londoner: OP....are you a Nigerian?

My guess is that you are either from Ghana or South Africa.........

tim107: What nigerians are good rape and kill in hillbrow

Abrantie:

Don't Nigerians belittle their own country, cities, hometowns or people? Even if OP was from Ghana or SA, does that change the facts about Lagos?

tim107: Mtn is allover the world not just nigeria

ba7man: Their market in Nigeria is the largest. Mention one country with as much subscribers as they do in Nigeria. Nigeria is their golden egg. 147million subscribers in Africa, Nigeria accounts for 43million.

sheyie2007:
the SA dude is a lost cause.... uninformed, and lack exposure..

tomakint: ..and this is a city generating N300 billion monthly, yet miseries are almost in every nooks and crannies of a place they coyly tagged 'Eko o ni baje' and goons will invade a Jonathan's achievements thread that Fashola is working, hmmmnnnn.....wonders as they say will never cease to happen. The question now is, where are they channeling the N300 billion monthly internal-generated revenues into? This is a real, big SHAME

Obiagu1: The cost required to upgrade Lagos to a livable state is more than what will be required to build an entirely new city!
Worst case of urban sprawling with zero infrastructure.

sheyie2007:
Lagos has slums and beautiful places as well as Johannesburg.. but the media is interested in painting a bad image..my lawd even the US has slums

Rhino.5dm:
The OP is a mischievous goat suffering from acute dehydration. Most of those pictures are old . Imagine the toad posting 2000 pictures of Oshodi bridge and claiming to be recent?

Posting CMS of 2000 claiming to be recent? A place converted to a neat parking lots with sight of well planed green vegetation refreshing the mind? I was about posting the recent pictures to shame the goat before realising the mods did a wonderful job.

The deaf, blind and dumb bigots can say trashy things, but won't stop bright minds like Fashola changing the landscape of Nigeria.

Rhino.5dm:
Yes, But Lagos alone is far far far greater than your entire region in all ramifications. Lagos IGR is greater than the whole of south east put together, annual income is greater than that of your region put together.

How much will it take to make your region livable?

sheyie2007:
Go and sleep with your 3 year old.. thats what you black south Africans are good at...and stop posting old pictures here

eaglechild:
Gosh
This OP really got to you.
And who owns Lagos?

tim107: Nigerians needs south africa moore than south africa needs nigeria.

ba7man: I'v tried avoiding this thread but i'm forced to comment based on your posts. Are you white or black South African?? I'm sure you're black with the way you sound. You and i know that whatever attracts a Nigerian to S.A was put in place by the whites and you blacks there didn't do diddly squat. True, there are a lot of bad Nigerians over there and i strongly disapprove of their actions. If they get killed, no problem, they asked for it....and we're approximately 170 million. What's your beef with Nigeria?? Do they date your girls that ignore you?? I know a lot of you also hate us for that. At least be thankful we fought for your arses....If not, who knows?? You might still be in Soweto singing Apartheid songs and being shot at.

Rhino.5dm:
No one is from south Africa here, don't be deceived. He is from the group suffering from acute low self esteem that can only feel important claiming other places. The ediot I replied up there claims to be from south west and many other goats in his category claiming north or south south here on nairaland.

Check out this, 90% of those typing Lagos are not from southwest and who does that?

leaving your house on fire and crying more than bereaved on issues that doesn't involve you? No one is comparing Lagos with Manhattan, but we are inching one day at time. Heck, that city is taking shape by the day with the gentle touch from Fashola. Imagine the useless toad posting Oshodi of 2000?

tim107: Bleep nigeria and nigerians you wash, sleep, eat, school in river. Rejected by the whole world.the lost tribe. SA is not lagos where u eat snakes and shit in river! Nigerians have turn hillbrow into lagos where rape , kill and drugs. Every where go its a mess malasia , italy, kenya . We will fucken kill ur ass in SA. I'm going to McDonalds for breakfast and you can go and chase some crocodiles. I will be back and tell you how much I hate nigerians

ba7man: @Rhino.5dm. Can you belive this guy?? Advertizing eating breakfast in McDonalds as if its a big deal. What a Joke. 2000?? Kids born when those pics were taken can have legit sex by now. Xcept Makoko which can be cleared in a week save for the sentiment for the displaced occupants. Even Malaysia and other south East Asian countries have water side shanties so what's that "sanitary pad" chatting??

tim107: Nigeria came last of 80 countries researched. A new study by the Economist Intelligence Unit, EIU, has ranked Nigeria as the worst place for baby to be born.

The EIU, a sister company of The Economist, ranked Nigeria 80th out of the 80 countries considered for the study with a score of 4.74 out of 10, just below Kenya which scored 4.91.

South Africa, at 53rd position, was the best placed African country with a score of 5.89.

Four North African nations (Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco) as well as oil rich Angola were regarded as better places to bear children ahead of Nigeria.

ba7man: Who cares?? How is that a reason to give yourself headache?? How has that stopped me from moving ahead in life?? I'm in Nigeria but the people surrounding me will comfortably feed you. People over here are working towards improving our lot. What have you contributed to S.A to help her attain that position?? I'm sure you're unemployed.

tim107: that's why we like smacking you! Nigerians are smart but not intelligent. That's the same reason nigeria its a mess!. There is a high threat of kidnapping throughout Nigeria. Is what you call employment?? Selling drugs to little kids is that your employment? 419 scams?
