You can't have a city without basic amenities like water,electricity,good roads and hygienic environment. Lagos,like most Nigerian cities is a city in the dark age.

from where you're u will not understand me...
honestly I don't understand Nigerians , I have lived in New York , London , Frankfurt , Stockholm , and the difference is clear when you compare these to Lagos ..an average Nigerian does not know they are living sub-standardly , even the rich Nigerians that use generators ,gated houses and party life cannot be compared to the poorest people in the west , how can a country like Nigeria still not boost of 24hrs electricity and healthcare ?? , what about portable water , why , why why ...it is annoying

If you don't like a craze atmosphere, no surprises because most ladies dont.

But Lagos is not entirely a crazy place, there are some serene environs one can enjoy peace that you can also see in the states you mentioned like in the Island but that's if you have the money.

But lemme also mention that Lagos is more crowded than Enugu, Ondo and your so-called-peaceful states that's why those states look peaceful and quiet unlike Eko smiley


I know it's a lot more crowded not disputing that, hence the madness and you can't be completely isolated from that madness even if you stay on the island, it won't stop you from being stuck in traffic for hours..... Anyway, different strokes

Uzo....biko come back to Lagos. We love you here


Lol...I love you guys too but I will send the love from here Biko, don't have to be present physically to show the love. If I ever get to settle back in Nigeria, it won't be Lagos, maybe until you make a positive change when we elect you grin wink smiley cheesy

Lagos is a hellhole not worth living in.Area boys,cratered+potholed roads,no water ,no 24/7 power,trash everywhere,overcrowding+hawkers on every corner and filthy slums galore.

The well planned Portuguese and later British city of yesteryears has now been turned into 3rd worst nightmare by the locals.

With all the banana island and VGC? Idontbelieveit cheesy
Even if you live in BI or VGC, you will still have reasons to go to other parts of Lagos. The truth is, living in Lagos is worse than hell, you will perpetually live a life of rush and hurry, you will not sleep well and you will end up working like an elephant and eating like ant. The same distance I used to spend over 3 hours when I was in Lagos, I now spend 45 to 50 minutes in Abuja. Today, even if you give me a job offer that's 20% better in Lagos than the one I'm doing in Abuja , I will still not live in Lagos because this life is too short to start suffering like that in Lagos. Agbero is another sour thing in Lagos, omonile is another issue, security is something else, street fight everywhere, the noise is unimaginable, etc. Guy, Lagos is not for me.

Anything good that comes from Lagos is for all Nigerian s but the bad is for the Yorubas. Yes, we accept the bad. Lagos remains our land and we are proud of it good or bad. Your cities are not even rated as such according to global standards

Lol, just because Ambode assented to a Law criminalizing omonile activities few days ago doesn't mean omonile will cease to exist in Lagos. They have been operating outside the law & they will continue to do so.
