I'm not surprised cuz the last time I visited Nigeria, I was taken aback as to how an unkempt city like Lagos seem to be the Silicon Valley of the unorganized nation

Honestly, If I was Bill Gate, the only business I will have with Nigerians is to buy their country. Use it for stock trade in America big firms and allow Top Tech companies to buy a share of it. What I'm saying is that in the realm of my imagination, your country is sold-off already. I even heard that your PVC is now on large Chinese online store like Alibaba. You guys should just calm down and chill. Gradually, we're getting there as your country will soon be on Amazon and the poorest man in America will add it to cart. Meanwhile, the last time I checked, most underdeveloped countries don't exceed $17 million when put up for sale online. If I'm lucky to be the buyer as an American, it'll be nice having a country dominated with primitive minds and black mentality and refurbishing it after all.

Copy and paste, I've seen this write-up more than hundred times

The reason I don't believe these so-called news is because they are void of facts. How can Baghdad, Juba, Tegucigalpa, San Salvador, Mosul and other murder stricken cities be better than Lagos?

That's how one nonsense published that Nigeria has superceded India in poverty (!?) It just doesn't make sense, Indians are well over a billion(1.3 billion) and 60% of these population don't have access to toilets which is around 780 million people. So if 780 million people don't have a basic structure as a toilet, how on earth does Nigeria a country of 200 million people have more living in poverty? angry

Seriously, I smell a big conspiracy.

Anyways, Baba Buhari till 2023

Read the English well biko they said in Africa Nigeria carry first the stats is not world wide. Besides there is a mistake somewhere,because Nigeria should have carried first in the whole wide universe

This is serious. Honestly it's quite true.


Simi is currently one of Nigeria’s best female artistes. She released her bestselling album, Simisola last year. That project cemented her as a viable option in the music industry.

Having hit songs has not caused her to slow down at all. She’s still releasing songs and working hard. Earlier today, she posted this on Twitter proving to Nigerians that success has only fueled her ambition.

Sometimes, I begin to think there is some racist elements when they are grading Lagos and other African cities as the worst city to live in. , For a city in of one of the most corrupt country, it is quite impressive that Lagos still manage to work despite boosting a huge population. Some cities look very nice on the outside, but if you venture and live in those cities at night you go know e.g Chicago.

Giant of Africa, Nigeria, have been featured in international rankings once again in THE GLOBAL LIVEABILITY INDEX 2018 REPORT And this time the city of Lagos is our focal point.

Nigeria's commercial nerve center and golden city is the worst city to live in Africa.

The revelation is according to the Economist Intelligence Unit, EIU's 2018 ranking of the world's most liveable cities. Lagos city was ranked 138th of the 140 countries ranked by the EIU.

With a relatively low score of 38.5 per cent, Lagos was just a little above Syria's war-torn capital, Damascus, and Bangladesh's Dhaka. Both cities are hotbeds of violence, destruction and war.

Lagos was closely followed by Zimbabwe's Harare, the city was ranked 135th and had an
overall rating of 42.6. Also with a rating of 20.8/100 the city had the worst health care in Africa followed by Cameroon's Doula which got the second worst healthcare in Africa with a score of 25.0/100.

This is not Lagos first rodeo, sometime around march 2018 Mercer’s also ranked Lagos among the worst cities to live in Africa.

Report Summary
According to this years ranking, Lagos, Nigeria (138) was the lowest ranking African city for quality of living as the worst city to live in Africa.
They are followed by Zimbabwe, Harare (135), Libya, Tripoli (134), Camoroun, Douala (133) and Algeria, Algiers (132) make up the Top 5.

Below are The worst cities to live in Africa 2018 according to EIU

6. Senegal. Dakar
(10th in the world)
5. Algeria, Algiers(9th in the world)
4. Cameroon, Douala
(8th in the world)
3. Libya, Tripoli
(7th in the world)
2. Zimbabwe, Harare
(6th in the world)
1. Nigeria, Lagos
(3rd worst in the world)

The Economic Intelligence Unit examined factors such as stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, infrastructure in its latest ranking.

Immediately I think of Tripoli Libya, Damascus, Lebanon, Bagdad and other cities in Afghanistan, I know this is rubbish.

They go to peaceful cities, destroy them, create chaos to drive the people into desert and sea, then call them unlivable.

Maybe if they stop their economic sabotage the world would be a better place.

Imagine imposing sanctions on African countries for banning their used clothes.

So, according to you, Oyibo made Lagos unlivable?

Yet one region that makes too much noise don't know that what's keeping Lagos is the Sea Port, since the one in Onne is yet to be dredged. I moved my factory out of Lagos long ago, and soon after I became that big boy I'd wanted. Purchasing power is low; the dorminant residents are dirty and unorganized.Fvck Lag joor!

Nigerian youths be careful and wary of their agenda. Don't let them get to you. You already kmow who you are. Yes, we have a situation on our hands. But that should not define us. We should tell them to go back in history and show us how rosy their glossy cities were just 50 - 60 years ago. We are behind but not sitting and watching. I am sure some of you are already doing something. First thing is to bring in a new generation of leaders. That's the only way up.

I have Lived in some cities in Nigeria Lagos Inclusive, I found out that irrespective of the fact that Lagos has lots of numerous job and business opportunities there are millions of people in Lagos who live in poverty. The worst is that these set of people cannot go back home because of the BIG name Lagos command. If you want to enjoy Lagos to the fullest zoom into the city sell your product, offer your services and zoom out to other serene and cool cities like Enugu and Owerri to enjoy clean and greener environment. I have even forgotten about traffic that one is hell.
