THE AMAKA:

Skyscrapers don't necessarily make a city great, but the major cities should have a type of skyline. As for the smaller towns, they can be of world class standard without having skylines per say.

Even a major city can have skyline without necessarily having so tall buildings. The height of buildings in a downtown is not what actually makes it, It is what a city has to offer that makes it.

Nebeuwa: Until I see skyscrapers that touch the heavens, then I am not impressed.

Fountains and round-abouts do not impress me. I want to see industries, skyscrapers, and 21st century hospitals.

At least Nigerian cities can start putting sidewalks for pedestrians and CLOSED SEWERS!

Ur comment makes sense but the "skycraper" stuff came off kind of childish. Nigerian cities don't need skyscrapers really, just make the cities work, make it livable, construct infrastructures that make life easy. Provide security and automate ur businesses. That is what ppl are willing to see when they come to Nigeria, not skyscrapers... Skyscrapers can be a city's worst nightmare when things are not working. There are several examples but just check Detroit. Skyscrapers spontaneously evolve after a city's several years of uninterrupted fortune, it is not what u can just invoke.

Controversy: Ibadan

Did you just call this place ibadan? That's lagos.


...Your username speak more about you. Liar

We don't need pictures but factual statements. The pictures are one-sided.

emiye: The Old rusty roofs aerial view of many SW capital cities is the prize for early development.

early development. . That was arrested in the 60s and stopped since then. While odas moved forward

Only public buildings make sense in Ibadan and the western region, d rest are still old, sorry looking houses

And this SPAMBUTTER of a poster is a disgrace.

So, u posted pictures of Anambra villages in flood of 2012 and want me to do wat with it?
Well, they are still finer than ibadan without the flood

Is that all the op is going to show us?

Well, this is a waste of time.

This is what we are supose to be doing and not just abuja nd lagos like say na the only cities 4 naija ,
States with potencials of mega cities are:
Kaduna
Aba

@Chikezie.lol..U funny die! Esp the part that says even Ajegunle in Lagos has some of the things Calabar city has.

All in All, Lagos has really changed cos those ugly pix doesn't look it @ all. We might not have goTten there but we are moving @ a fast pace. Eko O Ni Baje!

I can't but pity the poor reasoning ability of some people, we've read on a thread posted by an Igbo on how much dirt in Imo State capital, Owerri is resulting into an epidemic outbreak, yet the OP posted nice pictures of the town which his fellow "Jews" cursed the Governor about.
BTW, why was my thread on the elapsed ultimatum to Fashola removed, mods?

Blackteeth: Some cities are rusting

LMAO seriously when I saw d pics of some capitals, especially that of SE & North..
I wonder Northern cities fairing better than most cities, even ikeja.
...
CANT YA ALL SEE THE OP IS AN ANNOYINGLY FUNNY CHAP (pls dont mind my adv)

..d OP is SWIFT in rubbishing Ibadan where I reside (not my hometown) with the pic, unfortunately that is enough EVIDENCE showing he has never toured round any other SW state, probably except Lagos (sebi Lagos na him fatherland na ).

I thank GOD Iv used a whole year in Enugu SE as a corper..If u divide Ibadan into 10 (no joke) ,the whole capital still never measures up to a one tenth. ..and despite d size of a cave, u ll still get villages.
...same with Aba.

...Anyway, brown roofs or not, does it matter when we have things like this:

(gdp)
Lagos- $33+ B
.
Oyo- $16+ B
.
.
Imo-$14+ B
.
.
.
.
.
Abia- $9+ B
.
.
.
Anambra- $4+ B

etc

..

ShymX: Nigeria has only one city and that's Lagos.

The rest, including the boring and sleepy Abuja, are glorified towns and villages.

However, I'm quite impressed with the North.

As for the South, you lot talk too much.

sorry,lagos is not the only Nigerian city.
It's even overrated when compared to some parts of the country.
And yes,the South talks too much.

The Northern states are better than their southern counterparts in more ways than one.
The few states in the South that can compete with the North when it comes to good roads and serenity are SS states.
