But he is right. Nigeria is no less incompetent than those other nonentity African countries he mentioned. They seem to be doing better only because they are small. Countries like China and don't India have existed far longer than Nigeria and other subsahara countries which are mere European recent creations.

Nato008:
yet again it comes down to incompetency... u say population, other climes that have imposed or done population control...moreover we never plan for the future here...is all about now now now..do we have sustainable development plans here, u say those countries have existed for long..yet the once were like us and the foundations for what the are were laid then so honestly do u think we have any foundation to build on

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
before year 2025 Mogadishu Somalia will pass Lagos in cities to live in. You think other African countries are sleeping like Nigerians and voting for criminals

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Please before you make noise go and visit these cities and see how organised they are. I have been to 17 African countries. Most African countries are more organised than Nigeria just look at Botswana in 2019 3800 Nigerians paid for Botswana residence permit in one year 100000 US dollar is in one year is for residential in one year. If Nigeria is so great why are the citizens paying 100000 US dollar for Botswana resident permit. What this means Nigerian pay about 48 million Naira for Botswana resident permit. Lagos is now number 30 Something city in Africa to live in

Just do the math 48 million Naira for each Nigeria x 3800 Nigerian in 2019.

The height Kigali, Windohek , Ghana, Cameroon And Bostwana has attained and do intend to attain, I doubt if Nigeria will beat them let alone reach such height in the next 60 years.
These countries now operate on another level, whereas What Nigeria is targeting as vision 2050 are what these cities are now operating and 10 years ahead of the vision 2050..
Anyone that understands the dynamics of economics and have the opportunity should migrate to these countries and meet their dream

China and India were poorer than Nigeria but even in their poverty then, they had structures in place.
And this is why they are developing fast today. But that is not to say they didn't go through similar problems to what we have today even for longer than we have.

But then, my argument is not about those countries but about the other African countries mentioned here. Those countries, like I said, are not more competently run than Nigeria. They seem better just because they're smaller. Take Ghana for example. Ghana is just 30m people. Why is it poor and dusty with all the oil and diamond and gold it has?

Csami:
You can't boast about uninterrupted power supply for 24hrs and you're comparing this hellhole to civil countries?

Why would anyone in their right mind compare Nigeria without light to countries with steady uninterrupted power supply?

Still don't know the reason many Nigerians love to downgrade their country and tend to hype other countries...

Have watched videos of lots of African countries on YouTube mostly the over hyped R country with Namibia and bostwana.. Honestly I see nothing worth celebrating in this countries they all look like on over hyped piece of town.

Namibia is kinda a big country yet still has most of it's part underdeveloped.. Even the overyhped windohek that was probably developed by the German is still surrounded by slums.. Just a few expanse of the city is developed the rest are just bushes with good roads.. Same with the R country 50% of Kigali is slum and Kigali is not even better than Abuja in Nigeria but the media won't let us rest with hype..

The only Africa cities developed in my own opinion are

johansaburg
Nairobi
Cape Town
Abijan
Addis Ababa
Daa res Salem
Luanda
Lagos
Cairo
Pretoria
Algiers
kinasha
Accra

The rest Re just too overrated..

plaindealer:
Kigali is mostly a backward and underdeveloped place, just travel outside the city center and it's nothing but shanties.

The rest of Rwanda is underdeveloped, even more than half of Rwanda doesn't have access to electricity

Rwandan as a country, their economy is 42nd in Africa while Lagos, a state inside Nigeria is 5th largest, dozen's of positions ahead of poor Rwanda.

The silly and ignorant comparisons are mainly peddled by anti Nigerian people from the SE part of Nigeria.

It's Ignorance.

Ghana and Cameroon? You must be smoking cow shit!

gaddafe:
Bro forget about what you watched on TV. Namibia is more organised than Nigeria by far. If you have the cash try visiting there. You. Will be shocked.

edoairways:
They may not be better however they have some of the basic amenities needed by a country. Just as you have high influx of Beninoise and Togolese in Nigeria,so they have high influxs of Nigerians over there. Your currency has lost value at the Forex market.

I don't see any of this countries beating Nigeria in even in the next hundred years... Bro leave ur state, tour other states Nigeria is actually developing.. ngl I see Lagos becoming one of the best cities in the world with lot of projects going on in the cities.. once eko Atlantic is completed I see no Africa cities that will stand Lagos. .Even the fast developing ikoyi and vi is still better than most African cities

What is Eko what is Lagos?

You are a indigene but you don't know the difference.

ruggedtimi:
Population is not an accuse for Nigeria's wahala. Countries with high population are known for their strong military but Nigeria even for Africa list no dey first 4..

edoairways:
Yet Lagos can't boast of uninterrupted power supply. I

Lagoon0:
Where in Lagos has stable electricity ?


Edited: i saw the argument of lexy2014 and forgiveness and both party where right .

But ill put to forgiveness that there Is nothing like Lagos city these days.

We as Lagos indigene see only eko Lagos island as Lagos.
And according to our division all area under Lagos division (Lagos island) is also refer to as Eko. Epe remains epe, eti-osa thats is part of your so-_called Lagos city is epe land.

It has ijebu people dominant as natives. Do you think epe local government is the only place referred to as epe?

The ijebu who migrated away from ijebu ode down to oko epe see themselves has expanding in the oko epe. Lekki ibeju-lekki and epe are under epe division.

There is nothing like Lagos city. What we know is eko. When people say awori lo leko. They refer to Lagos island not eti-osa

The mainland added to the then LAgos was just jara. Lagos remains (Lagos island )

thelinguist:
cotonou is not better than Kano or Delta.. Forget!!

thatigboman:
the city of lagos which was the former federal capital comprise of lagos mainland and lagos island. The mainland was ebutte metta, yaba, surulere up to igbobi. The island comprise apapa island, lagos island, ikoyi island and victoria island. Then ikeja was capital of lagos state but very far from lagos city. But lagos metamorphosed into a mega city

Aderr:
If we were 50million instead of 200m, do you think Nigeria would be this bad? Population is an excuse when it comes to Africa. Point to one African country with a population above 60m doing well. African leaders are incompetent. Finish. Even South Africa is struggling.

And you need to get your facts right. Nigeria is in top 4 of African militaries.

ruggedtimi:
so liberia's population is upto to 50m and they are doing well?

Aderr:
That's the incompetence I was talking about. Ghana seems to be doing well not because the government is doing anything special but because the country is small.
My point is that those African countries you people are hyping are no better than Nigeria. They're all useless, including Nigeria.

Tumbulum:
how many Nigerians can afford to feed themselves? Stop hyping yourself. You are the shithole poveryy capital of the planet

thatigboman:
na lie u lie. Cotonou is far better than lagos in terms of infrastructure, security and quality of living

ba7man:
How many Nigerians have you heard of dying of hunger??
