The more the population the more problems that's why I just smile when people compare electricity generation in Nigeria to Ghana. But still not an excuse not to get it right though Ghana is like Lagos population if Lagos gets its act together it can provide stable electricity but I can't boldly say the same for 200million population.

Please. Let me get you right. So, you mean the more the population, the more the tendency to have potholes on the roads?

Not to discredit you for trying to think outside the box, but brother, if you have been to Kigali or even our neighboring countries, you wouldn't put up what you have said there.

With all the money nigeria has we cannot afford good roads in all parts of the country. Am not saying we are not trying but with the little they have they are still better than us.

Only 12.5 million people? That's even less than Lagos population. No wonder Nigeria is viewed as the Giant of Africa. Autojosh show us a country in Africa of about 200 million with no pot holes, that'll be a fair comparism. Nevertheless it will be nice to tour Kigali

Dumb. So population is an excuse? If at all it can be, how does Nigeria compare to USA and China in terms of population?

This African country -  not too long ago - was ravaged by a major civil war.

The war brought the country, most especially its capital city, Kigali, to ruins.

However, the country has revolved to pick itself from the ashes of destruction.

Today, Rwanda is fast becoming a model for many African countries.

Rwanda, under a visionary leadership, has impressively developed its social infrastructure to the extent that it has become a key destination for foreign direct investments.

On the last Saturday in each month, traffic stops and the city comes together to clean the streets of Kigali. Even the President takes part in the exercise.

Non-biodegradable plastic bags have been banned. The government fines persons or business with plastic bags.

Autojosh.com recently paid a visit to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. While there,  something caught our attention. The network of impressive tarred roads, were all devoid of potholes!

The pothole-free tarred roads in Kigali also features streetlights that are  functional. Well-paved sidewalks further accentuate the pleasant outlook of the roads.

The road networkin Kigali is under the management of the Rwanda Transport Development Agency. The agency is supervised by the Rwanda Ministry of Infrastructure.

Rwanda - a landlocked nation - is highly dependent on road transport. The country has no rail services.

The pump price of PMS (Petrol) is 1,109 Rwanda Franc. That is equivalent of   N470/liter.

Diesel, there, sells for 1005 Rwanda Francs. That is the equivalent of N426/liter.

Rwanda Franc exchanges for 850/870 per Dollar.

Rwanda has a population of about 12,5 million inhabitants.

Paul Kagame is the President of Rwanda.

I've also been very impressed by the progress made in Rwanda. I've been opportuned to hear a TED talk about this country's recovery since the war. Without sounding sexist, I believe credit should also go to the women. It's the country with the highest number of women is executive public offices, about 65%. When women are allowed to be in charge, great things happen. Just saying

Look most foreigners living in the country clearly laud the progress this country has made in such a short time. Not a fluke.

This is the chance Nigeria missed after Biafra War: to build a decent country. Instead it became coups upon coups.

I knew it is Rwanda before I opened the thread. If Kagame says he wants 5 terms, the people of Rwanda will let him. He is an Epitome of what leadership should be. A man I amdmire so much. He motivated his people and now many Rwnadians have sane mind. They are progressive, friendly and welcoming. The scars of the war is still there but they look beyond it. I didn’t see him talk about exporting weed either !
