Nigeria Best Cities Challenge (join Poll Now) by critics: 5:59pm On Sep 11, 2015 |
Nigeria best cities challenge is a contest which we intend to rate Nigerian cities in accordance to the criteria submitted to our premium Ratings site by majority of our respondents as to what they considers most important to living the good life. The following are the criteria most rooted for and the criteria to judging our best cities will be based upon them. Standard of living Security Beauty/aesthetics Serenity/orderliness Relaxation/Hospitality BRIEF BREAKDOWN OF THESE CRITERIA STANDARD OF LIVING: people tend to live better in cities with higher standard of living compared to people living in cities with lower standard of living. Per capital income is one of the widely accepted quantitative measures of the standard of living of people in a given locality. It shows the average earning of individual in a given locality in one year and quantitatively expressed as the ratio of the GDP to the total population in a given year. GDP per capital does not capture the dynamics of distribution of income and may be misleading at times. We therefore, at this end, also have to consider the inflow and circulation of income to and within the cities as a result of the prevailing economic activities in the cities such as the presence of industries, commerce, tourism and hospitality, the level of government spending etc. we will also consider the employment potentials vis a vis the extent of the labour force pressure; the purchasing power vis a vis the cost of living. So where are the cities in Nigeria that have the fairest share of high standard of living? SECURITY: Security of lives and property is central to living the good life and it is by no means unexpected that most of our respondents considered it very important in living the life after all who would not want to stay safe. So the big question is: where are Nigeria safest cities? Beauty and aesthetics: one of the trappings that lure and keep people in a place is it beauty and aesthetic design. Little wonder why historic cities like Eldorado, London, Paris, etc are synonymous to beauty and destination cities. So where are the Nigerian beautiful cities located? Where can we find the impressive skyline, eye catching city aerial view, beautiful road network, quality structures, lush and well mowed city flowers and grasses, etc? SERENITY AND ORDERLINESS: people tend to prefer to live in a clean, orderly and peaceful neighborhood as such it is not a coincident that a whole lot of our respondents fing.ered it as a major criterion to living the good life. Nobody would prefer by free will to leave in a slummy, shanty and garbage ridden environment to a serene one. So where are the serene cities in Nigeria? the cities with the cleanest neighborhood; effective refuse management system; orderly building in relation to road network; greenery; well thought out city segmentation (in terms of commercial area, industrial area, residential area, etc). GROOVE/RELAXATION/HOSPITALITY: most people considers unwinding and relaxation as an indispensable aspect of living the good life especially after some hectic hours of day work. So where are the cities having the groove thing going on for them all day, all week and round the year?. The cities with the touch of las Vegas (aka sin city aka the entertainment capital of the world!). Where are the cities with ample of relaxation spots, hotels, casinos, night life, women and all other ingredients necessary for groove, relaxation and hospitality? RULES FOR VOTING 1) You may vote in the following format: criteria/chosen city or any intelligible way. For example if you feel city A is the most secured then you may simply vote for it as: security/city A. for more criteria you may vote as: Standard of living/city C Security/ city A Beauty/aesthetics/city D Serenity/orderliness/city B Relaxation/Hospitality/ city E 2) After voting you may go ahead to state reasons with maybe pictorial evidence to support your choices 3) Each vote is worth three points and you may vote for at most three cities in each criteria with the first choice city having three points, the second having two point and the third having one point any additional city will not be considered. Typical example; security/City A/City B/City C, here city A ,B and C would have 3, 2 and 1 points respectively From time to time you will be updated with a league table showing the standing of the cities against each criteria The voting will last for two weeks. As premium Ratings model this polls is being carried out in other social networks platform to allow for larger sample. At the end of the polls, the final result is collated from these social network in addition with the one on our site to have the premium final results. the city that emerges top in this challenge becomes Our Nigerian Destination City 2015. poll officially open source http://premiumratings.org/prt-timeline/nigeria-best-cities-challenge/ 1 Like |

Apart from abj I haven't been to northern Nigeria so to that extent I may be biased. I refused to follow any yardstick that include. standard of living because of all the criteria stated, it is the most misleading in the Nigerian context. Abuja is one Enugu is two Calabar is three ( may lose it soon) VI is four Ikoyi is five (only because of some regenerative on going works ) Uyo is six Then the rest can't be considered for cityhood. *notice I split lagos up for ut to make the list.If one considers lagis together it loses that status. *also VGC , Banana island are too small to be considered. *My all time Nigerian city would have bn Festac Ton but it's unfortunately too decayed now *Bonny island in rivers state and othrr such places aren't included because not only are they small but they don't really feel like part of Nigerian territory ......Please forgive my fantasy, appart from Abuja there's no city in Nigeria (in the real sense of it) don't be fooled |

Standard of living/city C - Enugu Security/ city A - Enugu...very safe:-) Beauty/aesthetics/city D -Enugu...those hills:-) Serenity/orderliness/city B - Enugu...like abroad:-) Relaxation/Hospitality/ city E - Enugu...it's called 042 for reason: -) Enugu remains the best city in Nigeria hands down. I 'm from Calabar; Calabar is over hyped. If this poll were done 7yrs ago, maybe Abuja or Calabar. What has happened is Calabar stopped growing after Donald Duke left while Enugu upped its game massively. Abuja is becoming like Lagos. I vote Enugu! Watch out for Awka 5 yrs from now...will rival Enugu! 15 Likes 1 Share |

[b]Standard of living- Osogbo aside the temporary salary issue,there's 24 hrs light too.probably the best in Nigeria when it comes to electricity.Food extremely cheap i can't even explain it Security- Osun state in general is the most peaceful state in the south-west and i hardly hear about any crime from there since Ife/Modakeke issue was solved.No need to talk about the north,east the same thing Beauty/aesthetics- I don't like to get carried away by all these nairaland pics tho.if i take pictures of some places in ibadan, a lot of people will think its Dubai meanwhile the city generally is nothing to write home about but i heard from a reliable source Uyo is in a different league compared to other naija cities so i'd stick with Uyo alongside Abuja Serenity/orderliness- If we're to go by the way the biafran guys hype Enugu and owerri then maybe i will accept it alongside Uyo and Calabar Relaxation- Lagos,Akwa-ibom,Abuja.Those northern cities free from the whole boko haram shenanigans[/b] 3 Likes |
