Lagosbabe1: @ OP Can you explain your fascination with this topic? you have messaged every mod to put it on the FP, will you earn money if they put it on d FP? what is your agenda? i think you should concentrate on your studies and admission.

@ topic...I stopped reading when i saw pirates and boko haram-ill informed journalist making a show of him or her self. lagos is not borno plagued with Islamic fundamentalists or states where kidnapping is rife-we all know these states. The journalist erroneously ascribed to Lagos the problems of other regions in Nigeria. The Journalist has clearly never been to Lagos and knows very little about Nigeria.

Woeful article
tell that to vanguard lolz

Not all cities made the list, Abuja is far better than Lagos but was not there, the list was all about the best and the worst, the intermediates were not considered
. From what you wrote,it shows you hardly travel,I'm not sorry to say that because I do not believe anyone in his right mind and a good/sincere Nigerian,(not the bunch of liars and selfish people that made up of an ethnic group) will ever compare lagos to abuja, haba why can't we think before we talk......if you've been to both abuja and lagos recently I'm sure you won't make such statement that abuja is developed or beautiful than lagos, guy wake up and stop embarrassing yourself,with all the money in abuja I expect it to have turn to cities like new york and paris, even if not as beautiful as them, abuja should be close to em in term of development,but where is the abuja today,its no where to be found,FYI I just google search for the best cities in the world and none from nigeria not even our FCT is included so why jubillate over such crap, because you are not from lagos,a pdp member or probably an ibo man , I pity people like you cuz you are not even preparing for the great questions your children would ask you when the time comes, well lagos is one of the worst city and you not one of the worst Nigerian for jubilating that some as s holes said craps about one of the city in a country where you are claiming to be a citizen and all you could do is compare a commercial capital to a federal capital territory, guess most of us need a lot of orientation

Anuoluwap:
“Rapid growth is not always a good thing because Lagos is now a magnet for two perpetual threats to peace: pirates and
Islamist warriors.

Illogical argument devoid of any scintilla of economic intelligence

Anuoluwap:
Boko Haram have a problem with cities like Lagos and also lots of weaponry. Pirates threaten trade and use kidnapping as a method of funding. Islamist terrorist groups such as Boko Haram (“Education is forbidden”) want to create their own version of heaven on earth by destroying cities such as Lagos and imposing strict sharia law. Lagos has enormous potential but as yet little to show for it –


Confused folks at the Economic Intelligence Unit, according to the report, Lagos has enormous potential but little to show, yet, rapid growth is not always a good thing for a state like Lagos because it will be a magnet for two perpetual threats to peace.

Bunch of confusionist speaking from both side of the mouth! Why not allow for the rapid growth to continue so that the enormous potential can be fully optimized while the government bother with the threat to peace?

The deduction in the report is not only flawed but useless and only fit for the thrash can ...

My question to you is why are you insistent it makes the Front Page, do you get a prize for that? Or is it merely to compensate for a low self esteem or to massage your ego?

Shine It:

Boko haram is expected to flood Lagos in future cause of Yoruba muslims who want same thing as their Northern counterpart>>>>to islamize Nigeria.
. Let me tell you what you don't know, boko haram can not survive in lagos state,boko haram can not even take over any state in the SW,the muslims there are well informed and well educated, they are not sheep that follows their shepherds blindly,they can't even think of islamizing nigeria cuz most of em are from christian and trado religion background, so they still have families that would get hurt if they want to forcefully islamize Nigeria, mind you its wrong for a good and reasonable citizen of Nigeria to jubilate on this crap about lagos state, but what can I say,we are what we are, "200 million mumus"

Lagos is a massive slum, compared to Abuja. This is even beyond debate.

mankevo: In rational thinking, I don't expect anyone to jubilate over this. Do we reason ''One Nation'' at all?

I am sure Lagos was THE ONLY Nigerian city among that ranked list. Which means if it is 4th worst, the other 35 cities and Abuja ARE NON-EXISTENT!!
It's not every report we should be hyping ethnic response or party differentiation. For people already ''celebrating'' this report, which position is your city? Does EIU know your city name?
I will rejoice any day I read that my beloved Enugu city is 1st worst amongst: Dubai, Shanghai, Beijin, New York, Denver, Oman....... (It will mean world recognition)
City must first meet the ranking parameters before it could be included in the fold, and here it means ONLY LAGOS is Nigerian city worthy of EIU ranking.

See logic. I will tell you other cities not ranked, therefore ''non-existent'' by your reasoning: Las Vegas, Miami, Boston, Rotterdam, Frankfurt, e.t.c. Presumably Harare and Lagos which were ranked are more liveable than these cities. Why is this forum replete with stupidity?

Apart from VI, Ikoyi and Lekki, Ikeja, every other place in Lagos is just an unorganized mess. Its a fact, lets face it so we can make a change. Enough of these Tinubuans in Power. Lagos is the smallest state in landmass yet so largely undeveloped.
