independenc layout /okpara square .......

Okpara square preferably . I schooled at independence layout.

I dey reason the name of the road leading from New Heaven junction to the Governors lodge. That's the road we are viewing..

Owerri city is so beautiful that its known as the last Vegas of the east . I was born and schooled there but recently I couldn't trace roads again

the new Owerri is so on point

then another sexy and fine city is Enugu that place is so neat then calabar and uyo are so on point ..served in Benin that you place is ring road ..that's the only nice place there ..oh ph is still okay

then kd is fine Jos is OK but Muslims are messing em up

we got some nice places

go to other African countries even Ghana cities are messed up like New town liman tarakodi. ..then see Lome and Okada mayhem

have you seen Haiti or Kingstown go to Asian cities in Vietnam and funny districts in Thai wan you marvel

appreciate what you got

even some places in London is messed up like Kent then Bronx in NY or Compton in Cali

customized07: adae fear that calabar road

Obudu cattle ranch resort..

neuljosh: Uyo

development is so wide spread in Uyo such that pictures of beautiful places hardly repeat....you see new mouth gaping images each time. Unlike ibadan and that notorious flyover

These types of posts may act instead as holiday brochure for all of poverty stricken Africa to head for Nigeria instead of Italy...so beware



hmmm, what if Italians take a lead from such posts and start posting good stuff about Nigeria

Bororojo: Nigerians don't know the real meaning of beautiful...... all these pics range from mediocre to downright terrible....
maybe when you guyz travel outside the country, you would realize that what is being celebrated as excellence in Naija is just average at best.

mr traveller nobody said that Nigeria is the most beautiful country in the world, what the poster is trying to say is that Nigeria and Africa as a whole Isn't a forest filled with wild animals as they always paint it to be.

Wow I never new Nigeria is did beautiful

Wale112: upon on all your oil this how your city looks...Dubai,Qatar etc see the difference even Angola. Naija carry last

see who dey talk, even Accra no go even smell Kaduna sef.

Ghanaians can never compare Nigeria to their sewage country, everytime it's "..Nigeria isn't better than SA" now it's Dubai, Angola, thank God you know na we dey run things for WA.

Relax, you never even see Abuja, PH or Lagos and those pix of Uyo and Calabar are just outskirts of the cities, not even the main place.

If we vex post pix of Banana Island now, you go pack your kaya from Tema and enter container wey go carry you reach Lagos. Omo rada rada

These are not even the best pictures of each of those places. I know I've seen better even on Nairaland.

The last wipe-out did many of the pictures in though.

Abuja REP. But Na IGBO pEopLe Spoil Am.

Okay.

One better hotel dey for the left hand side of that picture..

neuljosh: As an active user of Google, I noticed that the western media stereotype of African countries has gone beyond CNN and BBC. If you ever tried using Google image for example to search for Nigeria or our African counterparts, you are most likely to see images of poverty, famine, war, corruption, maps and desert and/or forest. All the negative stuffs are all piled up to make us look bad.

Now let’s talk about Brazil, for example. Brazil is poor. There is prostitution. There is horror. There are drugs. But what is the image of Brazil in the world? The image of Brazil in the world is the image of a country that is successful, that is progressive, and that is exciting. The Brazilians themselves have taken the agenda in their own hands to promote it. Same could be said about other South American/Asian countries that are not really doing better than us. The trend of stereotyping Africa as one homogeneous nation has damaged the reputation of countries that are really doing well.

In Africa, we have abdicated our responsibility to drive our own image either consciously or unconsciously and that is why I have decided to collect some good pictures of most cites in Nigeria hoping that with the help of the remarkable traffic on Niaraland and other site I intend to work on, I would atleast make a statement. Enjoy the pictures

Brazil is poor? I don't think you know what you are talking about. They are the 7th richest country in the World. Now if you said there are poor parts of Brazil, then I would agree.

You better off , sending the pictures to google portals ..or upload to cities of the world website ..or thought google map would have done this automatically but you are right the west love the poverty pictures of Africa or black people .

Beautiful just committed suicide after viewing this thread, and the pictures.

R..I.P Beautiful!

P.S: stop celebrating mediocrity, there's absolutely nothing beautiful about these "cities" or should I say glorified-towns?

okparaugo:

Okay.

One better hotel dey for the left hand side of that picture..

Yep.
Golden Royale and
Blue Island Hotels.

As if You can compare these pictures with atleast the few stadium pics we saw in brazil, not to talk of the rest...
Lets 4gt sentiments pls. We are still miles away. "man dey pas man".

Mediocre....

Whoever brought this thread to the FP should be flogged with wet wire.

Beautiful picture of most Nigerian cities?! What is "most in just 10 states" represented?? Its not even half of the states and yet, it made front page?? smh

I said, nairaland mods should be probed.

no, it is not a forest filled with wild animals- but those pictures aren't beautiful either- represents the height of urban decay.
you know sometimes it could be nicer to live in a peaceful and tranquil rural area, than an urban one- Nigerian cities exemplify just why....
