I love my lagos. We aren’t perfect. But we are blessed. We have a really long way to go. The right leader will silence a lot of external hate and internal division (it’s unnecessary my people)
Hopefully that 'right' leader will never be that ridiculously overrated, sickeningly over-celebrated, and badly packaged Agulu chancer. Cry all they want, Peter Obi will never be the president. Our Igbo brothers and sisters can do all the propaganda in the world, guilt trip and gaslight us all they want, Peter Obi will never be the president. As it is, some of us will rather Nigeria break up this minute than to see the bumbling upstart as the president. And talking about the 'right' leader who will "silence a lot of external hate and internal division", a great many of us are intelligent enough to know for certain that will definitely not be Peter Obi, the closet tribal chauvinist. Our Igbo people, please keep doing your propaganda, keep defaming Nigeria, keep spreading negative propaganda about Nigeria in every possible way, please double your efforts a thousand times more, cry and throw your toys out of the pram, the fact is, we here are laughing at your amateurish machinations. It's great fun to watch your weepy frustration and the zany desperation. You all make good entertainment for us.
If nobody talk bad about you then you're nobody. If we have regular electricity then no country can talk bullcrap about us anymore. Ghana that can't host African games will come online spitting crap about Nigeria. I will just laugh at those villagers! @@Elizabethbrown.
Let us be sincere Lagos is beautiful and well organized, just like every others places in the world, there is good bad and ugly, this is beautiful really.
Lagos State economy is the Fifth Largest economy in Africa. The economy of Lagos is bigger than that of Ghana, bigger than Kenya, bigger than Liberia and many other African countries. Well for your information, Lagos just started.
Who ask you to compare As a Nigerian we believe in one Africa. A win for one is a win for all Please don't compare again let keep positive please One Africa
Lagos is coming up in terms of a city that has a blend of old and new high-rise structures embellished by upscale, urbane and magnificent residential estates and neighbourhoods. Our problem in Nigeria is just leadership, having visionary governors and presidents who diligently and selflessly show capacity to transform our cities and the people living in them. We have no reason to migrate to other climes in search of greener pastures. We are a blessed nation with enviable human and natural resources.
Sadly there is never an O.K, not just in Lagos, but with every other city in the world! Even if Lagos fixes its electricity and security problems, other problems will occur. Such is life, whether it is in Lagos or London or Paris or New York or elsewhere.. 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
And also the harassment of travellers at Lagos Airport when arriving and departing. British RUclipsr Harry Jaggard had to pay a bribe on arrival at the airport to be allowed into the country. Disgusting! Old habits die hard! That being said, I like the look of the Parkview Astoria Hotel in Ikoyi, 4 nights in November go for £167 in total. That's awesome value! Lagos hotels used to be notoriously expensive but now things seem to be looking better for visitors to the city. The hotel website shows a lovely couple entering the hotel, especially the lady. Beautiful! Sorry, but I had to say it. The streets of VI and Ikoyi look nice and clean too. I'm impressed! The country is on my list to visit soon. Thanks.

You people don't know a shit about Nigeria. Because of our enormous population, we don't create one clustered CBD in a city. We scatter development/CBD to different districts far away from one another. In Nigerian, it's always a small development here, and a small development there and a small development everywhere. This is to ensure that people don't head towards one direction during rush hours. Despite this, we still have heavy traffic in Nigeria, especially in Lagos.

Thus, Nigerian cities are not like the CBD in Nairobi, Joburg etc. If we do as they did, we will shoot ourselves on the foot. Eg, in Lagos, development/CBD is scattered all round the local governments. If development are clustered together, the traffic gridlock will be chaos. Thus, we have little development in Victoria Island, little development in CMS marina, little development in Ikoyi, little development in Lekki, little development in Ikeja, little development in Surulere, little development scattered everywhere.

