becuse by then lagos will be more than south africa in population. lagos over population will soon result into big problem for nigeria as a country.

no bro , it's becos by then every under going construction from city to refinery will be completed and its proceeds will skyrocket Lagos GDP

forgiveness:



Hahahahahah!

Let us look at this this way
Port Harcourt has better and complete transportation system and amenities than Mombasa e.g better airport, Mono rail, Inter - city rail, sea Port, bridges and good road network.
Port Harcourt has better public health amenities than Mombasa.
Port Harcourt has better city and more highrise than Mombasa. The last two pages showed 25 highrise already top up with others already on ground. Pls, take note that highrise is defined as structure with 12 and about floors.
Port Harcourt has better vibrant Estates than Mombasa.
Port Harcourt has better Sport amenities than Mombasa
Port Harcourt has more refineries than Mombasa

Port Harcourt has better public schools than Mombasa


I don't know much about the numbers of industries in Mombasa but I can tell you Port Harcourt has many industries. Check this and give me the link to industries in Mombasa.

I will provide pictures of gigantic manufacturing companies latter.

Whatever Makes you happy.

Lagos state just pumped another $60 million dollars in lekki free trade zone this week and one dummy is telling me of Ghana that can even pay Nigeria for Gas we supply them.

Lol that clown attributes everything to population alone.

accra is buiding first IT hub in africa that will employ 1million people at once. Why dont you think on that. Accra has already buid a flyover that can only be compare to dubai,standard. The flyover is in the city center of accra it is called dubai circle. Lagos is still learning.

When it comes to number of flyovers, bridges and interchanges Accra is nowhere close to lagos,


Dude so because Accra is building about three new fine interchanges, it then amounts to that she has overtaken lagos, that is ludicrous and preposterous bro,


The 3rd mainland bridge came with almost 4 interchanges and has been with us since 1991,


The 4th mainland will be having about 8 interchanges I hope they wil be sophisticated too,


One thing you don't realise is that the world of architecture is ruled by dynamism, things change from time to time, the interchanges built in the ear of towards new millenia is not same for today, so we keep improving.

you are not saying the truth. Many rural dweller will migrate from their town,to urban lagos becuse of the new development which can not satisfy the lagosians themselves. Lagos state will experience much population becuse of its mortality rate. Abuja the cosmetic city with no histrorical fact might likely reduce becuse it is build to accomodate first class nigerians and not whole nigeria. The only african capital nigerians themselves can not live.

your point is meaningless bro. you said lagos is alive and i also prove to you accra is not sleeping. accra current dubai style fly over is the highest in west africa currently. even benin may overtake the position tommorrw. Accra too will not be sleeping. One very good advantage of ghana is that it has a rich policy with leader of good mindset. Which is missing in nigeria. Unless nigeria goverment can cover that lapses.

So your point is meaningful, since three dubai styled flyovers means Accra has overtaken lagos init?


So what if it is the highest, does Accra have the longest?


Do you know that about three flyovers are equally nearing completion in lagos,


Does Accra have a cable stayed flyover bridge,


Gee, Accra is good but be balanced in your assertions

Joonana:
Vaxx, it's very rare to find a Naija person engage you in an insightful discussion here. you should know this by now.

Give us your insightful discussion, if it's reasonable l am ready to learn of course. Even if you say GDP is 90 trillion naira for Naija, it would still change little.

what are you driving toward. i base my argument on your conclustion that lagos is not stoping. i prove it to you that accra too is running. Lagos has the longest yes accra now has the highest. This position are not permanet. Becuse even togo can overtake it. Well ghana still has an advantage which is missing in nigeria. Positive leaders with quality leadership.

Now I see how you are readjusting your premise,

You started out lashing at Nigeria from all cylinder, pitching Accra with lagos at parity, as if Ghana is the next best thing after slice bread,


We had to counter you, before you reneged and began to counterbalance your points.




The crux of my submission is that you should be unbiased in your opinions

first find out the institution responsible for measuring the GDP and know their most recent GDP figures. we can have some discussions on that.

lol self defeating statement. am unbiased in my post. i only defeat the asumption that nigeria is really giant and can beat out ghana in any comparism apart from population wise.

Ghana is not the next best thing.. it's still a developing country .. we Ghanaians complain about our country too .. what i know is that Ghana has made much progress relative to other countries on the continent; i got to appreciate this progress much better after staying in Nigeria

Everyone is entitled to his opinion bro,


My concern is the misrepresentation of facts, you were here saying ghana got the largest mall, the biggest it hub, the gateway to West Africa, Tema port, being the most boisterous, Accra overtaking lagos, the other guy saying ghana got the biggest medical hub, in the region etc, all these are some of the fallacies, I am debunking over here, hope you dig,


Before you eulogies ghana's achievement make proper research and investigation,


Nigeria needs to restructure, no matter the leaders in power if we don't, we are bound to retrograde, however we must equally hold our leaders accountable,


Gratias.

