Lagos thats abroad to many people, home to the largest concentrations of blacks

It might be worst to foreigners but certainly best to us residents
Stop dreaming!!!! Lagos is really a difficult place to live. Lots of man- hour lost in traffic, dirty streets, lack of infrastructure to support the growing population. The only thing postive about Lagos compared to all states in Nigeria is the security stability.

Many people can not see logic in what they read.

140 best cities were selected and Lagos was ranked 139th which is not bad at all.

Therefore, Lagos is one of the best place to live on earth.

Simple logic.

You've manufactured the emboldened. Where did you get 'best' from? Looks more like a list of key cities in each countries .

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) which is the research arm of The Economist Group, publishers of The Economist magazine has ranked Nigeria’s commercial capital, Lagos as the 2nd least livable city according to its Global livability report 2017. The ‘Centre of Excellence’ as the city is fondly described by Nigerians placed 139th in the list and only the Syrian capital, Damascus ranked lower at 140.

Melbourne, Australia is ranked as the best city to live in the world followed by the Vienna, the capital of Austria. The trio of Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary complete the top 5.

Tehran, the Iranian capital has improved the most on the report in the last 5 years, it currently ranks 127 followed by Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and Abidjan in the Ivory Coast, they are ranked 74th and 129th respectively.

The EIU rating is calculated using 5 weighted categories; Stability (25%), Healthcare 20%, Culture and Environment (25%), Education (10%) and Infrastructure (20%).

Lagos scored a total of 36 points out of 100 on the ranking compared to Melbourne which scored the highest with 97.5 points, Damascus scored the least with 30.2 points.

So, what do you think? Is this a fair assessment of Lagos?

Correct assessment. It is a terrible place to live in. Just pity and praise its inhabitants. Must be supernaturally endowed to live there.

Of course, baboons in the bush will not complain. No offence abeg. Try other parts of Nigeria, you will flee Lagos. If the Federal government can run for its life who am I.

Do you know there are over 4400 Cities in the world?

So Lagos ranking 139 among the Cities of the world isn't bad. Isn’t bad at all.


The heading, post and attachment therein are misleading!


You should post the rankings for the over 4000Cities and lets see....

So Lagos being our best city scored 139? That's fair. Although, I do not agree with that ranking. It must be noted that there are 195 countries and over 4400 cities in the world. Logically, if Lagos represent Nigeria and ranked 139th....It is really not a bad score.

Okay even after having all the IGR, bla, bla, bla...Why are you the least tribe that wants to rule themselves...why must the northerners by your god...why? The northerns said they can stand by themselves, the Biafrans, the SS, even the middle belt have made statements..Why do you loud mouths inspite of all your N10000 trillion IGR, you are scared stiff to be on your own..Why...


Bros, a little history will help you o. Just a summary: 2015 is the FIRST time in Nigeria's elections history that Yorubas will vote along with the North.
Meanwhile, the Igbos have ALWAYS voted in support of the North.

So please stop that crap about Yorubas being subservient to the North.

Lagos is a very dirty, tight over crowded city where crime rate is at the highest level. I wonder hw pple survive there, "Go-slow" is suppose to happen to motorists only on d road but in lagos human beings walking with their two legs also observe "go-slow" due to d massive crowd walking on d road, some coming from work or going to work, they even wake up as early as 3 or 4am to get prepared 4 work b4 the human "go-slow" meets them, I heard too that u walk pass pple's rooms n parlours as road to ur destination cuz of the tightness of d city, I heard pple pay to shit over there nd shit transportation is a major business there amg d youths. can any where else b worse than such a place? its even d most smallest state in Nigeria yet its d most populated so one can imagine d dirty n dehumanizing lifestyle human beings live there n they keep showing off in their music videos to deceive pple they're living good there. lagos is poo, 99% of Lagos pple have a very strong body ordour due to d tight dirty suffocating n dehumanizing lifestyle they live there. I hate that state with passion n I avoid their gals like plague cuz they're xtremely dirty n oozing out bad ordour cuz they always wear dirty stinky pants like some I live close to in my ND 1 days in sch, u pas their room ordour Will attack you from d room without u entering so I hold my breathe whenever I pas their room even their boys r dsame, I heard dey also luv party alot thats another reason 4 their permanent body ordour cuz they dance n sweat heavily without bathing. I know being dirty, oozing n smelling is yoruba culture but that of lagosians is worse. I dont wish to meet them or associate with any human being from lagos, I forbid them. I love my Delta state, am proudly urhobo guy! nd any urhobo city will never b identified as d worse city to dwell in nor any south-south city.

Is that all you could get from the post? Who is talking about election and party politics? I am talking of overall subervient on or off elections...

From time. Yorubas have never agitated for self rule...Hausa has Araba, SS had their republic, Igbos have always wanted Biafra...election or no election...What about Yorubas?