Lots of fancy words here in this vid. So, how has "majestic skylines, massive infrastructure, elevated railway, authentic markets, bridges, world class malls, etc" improved the lives of the millions in Lagos? TBT, it hasn't. All these flashy buildings & bridges mask the widespread poverty & suffering of millions of ppl in Lagos
Yeah, especially the apocalyptic level of poverty & sufferings prevalent in that part of Nigeria known as dot in the circle, the barren and landlocked hellhole of the ndi loud-mouthed people in the south east of Nigeria.
We need more millionaires and less billionaires. And to invest in local ideas. We have so many wealthy but no one invest in Nelson Chikumbutso car and generator technology (Zambia)
I don't imagine that people invest, or should invest for the sake of it! Does the project have the potential to be a money spinner or money earner?? Those are questions worth asking and answering!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
@@Lieu_Tenant_Gambit Well from my own life's experience , my observation is that be it with personal wealth or in a nation's development, there is no terminal, no final bus stop! People would always want to amass wealth, just as nations would always continue to surge forward with science and technology! In Nigeria, there is minimal generational wealth! In other words, We don't have too many families who have been millionaires and billionaires for generations! Some of the richest people today, came from humble beginnings, if not outright poverty!! I don't remotely ascribe to rich people being responsible for the poor! Although there are many instances in life , particularly in Nigeria, where people with money do help others! But it is NOT a written rule, and the rich should not be forced or badgered or be held responsible for the poor! The so called "less privileged" are not simpletons or disabled ! If anything, let the life of the wealthy be an inspiration to others, in that, if they can do it, so can the rest of us! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
this is a one-sided view. The bulk of the video is in Ikoyi, VI, Lagos Island which is less than 10% of the Lagos. Where are the views from Mushin, Yaba, Surulere, Dopemu, Airport, etc?
We are waiting for you to get off your butt and do your own section of Lagos! You can't be sending people to go and do what you should be doing yourself!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
@aframaco9491 Ah! Maybe not now. This person did a great job, it's just slightly skewed, or perhaps it's the title he gave the content. It's not a bad job, I just wished he had showcased other parts of Lagos for a balance view, since he labeled the content using Lagos, Nigeria... if you get what I mean. Kudos to him.
@@babafemionagbesan4932 I think that he is showcasing Lagos, as in Lagos! You know a person at Agege, Ojuelegba, Mushin, Ikeja can all say "I am going to Lagos". And in all those places I mentioned, you can catch a bus with the conductor shouting " Eko, Eko, Eko! It is that Lagos also, that the African Sky is on about in this video!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
When we say the country is developing,we are talking about the whole country and rural or urban, not about one city.just check makoko slum n 1st do better things for citizens and you can have many buildings but also improve the life of the citizens
Indeed, but even before that, it is imperative to build a society where there is a broad mechanism for collating taxation! A minute handful of government workers (minuscule in comparison to Nigeria's huge population) are about the only people that pays taxes! Society needs to partner government in order to build the sort of environment we desire!
Well Lagos is not going to hold back its own development just because other cities/states in the *federation* have other priorities that seem more important than building up their states. You would find that the Makoko and those other informal neighborhoods which constitute the eyesore that you all love to use for hectoring us and in some cases, exploit to ridicule Lagos and make money off RUclips posting those poorly made contents maligning Lagos everyday, are mainly created and occupied by *non-indigenes* of Lagos who flood in daily to Lagos for better economic opportunities from all over Nigeria and even from other West African countries. If other state governments in Nigeria are half as effective and purposeful as the Lagos State government in other parts of the country, maybe we will not have a reason where every man and his dog rush to Lagos to constitute the nuisance and eyesore which 'smart' folks like you are always so quick to talk about whenever Lagos happens to be the subject. If the northern states are not so preoccupied with banditry, religious extremism and sharia, and the eastern part of the country are not so poor at running their states and their badly educated people are not focusing so much on crime as a lifestyle, then maybe, just maybe, we as a federation, might just be able to "do better things for citizens" of Nigeria.
I'll also say that when I'm ashame of my country n they king of makoko is the nigerian n for nigeria to be a better country vote leaders not by tribe n religious n everything will come right in nigeria case closed
@@emmanuelmichael-f8u I quite agree with you! But at the same time, I should even add, that Nigerians should vote for a politician that has developed his village or city or state to the level of Dubai!! Nothing less! Concrete and sustainable legacy in his own hometown should be the benchmark for any politician seeking the presidency! Because if he can turn his hometown to London, then he can turn yours into London too!

Okay now go to Mushin and Ikorodu. Go to Iyana Ipaja and Agbule Egba. Lack of security and lack of stable electricity. Lagos is the ghetto. The place you're going to, is inhabited by people who stole the country's money. The minimum wage in this country is less that $50 monthly, and the lost of living is high. Better show the whole of lagos and not the places of the 1%.

