Abuja Is The Most Useless Capital City In The World by NiRfreak(op):
These are my reasons
.
1. Abuja has no existing or functioning mass transport system......Most capital city in the world including our African brothers all have well designed rail line, metro line, good road network, public bus crissscrosing the whole city to move resident to different point of the city for their daily engagement but in abuja, going about ur business is a pain in the ass....U can easily get kidnapped easily because u are left to take unidentifiable taxi , or private vehicle used as transport

2. No traffic light visible in 80% of major roads...I'm not talking of street road oh...cos that will be asking for manna to fall..how will kidnapping not thrive in such capital city at night

3. No Public health care system - If capital city can have no functional healthcare scheme or well organized health delivery system for its resident how can u expect healthcare be available in remote state in Nigeria...a sorry case for a capital city

4. No single govt Housing system affordable for the large population of Abuja..instead politicians build empty mansion in remote places where no one will live and the rent unaffordable to the average worker in Abuja...such a madness
.
5 Most people stay in satellite towns that have no electricity or water system...even road are so terrible that the only good road visible is the major high way that politician run through. Every administration always destroy houses of people withoutcompensation or providing housing infrastructure for the teeming population

6..Abuja has one of the highest number of unhabitable ghettos in the world...mind these are places u found highest population of people living...most of them dont even know whats going on in town..cos they have been cut off by no access to good road, transportation, poverty....and stuck

7 People are paid peanuts not better than in your village...barely enough to feed and transport...it's a terrible capital city to be if you dont have a thriving business, ngo job, or connection to get juicy job...working for people in abuja is a waste of time...and most people are truly stuck and suffering..

8 No resort or relaxation centres accessible to most Abuja resident..... except club and bars..The relaxation centres are so far away that it feels you are traveling just to get relaxation...like wtf...no easy transportation system can help you navigate the town easily.....u must just have a car.......but isnt so anywhere in the world..

9. Abuja lack viable industry for its teeming residents....no capital city in the world has no industrial areas.....just politicians stealing money stashing in their homes

To me ,Abuja is a big for nothing city devoid of basic public facilities that should be accessible to population for basic living... few facilities are only found in exclusive areas of scanty population....... other people can go to hell .....
.
.Staying in Abuja is enough reason to japa and never come back If Abuja is perceived to be best in Nigeria... nonsense

How many cities in the world built from that scratch are successful today?

How many years now that Egypt have been building their new city in the desert, how much have they spent? Is the progress even up to 40%?

That's because all the so called big men living there AKA politicians spend their weekend abroad, Abuja is just a place for them to share the money it's never a place to call home for them. undecided
Re: Abuja Is The Most Useless Capital City In The World by 24kmagik:
You see that number 9, no just talk am.

I've never been to any country in the world. I don't even have a passport, but I can bet my life that Abuja is the most barren capital in the world.

Zero factories, zero industries, zero multinational company, zero production facility.

Just eateries, malls, clubs, restaurants and hotels where politicians and their children take all these prostitutes out on a date to further negotiate how to turn them to sex slaves.

The rest of the buildings are just government institutions riddled with corruption where public funds are shared among the greedy few.

Abuja will never be anything close to Lagos in terms of productivity even in a billion years time because no plans and foundations in place to make it happen. I always laugh at people who mention Abuja as one of the cities with opportunities in Nigeria.

Opportunity is near zero.

It shall never be well with past and present leaders that folded and are still folding their hands while millions of youths roam the streets of Abuja doing hookup or looking for waiter/waitress job.

DUDE, IS YOUR HEAD CORRECT AT ALL?

So you are actually expecting to see major industries and manufacturing in Abuja?

How many industries and factories do you see in Washington DC or Brasilia, or Yamoussoukro, the purpose-built Ivorian capital?

Abuja was designed to be an ADMINISTRATIVE CAPITAL, just like those cities.

A QUIET place.

There will NEVER be large numbers of industries and factories in Abuja.

It is a city for the Services Sector.

My goodness!

He is expecting the place to be like Onitsha!

Meanwhile, other Africans love and respect Abuja, so you are O.Y.O.

The emboldened is a question I expect you to ask your father.

To some idiots like you, anybody who comes online to criticize certain Nigerian structure is someone from Onitsha or around that place.
