SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Nigeria's and criminal keep on fool yourselves

Yes you are a criminal I am not, well done on describing your life. Now go and rob someone and go to jail, meanwhile I will continue living my life as a good hardworking Nigerian citizen in the U.K, majority of Nigerians don’t commit crimes, a small number out of 200 million people.

Shma:
As I quote from kenya standard nation.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has continued this heavy focus on the country’s transport infrastructure.
According to the latest data, his regime has built 80,000 kilometres of roads between 2013 and 2018, taking Kenya’s road network to 246,757 kilometres.

Yet Nigerians are the most educated immigrant group in America and one f the richest groups in general in America, lie with your dead sense.

A nation of illiterate

Nigeria is a country of incredible promises and unbelievable paradoxes. Despite being the ‘Nummer Eins’ on the world poverty chart and performing abysmally in other developmental indices, it is believed that we are generally a country of a good number of highly cerebral and successful individuals.

And that is true. Without breaking a sweat, several names easily come to mind. We have the Dangotes, Ovias, Elumelus, Rabius, Adelekes, Otedolas, Adenugas, Chukwumas, Okonjo-Iwealas, Adesinas, the list goes on. These are people who by their exploits, whether in business or engagements in other areas, have done themselves and their country proud.

It is quite easy to understand why many young people in Nigeria, and on the continent, look up to them and some others as role models. The young people pray to achieve the same level of excellence as these people have. They even sing about them.

We are a great country with an enviable heritage but a chequered history. Like many countries, we have had our share of good, bad, and extremely ugly situations. But unlike some of these other countries that have refused to be tied to the shackles of the past, if there’s anything we do with our past, it’s that we don’t learn the right lessons, that’s if we learn anything. George Santayana said it first, and he put it quite aptly that, “those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” That’s exactly our problem.

We just don’t learn. And we know this to be true; we know where we are coming from and we know where we are. Has much changed for the better, or best? Of course, the answer is no! After almost 60 post-independent years and 21 unbroken years in our present Fourth Republic, the leadership narrative is still the same.

Still the same do-your-own-make-I-do-my-own narrative or to call it by its proper name – turn-by-turn fixation. And we, the people, are to blame for this descent into the depths where reason is choked to death; where excellence is shown the door and where merit is displaced by mediocrity of the starkest order.

There’s a conversation that needs to be had, now, and it must be a serious sustained conversation until everyone gets it. We are the quickest to berate people that have not ‘achieved’ or ‘arrived’ by a certain age. Your neighbour has just clocked 30 years and you are the quickest to ask why she’s not married and you are comparing her to a friend who, at 29, is married and has three kids.

We are the biggest proponents of the ‘At-your-age’ theory that states categorically that ‘until you have attained a particular level at a particular age, you’ve failed in life.’ If we applied this theory that we so readily activate on our fellow Nigerians, then it is clear we have failed after 21 years of democracy in the Fourth Republic. And the biggest problem is our approach to leadership.

The government knows and is overwhelmed by the enormity of the tasks ahead. This menace was not created by one government, but we certainly wouldn’t be discussing Nigeria as the headquarters of global poverty if the best of us were at the helm of state affairs at all levels.

If after six elections and a change of baton between two political parties, we still haven’t figured that the current turn-by-turn thing isn’t working, then something is wrong somewhere. And if something is not working, the only reasonable thing to do is to change it. ‘Once bitten, twice shy’ is a good message with an ever-resonating impact but we seem, unfortunately, to not only fall twice but to fall all the time. This turn-by-turn mentality has ‘produced leaders’ at both federal and state levels but has that arrangement produced anything remarkable?

How do we stem the tides of insecurity? How do we get our industries back up? How do we revitalise our economy? How do we put our people to profitable work? How do we lift tens of millions out of extreme poverty? How do we raise the quality of education at all levels? How do we revive our comatose health sector? How do we become the country of reference in a fast-changing world? These are some of the questions. And visionary leadership is a great place to start.

Before us is a great opportunity in the name of COVID-19. The current experience with the pandemic is a perfect test for us as a country to inform how we must begin to think about the kinds of people we entrust with public office at all levels. Amid all the actions being taken by federal and state executives – both reasonable and unreasonable, people can begin to separate those with great plans and vision from the completely clueless and visionless ones.

While politicians will go ahead with the usual permutation on the best candidates (based on ethnic nationalities) to win elections for their parties, we must be able to shun non-progressive sentiments and put Nigerians and the future of Nigeria first.

This narrative must be sustained, though it is an incredibly difficult task considering how disunited the country is. There’s just too much at stake. If we do nothing, then we are all complicit in creating a messy situation where the country stagnates because power rotates. Who are we ‘doing’?

West African don't have a maintenance culture. I watched the video on gold smuggling - and the paved roads are in some parts completely potholed.

They have axle control - but look like they are pleading for enforcemnt. In Kenya you only overload if you want to be fined so heavily you'll never repeat it again.

If you overload by less than 1 tonne - you'll pay nearly 2,000 dollars.

Try overload by say 4 tonnes - you'll get 10,000 dollars.

When quality is considered, they are nowhere to be seen.

You want to give us the name of any of these so called 80 000 kilometers of new roads.

My guy, u r looking for trouble, seems u don forget about the lies on builing "500,000 units by 2022 that the Jubilee administration promised in 2017 on re-election" , believe these Nairaland Kenyans at our own risk

Like Nigeria South Africa is extremely endowed with natural wealth. You should be compairing yourselves with Norway and Finland not Kenya. Shame on you.

I'm not comparing SA to Kenya mate ....

South African road network.

zombie as usual

which blog have i posted ?

just simple facts

109515Km and 27% is tarmacked as you prefer.

your country has done just 7% and that is a shame


even if we reduce Ghana tarred roads network from 33% where it is to 23%, it will still be larger than your country own in both toatal length and percentage.

Desperate poor kid

Shma:
you're posting blogs from your fellow lying hobbits to deceive us. on ground things are different hobbit.
Your minister knows well than all the hobbits bloggers who try to paint your country with paper work
Let's go together before I post the link.

It's a shame only 23% of our entire road network is paved - Roads Minister
Video ArchiveListen to the Article
Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako Atta has said that the entire roads of the country including urban, feeder and highways comprising 72,381km of roads has only 23 percent paved and 77 percent unpaved.
And mind you, I have the same map of kenya from the same year it was taken, wait for it.

You are just wasting your time you are arguing with Nigerian people which are illiterate all they have is water inside their brain they cannot understand anything which you are saying. The only thing they understand is supporting a criminal. Just look at the former minister of petroleum in Nigeria saying that criminals have become role models in Nigeria also former president of Nigeria was present

They do that to almost everyone they suspect to Infringe ontheir laws.

In the UK, they specifically hire old people in your neighbourhood just to spy on you to see if you have given them the actual info without lies.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:

You already know which city this is when you see the Nelson Mandela Bridge.

Shma:
That year things were like this.

And things like this.

unfortunate for you, only 7% of that road network is tarred which means 9,000km of your highways and 8,000km of your feeder roads

while 16,000km of our Highways are tarred and 19,000km of our feeder roads.

If we build a bigger dam, the water will end up drying and that wont be good for us.
The inflow into the lake only happens during the raining season.

Anyway, there is a second dam down stream for both irrigation and electricity generation
