Nigerians we need to be honest with ourselves. Africa is leaving us behind. Have you seen what Luanda is building or Nairobi or Addis Ababa of today. Our cities are a joke, noisy, disorganized, dirty, rotten and decaying from Lagos to Abuja to Carlsbad to Enugu to Kano Ibadan and ilorin. Nigeria is a shithole!

SpicyMimi:

My major problem with Nigeria is that pulling of generator rope everyday! Like why is it so difficult for Nigeria to have constant electricity...or is it impossible in Africa? Someone pls explain to me as this almost got me crying thinking about it.

Just fix electricity, Road and water, Nigeria go bloom. Companies are businesses will spring up at almost every state, I know like three companies who had to shut down business due to lack of electricity. As things don high and had to run gen 24 hours everyday except Sundays.

FuckTheWorld:

[s]You're as your moniker suggests...junk!

We know people like you... Ipob [/s]

People cannot innocently air their opinions without being tagged IPOB?

Are you suffering from some sort of complex problem or you are just acting insane?

FuckTheWorld:

Shut up!
Have you been there before?
The same Johannesburg slum I watch on aljezeera or what?

Let their fake pictures be deceiving you.

I know Nigerian leaders are complete failures but South Africa is no better than Nigeria in anyway.

That guy is Right, forget about Your Aljezeera programs you watched sincerely you can NEVER compare JOHANNESBURG with LAGOS.

MPESA:

Liar

To be sincere Lagos needs to be replanned and reorganized these are the two things lacking. The governments trying but they can make this happen.

The truth of the matter is we can not compare JBurg to Lagos it should be compared to Abuja everything seems to work to some large extent at the capital

Is it possible to replan Lagos and instill sanity just like Fashola did.

But what I won't accept is mockery from SA e dey pain me they scored a very cheap point.


Reorganization and replanning of Lagos should start from main Land they should stop neglecting mainland it is the gateway to Lagos. Sanwo Olu start something abeg

FuckTheWorld:

Liar

Alright but one question for you before we know who is lying now..... HAVE YOU BEEN THERE?.

This is one of the fools that would start shouting fowl when this Mr. Bones People start doing them strong thing...Better start preping your bags to come back as shits is about to become real for you guys over there!!!!! my friend shatttaaaap there. I am in johannesburg as i type this and i say your so called lekki, VI or ikoyi cannot even compare to soweto or some rundown areas in joburg. I am nigerian and south africa is 1million times better than nigeria.[/quote]

@TMKsouth

I know you're South African and I have bashed you on a thread before, but on this, I won't even deny that Lagos is a very dirty city. Yes, we need to start fighting for our society to be better... Just remember that regardless of this, if your people still try to kill Nigerians in the name of Xenophobia, it wouldn't end well for you guys. Nigerians in SA will defend themselves, legal or illegal migrants.

Peace.

oga every place get him own even Johannesburg has more slums than Lagos

South Africa is not better than Nigeria in any way, u mean that or you are deluding yourself

Iamundisputed:



And na the bastard politicians dey make life terrible for youths wey wan stay Naija. Is it easy to be pulling generator rope everyday just to have electricity for a few hours in this modern age?

The truth we are hiding from will be told by foreigners. An ordinary Ghanaian man had the guts to demolish our High Commission's building, it shows they don't respect even our government, talk less the citizens.

let the truth to told PDP might not be saints but during their time Nigeria �� and Nigerians has more respect than this APC party their never care about the image of Nigeria �� or Nigerians in diaspora.

FuckTheWorld:

Who cares about what you like or not?
I'm not disputing that Lagos is not unorganised. All I'm saying is, south Africa is no better than Nigeria in any way.
When you want to compare Nigeria with an African country next time, try Egypt or Morocco or Tunisia... And not a savage country like south Africa.

Sorry to burst your bubble bro, almost every African country is better than Nigeria. I don't know why we're so delusional. Compare all the indicators of development between Nigeria and other African countries. Indicis you can base your comparison are
1. Average power supply
2. Road network and transportation
3. Maternal mortality
4. Infant mortality
5. Inflation and stability of currency
6. Unemployment rate and underemployment
7. GDP and GNP
8. Health Insurance
9. Global peace index and insecurity
10. Healthy life expectancy
11. Percentage population below poverty line
12. School enrollment and Literacy level
13. Gender inequality
14. Corruption index.

Compare Nigeria to any other African country using the above index (Google can do a good job) and see if Nigeria is not the worst place on earth.

Iamundisputed:


Of course. If SA was ugly my people wouldn't be going there for tourism and education...

But we're not doing bad economically. At least our population helps in that regard. Abuja is also a very beautiful place. Places like Accra and Jo'Burg and co could never compete with our ABJ!

what is the purpose of the economy if it does not reflect on the environment, infrastructure and life of the people.

Iamundisputed:


In terms of organisation, Lagos is not a model city. Talk about transportation, environment and general infrastructure. I haven't been to Jo Burg, but my mom has... I've been to bigger cities in Europe as I studied in Germany. I have also been to a few African countries as well. While we are not competing, you need to understand that organisation is what makes a city called a city. I lived all my life in Lagos, and I can tell you Lagos is very dirty, if not for trade and commerce, it would be a very bad idea to live here.

PS: Next time be polite... I don't want to insult anyone as I love to debate intelligently. Please let's respect each other.

