Id rather remain in Benin Dan lag.
Useless place.
Where residents wake up 4am to work and close 10pm.
Den traffic 3 hours
U get home,on d way armed robbers rob you
Lastma and wohala
Omo onile and wohala
Why struggle to live in Lagos, when you can eat sleep peaceful and start live elsewhere without traffic and scammers too many for laag.
An average lagosian is an experienced scammer

The city of Lagos is unarguably one of the largest and most important cities in Africa. A former capital city of Nigeria, the city of Lagos serves as the business hub and commercial nerve centre of the country. The city stands at the forefront of economic development and is regarded as the entertainment capital of West Africa.

At the bolded, Lagos is not the largest, not even close, more like the most populated.

Op...must be on some yaba weed. Firstly for putting VI last and also rating yaba first. ...what happened to surulere. .....oshodi...ajao estate. ....you kan dey mention magodo wey no far to ibadan...how many people dey stay VI, ...Instead say ikoyi. ...next time do your ratings well
forgot to add my hood Ajao, traffic within the estate is better now that the road to canoe has been fixed, but the issue of electricity no be here, also I like the way they outlawed commercial okada riders from the area. Ajao is close to both local and international wings of the airport, close to ikeja, direct link to the island via oshodi-anthony- gbagada axis, also a straight link to mile 2 / festac axis via cele- ijesha - apapa expressway.
Downside is its shares a border with isolo,ikotun axis.

Lagos state is too small and has to merge with Ogun,Osun,ibadan,parts of ondo ,to form a world class mega city. -City 1
It would also be a good idea to build another mega city on the east coast which will encompass the landmass akwa ibom ,parts of cross river,parts of Rivers state . City 2
Abuja should be extended to merge with jos . Capital city

another mega city which will encompass kano state and parts of kaduna and jigawa states must be built . City 3

Enugu will be another mega city ,but will not have skyscrapers ,just one landmark tower like Eiffel tower . Enugu mega city will extend to it's suburbs which will encompass parts of anambra state ,imo states ,ebonyi state . City 4

the rest of the landmass outside of the above will be demolished and preserved as parks . I understand that Nigeria is an ethnic and tribal country ,but unfortunately ,everyone's village can not be developed . I think my plan above has tried to include something for everyone . every corner cannot be developed . Nigeria will never ever develop that way . I truly think tribe should be abolished because we are all just human beings and what we seek is a functioning society for all people .


reasons why Nigeria will never develop because there are 250 tribes and numerous towns , each of these want skyscrapers in their villages. it's impossible . better way: build a central city and move everyone from countryside to the cities and preserve lands as parks .
You would rarely find vast grasslands and empty lands in Nigeria because every square inch of Nigeria is someone's village .Nigeria can't develop that way.

Not sure you know Lagos that much. All the areas mentioned are cool and honestly VI is overrated. Check it out when it rains.

As for me, give me gbagada any day. Most central for entry and exit to any part of Lagos or even out of Lag
I so agree with you. I stay at Gbagada and you sure can link any part of Lagos from there easily. It is like centre for exit into the mainland, island and even outside of Lagos.

I think my plan above has tried to include something for everyone . every corner cannot be developed . Nigeria will never ever develop that way . I truly think tribe should be abolished because we are all just human beings and what we seek is a functioning society for all people .


reasons why Nigeria will never develop because there are 250 tribes and numerous towns , each of these want skyscrapers in their villages. it's impossible . better way: build a central city and move everyone from countryside to the cities and preserve lands as parks .
