To the stoopid Nigerians comparing Nigeria with other saner climes. I saw some really devastating comments under the news yesterday where Serbian PM was demanded by the opposition MPs to resign for causing the death of about 15 Serbians.

The news reported that a public facility poorly constructed had collapsed and had lead to the death of this 15 Serbians.

Consequently , the opposition party stormed the Serbian national senate using grenades of different colours to disrupt the activities of the senators.

And some dull heads started whining by insinuating and taunting Serbian nation undermining the patriotic act of the opposition and indirectly describing their reaction as an ill rather than an exercise of democratic rights.

And I angrily wrote my response in the form of comment stating how such Nigerians can be so dangerous to co exist with normal thinking Nigerians. And I stated in that response examples of cases where Nigerians in their thousands loose their lives as a result of public corruption.

And how the opposition parties in Nigeria would not show up to challenge these excesses.

Why making stoopid comparison to score stopid cheap points?

Let’s see what the Nigerian opposition parties would do in the extant sad situation ?

I have come to realize that what keeps the country Nigeria backwards is not the government; it’s the active presence of these set of stoopid Nigerians we have in our mist.

And sadly enough, some of these stoopid Nigerians often claim they are educated and hold degrees in human and society related courses such as Sociology, Psychology, economics and more.

Yet they demonstrate behaviour wreaks of valueless systems in the society rather than showing behaviour that brings about innovation and positive change in the society.

Their stupidity emboldens and always encourages terrible and corrupt practices in the country. They are often notable for arguing along the line of ethnic conflict, religion conflict and materialistic interactions. This is because they are so empty internally. And unfortunately, we have more of their population than the normal Nigerians.

If what was reported from Lagos Nigeria had happened as usually in a saner clime like the US, even in some African countries, immediately relevant persons , entities , oppositions and organisations would have started calling out the relevant leaders directly responsible for the lost lives.

Their calling out is usually not the flimsy type. Is either they demand just like what happened in Serbia , that the PM should resign , or they demand something of value to not only remedy the current crisis but prevent such occurrence from happening to their citizens in the near future.

That’s what’s called a working system.

But what do we get in Nigeria. It’s one random social media individual that saw the situation and posted the horrible news to the knowledge of relevant authorities. And from the response of those authorities that were tagged , does it appear like these authorities have a clue as to what needs to be done to salvage the sad situation ?

The answer is a capital no.

All these sum up to the fact that Nigeria remains a shit hole and the country is not giving up that status anytime soon if these insane persons in Nigeria are not reducing drastically in their numbers.

Hope you're aware that any building that collapses within Lagos automatically turns to Tinubu's property

Someone's money in the trash...God ...with cement at N9000+

When demolition start you'll be the first to cry out. "They're destroying our properties!".

The owner of that building and the building engineer I pity oh.

To destroy always de hungry una, but to build, una no fit. If you knew what it takes to build a house or a business, you will always be reluctant to mention "demolition". And If proper monitoring and inspections from foundation level and upwards, were done, cases like this would rarely occur. But no, they won't do that. They are only after ripping people off their hard earned money, in the name of all kinds of fees. Btw, I am not only referring to your beloved Lagos State.

Hiring the best engineers saves in the long run.

The same shitty building would have gone for 500m per unit after construction. Those behind it should be jailed.

.That's because other climes ENFORCE guidelines regarding certain types of buildings in certain areas.

Why would anyone think building something like this in a water- logged area like Lekki and probably without proper foundation will stand a test of time?

Glad tenants didn't move in yet before the collapse. It would have been a really painful news to everyone, probably a tragedy

Tall buildings just aren't built in certain areas without proper expertise and planning.

chinese say tofu projects....

wait wait....were the people trapped workers or civilians....

But, but, but they charged such a high rent
