No be swear but satelite is so water logged and the roads are so terrible that the area will never get any better. It was fine before you left because traffic and volume of humans was less, today Lagos grows in leaps and bounds and things ever continue to deteriorate in the light of no infrastructure to support the influx of people.
You're right there.that area is congested!cannot be contained.shops everywhere and the road na die!Truth be told there is little the governemnt can do its left for those in the community to coperate and work together.

Yes, Fashola did not build them, they were built by your progenitors and your fore fathers developed Lagos. Between, how many mansions do you have in Lagos? Or are you not part of the Nairaland asociation of mansion-owners in Lagos.

NOT UNTIL YOU SHOW ME AJEGUNLE, MAKOKO, EBUTE META AND OTHER SLUMS IN LAGOS FOR EVERY BEAUTIFUL CITY THERE IS ALWAY AN HIDDEN foko, bere, itamaya, fagge sabongari and dala!
You obviously don't know what Makoko, the floating slum is inspiring for Lagos. That community is a big share of the future of Lagos. If you know the plans the architect that built the floating school made up from the slum, it would kill you. Google more on the African Water Cities Project (http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2013/03/a-vision-of-floating-cities/)
Also, every city on earth has its fair share of slums. Even the best of them, so what is the big deal?
And to those of you shouting that the city is no man's land, or that it is the Igbo's that brought civilization to Lagos, you're so wrong. Lagos is a modernist Yoruba city where lots of her Yoruba owners have worked progressively overtime to contribute to its present status.
You need to know that it's a big priviledge to have early contact with civilization, and to hold on to knowledge. That is the strenght of the yoruba tribe and indeed, Lagos.

lol you sound like a kid who receive fake orientation, it will not do you any bad if you avoid sentiment in your reasoning. Lagos is the collective efforts of the colonial masters who made it a capital and previous nigerian governments who build and create policies that attract investors nationwide and international, and also to the investors who came to invest in lagos wether Igbos, Hausas, Yorubas and other tribes including foreigners. Fashola's duty is to maintain and upgrade the dilapidated infrastructures and create policies that will attract more investors and more developments so when I made that comment I wasn't fooling around. Thanks.

Port Harcourt, Abuja, Calabar are also 'no man's land' using your warped logic. Go to Lagos and tell the aboriginals that Lagos is a no man's land. Eko o ni baje

Re: 10 Unbelievable Photos Of Lagos You Will Mistake For London by Nobody: 10:01am On Nov 09, 2014
Am sure those saying wow are those who have never been to lagos before. Those buildings u see are located on lagos island whose landmass is a small fraction compared to other places in lagos. Also most of those buildings are built by companies and not any government (except for the bridges), so quit hailing anyone be it federal or state govt. Lagos isn't what is see in the pictures, the only places with such highrise buildings are lagos island(vi, ikoyi, marina) and ikeja. What u'll find in other parts of lagos are the every day slums.

If you enter Lagos in a bus by 3-4 am, you see the beauty of Lagos. But when the day breaks and people pour onto the streets and roads, the beauty diminishes greatly. Overpopulation is the bane of Lagos. The Federal government should have made (or should make) effort to develop one major city in every geopolitical zone and catalyze the creation of employment opportunities in each major city, so that one city like Lagos will not continue to be overpopulated.

Unfortunately, in Nigeria, having multiple seaports and multiple international airports are viewed with tribal and political sentiments; yet, these are what made Lagos what it is today.

The truth is for Lagos to maintain its cosmopolitan status -a prime ctiteriion to attractin investors,structural beauty and global fame- it must remain NO MAN'S LAND as it has always been since Oba Kosoko ceded prime heartland to the British else we might have a set back up to massive proliferation of brown roof boroughs and slums like Ibadam,Oshogbo and Abeokuta..
