Lagos: The pride of Nigeria

Not quite!

MathsChic:
Some days ago, I was at a secondary school in Surulere (across the bridge from the Island) in Lagos for a friend's event where he is educating secondary students about the perils of peer pressure. I honestly wasn't expecting what I saw as the state of this secondary school.
It left me wondering if this was a school or a dump yard. Why in heaven's name are Nigerian leaders looking the other way while the young ones study in this sorry environment?

The attached pictures are what I saw. This is no secondary school. It's a hopeless shanty. I hope this gets to front page and attracts the necessary attention.

No city in Nigeria can be compare to south Africa cities.

If truly lagos wants to be a city to be reckon with, a lot of planning needs to be put in place and a lot of properties will be destroy.

young man brown is a colour, meaning it's just one of the colour of roofs,, are we not in the same nigeria, why only East, so you guyz are not knowledgeable enough to be able to control erosion.. Bwahahshwaaaa,, just compare the sight of a brown roof to a red mud erosion ravaged land.. Hhsyhfdfuifswawawawa >

Why mention the Good people of South East when we all know that Lagos is No man's land

I don't understand you people again oo! When mile12 crisis happen, y'll was saying fulani inflicting pains on yorubas in their soil but now when lagos is mention to be among mega city, you are saying it's no man's land.

This contradiction is too much mehn!

stephenduru:
Global city rankings have rated Lagos as one of the mega cities in the world alongside New York City, Beijing, Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro, Johannesburg, plus more.

As one of those cities having a population in excess of 17 million people - LASG says it is imperative to provide facilities and infrastructure for the city that will cope with such large demographics and which will be of comparable standard to what is obtainable in all other mega cities in the World, so as to ensure high quality life for the residents of Lagos.

In line with these needs and objective, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has conceived an initiative to provide the city of Lagos with world class residential, business recreational and other facilities that will measure up to what is obtainable in all the mega cities of World. This will position the state as one of the best cities to live and work on the African Continent.

Lol, wrong analysis. Just 15% bro. Besides these areas mentioned are just few areas in idumota. This place is a slum and I feel Ambode need to work on it immediately.

Lol! I don't know why everything about Nigeria is always quantity and not quality! What actually makes a megacity? It's not just by population, even the so called Lekki and VI are considered "middle income" in advanced countries, I don't know what people actually celebrate in this slum.

Hmm, Igbo again!!!

Good

what is so good about it? Lagos is a mega city simply because of population, compare to any if the other cities and Lagos is a slum. A megacity with no infrastructure. We like to celebrate nonsense. Anybody who has been to any of these cities would not want Lagos to be mentioned because it just highlights the shame of Lagos and Nigeria

naijaking1:
Lagos is the only one in the list were you have some primitive tribal chief claiming ownership whenever it's convenient. Can you imagine Jews claiming NYC as their exclusive inheritance? Threatening to to drown Oklahomans who might vote republican in the next election?
You can't be a World rated city while clinging to your primordial instincts of tribalism.

Educate yourself, Jews are immigrants in N.Y just like the Ibos in Lagos, you read Newyork for your Bible? the owners of the land in America are the American Indians.

those flat heads people will not like this news

lagos was mentioned. U brought in SE u see how unreasonable u sound.

A "Megacity" is simply an urban area with a population of more than 10 million people.

That's all.

Lagos is surely a megacity by population.

I don't see the big deal about this when you take into account that Nigeria is the most populated black nation on the planet.

This issue of brown roof only shows the

- stark ignorance
- parochial world view
- robust illiteracy
- neglect of one's history.

The EQUALLY endowed oyinbos that we hasten to run and serve as under-employed slaves do TOURISM to their own brown roof OLD towns, with buildings that have been in existence for many CENTURIES but still well maintained such as the one below in Rome.
Any chance that we black people can stop being mentally LAZY and exercise our God-given brains
