Comparing Nigeria's public transport system to that of the UK, without accounting for the major differences in infrastructure and security, is flawed🫠 In the UK, every station, bus, and train is equipped with CCTV cameras, ensuring a basic level of safety...can’t say the same for Nigeria. A lady was literally rapped and killed on a brt bus and I don’t know if she ever got justice till date. For someone like me, seeing these stories daily on the TL, I’m always paranoid about public transports now. Even UBER. In the event of an accident in UK, emergency response teams are reliably on the scene within minutes. You can’t say the same for Nigeria where tragic incidents regularly occur, many of which could have been avoided entirely in a country with functioning systems btw 🤷🏽‍♀️. You claim that “japa” people don't want to adapt to the lifestyle but they “manage” abroad….How often do power outages occur in the UK? Rarely, if ever. Most people here don’t even own power banks because electricity is dependable. Yet, you expect them to accept frequent power outages and resort to “candlelight” or “lanterns” as if this is normal. Regarding food expenses, it's worth noting that the cost of basic food items in Nigeria has skyrocketed. Even cooking at home has become comparable in price to dining out. The idea that people should simply "manage" is invalidating the harsh economic realities many are facing. Lastly, it's troubling how comfort (something as basic as uninterrupted power, efficient public transport, or affordable food) is often framed as a luxury in Nigeria, rather than a standard that citizens should demand. In many countries, these are considered the bare minimum for a functioning society.
