If you want high quality of living, your best bet is going “Down Under” or the “Great White North.” Source: http://business.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/31/the-worlds-most-livable-city-is/ |

and yet - according to them - the worlds most happy people live in the same part of Nigeria - Lagos. Or Nigerians are no more the world's happiest people? |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by ELEOVIE(m): 2:35pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
The happiest people in the world by the current ranking is Denmark. |

How come they never include Abuja in any of these rankings. Just another way to bring Nigeria down. |

No they are being true to themselves. Take Washington for example, it is not the most liveable city in the US yet it is the capital. Abuja is only abuja because of federal presence there. it cannot sustain itself like Lagos. I would prefer that they survey Calabar and Jos instead of Lagos. |

ELE-OVIE: Jos ke. Do you want us to carry last? |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by ELEOVIE(m): 3:03pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Well, Ive never been to Jos, so I cannot tell. I have only heard that the city is conducive for raising a family. |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by Afam4eva(m): 3:04pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
ELE-OVIE: That was before not now. They're biggest export right now is murder. |

Can you imagine? Honestly, I think that this country is not heading in the right direction in addressing our basic needs - food, clothing and shelter and giving us the most basic infrastructure (aka - bread and butter responsibilities of any government) - power and good roads not to talk of good education and health services. |

Okay let's be optimistic. Can somebody name one city in Nigeria that is nice to live in. We can rule out Lagos, Ibadan, Benin City. Any city at all. I need some reassurance this morning |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by ELEOVIE(m): 3:25pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Calabar is definitely nice to live in. Or are there any objections? |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by Afam4eva(m): 3:28pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Outstrip: There are relatively liveable cities in Nigeria. It's just that those cities are not commercial cities, that explain why they're liveable. Cities like Calabar, Enugu, Owerri, Asaba, Kaduna and Abuja. As soon as these cities start having some commercial activities like Lagos, Aba, Onitsha, Port-hacourt and even Ibadan, then they'll ceaze to be liveable. |

I was actually suprised they didnt put Lagos in the last position. That Harare must be a Hell on earth. |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by BigMeat2: 4:23pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Most of the statistics are unrealiable and always biased. Yes Lagos is not a city that is accomodating, but it has got real life and soul compared with other parts of the country. |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by allday(m): 4:51pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
I just think these stats are not classified, Lagos cannot be that Ranked low, there are some other cities in the middle east that should fill the bottom of that list, hahhah |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by sley4life(m): 4:53pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
i disagree |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by kabukabu50(m): 4:55pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Lagos is in no way a "liveable"city unless you have your thick skull deep in sand To be liveable a city has to have, 1)24/7 Electricity-Not the constant hum of generators 2)Extensive sewer network-Not open drains,septic tanks and heaps of filthy rubbish. 3)Well co ordinated Emergency service-not waiting 30 mins for ambulance/police or rescue. 4)Water hydrants-not Fire trucks hauling gallons of water 5)green areas for conservation-not concrete jungle. 6)Sidewalks,bike paths and parks 7)Access to transportation,lots of rail,road options to commuters Lagos doesn't come close to qualifying thats why its on the list, if your're mad about that, go beat your brains into a pulp. |

so sad, |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by Greenslim: 5:16pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
The population of Lagos is far bigger than those ones. |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by Digriz(m): 5:18pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
kabukabu50:u are right |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by Nobody: 5:20pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
the list is right! completely right, i think calabar is not that big to be in that list but the city is ok shaa, |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by Ben13: 5:23pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Who dare add Lagos in a list talking about "Livable"? CNN just likes patronizing Lagos. |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by diamondboa(m): 5:31pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Is this really true ? |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by Nobody: 5:48pm On Aug 31, 2011 |

afam4eva: guy u have to be up to be brought down!! 9ja is down and out right not |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by donem: 5:58pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
ELE-OVIE:you are right i dont think there is any realistic objecion to calabar the word there liveable was generalized it didn't specify in terms of industrialization, in that case i think calabar measures up well with lagos in terms of liveable considering the fact its a very peaceful place with a serene, green and clean environment |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by kadman(m): 6:12pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Ben-10: ha ha ha, u got me in stitches |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by dipo1: 6:32pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Lagos cannot be liveable because THIS IS LAGOS |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by tpia5: 6:35pm On Aug 31, 2011 |

Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by Nobody: 6:51pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Why is Libya not the most livable city in Africa or the world? As Gaddafi followers laid claim to here!. I thought Libyan cities are the best in Africa! M.o.r.o.n.s! |
Re: Lagos Is The World's 5th Most Unliveable City! by nasoeb: 7:50pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Most N/Lders are just asss hole. they dont know what it takes to be "Live-able" nor the criteria for such, yet they will be the first to go into disagreeing or argument as if they pay them for arguing. Most Nigerians like finding fault are disagreeing yet they can not offer anything. Ask them what makes Lagos live-able or why it shouldn't be ranked that low, they cant explain. |
