I am a Ghanaian originally from Cape Coast, but temporarily living in Lagos for business.

I categorically deny this ranking! Lagos cannot be just number 3, it has to be the worst. I can't imagine how another city could possibly be less liveable than this Lagos. I pray to God that I can return to Accra soon.

there are few places that are beautiful in abidjan .. places like Treichville, rivera then maybe plateau. Have you gone to Yopougan(my spelling is bad). Abidjan is just there. I like their pharmacy shops, samedi soir outings..

My business here is not done so I cannot go back yet. It's the same with Nigerians in countries even poorer than Nigeria like India or Cambodia, they're there to make money not because those places are better.

Neo-XVI:


Why are you attacking the op? Is he the one that came up with the rankings?

As per the rankings, I don't see what temperature is doing there as a criteria. It's not like any city can do anything about it's weather conditions.

This should be taken with a grain of salt, but it should indicate to us that we still have a long way to go and should not rest on our oars. All praise singers need to calm down grin grin grin cheesy tongue

Well said! The temperature issue is relevant not just what the environmental temperature is like per se, but the availability of reliable means of temperature control eg, fans a/c , heaters etc.

they didnt say you being safe, its a general statement and if you have never been out .you will never understand the mess nigerians have turned there country into...of a truth i have travelled so many cities in the world and yet to find any as disorganised,dirty, with no simple basic amenities,smelly and ransacked like any of naija cities...lagos is actually my worst city in naija. planning to see Bangladesh cos i have a friend here from there and its kinda close

You maybe surprised they are better than us. I got the shock of my life when I went to work in Maseru Lesotho in 2000 to 2004 and it found maseru to be better than any city in Nigeria. Then they had 24/7 electricity, Internet access, ATMs and sewage and regular water supply as well as a rudimentary medical emergency service and a Lesotho flying doctors service to reach rural areas by air. . They have an MOU with south Africa to provide highly specialized medical care eg heart surgery, renal transplants, all expenses paid by the govt of Lesotho. Lesotho, no bigger than Edo state is one of the poorest countries in the world that relies heavily on donations to survive.

My medical colleagues and I published their medical service structure in a journal in 2004 to illustrate how poor nations can strive in the face of challenges to assist their people.

What do you understand by worst? you mentioned countries in trouble to a peaceful one...read again bro. apart from mogadishu..the other have better, light, road, buildings, water,alternate transport and good standard of living. of course the observation could never have been carried out in those countries in crisis that is why in reporting a finding you hear something like in the SELECTED COUNTRIES...so among the selected ones lagos came third.

You're a daft goat. How do you know that the other cities ''apart from Mogadishu'' all have constant light, better roads, good standard of living'' etc? Because they are not blacks or Africans? So you think all places that are not in Africa must have constant light and good roads? IGNORANT GOAT. Somebody needs to take your dumbasss to KABUL, Afghanstan, or BAGHDAD, to enjoy their ''high standard of living and ''better buildings''''. OLODO.
