The universities are the worst. I'll give it to them, Abuja is their only city that actually impresses me, but it's small. Eko Atlantic will never get off the ground - just 3 buildings in 20 years. I saw Enugu and the greenery a few days ago and I liked that too. Everything else always disappoints.

What's up with Eko grand grand? what's slowing the progress..? I always see those two towers and it's been a while. Qatar has built "Lusail', a new city in this period and it's gonna host a world cup final. I hope Ramaphosa's Lanseria city won't take this long

TMKsouth:


Isn't Maiduguri in an arid desert-like place? It's possible.

But all the videos I see are always dusty

IronGalaxy:
I firmly stand on my earlier assertions. good night

Goodnight buddy...

Lol , aketsebe what's up with Eko, eintlek. Half of Sandton was built in the time those two towers were standing there. Akere they were reclaiming the sea so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Mara I think there's a lack of investment.

Lanseria and all others will definitely be built, there's a track record - just look at Midrand or Umhlanga.

TMKsouth:


But the OP should have put the best Maiduguri had to offer if he was gonna boast about the city here. I can't put up Alex and Hillbrow here to brag about Joburg.

Anyway, what's your background dude, u know stuff bout my city

The op is probably high on some bombs.

Just a dude who loves to travel. Enjoying South Africa while am planning my next move. Been a fan of Southie since I was 8, fascinated the idea of living here and enjoying the cultures.

the regime was different,I don't trust the likes of Magashule, they'll see this project as a cash cow

Deliberate deforestation and lack of beautification. Nigerian cities lack landscaping, I don't know why their town planners and municipalities get paid, they don't do much. Anyway, I'm not in the bashing mood today, I'm trying to be polite and generous, so

Best way to ensure this doesn't happen is to vote the ANC out. I never miss a chance to vote. Do you vote IG? The local elections are on October 27 - it was announced today.

That's cool. Are you still a fan after living here or is the anti-Nigerian thing too much for u? But that depends on your location in SA right? It's bad in Jhb Cbd.

I'm in the Vaal but consider Joburg to be my real home. Studied and worked there for over a decade. I'm in Joburg a lot though. Where are u based?

Ohh okay, thats about 50 mins to joburg. I travel back and forth. Vut when in S.A,i am in Nelspruit, Louis Trichardt or Joburg.

I know you youngsters don't like to vote - that's why I laughed. Like I'm cornering you now with politics.

I'm always party hopping and this year it's the year of ActionSA for me, so it looks like you and I are in the same party at the moment . I've done Agang, Cope, DA and even ANC in Mbeki's day.

I am still a fan, sometimes my heart bleeds whenever I am around the CBD, not necessarily because of anti-Nigerian thing, but because the CBD is fast losing its beauty. Marshalltown of 2000 vs today is a concern for me.

I love the smaller cities and towns, they tend to be safer, cleaner and easy access to sporting activities. Everyone is like a family in the smaller towns.

Is someone in the zoo charged with living up litter?

Feel sorry for that elephant.

If you will enter the zoo, you'll feel sorry for all the animals, especially the lions, starved.

Yeah, I'm in the south of Gauteng. Wow, there are Nigerians in Mpumalanga and Limpopo? I thought u guys just did GP, WC and KZN. Or are u a doctor in a govt hospital?

No, we have some Nigerians in the smaller cities too. I am a freelancer, researcher, and I own a small recruitment agency.

Marshalltown around Ghandhi Square is being transformed though, it's looking very nice these days. But most parts of the CBD suck though, even the ones that were refurbished are deteriorating again. Its the overpopulation that's to blame.

Yeah, the small town environment is cool to a limit for me, that's why I always escape to Joburg to rejuvenate, ironically (most people do the opposite, lol ).

Lol , aren't you in the same age group as JaceBlace - he's in his early 20s I think (confirmed ). I'm in my mid 30s now.

Hmmm, fancy meeting you here in the travel section . Cool jobs, freelancing can be tough though depending on the industry, I'm in the media industry (it's tough there) - so I dabble in politics as well.

I'm sure we'll meet around, this is my favourite section of NL.

Yes, thats true about the CBD.
Lol.... I agree, most people prefer the big cities. But i love the smaller cities. Like here in Louis, I have access to outdoor sporting facilities without breaking a sweat. Zero racism, and everyone seems friendly. But yea, sometimes, I crave the big cities too.

Buthi, Joburg is a country on its own.....

Due to activities, i miss watching Uzalo and Generations, but my fav was Isidingo. Damnnnnnnnnnn My blood is Mzansi oooo. Wish they could bring back Isidingo.

Freelancing is tough bro..... Oh thats great, i enjoy reading about the media, nice sector. Politics, well maybe you will be the next Mayor someday. Nice meeting you.
