14 Cities In Africa That Are More Developed Than Lagos And Abuja. by Workch: 11:23pm On Jan 18
I know Lagos is probably the most developed city in Nigeria by landscaping and second to Abuja infrastructure but going outside of Nigeria, Lagos and Abuja may not be able to compete with their contemporaries infrastructural wise.
This post is not to meant to undermine Nigeria but for us to see that we have a long way to go as a nation.
When I mean infrastructure, I refer to transport system, aesthetics, public water, organization and quality of life.

Nigeria is a very large slum. Let's tell ourselves the truth.

In your spare time, go to Google, type compare Nigeria with (input any country). You would discover we are only in par with countries like Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Cameron, and other war torn countries. But we're not at war!

The only thing we beat most countries is child birth and stupid unproductive landmass which has even be occupied by bandits.

The scariest part of it is that before we get it right and things start to fall in place, we'll be in our 70s/80s because its quite hard to build.

Okay, states like Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta (let me not even call Lagos) is bigger than numerous countries like Maldives etc in both Landmass, GDP etc. Those state should have their capitals more beautiful than those counties' capital. But what do we have? A group of people pocketing everything in their account while their demonic minions cheers them up and defend them.

An average Nigerian has become a beggar. Listen to them speak, you will hear extreme hopelessness. It pains me...

Dude, we have a long way to go. Should I shock you?

Cotonou and Lome are far more organized and have more infrastructure than Lagos generally and I don't even want to mention Accra. Nobody that has been to those cities will disagree, Lagos only has more economy and money but we don't see what they are using the money for.

The question boils down, if Lagos is as wealthy as Johannesburg, why is Lagos not as developed as Johannesburg? Think about it

You are even going Far, Accra, Dakar and Kigali all have better infrastructure than Lagos and Abuja.
All the cities I mentioned have better roads, drianages, transportation, serene environment, electricity and public water system than Lagos nd Abuja. We wey dey here go dey think say we dey heaven.

Cotonou that is just less than 150km away from Lagos here is far more developed than Lagos if you consider basic amenities.

I have been to these places.

You have inferiority complex and you want reality to mold to your complex rather than you addressing it.

GDP, Lagos v. The Whole Countries Talkless of Cities

Lagos: $266.55 (2021)
Ethiopia: 111.3 billion USD (2021)
Libya: 42.82 billion USD (2021)
Morocco: 142.9 billion USD (2021)
Algeria: 163 billion USD (2021)
Tunisia: 46.69 billion USD (2021)


So nobody knows what you mean by 'development' because Lagos is the #1 city in Africa by a distance

So, Addis Ababa is more developed than Abuja? I don't think so.
Addis Ababa is nowhere near Lagos or Abuja.

Lagos and Abuja are both well developed cities in world standard, we should stop inferiority complex. Everybody that travels like the op can testify to that. What we lack is maintaining culture. There are places in both cities that will make you feel like us or uk. Stop passing wrong information because you hate your country

OP is a very popular tribalist in Nairaland and hate anything South west.

Look at him trying his best to discredit Lagos but when the government want to make a proper change by taking down houses that are messing up Lagos plans he will also be the first one to open thread and cry how Lagos government is demolishing igbo houses.

The mental decay and damage is really a very deep one the most pitiful is seeing poor and wretched nigerias praising and supporting the same leaders that undeveloped their land and rendered them totally useless.

Nairobi is not more "developed" (as in built up) than Lagos.
But it is certainly more civilized and cleaner than Lagos.
