really!! Lagos is behind accra in terms of development. You can hardly see trucks falling in accra or traffic light not working. Buses in accra dont stop anyhow on the road, there is a water board,almost area in accra got an access to water and most importantly power supply.
same with Abuja

you don't need to fy to Accra. You can go there via road ot sea from Mile 2. Accra to Lagos is closer than Lagos to Jos.

What would you gain from lying that you have been to Addis Ababa.

Abuja is a scanty city and still developing. You can travel several kilometers within Abuja cirty and you will see huge bush

The obsession with Lagos is becoming a sickness among you guys. As in, how can someone open a thread very early in the morning to talk down on a city that gives food to majority of his kinsmen? Don't you guys have cities built by Peter Obi in your region that you can compare with any where you like? Can't you haters just stop talking about Lagos? You hate Lagos so much and use all your time to rubbish the state yet you can't leave the state alone. Is this a kind of sickness or what?

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.

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.
Ok, Good road clean environment health care, here is Rabat Morocco

You mentioned Abuja to disguise your real intention. You can't fool folks like me. I can easily see through your shenanigans. The attack on Lagos and her leadership is conspicuous. Peter Obi was governor of Anambra state for 8 years, where is the world class city he built that can be compared to Cotonou? Constructive criticism from haters and bigots? You think i don't know your antecedent on this forum?

Before you offer your unsolicited advise to Lagos, take it first to your region and make it work. When you finish building a world class city that is comparable in all aspect to Cotonou at the minimum, you can come with your advise. Take your advise and share it with SE governors, we don't need it in Lagos. Eni ma d'aso fun yan, ti orun e lama koko wo.

OP is a very popular tribalist in Nairaland and hate anything South west.

Look at him trying his best to discredit Lagos but when the government want to make a proper change by taking down houses that are messing up Lagos plans he will also be the first one to open thread and cry how Lagos government is demolishing igbo houses.
The OP is a clown.

I am a local champion and i understand the need to hold my leaders to the same standard i want to force on others. I won't allow folks like you get away with the constant attacks on Lagos, a city that feeds a lot of your kinsmen without a push back.

You see nothing wrong with Onitsha, Aba, Enugu and Awka but you want to keep bad mouthing Lagos. Show us the mega city built by Peter Obi in Anambra that has good road network, rail connection, pipe borne water in every home, bridges, clean city, state of the art health facilities, sporting facilities and a local economy that is in the top 10 in Africa. If you have no answer to this, stop talking about Lagos. Period.

Lagos and Abuja are both well developed cities in world standard, we should stop inferiority complex. Everybody that travels like the op can testify to that. What we lack is maintaining culture. There are places in both cities that will make you feel like us or uk. Stop passing wrong information because you hate your country

Dude, we have a long way to go. Should I shock you?

Cotonou and Lome are far more organized and have more infrastructure than Lagos generally and I don't even want to mention Accra. Nobody that has been to those cities will disagree, Lagos only has more economy and money but we don't see what they are using the money for.

The question boils down, if Lagos is as wealthy as Johannesburg, why is Lagos not as developed as Johannesburg? Think about it
.we have thought about it.

What is the population of j'burg?
What is the population of Lagos?

Mind you Lome and Accra don't have more infrastructure than LAGOS..Don't sugarcoat it.The problem of Lagos is over population

Accra is not more developed than Lagos though more organized. Stop talking trash. I do go there mor than 60 times. grin

Johannesburg is not far better than Lagos like it use to be be those days. Lagos don catch up.
Don't mind those mumu ooo The whole Lome is not up to IKEJA!


Unfortunately,some foreigners will be reading this rubbish and believe them not know that is a particular hate filled idiots in Nigeria spinning the narratives

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.
And the likes of GEJ leading Nigeria and likes of Peter obi leading Anambra
