Radio presenter Sizwe Dhlomo sparked a conversation about Nigeria’s infrastructure following a viral tweet about Burna Boy’s car being refueled.

A Twitter user posed a question to Sizwe, asking, “You’ve lived in Nigeria. Don’t they have petrol stations? For a country that produces oil.”

In his response, Sizwe compared Nigeria’s approach to infrastructure development to South African leadership under Cyril Ramaphosa.

He wrote, “They do, but Nigeria is much like how Cyril thinks. They rush to propose and build extravagant things, such as smart cities or luxury dealerships, when their roads and basic infrastructure are horrendous.”

They do but Nigeria is much like how Cyril thinks. They rush to propose & build extravagant things, such as smart cities for example or luxury dealerships, when their roads & basic infrastructure are horrendous. https://t.co/35q1IJAxZt