Marcelo290:
Those pictures of Port Harcourt are really dope and beautiful, I just hope the projects are completed cos one of our problems is abandoned projects due to successive change of government.

That will be suicidal.

The reason I said Port Harcourt should be compared with Mombasa is because I have been to the city myself and I have taken Ghanaian, Ivorien, Korean etc to the city, it left them with very good impressions. It was unimaginable that such city exit in the Nigeria they heard of the media.

The Ivorien was blown away, the Ghanaian called it europe while the Korean rated it above Lagos (but me I no gree that one ooo) though admitted Lagos na father.

The city is beautiful with wider roads, restaurants, boutiques, hotels are littered allover the city. etc

lol .. i got to know about this Giant of Africa thing while in Nigeria .. i used to ask my colleagues what made them the giant and what are they proud of .. somehow the population makes them giant; it plays in their favour sometimes .. Nigerians like it when you massage their ego, so they feel great and good about themselves. they are at liberty to massage their own ego ..

Good for you John dramani mahama is a man I so much respect he tried for ghana, big time no denying,


You came to lagos, but I guess you didn't traverse everywhere to have a clear picture, did you visit ladol, eko Atlantic, lekki ftz, badagry, banana Island, sango tode, apapa port complex, Robert Island, orange Island, snake Island, tarkwa Bay, ikeja, festac, Maryland, surulere, games village, computer village, trade fair complex, Victoria Island, Victoria garden city, etc

i need you to find out the GDP measure from that national government statistics . there should be a unit in charge of that. i know that of Ghana,
the data is available to all on their website ..

the last time i provided a link confirming the 90 trillion naira GDP by Osinbajo .. in that report, he stated that a budget of 7 trillion naira is not adequate for a 90 trillion naira economy .. we all know the budget passed yesterday was a little above 7 trillion naira .. what's the dollar value of this budget and that of the 90 trillion naira GDP ..

am here comparing what is on ground. the bane of discussion here is ghana is too poor to be compare with lagos talkless of nigeria. which i counter argue that is a poor assumption. bringing fact and not fallacy as you point out. Ghana is a developing country likewise nigeria.both still needs development in order to be labelled a world class standard.

i belive as a nigeria and with anount of natural endowwrment we have we should be compare to east asia and not ghana. due to poor policy and weak management. nigeria development is not encouraging.

yes nigeria needs restructuring as one of the solution to better utilize the resources of the country. ghana is learning from nigeria mistake

Now you are making a lot of sense, what infuriated me was the misrepresentation of facts from your side,

I am not holding brief for the instigator of the state country banter, but I feel that sharpvielle comparism came about owing to to fact that lagos is a economic powerhouse on the continent, and the undisputed epicenter of economic hub in the West African region, hence the comparison with ghana,


Nigeria should have done better truly, but past maladministrations of militocracy, misgovernance at state levels, and the cancerous corruption dealt us a big blow.,




We must Forge ahead nonetheless, some people see lagos as the alpha and omega of Nigeria, forgetting other hot spots

Hati13:

The prople and landscapes. Most of the people are poor like most Ethiopians, but you will see real happiness in their face in what little they got. Most of the mountains and other landscapes trees had been cut, but they are still beautiful. I've climbed many high mountains with my friends I mate their and it was breathtaking.

I gave every cloths and shoes to my friends. I came to Addis only wearing jacket, simple shoe and underwear. My mother was very angry, but I don't care that much in what I wear.

You must visit Ethiopia!

You are kind hearted.
You came back in underwear? I hope it was a boxer

I will definitely visit some day. But I wont come back in underwear, might be arrested for indecency

You see, this thread served like an illuminating, enchanting, revealing, enlightening eye opener.

I know some other Africans are shocked that Nigeria despite her pitfalls and setbacks have reached this far, even though she still got miles to cover.



Some Kenyans felt that only them have nice infrastructures like super rails, interchanges,air ports, real estates, sea ports, skyscrapers, etc,


They were astounded to realise that whatever they boast of, is equally available here,


Some have shown nice rails, we got them here too and still expanding, some talked about mombasa port being the second busiest, due to expansion, they didn't realise that Nigeria too was expanding her ports too,



Some feel the whole gdp is a figment of phantasm agora, more like hogwash facade,



Seeing is believing, the pix I believe have proven otherwise

When you convert 90 trillion naira in 2015 using the official rate, it gives you about 450 billion dollars if that is what you are going by. 7 trillion naira in 2017 is about 20 billion dollars which is the federal budget only. You can find out these things yourself.
