Bear in mind, they got Independence 5 years after Nigeria!


Please read the above sentence again, I said after not before.

Firefire:
Evidence of failed leadership.

deomelo:






Ignorant and unintelligent comparison.

dbos11:
O boy, i don fall for this ooo

Singapore's visa now on my mind

afroniger:
This is a private investment for Pete's sake and has little to do with government or leadership. It's a freaking Mall, hello?! Must you people dig up ridiculous things just to look down on your country? Smh.

dukie25:
NEPA Certificate
As long as we elect leaders with NEPA certificates, am afraid the future appears bleak.

dukie25:


Why?

policy12:


Whether private or government, most times govt and its policy has a lot to do with how investors come to ur country. So you mean for the past 57years+ since we got independence Naija as a nation cannot attract any private investors who can do this or more in our country.

deomelo:






Ignorant and unintelligent comparison.

afroniger:


Imagine him saying Nigeria hasn't attracted any private investor that would build a common mall since independence?? I don't think his attitude has anything to do with ignorance. It's either plain and deliberate stupidity or self-hatred.

deomelo:


Nigeria of course is not a well managed country, but comparing both countries missed the mark because of geography, culture, national character, access to tools of development and manpower.

Singapore is basically a Chinese country with well over 70% Chinese population, they rapidly developed based on resources, investments, tools and manpower from China.

Now please tell us, what do you have in common with Singapore that gave you the same opportunities like Singapore?

In fact, Singapore was part of Malaysia and they obtained their independence from Malaysia, are both on the same level today?

dasparrow:


Stop making excuses for Nigeria's failure. The same brain God gave Singaporeans is the same brain he gave Nigerians. The difference is that the Nigerian has refused to use his brain. You people keep supporting politicians who cannot differentiate their left hand from their right all because they are from your tribe and/or religion.

You know fully well that Nigerians don't see each other as one people yet many of you have blatantly refused to restructure or downright split the country so everyone can move on.

Nigeria has no excuse to be the shithole third world country that she has become. The average Nigerian is not intelligent that is why you people keep repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.

Nigerians know what need to be done to move the country forward but many Nigerians are too complacent. Most Nigerians are too selfish. As long as they and their immediate family members are comfortable, everyone else can go to hell. As long as they are living in their big mansions with walls as high as the wall of Jericho with soldiers and policemen safe guarding their homes and families, they can care less if the country goes up in flames.

Nigeria will never be like Singapore or other developed countries because most Nigerians lack the passion, intelligence, selflessness and will power to move their country forward. They are content living off the breadcrumbs that the political elite throw at them while they sing their praises on social media including Nairaland and wallow in extreme poverty.

The funniest of it all is that Singapore ranks 78th in the list of the world's oil producing countries while Nigeria is the sixth largest oil producing country in the world
