See your lie. "Passing through Lagos during a journey" lagos that is at the western edge of Nigeria and completely surrounded by Ogun. Where could be travelling from or to that you pass through Lagos?
Broaden your mindset bro! Yes, the person you quoted is right. Once you are coming into Nigeria from abroad, you are most likely going to pass through Lagos because most flights connect to the city.

I really don't get why people say the above.

There are many types of jobs in Abuja not just politics. Do establishments not have employees? Do the embassies, hotels, restaurants, real estate/ construction company's not have employees and owners? What about the markets, the banks? What about catering? The only Lagos specific jobs are those that are in some head quarters because they are located there, the wharfs and businesses to do with the ports. All other businesses are in both Lagos and Abuja so have people both owning and employed there.

We all know ashawos exist in both Lagos and Abuja.

There are major negatives that impact the lives of Lagosians negatively that just don't exist in Abj like the daily 'agbero toll' heaped on the heads of the poor, the frustrating traffic that affects both rich and poor. The noise pollution and general bad air quality. Let alone the aggressive and oppressive nature of Lagos and many of its people.

The main complaint Lagosions have about Abj is so called boredom or calmness. Never the aspects above that I pointed out about Lagos.
I actually like as you elucidated your points but take note sha that jobs are fewer in Abuja than Lagos, Bro. that's the reality!

Well for me, here is my analysis

Abuja

Serene structure
Good road network
Less traffic
High cost of accommodation
High feeding cost
Quite low employment rate except political & federal government jobs
Moderate power supply
Quite low social life

Lagos
Rough structure except Island areas
Poor road network on mainland areas but good network on the island
Jam traffic congestion
Cost of accommodation depends on area
Moderate feeding cost
High employment rate
Moderate power supply
24/7 fun place

Left to me, if I have a job with N200,000 per month, I would prefer Lagos. Taking same job at that amount in Abuja would not make one meet up daily expenses.

Wait oo. Who told you guys all these lies about cost of feeding being higher in Abuja?

Abuja is situated directly in the foodbelt of Nigeria where a lot of farming activities go on. Food is more expensive in Lagos due to long distance transportation of these farm products from the north!

Foodstuffs in Abuja is even cheaper than Lokoja. Food is cheap especially when bought in bulk.

I tendered my resignation the first day I went to Lagos, for a lucrative job, even though my house was at Dolphin Estate, and the office on Lekki Expressway.... You can never be in Lagos and remain sane.

Can't forget the day I saw people backing people for money, to help them cross a flooded area, after it rained heavily. The craziness is just out of this world.

I will always choose Abuja over Lagos.

She is absolutely right. Pretty angry and have no respect for their fellow being . They can insult someone from sun rise till sun set. Their traffic is nothing to write home about.
our traffic is nothing to write home about because Lagos is arguably the smallest state in Nigeria in terms of land mass but has about 8 million vehicles (to put it in context, the number of cars in Lagos is equivalent to the number of people in abuja) ,now take ur "L" peacefully.

But we Lagosians are not complaining, I hate a boring life, ABUJA is a boring place to leave, I schooled at Garki College, working in Lagos, I am very used to Lagos life, I hate sluggish people, ABUJA is a sluggish place to be, when ever I visit ABUJA I don't stay there more than 5 days. You will hate your life when you celebrate Christmas, new year or easter in ABUJA, every where will just be deserted. So for your information, Lagos is not for lazy brats like you. Eko ile, Eko ooni baje.

Can you precisely point out the lie in my comment?

LET ME ADD MORE

1. Lagosians worship money, and they call that hustle

2. The day I wanted to visit my friend, at a place called Alapere Estate, I saw a human corpse being marched by vehicles on the road, and nobody cared to stop.

3. As I reached my destination, I saw another corpse abandoned by the roadside, and nobody cared to attempt tracing its identity.... My friend told me that the residents of the area would contribute money and have it disposed, when it starts to decompose.

4. There was a day I tried to ask one old woman for direction, before I could say Jack Robinson, the woman started shouting, "Abeg Mek I See Road"

This is totally crazily inhumane

See who's asking.
Someone who has no idea of his ancestry, has no explanation of his creation or existence, has no achievements today and no hope for the future.

Yorubas built the Oyo empire, Binis built the Benin Kingdom, Hausas built the Kanem-Borno empire. Mention a single civilisation built by your fathers.

Just for the records, the Hausas did not build the kanem-borno empire. It was built by the Kanuris and Kanembus.
The Hausas built the Hausa city states/Hausa kingdoms before the fulanis built the caliphate.

Jos infrastructurally cannot be compared to Abuja. Jos is more like bauchi.

Of course you cannot compare Jos to Abuja but it is unfair to compare Jos with Bauchi.
Bauchi can be compared with Jalingo, Makurdi, Lokoja, Yola.

A certain Abuja based lady identified as Bibian Chinenye Pius-Urum has taken to to Facebook to give a narration on which city is better between the nation's capital Abuja and Lagos. According to her argument, Abuja should never be compared to Lagos as the standard of living is extremely higher in the capital city.

And for your bruised brain having empire is the standard yardstick for history?

The Jews that control world affairs , which empire did they have?

I have not been to Abuja before but I have been in Lagos in all my life. Simply put Lagos is in total disorder. As for those saying Lagos Island has more road network than the Lagos mainland must be high on weed. The Lagos mainland has good road network than the island. Lagos is simply dirty atmospherically if there is any word like that sha

As at 2013 when I visited Jos and Bauchi for about two weeks, Bauchi was much organized and neater than Jos. I may be wrong since I didnt visit the whole parts of the two towns.

The lady lacks imagination. Lagos is the business and industrial hub of not just Nigeria,but West Africa, while Abuja is the administrative capital. It's just like comparing Washington and Carlifornia.

It would be fewer, Lagos is a city of 20 million people and counting.
Still so many unemployed in both cities, that's also the reality.
