Uyo the capital of Akwa Ibom state under govt Godswill Akpabio for the pass eight years had witness a tremendous development with many govt projects of international standards but LAGOS the former capital of Nigeria and likely the most industrialized state in Nigeria over the pass sixteen year is still striving to reached the expectations of many Nigerians. Uyo is just 26 years old unlike lagos which has existed before independence

Uyo is a town in Akwa ibom not a state. whats wrong with the other towns, its better u compare abule-egba to uyo instead.
Akwa ibom including uyo, can never stand near lagos in terms of development. Get that strait.

I just visited, Akwa ibom recently and I can say that indeed, the government is working. The road network, availability of electricity, neatness of the environment is worthy of a good appraiser to the government of Akwa ibom. You can not see market everywhere, no street hawking. Indeed, Akwa ibom is worth giving the mark. I am a lagos born and bred. But plz the truth needs to be told, Akwa ibom has left lagos behind in terms of development, light, roads, security and much more

How can anyone compare Uyo with lagos .Uyo is a state capital while lagos is a state on it own.so compare Uyo with Ikeja.beside Akwa ibom state can't be compare with lagos state in term of development,Lagos is far above akwa ibom.

Hmm

Lolz... Very Funny.. Comparing Uyo with Almighty Lagos State....Funny i must say

You can extend your comparison to the population density in Lagos and Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom.


The population of Ajeromi-Ifelodun alone, is more than what you have in Uyo.

For f.ucks sake why will u compare uyo to lagos.......are u okay ?

Aba is far more developed than Uyo not to talk if Lagos. People are really going insane.

One of the funniest threads on nairaland. I shake my head for Nigerian education

Akwa Ibom feeds Lagos, all Akwa Ibom need is a deep sea port and a well planned industrial city and a 6 lane express way to Aba to overtake Lagos in all ramifications.
Lagos was built by the federal government while Akwa Ibom was built by ibomites

You don't know what you are taking about. The population of one local government in Lagos is more than the whole of Uyo.

Haba! This Uyo- Akwa Ibom bragging has gone too far.

I laugh in Chinese. Just Victoria Island alone is more developed infrastructurally than the whole of Akwa Ibom, not to mention Ikoyi, Lekki-Ajah Axis, Banana Island, or Ikeja. Smh.

You have asked for nothing.

Uyo is a mini heaven

Where is/are your empirical evidence(s), Pinturs?

The same Lagos a lot of Ibomites rush to to become house helps. If we start repatriation of non-indigenes in Lagos you people will start shouting and crying. The pressure on Lagos infrastructures is just too much. Alimosho LGA in Lagos has more population than uyo and about the same with the whole of Akwa-ibom. Besides compare V.I, Lekki, Banana Island, Ikeja the capital to Uyo not d whole Lagos.

who no go no go know,if u r a traveller u will not talk like this.akwa ibom is very beautiful in new styles while lagos na old glory and commercial city.

Like comparing America with Togo...Shame

Let me take it a notch higher.

A street in uyo is well developed than the whole of lagos state.

Though Uyo is developing at a fast rate, Lagos is still miles ahead in all ramifications

Just take am easy na

Hmmm comparison oh

MeAndYou:


Just take am easy na

I did but some people don't realize that even the Lagos you are boasting of is filled up with investments and investors from the other parts of the country

What are we comparing here? why compare oranges with pineapples. Lagos, a state and Uyo, a state capital. U'd be better comparing job creation between Akpabio and Fashola in their individual states. Akpabio fails miserably

How many people lives in Uyo. Compare ko conspire ni. Do you want to compare some Caribean Island to New York?

op am sure u wrong up stairs, even in 50 years time uyo no fit meet Ikeja

Lagos this, Lagos that! Lagos is causing so many people headache o. There is no basis for comparison besides, no state plus FCT houses people of different ethnic groups than Lagos.

Mind you Lagos is the smallest state in Landmass so camparing Uyo is not bad, to me VI, Lakki, Ikoyi, Part of Ikeja,part of Surulere and Marina is the only area that make sense in Lagos

See this dull head, Lagos that was a metropolis city before the british colonization was built by whose money?
The same Lagos that has its Oba visiting Lodon in the 60's was built by whose money?
Ibos rewriting Nigeria history since infants! What a shame!

Lagos is a city, not a state. Just like Kano, kaduna and benin
