Look well

Pull the log on your face

This is not really beautiful.
Lets just say it is eerie that lagos can look calm.


The only beautiful structure is that serpentine bridge cascading via the slums....

If you wanna see beauty see lockdown views of European cities or San Francisco or Tunis or Algiers or Pretoria or Ouagadou or Kaduna

This is bitterness personified. And it is obvious in the way you quickly compared Lagos to some African cities, particularly Kaduna and Ouagadou when you haven't crossed any of Nigeria's border.

For the record, the serpentine bridge is the Third Mainland Bridge and it is strange that you noticed the slum the most.

Seeing Lagos like this makes me so sad on how Warri in Delta State has fallen.

If not for the war between urhobos, itsekiri and ijaws in Delta State.

Warri precisely will now be the Lagos island of delta state.

The numbers of companies that left Warri to Lagos and porthacourt and Abuja during the war were more than 100.

So many national and international company left Warri and now Delta State and Warri in particular has lost her glory.

The Warri i knew when i was still a kid was 1000 times more beautiful and more modern than the Warri of today.

I'm sure by now if not for the war, Delta State and Warri in particular would have released the population burden from Lagos.

This is what greed, ignorance, bad government and uneducated citizens can do to a city.

It's even funny looking at the fact that the numbers of white people and Asians living in Warri before the war were even more than any state in Nigeria.

When i was a kid, seeing white men and women in Warri was very normal, we see them on traffic, in churches, in the mall, even some came to watch us play Football every afternoon.

I think we as deltans have to go back to the drawing board.

As for the federal government, i think restructuring is what Nigeria needs now.

Let each state start operating like mini country Just like the US of A and in not more than 5 years time, the population of Lagos will reduce by nearly half.

Because by the time each states start developing and building of skyscrapers, investors will come in.

Lots of people don't actually know they skyscrapers are easy to build.

Let the security system be re branded and let us have our state Police and local Police.

By the order of the Peaky blinders.

it's a pity bro, the only thing surviving Warri currently are those off-shore oil companies employing our youths, glad we still dominate that sector, without that, warri would have fallen completely.

Stupidity foolishness and hatred brought this to us, at the end, we are the ones suffering, while our mates in PH and Lag are buzzing.

@Bolded, exactly, there's need for us to restructure.

Oook. Now u can come back to reality... We still hv corona virus to conquer. Let's survive this first.

I have crossed the border (you dont need to believe). I have been to San Francisco and Kaduna. I know what I am saying, sectionalism aside.

You , yourself, knows that this is not beautiful. But sectional pride, ofcourse, overrides your sense of judgement..

I chose serpentine as a descriptive element, to further describe its singular beauty. I know the third mainland bridge

Yeah, beauty truly lies In the eyes of the beholder, I guess

Abeg someone should help us do pictures of the Real Port Harcourt and post...not the nonsense that person posted yesterday.

Sanchez01:
You prolly wonder why some people are so mad, hateful, denigrate and claim Lagos is no man's land, it is because its beauty is unrivalled and the answers to their pain are summed up in the pictures.

Lagos is everything they want their region to be but cannot.

As a Deltan, all I am left with is my proud heritage and not the geographical location that is serially violated by selfish beasts who stack up the agony of people in luxury material possessions for their family and girlfriends.

To those warming up to cry Lagos was built with oil money, the glorious state has been standing long before independence and long before oil was discovered.

Bro , I haven’t only crossed

I live in one of the best city in the world

N still live there

Lagos in our own standard is beautiful

Why is it that you edited life out the pictures to portray Lagos . Show raw unedited pictures like other places.

Dude, I know where you're getting at, like a pastor would know his word. And I know for a fact that no sensible Nigerian would compare Kaduna to Lagos, no apologies. But of course, there's an underlying message here which is obviously a see through.

You claimed Lagos can't hold a candle to Ouagadou and Kaduna, which I took you up on but smartly left out Ouagadou. And I'm wondering whether it's the same Kaduna that can't hold a brief on Ikeja you're yapping about or another.

You once admitted your Anambra is in competition with LAGOS when your drunk of a governor stated otherwise, which you claimed was good and normal for federating states.

I had thought you'd mention Anambra and I was carefully waiting to know where in Anambra you'd mention.

Bitterness is why any man will overlook beauty and claim there's another fairer; like you did.

Strange you asked us to put aside sectionalism, maintained Lagos isn't beautiful but mentioned Kaduna. I'd have recommended Chloroquine to cure your bitterness but I figured it would transpose your bitterness rather than help.

Not to denigrate the other states, but be wise enough not to mention other states in Nigeria when trying to justify LAGOS is ugly. Kaduna, Port Harcourt (which is only a fraction of Rivers) and Abuja got nothing on Lagos and I'm not sorry to admit this.

I'm sure you mean the finest part of Port Harcourt.

Real raw pictures would show everything...that person on purpose focused on the worst parts of PH. If you want to show the effects of a lockdown, won’t it make sense to also show the places that everyone goes to...the places usually busy? That OP was on a mission that only he/she knows...literally took picture of someone’s backyard and called it Port Harcourt.

Sanchez01:

Yes, that’s what I mean. At least, you don’t see many people talking about how Lagos has slums in this thread...everybody is saying it’s fine and all that, and that’s what I want to see.
Besides, in a lockdown situation, wouldn’t it make sense to show the parts of the city that are usually busy e.g. The major roads and entertainment locations?

Op forget that thing! I beg show us Lagos not abroad picture that you post there

fados4sure:
Op forget that thing! I beg show us Lagos not abroad picture that you post there

If truly you know Lagos

The inhabitants of Lagos and the government needs to do more to take Lagos to enviable heights after the lockdown by keeping it clean and preserving nature

Mehn, the bolded statement just destroyed your otherwise good argument. You cant compare abuja to lagos on terms of development, maybe you can compare Gwagwalada to Lagos but not the entire Abuja. Abuja is by far the best naija has to offer, I've lived in both cities.

Edit I’ve visited Lagos now. Can’t admit that it’s not that far behind.. in truth it’s actually a lovely city…

Abuja is calm I agreed

Lagos is far far better than Abuja

Lagos is blessed with ocean and sea with good landscapes devoid of erosion or any natural disaster
