Part of the Nigerian mentality is looking at Lagos as a standard and trying to repeat the same mistakes of unplanned growth which force the capital to move to Abuja.

We should ALWAYS think of the BEST PRACTICES GLOBALLY AS THE STANDARD.

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING!

Many cities in the world are much bigger than Lagos, yet they are well planned and liveable. If the way estates are moved and well spaced in the surburbs of Abuja continue, even in 50 years time, it will not become a congested nightmare. Because it is decentralized and people can live in different zones comfortably. That is the best practice that should be adopted and not putting more and more things on Oguta road or Awka road in Onitsha or Zik avenue in Awka. Instead we should build MORE Zik avenues in virgin territories on Awka so that new developments can go there. The same way we should develop the Nkisi road all the way to Aguleri as a dual carriage way as Obiano severally promised during his second term campaign.

The idea of confining every development with the old city boundary from generation to generation is the hallmark of failure of Nigerian cities and should be desperately avoided in Anambra. If the map below is laid over Anambra, it will cover from Onitsha to Awka and from Aguleri to Ihiala. If you think about it, Anambra mega city project could adopt a plan like this and not that talking about Lagos all the time.

In the aerial map below, many small town were enveloped into a mega city with well connected railway tracts and dual carriageways. This is the best practice globally that should be the plan and not replicating past mistakes of Lagos because some people who have not been outside Nigeria are yet to realize that indeed Lagos is a slum city of unimaginable dimension. This is not an insult to Lagos, but merely a statement of fact. The fact that Nigerian cities base their model of development on Lagos is what makes Port Harcourt, Kano and other cities in Nigeria look the way they look. You only need to leave Nigeria and come back after 6 months to see Lagos with a trained eye.

I totally agree with you. A lot of Anambra pictures on other threads are pictures that I have seen so many times. We need to new, fresh and current pictures of various developments in the state. Recycling the same old pictures gets boring.

lol @ updates. What are they updating with the same random internet pictures recycled and posted just to fraudulently fool people and elongate the meaningless thread to a million pages?

Are old Catholic schools built in 1909 and old roads roads built decades ago updates or the Op just don't know the meaning of updates?

The Op even posted pictures of somebody's ugly living room as updates.

Where are the new infrastructures?


The whole thread is fraud and gimmicks...

You were trying to make jest when I was serious about what I was saying. When I am serious, I am a bit hostile.

I am sorry for sounding harsh but I needed to get some information. I am planning something when I get home.
