No need for Whataboutery.
This is the pure undiluted truth we've chosen to live in denial in.
If you want to know how bad it is here in Nigeria, travel out of the country even if it's for a week.

One of the most proven way to know that people are CLINICALLY INSANE in Nigeria is that you see them defending the HELL that is Lagos. lol
If not for the international airport there, I can bet that over 90% of non-Yoruba diaspora Nigerians visiting Nigeria would avoid Lagos totally.
So, this American tourist is spot on.

Still you won't go back to your region. Just let Lagosbe.

The lies therein are obvious. One of the wrong conclusion is Google estimated time being 4x. That is not true whenever you on the road and use Google map traffic estimate are also added in fact if the traffic is not up to 10 minutes. It updates traffic along route in every 5minutes I use Google map often and I know this for sure
Yeah, Google map is correct MOST times. Sometimes it does fail and you spend far more time than it estimated AT THE TIME YOU WERE LEAVING HOME.

I've travelled all over Nigeria minus the far north but at least I've reached Gombe and Jos. Let's be frank.

Abuja is in a class of its own. By far the best West African city. I would even go further and say Abuja is the best West, East and Central African city.

Then there is Lagos which is a great i some ways and bad in others. It is important to note that many of the things this guy has wrongly identified as markers of poverty are actually just Nigerian behavioural traits. Haggling for tiny sums, pissing in public and so on have nothing to do with poverty.

Ibadan, Enugu, and all other southern capitals minus Yenagoa are more or less in the same bracket but Ibadan is still the first here because it is much bigger than the rest and more cosmopolitan.

Not may bro - Abuja is definitely much better. It's a great place to live if you have a bit of money.

Who spoilt Lagos?

You bad grin
Most people who haven't travelled out cannot understand how the presence of basic amenities and a working system make one human.
This place might best be described as a zoo after all.

You know clueless Taylor90, repeating lies a thousand times don't make it a truth. By the way, you can be arrested and prosecuted for spreading lies. Freedom of speech doesn't cover slanderous intent and defamation of character. Think thrice.

I always thought there was something in Lagos, until I went to their overpraised areas VI, LEKKI, Ikoyi, etc. Nigeria is nothing but a slum through and through. You can't even compare it with Cairo or Alexandria, heck, even Nairobi is much better than it

I think I've watched this guy's documentary on TV, he can come back to Lagos now and experience a different traffic, traffic wise, petrol subsidy removal has made Lagos more enjoyable. At least something good can be said of Lagos now, thanks to our President
