NICE ..if only there was security in Nigeria

lion042: If you are sure that this is Lagos, my brother e makes sense die. The only thing again is to ban all this expired cars that's running there.

I dont know where you live guy but Nigerians have stepped up big time, cars are not that expenssive or rather i should say guys dont advance small

ROSSIKE:

My brother don't mind these people, many of whom have never stepped out of Nigeria so think everywhere else on earth is paradise. I used to live in Washington DC a few years ago. Yes the US capital. If you venture near southeast Washington DC you will regret your life. Even to come out of the place alive you'll be thanking your lucky stars. But CNN only shows you the beautiful White House.

I didn't want to post these pictures of Capetown on the other thread but I want to post it here for people to know that all is not rosy in Capetown. They only showed pctures that will attract foreign investments.

Good Job U did at least, ignorant people will learn a thing or two

Chineke God! Abagworo, are you serious that that is Cape Town?

The same Cape Town that people on that thread were using its alleged ''perfection'' to question the black man's intelligence, praising the 'white man' to high heavens?

Oh Oh Oh... so they even have ghettos and slums in Cape Town?

Thanks for the revelation.

Worlds number 1 state of aquatic splendour. . .Eko o ni baje o!!!

Lagos is enough evidence that good governance attracts Private Investment. GEJ needs to wake up.

purplebrown: Lagos

Note thread title says "GROWING BEAUTY".

You should know that no city in the entire world is PERFECT. The less affluent would always live within the same geographical axis with the rich as this is how society works.

It is people like you that when Fashola decides to demolish these shanties would still cry foul. I tire for Nigerians.

Gbam!

afam4eva:
By Ghetto i mean the standard of living in those places. That places like Ogba are not called ghettos doesn't mean they aren't. The places that are called ghettos in Nigeria are supposed to be Nicknamed "Hell fire".

Please!!! Who is this guy?

Keneking: Most of these pictures are on the Lagos Island...show those from the mainland areas. Anyways what is the intention of displaying the pictures? They have been there before AC-N took over power! In addition, there are no single government /public property in the images posted...all are private investments.

Now try and get a shot of picture from the pent house at Eko Hotel at night and you will marvel at the handiwork of God and the fooolishmness of man... ;

my friend new York, south Africa, hongkong, London all have not too tasteful hoods also. Appreciating some good amidst criticism wont hurt.

Abeg, na beta area una sabi snap, some areas wey dey lagos are abandon project.Y u no go snap those areas and post it on Nl? Over sabi.

Oshodi Lagos

new oshodi

Fashola pls tell your enemies that common sense is not common

I can't not believe some people are trying to rubbish this beautiful thread.

What exactly is their point?

Some people can not reason objectively anymore unless from a tribal angle ( AFAM )

It is only a fool that will say the current Lagos is not better organised with improved development than what it was 12yrs ago.

Finally, there is no developed city in the world without slums.

I was in BEIJING ( hope the spelling is correct ) when it won the most beautiful city in the world in 2002 and I saw slums in some areas.

@ ROSSIKE, THANK YOU FOR THE PICS

Good job, Lagos state government, if other state’s governors should follow your example and hard work, I think that we shall develop. Rome was not built in a day, but the Romans were not sleeping too. Let fasten the pace of our development, it doesn’t take centuries to develop a nation; hence the manpower and resources are there. His Excellency Babatunde Raji Fashola, please take a bold step in the meeting of the governors in Nigeria, to waken some sleeping governors, on how to bring changes to their respective states. God bless you.

He has taken picx of the island like you've said. Why don't you also do us a favour and take picx of the Mainland where you live. Until then 'Zip ur lips'...thankx!

Thank you bro.. You see, many of these small boys that didn't experience the Lagos of the 80s and 90s are the ones making noise here. Those of us who did will attest to the fact that the city has come a long way. Mainland o, Island o, the place has improved considerably. Some would say radically. I mean, rubbish heaps used to be all over the city, even on the island, back in the day. On the island all the sidewalks were broken, there was perennial flooding, the roads were a joke. On the mainland, places like Oshodi were a study in urban chaos. I personally plied through the old Oshodi on my way to school every blessed day, battle hardened by Molue fights, fumes and surrounding filth. Somebody posted a picture of the new Oshodi above. It's a world away from the Oshodi one knew and experienced. So when we post these images it's not because we think Lagos is now El Dorado, but because we know where Lagos is coming from, and where it is clearly heading.

Hmmm. The Lady Standing looks like Valerie!

I am Manny, and I endorse this message. Didn't I say the same thing?

SE scares the sh.it out of me, and believe it, the Capitol happens to be in the South. White House shows you Penn Ave. on the North West side(the lovely pretty part), they don't show u Penn Ave to the North East part.

Eko Ni baye oh! Ùpon al dis pix, VI has the most beautiful Structures...1004 estate inclusive... Mobil corporate hqt, oriental hotel, shoprite, etc...

Rare pics of the bright side of Lagos. Nice. Every city has its swanky area which is so often publicised that those not familiar with it may believe that the entire city is brigjt and beautiful. However, the brighter side of Lagos is not publicised as much as it should so I see this thread as a breath of fresh air. At the same time am wondering if these buildings are owned by Nigerians...if not...we need to think if this is really development or Nigeria is being sold out.

Please show us the other parts of Lagos like Oshodi, Mushin, Agege, Ikorodu, etc and lets us enjoy the real growing Beauty of Lagos.Enough of propaganda.
