The case of Lagos is complex and you know it. Even meteorologists when they forecast weathers for cities in Nigeria, they say for example Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Ibadan and Lagos. This you know. Besides the land mass of Lagos is the least in Nigeria after Anambra I guess. you'd have to strain your eyes to see its shape properly. Hence when talking about Lagos, You just generalise. Besides all parts of Lagos are somewhat developed so kilode? Remember a place needs a good amount of land mass to qualify as a city too. Lagos is both a state and a city

well said bro.. Lagos should be number one.. As for Port Harcourt where I base, I wish it was located closer to the shores or Atlantic Ocean (more like Bonny).. it would have looked a lot better in terms of scenery

Lagos, Abuja and Kano are developed by the federal government due to one reason or the other. they are no man's land so remove them.

As a Nigerian that has travelled and Shuttling between regions etc. This is my "unbiased and candid Arrangements:
1. Lagos
2. Kano
3. Port-Harcourt
4. Ibadan
5. Enugu
6. Kaduna
7. Abuja

My basis for the arrangement:
- Economic activity, which is Number 1 and the reason I can call a city developed in the first place
- Infrastructures which is number 2.

* Would have rated kaduna before Ibadan but like I said, my number 1 basis is Economic Activity.

* Quite difficult to determine which should come first, kaduna or Enugu but in this case, I used cleanliness lol. Or maybe I'm just biased. I love state of Enugu. Very good weather too hence Enugu came first. This is subject to criticism which I can agree.

* Would have rated Abuja over kaduna, Enugu, Port-Harcourt and even Ibadan BUT my number 1 priority is Economic activity. 2. Abuja is a transit town. Go to Abuja during festive seasons and you'll hate yourself. Everybody's gone back home. Abuja is not a serious town. It's economic activity is not stable and secured. Remove the seat of power from Abuja and you won't even see Abuja on the map again. It won't even stand close to nasarawa sef in terms of economic activity. Abuja is really fake and it's a civil service town. Not a town for serious business. Wise companies place their headquarters in Abuja but have what they call "corporate headquarters" in Lagos just in case lol. They are wise. Businesses in Abuja are just there to be closer to Government officials and nothing more. After they get what they want, THEY LEAVE.

Please "NEATNESS" wasn't a basis used as what's the use of neatness where there's no money.
Your constructive criticisms are welcomed. First picture Enugu


Economic activities as your criteria for this analysis. Then what is Abuja even Enugu doing here. Where is Anambra state?

Lagos, Kano and port Harcourt quite agreed.

you can't compare enugu and ibadan when you are talking about economy and development activities.

If it was about state economy I'll agree anambra and ogun are better than Edo but enugu isn't better than Benin if we are fair

I agree with you on that at bolded because the comparison was flawed at the point...

Now the issue of Enugu and Benin. Can you add something little to draw the difference a bit. Maybe I can see beyond that.
