Am not disputing the FACT that our politicians/leaders are corrupt, the point am trying to drive home is that we too the citizens are not helping matter.
Do you think that foreign politicians are not corrupt?
There is corruption everywhere, Nigerians own is crippling.

So when you get into politics would you be willing to charge heavy taxes to pay for the good roads you want?

Our budget for thos year is 26 billion dollars. South africa spent 23 billion dollars on education alone last year.

London's budget is 2 billion dollars this year.Lagos budget is 3 milllion dollars. ( for the state not the town)

Our oil revenue is not enough to feed everyone for a month self.

How do you raise the money.?
So A trillion naira+ is now 3 million dollars to you?

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
We can't afford to pay these kinds of taxes because the common man has been brought to his knees by government sponsored poverty. Even the small one we are paying, nothing to show for it. Local councils tax businesses here in Lagos, but you need to see the environment. Why pay tax when it is not being put to use? What is the government doing with the multiple taxation revenue?

It also has a rooftop pool, which offers one of most of the most iconic views in the world. Nigerians leaders loot the country blind to enjoy this kind of luxuries. Former Governor of Bauchi and former National Chairman of PDP, Muazu moved to Singapore to enjoy his loot when Goodluck Jonathan lost the election.

Yes it does, if you have seen the movie "crazy rich Asians" they used the building in some scene of the movie, I still don't know why African leaders are backward, they travel to other countries and see how developed it is but they can't join hands together to develop their own, instead they loot every thing dry instead, it's just so bad

Nigerian leaders will develop the country if they are banned from all developed countries. That is when you will see how rapid Nigeria will turn into a developed country in less than a decade.

Nigeria is a shithole. A fucking failed state that still deceive itself of being some of importance to the world. The hell do you expect from a failed state with zero knowledge on actually how to run a developing government talkless a country. You expect a road like that in Nigeria grin grin grin grin grin. First stabilize electricity in that shithole before even talking about modern road. Even things that was a thing of wonder in the 60s or less is a thing of wonder and pride to Nigerians in 2020. Hell, your government, be it federal or state, uses flyovers, bridges and road building as boast of their so called development or exemplar of their work/achievement. The worst, you actually have slowpoke population who literally applaud that shit and parade those “achievements” as a thing of pride. The country is a fucking joke. Even third world countries do not do the shit Nigerian government or people use as evidence of development or achievement. The day you people start accepting that that your Nigeria is a complete failed state is the day you may actually stop dreaming that it’ll remotely come in having something found in both 1st, 2nd and even 3rd world countries.
