I've been telling you, you have valid points, and you know what you're talking about. But because you lace your contents with insults and aggressive comments, your points no matter how beautifully stated and valid would be lost on your readers.

Truth is that Ghanaians are very corrupt also. They just don't 'out' themselves like self-hating and disunited Nigerians.

The reality on the ground is far from the carefully packaged facade Ghana and her queen's English-obsessed leaders try to portray to the world.

Fact is that Ghanaian leaders have no qualms spinning reality to appear to be what they are not. The world swallows it same as CNN quickly bought the Lekki "massacre" propaganda.

Any intelligent and exposed person will know that Nigeria's challenges are unique and that it is unique solutions, peculiar to our needs, that will address those challenges. Not silly and if oranf comparisons.

That's a cornerstone idea of my proposal as I personally hate the lack of raised and clearly demarcated walkways for Lagos roads.

Covered drainage, with surface area extending 1.5 meters ideally or more, would act simultaneously as pedestrian walkway.

Obdk:
You contradict your self... You say single unusual project yet the article you posted mentioned 4 interchange built at reduced cost...

Exactly what Peter Obi keep talking about.. Reduced cost

OneTemplate:
You never talk like an objective critic. Instead you always sound like a racist berating a black person to validate negative stereotype he already has in his mind.

Fact is Nigeria has challenges and corruption is an issue but trust me, as a universally well-traveled person, when I say Nigeria is still one of the best places to live in even with it's issues.

What people like you and most Nigerians fail to grasp is that the world, with dwindling resources, has to inevitably move towards private entities and individual bearing more financial burden per the sustenance of society at large.

We have to get our heads out of the "government must provide everything" mentality. Being pragmatic and facing the reality of today, the Nigerian government will struggle to provide optimal Healthcare, power supply, core infrastructure and security let alone others needs of Nigerians like jobs, welfare stipend etal.

We all need to get creative rather than remain critics always pointing at what Nigeria is lacking while we hype those who are actually nowhere near us and have very different challenges to us.

I am currently putting together a proposal I will try and get an audience for with Lagos State regarding financing models, based on residents subsidized contributions, for modernisation and construction of internal roads and guttering in the State.

Suggesting solutions and/or looking for it is what develops modern societies. As it is right now, Nigeria is carrying too many critics and passengers like you who only know to show what obtains elsewhere and make demands without offering any solutions.

History555:
Ghana is beneath you yet common 24hrs electricity you can't provide, common free quality healthcare u can't provide, jobs zero, security on highway zero, checkmate inflation zero, eradicate malaria zero, provide clean water zero, pay salaries zero, stop corruption zero. They are beneath you yet millions of your citizens including your leaders are all seeking for international passport.

Aconomist:
But so-called cost-benefit analysis didn't defeat the $1.5 billion rail link to Niger Republic or the "worlds largest gas powerplant" in Maiduguri.

The biggest problem in Lagos right now is extreme traffic.

Aconomist:
The interchange allows a driver coming from the north to go either South, East or West, while the typical interchange only allows you to go south or West, putting strain on other parts of the road network.

Something like this will be useful in Marina District, Lagos.

plaindealer:
They have serious inferiority complex issues, there's nothing in this world that's not better than them, they obviously hate themselves that they always feel below and inferior to things and entities that are actually below them.

It's a mental disease.

plaindealer:
Obviously, everything that looks good to them must be in Nigeria and if not, it means Nigeria is rubbish even when it's obvious that we don't need such wasteful monstrosity.

Aconomist:
GDP per capita is the GDP divided by population. Ghana has surpassed Nigeria on this metric.

Aconomist:
They don't look good to me. They are just useful in easing traffic congestion.

Aconomist:
Nigeria needs it badly. Every serious country has them to keep traffic flowing smoothly.

Here is Dubai.

EMMY76:
Unfortunately we don't have this kind of complex flyover anywhere in nigeria but am sure nigerian corrupt politicians will definitely budget for over $200m for this project.

Aconomist:
You need to update your data to 2020.

Please stop misinforming and peddling fake news sir. Nigeria is in the top 5 FDI for 2020 which is the latest report.

Ghana is not even in the top FDI destinations in Africa yet none of these top countries pay CNN to advertise sir.

How much do you think this would cost in Nigeria?

