Tokyo is one of the most, If not the most densely populated cities in the world, The Greater Tokyo Area Alone has about 38million residents, That's 2 times higher than the population of Lagos!!

And despite this huge population, You can rarely hear about traffic in Tokyo, Tokyo has one of the fastest bullet trains in the world, Who needs a car when you can get to your destination faster with a bullet train?

It is also the second largest single metropolitan area in the world in terms of built-up or urban function landmass at 8,547 km2 (3,300 mi2), behind only New York City at 11,642 km2 (4,495 mi2)
Good question, it will be hard under this Unitary system. If we Practice Regional government or have Oduduwa Republic, we can surely build a world class civilisation like that if Tokyo.

Maybe but Johannesburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world..
Along with Capetown.
No Nigerian city can even be compared
No Nigerian city can even be compared to Windhoek, Namibia.

I know Uyo is not there yet but I'm hopeful Akwa ibom next Governor will concentrate on Infrastructures and beautifying Akwa ibom state in General.
I just pray we don't turn to Lagos that is unplanned and to populated or Abuja that is almost being over run with no Drinage system. Thankfully Akpabio Constructed a Drinage system in Uyo(Thank you Godswill)

All Akwa ibom need now is more investments into the state, big investments and Roads should be Constructed with sidewalks and cover drains.
I want to Thank all the Governors that have governed Akwa ibom state from Attah down to Udom now, I know you guys aren't perfect and you have stoled enough to last your generationa but nevertheless you guys kept alot of Ground to.

I want to Thank Udom for Ibomair, I know some Ibomites might think it a waste but I stay in Abuja and I can tell you I see Ibomair planes at least 3 times daily on the move(On an average)
With Ibomair many will love to invest in Akwa ibom seeing how successful it has become.

Akwa ibom is on the rise
Akwa ibom DAKKADA
AKWA IBOM AYAYA
ABASI ADIONG AKPABIO
ABASI ADIONG ATTAH
ABASI ADIONG UDOM

GOD bless Akwa ibom
GOD Bless Nigeria


Together we can do it, Do you have any plans on joining politics?? It's better you join politics and change things yourself, Because the way these fools in Government do things is kind of old-school,

We need more young people who can think out of the box in politics and finally change the narrative!!

Did it occur to your thick head that the reason Lagos is not ''like Tokyo'' is this:

Japan - Annual Budget: 1.9 TRILLION dollars

Nigeria - Annual Budget: 35 billion dollars


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_budget


See, instead of posting images of multibillion dollar skyscrapers and billion dollar city centers in Tokyo, and waffling naive, high school dropout idiocies about the 'black race', why don't you spend your time being the next Innoson, or Zinox, or Nord, or Flutterwave, or Paystack - See, these are all Nigerian pioneers in our industrialisation.

These are the firms and startups helping to diversify our economy, so that we can generate the sort of national income that can build 'Tokyos'.

They manufacture vehicles, computers and pioneer in tech solutions. They, and many other Nigerian firms, will be the industrial giants of the Nigerian and African future.

They directly contradict your attacks on ''black people'', and THEY are the capable people we have. YOU are nothing but a worthless, online noisemaking clown who sucks white nuts for breakfast.

The money that has been looted, since the inception of this Country till now, Is 10 times higher than the japanese budget and could've atleast built us something close to what the japanese have!!

But you chosed to ignore that, and scream when the black Race and Nigeria is being mentioned

You're a liar from hell.

How much has been looted that can possibly be ten times the Japanese budget, ie approximately 20 trillion dollars??

Do you even know how much Nigeria earns per annum?

Mumu. Don't go and learn basic figures and statistics relating to the country you're criticising.

Expert critic, yet you yourself, you're totally incompetent and clueless.

Name me one country on earth with an annual budget of just 35 billion dollars for over 200 million people?

None except Nigeria. The country's No 1 priority is Economic Diversification, meaning that YOU, and all the other loud critics of Nigeria and the ''black race'' need to GET OFF YOUR ASSES, and start something - anything - that can generate productivity and wealth.

The onus is on YOU, not Buhari, not other Nigerians, not the ''black race'', but YOU, to start something productive.

You keep making it seem the annual budget is used to take care of the 200 million people.

Nigeria's citizens have had to cater for themselves in providing: security,healthcare(even the President runs to UK and his wife Dubai for medical treatment,portable water,sewage treatment,education,electricity and 95% receive no social security from the government when unemployed.

You don't need billions and trillions to build habitable cities but visionary leaders. Is there any city in Nigeria that can rival Pyongyang, North Korea, even with its isolated economy? Only when you exploit, and use your resources all by yourself you'll get result.
When the federal ministry of works and infrastructures starts building and maintaining critical infrastructures all by Nigerians and not relying on foreign companies, only then shall we have something close to the skylines of Pyongyang, then Tokyo.

God bless you bro, That's exactly what I have been saying!!

We need intelligent individual who are into science or probably studied abroad to become our leader so as to propel the country to a greater heights!!

We need to start getting in the Tech world, That's the only thing can reduce poverty in Nigeria and The Black race entirely!!

Take Elon musk and Bill gate for Example!! And even china!! — Only science can save us, Until we start producing our own stuffs, Building our own Skyscrapers, constructing our own bridges, Making our own phones and gadgets all by ourselves, Nothing will ever change!!

Now we voted for a leader who doesn't even have a WAEC result, and here we are complaining!!
