What are you talking about sir?? You  seem to be contradicting yourself.

@TexMex that has been my problem you know. This huge divide between the rich and poor that is predominant in the north. Yes its a nigerian problem, but it seems there simply isnt room for the private sector to flourish in the north. Or the private sector simply keeps away from it? I dont understand.
Cos I mean, like I said, Im a born lagosian and I LOVE that city, but there was no plan for the population explosion and now, its like living in a jungle. Though the present governor is working, it'l take the joint effort of other governors working on their own states too, to reduce the lagos problem. Since people like mr. Igwe here believe one should always run where the grass appears greener instead of working on one's region to make it just as nice.
Most pople feel they havnt arrived until they live in lagos and this has led to the problems we have with overpopulation.
Now mr. Igwe and the like are running to abuja and Im wondering if this wont become like lagos in another 15yrs.
We cant be talking like lagos and abuja are the only places in nigeria. There are 34 other states and its quite unfortunate that the wealth and business opportunities are not being spread around

babapupa:

How do you reconcile both?

TexMex:

Thank you IGWE. Perhaps you can tell us how to own a house in ABUJA (and the financial outlay required). Point to note: ABUJA's an expensive place (with price of land/house going for hundreds of millions of NAIRA). Considering that many NIGERIANS cannot afford that much, ABUJA's a city for the wealthy government worker (official, civil servant, contractor and their aides). Private businessmen with little or no ties to government stay in Lagos.

C'mon guys, i was only responding to the Outstrip's post.

i will try to make this as brief as it can be;-

Abuja is cool indeed, but its not just meant for everybody ,likewise london, usa and even your village.

Thank God as a Nigerian, you don't need visa to come live in Abuja, you can if really want to, but the truth of the matter is , where will it be, suburb or city center , I don't know

Gold-mind:

When will southeast and southsouth look like this?

we need another person like paddy_lo to help bring us pictures.
that Lagos thread didnt rest.
but this thread has stopped. 
ah ahn! where are the pictures now?
