Nigeria is just 60!! We still have a long way to go yet some people will compare us to USA that is over 200.You think USA and China didn't have tough times?You think they always had everything?Nigeria's current state doesn't even hold a candle to USA great depression in the early 20th century yet people will start shouting everywhere that Nigeria is doomed.You think Kenya doesn't have bad places? because they are always showing you Nairobi their capital and comparing it to Lagos which isn't even our capital! Look up the worst slums in the world.2nd and 3rd are from Kenya(second is in nairobi) while 5th is in S.A. 10th is in Lagos.And yet people will be shouting everywhere that Nigeria is doomed.It's because of people like you that people will be calling Nigeria hellhole.Until you change your perspective about Nigeria we won't move forward.Do you know other countries are also experiencing recession currently?

Nigerias gdp is higher than Kenya Tanzania and Ethiopia combined.Even Lagos GDP is higher than the whole of Kenya's!

So if you accept the census are manipulated. You do accept the manipulation is not to reduce the population. Every state for economic and political reason want to appear more populous.

It reasonable for me if you at least accept Nigeria population is INFLATED. It less than officially stated. It could be 5 or 10 or 50M inflated.

Just like you also need to accept the GDP is over-stated to make Nigeria Africa top dog while everyone knows Egypt with 100M and zero povery - and South Africa with proper middle class - are just reasonable 350B.

I have always known you were re.tarded but the bolded is beyond being ret.arded. This your incurable obsession with Nigeria has pushed you over the edge. How can an exposed person say [b]Egypt has zero poverty?[/b]It shows you are not informed at all or Kenyan education is more shiity than we suspected. Poverty is a serious issue in Egypt. I have nothing but pity for your fellow little Indians who see you as brilliant.

Quick search.Egypt has 1.3% living below 1.9 dollars a day a person the international poverty line benchmark.I have seen 0% in some stats.They are many countries that have zero poverty as per internationally accepted definition.Youd be suprised that many countries have made poverty history.South Africa has more than 10%.Kenya more 30%.Nigeria last I checked had nearly 50%.Obviously there are other poverty measures...starting with absolutely poor who cannot afford a dollar a day a person.Ultimately serious countries will start dealing with that kind of poverty first.We all know Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world.

yet Lagos can't boast of

Even 12 hours power supply
A functioning health care
A good water supply
Good roads

which village do you live in

Which city in Africa can boast of Lagos infrastructure evenly distributed
Lagos became the largest city in Africa because of its huge no of cities

How dare you say what you don't know, where do you live.

Many Estates and cities enjoy more than 14 hours
Wait for the government to finish its 3,000mw power

Lagos health care system is world class,the government spent hugely on reforming the health centres and general hospitals by giving them modern facility and equipment


Lagos has about more than 75% of its road good. There are bad roads and I must say Ambode hasn't done much in road maintenance. Check the recent milestone achievement in road construction by constructing multiple km of roads in Alimosho.
See the inner street and road construction in the poor parts of Lagos with street lights and road signs.
The government is opening up inner roads in towns and rural areas.

See the water projects under construction


I cannot start saying stories here,its either you are one ignorant Nigerian who has not visited Lagos,or a pained ipobist or one kibera slum dweller.

You sound really angry.I guess youre like old lady in a discuscion on dry bones.Trust Egypt has made extreme poverty history.Nigeria poverty was as high 60% and is now in 50%.. nearly 90m Nigerian are extremely poor and cannot meet their basic human needs.That is 10% of all 900m poor people in the globe.India has less than 5% of it's 1.3B people extremely poor.China is at cusp of making extreme poverty history.Obviusly every country has its own national poverty line...they would take median income..then decide say 20% are poor..10% are rich..and rest are middle class.US describe anybody making less than 20k a year poor.We are not talking those..we are talking about the ability to eat enough food, clothe and shelter...mere 2 dollars a day.Nearly half of Nigeria cannot afford to eat balanced diet to meet their calorific needs or clothe themselves or live in decent shelters.That is HUGE.

As long as i will defend Nigeria if lies were written against it. i will also criticized it when needed. Nigeria is not king of africa and it is proven in all ramifications. A step outside Nigeria will tell you more.
Nigeria is the biggest economy, but it is not the best economy. Nigeria has the largest economy partially because they are the most populated country in Africa. About one in 5 Africans is Nigeria. Nigeria has about 180 million people today. . ...Kenyan on nairaland are contesting the figure.

To know the biggest economy, look at their overall GDP.
To know the best economy, look at their GDP per capita.

EAC
Lekki deep seaport

Now I need an answer

Which useless African city can boast if having a bigger city than kagis even with less landmass

Talk of

Economy GDP bigger than (,Accra,tema,Nairobi,Mombasa,kisumu combined I am not joking )

Infrastructure

Planned communities ( pewrinkle island, Grace field Phoenix, orange island,lekki smart city ,Ikeja,imperial international business city,Banana island[one of Africa's richest neighborhood], festac town,Snake island,Victoria Garden city )


Future projects on the continents that are promising( Jo'burg, British African city dares not)

Business( Jo'burg slightly leads )
Entertainment / Nightlife


After completing the EAC there wouldn't be any better city than it,that's why its one of the worlds most advanced city

We never hide our deficiencies, we are struggling with huge infrastructural deficit due to several years of misplaced leadership.

Despite all,we remain the biggest and best in Africa with one of the brightest people in earth

We dominate African manufacturing despite power issues

We have the biggest Entertainment industry
Despite the Challenges in the land,we produce the biggest business men and most influential people on the continent

Let's leave that for now

The context was Lagos roads, Lagos develops more roads in the rural areas everyday.I gave you the highest number of road networks constructed recently in Lagos poorest part



Nairobi is in the league with PH except for high rise that excites you.PH city's development is in another level.
The greenery,the wide roads and bridges, the parks ,the schools,the estates

the best economy shouldn't be by gdp per capita but sectors contributing to it and their significance in d economy. Finally, d sectors must be sustainable.

You don't measure a country by his outer appearance alone, you have to look inward to check how the people are fearing. if so we can say dubai is more developed than london. which everyone know it is not true.

The true measure of a developed society is to observe the people that live in the country and not the appearance of the country itself.

The biggest consumers of luxury products in africa are Nigerian people, not ghanian or kenyans. The more developed you are the less need you have to validate your self worth with materialism. The less desire you have to spend thousands of dollars on your children's schooling just to send them to be educated abroad. The less need to travel to countries like united kingdom or USA for giving birth so that your child becomes a US or british citizen, or to launder your money by buying up real estate in other countries. Developed countries do not need to do things like that. this is what Nigerians are known for.

Who told you cities in Lagos don't even enjoy 24hrs electricity,what of the estates.
OK wait till the Lagos power project is almost completed.

Its a good news that the worlds biggest owner and anchor of slums ,same as the whole lekki by landmass gives its slum dwellers power

So what's the big deal,almost everywhere is connected in Lagos except for the stability of the power

BUT

I have seen pics of kibera slums and I have never seen any electricity or power cable or pole running through. Do you think we are in the stone age that you can deceive us.

Kibera is a true filthy abandoned habitation
The place irritates badly,its going to be unpleasantly odoriferous

Now check out the night pics of Lagos and bring that of Nairobi to compare
