I don't think they meant Lagos Nigeria. There are many cities named Lagos around the world. Some countries that has cities named as Lagos include Greece, Portugal, Spain, Indonesia, Ghana, France, etc.

Lagos? Is Lagos even a city in the sense of it?
I have been to more than 50 cities all over the world, Lagos is nothing close to what a city looks like. Lagos is the worst city that I have been to in my life. Useless and hopeless place.
Even cotonou beat Lagos hands down. Not to talk of Accra, Gambia, Dakar, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Seychelles, Cape Verde, Tunis, Algiers, Morocco.
Haba, even in Africa, Lagos is the worst city that exists.
Been to Asia. Hong Kong, shanghai, Tokyo, Taiwan, Seoul. Many many others.
Not to talk of Europe.

Obviously it must be London.

A city lively and bubbly 247.

A city for all.

A city where you cut your cloth according to your pocket size.

A city where you can have it all.

A city where you can buy full chicken for N1000.

A city where food supply is bigger than the population x 100 times.

A city where everything works.

A city where public health is N01.

I love London city.

See Lagos island, see VI, Ikoyi, Lekki and d rest. Just rubbish. Go to cotonou or Accra or Dakar or Cape Verde and see. Not to talk of Asia or Europe or Northern America

Never Compare Cotonou or Accra with Lagos again...

I have been to all these cities, and the two I listed up there are not better than Lagos in any way like that...
The only thing they have is just the light, which they even take these days, so what are you saying?

BTW.... Dakar has a unique charm tho I must say....

Your problem is the problem a lot of Nigerians have and face. Lack of exposure. Until you explore other societies, you will never comprehend the full extent as to how phucked up everything about Nigeria is. Nigeria cannot be on the top 1000 list not to talk of the top 100. Accra, tallin, Riga, etc, are not on the list but Lagos is. Ok. I hear una. A city that is unbelievably dirty, ugly and dilapidated. Where nothing functions. Lol. To you, it may be the best thing since fried rice, but i assure you, it is absolutely horrible to say the least. Just because a bunch of people who don't know Lagos or ever been there are saying it is a great city does not mean it is. Smh

Guy, i am stunned that they would even put Nigeria on the list. This shows the limitation of the metrics they used to evaluate this cities.

The survey asked 5,200 people from 16 countries questions about their perceptions of cities, ranked on everything from transportation and infrastructure to demographics and livability. Question topics touched on politics, economics and social issues. PwC, a London-based audit and tax consulting network, polled participants in December 2015, before the Brexit vote.
In a recent PWC survey, London ranked No. 1 as the perceived best city in the world. London took the top spot, because people said it has a "well-developed infrastructure," is well-connected globally and has a "well-developed legal framework." The city also received high marks in education and access to capital.
Paris came in at No. 2 because of its reputation as a trend-setter. Also, people think of it as a great destination for entertainment and food.
New York City placed third because of its"economic power," entertainment, setting trends and "having a well-developed physical and technological infrastructure. "Points against this city — traffic congestion and high cost of living.Here is the official ranking:
1. London
2. Paris

I don't know who came out with this list. But I promise you lagos is not even close to the position it occupied.
All the major cities in the usa will definitely comes ahead. NOT to talk about the major cities in Germany, and other European countries. Common Havana Cuba is better than Lagos in terms of organisations.

Stop making noise about this slum called Lagos. Before Lagos should even be enlisted to compete in modern cities, they should at least have 6/7 electricity. How can a city in total darkness in the 21st century even dream to recognized? Just pathetic. Nigerians are so shameless, the best thing for Nigeria is to stop measuring and keep a low profile. Emerging better developing cities with 24/7 electricity in Africa like Johannesburg, Capetown, Cairo, Tunis, Maroc, Nairobi, Kampala, Accra can compete and not any city from NIGERIA that belongs to caveman age of darkness

I can think of 100 cities in USA i would rather live than Lagos.
Another 100 cities in Europe and Asia that would leave Lagos behind.

Lagos is coming together though. It compares well along side some South American cities. The only differences that most of the South american great cities have much older development with grand architecture, but many are slacking in their quality while lagos is growing quality steadily.
Lagos is not there yet but it is growing. Piped water and electricity supply alone make Nigeria rank below 199 cities. Then the cost of decent areas to live in Lagos is higher than many other cities with ten times the quality of living. Lagos is overpriced with very little true quality to offer even when they charge you big money for it. That keeps Nigeria low on the honest lists and leads the Naira to low value. When people overprice beyond international standards, currency value falls beyond international standards. And if you peg the currency, international interests will fall and move on to where quality is better and price is reasonable.
I have been to so many cities where i can live better quality than lagos at a much lower price than lagos. So i will go there next month and stay away from Lagos. grin
