RuudVanNisteroy: That can happen if Nigeria is restructured into a real federal system. It will never happen under the unitary system that Nigeria is operating. |

poseidon12: Sorry, but restructuting does not work Yes, I know we have in mind the first republic, but at the end of the first republc, most parts of Nigeria weren't developed. Most parts of Nigeria had no light, no roads, no schools etc. Most of the infrastructure was built under the unitary government since 1966....doesn't mean unitarisim is good either. The problem with Nigeria and restructruing..is that regions will sell their raw materials and share the money. At the end of the day, the same old arguments we are ahving at the national level will be replicted at the regional level ( and if regions worked...why were people so pro-states? It wasn't because the North because the Hausas prefered the old regional structure) I want to see Niigerians learning to use their raw materais to power industrial growth. Not so that we can sell and share the money. Then we can talk restructruing. |

RuudVanNisteroy: So you want a Nigerian leader to go to Tokyo and replicate their railway system...and maintain it with what money and on a gdp that is far less than Japan.? You mean well, but what you are implying will end us up with more debt or with a railway that would break down in years because no money for maintenance.(due to the fact that people want to pay cheap ticket prices). You Want Nigeria to be like Japan? Support a government that makes Nigeria industrial like Japan. Support a government that allows the power sector to charge properly for electricity and petrol...so that there would be enough power for an active industrial sector. You want Nigeria to be like Japan. On a gdp and tax rate far less than Japan/ ? Shey you bought Ferrari at the price of a bicycle/? |

PhiliptheArab: Are you a politician? You sound like one, albeit smart. No, Nigerians are not asking for Japan-like systems, Nigerians are asking for functionality. Common train system your leaders cannot even get right. They are still fighting on how to build it with geopolitical manipulations to suit their ulterior motives. Sorry, if Nigeria had Britain's money today, they still wouldn't look like cool places in SA, Egypt, and Morocco, not to even talk of the Western world. On the other hand, if Britain had Nigeria's money today, lived here and ruled this country, they'd do something functional and beautiful. These are facts. Don't keep supporting kleptocrats in agbada answering politicians in Nigeria. It seems you have not come to terms with the mind boggling corruption in the Nigerian space. 1 Like |

No need to hate your race for those saying black man this or that, it's the same we Nigerians with black brain that go abroad and amaze the people living there with our creativity and skills. The real problem this country has is a lack of patriotism. If we upheld our country like we do with our religion and tribal men then everything is just a matter of time. It used to mean something when you say Federal Republic of Nigeria. It's a mindset, its why they can behave and develop things accordingly. It's why Russians, Americans, Indians etc are top dog in development as they are patriotic to the core. The small patriotism that we had with the endsars protest was taken aback due to fear from the very officials who are meant to hold our comradry. Nigeria is an identity lost child being pulled by mentally backward and socially bankrupt individuals. 1 Like |

We keep bashing ourselves for no just reason. Do we know that if the govt works to increase the value naira to dollars slot can be achieved? Instead they keep working to devalue the naira every single day... The very first thing we need in this country is an economic revolution, increase the value of naira to dollars and watch every other thing fall in place. |

GreyLaw: Well, I won't mind a functional railway system in Nigeria. The problem is, in Nigeria, it would be government run...meaning that instead of it being run effiecnetly, it would be flled with people appointed by politcians fr politicans, and ticket prices would be sold cheaply meaning...the rail loses money.And then collapses (We were here with Nigeria railways...plus the corruption too ) Funny you mentioned the UK. In the 1970's the UK rail was government run....a ticket from London to Manchester cost below 5 pounds. And the rail was badly run and messed up They prvatised the thing...except the entity cntrolling the rails in the 1990's. Today a ticket from London to Manchester is very expensive, BUT.....the railways run much better. |

McTominay: Private investment. It is not like government came in and built them. Plus you want us to build famrs and refinereis and industries and at the end of the day we sell the stuff they produce below the production price because 'NIGERIANS ARE POOR'? Shey you can run industries and refinereis at a loss? |

We may never have it cos, both the people and those ruling them are not created to have this kind of beautiful place. Even when some exceptional leaders try to build something close to that, the citizens will vandalize them. I have seen people vandalize street lights. Steal the batteries or the solar installations. The beautiful gauze used to demarcate roads to avoid unnecessary trespass, are bn vandalized and resold. Stainless hand rails on our walk-ways are destroyed and stolen. So tell me, how can beautiful cities work here. |

dalass: One thing the US and the UK and other developed countries do that we don't is rely heavily on taxation for funding government projects...that way, people are incentivised to hold their governments to account, and governments have to perfom or else... Here in Nigeria, most government revenue comes from revenue from selling whatever raw materails we have like oil...and loans which we take when the cost of our raw materials on the internantional market goes below sustenance rate.Because the money does not come from the people, government is not incentivsed to spend the money wisely and people are not incentivsed to hld their governemt to account...besides all the economic discusiions are about how money is shared, not how it is used. 2 Likes |

Gerrard59: It has been said that most history we know today in books, schools, media e.t.c is propaganda history. To study true history and the reality in which black people find themselves include the following black icons in your study: John Henrik Clarke, Cheikh Antadiop, Runoko Rashidi, Frances Welsing, Chancellor Williams, Kwameh Nkurumah, Thomas Sankara, Steven Biko Bantu. For books about history you can start with: The destruction of black civilisation by Chancellor Williams How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney Stolen Legacy by Dr George G. M James Search history of king Leopold 2 of Belgium to know what he did with Africans in Congo and its consequences then and today. On the internet to learn about Korea(mongols) and other history you go to http://realhistoryww.com/ scroll down then click china-2 Also since true history is not easily available, you can learn on facebook by typing "Africa" in the search bar and alot to learn on YouTube. Be the judge when you are done, decide if it is true, if there are any dots to connect and decide where the problems of African/black man started and you will know the way forward. You might have known some of these though. And also avoid this popular search engines. This is not feel good history.

Tell1234: They don't have to drill their borehole or generate their light because they pay heavily in council tax, water levy and pay for power heavily enough that the cities, the power companies and water companies have enough money to pay for things well well. Here in Nigeria we don't pay as much, so we don't get enough power and water and light and road...so eveyrone has to drill their own borehole annd buy their own gen. In the UK...cost of power per kwh is 86 naira. Here in Nigeria it was between 20-30 naira until recently. UK companies have enough cash as a result to pay for fixing power..PLUS...everyone and his mama pays for power. Nothing for ilelgal connection, join join, etc. |