All the places you are mentioning are part of Lagos State, and not necessarily in the city of Lagos! The vlogger is concerned with the city of Lagos! Having said that, exactly how poor are those places? There are almost no government presence there, yet there are all manner of houses BUILT and OWNED by the local people who live there! The fact that they might not be tidy, does not mean that the people there are poor! In the areas , you mentioned, a lot of non indigenes ,particularly the South East traders live in those areas and they are huge and very successful traders and businessmen! You were attacked brutally, because you were trying to be uglyy and mocking! The vlogger here is showing the possibility of Lagos and its potential! He is not misleading anybody because it is all facts. Especially if you listen to his narratives! He clearly states where he feels Lagos, and by extension Nigeria needs to do better!! The whole of Lagos State is one of the safest states in the country!! So all these places you are mentioning in Lagos are by far safer than the North , the South East and parts of the Middle Belt!

@@AfricaViewReport What's there to talk about? Uhh just the new and massive buildings that have been springing up most notably Eko Pearl Towers that have been completed with several more under construction and at planning stages.

There IS light and water in these places, so stop telling lies. If you are referring to power cuts in Nigeria, it’s par for the course in larger developing countries from India to Pakistan to South Africa and even China. Google it if you don’t know. And yes, good infrastructure and office blocks DO indicate development and economic growth and expansion. What would you prefer to see? A dirt road with camels?
Boamah is Akan name. Akan is a major ethnic group in Ghana. For that reason, I assume you are Ghanaian. Now a Ghanaian should be the last person on God's earth to talk down to other people about lack of electricity. You know why? Ghana doesn't have that same electricity. Ghanaians have a word for their bad electricity service. *Dumsor* is what they call it. And just a few days ago, the electricity went off twice at the Cape Coast Stadium while Ghana was playing against Ethiopia in the group stages of the football event at the All African Games while the world was watching. Boamah, please go home, you have no basis as a Ghanaian to talk down on Nigeria. And just so you know, This year's edition of the All African Games being hosted by Ghana is turning out to be the worst ever in the history of the game.
@@african-history-fountainI would prefer to see schools, technical colleges for carpenters, electricians, mechanics..........and I'm not talking about those scams they call polytechnics, secondly; stop making stupid excuses for our low iq people there is no reason at all Nigeria should not have constant electricity, water, good roads etc, simply because we have everything we need to make these things happen, we have the fuel to power the power plants and we have the money to build the plants, we have water, just need to pump it and build infrastructure to spread it out, for the roads we have bitumen and every single material needed, you too google it, by the way you can't have economic development without these things: good education, security, good infrastructure, constant electricity........you get the gist

This place is not the whole nigeria remember. The number 1 indicater for development is how strong or good your economy is because that's where the well-being of the citizens are not just building offices complex or whatever whilst the citizens are poor and below standard.

Yeah, especially the apocalyptic level of poverty & sufferings prevalent in that part of Nigeria known as dot in the circle, the barren and landlocked hellhole of the ndi loud-mouthed people in the south east of Nigeria.

@@Lieu_Tenant_Gambit Well from my own life's experience , my observation is that be it with personal wealth or in a nation's development, there is no terminal, no final bus stop!
People would always want to amass wealth, just as nations would always continue to surge forward with science and technology!
In Nigeria, there is minimal generational wealth!
In other words, We don't have too many families who have been millionaires and billionaires for generations!
Some of the richest people today, came from humble beginnings, if not outright poverty!!
I don't remotely ascribe to rich people being responsible for the poor!
Although there are many instances in life , particularly in Nigeria, where people with money do help others!
But it is NOT a written rule, and the rich should not be forced or badgered or be held responsible for the poor!
The so called "less privileged" are not simpletons or disabled !
If anything, let the life of the wealthy be an inspiration to others, in that, if they can do it, so can the rest of us!

@aframaco9491 Ah! Maybe not now. This person did a great job, it's just slightly skewed, or perhaps it's the title he gave the content. It's not a bad job, I just wished he had showcased other parts of Lagos for a balance view, since he labeled the content using Lagos, Nigeria... if you get what I mean. Kudos to him.
@@babafemionagbesan4932 I think that he is showcasing Lagos, as in Lagos!

