Artiiclebeast:
A sane mellow environment where people live a contented life without the greedy culture of materialism.

Nigerians will soon start trooping there to go run it down with their noise, filth, and thievery, and when the original owners get fed up with their nuisance level and ask them to leave their country for them, you'd start hearing "they are lazy, they are envious and jealous of us, they don't know how to do business, etc."

We are anyhow people jare

RuudVanNisteroy:

It is not rocket science, the leaders travel to Europe, Botswana and Namibia and fail to emulate what they see.

Lubumbashi:
It is caused by a lack of patriotism and ignorance. Not to mention corruption.

Grgton:
Just like sidewalks for pedestrians,

traffic light isn't valued in Nigeria..

RuudVanNisteroy:

Traffic lights are only in Lagos and Abuja.

Grgton:
most cities I've traveled to, there's traffic light, but majority of Nigerians don't stop at signals

RuudVanNisteroy:

Which other cities have traffic lights?

afube:



you reason like a child.

Grgton:
Uyo,
Enugu, have effective traffic lights...

even when there's sidewalks, most people will like to jump into the road.... lol no formal education about those infrastructures in Nigeria

Goke7:
nigerians are just hypocrites, this is what fashola was trying to do in Lagos by planting trees, flowers and creating open parks within the city which he did but folks started complaining by saying na flower we go chop. I am tired of Nigerians whining, if you truly want the best for Nigeria, it's gonna come with some sacrifices and pains. Do you know how many houses will have to be demolished to achieve all these kinds of landscaping, sidewalks and the likes.

Abegi we are not ready, just full of noise and talk

RuudVanNisteroy:

My exam is a month from now. When I pass it, I will send you a ticket to Namibia or Botswana, to see what real development is by visionary leaders.

RuudVanNisteroy:
More pictures of

Windhoek, Namibia

Korllami007:


Someone is comparing Abuja to this. You can't find even find a single place in the picture that's fenced. Just see how stores are organized.

History555:



Eko atalantic is for rich folks. To achieve this beauty is not hard. Build good roads with side walks and covered drainage. The side walks can be built on top of the drainage. Plant green grass at the centre if its a dual road. Have functional street and traffic lights. You can even construct hard shoulders for cars to park or bicycle riders. Wash the streets and side work twice a week. These things are not difficult to achieve. If poor Jamaica can achieve it how much more nigeria.

joyandfaith:


well said. unemployment is 100% in nigeria because nothing working because nobody is working. Nigeria has missed road. Thanks to visionless founding fathers.

Depressed101:
you mean development for widelife and not humans right? Cos last time I checked nothing is going on up their. And business is isn't booming. So ,so much for the development if you ask me

Abagworo:
Africans abhor decent city life. Most of the places you see this sort of organized infrastructure are places previously or presently built and inhabited by Europeans or Americans.

RuudVanNisteroy:

It will have to done at some point. If not 100 years from now the cities will still look the same. Unfortunately, houses will have to be demolished and people resettled.
The reason majority opposed the demolitions in Lagos was because there was a greedy landlord who wanted to turn those vacated lands to his estates.

RuudVanNisteroy:
More pictures to use cobblestone on all our streets.

Gaborone Botswana

Goke7:


don't really see much here, there are places in abuja and Lagos that are still well laid out like this, what we should be saying is that we want more and we are ready to bear the pains that will come in achieving this

RuudVanNisteroy:

Absence of fence around shops and office buildings is the major difference and wide sidewalks for pedestrians. And most importantly 24 hour electricity.

Goke7:


We had all these in the good old days in this country but worsening security from the 80s where armed robbery became popular brought all the fences you see everywhere. As for electricity we know it's a tall order if we continue our love for Generators' importation. It was in the mid 90s that generators became popular in Nigeria as electricity supply deteriorated.

We can gain all these back if we are truly serious about true reforms
