You are only showing manhanttan

You do realize manhanttan is not entire newyork right? Its just an area in new york.
Just like lekki in lagos.

Re: Lagos Competing With Newyork by iaatmguy(m): 6:20am On Apr 17, 2017
Like seriously? Comparing Lagos to new York,? that's been over ambitious. It's sentiments like this that do not make our governments perform well.
In terms of structure you can't even compare the most developed part in Lagos to the worst part of new york
Call a spade a spade
But we will get there

Mind you am a Lagosian.
Ikorodu to be precise

1&2.Lagos

3&4 New York

Re: Lagos Competing With Newyork by ZombieTERROR: 6:25am On Apr 17, 2017
Lagos cannot even compete with Cairo or joburg not to talk of New York
Lagos that has no single underground train station.... Smh
Re: Lagos Competing With Newyork by ednut1(m): 6:33am On Apr 17, 2017
half of victoria island, lekki and environs no get drainage. small rain equals river
Re: Lagos Competing With Newyork by wristbangle: 7:08am On Apr 17, 2017
This is just mockery. Lagos that is not even up to half as beautiful as Cairo, alexandra, capetown, johannesburg, port of elizabeth let alone New York.

I am not saying lagos is not beautiful but a lot still needs to be done. Atlantic city, smart project city, transform all the mainland ghettos, work on drainage system and road network within the VI, then we can boast of an international serene city in Nigeria.
Re: Lagos Competing With Newyork by Kingsley10000: 7:12am On Apr 17, 2017
Lagos can't even be compared with 2nd tier cities in china(nanjing,wuham,hangzou,habei, xinjiang not to talk of NY.......

Lol...You need to try comedy.
Re: Lagos Competing With Newyork by Nobody: 7:56am On Apr 17, 2017
A functional city if not judged by the number of skyscrapers but whether

1: transport system - Lagos is in a gridlock due to lack of mass transit

2: electricity: do people have light for business in Lagos?

3: sanitation : how clean is your city of Lagos ?

Trust me it's easy to build tall structures, but Lagos is far from a functional 21st century city

I think this Yoruba OP has rabies. Somebody call the dog catcher to come and grab him. In a hundred years Lagos cannot match NY.

The state is moving forward.

Also the government is able to maintain a stable security. A lot of commendation for that.
Re: Lagos Competing With Newyork by firstking01(m): 8:44am On Apr 17, 2017
Lagos ke?....op is high on uda weedgrin
Re: Lagos Competing With Newyork by juman(m): 8:45am On Apr 17, 2017
The population of lagos is too much because there is no stable electricity in the country.

Millions of nigerians are forced to move to lagos to survive because they have nothing to do in their respective villages and towns.
Re: Lagos Competing With Newyork by Amberon: 9:10am On Apr 17, 2017
Pained about what exactly? If you cannot converse intellectually then desist from quoting me.

I understand that you may applaud mediocrity and are obviously blinded by sentiments but not everyone is as oblivious as you.

Re: Lagos Competing With Newyork by MrMaestro: 9:29am On Apr 17, 2017
I love lagos, but it is not there yet. But once Eko atlantic finishes, it will be BETTER than New York, that is just a fact. New York is looking dated. Anyone who has been to dubai or singapore knows New york is in the past. Lagos is the future. And the future is bright! People will laugh, but 25yrs ago you would laugh if you said Hong Kong would be a major destination, but look at it now. The same will happen in lagos 20yrs from now. These are mockups of the Eko Atlantic city.
