Is this d reason why most people abroad think we live on trees?



This Makoko on the edge of the port city of Lagos much of it rests on structures constructed on stilts above Lagos Lagoon. Residents travel through the neighborhood by canoe, boat or over a few wooden bridges and walkways. Small children as young as 6years can be seen rowing through the canals to and from home. The area was established in the 18th century as a fishing village.
Do u think we can’t get world swimmers from ds village, if only d local governments of each state can have a training camp yearly to discover d talents of ds dwellers (inborn swimmers due 2 d nature of their environment), nurture them & equip them to challenge d international world swimming competition. Don’t u think d youths will wake up & see d beauty around them? That despite their circumstances something good can evolve from it? How long are the leaders going to play with d nation’s emotions? Send us ur comments.

The government are nothing but bunch of deceit,how can nigeria with its abundant human and natural resources still spends N635.5bn annually on importation of agricultural products,the CIA World Factbook, 30% of Nigeria's economy is agricultural, but it employs 70% of the labor force.
Everywhere in Nigeria is resourceful but they've refused to make any good thing out of them only focusing on oil bc they are all befitting from them

As lawyer by professional,the top leaders need to change attitude towards its citizen bc if they truly know about what democracy is all about, whatever decisions they come up with should suit the citizens.They voted for them to serve the nation and not themselves,they are here to serve us,if basic amenities are in place poverty will be reduced that corruption will gradually fade away.

I agree with mrs Oluwafeyidamilola,its a shame,people have come to a conclusion that the government seat is cursed. We need the true christain leaders to pray this curse away.

I am a husband, a father, i pay my children's fees, pay my tax, provide my own security,buy fuel for my generator to have electricity. In PH for months we have not seen power,on daily basis i spend so much on diesel.Let me ask what is the government doing for me as a citizen? absolutely nothing, what we need is anarchy in this country, and i tell you what,if the government reomove fuel subsidy this anarchy wil take place,for that reason i say they shld remove the fuel subsidy,so that at a point this leaders will be killed by their on guards. How can we have such a slump in this day and age,why wont there be all sort of social vices,we are not even thinking of people dying of malaria from such an environment.My prayer every day is that let me outlive this wicked government that think only of themselves.....if u care to join in such prayer UWC.
