Let me share my experience since I moved to America. Over here, every tier of government—local, state, and federal—has its own responsibilities and functions independently. This system makes development reach the grassroots effortlessly. But back home in Nigeria, everything is tied to either the state or federal government, leaving local councils powerless and ineffective. No wonder governors and politicians are more powerful than institutions like EFCC and IC.

Take Chicago, for example. The local government here handles its own revenue collection, builds and maintains roads, runs hospitals, and creates a business-friendly environment that generates jobs. You’ll never see the governor of Illinois coming to Chicago to inaugurate a local road or hospital project because each level of government knows its role and delivers without interference. Even law enforcement is decentralized—Chicago has its own police department, and Cook County (similar to our local councils in Nigeria) has its own sheriff’s department. Crime is tackled effectively because responsibilities are clear.

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, soldiers patrol highways harassing civilians, while the police are either underfunded or compromised. Here, soldiers don’t even engage in civil matters—in fact, they respect the police more than the other way around. The system works because ability is enforced. Break a traffic rule? Your license gets suspended. Do it again? You might never drive again. And if driving is your livelihood, well, you better find another job. The law doesn’t play favorites.

Back in Warri, I a church buying two acres of land just to build a massive auditorium while 99% of the community had no functional companies to provide jobs. Graduates end up driving keke or doing POS business because there are no real opportunities. Yet, when a governor builds a single road, people start shouting, "Our governor is working!" My brother, is it road we will eat?

Our politicians are wicked—plain and simple. They travel abroad, see how things work, and yet refuse to implement the same systems back home. Instead, they keep us divided with politics, religion, and tribalism while looting everything in sight. Meanwhile, we spend our time on social media complaining instead of taking action. We’re too sentimental, too forgiving, and too quick to celebrate mediocrity.

In 2025, Nigeria is still struggling with basic electricity, good roads, and functioning hospitals while the rest of the world is advancing in AI and technology. When will we wake up? When will we demand real ability? These politicians are destroying the future of the next generation, and if we don’t act now, things will only get worse.

It’s time to stop the noise and start holding people able. The system over here isn’t perfect, but at least it works because the laws are enforced. When will Nigeria learn?

Pls you can bundle that usseeleess hellanus into your luggage so he can go experience how normal humans live... maybe it will reset his cement ,blocked brain .

EvilMerodack:

I'm more concerned about the comment section

Nigerians actually think saying shit about their own country makes them look enlightened. No, it doesn't!

If anything, a quick research into Science of Patriotism would show you people with negative energy towards their country tend to fail in their endeavors (there are research journals on this online)

You'll never see Dangote or Adenuga cursing their country.


That clown pulled out one random video and tagged it "Advanced Countries" .

If you have witnessed terrorist attack before you will not be talking like this.

Try to watch 9/11 Osama Bin Laden attack on Netflix.

There shouldn't be any humanity when it comes to terrorism.

The name of the three episodes series is "American man hunt"..

RealSolution001:
I was shaving my new girlfriend's private part yesterday when I was thrown off balance with about 3 strands of gray hair on her private part.

I'm 30+ and does not have gray hair on my manhood region but she claims to be 27 but has gray hairs on her womanhood.

Could this mean she is older and claimed fake age?

Obiri na aji ocha

Bobloco:


Alright, he was merely redirected

Merely redirected by lastma officials..he entered one way.

vicetuh:
same way I am confused when you mentioned Tinubu as the best despite all negative impact as a result of his wrong policies, if not tribalism that has blinded some of you guys , you would have noticed that tinubu istration has put more people in poverty than all the istration in the past combined. Again you mentioned some organization that gave tinubu award for his time as governor but fail to acknowledge the fact that Peter obi too was recognized by some world organization for his excellent job as governor too. My friend a quick reminder, I am not an igbo guy but a topical igala man from ofu local government.

Why waste ur beautiful English trying to lecture idiots who knows the truth but choose to be foolishn

Any serious person will fix power, insecurities..all of them are not ready..just wasting peoples lives and time for 8 years..this one no fix power,e no fix insecurities like him predecessors,him add hardship and hunger

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
When you all started cheating on good men, taking nice guys for granted and feeling entitled to perks of chivalry, men adjusted.

When you all started going naked on reels and TikTok live, exposing the sacred grove of womanhood to all who cared to see, you lost your specialness.

Go to any gym today and see women in pants and bra in public.

Go to any club and see them disgracing their fathers and ancestors.

With all the rituals and kidnap stories flying around, you ladies are still doing whocup and sleepovers with random strangers.

The moment you became shameless with a touch of foolishness, men simply stopped worshipping a disgraced god.

Last but not the least, the redpill happened.

Deal with it babygyal

a master piece

ShenTeh:
True.

While I really don't fancy an Atiku leadership, OBJ remains the best president we've had, barring the short stint of YarAdua. Nigeria would have been better off today with an OBJ leadership.

His own people were the most critical of him and have not been able to replace him, unfortunately.

Till now I don't understand why his people don't like him...even though naija leaders are below par in of leadership..I think he did better than others

Outdated,painted as usual

Love800:
Normally, that is how people in the UK dress. A country with good standard of living does not dress to impress, because everyone is equal there.
Have you seen the jeans tro these UK peeps usually wear? Very simple and unfashioned fabric. Even their fones, some are out of fashion grades and types. Social amenities and facilities are working there, so who you wan impress again!

Its their celebrities that mostly dress all those big shirts, big tros and big shoes and chains all over their necks. This is not for the citizens.

That swagless boy you are seeing there is quietly eating your tax-payers and country resource money. Lol!

this boy just dey swagless

The werey go steal that beautiful short bread biscuits
