Ajibel: Actually, it is you who tragically misses the point. What they mean by that is that, out of the indices in which Lagos was scored, it was in culture and infrastructure that it got its highest scores, NOT that it scored highest among those other countries. Let me elaborate. Supposing you sit for a JAMB exam of 4 subjects (English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry) with 100 questions for each of those subjects (for a total JAMB score of 400), and your scores end up like this: English - 16 Maths - 29 Physics 35 Chemistry - 11 Meaning a JAMB score of 91/400. With a pathetic result like that, it can be deduced that you scored your highest at Physics, followed by Mathematics, but scored your lowest at Chemistry. That doesn't mean you emerged the overall best Physics candidate and also ranked overall 2nd best Mathematics candidate. It JUST means those were the subjects you got your highest scores. It doesn't change the fact that you're an epic failure. And you also still won't be gaining admission into any university with that type of score. Simple English comprehension. 6 Likes 1 Share |

goonsmi:Don't you think it does, have you heard of the word urban migration, how many times do they catch Boko haram Terrorist in Lagos state, How many times do boko haram issue threat to attack Lagos, how many times do militants issue threats to attack Lagos...Lagos witness the highest number of migration than any other city in Nigeria....considering the size of Lagos and the population progression.....that makes it inhabitable in their indices, How stable is Lagos compared to the cities they ranked....is there any emergency number that is working in Lagos if it does how often and rapid respond to attend to emergencies, can you call police by 2am and they got to the scene within reach,what about the street numbering system are they easily accessible for security agents to get to the site of incidence,How many air surveillance mechanism do Lagos have apart from 3 expired choppers bought from Caverton and 1 air ambulance to accommodate over 22millions in Lagos, How conducive is kirikri prison, How many health care facilities do we have in Lagos if any are they affordable to about 80% of the population which are lower and middle class people, all ex convict in other states are taking Lagos as their safe haven, ....Bros think about all these and thank them later for giving you a yard stick for improvement rather than criticizing their index 2 Likes |

The problem with majority of Nairalanders is that they can't have a discussion without tribalism or displaying their ignorance. I read the article on The Economist and they're correct. Albeit, Lagos is Nigeria's most developed city and commercial hub, however, the city has a long way to go in infrastructure, pollution eradication, water supply, greenery, pedestrian track, quality health care for its residents etc. Generally, most African cities are not fit for a healthy lifestyle; noise everywhere, dirts, poorly constructed roads, pollution. We need to invest in infrastructure and most importantly in human capital development because no matter how developed an area might be if her residents aren't properly educated, it's of no use. Nigerians need to stop this their suffering and smiling attitude. It's embarrassing and sickening. 6 Likes |

[size=17pt]As a lagosian and a yoruba man. I agree with this report. Lagos is not stable. Agbero today, Area boys tomorrow, Omo onile, Armed robbers, Igando militants e.t.c. Plus many slums and ghettos. Its true lagos is developing to be a megacity, however a lot needs to be done to improve live in residential areas like AGege, Ogba, Obawole, Ajegunle, Mushin e.t.c. Lagos is building more cities. They dont care about the existing mainland[/size] 3 Likes 1 Share |

lexyclasy: GBAM! You have to understand that most Nigerians are INCREDIBLY ignorant because majority haven't stepped foot outside the country to experience how things really should work in a serious-minded society. Can you believe that many Nairalanders' understanding of "infrastructure" is posting pictures of city aerial views without elaborating on how things work? Does Lagos have a truly independent local government system? Can the mayors map out budgets, raise funds, embark on projects, and make decisions on their own without being appendages and EMPLOYEES of the state government? Do Lagosians even DRINK or use the water from the Lagos City Waterboard? Does the Lagos City Waterboard EVEN adequately supply water to transverse the length and breadth of the area under its administrative jurisdiction? A city of 22 MILLION people has no FACKING subway system of its own in the 21st century!!! I live in Columbus, Ohio; a city of just around 850,000 people, but all these facilities are present: railways, road networks with subterranean water pipes, decent and well planned markets, CITY police (not even STATE police oh!) and on top of that, a network of primary and secondary schools that are CONTROLLED by the CITY (NOT EVEN STATE!). But you see many Nigerians come out here and make noise about the gutter they live in while PRAISING their oppressors (politicians) for PATCHING up a road. Infrastructural decay isn't even Nigeria's biggest problem. The sycophancy, ignorance and moral wretchedness of its GOVERNED class, are the country's biggest foes. 7 Likes |

Lilimax:Some of these white people that come up with these useless statistics are just plain dumb. I was taking the report serious until I came across this quote as their reason for such poor ranking of Lagos: "Continued threats from groups like Boko Haram acts as a constraint to improving stability in Lagos". Please how does Boko Haram that hold sway in far away North-Eastern part of the country have any kind of direct effect on Lagos? Instead of our people to read and question the objectivity of this report, they see as an opportunity to instigate a tribal war and bash Yorubas like Lagos is solely occupied by Yorubas. Really unfortunate. |
