Your mother's stinking cun.t.

What about the other lines that have been completed across the nation so far? Why not highlight those instead of one that is slow to complete?

Because you are a racist bastard who has no interest in our progress.

I don't argue with nincompoop like you, I have always seen you around here defending Nigerian politicians from thread to thread!!


Even if you're benefitting from this bad Governance, does that mean you shouldn't apply your common sense??

You are NOT a ''black man''. You are a white racist impostor on nairaland.

Your job here is cast blacks as racially inferior. The topic itself is secondary to you.

Get lost. We reject your racism. BASTARD.

You're so delusional, I pray GOD heal you!!

You're so naive that you can't even differentiate between how a typical white person writes and a Nigerian!!

Nawa!

The annoying part of it all is that, they will go to these developed countries and be wowing at the development of the country, but they come back home and find it so difficult to do simple street roads ...

A British leader will travel to Tokyo,Japan and marvel at the train system and try replicate it in London,England.

An American leader will travel to Munich, Germany and marvel at the engineering and latest technology and create a factory that replicates what he saw that generates employment in New York.

A Nigerian leader will travel to London,England and marvel at the architecture and streets and run back home to loot money to acquire property in Chelsea,London.

We don't have these kind of streets in nigeria because we are not ready to pay the kind of taxes that would fund and maintain those kind of streets.

In the UK, if you are living in the city, you pay council tax which ranges from 60000 to 100000 naira monthly depending on the city. That money goes into making the cities look nice

That's why uk cities have great streets.

If we charged that kind of tax in Nigeria, Nigerians would scream.

So we pay scanty taxes and get scanty and bad roads

The bad roads we have in Nigeria are what we can afford. The sad thing is that looting still happens on top

Pay the taxes with which money? The Nigerian government has not provided anything for its citizens for them to cater and take care of responsibilities.

The federal government is irresponsible in all his ways and wayward in its dealings. Look at how jobless the teeming population is. Is it bad for the government to organize a workshop for university graduates after NYSC for practical skill acquisition?

Can’t the government as its responsibility under oath to provide jobs for the populace. Go to CBN, the same people working for the last 50 years are still there! When they are not, their children takes their place! The nepotistic style of government is hindering meaningful growth. No more technical know how, but who know man!

Government has failed in all his responsibilities under oath to safeguard lives and property, yet no one sees nothing wrong with anything. It’s shameful nigeria is living in the past slave era in the 21st century. Shame on you nigeria!

How convenient to put these words together, you flatter yourself much supporting nonsense. They are able to pay council tax worth between 60000 to 100000 from earnings of how much again, take that much from the wage of the average Nigerian worker and you have a negative pay for him/her.

Nigeria won't have such infrastructures until we imbibe a culture of responsible and responsive living as citizens and also start electing men with growth focused visions to public service. Men who understands that leadership is a call to serve and not to rule. Until your politicians are able to see they are in those offices to deliberate on and draft public policies that creates and enables institutions that bring about sustainable growth and development, expect nothing sophisticated.

Nigerian leaders aren't responsible for keeping roads and infrastructures tidy and properly utilized, citizens are. The difference between Banana Island and Ketu isn't the geographical locations of this two areas but the people living in these different locations, THEY THINK DIFFERENTLY. Leaders in these cases are secondary defaulters, they fail to make and fully implement the right policies.
