Kigali is really beautiful, nyaru genge is a site to behold, but then their poverty rate still high, this is where i saw women working like men, i pity their condition, clovis a friend of mine in Rwanda told me that if not that Rwanda is a land locked country surrounded by thousand hills, if they have natural resources like Nigeria, Rwanda will be like Europe, and thats true, my one year stay over there made me realize that we still have a long way to go in Nigeria, you can argue with each other but you dare not race your hand up to slap somebody or you'll find yourself in prison

As a result of their small size and all, countries like Rwanda are relative easier to manage and can be developed quite easily just like Singapore.

However, their land mass and population puts them at a continuing loss in terms of economies of scale.

So quick development but just like those
small European countries there really ain't prospect for much.

No think am o. Rwanda is far ahead of us, we just have a bigger economy due to our monster size. There was this BBC Hausa report that I once listened to, the reporter said Kigali has more beautiful neighborhoods than even Abuja. He further said many world billionaires have homes there or come for holidays (don't know how true but he mentioned Bill Gates). He said the general mood in Rwanda is that of tranquility, restraint and soberness unlike Nigeria's riotous and boisterous nature.

The highlighted text just did it for me. This is my number one consideration whenever I'm assessing any location for its liveability. I'm in love right now and would surely try to visit Kigali in the near future.

By the way, which Nigerian town or city, do you reckon, comes closest to having a semblance of a "general mood of tranquility, restraint, and soberness"? It used to be between Calabar and Abuja, but both cities have been corrupted and are now ridden with crime and insecurity.

My best bet now is Abakaliki, but then, who knows anywhere better?

It's high time we put our population in check... One man one wife... Two kids
Exceed it and be paying money to state government monthly

raker300:
stop defending incompetence. Our country is full of it. Only in 2014 did we get a working train system. Only in 2014 did we start building power stations.

Rwanda is miles ahead of us biko

We don't have an open economy which they have ....investing in Nigeria u need a Nigerian as partner and that's cos we won't employment ...for lesser populated countries it need not be so ..so u see people investing in them

You know it can't & won't happen. Who's going to collect the money? How will they monitor everybody to see who has more children or wives? How about concubines & unwed mothers?
What if the Northern / Muslim elders just allege that it's a plot to prevent the fulfillment of their religious obligation to marry up to four wives? Or if a Northern president enforced the policy in the southern regions to decimate their population but was laissez-faire in his own place allowing his people's population to keep growing in order to claim greater share of federal government allocation?

Rwanda is not in any way comparable to Nigeria. How many cities are in the poor backward country? Nigeria has well over 200 cities with population exceeding 100,000. One can compare Rwanda with individual States and not even Lagos.

raker300:
thats a lie. Dstv has been raping Nigerians with their high prices..do they have Nigerians as partners? All Nigerians do at dstv is distribution.

Remove oil and Nigeria is the poorest country in Africa.

2017, we're still talking of diversification.

Rwanda's exports are as follows:

raker300:
nonsense!! That's the mentality that keeps dwarfing the Nigerian economy.
When it comes to individual wealth, yes Nigeria takes the lead but collective wealth is a no no!

Lagos is an example of a failed state. Dubai's has almost similar income with Lagos but compare the 2 cities. Lagos is lagging behind in development and you know it. That place is an example of too much money with nothing to show

Rossikk:
Are you minding these small children? To them anyplace with a storey building that is outside Nigeria must be better.

Rossikk:
It is a matter of TIME. Lagos is developing rapidly unless you've been living under a rock.

raker300:
calm down. Lagos is older than Nigeria, Lagos saw no war, Lagos has access to the sea and they're still trying to develop in 2017?

Rwanda on the other has seen worst days and like eastern Nigeria is landlocked and politically behind..yet look at them.

You fail to grasp the point here
