U guys will just pick pen and write rubbish,
How many cars and human uses those street?
Nigeria seems to be the largest black nation in the world and the numbers of cars in Lagos is even more human in some of those city u posted
Although corruption is killing and bad leader but comparing the most densely and populated nation of our to those tiny country is an insult,
Some of u guys have not travel from ur crave
Stop disgracing Nigeria. OK

matrixme:
Nigerians will never see anything good in their country. Just because someone used a good camera phone to snap some streets in their country, so we have to chop okro over it? You too snap some fine places in your country too and upload it. Chikena!!
Someone is even saying that he's not sure that Abuja has places as fine as those... This our Abuja abi? or another one....?
You must not have been around very much

RuudVanNisteroy:

You need to grow up and stop trolling others all in the name of mentioning- I mentioned Eko Atlantic and was giving kudos to Lagos.

You need to grow up and stop creating senseless threads about Tinubu and Lagos- You love corruption and don't like accountability.

You need to grow up and stop drawing plans on air .. We need action not just talk.- We first need well travelled people like you to stop ass licking fantastically corrupt politicians for the country to move forward.

Minxie:


Again, avoiding responsibility by blaming the use of a good camera.

The fact is that even if a really good camera was used and even if the person only walked around posh areas,why can't Nigeria learn something in terms of town planning? I see people complain about lack of sidewalks all the time on nairaland. SO why not look at Namibia and say: "We should make ours like that too". But, instead, energy and productivity is focused on trying to disprove the op's claim that these countries have organized cities.

Also, i would like to add that most suburbs have sidewalks and municipalities regularly keep streets clean in those countries. Roads are upgraded in every town or neighbourhood. development isn't restricted to their capital cities only and those places actually look better in real life than on the pictures.

RuudVanNisteroy:

Look at what visionary leaders are doing building and maintaining infrastructure in Botswana and Namibia ranked the least corrupt on the African continent. You're well travelled and still support the fantastically corrupt leaders that have brought shame,poverty and hopelessness to the nation.

Problemkid1:
I heard someone is comparing Abuja with Namibia cities. Well this is Abuja.

RuudVanNisteroy:

Both countries are ranked among the least corrupt in Africa and that is what sets them apart. When majority of people in a society are contented with their life and are not materialistic, they will experience development.

tungamaje:


Well don't be pained that little Windhoek or Gaborone can rival 'almighty' Abuja. Those cities were developed with little resource whereas with billions of dollars expended that's all you want to show me about Abuja. Even you showed Abuja at night, which light powered those buildings and streetlights, Nepa abi generator? Look I am a patriotic Nigerian but let us waken our leaders, they are sleeping

Problemkid1:
More of Abuja

PROUDIGBO:
There's two standards in city planning and road construction: the world standard and the Nigerian 'local man' standard!

Our major problem is the kind of local touts that insist on being part of governance and the leadership recruitment process! These idiots go abroad and see high standards of city planning and maintainance, yet come back home and build substandard roads with nasty open gutters and no provision for greenery! If they strictly adhered to world standards, they wouldn't have enough left for stealing, and wouldn't have the opportunity to hand the contracts to the ill-equipped and inexperienced construction coys they or their friends own!

fraudsters,drug barons and ritualists have insisted on being part of governance and the leadership recruitment process

ruffbamreal:
OP, after drinking a sachet water in public places, where do you throw the sachet? On the ground or bin?
This is where cities comparisons should start from.
Our environment tells more about who we are.

helinues:


I can see you are really struggling responding...

Probably you have exhausted all your creative tank box when we are just getting started.

Make I pity you small.... Now you can see say we be fish bones that you can't just underrate..

Dey your lane...

Tonymegabush1:
You all shouting town planning I tell you what, town planners in Nigeria does nothing all they are After is your building registration fee once you pay carry on even if you encroach road side work non cares I said these because I have managed three different building.

RuudVanNisteroy:

Town planners collected bribes and gave building permits indiscriminately.
They basterdized the city master plans in each city and the military administrators and politicians are also to blame.

Tonymegabush1:




During my first building experience me and my team went for a search in one of their office [town planners] they presented us with the city master plan prototype design we wanted to make sure of the land authenticity to avoid encroachment a careful study reveal to us how the area landscape would look like, I was shock that a lane which indirectly will connect major street as of then a building was on going in it,

Today a 3storey building has been erected in that lane. Na who authorize am if not them?

Even when you enter their office they are all like merchant sometimes they will even tell you to pay into their account while they in turn pays Government.....



Nigeria Government has a lot to do...

lx3as:
For a start, let's deal with open drainage first and corrupt town planning officials.

sinkhole:
I always wonder why Nigerian drainages are never covered

Firespitter:


No be only well travelled.

Who dash helinues monkey banana

Lubumbashi:
Lovely pictures. They all go to show that you don't have to dualize roads to make them beautiful. Just provide wide sidewalks and road markings with street lightings, signs and traffic lights.

helinues:


Chibukor, oya drop that goal post...

2/3 of your threads are all about Lagos and Tinubu yet you are neither from Lagos nor any part of SW states.

Like I said ystd, average Chibukor don't think things through before dropping the jargons.

That disgrace you have been seeking for, you don't get am.
