I lived in Surulere for years and I can tell you that there is no part of Lere that can be compared to Windhoek .

Read and comprehend before commenting.

I said the road looks like the road on Bode Thomas. Who compared Bode Thomas to Windhoek?

I just passed through Bode through Eric Moore, you can't compare any part of Lere to Windhoek .
I have been to Windhoek and I have also lived in Surulere , Windhoek is a well planned city with central water and sewage systems which are both impossible in Lagos.

The comparison here was not with windhoek. The guy said that one of the roads in the pics looks like Bode Thomas and it's true.

This is one street in Lekki, compared to the other cities I've seen Lagos is not beautiful at all because of the serious town planning and sanitation problems.

lol, it's evident you have not been to other African countries.

I've lived in lagos for more than 20 years and I must tell you the plain truth, lagos is nothing but an underrated slum where nothing works and MC oluomo boys have taken of the streets with chants of owo da.


50,000mah powerbanks for sale in Lagos, Nationwode delivery also available.

Bro south Africa yes but bostwana and Namibia hell no! Some parts in the island part of Lagos will bury the cities in those two countries this is fact! Lagos is actually beautiful just that most Nigerians are ignorant and don't love their countries

Use google to get a glimpse of Windhoek and quit arguing blindly.
Even Nairobi is way ahead of Lagos.

So those crappy pictures up there is your defination of beauty?
Mr man travel to Luanda, Cairo, Cassablanca, Tunis, Kigali, Nairobi, Cape town, Pretoria, Gaborone, windhoek and other African cities and see what beauty and well planned Urban development.

I used to hype Lagos like your type until I travelled to Luanda, Angola in 2019 and knew the defination of beautful city

The idea of " better than" is what is causing the quite unnecessary argument. Lagos does have beautiful areas that compare with any African country. We can talk about such areas being small isolated and not proportional to the cities size but we cannot say Lagos has no beauty in order to prove that other places are beautiful. The view crossing from Victoria Island to ikoyi with the Raymond njoku jetties on one side and the ozumba mbadiwe landmarks on the other side of the lagoon is breath taking. The scuba and deep sea diving on the Lagos lagoon as well as the several private beaches is exquisite and I have travelled to many European, North American and African cities.

"Better than" or such absolute terms have no place when discussing beauty. Beauty is by its very nature subjective.

i just laugh at those who compare some city with lagos only 30% of kigali is clean which is the cbd area you guy don't even know another city apart from kigal in Rwanda and you are saying shit ,if you visit lagos for the first time you won't know the slum area cause u won't be taking there when they is not you purpose for coming or when you guy travel to dubai or Kenya and co is going to the worst area there your goal or to go and enjoy life
From Ojota coming into Lagos is bad , I have lived in Lagos for 44yrs but whenever I travelled outside the country I feel very sad, even Abidjan in Ivory Coast has areas that are better than our own Lekki with central water and sewage systems both of which are essential part of a mega city.

Lagos!

Lagos is bae. Who disagrees?

After all, there are asphalt roads with horizontal lines, and high rise houses in Lagos; the only city of its type with no pipe borne water.
Who has heard APC PMB and governors talk about providing pipe borne water?
No Oyibo person say that a city without public water supply system is bae.

You are confusing state with city. Ikorodu is a town in Lagos state. Ikotun is part of Ojo town in Lagos state. Egbeda is part of Akowonjo a semi urban community in Lagos state and a suburban of Ikeja city.

Lagos city is a city in Lagos State and Yaba is part of it.

Yaba and Surulere are part of Lagos City and they are planned to some extent.


You are the real confusion.
Re: Who Said Lagos Is Not Beautiful? (Pictures) by thatigboman: 8:11pm On Jan 31, 2021
Originally lagos mainland were ebute meta, surulere, yaba up to fadeyi. That with the 4 lagos islands made up the federal capital of nigeria.
Ikeja, a sleepy town, capital of lagos state was 32km away.
With time, lagos metamorphorsed into a mega city

keyword you used here is "most Nigerians"...

what you need to come to terms with is

1 - the word Nigeria was not created by the people living in the geo-location called Nigeria.
2 - Nigeria consists of multiple ethnic nations which means ethnic nation A can be hateful of the progress ethnic nation B is making
3 - back to point 2, ethnic nation A and B are both called Nigerians but they have different goals and objectives.
e.t.c.

so please don't ever in your life use "most Nigerians" without taking into consideration the amount of ethnic nations within Nigeria and the fact that most ethnic nations within Nigeria have subtle hatred for each other.

Maybe you are the one suffering from insecure mindset of beefing and hatred for people who don’t even know u exist.

Beefing people that I'm better off? I'm not beefing my guy, I'm saying the truth. I don't know where you live in Lagos but I'm pretty sure you don't a quarter of where I know in Lagos because my job has given me the rare opportunity of transversing the state wella. You guys thinks life starts and ends there...that's my point
