Random street views I took from Lagos CBD.......................And I tried my very best to get the best bits without the slums:

History of Lagos - Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki › Histor...
Post colonial When the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914 Lagos was declared its capital. Lagos experienced rapid growth throughout the 1960s and 1970s as a result of Nigeria's economic boom prior to the Biafran War. This continued through the 1980s and 1990s up to the present date.

You asked if Pretoria has a railway connected to an airport.........and it does

So Johannesburg and Pretoria share the same airport?

jl115:
Nice opinion mate now go tell it to somebody that cares

When you have already lost the argument. Go and sleep

Abohboy:
Nigerians stop fighting with the South Africans, our cities are not better. FOR NOW, patriotism goes so far, before it becomes stupid pride, Nigeria has a long way to go before we can compare with South African cities. But by 2027 mark my words, Nigeria will be of the same standard, with urban regeneration projects ongoing in 10 different states it will be no time before we are equal.

Lol funny how you think SA is not doing the same

I mean Gauteng alone has 27 new city projects, i won't speak about the whole country

Where is the slum?

Now lets compare Lagos with Pretoria

forgiveness:


Where is the slum?

I purposefully took the best parts of Lagos

jl115:
To bad that's not a fact..........

Lagos is literally a slum with buildings sticking out of it!

So, because Mercer doesn't favour you, Mercer ranking is no longer valid!? Bhuhahahaha!

The Pretoria airport serves military, and deplomatic purposes, when dignitaries come to SA they us pretoria notnot OR tambo


Johannesburg and Pretoria are 35 minutes apart

Pretoria

That's not the best part of Lagos, my friend. That's Lagos Island. Show me Ikoyi, Eko Atlantic city, etc.

Okay

That's common sense you know?..
If 2000 Ghanaian Students were initially attending Senior high school,
now with the introduction of ''Free SHS system'', times-2 that number(4000) are attending SHS,
so its just common sense that there will be much pressure on the facilities hence the need for ''double track system'' in some of the schools.

One will ask, why have the numbers increased that much?, Because in the past the qualification for SHS was pegged at Aggregate 24, but now the new system allows for up-to aggregate 45 so those that will have been disqualified in the past are all allowed into SHS now.

However, the Government has fast-tracked the building and improvement of the SHS facilities so as we speak a lot of those schools that were running double track system are back to single track.

Kenya(East Africa) can never be better than West Africa.

rvp2018:
And yet you're still doing double-track education - because you lack school facilities.

We once discussed with you about malls, I didn't realize you're not the kings in that sector.
Now after arguing with a Ghanaian on the same , he claimed that biggest malls in West Africa lie in Ghana..

After a thorough research, I found out they are merely shops like.
How comes they are the biggest in West,? Or do you guys don't have malls?

Where is the largest market in West Africa located?

The West Hills Mall is located in Accra Ghana. It can be named the biggest market in West Africa. It covers almost 93,000 square meters

I am not sure if it simple fix or you need Abuja. Kenya cities require simple fixes - like building walkways, light rails, formalize transport systems, upgrade slums and bridge the housing deficit - but Nigeria slumpolis are not possible to fix because of the integrated slum. With the exception of Abuja the rest of the cities are so much integrated hodgepodge it cannot be easily fixed.

Two Rivers is the biggest Mall in East Africa. The Mall is partly owned by Centum and majorly by the Kenya billionaire Dr. Chris Kirubi. It is located in Nairobi, Kenya on an area of 65,000 square meters.

Yes Joburg and Pretoria are only 40km from each other however Pretoria does have a small International Airport....Its mostly used for private international chartered flights and a couple of domestic flights.

And then couple of Airforce bases namely Waterkloof AFB and Swartkop AFB..........Also several smaller airfields

How did I loose the argument mate?? Mercer and numbeo rate South African cities far far ahead of any Nigerian city!

You don't understand these things. Malls are measured based on gross lettable space. For instance - Two Rivers has gross lettable space of 65,000 sqm but it's built on 11 acres. The entire Two Rivers Project sits on I think 100-200 acres.

West Hill Ghana - gross letable space is not even half of Two Rivers Mall -West Hills Mall (27,000 sq m)

Mercer favours me perfectly its just you that can't fathom the fact that Mercer hasn't rated all the Cities in all the countries Hence why you say dum things like Abuja is rated higher than all SAn cities bar Durban, Joburg and CT.

Using that same Logic I can say Bangui ranks higher than any Nigerian city bar Lagos and Abuja?

I also sent the one in Kenya to you.

Lets see: Education No, Transportation No, Electrification No, Sewage No, connectivity No.

Bro Lagos is less developed than Abuja never mind Pretoria

I don't understand the tongue you are writing. Can you let me understand what you mean by no education, no transportation, no electrification, no sewer and no connectivity?

Your are sensible.
Exactly what I have been saying all these while.
Speaking the truth does not make you weak or inferior as some people think.
There are some debates that are not needed. We all have eyes to see so no need being over Patriotic here cos it sometimes become more like stupidity.
There are a number of areas where Nigeria Or Ghana beats South Africa or East Africa, so in any debate, we should focus on those positive areas and leave these City Comparisons cos we are not there yet, maybe 10 years time we will overtake them but for now, we should swallow our pride.

Mind you, this are just ikoyi only.

KnightandFrank - 2016 - old - Kampala is better than Accra. Nairobi has no peers outside South Africa (another league).

Because your Pretoria was below the pecking order hence not good enough for consideration. What do you think?

Mercer is very good ooo.
