Fake news by anti Tinubu people. Lagos is the best city in all of Africa, even better than useless cities like London and New York.

Lagos has a better transportation network, better services, more tourist centres and is cleaner than all those other places

All these people spreading fake news so Tinubu does not win the elections.

LOL, is this suppose to be a sarcasm or you're actually being serious?

Where are those urchins bragging Tinubu has transformed Lagos to Dubai?

I think it is illiteracy and bitterness that is blindfolding all of you. The rating is talking about liveable urban cities. Is it talking about economic hub cities? Those people that are economic refugees in Lagos are the ones complaining here.

Obasanjo as a President while Tinubu was a governor called Lagos a Concrete Jungle. His statement is copied below.

President Olusegun Obasanjo disdainfully described Lagos as a “concrete jungle.”

Obasanjo said Lagos (with its chaos of ill-maintained roads, snarling traffic, urban slum, inadequacy of pipe-borne water, mammoth trash, clogged drainages, flood, and crimes) is unfit for sane people to live in.

That was after Abacha abandoned Lagos for years of ruins. Many organizations and individuals relocated out of Lagos.

Thank God, Tinubu ruled Lagos. VI and Lekki would have gone by now and Lagos would have been in the dustbin of history.

It is a population explosion that led to vehicular and human traffic. Lagos is a dumping ground of Nigeria. Lagos has no control over immigrants (economic refugees) and many other things.

The economic refugees are afraid of government regulations that would bring sanity to Lagos that is why they are fighting the battle of their life against 2023.

Electricity most likely undermines Lagos and other cities in Nigeria significantly. This unfortunately impacts other factors including standard of living and quality of life. Things like infrastructure, healthcare and other parameters would be significantly impacted too.

This same Lagos is the small London in Nigeria, having the best outlook in terms of security- bad as it is.

Speechless…

We are proud Lagosians!
There is no Nation or City in the World without her problems and that is why we would continue to engage the government in power to do more and do the right things for the Masses! Urgency is needed in today's governance.
- Government should take Daily and Monthly Statistics of the sorroundings of what is needed and take Actions to Improve the lives of the People!
- The upsurge in the Population in Lagos is unprecedented,due to the perceived or believed that money grow on the Street of Lagos ,meaning more amenities are required to meet their needs!
The same pressure is on London,New York,etc.
- Amenities like good roads, cheap housing facilities,easy transportation,Inter- Train movement and Water System could reduced the pressure and increased the Citizens lifespans and the GDP.
-Kudos to the Lagos State government efforts but there are rooms for improvement!

Some people will still make this a political and tribal issues but they are wrong.

Ifbi can making my point using the island part, that means the mainland area is something else.
Go to mile 2, you will see what dirtiness, lack of coordination etc are all about.

Lagos lacks so many things that makes a city mega city, from ease of transportation to lack of serene environment to cleanliness to security to clean water.

For proper, better and real life understanding.

Drive from Ajah through VGC, VI, Thirdmainland, Bariga-Gbagada, Oshodi, head to toll gate, Berger and then that bridge that serves as boundary between Lagos and Ogun state. Please do this with your windows open and you will understand better the moment you cross that bridge.
Let me just mention one thing that you will notice well aside others, and that thing is change in the breeze/air/atmosphere.

Note: I mentioned both the so-called good areas and the rough areas.

Delta was a beautiful place with milk and honey!

But just like what is happening in Biafra today, the populace encouraged what destroyed Delta!

I remember those years when on oil companies had their operations HQ in Delta!

All moved to Rivers when the heat was unbearable!

And what's left of Delta today? NOTHING!

State can only boast of the worst Governor in Nigeria


It pains me truly
Absolutely nothing left

Why won't Lagos be the world's second worst city to live in when a certain criminal has stood on its neck since 1999?!

To put this disgrace in proper perspective, it means that worn torn cities like Tripoli, Mogadishu, Juba, Khartoum etc are all better than living in Lagos!

How on Earth would Lagos be the worst city in Africa if Tinubu hasn't stolen the resources that would have been used in providing pipe borne water, good roads, refuse disposal, good housing etc?!

We are talking about the 5th biggest economy in Africa!!!

I moved to Lagos in 2012 and paid for 2 years rent but when I realized the city was hell on earth, I sub-leted my house and told my landlord I was going for my masters and my friend will be living there until I return. In order not to make him understand I was living for good, I decided to sell my properties to the guy I sub-leted it to and relocated in 2013.

For God's sake, people in Lagos are suffering terribly and listed below are the factors causing it:

Lack of Pipe borne water; in this era, 2022, Lagos does not have pipe borne water available and when you sink your own borehole, all you will be getting is undrinkable salty hard water. Just two or three bullion vans of money is enough to solve this problem! But no, a wicked godfather would rather embezzle the money and be throwing it around like a drunken sailor.

Bad Roads; You can't drive on the roads without being at the mercy of hoodlums harrassing you about, and to think they were set up by the government makes it the more shameful.

Traffic Congestion; former governor of Lagos State, Lateef Jakande understood this problem and decided to build a metro system before Buhari government frustrated him. One would have expected that Tinubu would have concentrated his effort towards solving this problem but no, he refused. Even the attempt made by Fashola to build a metro has been stalled since due to massive corruption. Lagos State has spent more money on this project than was spent in Addis Ababa yet that Ethiopian city now has a functioning metro today but that of Lagos is no where!! Many Lagosians now spend more time in traffic than they spend at home. Some would leave their house as early as 4am only to return at midnight everyday!!

It is the same rot in virtually every segment of the city. Many live in rundown apartments, refuse disposal is horrible, government schools still have dilapidated structures etc. Yet businesses are taxed to death annually and hundreds of billions earned only for one wicked and extremely corrupt old man to pocket it and share some among his cronies.

If you're living in Lagos and you're suffering all these yet you decide to vote the same wicked man responsible for your suffering, then you're doing yourself! Lagos has enough money to make you live more comfortable lives if only it is properly managed.

Now is the time to save yourself and future generations from these crimes against humanity!
