Two days ago on my way back from Macau, I found myself at Guangzhou South Railway Station. Before then, I had been there a few times before but neither really stopped for a second to appreciate the beauty of the place nor stood to marvel at the architectural masterpiece and the sheer ingenuity of the people who brought such a building into existence. So, there I was with two hours to idle around before my train departed for Hunan ( a province in China), and armed with my camera in hand I decided to stroll around to take pictures. As I walked around one question kept coming to my mind. Why don't we have something like this in Nigeria? We have the money. We have the brains who can design such and probably better structures. We have an abundance of skilled and semi - skilled manpower. God's blessed us with abundant natural resources sufficient enough to make Nigeria an envy among nations. Yet with all what our nation's been endowed with it still sits among nations that lack very basic amenities and infrastructures. My people, which way forward?

Here, we are decades behind.

they transformed from a very poor nation to what the are now, Nigeria has a lot to learn from them

until we get drastic punishment for public office holders that steal just like China, we won't develop

Spending 10months in China, I've noticed that their growth and development was achieved by determination. Back to their history, all what China has turned into now all happened between 24years. Good and determined leadership. They still have little problems but when I look at them, I discover Nigeria can be like this but Why not?? What's stopping us? It's owes to poor leadership.. It's painful that we have leaders who only care about their pockets.. I hope Nigerians would drop their thinking and come out to see we have lots to achieve if only we'd stop these leaders treating us like Pigs.. A Chinese once ask me "how many Universities are in Nigeria??" The question touched me cos I know he felt we were nothi ng then he said 10??
I told him we had over 100 then he said Why come to China, I said I wanted to get More.. but then deep down I know what made me left..
Seeing their Transportation Network, Nigerians deserve More, Nigerians Deserve More.. Imagine a government that can't even provide security.. Sincerely it might take Decades before things would change positively.. I just wish these Old and Selfish leaders would be scrapped..

Beautiful but guy visit tianjin train station that even big
beautiful more than most airport for Africa,I for lost the day I went there

Some of their Bus stations and Train stations looks like an Airport when no be sey we no get the Money.

see what all these China products we so make fun of is doing for them... Raking in revenue big time to make such masterpieces possible.

abunfance of corrution, lack of good management, crisis, siphoning of funds by govt officials, and even lack of maintenance culture. With all these, u r expecting a thing like dat herew in 9ja?

Hi Chukxie
Its Philip

I actually used that station last week when I was on a business trip to GZ.
It was a sight to behold. Good to know you are back from Macao.
