Before you post things, it’s important to do your research. How much assistance did Japan receive to help turn its economy around after World War II? I’m not disputing that we can do better, but context matters.
After colonialism, how much economic aid did African countries receive? Also, Singapore is only about 63% the size of Lagos State. Do you really think it’s comparable to Nigeria?
I know Japan’s postwar recovery was also driven by domestic reforms, industrial policy, education, and several other factors. I can confidently say that many of these countries would still struggle if they were located in Africa. The global economic order largely views African nations as peripheral economies, and breaking out of that position is extremely difficult.
That said, if Africa had better leadership, we would certainly be in a much better position than we are today.

Singapore has no minerals. Japan was bombed to rubble in 1945. Vietnam was at war for decades. All three built cities with parks, public squares, functional public transport, and green urban spaces that serve their people.
Walk through Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, Douala, or Kinshasa and find somewhere to sit that is not a shop, a bar, or a church. You will not find it.
These cities sit inside some of the most fertile, green, tropical land on earth. And somehow every trace of it was designed out of the urban experience. No parks. No shade. No public squares. Nowhere a person can simply exist without spending money.
The geopolitics argument runs out when you look at who recovered from worse and built better. We are collectively and embarrassingly disorganized and we need to start saying that out loud.
Change does not start with governments. It starts with enough people refusing to accept this as normal. Share this if you agree. Talk about it. Demand better from your city.
@iamnasboi Did you post fake news or not ? Get away with your nonsense fake unity activist. If Nigeria truly works, you will be in prison for spreading false information that promote unrest.
Everything listed here is not a defining characteristic. You can be rich, funny, and kind, yet still be a terrible husband. Maybe the problem is him, not the other gender.
Just chatted with a guy who has 2 kids, a loving wife, pulls in $350k before bonus, runs 6 miles every morning, owns a 4-bedroom in the West Village, just bought a boat, and is genuinely funny and kind and he still can't find a girlfriend.
Modern dating is so broken.
@AnyanwuMalachy A lot of you will blame the security man, but the lady in question is a terrible person. A security man not an errand man, her tip doesn’t justify her entitlement. She’s expecting the security man to pay for her drink because she’s been giving him tips ?
As senseless as the kidnappers in Nigeria are,would they kidnap the son of the president? That's when you will know Nigeria has forces.

Just keep your opinions to yourself and allow people to express gratitude in whatever way they choose. Kids thanking their parents after eating should never warrant criticism. Some of you always seem to think you know a better way to raise someone else’s children. Whatever happens in your house should stay, nobody cares about how your father raised you.

The first shock of my life as a Nigerian while growing up was when I went to some of my friends’ houses and I discovered that they used to thank their parents after eating.
Artiste a drops an album and finds a way to sell directly to his fans.

Until we can get here? We are just wasting our time and resources.
@Jesseburlz@Pius_imue@n6oflife6 Check my timeline and show me where I support APC. Besides if I support APC, what’s your father and mother going to do about it ?
