Not surprised, nowhere in the country is liveable. Can we know how Abuja fared?

190*:
I agree with dis post

Lagos is some smelly city 2 live
And even d people who live in it, d lagosians have this smell
dey carry about when dey talk,touch or even walk past you

D drainages are terrible, d air isn't breath-able, d smell
Heat, fumes, people everywhere like roaches

Lord av mercy and yet u hear some people sayin Lagos is d ish
Smh# I prefer my village with no lite 2 lagos with 247 lite

Eko nor be only one stup1d baje

hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha. Guy! You don finish them. This is the end of lagos,infact am reporting you to fashola. Hahahaah

They stay and analyse nonsense, how can our centre of excellence be among the top worst city to live in the world! Arrant nonsense. Those people must be high on cheap drug. Whatever basis they used to judge, they are absolutely wrong!

umumbo in anambra state beter pas lagos

TRUE LAGOS NO CLEAN AGAIN ON LIKE HOW IT WAS IN 80'S. MR. FASH AND LAGOSIANS HAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

Let us Pray!!!

I think I agree, most buildings in lagos look as if they are covered in soot,maybe because of the lagoon, the humidity is high thereby constant sweating and discomfort, the infrastructures are not to good, if u have stayed in hotels outside lagos then u will know that hotels in lagos are messed up, cities like akure, owerri,abuja, enugu, ph,maidugiri, kaduna and minna have better 1-3 star hotels than lagos. For the fact that newyork is not in top 10 shows they might be right, I have not been to any of the top ten but I have heard people talk about some of them especially sydney.

So much for 'Eko o ni baje'

afam4eva: I think some years back Lagos did a little bit better. That means that Fashola has not been paying attention to the most important variables.

A similar report was carried out by the same group in 2010 and Lagos did fairly better https://www.nairaland.com/397594/lagos-rated-fifth-worst-city

i get into big quarel wit my dad whenever i try to point out the lapses in Fashola's Administration in Lagos. He's obsessed with his overated performance. But the truth is... He has not done enough in the INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE. When asked what are his achievement, he's always quick to Mention Trasportation (BRT). Lagosians deserve better than that. Ikorodu resident have a testimony to share on the issue of roads and drainage.

gradually lagos will be there.

Sam Milla:

Apparently, you have never traveled outside Africa.

So Lagos is now the only city in Africa? If you have nothing to say leave the space for better responses.

I agree. Lagos is a terrible place to visit not to talk about living there.

Who doesn't know.
All one need do is compare Lagos streets pics with those of even places like Equatorial Guinea.
A friend once said if he were to describe Lagos with one word, it 'll be chaos


Is it not why we (they) say: if you have lived in Lagos, then you can live anywhere in the world.

Smart jeezy:
i think u reside in ajegunle?come to my house in ikoyi and see things.

You mentioned your home which is a tiny speck in the map of lagos..
In order to get to your mansion in Ikoyi, one will have to drive thru the dirty
street of Oshodi, Ilupeju, yaba, mushin etc, pass through bad roads while
viewing agbero beat the living daylights out of some bus drivers and conductors (Thanks to Fashola for putting an end)
then pray that the rains will not come so as not to uproot the dirty pure water sachets
in the drainage etc...
But the time one gets to your mansion, I already have a lasting impression of DIRTY LAGOS

...

Yet nobody wants to leave Lagos.

E be like say this Oyinbo People dey craze for head sef. Weting concern them with weather, i tell them make dey no get agbero for their country.Anyway " MONKEY NO FINE BUT IM MAMA LIKE AM" I go still manage am like dat. Visa dey no give passport dey no issue and dem dey condemn one place somebody should warn them oo.

I will not doubt this report..Lagos indeed is horrible why I personally left that city.. Can't cope with the hustling and bursting, traffic and NURTWs threats and all.. Some part of island is relatively good, go to mainland especially ikotun and iyanaipaja axis,u llunderstand that hell exists on earth....

stillme: Yet nobody wants to leave Lagos.

that's what we are saying how madman go leave garbage area. Where en go go?

I rep lasgidi the hottest city in naija
for only the strong

OLORIBURUKU NI WON! This oyinbo people with racism sef

This isn't true because cities like Monrovia, Liberia, and other war-torn of former war-torn cities around Africa and some other parts of the world are worse.

yemstok: OLORIBURUKU NI WON! This oyinbo people with racism sef

No.

nija80: The assessment is not been fair if cities like karachi,libya, pakistan Algeria are rated above lag then its not being fair

Libya, Pakistan and Algeria are not cities. Just saying.

Ournaija: How many cities in Nigeria are recognized internationally?

And so? How many cities in the U.S. are recognized? However, the ones that are recognized based upon their economic input/output, those are the ones that needs to be known. This is not the first I've read about Lagos being a dirty/worse cities to live in... People who can't live with the truth, I guess they should take a hike.

Dem D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ mad,US/UK no get ghetto?
