That white elephant town which produces nothing called Abuja shows the foolishness of the Nigerian society and the fact that it was orchestrated by one dumb military president whom his country had just experienced massive oil boom and instead of investing in the masses to improve quality of life and at least diversify development in almost all the states buh he rather creates a needless elitist empire with billions of allocation in the middle of nowhere,give them all the infrastructure and deprive the rest of the nation of over 200 million people of basic amenities.Do you know that less than 60% of Nigerians are literates with over 70 million illiterates.Electricity access rate is less than 60 % with over 70 million Nigerians not having access to electricity and even with those who claim to have it even in their urban Lagos and others can barely get 12 hours of electricity a day and about extreme poverty,I guess there is no introduction.Over 90 million extremely poor Nigerians which is the highest worldwide.Health access and affordability is still rocket science,in fact the problems are extremely abundance.Unemployment and insecurity is among the worst worldwide.Even Ghana that is a metropolitan nation designed according to England's system has more diversified cities more than Nigeria.Everyone is going to Lagos which is sad.

theenchanter:
i'm done with Abuja dilly dally.... u can continue with Sam or Jay. U can even check list of beautiful n most developed cities in africa at ur leisure time, be thankful if Accra is mentioned too.

theenchanter:
is English ur problem? Should I convert my post to twi or ga to u, Which do u prefer?

I said u should show me that ur $3.8b is the second largest in africa.

theenchanter:
[b]which "petrified impression opinion" [/b]I'm I giving? That Abuja will sweep every west african city off their feet in terms of beauty n development?

Was that a wrong impression?

theenchanter:
i should be d one asking u not to spill scatological jargons from ur buccal cavity.

Where's ur own evidence that ghana's $3.8b is the second largest diaspora remittance in africa n I'll show u how stupid u are.

theenchanter:
but that's still very far from what Egyptians in diaspora remitted to Egypt last year at about $20b.

U see ur life?

theenchanter:
see this living fossil again. it's a Sunday morning n I don't wanna pollute my new week with ur ignorance jor.

theenchanter:
lol, i find this post funny n filled with ignorant.

Abuja will sweep every african city of their feet in terms of beauty and development. Ur post is full of trash but I won't stoop to that level.

Abuja is located at the exact middle of Nigeria, it was deliberately carved out n planned from scratch, it has natural endowment like every other states in middlebelt and all those emboldened are there.

the guy is an idiota.And they believe Ghana is all about Accra due to our Metropolitan system just like England and London.We have 5 metropolis cities and 10 regions.Accra is not even the biggest city in Ghana,it's not the most populous city,it has no harbor,it's not the commercial city and there's a whole metropolitan city in which is Tema with about 25 communities built purposely for industries with over half of thousands of them and more factories built yearly and has
one of the busiest ports and harbor in Africa and is undergoing massive expansion and will soon be the largest and most busiest in West Africa after it's completion.It operates on a paperless computerized system and goods cleared maximum 48 hours alongside the first harbor in Ghana which is in Sekondi Takoradi metropolitan city known as the twin cities wand also oil and gas city with a massive port and harbor facility.In fact,Ghana is the most developed and progressive nation in West Africa that continues giving West Africa a good reputation since West Africa is identified as highly unsecure and a warzone crime infested region largely thanks to dragging and unprogressive countries which is Nigeria,Mali,Niger and others.

chrisagyei:
idiot,Do you know Africa's size and level of development to be comparing that failed country as the best in Africa.Even South Africa and Egypt who are far developed than your shithole don't make such claims.Does your glorified village called Lagos even have roads at all.90 % of your roads are untarred and in deplorable states and that picture you posted have only ten lanes under the bridge where it expands buh after the bridge,it contracts to six lanes and that's your highest in a city of 25 million.No wonder all your roads are choked with traffics lasting for 8 hours without marginal movements and all your ports are choked with worse conditions at both your airports and sea ports.You can't even build simple infrastructure for your stupid over populated glorified villages.Why don't you count that number of lanes and tell me if it's six or ten lanes in a city of 3 million compared to your 25 million choked village towns and whilst you are at it,mind posting me photos of roads in your Minna Niger village

