ElSudani:
Ok.

You cannot go to Addis Ababa and compare it to Lagos. Lagos bawo.
After VI and Ikoyi, Lagos don finish o, by world standard

Ofodirinwa:
This is the Tunis he's making noise about

That's a slum in Tunis, this slum is still middle class in Lagos and Abuja. Do you want to see the slums of Lagos and Abuja?

Ttipsy:
Aside South African cities especially Cape Town, Johannesburg, I don’t think there is any other African city better than Nigeria

Yes, Just go to Cotonou and come back. Let's see if you will still say the same thing.
You don't even need a lot of money to go there, 4k can get you there from mile2

NextAbuja:
Read confession of your Igbo brother, the federal government is not allowing you Igbo state to develop but same federal government provide Lagos with all it needs to develop after it abandoned all federal parasternal to root n decade.

Thank God Lagos never waited like Abia Anambra etc lamenting about FG preventing it development, instead it dust itself up n continue to develop in whatever little way it can achieve.

This pocket of develop is what kills your hate filled soul, as much as the federal government abandoned Lagos it as built it own rail a project same federal government stopped in the 70's this rail project will never be accomplish by Anambra Abia Enugu till Jesus return, we can all understand how deep that hurts

Lagos built it on port after it was abandon by the same FG but you do not see it wailing about not being allowed to develop like Abia Anambra Enugu etc

Bro, if you like continubu creating thread like this till Jesus return no state in your region will measure up to Lagos in terms of development or in terms of anything till Jesus return.

That is the reason I countered your narrative so people can see you for the bigoted Ipob labouring in vain to denigrate Lagos while not highlighting the superiority of same Lagos over your 5 wretched underdeveloped south east state.

Again, the debate is between Nigeria's most developed cities and other African cities. It's not about what a daft tribal bigot wants to discuss.
You can open another thread to discuss this

ElSudani:
Sir, perhaps they now have new skyscrapers, even at that Addis Ababa is nowhere near Abuja or Lagos with what I saw with my own eyes.

You didn't go anywhere, I can swear to God

NextAbuja:
It is trash because you know till Jesus return even if no single house is built in Lagos from this hour none of Abia Anambra Enugu etc will catch up.

All your effort labouring in vain aim to do is denigrate Lagos out of bigoted tribalist hate n jealousy you inherited from your mother's womb.

Alaska was a waste land to Russia but the USA transformed it n today no state in Russia is more developed. You Igbo complain daily about Lagos underdevelopment which I agree with but state you governor have failed to overtake this underdeveloped Lagos. What could be the problem.

The Koko here is no matter how hard you wailing miserable till the year 9090 no ipob state will be 1/10 as developed as this underdeveloped Lagos.

That is what hurts your soul n no one cares if the pain it gives to you never cease.

the topic is about Most developed cities in Nigeria versus other African cities.
You are too daft to comprehend

NextAbuja:
Yes of course we should not mention Anambra n Abia as they do not need to develop only Lagos needs to develop.

I laugh when Ipob clowns like you talk about tribalism, same you that was nurtured with chronic irredeemable bigotry and hate from your mother's womb.

That is what who should waste precious time debating. Lagos as cease developing we all agree let other state over it.

This was how Cape Town overtook Joburg in South, let Anambra or Abia overtake Lagos.

you re spewing trash

ElSudani:
I've been to Addisa baba, I spent two weeks there.

Adisa Ababa has constant electricity, intracity water board and a better road connection. Addis Ababa got an intracity rail system long before Lagos.
That's city is even more developed than Abuja and Lagos combined.

Addis Ababa central district has better newer and longer skyscrapers than Lagos. What are you even saying?

Winneepye:
Lagos and Abuja are both well developed cities in world standard, we should stop inferiority complex. Everybody that travels like the op can testify to that. What we lack is maintaining culture. There are places in both cities that will make you feel like us or uk. Stop passing wrong information because you hate your country

By what world standard.
Lafos does not have a water board, no constant electricity, a lot of bad roads. The huge majority of lagos is a slum

onumadu:
Nairobi is not more "developed" (as in built up) than Lagos.
But it is certainly more civilized and cleaner than Lagos.
Gaskia.

Nairobi is as built up, cleaner and has more infrastructures than Lagos. There's no city in the whole of West Africa that can compete with Nairobi in terms of development.
Try visiting their sometime

Mrexcell:
The mental decay and damage is really a very deep one the most pitiful is seeing poor and wretched nigerias praising and supporting the same leaders that undeveloped their land and rendered them totally useless.

You still can see some people arguing about this. People who never left Nigeria.