Ghana is beneath us across the board.

I don't know why you low self-esteem and inferiority complect people always put countries that below you ahead of your own country.

Must be self hatred and self-loathing.

They are now Arabs speaking Nation. There true language is lost to history, though some still speak Egypt language. Bro, nothing like your heritage

Why do we have to rely on white sources for this information?

RisingSun1:
Incoherent Rubbish!

America you're talking is not the country holding Biafra. They're are nonchalant over the issue of Biafra.

All Western nations sees Nigeria and issues emanating from Nigeria as territorial problems of Britain. Just as Britain treats what is happening in Southern Cameron as French territory dispute. Intervening there can be seen as trespass. The West respect each other that much.

If Biafrans want Independence, the strategy is to fight to finish. South Sudan is an example. UN only intervenes where there is crisis.

The US and the West in general were against the Independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, but the fought defeated Georgia and is free and independent from Georgia today against the wish of America.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
It won't exist and year in year out, you are worried about it, just like Nigeria. So much energy exerted on sth that won't exist.

And you even need the validation of other countries, including the ones you tagged racist to prove your point. Oga, there is nothing superpower about Nigeria as we speak, the country is in a downhill slope, answering present in all bad indices.

Peaceful secession is suddenly more problematic to you that the terrorism, the banditry and yet another terrorism called Fulani herdsmen.

dochenaj:
You're actually right on many points.

It is interesting to note that the bulk of the people who support Kanu are these categories of people ; people living outside of Nigeria, artisans, business people with low capital investments.

Nnamdi Kanu is not being pragmatic about the pursuit of Biafra. He needs to propose practical solutions to the exit.

His pride and god-like disposition would never get him the popular votes of the people neither will it attract the crop of intelligent people he needs to formulate the perfect secession plan. Even Ojukwu with all his charisma did not depict such boastfulness, though his huge ego was one of the reasons Biafra lost the war.

There is this Igbo idiom "Igbo e nwe Eze", translated as (The Igbo's have no king). Just like Israel did to Rehoboam the son of Solomon "to your tent oh Israel, look after your own house oh Jacob." That is how the average Igbo man feels. He is king in his house, and will not bow to any other.

He keeps talking about referendum, without realizing that if there is an emergency referendum tomorrow most people that falls into the supposed Biafra regions would vote against secession. You think any sensible "Biafran" with business interests outside of the region will be stupid enough to vote a "yes" without knowing what will happen to his business.

We see how the Brexit vote turned out with a number of "yes" voters opting to remain in EU. And this is a loose association in comparison to Biafra and Nigeria.

EcoBrick:
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has placed a ban on a planned meeting of some Igbo residents in the Oyigbo Local Government Area of the state over fears that such a meeting could spark fresh unrest in the area.

The meeting by a group known as the United Igbo community is scheduled to be held at Oyigbo on Saturday, April 10, 2021.

Wike in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim directed security agencies to ensure that the said meeting does not hold to forestall a breakdown of law and order in the area.

Oyigbo LGA which shares boundary with Abia state is considered a stronghold of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Wike had in October 2020 declared a 24-hour curfew in Oyigbo after a police station and other facilities were attacked by hoodlums.

The governor claimed that Rivers won’t allow troublemakers to take the law into their own hands and use the protest period to commit anarchy.

Wike also declared a N50 million bounty on a leader of the pro-Biafra group, Indigenous People of Biafra in the state, Stanley Mgbere.

Wike accused Mgbere of “leading members of the banned IPOB to cause the recent violence and destruction of lives and property in Oyigbo Local Government Area (of the state).”

Stop taking too much Koko & gbegiri, see the way it makes you think.

gidgiddy:
So how long do you think a country will keep getting to a precipice without collapsing one day? Such country is one living on borrowed time. A country that will last is one that rarely gets to any precipice.

If the Federal Government has not had the wherewithal to defeat Boko haram in 10 years, what magic will it do if either Oduduwa Republic or Biafra rise up tomorrow?

I laugh in Chinese

gidgiddy:
I dont think you understand. A house built on poor foundation will eventually collapse, not because anybody wishes, or does not wish for it to collapse. It will collapse because it has no foundation

People like Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are just tenants of the house who are warning their people living in the house to go for another accommodation before the inevitable happens
