LAGOS—Lagos is the fourth
worst city in the world,
Economist Intelligence Unit, EIU,
an independent forecasting and
advisory business within the
Economist Group has said.
And its top worst cities, are
scattered around Africa and Asia.
Lagos, the fourth on the list,
shares its 137 position with Port
Moresby, in Papua New Guinea
on 38.9 per cent.
The report made available
yesterday described it as the
second-fastest growing city in
Africa and the fourth worst city
on earth.
“Rapid growth is not always a
good thing because Lagos is
now a magnet for two perpetual
threats to peace: pirates and
Islamist warriors.
Boko Haram have a problem with
cities like Lagos and also lots of
weaponry. Pirates threaten trade
and use kidnapping as a method
of funding. Islamist terrorist
groups such as Boko Haram
(“Education is forbidden”) want
to create their own version of
heaven on earth by destroying
cities such as Lagos and
imposing strict sharia law. Lagos
has enormous potential but as
yet little to show for it – hence its
poor ranking,” the report said.
EIU in its 2013 annual survey of
the world’s 140 major
metropolises, said Lagos has a
long way to go politically, socially
and economically before it joins
the emerging market club. www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/lagos-ranked-4th-worlds-worst-city/

agbameta: Like I said, tribalism and bigotry is what's driving your idiocy and I saw you from miles away..

Above is your world class village..

hahahaha ha ha ha. Where did ur fvcken-ekoile got dat one from? And is he anywhere 2b found on dis tread? By d way, was dat all images about AKWA IBOM u cud find for urself. Pls go n search again for more on Google. But be warned dat u'll lose all ur kilobytes wen attemptin to download just 00.5% of wot u're about to find. GOOD NIGHT!
NB: Below is one of d several uncommon mega-projects u'll find. It is the INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL OF THE AKWA IBOM AIRPORT.

agbameta: Does it really matter what silly and ignorant contex or pointless parspective you posted your rubbish? It was pointless and ignorant. It's not like you really give a damn about Lagosians since the only motivation for your idiocy is your tribal and village insecurities and sentiments...kind of exactly what we expect and get from tribal and village degenerates like you

Below is one of your odious, rancid and disgusting tribal rants...






Dou you losers really think we don't see you coming with your tribal and village acts..?

i'll pardon u cos u may not know.... (in my mish's voice) dat i'm 4m AKWA IBOM! The only state which singularly doubles both as d oil/gas hub & the fastest growing hub in both d gulf of guinea n in d entire african region. And a state where severally multi-million dollars ambitious mega-projects are built without a single "toll" on d ordinary citizens. Pls take not dat ur hypocritical 419 Fashola is a mediocre learner in leadership n is only f00ling persons like YOU.

Delafruita: you my friend need to reconsider whatever ideals you have(I doubt you have any) and determine if they aren't the reason for your apparent insanity

hahahaha ha ha ha! U chose 2 cowardly attack my person instead of addressin d issue after u did wot i'd asked u 2do n realising how naive u wer, n how F00lish u comment sounded. Try not to be F00lish next time in public. OK?

agbameta: Let's just say you are right and they have to repay the loan or interest on the loan.


What is wrong with the state taking out loans to build infrastructures especially one that's already on the ground, functioning and benefitting Lagosians?

Your argument sounds pointless and redundant.

Go bak n read my comment in d proper context n perspective in which i posted it, n stop being stup!d.

Delafruita: first,why would you even ask such a question as the one in bold?

secondly,LASG will still not fund the project with taxpayers money.it will fund it by issuing bonds to investors

U sound like a FO0l. Check ur dictionary to know wat "bond" is! After which u'll know who will ultimately repay d bonds.

Fashola is buildin each KM of road for N1 billion, n tolling all common amenities which d citizens are supposed to enjoy. Yet some idiots wil come here 2 claim he's d best governor in nigeria n building excellent infrastructures! NONSENSE!

ujoinme: So is the gov. Akpabio whom you refer to as the best gov. in nigeria not from akwa ibom? If yes then he is also local
following your reasoning therefore, a local man is the best governor in Nigeria according to you.
Don't you think nigeria need more local men like akpabio. just saying!

If i went to a place for a visit where the peoples locality offends my city senses i will never stay up to a month and counting.you should have cut your visit short an leave within hours.
Be honest is the reason for your continued stay not unconnected with the fact that you are enjoying your stay but too proud to admit it?

Why are u giving dis fvcken run-away-bastard credibility by further joinin issues him?

customized13: thanks 4 d insult, am frm river state, nobody is saying uyo isn't developing, nobody is saying d state govt isn't working, bt d people of akwa ibom are LOCAL, they build local houses, d houses dey build doesn't match state of d roads and flyover thr, d whole of 4 lane, oron road, abak road, ikotepene road, if u see house wey fine wella, kw say na government build am.

RIVER STATE Hahahahaha ha ha ha ha ha. I'll not join issues wit u anymore cos one wud hav reasons 2conclude dat u lack credibility n therefore no reasonable-man ought 2take u seriously!

customized13: am very sure u are frm uyo, dis is an example of wot am saying. Ur govt is Good bt ur mentality is backward, if u doubt me ask anybody frm calabar.