AskiaHarem:
Because Ghanaians don't have much of there own interest and will be a lot easier to be influenced and controlled compared to Nigerians who are one of the few proud African groups who have far bigger dreams for themselves and choose to chart there own destiny becoming a great power in there own right rather than become a obedient banana republic for the west and other powers like MOST African countries unfortunately.

tylann:
That is true eko Atlantic and the co.
Are meant for the rich
Such investments could have gone to industrial parks instead of cities

chrisagyei:
Those extra ministries he created do not have a single ministry building or office buh they all use the flagstaff house which is the presidential palace as their office alongside the president all sharing the same office building and they also do not have their own budget buh rather share the office of the president budget together with the vice president.And in Ghana,the president is not provided with a house of residence buh they rather use their own house same for all the ministers all residing in their own houses.The presidents decline the one at the flagstaff house which is always empty and not furnished.The ministries he created have no special or extra employees buh use the presidential staffers thus the higher number of staffers at the presidential palace.In Ghana,a minister is paid 15,000 cedis which is about 3,000 dollars a month and a deputy minister is paid 12,000 cedis.The current cry is by the opposition who have a mandate and agenda to cry against most seemingly unpopular government decisions which is needed in a democratic settings.Besides the extra ministries he created work in very specialized fields such as sanitation minister,procurement minister,inner city and zongo development minister,planning and evaluation minister and others which may not be captured by the traditional ministers and these new ministers all work at the presidential palace.

That minimum wage is too low
Buhari has yet to sign the new one into effect
People see politics as an easy way to become rich

chrisagyei:
that's crazy figures you are quoting over there,no wonder that country is cursed with over 90 million extremely poor people .That 25 million naira is a monthly salary of a common house of representative or whatever in Nigeria and there are 360 of them.Crazy.And a senetor in Nigeria receives 36 million naira a month.The president of Ghana receives a salary of 29,000 Ghana cedis monthly which is 5,700 dollars and 2 million naira in Nigerian currency.We have parliamentarians and there are 275 in total and each receives 12,000 Ghana cedis which is about 2,500 dollars monthly.Even with the president salary he donated 25,000 out of the 29,000 cedis to young entrepreneursthis year.

tylann:
.maybe that is why Nigeria borrow to pay salaries that is alot of money for real just for salaries what about the allowances

tylann:
.

The thing is will the senators accept in Africa the system is about patronage and cronyism
Although kenya politicians take huge salaries also
This nigeria one is too much

tylann:
That is how oil money behaves it creates wealth for the few wealth elites and the rest are left on the fringes in squalor conditions even Angola suffers the same way

tylann:
Yes oil makes countries lazy you just sell the oil you get your billion dollars hence the Dutch disease
Nigeria misused it is oil
Nigeria needs to adopt the China model to develop

tylann:
Ghana is rich in mineral resources when use it very well it will boom your economy
The main mineral exported by kenya is soda ash which is not that lucrative
Kenya has also discovered oil but it is very minimal

Oil resources are good when they are put into good use e.g the uae , canada , norway have their oil resources into good use
But countries like Venezuela ,Nigeria Russia Angola etc have misused they oil resources

They say oil make countries lazy

tylann:
The events in sudan are challenging

Tea is the main cash cow for kenya
What is the main cash cow for Ghana

tylann:
Kenya exports tea to Sudan
And of course kenya airways which plies Nairobi to Khartoum daily
This has been affected because Sudan has closed it is airspace

tylann:
We have anti corruption agency but is not that strong it is called EACC
But our President has trusted our crime investigation department to fight corruption

tylann:
.
Yes we look at African countries
That are on the part of achieving all developed parameters
Countries like Botswana Mauritius Namibia Ghana etc are on the that path
The problem with kenya is corruption

tylann:
But i think Mauritius or Botswana will be Africa first developed countries
