ChimaAdeoye: Was watching some recent clips of Abuja hoods, and if i’m to be honest, parts of it eclipsed some of the cities you listed like Accra! I’ll concede though that South Africa cities are in another league altogether! With the exception of North African and South African cities, i reckon Abuja neighbourhoods (just neighbourhoods and not downtown/business-districts) beat those of other sub-saharan African cities! |

XANDERO85: Accra has no business on that list. But to 'ChimaAdeoye'' even Freetown, Sierra Leone and Cotonou are better than anywhere in Nigeria. His own inferiority complex is an another level. |

ChimaAdeoye: I live in the best part of Lagos. Yet, i feel like living in a slum. I agree new cities should copy Abuja and not replicate the mistakes of Lagos. 2 Likes |

Cjrane2: There is a reason why western tourists don't come to Nigeria. Instead, they go other African countries such as Ghana, Gambia, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Africa, Egypt etc. It is simply because of the crime ridden, filthy unplanned Sh*thole we call Lagos, A.K.A: the biggest city in Nigeria looks more like a congested, crime-ridden slum than a habitable city. I am saying this so that things will change about Nigerian cities, not out of any feeling for any particular city. We should not continue to copy and build nonsense as cities in Nigeria. Why for God's sake are they trying to copy the same sh*t in Anambra? Why not at least copy Abuja if you must copy something in Nigeria? Just look at other commercial capitals of other third world countries such as Jakarta, Indonesia, Manila, Philippines or Bangkok, Thailand. They are distinctly well planned with pipe-borne water, electricity, good roads and good transportation systems to the different parts of the city. In Lagos, even Victoria Island that used to be the pearl of Africa in the 1980s now looks like Lagos! 4 Likes

Sunstorm95: It's obvious you're quite ignorant about how cities evolve over time. Virtually almost all cities in the world tend to grow in "height". Cities that had high rises of say 10 storeys in the 80's are now having having average of 20 storeys dotting its skyline. Same thing applies to cities like Onitsha and Aba you want to write off. In the 80's, Aba and Onitsha had mostly bungalows & one storey's, with few 2 or 3 storeys but today, they're having an average of 4, 5 & 6 storey buildings. I bet you, if not for lack of power supply, these cities be having much taller buildings now. Even Owerri, especially the New Owerri axis now has lots of classy 4, 5 & 6 storey buildings being built in recent times. Now, two things will happen in the near future when these cities evolve more. New and taller buildings will either be built in new areas or the existing 4, 5 or 6 storeys will still be demolished for much taller buildings. It is not impossible or that difficult to demolish. It is economic factors that will determine future developments. Igbos are capitalists and when power supply becomes constant, no one will buy a land for say 50 to 100 million only to build 3 storey on it. That is the time developers will start building 10 storeys or more to recoup their investments faster. Lastly, the buildings you call ugly in Aba and Onitsha is the type you find in Eastern European cities. 4 Likes |

Mayehunta991:You are right. What you are looking for, which is 15,000 to 150,000 naira job does not exist in East. Here we take our destiny in our hands and people laugh at you when they learn that you are salary earner. So it is better for you to relocate to North or west where salary earners have pride. It is not a new fact that right now, Lagos based Anambra men are scared to come home for Christmas because of intimidation from main market and Electrical men. Lagos based Igbo men are becoming poor in our eyes. And you know what you worth when people view you as poor in Igboland 1 Like |

Bkayyy: But Igbos are the most poverty stricken people in the South now.....World bank. Yorubas are the richest people in Nigeria.....World bank. In the advanced world,the lifestyle of the Yorubas which is not tied to petty trading like the Igbos',hold sway.This is why Yorubas are far more richer than the Igbos. |

post=95833125: There are four major cities within Lagos inaddition to other towns that are considered as cities in other states, and new cities. These four major cities are Lagos, Lekki, Ikeja, and Eko Atlantic City. The others are Ojo, Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry, Ibeju Lekki etc If we do rankings of cities between Lagos state and Anambra, which city in Anambra come close? 1. Lagos 2. Lekki 3. Ikeja 4. Eko Atlantic 5. Ojo 6. Onitsha 7. Ikorodu 8. Ibeju Lekki 9. Epe 10. Badagry Cities in Anambra will be at the bottom. This will be the case with most cities if compared to Lagos. 1 Like |

Re: Is Anambra State Catching Up With Lagos? (pics) by Nobody: 9:09pm On Nov 10, 2020 |
no state in Nigeria can compete with Lagos, not even oil rich Delta/Rivers or Anambra. Anambra and few other economic viable states needs high-rise buildings for a start to match with Lagos |
Re: Is Anambra State Catching Up With Lagos? (pics) by Nobody: 9:14pm On Nov 10, 2020 |
development is gradual.... Lagos didn't look like New York all of a sudden. Even with the civil war, Anambra is one of the best states in Nigeria.. it's something to be proud of, no basis for comparison with Lagos. |

forgiveness:Mind you Anambra is bigger than Lagos, Onitsha metropolitan covered many towns and LGs, Onitsha, Obosi, Ogbaru, Ogidi, Nkwelle, Oba, Nkpor, these towns are highly urbanized now refer as Onitsha metro, mind you Awka and environs, Nnewi are other cities on their own, there are other towns in Anambra that can be consider as cities in other states like Ekwulobia, Ihiala etc. Lagos is largely surrounded by Lagoon and many slum areas huge population of Lagosians live that doesn"t exist in Anambra state 4 Likes 1 Share |

post=95918012:No doubt you are correct!! but in Nigeria standard, is Anambra up to Lagos standard? ? in infrastructure, Economy, industrialization etc Anambra is surprising, and outstanding amongst any state in Nigeria, yet not almost catching up, with Lagos.maybe in years to come with a vissionary Governor. |
Re: Is Anambra State Catching Up With Lagos? (pics) by forgiveness: 11:27am On Nov 11, 2020 |
post=95918012: Anambra state is just bigger than Lagos state with 1,267km² and most are still largely towns and villages with forests. But you can't find village, small town or large forest in Lagos state. The difference is clear. I am not talking about metropolitan area, I am talking about developed cities in both States. If we compare between the two, no city in Anambra state will make top 5. Most people in Anambra lives in slum. Why? Because... A Slum is an area of a city where living conditions are very bad and where the houses are in bad condition according to Collins. Can you compare the living conditions in Lagos with Anambra? Is it better than Lagos? Do you have good roads, waste management system, water supply in homes etc in Anambra state? Most of those 4 stories don't have water running in their taps despite 3 families sharing 3 bedrooms flat. Anambra is still far behind Lagos state in everything for now. Anambra state can't even compete with Ogun state in development not to talk of Lagos state. |
Re: Is Anambra State Catching Up With Lagos? (pics) by Anambra1stS0n: 11:56am On Nov 11, 2020 |
forgiveness:Ogun indeed can only be compare to Abia, poverty rate in Anamba is low than Lagos, Lagos is very small city, you will understand better when you drive round Lagos on Sundays or during yuletide season, Lagos doesn't have functioning water supply, I live in best part of Ikoyi for three years, we all rely on northern meruwa for water supply before I move down to Ajah finally relocated to Anambra, Anambra have good and functioning waste management system, that operate 247, we don't have slums in Anambra unlike some areas in Lagos 4 Likes 1 Share