(in my ill-wayne's voice) My fvcken bastard, wot d fvck are fvckenly doin in my uyo-mega city ? Hav u let us kno why u ran-away 4m ur homeland 2settle in my city? Why d fvck are u ashame 2tell us wer u 4m come? Hav u let us know how "exposed" u are? or are u attemptin 2dodge d questions and grinding wit envy n jealousy in my land? u better run-away 4m my uyo-mega-city 2mit ur mother-fvcker n ask her 2show u your father n where he hails from before i catch u 4deportation. BASTARD!

customized13: Uyo= goods roads, massive state govt presence, good state govt structures, environmental design wt fountains, very rich state bt poor masses, d money isn't circulating, jst politicians hv d money, d state govt has given them wot dey need 2 grow bt d people of uyo aren't dat exposed, bt stil on stil dis thr governor try oooo and he is stil working, is left 4 d people 2 build themselves and be exposed and d govt should provide electricity, light no dey uyo.

You're a mother-fvcken bastard. First, can u mention d state u come from? Where/how are u "exposed"? Are u & ur people well at all?

gtrust: Where do you find land for sale in Akwa-Ibom

Uyo, Ikot-Ekpene, Ibaka, Eket.

gtrust: Where do you find land for sale in Akwa-Ibom

Uyo, Ikot-Ekpene, Ibaka, Eket.

Thank you.

Also, idea on how long it takes to process C of O

i have a piece of land 2sell in Eket. Offer price is N1.5million.

Mr Aboki: At this point!!

I think its time for me to bring you my personal Pictures of Osun State from my last trip there this year!

hahahahaha ha ha ha ha ha! All dis clownish amala-yoruba people. I HAIL O!

Gbawe: Simple. The indiscipline and lack of civility of Nigerians come into play at times like this. Every well-exposed person will know it is impossible not to have height/weight restriction because of legitimate structural challenges.

It is not every road/bridge trucks HGVs (heavy goods vehicle) can ply. That is a given in civilised nations. You will not see this happen in Britain for even a single Briton to ask "why did not make the bridge usable for trucks and HGV?". Everyone would simply question why the truck driver defied instructions to use a bridge the vehicle he is driving is prevented from using. At times like this, we should all be looking at our driving standards agency and its efficiency at ensuring the highest level of competent driving dominate Nigerian roads.

YOU ARE JUST A SHORT-SIGHTED APC APOLOGIST WHO DO NOT SEE BEYOND YOUR NOSE! Now shut-up ur smelling-mouth there and stop to justify d nonsense ignorantly. Go to AKWA IBOM STATE and see how heavy-duty trucks are plying ALL the flyovers and bridges without any restriction/barriers. Dat mokola "flyover-barrier" was deliberately mounted to prevent d collapse of d substandard structure. PERIOD!

.

wellmax: You have learnt how to read, next learn how to comprehend.
Where did you hear them say the barrier cost N3B?
The barrier was meant to prevent heavy duty vehicles from using the flyover since there is an alternative route for them (a common practice all over Nigeria).
Its a pity how we politicize everything.

shut-up ur smelling-mouth there and stop to justify d nonsense ignorantly. Now go to AKWA IBOM STATE and see how heavy-duty trucks are plying ALL the flyovers and bridges without any restriction/barriers. Dat mokola "flyover-barrier" was deliberately mounted to prevent d collapse of d substandard structure. PERIOD!

blayz0923: we agree that whats worth doing is worth doin well... btw, in Nigeria today which is better, to have substandard or not to have at all?

will you shut your fvcken mouth there! Do u know d lives of innocent people which have been put at risk while on top of dat poor political-bridge? U BETTER GO TO AKWA IBOM STATE TO ASCERTAIN HOW QUALITY FLYOVERsssss LOOK LIKE!

Hi. Does anyone know or cud throw more lights on real reasons why AKS govt left Hyaat group to sign a deal wit Hilton group over d tropicana hotel? And why Akpabio has decided not to open both the IBIBIO UNION MUSEUM at udo udoma avenue and IBOM PLAZA wit its open-air cinema &shopping mall 2d public? Those two edifies despite d tens of billions of naira used in constructing them have been abandoned to reptiles . This is sad.

deb: Are you really comparing Lagos to Akwa-Ibom? I've been to Akwa-Ibom, Yes the Governor is doing great, but do you realize that its easier for states with predominantly forest lurking right and left of their roads to be transformed than a state like Lagos? You clear the forest and put beautiful structures and people can easily be wowed at the "wonderful work". Please Lagos is much more complex than that

Although you write like one of those guys who live in the fools paradise! But i'll give U some credibility by asking you a simple question only because u claim u've bin in akwa ibom b4. Pls when and where did u find d "predominantly forests lurking left and right the roads in akwa ibom"?

Yorubest: If his performance is overhyped, how come it is the number one investment destination in Nigeria?

How come, despite being the most populous, the state is about the most peaceful?

If with N20bn, Lagos still manages to get by and provide infrastructure for about 20millon people, please tell me what the FG is doing with over N160bn monthly for over 160million Nigerians

shut d fvck-up lagos is not d number1 investment destination in nigeria. D little investment lagos has is because of its proximity to the apapa port. Where d fvck did u get it dat lagos is d most peaceful state? Fashola's govt is not providing any infrastructure or building any ambitious mega projects like it is done in Akwa Ibom State. What fashola is doing is to MAINTAIN d infrastructure dat was provided in lagos by d federal govt when it was a FCT. and why tha fvck are u trying to divert attention to GEJ's govt? Just 2add, d little the over-hyped fashola's govt has bin able to do has been thro partnership wit d private sector, dat is why every small little amenities provided by fashola govt is tolled. NOW YOU SEE WHY CACOL IS RIGHT IN ITS ASSESSMENT?

Why is it that 9 in every 10 persons that fall under the "anointing" are women?

Please how would the PMP or Prince2 certification be needful or relevant to a practising lawyer career-wise?
