Keep deceiving yourself. Sure. .it just "coincidentally" stopped at 30, with Lagos last and "worst". I notice you always have an excuse for white folks when they denigrate you. Your own inferiority complex wears a hat and carries a walking stick.
These are the 30 most globalised cities in the world chosen from different regions.

You are the one living in denial here the quality of life in Lagos is abysmal compared to world standards and you don't need any ranking to even deduce that.
We should seek for ways to improve it and not blaming others for our flops. The indices for assessment are clear.

Even if the list added twenty more global cities Lagos will still sink to the bottom.

Stilt in clothes.

His forearm looks like it would break if the wind blew hard enough. Wonder how he made it through the army.

Anyway he didn't even have the basic requirements to get in so what am I saying he would have used the same means to get out.

This may not have mattered too much if he had any iota of leadership skill but he doesn't.

Don't worry, nissan is involved, there will be a great recall, and it will come into naija sooner than you think.
Why the personal beef with Nissan.

They do make some very good cars and are more willing to take risks.

Everyone is now going CVT after waiting for Nissan to take the bashing. Not fair.

Is Munich not a ''global city''? Are Rome, Vienna, Miami, Seattle, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Copenhagen etc not ''global cities''? Why are they not on the list? They had to reserve space at ''No 30'' to place you 'last' and 'worst'. Can't you see that? They always do this. In truth, there should be no space for Lagos on that list, if we are talking of those measurement indices used in the so-called survey.
The cities chosen are major regional centres of commerce and population. If you look closely you will notice that all subcontinents are represented Milan is the major economic centre in Italy, Berlin for Germany, London for UK, Madrid for Spain, Amsterdam for Holland, Moscow Russia and Stockholm for the Scandinavia and these are Europe's largest economies ;
NY, LA, San Francisco and Chicago with Toronto and Mexico city for North America
Sao Paulo, Rio, Bogota for South and Central America.
Johannesburg and Lagos are the major players in Africa. Cairo may have been included and it will still beat Lagos.

Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jarkata, Seoul for SE Asia

Mumbai, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo for Indochina and Japan.

Dubai for the middle east.

Sydney for Australia

These cities were carefully and purposefully chosen because of the regions and countries they are within and their unique diversity and some were left out to avoid duplicity or because they were not seen as global enough.

Oh please.....you're easily manipulated. When someone presents you with a ''list'' of 30 cities with yours at the bottom, you need to ask them WHY they have a list of 30, instead of 35, 40, 50, 60, or 100. Why dis they stop at 30 with your city, to make it appear your city is the worst in the world? Use our brain.
30 global cities were chosen.
Travel › Lagos Newly Voted Worst City For Quality Of Life While London Tops by eaglechild(op): 7:39pm On Oct 25, 2016
The study was conducted on 5,200 well-
educated, high net-worth adults.

Cities were rated on factors including their
culture and infrastructure.

Lagos in Nigeria was rated at the bottom of the
newly published list of 30.

London triumphed in a new study of the world's
greatest cities, leaving close competitors Paris and
New York in the dust.
Rated on a variety of factors including its culture,
entertainment, infrastructure, health and general
happiness; the results were determined by 5,200 well-
educated, high net-worth adults from 16 countries
around the world.

The poll, published last week by consultancy firm PwC,
was conducted in December 2015, before Britain's
shock Brexit verdict.
Paris was the runner up, scoring top with regards to
cultural influence, including attractions and cultural
trendsetting, and was in the top-three-ranked cities in
terms of entertainment and cuisine.
New York, which came third, was viewed overall as the
'leader' for its economic influence and ability to
provide easy access to capital.
BEST PERCEIVED CITIES
1. London
2. Paris
3. New York
4. Amsterdam
5. Sydney
6. Berlin
7. Tokyo
8. Toronto

Jonathan will always be remembered in African and indeed world democracy.

He reformed the electoral process in Nigeria making it more difficult to rig without it being obvious. Prior to him elections were a big joke in Nigeria.
He gave INEC true autonomy.

