Which city in Nigeria or Lagos of today is like Eko Atlantic?

It is setting a standard because it's a new concept for Nigeria and it is beautifully designed and also planned.

Ogbeni keep shut! Why must everything be in Lagos. You have a population of 180 million but the only state you can boast of is Lagos.
Shame!
Your country is useless, worthless, and pathetic.

BruncleZuma:


I get your point...

Maybe they'd have Julius Malema to deal with

The Guptas through their proxy Zuma is showing SA shege.

For real though if the rot setting in under Zuma had been since independence to now we may be looking at very different images. I actually wish both Malema and Ndlozi could be loaned out to Nigeria for five years just to give the youth at least a kick up the bum. But then SA has a history of resistance and freedom fighting donuts in keeping with that culture whereas Nigerians has been consistently paralyzed and retrogressing back into childhood politically.

Country with crude oil but fuel is scarce for its citizens. Is Nigeria not a failed project?

lol since. it's is!
me I will just hold a Nigerians flag when I go for judgment in heaven.
atleast I have tasted 1 hell here

cooltola:
DsTV shoprite mtn and-many more companies profiting from Nigeria . SA needs Nigeria; please Nigeria is going through a phase which can take years to recover. Nigeria is still standing plus we are in the World Cup. Do not wake a sleeping giant

Nigeria can never recover because you were not a giant in the first place

Eko Atlantic is an ongoing project which sets a higher standard for Nigerian cities. When a standard is set others will follow. Whether the first is Lagos or Warri makes no difference but Lagos administration have been the one out of 36 to take such a bold step. Others will feel the heat and have to step up once their mediocrity is so vividly exposed.

I'm no fan of Lagos but I admire their boldness to create a city out of the sea. Just like Dubai was built in the desert. Like it or loathe it it's happening.

oooduancalmdown:

It's called the giant because of its population size, which is giant and that is still fact unless there is another African country with a larger population?

Lol my friend I am a woman I only travel in not out. I am from London so I guess you must be new to NL then?
I have lived in Australia also and have travelled to quite a few countries if you must know.

I only travel to Abuja when I come to Nigeria in fact.

Please see the thread I created a while ago about one of my trips.

Go to Kigali in Rwanda. They have rebuilt after their civil war and developed more in 23 years than Nigeria has in 47 years


Giant of Africa my foot

I am glad you know population is reason why you call your country giant

Yes I know that which is why when people refute it I know they are not aware of the reason Nigeria is called "the giant of Africa" in the first place lol.

Dieeee if u don't want to hear the truth

It's sad man

greiboy:
nigga

Don't tell me what I know. I lived in south Africa for a while. I schooled there. The sandton the guy is showing in his pictures is dominated by white people

Those areas I showed in my pictures are inhabited by black folks, which represents the significant portion of the south African population.

I am not saying every country doesn't have is own problems, but that doesn't mean a country where majority of its population are not doing any better than us can come to our forums to intimidate us.

oga what are you saying? Can't you see the headlines? He said south African cities vs nigeriam cities! He didn't say south Africa vs nigeria! Even at that south Africa is miles ahead of Nigeria in all aspect, education, health, electricity, name it. When it come to slums, even almighty america has slums and dirty places.

Hard truth, SA is more developed.

It's sad indeed but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel. Many believe Zuma betrayed the ideals of the anti-apartheid struggle and is a white imperialist sympathiser.

All that sacrifice and it seems to be unraveling. I think Mandela becoming president was the start of the journey to Black South African freedom not the conclusion which is why I'm happy they have EFF and Malema/ Ndlozi because they realise that.

In terms of development, South Africa is on another level compared to Nigeria.......Thanks to their white population.

The black population of South Africa should just keep quiet since we all know it was at the end of the 90s the whites just let them out of their cages.

I won't necessarily call the Guptas imperialists...

Everyone knows they have him in their pocket...but his tenure will not last forever...infact there is a stack similarity between Zuma and Buhari now that I think of it

Dude.....you've lost hope in yourself and you transfer it through your views.

Looking at your posts, I can see you're hurting.

Deeldorado:

I only disagree with affordable. Only if you're earning good income.

Bros you don't need all the omo onile wahala to own properties in SA. Just purchase your flat on mortgage..no need to bribe NEPA for power...or waterworks for supply all needed is your paycheck.

In Nigeria your money buys nothing! Healthcare zero!

oooduancalmdown:
E pain you say your country useless?

not as useless as your grey matter.

MPSA:


I don't like the boiling head, But my head is now boiling , Nigerians and other Africans started to migrate to SA after 1994, and Nigerians start to sell shoes on our street, they done absolutely nothing, they failed to fix Nigeria, how come they can develop SA

You can brag all you want on Nairaland... but the Whites made South Africa what it is ( unless you're white), and we all know how blacks feel inferior to whites in South Africa... but in Nigeria, no one looks down on anybody because we're all the same, We don't have to please anybody to be accepted... you have no idea how priceless it is to feel like a King in your land...so, forget all this show off of how beautiful your country is...the question is, how do you feel as a citizen of South Africa? that is if you're black...do blacks and whites have equal rights and opportunities? so don't paint a beautiful picture, showing us exotic locations only occupied by the Whites.

We just dey go backwards for Naija all the countries we use independence senior don dey senior us for development.....I pity my country, our Nigeria....
