Lagos is an overrated dirty slum. No good roads, no drainage, nothing nothing. Very dirty place.

I have stayed in lekki and I can tell you that place is an overrated dirty slum. People living in Lagos are really trying. Those miscreants screaming Tinubu built Lagos have probably never been out of Lagos to sane and dope cities in Nigeria

baretalk:

The rest of Nigeria is like a big village, if people from outside Lagos stay in their states, Lagos will not be overcrowded, if the Lagos state government start taking beggars and liabilities out of Lagos, it's you idiots that will shoute. Lagos overpopulation is caused by miscreants coming in from other states.

StrongAlphMale:


Bros that's the not problem. The problem is are there good roads in Lagos? No! Are there drainages? No! How about the environment? Very dirty slum! Oga is it not those Tinubu miscreants that said tehifnubu built Lagos? Lagos that is an highly overrated dirty slum.

Go to Abuja, pH, Asaba, Benin City, Enugu, Akwa ibom, Calabar, etc and see good road networks with good drainage system.

Abeg Lagos is too dirty. It is never about the population. Even Kano isn't as dirty as Lagos. So leave the population out of this

Poshest4:
Stay for akwa ibom dey beg person for Lagos for money it's your choice when you don ready you go join winning team, those people you call miscreants in Lagos are doing very very fine more than you and again try not to bring politics to every discussion

My own experience as a lagosian who have lived in other states in Nigeria:

I don't see any reason why people are taking offenses in what @iDanDizzy said actually. For God sake, the guy is fv cking right. He bestly describe the normal lives of lagosian. I have lived in Lagos all my life, I'm a lagosian, I schooled in ogun state, I schooled in kano, I served in akwa ibom and to be honest, I enjoyed those states far better than Lagos. I feel sad dt lack of Job opportunities made me leave those states to come back to lagos and hustle. If not for money, I rather stay in akwa ibom and live a stress free life than lagos.

StrongAlphMale:


Lagos is an overrated dirty place. Of a truth, you can't wear White or even dress clean without getting messed up due to the dirty environment.

Lagos is too dirty and highly overrated, gosh!!! I stayed in lekki area and I no dey too commot for House because you must surely look like a pig while coming back. Thank God I am in my beloved Benin City now, a home of kings and queens. I can confidently tell you that pH, Abuja, Benin City, Akwa ibom , Calabar, Enugu, Asaba amongst others are by far beautiful, Sane and better than Lagos

Lemmy123:


Lol... That's a bit on the extreme though... You can still live there and get your peace of mind but cannot compare that of other states...

Too, the infrastructures are stressed, that explains why it can't serve everyone...

I like my pace but I couldn't get it in Lagos, unfortunately

Raheeqilmaktoom:


Problem is Nigerian economy is anchored around Lagos, knowingly or unknowingly and if you want people to stay in their states (it's my belief that most people would love to stay in their states provided they get what befits them in terms of earnings), just restructure economically.

If every part of Nigeria has potential for growth and provide people with access to economic activities, Lagos will automatically be decongested.

This is similar to urban-rural migration or migration in general.

Blame the clueless governors who can't develop their states to be economically viable. Lagos was capital more than 50years ago, then till now, state governors have been stealing your monthly allocations, is 50 years not enough to develop your states?

Keep looking at Lagos, and blaming others for your stupidity in allow the political class of your states rip you, the next 100 years, you clowns will still be saying 'lagos was capital '

The problem is you people are dumb and keep voting criminals and clueless politicians as your state governors.

GGirll:
Dandizzy said the fact lol. I came to Lagos because of my choice of university which I have been n suffered their tribalism and wickedness against igbos and all yet I triumphed with flying colors. I wish I had schooled in the East but I've vowed my kids won't make same mistakes I made.

My younger brother came to visit me in Lagos and the next day he packed his belongings and left saying that if this is the so called Lagos,he rather die than come to leave here.
I pay 2.5 million per year for a 2 Bedroom flat on the mainland. While equivalent of the house in the East is not up to that.

To be frank, once I get my visa, I'm leaving this place and the Nigeria as a whole.

