Lagos is richer than every country in East Africa. Including Kenya, Somalia, Ethopia, Uganda, Tanzania, etc.
Richer in what aspect, not everyone in Lagos has bullion vans. When it comes to infrastructure: portable water,electricity,drainage,security,transportation, you will find Lagos is not that rich.

When Nigerians are ready, they will round up all their politicians who have help posts in this country since 1999 and slaughter all of them.

Until then, make them continue to dey suffer.

It's not just Somalia, a good number of these countries are developing faster than Nigeria.

Nigerians are just unusually braggadocio over absolutely nothing - you see it in everything and in almost everyone, from the elite to the poorest persons in a rural areas.

Nigerians need to stop making fun of Somalia. Tell yourselves the truth. You are not better than them.

Bro, when they say a country is at war, it doesn't mean the whole cities are up in flames.
There has been bokoharam ravaging bornu but maiduguri, the capital is still running fine.
During militancy, the river state outskirt is where the soldiers are fighting boys - like creeks and villages but i was in PH and everything was cool.
Also, the pictures you uploaded will be mostly the country capital of mogadishu, why not upload the towns outside this place.
It is not a new thing to upload capitals of most african countries just to spite nigeria.
Outside kigali in rwanda, most places are shit holes, outside accra in ghna, most places are nothing to write home about and i can keep naming more african countries like this.

That picture is of India, and in those East African nations, the issue you're not considering is development spread. Most of those countries have all their development centred in ONE CITY. Leave that city, and it's just bush and mudhuts. Uganda being a prime example. Nigeria on the other hand, has many cities, spread all across the nation.

Show me another city, besides the one shown, in Somaliland. As I previously wrote, the development in most of those nations doesn't extend further than the one city. Imagine if all of Nigeria's development was centred in one city, and everywhere else was bush and mudhuts.

This is village life in Uganda:

My ninja what's your understanding of development... Is it big towns which are 90% slums(Slumpolis)... A good example being Ibadan

Development means good roads, power supply, water supply, Internet coverage and a whole lotta other things which are found in plenty in Kenya (my country) rural areas. Note: Kenya has the fastest Internet speeds in Africa. I gotta admit that we only have two big cities ie Mombasa and Nairobi but I myself prefer residing in the rural areas because all the amenities are available there.

This is a good example...one is Kitengela town an hours drive from the city and Nakuru some two hours from Nairobi

Kenya is home to the largest slums in Africa, so you're in no position to talk about slum cities. That said, Lagos is richer than your entire country, with just 45% of its population.

Village life in Kenya isn't so bad. So props to that:

Lol don't mind him..there is nothing a Kenyan can say to me to paint a rosy image...I know kenya like the back of my palm...if that Nonsense about roads,water, internet, electricity blah blah in the rural was coming from a south African I would have gladly shut up for good but kenyaaaaaaa..nah that place is still a backwater slumpolis with nearly zero infastructure outside of nairobi which in most part of it is still largely underwhelming...
You see Kisumu and Nakuru they are two ,road-less shiity,poverty towns...go back to the video you posted and watch it exactly 7:30 , you see will a woman getting drinking water from a filthy gutter yet that dude came to brag about things like water and roads that are almost non existing their urban for the rural side....lol roads and water...oh pls make I hear word jare..

This is Nakuru another road-less ,village poverty, slumpolis zoo, village-town.....Kenyans be thinking they are SA...fools everywhere.....


Nakuru shiity road-less town on virtual tour....note this is their 4th largest urban centres..while the video you posted is the third largest urban centre (Kisumu)

You mean to say Outside the very tiny city centre of Kigali the rest of Kigali and Rwanda at large is one big cessepool shiithole mess...east African govt has a thing for cooking economic data to appear progressive and overhyping mediocre things...uhuru kenyata,Paul kegame and so many others are very good at this..

Bro, the comparison is made using development in major/capital cities as a reference point.

If we start going into villages, you'll find places in Nigeria with mud huts like in that video.

And yeah on that Nakuru video did you not see electricity connection and solar street lighting everywhere.

On matters road network.The area falls under a major fault line under in the rift valley so don't expect the country govt to be carrying out repairs every other day.

This is something I can't understand. Why is it that Somalia that has been in decades of war and devastation have better looking cities than places in Nigeria that Never ever experienced war?
No need to misinformed people here, Somalia civil war divided the country into different Authonomus region each having their own government, eg Puntland is one of the early independent Authonomus region's that have existed since the Somalian civil war and one thing about Somalian Puntland region is that it was know for being internally peaceful for many years so no need for you to keep brandishing town's/cities of Somalian Puntland region as an example of a war turn country of the entire Somalia country because it doesn't stand and ugly/not so good areas in Somalia that where affected by the Somalian civil war still exists today.
