If you have been to nairobi, you probably landed at Jomo kenyatta Airport, please tell me the color of the arrival wing? If you can't, tell me the process of immigration check at the airport.

You are even going Far, Accra, Dakar and Kigali all have better infrastructure than Lagos and Abuja.
All the cities I mentioned have better roads, drianages, transportation, serene environment, electricity and public water system than Lagos nd Abuja. We wey dey here go dey think say we dey heaven.

Cotonou that is just less than 150km away from Lagos here is far more developed than Lagos if you consider basic amenities.

I have been to these places.
Better roads than Abuja? grin Abuja is far better than those aforementioned cities in terms of roads, drainage, transportation (save public transportation) and serene environment. They are above Abuja only in electricity and public water. Make una dey travel small.

Cotonou far developed than Lagos!!? shocked shocked

Cotonou no even reach Akure, Owerri and Uyo not to talk of Lagos. Go inside Contonou and see brown roads. grin

In essence you are not worried about development in your Igbo state in comparism to the rest of Africa you are only interested in development of a far away Lagos to other cities in Africa.

Isn't this how ipob declare they are tribalistic bigots without saying their miserable wretched shame filled life is ruined with bigotry hate n jealousy for the Yoruba state like Lagos.
Again, the topic is how Lagos and Abuja, our lost developed cities compete with other African cities.

This is the topic I will discuss with you

Done arguing.

In fact Lagos has drinkable pipeborne water and 24/7 electricity, with no open gutters, sidewalks, and their police pull people over, danfo never runs traffic light in front of 10 lasma and 5 police, everything is fine.

May God open your eyes soon. Have a blessed day.

Cotonou has more infrastructure than every single city in Nigeria, be it Lagos, Abuja, Port harcourt, Owerri or kano.

The only thing is that, there are more businesses in Nigeria by virtue of population than in Benin but Cotonou has better infrastructure and the place is far more organized.

The mental decay and damage is really a very deep one the most pitiful is seeing poor and wretched nigerias praising and supporting the same leaders that undeveloped their land and rendered them totally useless.
Since you have the solution, can you please, present yourself? Go there so that we can see what you can do.

The current leadership of all the mentioned cities did not build all those cities. They inherited them from past generations and maintained them. Joe Biden didn't build all the beauty in US. Same as Rishi Sunak

The likes of Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa, and all the leaders during that era are the reason why nigeria is the way it is.

Nations are built on solid foundation, solid structure, strong institutions, fairness and equity. How was Nigeria formed in the first place? If the whites forced us to be one, must we agree to be one? Azikiwe, Tafawa, Ahmadu Bello, and all their mates should have agreed on a way out, even if it means going separate ways.

Now nobody is blaming them for the rot in the system, everybody is blaming Tinubu and Bihari. If those first generation leaders did what they were supposed to do, we won't have the likes of Bihari and Tinubu leading 200M of us.

I will continue to sing their praises. Not because I like them or benefit from them, but because I know that's the system they inherited.

Rome was not built in a day.

You have inferiority complex and you want reality to mold to your complex rather than you addressing it.

GDP, Lagos v. The Whole Countries Talkless of Cities

Lagos: $266.55 (2021)
Ethiopia: 111.3 billion USD (2021)
Libya: 42.82 billion USD (2021)
Morocco: 142.9 billion USD (2021)
Algeria: 163 billion USD (2021)
Tunisia: 46.69 billion USD (2021)


So nobody knows what you mean by 'development' because Lagos is the #1 city in Africa by a distance
This is not comparison of economic data like GDP and GDP/Capital, you are off from the topic of discussion. If you go ahead to even compare those cities with Lagos with respect to your indices but not GDP/Capital of those cities and Lagos you will be shocked on what you will see.

Good road network, clean environment, excellent health care institutions, public water systems etc has nothing to do with economic data. Economic prosperity only allows you to provide those amenities, unfortunately economic prosperity often ends in the pockets of thieves.

I know Lagos is probably the most developed city in Nigeria by landscaping and second to Abuja infrastructure but going outside of Nigeria, Lagos and Abuja may not be able to compete with their contemporaries infrastructural wise.
This post is not to meant to undermine Nigeria but for us to see that we have a long way to go as a nation.
When I mean infrastructure, I refer to transport system, aesthetics, public water, organization and quality of life.

1. Johannesburg, South Afria
2. Cairo, Egypt
3. Durban, South Africa.
4. Cape Town, South Africa.
5. Oran, Algeria.
6. Casablanca, Morocco.
7. Tunis, Tunisia
8. Pretoria, South Africa.
9. Alexandria, Egypt.
10. Algiers, Algeria.
11. Rabat, Morocco.
12.Nairobi, Kenya.
13. Tripoli, Libya.
14. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Dirty Lagos with smelling Airport, if you say Abuja well and fine, you should never mention Lagos again, if you want to compare slums you mention Lagos., when you elect local champs without vision as governors what do you expect.
