Talking about Nigerians helping them to peddle the lies and fabricated narratives, the topic was edited and an ugly picture of Lagos was inserted by a mod.

Shey we no get wonderful and beautiful pictures of Lagos to show?

Beats me why we help and assist these foreign entities to cosign their evil narratives.

This is just too sad.

There's never been any war, conflict or acts of terrorism in Lagos state, in fact, it's the safest state in Nigeria.

Are they talking about the Lagos in Nigeria, their own made up story, Imaginary Lagos or just rubbish put together to sell internet clicks?


Forget, you think because the agbero you see on Lagos roads are not like bandits? People thst collect over 120 biions naira without no accountability, money going to criminal pockets supported by emi lo kan drug Lords.

You decided not to pay if your vehicle will not be destroyed. Lai Mohammed said they are not different from bandit its just that they are backed up by high and mighty for political thugs.

Removed those idiots from Lagos Road and you know Boko boys and bandits are child play.

So the index is correct because those legalised terrorist are time bomb on Lagos Road.

Tinubu brought Agbero to Lagos by empowering characters like MC oluomo and co

Agberoism is synonymous with conflicts


So, the report is right

Lagos is the second most unliveable city in the world all because of Tinubu

If Tinubu becomes the president of Nigeria, Nigeria will become second most unliveable country in the world

See the one from Forbes.

Expatriates are unhappy with
1. Lack of a proper public transport system.
2. Insecurity - No personal safety.
3. Political stability.


Handiwork of agberos and other unscrupulous elements, especially on point 2.

On point 1, hold the government responsible. Even point 2 & 3 too.

Travel outside Nigeria just once and you will understand why Lagos is a glorified slum. No city is all that bad. There are nice areas and bad areas. My ever first trip to the much-touted Lekki area this year was a huge disappointment. How do you even start to rank a city with no steady light, haphazard good roads, no access to clean water, no central sanitary system? Open defecation, sachet bags, dirt, smelly gutters litter the whole place. There are nice restaurants close to the waterfront but the stench from the water won't let customers enjoy themselves. People who patronize these places are very used to the odour but a visitor may not withstand it. I didn't. Buildings (not that Lagos has many outstanding architectural edifices anyway) alone do not make a modern city. The city has no plan.

Of course, there are some relatively nice estates. But once you exit the gates of the estates, you will be welcomed into the mess called Lagos. It is still in a third world country.

Because they are from a country where the standard of living is better compared to Nigeria.

Ignorant man, agbero is a legal profession, not war, not terrorism or conflict, agbero are all over Nigeria even in your state so stop sounding like an uneducated ignorant.

So, one man was killed in Lagos means war, conflict and terrorism? is your head even wrapped tight?

65,000 people died from gun violence every year in America, so is America a terrorists state?

They recorded over 600 mass shootings in the US last year so do you mean there's war, conflict and terrorism in America.?

Ignorant and self loathing Africans label themselves with rubbish the western world won't even touch themselves with, even though they perpetrate the worst atrocities in their societies.

Talk about ignorance and mental slavery.

itubaba001:
Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.

Data from the 2019 Global Liveability Index published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world’s leader in global business intelligence, shows the city has been within the range of 137th-139th position out of a total of 140 cities in the world from year 2011-2019.

Last year, Nigeria overtook India as the country with the largest number of people living in extreme poverty, thereby becoming the world capital of poverty, according to the Brookings Institute. This year, the number has risen to 91.6 million from 87 million in June 2018. Every minute, six Nigerians enter the group of extremely poor people, according to the World Poverty Clock.

https://businessday.ng/uncategorized/article/lagos-ranks-amongst-worst-cities-to-live-in-for-nine-straight-years/

Lagos scored very low in all the five metrics used to assess an individual’s lifestyle,

On the stability metric, Lagos scored 20 per cent, the same point as Damascus.

Under the healthcare category, the city scored 20.8 per cent, the same point it got last year.

For culture and environment, Lagos finished with 44.9 per cent while on education metric, the city scored 25 per cent.

Nigeria’s former capital maintained 46.4 per cent for the infrastructure category.

Same old record

Over the last five years, Lagos’ position remained largely at the bottom of the EIU liveability ranking.

In 2021, Nigeria’s largest city was ranked the second worst city to live in after Damascus.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the EIU did not release a liveability ranking in 2020.

However, in 2019, Lagos was again the least liveable city in the world after Damascus.

In 2018, Nigeria’s commercial nerve center became the third worst city to live in among 140 cities worldwide.

In 2017, Lagos fell again to the second worst liveable city.

Lagos is the only Nigerian city measured in the ranking and so it is difficult to determine how other Nigerian cities would have ranked.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/539119-lagos-remains-second-worst-city-to-live-worldwide-report.html

The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.

At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.

The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.

Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-west/450615-world-water-day-lagos-water-crisis-worsening-group-says.html


A 45-year-old resident and father of three, Mr.Fatai Lamide told PUNCH HealthWise that no building in the community has toilet facilities.

The Oyo State-born mechanic said, “We don’t have toilet in this area, including our compound. This canal that you see serves as toilet to all of us living in this area. We defecate inside nylon and throw it inside the canal.

“For people that don’t want to use nylon, they have a special bucket that they use after which they pour it inside the canal too.

Coming from a terrorist from a region where terrorists are in control, where terrorists dictate when you can leave your house or sit at home, where terrorists slaughter your own people every day, where terrorists roast and eat your own people like suya.
