I've travelled to several towns and cities in Nigeria, and just last week I and my collagues flew-into Uyo city on a business trip. I became quite amazed at the rapid growth and transformation of Uyo from a small town it used to be [when i did my youth service 11 years ago] to an emerging mega-city, with very impressive infrastructure supporting its economic growth. Also, i have notice that other cities in the west and east nigeria are increasing experiencing decay in their infrastructure. So am curious to find out here why some cities are witnessing astronomical growth, while others in the same country are experiencing decline in infrastructure, economy and population.

Could the moderator send this topic to the front page so that nairalanders could response?
