Armaggedon:
it did not reflect in your title. Moreover, no one ranks such by geopolitical zones when they are not hiding something.

verybadmouth:
Visit Abeokuta, Calabar and Uyo. Lovely places

Armaggedon:
are you doing quota system in your rankings?

manny4u:
North Central.
Lafia is terrible for a capital city.
Minna is not that good too.
Forget lokoja the aura and atmosphere alone oozes of nonsense.

North west
Gusau the name suggest its gutter.
Sokoto that one is just there.

North East
Except for maiduguri and gombe the rest are rubbish.

South South
Yenagoa is over rated.
Benin too many old buildings.

South East.
Umuahia is rubbish.
Abakaliki is picking up compared to the last time I was there.
Awka could still do better.
Owerri is not that bad.

I have been to all the states in Nigeria so I am talking from experience.

Workch:
No state capital in Nigeria is developed, they are all pieces of shit including ikeja and Port harcourt by global standard but the worst I have visited are as follows:

1. Lokoja (this one na dead place)
2. Lafia (na only two dualized road dey for here)
3. Ado Ekiti (mtcheew)
4 Umuahia (the government here is sleeping)
5. Yenegoa (this place na total disgrace).
6. Awka ( it's an expressway capital with 3 flyovers and 2 dualized roads)


The best I have visited by Nigerian standard are:
1. Port harcourt
2. Enugu
3. Ibadan
4. Owerri
5. Ilorin
6. Ikeja

Ps: I have not visited Kaduna and Kano state before

Absuchat:
The worse is Ikeja Lagos.

Jones4190:
Ibadan

yarimo:
NGEGI and OBIANO all did well as governor of Anambra state and now SOLUDO is doing great

Razgas:
the sad thing is that Centenary city is our own equivalent of Eko Atlantic.
Gburugburu built a few roads there and disappeared. They couldn't even release a concrete 3D view of their plan there

Chillypelly:
It is laughable when people include enugu on the list. Outside cosmetic touches in enugu and nsukka the okpa spirit lives on. Akwa Ibom should be included but not before Lagos, Anambra, Rivers, Ogun, Edo, Delta and kano. Development is not about the flyovers and roads but the commercial transactions, road interconnectivity, literate population and standard of living as the measuring index. You may include provision of basic facilities in rural areas by govt and individuals as a yastic. Imo has a huge urban and semi urban population rested on the one city drive by the govt. Litracy level in Imo is mind bugging ( about 83%) highest in west and central africa according to UNESCO. With the insane development of cities in Imo state ( about 11 of them) its sure the are ready for the top. Cross River is just one big joke. Outside Calabar the state capital, lions and reptiles rule the the state.

Resurrection212:
Catholic church are investing in war zone just because ones igbo dude have access to speak with Pope. All the imo benefits this Anambra people continue taking them up .

BloomingDale:
Let all the big men from Urhobo, Itshekiri, Ijaw, Isoko and Anioma make this dream come true. It will benefit Delta state in the long run. If big men from Edo, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River wan join, make una come o.

Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, other Northerners are invited too. No Fulani please.

Igboslayer:
Going to Warri back then was a big battle. You can’t enter the city with any vehicle bearing the logo of a popular company. Anywhere you park Agebros will bombard you like bees asking for Deve. Benin also borrowed some format from this and drove many potential investors away. The Benin by pass saved a lot of people and businesses from Agberos lurking in every part of the city. Robbery is very common along the bypass till this day.

Nowenuse:
The problem with Nasarawa started in OLD PLATEAU STATE!

Plateau Christians wanted to carry the muslim minorities along in everything cos we never knew these people were evil.
Then in old Plateau state, every deputy appointment was meant for Lower Plateau (Nasarawa) people and it was always given to a muslim.
It's not as if Muslims were more in lower Plateau, but just for the sake of carrying everybody along.

So by the time Nasarawa state was created, all the big shots in the state were Muslims! They formed a muslim clique (led by Abdullahi Adamu) and since then vowed that by hook or crook, a Christian will never rule Nasarawa state.

egopersonified:
The two companies I have worked with in Benin actually left warri for Benin, their loss, my gain. I heard communities used to have staff slots that are paid monthly but they never work in the company, they just collect salaries.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
That is exactly what happens when leaders have beans for brains
Infact beans is even better
Na cement dey their brain!

slowice:
Lagos is slowly sluding down that path ably supported by politicians and ethnic bigots.... It may take forever but if they don't retrace their steps that forever may just be around the corner.

They may not be the biggest port city for too long.

Port Harcourt did same with militancy and never recover... Though far better than warri but portharcourt is going down yearly

maasoap:
Ondo state governor asked Dangote to pay for land needed to build his largest refinery in West Africa or go somewhere else. Lagos state governor sent invitation letter to Dangote to come and take as much land as needed free of charge. Some leaders deserve nothing but stoning

PrinceMajestic:
Moderators of nairaland so you guys decided to harm Delta State for no reason especially my region, allowing people from poorer regions and poorer states to be insulting my people here for no good reason? You guys Yoruba and ibo tribal war is now so boring that it's now Delta and my people you all have decided to start insulting for no reason?

daddytime:
Nostalgic.

I can't forget them days growing up in Warri while my dad managed one of Mosheshe's subsidiaries.

Airport Road/Ugborikoko was my school base while we lived at Okumagba Avenue.

There was the huge "Delta Palace Hotel" opposite my school (Ugborikoko sec. School) and flanked by the beautifully and well-planned Bendel estate...kaii

I remember how we'd visit my uncle who was the head of the Shell Police in their estate, I would always refuse to go back home with my dad. You'd think you were in heaven...gosh
Warrior was the bomb those days. The last time I visited Warri, I shook my head in tears and disbelief.

Where are all the huge warehouses and companies on Airport Road?

It's sad how they ruined my city and country..so sad.

Ezekiel2122:
True! Though I wasn't there when it all happened. But this case of local tax is still in going on. I stayed in warri for four years and I saw what I've never seen in any major towns. What other people termed development and will be happy about is what warri people will demand money before it can ever take place. I pity people who will move their company to warri with this their community tax problem. That person should jist find enough extra cash before he does that.

Kingcalls:
Lagos is towing that part gradually
