Stop Using Lagos To Judge The Whole Nigeria by Cashsteady(m): 6:56pm On Jan 20, 2021
I keep saying this Lagos not part of the top 5 cities in Nigeria forget the opportunities . The city is damn too overrated, dusty and dirty with bad roads...

Foreigners and other Nigerians living outside Nigeria should stop using lagos to judge the whole Nigeria.. Nigeria is a beautiful place without Lagos.. I have this Kenyan friends that visited lagos Nigeria and guess what? they said Lagos is a worse and it's probably the most ugliest city they have been too.. There are many other cities outside Lagos that are doing better citiy like Abuja is miles ahead of Lagos in infrastructure other cities like enugu, uyo, abeokuta, port Harcourt, calabar are also not doing bad.. pls Lagos is not the whole of Nigeria

This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

No mind the mumu grin

Let's first compare the capital of Lagos state with the capital of his state.

A lot of Nigerians do underestimate Lagos alot. Though is not developing at the pace we want, but is still developing.

Lagos misses fashola like mad

I dunno what the place is turning to , so Dusty overcrowded, the Lagos I returned to this year was not the one I used to know

The Yoruba people here will argue with the op but it's simply the Truth this place is not what it used to be

Lagos needs to wake up or else it will be the next Sao Paulo

And I feel the federal government is deliberately snuffing life out of the city by not sharing some of it's responsibility with at least one other city in the country

It lacks organization, touts are everywhere ,dustbin in middle of express , traffic is another serious problem, bad roads

Lagos can be cleaner,less open open defecation and smiling street , gutters and smelling canals.They can do better with good road regulation and tout on the road ..is not all about structure alone but a cleaner and livable eviroment .

Just say Abuja is better, then go and rest.

Don't forget most states only develop their capital. You should be comparing Ikeja with Port Harcourt or Maiduguri.

All this nah small small. All this things can't be done in 5-6 years. See what most part of Abuja sef is turning into

All he said can be done in a single year.
Make una no de make excuse for the failure of APC that does not mean PDP is an option.

Lagos can be beta, just get back to the days of Fashola. Simple. It will never be well with Akinwumi Ambode for destroying all Fashola built.

What do you expect when Lagos has been forced to carry the burden of 200 million people.
Nigerians are their own problem, when you advocate for federal government to put in place policies and incentives as well as enabling environment for other ports in P.H, Warri and Onitsha to be fully utilized, you will see ethnic local champions like Aribisala or what does he call himself feeling threatened.

If Nigeria is a smart country, those in authority will holistically look at the basic root of mass migration to Lagos and systematically discourage it. How do you do that?

You ensure that more ships berth at other ports in Nigeria instead of Lagos. You move certain government agencies out of Lagos or at least decentralize them across the regions. You encourage airlines to make use of other airports by increasing Lagos tax or levy and reducing others. You discourage huge industries from being sited in Lagos, a good example is Dangote refinery. Why would Dangote build such refinery in Lagos when he could have built it in Ondo or Rivers or Akwa Ibom.

Let me even tell you something, Lagos is choking to death and the city will collapse in no distant time if the status quo should continue.
