Made up

It's not ooo

I had a former madam who used to think same

I kid you not, as ridiculous as it sounds

Confirm

Kingosytex:
The streets are like that because the residents want it to be like that
Just take for instance, here on Nairaland some fools are paid a token to spew all sorts of lie and defend the indefensible, there are so many brain dead people around who are comfortable with maintaining the status quo.
I gave an example with Qatar some time ago and some ignorant folks started spewing trash of how Qatar isn't as populated as Nigeria. Is the problem really population? These looters you all call leaders will squander the resources of Qatar in a twinkle of an eye; it's not about population.

Backpedal:


Facts

Dumb actually. Go back to history.

Raydos:
This is what New York look like in the 1870s

And it's pretty sad that most Nigeria street don't look as organized as this even after 153 years apart!

Would you agree with me that large populations of Nigerians are dirty and arrogant! They don’t know what it means to keep clean and beautify the environment that they live in, imagine in some areas in Lagos they connect their toilet drain directly to gutters how do you expect the environment to smell nice? Even if government at all level decided to tie road and put infrastructure in place some citizens will destroy it because they feel it’s government’s property not theirs, this mentality need to change

Raydos:
Why are we not building cities? Even most part of Lagos and Abuja still look like crap!!

Nigeria has the highest population of black people in the world, It's literally the home of black people!!

And it's saddening that it look like this in 24th century?

What have you done as a person in your small corner to better this?

yemmit90:


May God bless you abundantly sir.

Our self centered and egocentric culture/tradition will never make us progress. A typical black man care not about his fellow man or society but himself alone. He is so wicked, materialistic and lack foresight. He only want to be above everyone, he only want to be worship by others, he would rather deprived his fellow men their privilege at home and takes all the fortunes to somewhere else to enjoy alone.

Like you have rightly said, civilization was probably forced on us because it amaze me how you will loot all resources meant for development of your home or your people and take it to another man's land to enjoy alone with your immediate family.

Till tomorrow and tomorrow's tomorrow what you have written bolded still dey baffle me.

ZombiePUNISHER:
It's like that because the fools who voted Buhari and ed him for eight years, called him a failure today

Have all lined up again to Tinubu
the very one that brought Buhari...


Talk about going round in circles..

story of the shithole...

Some people are just ridiculously stupid. They think they can bad leaders and escape poverty. If the country is not developing they will be back to the poverty before they know it.

Let LGA be properly empowered and we will see changes.. they're people we see and sit with everyday so we know to hold them able and responsible. We know their parent and their family houses and not a governor whose family house is built in the GRA and the least member of the family, lives abroad.
The LGA allocation should be directly giving to LGAs...

Raydos:
I'm starting to believe recently that we actually do have a low IQ!

We need a IQ test, Anyone whose IQ is below 100 should not be allowed close to governance!!

We can't be living like this in this modern day

Please tell us about what exactly you have contributed to your street alone with your high IQ.

Raydos:
I've been to 15 states in Nigeria my whole life, and one thing I always notice is, Untarred roads, Lack of drainage system, Lack of proper planning e.t.c

Which always make me curious, Why does everywhere in Nigeria look like it got hit by a nuclear bomb? Why? Why don't we have modern streets and cities!!

Since the inception of Nigeria, I Don't think we have built any city, And please don't even mention Banana island, It's a piece of crap!!

It's sad that only about 3% of Nigeria is actually developed and the other 97% is just straight up piece of trash!!

How can a people be so backward. We need to be having conversations like these everyday.

They are some parts of Benin that the streets are tarred with gates sef. They try.

The reason is very complicated.

I'm not trying to bring tribalism into this discussion because, i have so many Yoruba as friends and colleague in the office but why do average Yoruba woman doing business like to always block the road with her market or goods even when the store is empty inside. Must they always cross the drainage to sprayed their market.

God bless you. This is the best comment so far. Not those whites wannabes who knows absolutely nothing claiming imaginary IQ.

Ask Tinubu & buhari

You wan plan where government have no plans for?

An average African is not good as leader especially when it comes to managing people and resources. In my opinion,this backwardness is spiritual. There's the God factor in all these

Owerri looks different though. Kudos to Okorocha for demolishing road side shops, expanding roads and stopping Rickshaws from plying within the city .

IT IS NOT ABOUT NIGERIA, IT IS MORE ABOUT BLACK RACE! GO TO ANY BLACK DOMINATED PLACES IN AUSTRALIA, AMERICAS, ASIA AND EUROPE, YOU WILL THINK YOU ARE IN AFRICA; VERY BACKWARDS!

You are just seeking attention, you want Nigeria, an African to turn into a 1st world country by your wish? Even majority of American states are under developed forests. So what exactly are you pointing at? Being the largest African country? Doesn’t that point to more struggle for survival? Or you want Nigeria to live up to the social media hype over night.

oweniwe:


Bro go price interlocking stones first.

The price they will give you will make you run away

Nigeria cannot innovate and produce cheaper interlocking stones? This is part of the lazy thinking overdependence on oil and politics money causes. Development will never happen if this continues

Raydos:

Can we know the exact area in Newyork ure comparing the Nigerian streets pics to.?

It is the Representatives and the senators that are cornering constituency project money .. This is the fund meant for street and roads development ..Very soon the masses shall descend upon them

Aren’t you are Nigerian? Can we know what you have innovated?

And you believe you summation is correct? You must be unfair to history.

LOVEALAIGBO:


I get what you're saying, but the issue is a bit more nuanced than you put it! There's a lot to consider like slavery, colonialism, neo-colonialism, and the psychological damage that comes along with all this! But black Africans haven't helped themselves.....as we see being played out presently in Nigeria!

There is serious psychological damage because how can anyone explain how some people are ing failed leaders

It’s one of the hallmarks of underdevelopment. Majority of the populace are in the informal sector hence, most of the streets will look this way. It is also worthy of note that majority of countries with large economies, but underdeveloped eg, Nigeria will look like this whilst the opposite will be the case in countries that have small economies but developed e.g Sweden

They will now build one useless road or airport and call it development 🤣🤣🤣

Yes I agree ure arrogant and dirty. Don’t forget you said most Nigerians and I know you’re a Nigerian.
Dirty fellow!

I'm well-known for my innovations sir. That's all I can say.