They see their Lagos and Abuja as gold. They won't understand what I am saying until they leave Lagos to another major African City

Ofodirinwa:
You have inferiority complex and you want reality to mold to your complex rather than you addressing it.

GDP, Lagos v. The Whole Countries Talkless of Cities

Lagos: $266.55 (2021)
Ethiopia: 111.3 billion USD (2021)
Libya: 42.82 billion USD (2021)
Morocco: 142.9 billion USD (2021)
Algeria: 163 billion USD (2021)
Tunisia: 46.69 billion USD (2021)


So nobody knows what you mean by 'development' because Lagos is the #1 city in Africa by a distance

I'm not talking about GDP, I'm talking about actual infrastructural development.
If you consider infrastructure, Lagos and Abuja are no where top 20 in Africa

NextAbuja:
But don't forget Lagos made it go the list but no other state did.

South Africa had 4 state on the list
Morocco Egypt Tunisia have two each where are the likes of

Anambra Abia etc

Dude, we have a long way to go. Should I shock you?

Cotonou and Lome are far more organized and have more infrastructure than Lagos generally and I don't even want to mention Accra. Nobody that has been to those cities will disagree, Lagos only has more economy and money but we don't see what they are using the money for.

The question boils down, if Lagos is as wealthy as Johannesburg, why is Lagos not as developed as Johannesburg? Think about it

kenny714433:
Nigeria is a very large slum. Let's tell ourselves the truth.

In your spare time, go to Google, type compare Nigeria with (input any country). You would discover we are only in par with countries like Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Cameron, and other war torn countries. But we're not at war!

The only thing we beat most countries is child birth and stupid unproductive landmass which has even be occupied by bandits.

The scariest part of it is that before we get it right and things start to fall in place, we'll be in our 70s/80s because its quite hard to build.

with the way things are going, I don't think Nigeria will be okay in our live time because of the level of mental decay

Nairobi, Kenya

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Casablanca, Morocco

Tunis, Tunisia

Alexandria, Egypt

Oran, Algeria

Johannesburg

I know Lagos is probably the most developed city in Nigeria by landscaping and second to Abuja infrastructure but going outside of Nigeria, Lagos and Abuja may not be able to compete with their contemporaries infrastructural wise.
This post is not to meant to undermine Nigeria but for us to see that we have a long way to go as a nation.
When I mean infrastructure, I refer to transport system, aesthetics, public water, organization and quality of life.

1. Johannesburg, South Afria
2. Cairo, Egypt
3. Durban, South Africa.
4. Cape Town, South Africa.
5. Oran, Algeria.
6. Casablanca, Morocco.
7. Tunis, Tunisia
8. Pretoria, South Africa.
9. Alexandria, Egypt.
10. Algiers, Algeria.
11. Rabat, Morocco.
12.Nairobi, Kenya.
13. Tripoli, Libya.
14. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

FOXDOSSIER:
This is what I am talking about you ediots always get angry when Anambra is qualified in certain terms? Why not go to your state thread and say whatever you want about your backward useless cursed state. Why are you angry that he related Anambra to hongkong. ?

Anambra dog don dey bark

SGANIVA:
If all igbo people will start investing in there homes and helping there brothers like Anambra people, igboland will be like hong Kong

is Anambra like Hong Kong?
How did you know that other igbo brothers in other states don't do it?

nairalandankrah:
The indigenes are being terrorised!

it's a lie, IPOB.

Nigeria is safe and everyone is okay

EreluRoz:
It's too small for marriage, you can't get anything reasonable with that amount.

you dey craze

Too bad, let's stop voting for leaders who don't care

Una too like mumu arguments for this nairaland

GreatBoss:
Do you know that despite the fact that Ijaws are larger than Igbos in Population, and is the 3rd largest tribe in Nigeria you can never see any professional Ijaw beggar anywhere in the whole world.


Ijaw with 2,800 villages and settlements were unjustly balkanized into six States of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom States when we are fully together and not even scattered by God.



Ijaw our past, Ijaw our present, Ijaw our future.
Ijaw we know, Ijaw our final home.


@General Ditari.

lol

GreatBoss:
It is Port Harcourt

it's not, that place does not exist in port Harcourt. I suspect that you changed moniker, you re the same person that opened this thread

I can swear with amadioha or Ogun that the place in that picture does not exist in port Harcourt

Poisonousman:
So you dey type say port Harcourt no get skyscraper.. abi you no get sense

That's not what I'm saying, stop creating a strawman.

What I'm saying is that the picture is not port Harcourt

forgiveness:
It's indeed Port Harcourt.

it's not, I know port harcourt more than I know any city in this country.

If it's, tell me the name of the area
