Ishsoph: @ Op this is really a breathless chase. was actually in Ceddi plaza this morning, precisely at GNC to get my mum her agingwell food suppliment which i'v waybilled already. Lol you also captured my office(from where am typing presently). In all, you did justice in the capturing cos you virtually got 60% of Abuja(I could title it "Abuja at a glance" though). BRAVO!

chucky234: Funny, oya bring your head out of your office window let's see you to confirm that you actually work there, remember to tag your moniker on your chest ooo.
lol

CFCfan: ^^
To be fair, it's been only 22 years since IBB officially moved the Seat of govt to Abuja. With the ongoing plans for a World Trade Centre and other recreational facilities, I believe the Abuja environment will be more bubbly than today.

Jimmy Boy: The world's capital of corruption.

Eko Ile:



^^^^^^^ Main Uni in the same ugly federal capital. This is your reality.

Rossikk: You must be mistaking Abuja for Washingon DC or London. More corruption occurs in those cities in an hour than happens in Abuja in a year.

Doff_Man:

Big lie, and you know it

bloggernaija: A soulless city. Just like Milton Keynes in the United Kingdom , Abuja lacks character and is nothing but an emblem of waste and corruption. A capital city that has no correlation to the plight of its people.no wonder it empties out on weekends and during public holiday.
While China , Korea ,Thailand ,Taiwan ,Singapore ,UAE,Indonesia,Malaysia ,chile ,even Ghana etc where busy gearing up and retooling for the 21st century, nigeria was busy building a mirage.a so called showpiece.
Even brasil stopped wasting money on brazilia (the capital from which the Abuja was copied) and concentrated on where the true wealth of the country was made , kept and people lived.camberra (another show piece capital)was not created at the expense of the other cities.
Let us just keep deceiving ourselves .
The thieves have built themselves a fort and have thrown away the keys

pato405: But why can't these pulchritudinous developments be replicated in other states? must it be Abuja and/or Lagos. How will Nigeria rank among the first world nations when there's inordinate focus on these two cities...

As much as these pictures are beautiful, they are a true (but sad) reflection of the prevailing inequalities, the dichotomy, yawning chasm and abysmal gap between the rich and the poor. An attempt to create the phantasmagoria of the Nigerian elites (& political rogues) to the ludicrous spite of the impecunious.

Rossik or whatever you are called, you deserve public trashing

anyway, just keep them coming...

speedyboi: ABJ Rocks! Rossick, please stop replying these lunatics.

EKO ILE, please speak for yourself in all your posts. thanks. Abuja residents do have sentimental attachments to the city.....we are not just jobless enough to carry it on our foreheads, Atleast like Lagosians do. Your love for Lagos has blinded you. Oh! you think life starts and ends in your overhyped Lagos abi? Sorry, I'm not bored here......and i really detest the kinda 'gragra' life in Lagos; that's why I can't even dream of living in Lagos. You need to know, not all Nigerians have your taste...
Coming from a Lagosian, I can tell your definition of a 'lifeful' city is 'madness'. And your definition of 'lifeless city is definitely a 'sane city'. Thank God anyways that Fashola is gradually bringing sanity back to Lagos.

Rossikk: Actually it is you who needs to educate yourself on what's really going on in the world.

Rossikk:

Comparing Abuja to the village of Milton Keynes is a gross insult. Kindly retract.


What exactly does it mean for a place to ''lack character''? It's one of those terms bandied about that signify little. Washington DC is the US capital. It's a very serene city, not bubbly like NY or LA. Not every city has to be bubbly and congested to be worthy.



Name us ONE city that is an emblem of decency, probity and honesty.



What did you expect? A capital city filled with slums, in order to reflect what you consider to be the ''plight of the people''?



It only ''empties out'' in your head.



There we go again. What foreigners do is always better than what Nigerians do.

You forgot to list Paris, Milan, New York, Rome, Genoa, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston.



Ghana was doing what?



First of all Abuja was not ''copied'' from Brasilia any more than Lagos was 'copied' from London. Just because both cities were purpose-built does not imply that one was ''copied'' from the other. They both have very different masterplans and objectives for their development.



Why don't you start by labelling yourself a thief? Afterall you are living middle class and surfing online while your countrymen are 'starving'. Kindly return all the money you stole to do all that. (Surely you don't think you have the monopoly on blindly labelling other Nigerians 'thieves'?)

Doff_Man:

Yes, American and British are corrupt MoFos while Nigerians are saints.

alumnidoggz: jeans no dey ever fit chinko.i dey wonder why?

Rossikk: Aren't you a Nigerian? So how much have you stolen today?

Doff_Man:

Just a little bit above what YOU stole!
