I have just read through the actual report and I consider it highly biased and misleading.

The report neglects advances in infrastructural developments and a larger chunk of the qualitative research was based on Judgments of "in house analysts". . .literally speaking, some "oyinbo" in New York or London whose idea of a Lagos is restricted to what he/she saw in a recent documentary of "Welcome to Lagos" conducted by BBC, is left to conduct ratings on the State.

I love Calabar. A beautiful city, filled with beautiful people. What more can you ask for? And Efik women, need I say more? I praise Obasi that I am able to speak Ibibio fluently and blend in with the good people of Calabar.

And to all the people who want to open up the port to Calabar, I say NO! That city is too beautiful for that sort of industrialization. Focus on Port Harcourt, but allow Calabar to become the Miami of Nigeria.

That's my point.
Every city should be allowed to grow at their own rate, if they want.
Calabar could decide for or against becoming a major shipping hub, it should be left for the people of the area to do so, understanding the risks and benefits.
The federal goverment should only control customs and othe federal agancies, not be the decider of who develops and at what rate.

Lagos is s strange one, you either love it or hate it, but sometimes it take spending some time there to appreciate whatever it has to offer

but i would accept the universal stance on Calabar, beautiful town with beautiful people, for those who want peace, choose Calabar, if you can cope with the craziness of lagos, then it has its appeal

Oyinbos!!!!

They sure know how to demoralise and confuse us.

Lagos is a great place and its never as bad as we are always too quick to believe.

Most of this 'international' surveys are really meant for western audiences and their endless ego trips.

The best place for one to live is where one can make a good living financially, if there are no enough well paying jobs in a city for ordinary persons then counting such a place as one of the best place to live is questionable, else such a place can be classifield as best place for retirement.

What do you expect from the analysis or whatever they call it.
Robish,

Let them do same analysis on other things, u will always find africa as the worst this, worst that, yet some of there so called cities are modern slum like some part of the famous New York et all.

I don't believe this western media or whatever they are call.

I know we will get there.

I THINK OTHER NIGERIAN CITIES WILL FARE BETTER, IN SOME QUARTERS I DOUBT THEIR ANALYSIS BECAUSE OTHER CITIES (including Nigeria) COULD BE WORSE.

Re: Lagos Ranked 4th Worst Livable City In The World 2011: D'you Agree? by lanrewajew(m): 10:38am On Feb 28, 2011
I read thru dis thread, nd think al it needs is common sense. 1) D topic of d thread doesnt tally wif d suportn write up (link). 2) i smell flaws cos i checkd tru d list, nd culdnt see a realistic yardstick used. 3) cities are measured on dfrnt parameters- economy, social services, security, infrastructure, pol. stability and so on. It surprises me 2 hear sum1 compare Lag 2 Abj nd Cal jst lyk dat. U need 2 suprt ur claims wif parameters used. 4) Lagos is west africa's commercial hub, lagos airport is preferd destination to 30 airlines unequald in WA. Lagos has WA's busiest seaport. Lagos is growing at a fast pace even without FG's suport, dat tels u of sustainabilty. But stil has an enormous task wif transport, infrastructure, security and gud city plan. So it al depends on wer u want 2 rate her. Quoting d CNN reporter on d Eko Atlantic City documentary (INSIDE AFRICA), "Lagos is d signature city of Nigeria, and wil soon xtend 2 africa". U knw d reason 4 dis comment? They sense gud governance!

You mean Lagos is the 137th best livable city in the world? I don't know why you're talking backwards.

My brother, help me hear. I don't understand.
Re: Lagos Ranked 4th Worst Livable City In The World 2011: D'you Agree? by lovejo(m): 12:21pm On Feb 28, 2011
People should appreciates it that Lagos can be on the list.
How many cities do we have in the world? more than 10000, so if Lagos is 137 livable is not meant that Lagos is listed as baddest city to live.
Re: Lagos Ranked 4th Worst Livable City In The World 2011: D'you Agree? by zarfi(m): 12:48pm On Feb 28, 2011
guys it is not as bad as u see it. of all the cities in the world lagos was picked as one of the 140 livable ones. it was only in ranking those 140 cities that lag came out as 4th worse livable. of course there are worse cities out there but they are not considered livable by the standards of this survey. i hate lagos but i am kinda proud that it made the cut. my opinion!
