afam4eva: @everyone
I'm not a hater. What will i gain from hating a city where i live. I'm just being critical of the developments in Nigeria. That's the only way that Nigeria can move forward.

Criticisms are best when they are objective and not lined with sentiments

And from your comments I strongly doubt that you reside in Lagos

afam4eva:
I was just using a scenario to paint a picture for someone. You don't run into the middle of the road to ask why drivers are ignoring the zebra crossing. That will only cost you your life.

datola:

@Afam, do you live abroad and contributed to the developments in those cities. Why can't you be proud of your Nnewi Okrika cities for once instead of fighting over what is not yours.

Most Nigerians still live like slaves. Even if you are abroad and are related to Obama you should look forward to returning to your country one day and should join in every effort to develop, promote, package and hype it! Do you know how many would-be visitors are reading these posts.

The pictures are meant to show some positive good places to visit in Nigeria.

So, how come Lagos was not chosen to host the Olympics?

olivertwist:

I can't remember Lagos submitting an application to stage the Olympics not to talk of been chosen!

ekt_bear: Rossike: Well done, my brother.

oyb:

what happened? do we now have more street lights than enugu?

op knows exactly what i'm taking about

afam4eva:
They never submitted because they're not up to the task. Abuja that even put in to host the commonwealth games was not even chosen.

Rossike is not one of your typical Igbo tribalists, at least from what I have observed. Seems like a straight shooter in that respect (though I could be wrong).

My beef with him his approach to pan-Africanism...but aside from that he seems like a well-meaning fellow.

amosy007: why cant u do little reseach nd find out that south west have enough oil and gas to sustain them and all nigeria oil is not in south south b4 posting dis bla bla bla

solomon111: what gas does the SW have?
The only SW state with any significant portion of gas is ondo state,and they don't even produce much gas.
Nigeria's gas is concentrated in the SS/SE.

daylae: don't turn this into some ethnic squabbles. . . And yes,that will be helpful to met the future demand. . .but other alternatives are there. The ongoing eko atlantic city is projected to source for power independently for example.

afam4eva:
Dude, i live in Lagos, Nigeria..I'm playing my own part being been critical of everything and anything Nigerian. That's the only way we can grow. Don't expect me to sit here and tell you that Lagos is the best thing to happen to Africa. That will be a lie for sure.

amosy007: my friend google is ur friend and its free... Google ogun and lagos ... Dnt let us derail dis wonderful thread... Dnt be too naive

omo_to_dun: @afam4eva

Dude, I respect your tenacity in vehemently voicing and standing by your opinions. What I notice about Nigerians is that we are pleased with mediocrity and easily satisfied. Additionally, not only are we aggressively defensive when thoughtful criticisms are brought up, we resort to attacking the integrity of the critics.

As an American, I can tell you that no one on earth criticizes America more than Americans. We are completely paranoid. We are never satisfied. We always want the best. The unemployment rate is currently 7.8% but we are not satisfied. We(especially Californians) are always bitching about bad roads, health care, and education even though though they are top-tier. I schooled a bit in Nigeria and I can tell you that the difference is between night and day. If Nigerians had access to the same quality of education as Americans, Nigerians will rule the world in a few decades.

I want Nigeria to succeed and what I am seeing is not enough to make me jump up and down in exhilaration. What is the essence of a beautiful city without basic amenities? Is there constant electricity and water? Is there security? Are the laws being enforced? Does the judicial system work? Nigerians should demand more and not be satisfied with crumbs falling off the table.

datola:


Omo America, we are not talking about government performance here but about some good things we can showcase the world instead of your American media painting us black all the time.
