abeokuta in ogun state, maiduguri north(christians are welcome there no discrimination)

I like Lagos. Of course, you have to go to the right parts of the city, but that is the same for just about anywhere.

whiteroses:

abeokuta in ogun state, maiduguri north(christians are welcome there no discrimination)

is maidugiri not the place where christains were attacked over the dannish cartoons issue?

anyway, the best city in nigeria is calabar.
it is the cleanest city
it has low crime rate
things are relatively cheap there
traffic is smooth(i lived there for 8yrs and i saw hold up only 2ice, during unical matriculation day)
the people are social
it's got history
the girls are "sweet and welcoming"
it's a coastal city
it is the best.

Two thumbs up for toshh!!!

Calabar rocks!!! It's the best place in Nigeria. Tinapa is coming up. All other dirty places should, well, they know what to do.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm for now -am thinking lagos.

This is beyond any doubt Abuja:new, snazzy and sparkling capital and a place for the NEW AND MODERN NIGERIA

Cal - A - BAR,

Thank you Toshman
Calabar is far far better than any city in nigeria cos its got all it takes.
sometimes when I read articles about calabar I wonder if it is in nigeria.
the projects there are wonderful
Obudu ranch is a paradise and now the free trade zone is da !!BOMB!!

Awka is the best with the most lovely people in the country.

Awka Can you tell us some features in awka that make it good.

Awka Can you tell us some features in awka that make it good.

it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for that question to be answered.

It is people that make a city thick and in Awka you will find the greatest people in Nigeria
The people of Awka are the friendliest funniest people you will find in the country.You will be hard pressed to find a
better collection of people than Awka people
All other cities in Nigeria are hostile crime ridden places and frankly if wanted such things I would rather travel to Baghdad

@4play,
when i was a student in nigeria, i heard that another name for local guns is "awka made". well, i dunno wt u may say to that as regards low crime rate in awka. by the way, Calabar has a very low crime rate. u know what calabar means?
c=come
a=and
l= live
a=and
b= be
a=at
r=rest

check it out

If we should start talking about people in MY opinion Ibadan people are real nice, they are funny too.
But I havent been in Nigerian in a while so I cant judge where the best cuty is.

what the hell are u people sayin here. the best city is ABA jo. imagine, ABA oooo, ABA oooo.

I have not travelled far and wide within this great country but Ibadan would be my pick of the places I have been to.

i would say owerri in imo state if you know your way around and you got enough coins you are bound to enjoy your self

Owerri is cool, i grew up in owerri, but these days owerri is getting too dirty for my liking while calabar is just clean. almost like europe. their governor has vision.

My vote for Nigerias BEST city would go to Jos in the central plateau area of Nigeria.  The landscape on the way there stretches out to distant horizons in breath-taking beauty, and reminds one of the rolling plains of the American West. The weather in that part of the country is mid-70's cool like an endless European Summer, and the population density of the area is relatively low in comparison to most other places in Nigeria.  One only hopes that the sectarian violence in some of the Plateau State's remote regions tapers off soon.

My vote for the ABSOLUTE WORST inhabited location on planet earth goes unhesitatingly to LAGOS, that litter strewn, decrepit,  traffic-jammed, crime ridden, riot plagued, smelly, ridiculously overpopulated cess-pool of haphazard and unplanned substandard construction that squats like a festering boil on the ocean shores of Nigerias south west coastline.  "They say that happiness is looking at Lagos in your rear-view mirror".

Depends where you go to in Lagos.

Jakumo

U are right Lagos is a mess. Thanks!

@Sade

The whole Lagos is a complete Mess. Including Ikoyi, VI, Lekki,Ikeja,Aja, Epe, Surlere, Yaba ETC.

@Diddy
I wanted to die, did someone say Aba? Please there is no need for Homer choices here. Aba is not a city anymore. It is a dirty market.

@Topic
Best city i will say with all those factors above, has to be CALABAR! Jos might be a close second, but their Governor (Dariye) is a clown.

What about Victoria Island?

@Sade

It sounds like you have been out of Nigeria for a while. Read the requirements Ladyb has above. I added VI to my list.

Oh, I didnt read it and I havent been in Nigeria for a LLLOOOONNNGGG time.

lagos and ibadan are the best. Hey for some people culture and chaos are it.

Abuja
PH
Calabar.

@ beyounce the best in the three you mentioned

beyunce baby gat it all but she is 4getting one ABA!!!

kilo4uall:
