Will Lagos Ever Be Like Abuja?

Lagos was once like Abuja, that was many many years ago. not to worry i can assure you that Abuja will slowly but surely become like Lagos.Lagos has 1001 things wrong with it. it is overpopulated, dirty, it has no been properly maintained over the years and loads of other things.

let see how abj will look after under going the same process and issues.
it will happen.Dis is najia when nothting works for long enof

Sorry to say this but each time i am in Abuja I remember that the people of the nigerian delta whose resources were used to build all this are languishing in a diametrically opposite environment so I find it hard to appreciate its beauty.

I PRAY TO GOD THAT ABUJA WILL NEVER BECOME LIKE LAGOS!!

however, the truth is that sane-minded Abuja is fast becoming rough. Armed robbers are on the rise. Things are getting rougher and rougher everyday. Living in the town is expensive, so many people live in the outskirts, nassarawa border, kaduna border etc.

Many high-brow areas, very wide roads(and a lot of Okada motorcycle deaths, because they speed like crazy, causing more accidents),

ok, l would love to know somebody that resides in Abuja, l do go to Naija every year but heck i do nnot know any body there.

Lagos will be like Abuja in the year 3100.

Or

Abuja will be like Lagos in the year 2060. 

Lagos is dirty because of the society while Abuja is clean because the society is not allowed to be itself they are forced. I just pray Lagos doesn't become a Singapore nightmare with too many rules  jus too impress the world or too be like Abuja. C'mon hold on Lagos jus a few more years don't be intimidated or pressured dblock is coming. I'll make a city for the rich and poor Abuja is a rich man's city, where the poor are not wanted the government of the so called FCT can't take care of the poor they are more interested in buisness and in the rich. I won't let that be when I take controll of Lagos. My election campaign slogan is-"A city for the people you'll only find poor in dictionaries vote dblock"

To answer the question bluntly, No! Lagos can never be like Abuja just like other formumites have rightly stated. There was a plan for Abuja unlike Lagos.

The colonial masters only resided on the Island during their time, hence while V.I and Ikoyi are like they are.

However, if rebuilt or renovated, Lagos has vast potential in comparison to Abuja. I can just picture lagos looking like New York (like I said, I am dreaming it!). Lagos sure has a lot of potentials with it's s scenery and beautiful beaches. We can make parks and grow more trees. The government can come to some agreement to re-build houses with the landlords,

maybe someday

na rice? abi na beans?

Lagos will never be like Abuja because Lagos is overpopulated and Abuja is being maintain by federal govt while that of Lagos is from the state govt, but i bet you if the federal capital is relocated to another city in the future Abuja will be worse than Lagos

 Lagos remain and will ever remain the hotest city in Africa, even if Africa becomes THE UNITED STATES OF AFRICA (USA)No city can compare to lagos take it or leave it nonsense,yeye boy seems that your blind

 

we forget that this is Naija where anything can happen,  Who would have thought some years back that the old Oregun Road, Bank Athony Way and the moderenisation of Lagos Island would ever happen. Considering what it was all like 10 years ago.  Its just a start, but I admit, it has a long long long way to go.

 if FG concentrates all there developmental projects in Abuja, it surely will be like lagos.
And lagos also can be a better place to live in if the state govt decides to decongent lagos.

@dreamnaira

how can a a government decongest a state? Just curious.

Lagos can be like abuja,nothing is permanent,with determination of our leaders and trust of the people lagos can be even more better than abuja. Check calabar and no law but look what it is now
