Afam4eva:
Lagos is the businest and the most bubbly city in Nigeria and a lot of people like it for that. But that does not take away the fact that Lagos is unlivable. But people will keep living there because there are no alternatives. Though Abuja and PH kinda comes a little bit close but PH is equally a slum too. I wish we could have a city with the busy life of Lagos as clean as Calabar, Enugu or Abuja.

Mr. Globe:
is it a lie? Let our SW brothers keep overating Lagos - The world's biggest slum. If we say it, they call us tribalists, wonder what they will call Christina. The people that love living a lie.

berem: Eko oni baje o!

gregg2:

Keep deceiving yourself with that 419 slogan.

Afam4eva: Even though we can agree that Fashola has done his bit to make Lagos a little more liveable but that does not take away the fact that most parts of Lagos and full of ghettos and slums. It's not only those major roads in high brow areas in lagos that are Lagos. Go into the streets that connect these roads and see the real Lagos. I wonder why we keep lying to ourselves.

jmaine:

Yes she did say it, but it was after the interview session with Mr President . . . .

Aderostock:
She didn't say anything pertaining to Lagos. People can form anything oooo

veraponpo: WE ALREADY KNOW ALL THESE, HENCE THE REASON FOR GOV FASH'S EFFORT OF CLARING OKADA, REBUILDING THE STREET, STOPPING ROADSIDE SELLING, CLARING THE CARS ON THE ROAD, STOPPING HAWKING ON THE ROAD, ETC BUT SAME PEOPLE HERE TALKING WOULD ALWAYS SAY THE GOV IS WRONG.

THANK GOD LAGOS IS THE 3RD UNLIVEABLE CITY, SOME CITIES ARE NOT EVEN IN WORLD MAP SORRY, VILLAGES. WE ALL KNOW THEM, EVEN FINANCIAL TIMES INTERNATIONAL KNOWS IBADAN BUT NOT SOME CITIES, SORRY VILLAGES.LOL

lekkie073:
if lagos is unlivable, then other states in naija r not fit for living things

jaymichael: All aspect of Lagos life na stress.

Omo_Tier1: Nigerians, wake up to reality! If someone calls you a fool and you go to a corner and start asking yourself if you are a fool, then you are! That the West says Lagos is unlivable counts for nothing, it is what we Nigerians make of it. They called Sao Palo slums, they said Brazil was a huge slum, soon it displaced UK as the 6th biggest Economy, today they are now chating Brazil as an emerging super power.

Let Amanpour say what she likes, what counts and will make the difference is what Nigerians do with their country.

londoner:

Believe it or not some other states actually have what does not come abundantly in Lagos.

If hustle and bustle is not your thing, there are the states that will suit you better than Lagos.

Lagos can not be number one in all, as hard as it may be for some to accept.........lol

talk of a parallel statewide development and Lagos is still numerous uno. calabar is a beauty, but what of other portions of cross river? port harcourt is okay but what of other parts of rivers like ahaoda and it's types. onitsha awka and nnewi r livable but what of the remaining villages. I served in awkaetiti in idemili south and lo and behold no single bank in d whole idemili south LGA. until any state has a statewide parallel devt, Lagos is still unable father. fact!

Goddex: Amanpour

did not say anything new, we already know it. Some peeps that have
never travelled out of South West will disagree with Amanpour.

So pathetic for a state that the allknowing ACN have ruled for 14yrs.
Common pipeborne water which is the sole responsibility of the state
government remains a luxury in lagos 14yrs after, yet what some peeps on NL only know is to point fingers at Abuja.

londoner:


If banks were what makes a place livable, then Lagos would not be on the list.

Statewide development or not.......Lagos is hectic for some, while others ride on chaos.....

Its not as if there are no parts of Lagos that are underdeveloped....lol

I dont know what unable father means, but Lagos is also a father in stress and gra gra.....along with the development.
I think of Lagos as a city where you survive and have fun in between the stress.......FOR ME that can never be a livable city.

For others it is......if you take Melbourne Australia which is one of the top livabkle cities. Its is very developed and one of the leading cities in one of the best performing economies in the world. You know what else it has though......a culture of relaxation, fun and friendliness.

That is what makes it livable.....it is not a stressful city, although it has all the trappings of any (first world) modern city.
The city is where people work, make money, raise families and ENJOY LIFE.....!

Now that is a livable city.

anulaxad: Is she lying, for me it is the most unliveable city in the world, she is just being nice. my own grandma has lived in the capital of Lagos(ikeja)for over 50 years and the road outside her house has never been constructed(or lets say tarred.)
