The OP says best Capital cities i wonder why you're Putting Cross River & Calabar in the same list. You didn't used to recite States &Capital back then in school, &this how you fail simple job Interview.

Apart from Ikeja Lagos, few of the best I have reside so far:

Uyo City, Nigeria's 21st State Capital City, became State Capital since September 23rd, 1987. Next week Uyo indeed Akwa Ibom State will celebrate 35years of existence.

Uyo was Designed by Arc. Victor Bassey Attah, a renowned Architect, who later became Governor of Akwa Ibom State between 1999-2007. He is regarded as the Father of Modern Akwa Ibom State.
I call it Nigeria's 21st Century Liveable State Capital City, Residential Estates, a beffiting State Secretariat, Clean&Green environments with good sense of Hospitality by the residents, economically viable city with shops, Restaurant, Eateries, cool spots to hangout with friends. The capital city is accessible by Ibom Air via Victor Attah International Airport, or Road while cruising down the 8-Lane super-highway, Water via ferry cruise @the Nwaniba Beach near Le Meridian to&fro Calabar, Cross River State.

Ancient City of Calabar, well planned city with motorable roads with drainage system within the city, Pre-colonial buildings left behind by the white slave traders, missionaries, serene Green sceneries, home to one of the oldest Presbyterian primary school founded 1847, it will amaze you to see an ancient structures still standing tall, post primary schools such as St. Patrick College, Edgerly Girls, Holy Child@Marian Hill & Hope Wadell Institute @Diamond Hill founded by the Scottish Missionaries, higher institutions such as UNICAL, CRUTECH are all in Calabar, the city supports businesses especially Tourism&Hospitality, Eatries there offers you some of the best cuisines for your healthy living grin as well as impressive nightlife.
Small scale import&export, the city is accessible by Air, Land & Water via Calabar Port to neighbouring African countries such as Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon etc. with High commission offices in the city.
The acronym is:
C•ome
A•nd
L•ive
A•nd
B•e
A•t
R•est.

Port Harcourt City, Africa's Oil&Gas Capital is well planned as well thanks to the wonderful work Gov. Wike is doing to solve the perennial traffic jam the city is known for, by providing key road Infrastructures to make the city easy to navigate. They host some of the best residential estates, markets, shopping malls, 3&5-star Hotels around, 4 major Higher Institutions is located in this city, due to presence of Oil&Gas companies, the city is economically viable, you can imagine public transport or taxi driving is a modest business one can venture into.
As Port City it is accessible by Water, the channel, Atlantic coast, Air via International Airport, &Land which proximity to an ever-busy International market @Aba, East of the Niger.

I have visited Ikeja, Lagos they have massive Infrastructures there,

Hilly city of Enugu, Capital of the old Eastern Region with red soil, they have good roads.

Owerri is nice&it's nightlife. cool

Kaduna city.

New Ibadan should be created Capital city of Oyo State cos Ibadan is too big especially the old part of the city. cheesy

You can add yours.

Out of the 36 States in Nigeria, there's only one capital City is attached to it's name.

Ladies and gentlemen let's give it up for Benin City.

The best capital City in Nigeria where the king is truly king.
