Kingskid20: Bleep dis lagos it stinks like hell.i hate lag

ichidodo: Pls Don't be naive for the farmhouse has been left wide open and all livestock have left the building.

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.

ImHotep-X:
Yes, it might be the 4th worst city in the world, however, it's still the best and by far the only place worthy of city-status in Nigeria. The rest are glorified villages and towns and none of them made the list, including the sleepy and boring architectures having Abuja!

If you doubt my assertion, check the migration pattern in Nigeria to find out the only place where almost all Nigerians want to migrate to.

Anyway, that being said, how many cities in the world with the small land-mass as Lagos has over 20 million people inhabitants? - NONE. So Lagos isn't really doing bad, thanks to Fashola - the state just need to purge some of the "foreigners" living there and it'd be fine.

The land of my ancestors, Lagos, I'm really proud of you!

ImHotep-X:


Well, a few countries on the list were represented by two or more cities - how come all the villages you listed up there ^^^^ didn't get a mention?

All those villages combined should never be mentioned in the same sentence as Lagos. People from there migrate to Lagos, not the other way round. You can overdose on haterade as much as you want, but you lot can never touch Lagos. Lagos is head and shoulders above all those villages - FACT!

And hell yeah, my fore-fathers set the tone for what Lagos is today. (REAL)Lagosians have always been far ahead of everyone in Nigeria way before there was a Nigeria. We're talking about merchants who controlled the coast and monopolised trades here - savvy and ingenious people who put Lagos on the world map!

At the root of the crisis now rocking the newly registered party in Lagos is a directive issued by Tinubu to some chairmen of local government councils who travelled to the United States of America last week to greet the former governor on his hospital bed that the council bosses should go and begin work for whichever candidate Governor Fashola presents as his choice of successor.

Omotolaaraujo: Don't blame Whitey for the problems in Africa, your black brethren oppresses Nigerians. All your officials are Nigerians. Maybe some good white people could show them how to run a better country. The US is much less bigoted than Africa. Don't be a hater.

berem: Your sycophantic attitude is becoming nauseating and obnoxious. Seriously!!

ichidodo: Point of correction lagos was never a colony of portugal but the benin empire, it was a slave port( little why portuguese slave traders loved the area) bini warriors traded yoruba slaves to d 'portuma' in exchange for trinkets,liqour,mirrors etc after the aboltion of slavery it went into d protectorate of d British.We d last barbarians have made a giant leap and have seized the 'heart' of lagos from d British.So who now owns Lagos? The civilised slaves or the barbarians from d east?

Radoillo:

Back up, bro. Did u just say Lagos was a Portuguese colony? Really?

And apparently, you equate 'civilization' with 'contact with whitish people'. That kind of thinking is so 19th century, man.

ALTRUTH: It's just too bad that almost every thread ends us as Igbo vs Yoruba e-war. This constant online struggle is become so tiring.
