Are you dying for my attention, dude? Ekiti still cleaner than most part of your Lagos.
What's with the stalking with several IDs? Please control yourself and whatever it is that is scratching you down there.

Ileke, you were spot on, not until u uploaded those Ekiti Pixs. It makes me wonder if its no longer a comparison between Nigeria and Kenya (1960s) but a comparison among states in Nigeria. Are you a bigot?

My dear Ileke used to be a very lovely person before she turned to a bigot. I used to love her posts back then. Its so sad mehn

I didn't even see this reply.
Me? A bigot? Create a thread for that, but right now let's focus on the degraded state of Nigeria.

Ileke - that is why I said probably, since I don't have pictures and in no position to find any.
I have indeed visited Nairobi (although not in 2012) and there is nothing really to write home about, and even with way Lagos was at the time it would still top comparable parts of Nairobi.

Still, the fact remains that you cannot compare 1960 Kenya to 2012 Nigeria.
Compare the same years and you might have something if you make the locations also comparable.
You can't for example compare Ado-Ekiti/Akure/Osogbo to Nairobi - you 'll have to compare Abuja to Nairobi (in 2012) or Lagos to Nairobi (in 1960).
In fact, picture-comparison of cities is a red herring unless you are focused on specific equivalent spots.

Ileke-IdI:

Which way are we supposed to talk about Nigeria? Are we supposed to lie and sugar-coat the situation?
Please offer me pictorial evidence that supports this argument. Infact, if not pictorial, some evidential comparisons.

Don't even try me. You can't expect something from someone else that you yourself arent willing to do.

I see what you're saying. However, the pictures I've posted after the whining by ROSSIK are not only of Nairobi.

Why not compare Kenya and Nigeria when Kenya has shown us physically of its development, while Nigeria draws backwards. It's a shame that Nigeria cannot compare to a developments of another country from 50+ years ago.

Gosh! I'm tired of copying pics. I might be back in the evening with more pics (particularly pics from the '50s and '60s).

Pictures from the thread "Nigeria: The good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly".
