same oil built lagos before now. Dont forget almost everything in lagos you glorify was built by FG

Like I was trying to say in the morning before I couldn't go on: a city is more than just fancy roads. It is also about the availavlity of social infrastructure open to the public and also accessible by the public.

Below are pictures of some stadia etc in Iagos that are meant for just that

theDEVILisHERE:
Lagos is a shiithole
Abuja is better
Atleast more organized and civilized
The people there are also more sane and rational

Lagos breeds insane and irrational human beings
No comparism

Only out of sentiment or stupidity would anyone prefer that jargon called Lagos

londoner:
The reason you would have to leave obscenely early is to avoid traffic, no?

You just don't have to do that in Abuja. The road network means you will get to the airport within a reasonable time unless there has been an accident on the way.

laudate:


So even if you are going to the Abuja airport from Nyanya, you would get there within a reasonable time? Oga, don't let your hatred for Lagos blind you to reality. Abuja is not as big as Lagos, and quite a number of people still live within a reasonable distance to the airport, unlike Lagos that is much more densely populated. In Lagos, if you live in Maryland, Ikeja GRA, Allen or Opebi, you would definitely get to the airport within a reasonable time unless there has been an accident on the way.

You guys love showing night view of lagos but in the day time its an eyesore. Abuja dont need pictures to prove anything to you. Everything about Abuja speaks volume.

Another metric Lagos scores higher than anyother place in Nigeria is disaster management. In Lagos, it is superb! Nothing like it in glorified Abuja which is only full of bricks and concrete.

A modern city is also about having an installed capacity to respond and effectively manage disasters. In Lagos, the hotline is 112 and it works! Even from your Abuja, you can confirm this from you ur phone.

Place feed your eyes.

If you want to enjoy Lagos, live close to where you work. Honestly, you will enjoy it at a cheap rate. There are beaches everywhere and you can organize weekend trips. Cheap hotels for weekend relaxation, markets and shopping malls de plenty, food joints, and so on. Enter hotel, pay little and swim throughout. Booming businesses and thriving night life. Uber, taxify and local cabs are plenty

For Abuja, green trees, good road network but can be boring. Ajebutters are plenty here with too much forming. Cheap food but expensive accomodaton.

You can compare the two, if you like a cosmopolitan city, chose Lagos but if you like a cool place, with aesthetics chose Abuja.

Lagos can survive without govt fund, Abuja can't.

Yes, because reasonable time means taking distance into account. Nyanya is about 54 km from Abuja airport so if someone is driving at 60 km an hour it will take about 54 minutes. That's reasonable. It is far.
Lagos airport is situated in Ikeja so you don't expect someone to be delayed to the Airport same as some that lives near Abuja airport.

Name a place that is 54 km away from Lagos Airport and consider how long that same journey would realistically take.

Oga stop that exaggeration. Which Nyanya would take you 54 minutes to Abuja Airport? At what time of the day? From Nyanya to Abuja city centre between the hours of 7 a.m and 10.30a.m, would take you nothing less than 2 hours. If you have to go from Nyanya to the Abuja Airport, you would also have to leave early, or select a time when the roads would be less congested, in order to get to the airport on time, just like anyone going from Lekki to Lagos airport, would do!
