A huge chunk of Nigeria’s oil revenue and resources went into developing Lagos since independence just like Abuja today, yet it is one of the worst places to live?

How dare you say the bold lie from the pit of hell. Everyone knows that Lagos was founded by Bola Tinubu in the year 1706 after the event of creation where alongside Allah, he participated in parting the waters to form its Lagoons. Where were you in 1914 when Bola Tinubu went further to ensure that Lagos became the capital of an amalgamated colony of Nigeria under the British? Or will you claim to have been eating agoin beans, or under a heavy weight prostitute's ministrations when the same Bola Tinubu went further to single handedly construct the sea and airports, the third mainland bridge, the national theatre, after he had set the foundations for invoking the Island from the Atlantic Ocean, where it used to be?

You must be a lazy, wicked and eminently calamituous soul if you also, in your sinisterhood, maliciously forgot how he labored to bring all the headquarters of major businesses to Lagos and attracted the huge population there, making it a large and profitable market by his singular exertions.

Now I sternly rebuke you: I exhort you and earnestly conjure you to flee your satanic ways and start giving credit to who it is due.

Eko oooo ni baje oooo,

Aaaaamin.

Zonefree:

You guys always find ways to defend failure. Tueh!

If Lagos is fourth, what number is Maiduguri, Kano, Port harcourt, etc? I dont understand the parameter they used. I live in Lagos where i can move at any time of the day.

They can continue their fight against us but Tinubu didnt need their votes to become President, we dont need their support to win second term. The report is clearly rubbish.

From these same guys that probably have not been to 5 countries of the world. They most likely live in the same Lagos they are rating.
With 2-10 employees, they are probably the only 3 people.  Aside Abuja, which other States in Nigeria can stand beside Lagos? Even with their demarketing strategies since few years now, the population of Lagos keeps growing. Why should any sensible person now pay attention to them, they are probably hustling for their daily bread, paid to provide statistic against Lagos, something that is irrelevant to the progress of Lagos other than social media banter and abuse that it will create from people that left their cities to make a living in the same Lagos.

Ask them to go back to their liveable States, rather than the population reduce, they will further bring their cousins, nephews etc.

The delusionary ones are still masturbating over Lagos being developed with Nigeria oil money. Cocoa developed most part of Nigeria until 1970. What was the infrastructural status of Lagos in1991 - Lekki does not exist as the whole of Maroko was demolished in 1990 by Raji Rasaki. SW had the first schools, first storey building, First Radio/TV Station, First School, First Railway etc.

By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population over 60,000.
Verifiable Facts.
Apapa port was established in 1913 and the construction of 1st 4 deep water berths started in 1921.
Lagos Airport was initially built during 2nd World War (1945).
Carter bridge was built in 1901.
Lagos - Abeokuta railway was opened in 1898, got to Ibadan in 1902.

All the above existed before discovery of OIL, but some delusionary people will say Lagos was bult with oil revenue when the enabling and thriving economy had existed before Nigeria, since the 15th century when the Portuguese first landed in Lagos.

As far back as 1860s, Lagos already got electricity, telephone, post office, Schools, City Hall, recreation centres, Cathedrals, public & private hospitals, tarred roads, business districts and international trade centres etc.
As you can see, many of the developments in Lagos occurred b4 amalgamation and formation of Nigeria. So, Lagos was majorly developed by the locals and colonial masters, using revenues generated from Lagos and other parts of Western Region.

Mention one thing of significant that is owned by Federal Govt in Lagos aside military barracks....?

Reason why i don't bother me arguing with some people on here is, they are either Genz's who depend mainly on the false info provided them by their elder brothers who themselves relocated to Lagos in the late 90s after removal of FCT from Lagos in 1991. One of the key reasons most companies cited their headquarters in logos was security, environment, liveability.... recently, on the Eko Atlantic, the US are building their biggest embassies in Lagos, why not in Abuja? Lagos has stability, can easily be protected from uprising or resurrection.

My first intention was to walk away from this your vituperation but if you're not corrected you may think you had made serious point to counter what the report said about Lagos among the worst liveable cities in the world.
Firstly, the report does not talk about the development of cities in the world or wealth generation of cities in the world or democratic structure of the world cities. The report is about liveability of world cities. The reports of placing Lagos as the worst liveable city in Nigeria is not just coming or out this 2024. In 2017, there was a report placing Lagos as the second worst liveable city in the world. This report helped the state governor to improve in her accessibility to education and social amenities.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/240583-lagos-second-least-liveable-city-world-report.html&ved=2ahUKEwiy_b2cwoGHAxWWZkEAHeqsCWIQFnoECCIQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0cidlhLuwtFjdiUCxHufXN

In 2022, report placed Lagos as the 4th worst liveable city in the world due to improved access to education and other critical social amenities.

I know you are just seen such news that is why you find it strange, unbelievable and denigration to the city, as you're lost to the criteria used.

If you have understood the indicators used, you won't have gone this route of writing plenty turenci that does not correlate with what they meant.

Now, for your education, Lagos is the only city in Nigeria that citizens still live under bridges, markets, slums, ghetto, asantis and some funny places. Its only Lagos you see family of ten lives in a one room apartment. Only in Lagos you see a man will park his car 1000m away from his house. Only in Lagos you see some areas , you have to walk miles away to attend school or access medical facility. These are indicators and more considered before bringing out such ranking. The funny thing is, Lagos will continue to rank that way till kingdom comes because Lagos have no land , as they have to manage the little available but that cannot take away the potentials and Lagos wealth.

So, try and be calming down before coming out to disgrace yourself and education you acquired. You even write very well but you were off point.
This is the same way, student will come out of exam and start telling his friends that he did the exam very well but after the result comes , he comes out with a pass and he will start wondering what happened, but never knew he answered the question off point.

Be calming down, it has a great recompense.

Paraman:
All does cities he mentioned are not known as major cities around the world so they are not on the list at all. No city can compete with Lagos in Nigeria.

Lagos is not a city. It is a state.

There's a difference between Lagos state and the city of Lagos

If LAGOS remains the World's 4th least liveable city in the 2024 Global Liveability Index report, I wonder how other places in Nigeria will be... Places like Benin, Kano, Onitsha, Owerri,Asaba, Ijebu Ode, Oshogbo, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Maiduguri... Lol...

May God help us Nigerians

Hope una see nigeria wey una call country

Paraman:
There's no city in Nigeria that's better than Lagos in any of the 36 state.

No other city in Nigeria is on the list except Lagos. The list is for the big boys alone.

Tell me two things why Lagos is different from order cities in Nigeria ?
No light no water no good road no good health care

I do smoke loud sometimes

It's a pity Ukraine is on the list. This is a great country but not a good place to live because of the war.
