Lagos still far more developed than Nairobi.

You can sing that all you want it won't make that true my friend. "Upper Hill" just one part of Nairobi is better than what the whole Lagos has to offer. Let's leave sentiment aside for a minute

Dumb thread.
Go to Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt even Deira in Dubai and see what beauty is.
Many the shit you just showed us is the new definition of Beauty.

Is it the one I saw repeatedly in that Nigeria Vs Kenya's forum? Stop fooling yourself.

Nairobi is the capital of slumpolio.

Stop denigrating your country because of
your own inadequacies, your greatness is
measured by the strength of your nation.
Only cowards trade their nationality
because patriotism runs in the blood.
Great countries are not made from the
wishes and dreams of a people but from
the compromise and sacrifices of a
generation in history. Great countries are
made not with leaders whose patriotism
overwhelms their personal interests when
its economy is developed by
entrepreneurs and its researches and
findings are dedicated to the
advancement of human interest and value.
Great countries are products of intellectual
and political ideologies, devoid of
primordial sentiments but engaging in
creating a philosophy of national dogma
and character. Until the day we know that
we are the government, the country can
never work for us.

The mistake the original poster made was to compare Lagos with other African countries

Yes, its still better than anything Ive ever seen from Nigeria to be honest. They maybe be "slumpolio" but they have a thriving tourism industry, that should tell you something don't you think?...no offence but who dare travels to Nigeria, to see what?

forgiveness:


Do you mean the Lagos [Eko] you saw is talking about Lagos state?

Yes it is

There's no growth in disunity. Let's start with that. A family that is not united will never grow as a family, as a people. Individuals may grow but the family will never grow.

Like OBJ said "The whole thing is not just about leadership. If we talk about good leadership you should also talk about good followers. If you talk about human right you should also talk about human duties and obligations". We know the solution to our problem and is either we divide the country or practice true federalism. Is bout the system.

Seun Kuti said there are different kinds of unity. Unity of culture/ethnicity and Unity of purpose. In the USA(Racism) or even Britain(the Irish hate the welsh etc), they're not united at all as countrymen but there's unity of purpose. They know what they want for the country and it's for their commonwealth to be used sensibly for every citizen's benefit.
Don't let our government/political parties fool you. Unity of purpose can exist without unity of ethnicity. Even if we part ways, each ethnic group will still suffer from Unity of purpose.

Pacesetter123:
There is no African city that can be compared to most Nigeria cities except those in Tunisia, Egypt n South Africa.So u people should stop all this shit hyping about Nairobi,Winhauk.Small cities of about 3.5 square kilometers na im una no go allowed me hear words

Algiers, Tunis, Cairo, Nairobi, Windhoek, Tripoli, Casablanca, etc. Yes, Lagos is big, but that's all to it

You don't know what a Skyscraper is do You?

You specifically mentioned that you saw a building not up to 22floors that's what I corrected.

What are you people hustling in Lagos that is different from other states in Nigeria?
What is it in the environment that is different from other states?

No be everything you go understand... Something's are better experienced than being told.

Lagos State

Brothers, it's ok. @forgiveness.
Lagos City that, Lagos Isale Eko this, Lagos Atlantic that.

Sanwo Olu no dey find Chairman for Ministry of Urban Planning nau. Let it go sirs.

Take 21 million people, 95% of who are existing below the poverty line, concentrated in an area of less than 1385 square miles and what do you get? ...I’ll leave the answers up to your imagination. Lagos would have been a lot nicer than it is, but challenges arising from the insanity that everyone needs to live in Lagos (or else nothing) is killing that city. It is possible, you can live elsewhere and then visit or vacation there whenever you feel like. For me personally even though I am a born and bred Lagosian, on my return from my long sojourn abroad I will most likely be settling in Ibadan, Abeokuta, Ondo or anywhere in the SW for that matter.

If this are the places you shot to prove lagos is beautiful, you are not doing well at all, when there are better places.

KunleyY19:

Alright but I think those bank HQ are more than 32 then. They are actually the tallest structures I have ever seen anywhere in Lagos and the truth is I never took the time to count the floors carefully.

Lagos City is far more developed than Nairobi, Kigali and Windhoek.

Oga remove Kigali from there. Kigali used to be the neatest city in Africa that was in 2016 or so. My friend turned it to his mecca. What is Lagos known for?

Cybercop2002:

A Portuguese, Ricardo Amâncio, tells BAYO
AKINLOYE what thrills him about Nigeria
Where are you from?
I’m from Portugal, Setúbal; for reference, it is
the city in which the great Rashidi Yekini
revealed himself as a football star.
What do you do?
I work for a multinational company
headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal. My job
consists of monitoring all 54 African
economies and identifying investment
opportunities. If anybody has a great
business idea or start-up that he or she
really believes in, I can try to get in touch
with my team so we can work together and
potentially invest in the person’s business. I
do my part in telling the society that Nigeria
and Africa in general, is becoming a really
exciting place for business – full of people
with entrepreneurial spirit.
Despite facing some challenges, I truly
believe Africa is on the right path to
prosperity and Nigeria will emerge in the
medium term as one of the most prominent
economies in the world. In addition,
Nigerians have to know that they have all
the conditions to become a world power.
They just need to adjust some paradigms,
believe in success and keep working hard.
What similarity do you see between
Portugal and Nigeria?
In both countries, the majority of people
know when it is time to work and when it is
time to party. In Portugal and Nigeria,
people work hard, then party hard. In
common, we also display a great spirit of
sacrifice when the person knows that the
reward is worth the effort.
Are you married to a Nigerian or have a
Nigerian partner?
No, I’m happily married to a Portuguese
woman.
What’s the first Nigerian food you tasted?
I think it was pepper soup – a little too spicy
at first. But I still ask for it from time to time.
What Nigerian language do you speak?
I was taught several Pidgin English
expressions but at this moment I can only
remember, ‘Anything for the boys?!’
‘Nothing dey!’

Do you think tourism is all about seeing Giraffes and Ostrich?

Have you heard about business tourism and religion tourism?

That's what people comes to see in Nigeria and Lagos beat Kenya in that.

You are fooling yourself if you believe a country like the USA has cities that look like Oshodi, Makoko, Mushin, Adjegunle or massive sections of the city that look like that.

The ghetto in the USA has central sewage, central water, side walks, nothing like open sewers and gutters, traffic lights, street lights, clear road markings, pedestrian lights

The ghettos in the US are far better than many parts of the Island

He goat between me and you who is the fool here
Google about it if you doubt me
Many slums are in the US Even Germany and Mexico so shut up
its a shame that we have peope like you defaming this country

Cashsteady:
Lagos is bae and it's actually better than many cities in Africa.. have watched videos of Accra, Kigali, Kampala, Rabat, and co and I tell u it's all nothing to write home about.

Lagos is a mega slum

Pls dont ever compare lagos and Kigali in ur entire life
