Why not help the masses in any way you could instead of leading senseless protests.. Protests that will add more to daily killings in Nigeria.

A protest that will be hijacked by thugs and miscreants leaving innocents people vulnerable..

Do African leaders even understand what protests means?
To my own best of knowledge, peaceful demonstration never exists in Nigeria Police dictionary..

Why adding more to the problems already on ground.. Even Hong Kong that is well developed, their police are still using force on the protesters not to talk of unprofessional Nigeria police force.

Can supposedly “educated” Africans/Nigerians please quit regurgitating every Oyinbo pablum...

Even granted the fact that most of what passes for “education” in much of colonialized Africa is substantively based on the “repeat-after-me” methodology of cramming and regurgitating with precious little (if any independent inquiry or thought), but it still should be enough of a head start of sorts that when people (many of whom have never been near Lagos and some who cannot even pick it out in a global map) start spewing gibberish about us. We should be controlling our own narratives nor merely regurgitating our own lives as seen through Oyinbo-tainted glasses.

Nonetheless, first, the supposed index was about a selected number of global cities and not all cities, so even if we are to accept their tortured index hook line and sinker as zombies without independent inquiry, query or judgment, Lagos still would not be considered as “the second worst city to live in the world” (btw, the flawed index actually rated Lagos third-lowest among those selected cities, not second). The index and the indices upon which it was based was substantively a largely subjective evaluation of the lifestyle of Westerners/Oyinbo in those selected cities. The index was NOT a measurement of the suitability/livability of those cities to INDIGENOUS lifestyles.

Lagos is an AFRICAN/Nigerian city and the best measurement for Lagos should primarily be how best it suits the lifestyles or tastes of indigenous Nigerians/Africans and not expatriates or tourists (eg, many British/Western women love The Gambia because of the thriving sexpliotation of poor young Gambian, and would probably rate it as a more preferred destination than Nigeria just on that basis). Admittedly, there are several areas of measurable commonality (particularly infrastructure), but not having a museum or opera house is of less important to most indigenous Nigerian than a good place to play draughts and eat dried fish, kpomo or nkwobi.
