na so! with the badoo, kidnapping, mc oluomo squad show down and flooding everywhere, danfo menace, traffic jam etc. u try

Badoo occurs mainly in Ikorodu, go to crime section and see how suspects are lynched and crimes uncovered

Kidnapping is worst in Mexico, Columbia, and many South American countries

Flood is seasonal, occurs in many parts of the world, many States in Nigeria experience it and it is partly caused by global warming

New York traffic jam is worse, many big cities experience it

Killing everyday no stop
Yet CNN and BBC will never show it

You don't know what you are saying

This list doesn't make any sense
How will Lagos be 2nd in the world?
There are cities where starvation is the major cause of death.
There are cities where gun shot and bomb blast have been normalized.

And yet Lagos is 2nd

We need to probe this list!

Chicago and Detroit are not on the list, it means they are both worse than any of the cities that made the list

No, honey undecided

Take for instance, Germany. There's Stuttgart, Hamburg, Koln, Bonn, Munich, Frankfurt, Berlin, etc as top-notch cities.

Probably only Berlin made the list cos its the largest... You wanna say Lagos is better than the others I've mentioned?

It was rhetorical. I'll answer for you. Not in hell. Or if you have a diff opinion, I would like to hear it

I believe this "Key" is your own assumption. Our worst or 2nd best City would not be a "Key" city within the context of this ranking except otherwise another city in Nigeria made that 140 list. This is just a simple logic. Do you have a complete list that ranked only just 140 Cities as the only key cities of the world? Please share.
Just as your assumption that the "Best" cities were assessed was plucked out of thin air

So true, the crime rate in lagos is so high ranging from ritual killings, robbery, rape etc

So, you're saying Rio, Johannesburg, Mexico city, Caracas etc are safer than Lagos? undecided

It is a fair assessment of Lagos. In fact, if not for the war in Syria, Lagos should have come dead last.
I have always felt that Lagos is not fit for human habitation. Quality of life is zero.

You obviously have not been to Chicago and Detroit. How can you be comparing Lagos with planned cities with decent infrastructures.
You should be comparing Lagos with, maybe Accra or some other third world cities.

No be only America...... Your "Sophisticated" Lagos turns out to be UNLIVABLE. The only reason why Lagos has some positivity is because of the Igbo Enterprises there as well that of expatriates. Otherwise Lagos would be another oshogbo.

Hi,

I live in Calgary (the 5th on best city on this list) for almost a decade now, I can honestly tell you that after living in Staten Island NY, Chicago (north side)IL, Montreal, QC and of Lagos, Nigeria. Calgary is probably the worst place I've ever lived. Why? The only thing here is, it has the lowest unemployment rate in North America, other than that, its crap! No life, no recreations, no amusements no beach no play!

Chicago on the other side is awesome, but its not just guaranteed that you will live to see the next day because of the gun violence and high crimes rate.

I wonder why they Lagos was rated so low, to me, this city is way better than most of top 50's on the list.

Oyinbo have forgotten that most people are now empowered by sophisticated information tool called "Google"

I dont know why all this jealousy about the centre of excellence from the ipob touts. Whether the so-called list places Lagos no.1 or 2 or last, it doesnt change whaat Lagos is. To all the ungrateful ipob miscreants, Lagos is their America. Lol

Flock where? Or they are exiting! Most shanties and slums were developed by igbos, ajao estate, papa ajao, oshodi isolo, ago etc.... So shut your mouth and be thankful for once.

Insecurity.
Overcrowding.
Lack of affordable housing leading to increase in slums.
Lack of affordable medical facilities.
Pollution, just look at our blocked drainages.
Lack of infrastructure (most of the roads we ply are the same ones built over 30 years ago) to support the rising population.
High cost of living and low standard of living.

Lagos is trying, but it can't. be compared to other major cities around the world.

If you go lagos and see any area that has high numbers of new and well structured houses, have it at the back of ur mind that igbos are concentrated in that area ..
