Hmmm
See development...
This can only happen in countries where their leaders are not insane and dumb...
Some will come here and tell us Dubai is not as big as Nigeria...

A country with serious and sincere leaders and a people with one will and desire to forge ahead as one people. There is no limit to what man can achieve if we put our heads together. The story of the tower of Babel in the Bible is actually God revealing this truth to us but yet we cannot live above reckless hate.

I weep for Nigeria!

You too should weep. See what an Arab nation with an arid climate has been able to achieve with their God given talent. Here your leaders are only thinking about how to share power in 2019.

Divided we stand in Nigeria.
They're Arabs, when there leader does wrong, every unite to scold him/her.
But here in Nigeria, some tribe will praise him for being a failure, and some set will try every possible means to thwart every good will he has coz he's not from their tribe

Bur Dubai the historical heart of the city, translated as 'mainland Dubai' is shown the early stages of its development boom.

Today what's left of the old city contains several renovated traditional homes, boutique hotels and cafes
