BedLam: Sir you can't compare Lagos with those ones you mentioned. Cities in rank of Lagos are Abuja, Johannesburg, Cairo and Cape Town. For your information there is this Lagos Access Bank International Marathon Race introduced by Ambode Government. Many foreigners do come down for the race. You can check it out. Ambode deliberately introduced it to improve Lagos Tourism. You talked about diversity in what way? In terms of diversity only Johannesburg can rival Lagos... what are you saying. Do you know a lot of things happening on the soil of Lagos. Even in economy Lagos is bigger than the whole Kenya and Ghana. Lagos does not sleep. It is in Lagos you know nothing gets wasted. Opportunities are converted at the speed of light. See Lagos state is a state that needs to be studied on its own... many dont understand it |

Olumyco:Haha. I know a joke when I see one. Please I don't have your time. Only a joker would think a crime infested city will be more diverse than a city with less crime and mild climate. |

JOHANNESBURG NOT 'A WORLD CLASS AFRICAN CITY' (2013 News article) The Advertising Standards Authority of South Africa (ASA) has told the City of Johannesburg it has two weeks to remove an advert claiming it is a “World Class African City”. The ASA received a consumer complaint from a Mr Steven Haywood, who lodged an official protest with the ASA against the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. He said a commercial aired on Talk Radio 702 contained “blatant untruths”. “Imagine a city where you can rest assured, knowing that it is financially stable; that there is ongoing electrification of homes. A city that is saving the environment through different energy-efficient interventions. A city that continues to create new jobs despite the economic downturn. Can you imagine living in such a city? You do. These are just some of the City of Joburg’s many significant achievements. Imagine what we’re doing for you tomorrow. Visit Joburg.org.za for more. Joburg, a World-Class African City”. Haywood, in his complaint, said the commercial claims that the City is financially stable, yet it has received three consecutive qualified audits, with Pikitup bankrupt and the Roads Agency being unable to repair the roads. He also said the fact that R12 billion worth of revenue was being written off this year as “unlikely to materialise” added weight to the claim that the city was not “financially stable”, as claimed in the ad. Haywood challenged the reference to Johannesburg being “environmentally friendly”, saying the city loses R1.2 billion worth of electricity each month, and loses water to the value of R800 million per month. He referred to Pikitup leaving refuse lying in the streets for days due to fleet shortages. In effect, the City of Johannesburg now has to withdraw the commercial at issue; ensure that the instructions to withdraw this commercial are given immediately upon receipt of this ruling; and ensure that the commercial is withdrawn from all media within the deadlines stipulated. The City is not allowed to use the commercial “in its current format in future”. https://themediaonline.co.za/2013/07/city-of-joburg-not-a-world-class-african-city-says-asa/ (FULL ARTICLE) 2 Likes
