Abuja, victorial island and ikoyi

Victoria Island,Ikoyi no be City!!

i think Abuja, the last time i went there it was still bushy though but u could see da difference from lagos

They are not city, is lagos a city? its a state. Everything we are mentioning here is a state. You might as well argue that nigeria does not have any well developed city because the only city I can see in my mind is Onitsha and Aba.
Maybe nnewi might be concidered a city too.

hmm true talk

i think the topic should be Best State

yea, NNEWI is a city

I don't get you Lagos is a city and a state. yeah but some people regard the whole of Lagos state as the city I think that should be your argument. Lagos is so big that it has sub cities like vic, ikoyi, surulere.

What is all this about Lagos,Abuja and Port Harcourt? None of these compare to Awka where the people are fantastic and the women are the sexiest in the country.

I can't wait to back home.Even London has nothing on Awka

For all ya saying Lagos a city, a state, Lagos is a metropolitan

Manila is also a metroplitan but its still a city. This isn't even what argueing about. Get back on track  Ibadan is the best

Ibadan is usually regarded as the largest village in Africa.

The city of lagos is made up of Lagos island(the business and financial district i.e. Broad street, Marina etc), Ikoyi, V.I., Surulere, Ikeja, and does not include Badagry, Ojo, Lekki and all those far away places.

It like the city of london does not include Barnet, Brixton, but includes Westminster, postcodes EC1, WC1 etc.

I think some of the criteria before a place can be granted city status include population, Cathedral (xtian cities), ease of travel, 'modern' urbanisation etc.

and then?

@ New

going by that definition V.I cannot be granted a city status as its is mainly a residential area nothing of interest there really no history just a new developemnt area

Loverbwoy,

V.I is not a city (and not all of it is new). It is a part of the city of Lagos. Please read my earlier post.

Elphem,

What are you trying to say? (what do you mean by 'and then?') Are you disadvantaged, unable to express yourself or what? please explain.

@ new

i was agreeing with u abi

u too read my earlier post #32

loverbwoy,

Pardon me. didn't realise. misread your post

@ New, You didn't go into any conclusion at all, you just stated those points without giving it a conclusion.

the City of Lagos resides within Lagos State. Like Benin city within Bendel State or Jos in Plateau State.

Did I hear you say BENDEL?

Elphem

U CAN START COMING HOME

lol y'all better help him i dont think he'll know the way

Our friend "Clueless" here, probably doesn't have any Nigerian friends in the UK anymore. Has a country British Accent and lives in the "White Section" of Britain. Lololololololol If he buys a ticket to Nigeria, he would not know which airport to Land. Lololol. Maybe we should book him to fly from Gatwick and Land in Delta Airport in Asaba State

hertfordshire!!! that cool rich white zone in england (as i heard). this dude may have been there for nearly 20yrs how can he come back now. the dude may even reach ghana and think it's nigeria. i hope he knows that our capital is now in Abuja and that we have 36 states i'm sure he doesn't know his state of origin as his village may have been "sent" to another state which he is not familiar with. anyway, everly kind nairalanders will always find a way, may be nairaland assistance unit will chartter a plane from hertfordshire to nigerdelta to bring our brother home. guys it's time to help. abeg.

I guess that time he will know better cities in Nigeria in its physical realm and not what you read on paper!!!!

Lagos would be hard to beat despite the bad vibes. With some spare time, loose change and the desire to move around a bit Lagos is off the charts,

www.wheretogoinlagos.com just tries to paint Lagos in very positives tones.

hmmmn, so fine places like this dey for naija? pls let us advertise the good side of africa. the western press only shows the bad side. that's why people here think africa is all about diseases, war and poverty.

Jos is a nice city, it's a cool and serene environment and quite neat and orderly too, and it's got a lot of tourist areas. But it can be really boring, nothing seems to happen, it's a place where the old folks should retire to, having stayed in jos for some time Lagos seems stuffy in comparison, it's like there are people everwhere, buildings, buses, all sorts of things, except the highbrow areas. When you take a stroll in Jos the view is picturesque, you'll likely see mountains,trees, rocks, sparse traffic, few people, taking a stroll in lagos is like punishment.

Abuja is a neat and well planned city, but unlike jos the weather is quite hot

I guess i'll giv it to calabar, i've heard a lot of gud stuff bout d place. Anoda place is ibadan. Lagos is jst a mad funny place, i like it though

elphem, Old Glory, toshmann, et al, thanks for taking the piss. (lol) Yes, I haven't been home in a while, Yes, I haven't got many Nigerian friends and that is why I am here. Trying to understand and communicate with my sisters and bruvvers. We cool?

Toshman,

Liverpool for ever

New
