Is it finer than Abakaliki in Ebonyi state?

You are mad but has no one to tell you! Keep living in denial.

Abakilika is just cosmetic beauty! Modernization goes beyond what you have in those flyovers and roundabouts in Abakilika town.

Do disgrace your village people comparing Abakilika to developed modern cities.

Abakilika will get there hopefully, but not by bragging over empty spaces.

It's a height to behold but still don't prove anything...

Of what use is a 60 storey building to the common man
The pictures are nice but that's about it.
Nothing special.

60 storey skycraper? grin
How does that affect the cost of bread and peanut in Kenya?

Kenyans are doing great things in their country.

They’re doing so without noise.

Some pictures of modern houses in Kenya is surreal

Lagos Nigeria should humble themselves

I refuse to be carried away! A scholar once said "the development of any nation can only be assessed by the quality of life of her rural populace"

It takes an Igboman to open a thread to try and denigrate Nigeria in favour of others that don't give a toss about them.

if u see pics of some places in Abuja you won't believe it's Nigeria. So drop all this talk. Those pics mean nothing

PS. @op it seems like this your post is more about dissing Lagos than actually showing the developmental strides being taken in far way Kenya (Nairobi to be specific)

I'm beginning to believe what Yoruba people say about igbos envying Lagos.

Stop it,it's not a good thing.

My assessment is that the development is more concentrated in Nairobi, unlike Nigeria with several developed cities far apart. What we see here is comparable to VI, Lagos. But no doubt, Nairobi is a very beautiful city with nice people but they appear more western and willing to play down their African nature and culture unlike Nigerians. You find that in their food and their perception of anything white or western. Nigerians are indeed more African with no apologies.