He entrenched freedom of information and did not hound the press or opposition.

These are the rudiments of true democracy that confer power to the people.

We can have support for someone without embracing sycophancy.

Buhari made a monumental blunder and no amount of wordplay can reverse that.

His statement was demeaning and unexpected from a president. The action from him is to apologize or clarify his statement. That is what great leaders do.

I wonder where Hillary would have been if Bill said she belonged to the kitchen.

This is totally unacceptable.

We have no regard for wildlife.

Pythons are essentially harmless to humans.

In fact they are very useful in keeping the rodent population in check and thus help to minimize the burden of the disease these rodents may harbour.

We encroach into their habitat and go ahead to kill them off, but this is just inviting trouble.

Politics › Re: Nigerians Condemn Nba’s Threat Over Judges’ Arrest by eaglechild: 12:14pm On Oct 10, 2016
Any country whose executive starts toying with separation of powers and starts justifying unlawful raids in the guise of arrest while flaunting laid down rules of how to tackle the judiciary is sliding into tyranny.

Nigeria is fast descending into tyranny.

The fight against corruption is highly targeted and selective. While some of the most corrupt Nigerians like Amechi and Tinubu are overlooked and rewarded with positions despite gross evidence against them, others in the opposition are being hounded to death.

We then wonder why our economy is not making any progress.

Buhari is replaying the same old script that led to his ousting as military president.

The fight against corruption is supported but must not be selective and must be done under the rule of law.

MadCow1:
I am not the biggest fan of Rochas but I must say that I support this..


From the little I know on the matter, the State Government put forward a proposal to relocate the market from there to somewhere else due to over congestion, traffic and waste management issues. The Market Union got an injunction barring the State Government from demolishing the Market. So the State government decides to leave the Market alone.

Here is how I would have handled it;

I will leave the Market alone. Let them sort out their waste management, security, electricity, water, e.t.c...

Heavily tax the Market as well. Anybody caught parking illegally, disposing waste on the streets, jaywalking or loitering will be arrested and fined or jailed. I will use any means necessary to force that market out of there. make it uneasy for the Market to thrive.


That fhucking Market has got to go.. Any honest person would agree with that.
We are running a democracy here not some autocracy

The case is in court and the executive must respect that.
They have no right whatsoever to armtwist the people into submission. It is despicable.

It doesn't matter how they feel about it, their duty is to make the best of the court decision whatever it is.
Politics › Re: Owerri Refuse: We Deliberately Left It To Punish Indigenes – Imo Govt by eaglechild: 9:31am On Oct 07, 2016
The same silly mentality of APC at the national level is being reproduced here.

The people have a right to make decisions on issues based on what will benefit them. It is the government's duty to carry out those decisions in the best possible way that will augur well with everyone; Or give way to those who are capable of doing so and not victimize the citizens that gave you mandate to lead.

Case in point is BREXIT.

A 1 year govt turned a blind eye but a 6year govt did not see either. Put d blame where it belongs.
Here we go again.

That road has deteriorated drastically in the past 15 months.

As it stands now the Enugu Onitsha and Aba Ikotekpene roads are the ones that need the most urgent attention in the country because of their state and the traffic they carry.

Just like the Benin Ore road which needed very urgent attention and received it.

If the FG is to construct any federal road in the country at this point it should be those.

If you are alright with being stuck in the past forever instead of tackling the present situation and looking unto the future then good luck.

This is good road compared to Aba- Ikot Ekpene Expressway
Another no go route.

The FG is reluctant in spending money on fixing roads in the southeast.

That is the busiest highway in the southeast.

Now it is the worst road on the planet.

Yet the FG turns a blind eye.

It is only in Nigeria that one speech makes a Presidential candidate.
Buhari did not give any and became president.


Also you are absolutely WRONG.

It IS speeches that make presidents all over the democratic world.

Speeches have put people in power from the US to the UK to France.

It offers a foresight of what is expected from the candidate. That is why elections are hinged on debates that involves speeches.