Eyinju112:
Hahaha. Now if I visit Lagos, everything use to be so strange to me like I never lived there for once.. The noise, the crowd, the littered environment, the agbero and conductor drama lol it’s madness. My psyche can’t handle Lagos anymore

DenreleDave:


You are very much right.. If I wana go for job interview, I put my white inside back, so when I get close to the company, I find a place and change. If I go Wear white, people go stain you for bus b4 u reach where u dey go


I served in akwa ibom and I didn't wana leave there but I had to bcox of job.. But i love dt state.. Sane, cool and sweet state with beautiful ladies..

Raheeqilmaktoom:


More than 80% of all good that come into and go of Nigeria passed through Lagos (Lagos ports at the expense of others), at least 60% of all corporate bodies in Nigeria have their HQs in Lagos, this got nothing to do with state governors.

Some development should be rubbing off on ogun owing to it's proximity to Lagos, but it's same entrenchment of the 'Lagos above all' mentality we are doing.

Nigeria need to develop beyond Lagos, and if we keep on dumping projects on Lagos, everyone (Lagosians and non) will continue suffering.

baretalk:

Governors can mobilize and build seaports, it's politics, they have powers to bring in partners, lobby presidency etc Lagos major earning power is taxes and Real Estate value, revenue from the ports is shared with federal government. The peace, security in Lagos gives assurance to big businesses to site offices in Lagos. Go look at the figures your state governors steal, and it will do you all good, to look inwards. Eko Atlantic initiative is a Lagos government initiative, Lekki deep sea port, is a state government initiative, the blue and red rail is a state government initiative. Keep looking at Lagos, while criminal governors run your dead states aground.

Lemmy123:


Oh my, why do we have a number of things in common?

I visited Lagos last year to attend a job interview I was skeptical about getting. The odds were against me... I was surprised to see that people still behaved anyhow after a very long time I left the place. Conductors still hurl insults at people, people still fight for change, roadside traders are still ready to pour dirty water on you if they perceive you as troublesome... So many things hasn't change, no decorum. It's like the civilisation I experienced in Abuja did not reach this place.. Lol

I felt lonely and inward in a very crowded Lagos. I didn't miss anything all along. I don't like Lagos anymore... Sad truth.

toujurs:
Look this guy is so right, forget all this lagos this lagos that, people are poor in this lagos o!

People making it here, are expatriates, and Nigerians earning in dollars, or those their dad left a business and properties for.

People are suffering, you will see a guy using iphone 14 pro max, living in a self contain. Going to iyabasira by the road side to eat.

Most girls here in lagos, it's prostitution they do. A fresh graduate earns 80k for a start. Ontop the very high cost of rent. How do you expect the guy to sustain himself if not through fraud or Betting, how do you expect the girl to feed if not hook up.

What most girls do, they will open an Instagram account and tell you they sell, shoes and clothes online. , Na lie. Aunty talk true. Na hook up u dey do.

Temptee101:
Lagos is one hell of a place to visit, let alone reside in.

The first time I went to Lagos, I swear, I had headache for 3 days. I fell seriously ill.

Noise everywhere, thousands of motorists blaring their horns at the same time.

Everyone is impatient, angry and ready to fight in Lagos.

Everyone is willing and eager to dupe you.

On our way back to Abuja after spending few days in lagos, we boarded a sienna mini van, LASMA officers caught the driver for driving one way. You need to see how these people jumped inside the vehicle in order to grab the driver's key. They took us to their office, the refused to release the vehicle after pleading. We even had airforce officers in the vehicle with us. After spending hours there, we had to return to their park to enter another vehicle. We got to Abuja by 12am.

After such an awful experience, I swore with my life never to live in Lagos.

The driver is cursing, the conductor is shouting and the passengers are screaming all at once.

I really pity calm people who live in lagos.

Eyinju112:
You can’t sleep in peace in Lagos.. Na so so car horn you go Dey hear... the traffic is one hell... the way people board buses are insane...small rain go fall like this, lagos go Dey flood..Them no born you well to wear white for Lagos, before you reach destination your white don brown finish. I don’t know why they like that Lagos because I Iived there for the early 17 years of my life but I can tell you relocating out of Lagos is one of the best things my family did.