You cannot respond to every dog that barks on the street. You do not have to explain where you've been or not to anyone online just cos they don't agree with you. If your opinion is that Jo'burg is better than Lag, you're entitled to it. By that impolite response, you should know you do not need to bandy words with such person or honour him with a response.

JaceBlaze:


What?

Yeah.
Overpopulated slum!

Iamundisputed:
.
Johannesburg is not Lagos' mate. Even as a Naija guy, I know this. Let's not lie abeg. We can't allow the idiots in politics ruin our country and we start fighting online. If they post places in Gauteng/Jo'burg, Lagos can't compare o...
Even Lekki is nonsense to some people abroad ooo.

. go to Lekki and see flood everywhere, common proper drainage government can not do, go to jakande makert and see women selling inside flood potopoto as I speak. tueh!!!

lol its funny
how people compare gauteng to lagos

the same lagos with smoky over crowded 60's buses

what has tall building got to do with the development of a city

we all know nigeria lacks tech in infrastructures

almost all drainages are open , no big underground drainages,, even if there is
Nigerians will still find a way to dump refuse there!!!

no electricity
no security cameras

lagos is sweet on pictures
not in reality;!!


lastly all Nigerian cities are shithole

FuckTheWorld:
That looks like KUMASI in Ghana.


Don't believe everything you see online.

Don't mind them. Thank God he used his name. Some of them used Yoruba names to obtain International Passport, I have seen some of them using Passport with Yoruba names to apply for UK visa in Abuja.

On social media also, they use Yoruba names.Lagos has this type of problem because of them. Any legislation against waste disposal, they will complain. The population in Lagos caused this problem.Look at Aba with small population and see how dirty some areas have become.

JaceBlaze:


There's absolutely no need for us to do that because Nigerians are already killing each other.

Well, this is not a lie... I could argue, but what has been happening in the North alone will simply paint me a liar and hypocrite!!!

Honestly, Nigerians should lay off trolling any country for the foreseeable future... We and our leaders have finally succeeded in dancing n@ked in public!!!... Pity!!!

wiseone28:
Nigeria is not ready to develop.

Which city in the world you will keep seeing overhead water tank in every building?

Common public water our government can't provide.

States governors keep building inferior roads.

If person like Akpabio can be a governor of a state for like 20yrs, i bet that state will be competing with South African cities.

Though he stole money but he loves good thing.

The roads he built in Akwa ibom will take like 20yrs before needing any patchwork.

I used to think it's we the commuters that spoil out roads until I saw a pothole on a road that was built barely 6 months ago

The road used to be messed up, all of a sudden it was good overnight, my mind told me they've done their mago mago repair, just yesterday, the pothole is big enough to fit a full sized dog

JaceBlaze:


What?

if this is Soweto Lekki in Lagos is not Soweto's mate at all even cross river and Jos that are even slower than Lagos in development beats Soweta hands down. Don't compare.

jneutron4000:
If at all any region in Nigeria ought to be more developed and well planned, it meant to be the Ibo region most part of that region was destroyed in a civil war not more than 50 yrs ago, so the oldest structure or building in Ibo land should be abt 40-50 yrs old but you see Ibadan, Abeokuta etc are ancient cities which were built even when South Africans were still second class citizens in their space so keep quiet and respect ancient Yoruba civilazation. When we are ready to rebuild those cities, we would still preserve some ancient buildings.

I wish I could give you a hundred likes

the kind of people forming Nigerians that Seun has on his forum are bunch of useless people that idoit you quoted wanted to turn the thread to yoruba vs igbo

gone are the days wen nairaland had intelligent people all this noise making neighbor would think twice before throwing jabs at us

but correct this impression

there are many many ancient buildings in igbo land

Grgton:
what about other cities in Nigeria, are they better than SA cities? Forget all this you're saying, we have failed to build our cities.. From infrastructure, to Tourism, urban planning, Electricity.

Even the 20m Lagos population was a mere estimation. The system has failed period!!

System failure, why wont it fail when we are practicing unitary system in a multi ethnic society. There is little to what Lagos state government can do when the major taxes generated in the state is going to Abuja. I made mention about regional government in my previous comments, that was when we had a working system whereby people control their space, resources and their destiny.
How can we be practicing Unitary system in a multi National country like Nigeria and we are expecting proper organisation and development? Nigeria Federal government what to be in charge of everything in every regions. System failure then why cant we fix it by going back to Regional system of goverment or break the country, Even SA is not practising the nonsense system we are practicing in Nigeria.

Look at this one. Do you want to expose yourself or what?

I was looking at that Soweto pictures, i.e. a ghetto by SA standards and I was appalled on realizing that it's more beautiful than Ibadan, Abeokuta and other relics in the SW

Please respect yourself and don't allow them to know about your "heritage"

Trash but truth

I will say it anywhere Lagos state population is not up to 20million. Not even up to 10million.

The next census will surprise us all.

TMKsouth:


Cool man, I'm not fighting either. But your last statement is a bit naive, not that I support violence.

telling Nigerians to leave SA without telling SA to leave Naija. Dstv, Mtn, infact the entire multichoice, shop rite and other SA companies in naija should leave too. these companies are gaining more from naija.

pls lets stop comparing lagos to jo' borg. jo'borg was built by the white for the whites.if you remove the white man from sa then you wil u not need to compare.the black man mentality is what is killing us in africa
