I live in the U.S. and visit New York all the time. You, like most Nigerians, are completely delusional. I can't even argue with someone who would compare New York to Lagos. Your brain is completely smooth.

Tell me the street in Manhattan that is comparable to Lagos. I've been throughout the city. Also, Manhattan is the the most developed part of New York. The Bronx is the poorest borough. Do you know what a borough is? Do you know what a bodega is? Do you know what ethnicity lives in Washington Heights? Do you know what a brownstone is? Do you know the difference between New York pizza and Chicago pizza?

Prove you have been to New York. Because right now, you are talking nonsense.

SuperBold:
When your useless governor from alaigbo failed to perform their duty, creating economic migrants and refugee putting pressure on Lagos State.

As I'm typing this, 3,000 of your people are on their way to Lagos to add to the pressure.

Lagos can't achieve its potential with many people disrupting its planning process.

duro4chang:
You are living in a slum part of Lagos. Please move , go round.

MajorLeaguePlay:
Lagos needs to decongest, badly. It needs to figure out a way to kick millions of people out the state and back to where they’re from.

McSquishi:


New York is divided into like 7, 9? boroughs...

Chicago pizza is deep dish, and better.

A bodega is basically a corner store, a convenience store.

Why would I lie about visiting Manhattan and finding it dirty

Speaking of smooth brains: I didn’t compare New York to Lagos originally. I compared people’s reaction to their city being insulted. You didn’t comprehend the simple text I wrote and started making one to own comparisons which I said was not proper. But I did call it a lie that the best place in Lagos is worse than the worse place in New York. It’s still a lie

Can you please list the parts of Lagos that are not slum, and what percentage of the state that they represent
Thanks

Banana slum loading...

Remove igbo naira from that your GDP let's see how far.
No be by mouth.

How much do the igbos abroad alone pump into Lagos yearly. Either through mma or apapa

In December my Sequoia cost 1.7 just to clear. I don't think that money went to Anambra my state


It's all you people that don't own shit always have the biggest mouth

This is true!
Also as they are kicking them out they should also kick all the O&G companies that has no business being in Lagos to their States of operation.

MrMaestro:

You don't understand, we don't need or want your investments. Lagos recieves more foreign direct Investments than any group could dare muster up. Period. Your bodies alone is putting too much strain on the govt and urban planning. That's just a fact. Your money may be needed in Anambra or Onitsha but it is NOT needed in Lagos! So if that's your reasoning, please take your money and people to develop Anambra. It'll make nigeria better overall.

But we all know if you all were the true developers as you claim, you would've done that already. You all need Yorubas. And are now moving to Ogun, Osun, Oyo, etc. Yet spew hate on Yorubas all up and down. I honestly dont understand you all.

These are your elites -- millionaires and billionaires -- living in what looks like a zoo habitat. They take their private jets to London, New York, and Dubai only to return to Nigeria with a head emptier than when they left.

JohnBullMySon:
I don't get it, is it the billionaires that are meant to develop the place? Or the government and the developers. Meanwhile, asides the fences and in undeveloped areas, that place ain't as bad as you're painting it to be.

The first image is the part developed by Lebanese. The second is the part developed by Nigerians. See the difference?

JohnBullMySon:
I believe the Lebanese had more cash (maybe due to a stronger currency) and could develop a larger area to sell. The Nigerians built personal houses mostly. That's why it looks that way. I'm sure it was the Lebanese guys who did the buildings that developed the landscape as well. The blame should fall on Chaugory and whoever is also in charge of banana island for failing in the landscape development and not people who bought land to build their houses. They corrected their mistake with Eko Atlantic, buh right now. Eko Atlantic is too costly for even the very rich to develop.

bobowaja:
At times, I sit down and wonder the obsession of Igbos after Yoruba lands. This is the same stupidity that made Azikwe to leave the east and trying to force himself on Yoruba as a premier.

I am yet to see any Yoruba man obsessed about any of the backward eastern states as you guys do. Tueh!

Aconomist:
I understand that people will be defensive of criticisms towards a city they over-identify with. But that's the stagnation mentality I'm trying to break. Do you realize Lagos is considered the second most unlivable city in the world? The only city worse is war-torn Damascus Syria. Things need to change.

Season of denying ones heritage. Ipob are not always proud of where they came from cos it is worst than a slum.

EzeNri:

I have N5k to spare and if you don't need the money, you could use it to subscribe to Airtel 20GB bundle for N3000 and give out the remaining N2000 to an indigent family celebrating Easter,

Just name ONE non-capital city in the entire SW except Lagos that is more developed than Aba.

If you could name any that is more developed than Onitsha, then I'll give out another N10,000.

Every time LAGOS, LAGOS as if na their papa get am. If you guys spend half of the energy dragging for Illorin, by now it should have been unconquered from the Fulanis.

But no, they won't. They are looking for an already made city while their true cities are decaying on daily basis.

Name any of your state that is doing better than Ogun state.

Let's remove Lagos state.

EzeNri:

Anambra is far ahead of Ogun in all indices

Abia is far ahead of Ogun in FDI, human capital, and Commerce. Aba is more developed than all the cities in Ogun.

Imo is far ahead of Ogun in literacy rate.

Ebonyi is far ahead of Ogun is rice production.

It's an insult to compare Ogun with Enugu in terms of beauty, development and serenity. I won't do that.

Ogun is only great on Yemi kwale Bureau of Statistics datasheet and in taxing their improvised citizens in the name of IGR.

Sammy07:




Oga, companies in shagamu alone will swallow those of Anambra and abia together.
Don't be ment bro.

Sammy07:


No state in the yeast is as developed as Ogun state.
Or has achievements as Ogun state
Or has important / Influential people as Ogun state

No lemme start with you

EzeNri:

According to what Yemi Kwale told you nah abi. Yet they have more vulnerable households in the social register than Anambra

Anambra alone has three indigenous airline and 70% of imported consignments target at Onitsha.

Go figure dude.

Sammy07:


No start what you can't finish
I dey warn you.

From
Education
Health
Economic
Companies
Road developments
Influential people
Entertainment
Human development


No ibo state can stand shoulder to shoulder with Ogun state in the above statistics.

Well, maybe Housing
If you disagree you can start it
