Nigeria is perhaps one of the only two countries in Africa where the capital is not the most popular city even though the capital is the most developed in the country in terms of roads and electricity.

Rugby is for untalented hacks. All brawn no brain. That's why it remains unpopular and boring.

Rugby , cricket an other sports like golf are sports for elites..football is for common man. That is the reality whether you like it or not .
I know football is very popular in Naija but that's a game for peasants...let's just agree in sports there is a caste system.

u're very correct with this. Most Africans think Lagos is d capital of Nigeria. I noticed that when I watched some YouTubers asking about the capitals of countries.

Even the Kenyans thought d same when they came here and were dumbfounded when they realized that Nigeria's capital is not Lagos.

Although "developed" is relative, I still believe Lagos is more developed than Abuja but Abuja is more beautiful than Lagos.

Okay, in what sense are you using developed though? Abuja has better roads in general than Lagos right? and they are thesame size (as far as I know). In many parts of Abuja,people enjoy up to 21 hours of electricity on average (especially in non rainy season). I know lagos has more jobs and skyscrapers, but in terms of good road networks and serenity in a city on average, Abuja takes it right?

Apart from golf, the others you mentioned are just like football in terms of class. It only depends on your level of talents, which you obviously lack in all the sports you listed, especially football.

Go to India and see them playing cricket in slums, Pakistan and Jamaica too. I guess indians and pakistanis are mainly elites.
But you little Indians are too petty in your bias against football to see this.

Rugby actually came out of soccer. It's a very poor boring version of soccer. Go to the Pacific islands and see rugby played on scrub fields. I guess they're all elites there too.
If those games are superb enough, they would have transcended to all classes. But they lack the supernatural appeal of football.

It's just a pity you little Indians are trying hard to denigrate soccer all because you suck at it. Sour grapes are really sour.

I love how you were been specific on the aspect of real estate boom that Abuja needs to match up (more office spaces) because in terms of residential buildings, Abuja is already there and the city can comfortably host 7m + with everyone having a luxury accommodation to his head.

no bro..Kenyans learn alot about other countries..any Kenyan will definitely know Abuja is the Capital city of Nigeria..

IGpro1:
If we're to go by quality and beauty of infrastructural development,
Kenya is behind Tanzanian, they know how to do quality stuffs.
But my only issue with Tz is their one city development. Aside Zanzibar, only Dar is developed.
Same with Ethiopia and all East African countries.
Kenya at least has Mombasa as second city.

In west Africa, we develop 2 cities
Nigeria has 5
Abuja
Lagos
Port Harcourt (capital city)
Kaduna
Kano.
West Africa not concerned about tourism, builds cities for development sake, not to attract tourists but expatriates and investors, hence, Nigeria in particular is more concerned about building free trade zones, CBDs, office spaces than picturesque development.

We have efficient transport system, many functioning local and international airports and building more.
Many sea ports and some still under development.

What do u mean by the word " development "?
If you mentioned Kano as being developed, or Kaduna and port Harcourt,then why are u saying east Africa has one city states?
And which are those picturesque developments?

FYI..
In TZ,Dar es salaam isn't a tourist destination per se. Most tourists visits Arusha,moshi and Zanzibar.So Dar'salaam isn't being developed for tourists.The same way in our SGR, it is developed to pass through the central part of a country,again, the area isn't a tourist destination.

Tz SGR is under construction. To date,more than 7b is already poured on the ground. Upon completion, more than 14b will be used.
Anyway,your SGR which u were busy celebrating about, is just equivalent to our TAZARA which was built more than 40 years ago.
Do u even have sleeper train in your Kenya?

Here is Tazara,built ages and ages ago.....

developed and beautiful are two different things, Abuja is developed, no doubt, Abuja is beautiful, 100%.

But lagos is more developed than Abuja because almost every part of Lagos is developed. Abuja is still in it's development stage, maybe stage 2 or 3 according to it's development plan. Not every part of Abuja is developed, unlike Lagos.

I think he is confusing Quality of Life with development thus his question. The economic activities in Lagos together with the industries and commercial activities will always make it more developed than Abuja even though the later offers a better quality of life than the former.

Well in that sense I agree with you but the size of Lagos is too small relative to the number of people it has and would continue to have, except the infrastructure in Ogun state improves so more people can live there. The size of Abuja is okay for the 4 million people it has presently and for even 8 million people in the nearest future. The congestion, traffic, rowdiness, stress, and waste management system of many parts of mainland Lagos have to be improved, and the mainland is just at the centre of lagos.

Size of an area has to be the least of consideration when talking about development, it barely matters otherwise cities like Ibadan, kano or kaduna with bigger land masses would have been said to be more developed than Lagos which you and I know it is not true. For clearer perspective on the two cities check out Neywork and california. California is larger in land mass and also offer better quality of life than Newyork but Newyork is more developed than cali because of what the economy,the population and it also more cosmopolitan .
