Please don't make racist or tribalistic comments on this thread
This question is for those who have traveled round Nigeria North, East, South and West, I've had these remarks in different occasions from different folks, my Ghanian girl who live and work in Goodies shopping mall in Lagos, for the first time recently traveled outside Lagos for a burial, when she came back, she narrated her experiences, she started with her experience while going to a particular state within Nigeria, according to her there was this state they got to it was just like Lagos I have had similar remarks before with this very state, I have been to so many states in Nigeria, I decided to tour that very state, almost all the states we passed before we got to that very state was less developed, approaching the state border the similarity was there, although Lag gave the state cap in so many areas, but there are lots of similarities like commerce, urbanized, multiple buildings, flyovers, bridges etc. So I want to use the opportunity to ask nairalanders with broad minds, those that have traveled within Nigeria to mention a particular state they've been to that have Lagos similarities, I'll mention the state after..... Just for fun

Anambra

BeautifulMind2:
Anambra

lolzzz

lalasiclala help me move this to FP

Kano , perhaps

Op, I have been to almost all regions, Anambra have the similarities you stated what gave Lagos edge over Anambra are, federal institutions, such as sea port, MMA etc and multinational headquarters in Lagos

lolzzz

What is funny I guess you haven't been to the state I have traveled round the nation and lived in both states for years, I'm in good position to mention Anambra because both states has lot of similarities, you can state yours

Uyo I guess

Oyo and akwa ibom

mtcheew..no be nairaland?...yoruba man will mention ibadan and ogun,..ibo man will mention Anambra..hausa and fulani will mention Kano and kaduna.....ijaw and ikweres will mention port Harcourt.

Crazy set of people.

Anambra

Depends on what part of Lagos.

If it is the better parts of Lagos, we would be talking about Port Harcourt. More like Rivers State. So in Economics, I would say Rivers.

If it is the more congested parts of Lagos, maybe Anambra, Onitsha to be specific would fit the bill. That would cover the commercial angle of Lagos.

If it's the infrastructure, Kano looks more like Lagos than any other place in Nigeria.
Abuja is better than Lagos so don't tell me Abuja.

Kano State.

The city of Kano

Abuja, not a state though.

P.S. Done a few tours round the country, no place like Lagos.

My question is for broad minds

Your description fits Kano.

Kano. PH. Abuja. And a tiny section of Anambra.

I go for Anambra and PH, The rest are glorified villages.

So abuja is what?

Op the only state that fit in is ANAMBRA I have read and watch similar report from foreigners that toured Anambra clearly stated the same

I'll mention the state by 8:30 pm
Thanks for all your contributions

After Lagos is Kano metropolis.
But if we are talking of state wide developments that stretches from the town to the villages.
Then it z Anambra.
Lagos~Anambra re the most industrialized state with high rate of commercial activities before Kano.
One thing with Kano is that, it's only the KANO metropolis that hv high rate of development and commercial activities unlike Lagos and Anambra.

OK