When we say the country is developing,we are talking about the whole country and rural or urban, not about one city.just check makoko slum n 1st do better things for citizens and you can have many buildings but also improve the life of the citizens
Indeed, but even before that, it is imperative to build a society where there is a broad mechanism for collating taxation!
A minute handful of government workers (minuscule in comparison to Nigeria's huge population) are about the only people that pays taxes!
Society needs to partner government in order to build the sort of environment we desire!
Hmmmn makoko is occupied mostly by foreigners or migratory fishing community from allover west Africa
Well Lagos is not going to hold back its own development just because other cities/states in the *federation* have other priorities that seem more important than building up their states. You would find that the Makoko and those other informal neighborhoods which constitute the eyesore that you all love to use for hectoring us and in some cases, exploit to ridicule Lagos and make money off RUclips posting those poorly made contents maligning Lagos everyday, are mainly created and occupied by *non-indigenes* of Lagos who flood in daily to Lagos for better economic opportunities from all over Nigeria and even from other West African countries. If other state governments in Nigeria are half as effective and purposeful as the Lagos State government in other parts of the country, maybe we will not have a reason where every man and his dog rush to Lagos to constitute the nuisance and eyesore which 'smart' folks like you are always so quick to talk about whenever Lagos happens to be the subject. If the northern states are not so preoccupied with banditry, religious extremism and sharia, and the eastern part of the country are not so poor at running their states and their badly educated people are not focusing so much on crime as a lifestyle, then maybe, just maybe, we as a federation, might just be able to "do better things for citizens" of Nigeria.
I'll also say that when I'm ashame of my country n they king of makoko is the nigerian n for nigeria to be a better country vote leaders not by tribe n religious n everything will come right in nigeria case closed
@@emmanuelmichael-f8u I quite agree with you!
But at the same time, I should even add, that Nigerians should vote for a politician that has developed his village or city or state to the level of Dubai!!
Nothing less!
Concrete and sustainable legacy in his own hometown should be the benchmark for any politician seeking the presidency!
Because if he can turn his hometown to London, then he can turn yours into London too!
Trust me, such a politician that can do that , will win elections in Nigeria regardless of tribe or religion!

Lagos is only 5% of Nigeria
Okay now go to Mushin and Ikorodu. Go to Iyana Ipaja and Agbule Egba. Lack of security and lack of stable electricity. Lagos is the ghetto. The place you're going to, is inhabited by people who stole the country's money. The minimum wage in this country is less that $50 monthly, and the lost of living is high. Better show the whole of lagos and not the places of the 1%.

In fact continue to revel in your poverty. Whatever you see, you get.
All the places you are mentioning are part of Lagos State, and not necessarily in the city of Lagos!
The vlogger is concerned with the city of Lagos!
Having said that, exactly how poor are those places?
There are almost no government presence there, yet there are all manner of houses BUILT and OWNED by the local people who live there!
The fact that they might not be tidy, does not mean that the people there are poor!
In the areas , you mentioned, a lot of non indigenes ,particularly the South East traders live in those areas and they are huge and very successful traders and businessmen!
You were attacked brutally, because you were trying to be uglyy and mocking!
The vlogger here is showing the possibility of Lagos and its potential!
He is not misleading anybody because it is all facts.
Especially if you listen to his narratives!
He clearly states where he feels Lagos, and by extension Nigeria needs to do better!!
The whole of Lagos State is one of the safest states in the country!!
So all these places you are mentioning in Lagos are by far safer than the North , the South East and parts of the Middle Belt!
Nigeria has potential, end of !!!

Structures do not showcase the countries success

Make up your mind Onuorah, which is which? If you say "Structures do not showcase the countries (sic) success", does that apply to those lesser countries in Africa which you and your people always make so much noise about as well?
U be fool
You are absolutely right, besides even the structures are the least quality, everything falls apart in months, things start to rust......

Upon all these no light no water so what is the sense,secondly this doesn't show development
There IS light and water in these places, so stop telling lies. If you are referring to power cuts in Nigeria, it’s par for the course in larger developing countries from India to Pakistan to South Africa and even China. Google it if you don’t know. And yes, good infrastructure and office blocks DO indicate development and economic growth and expansion. What would you prefer to see? A dirt road with camels?
Boamah is Akan name. Akan is a major ethnic group in Ghana. For that reason, I assume you are Ghanaian. Now a Ghanaian should be the last person on God's earth to talk down to other people about lack of electricity. You know why? Ghana doesn't have that same electricity. Ghanaians have a word for their bad electricity service. *Dumsor* is what they call it. And just a few days ago, the electricity went off twice at the Cape Coast Stadium while Ghana was playing against Ethiopia in the group stages of the football event at the All African Games while the world was watching. Boamah, please go home, you have no basis as a Ghanaian to talk down on Nigeria. And just so you know, This year's edition of the All African Games being hosted by Ghana is turning out to be the worst ever in the history of the game.
@@african-history-fountainI would prefer to see schools, technical colleges for carpenters, electricians, mechanics..........and I'm not talking about those scams they call polytechnics, secondly; stop making stupid excuses for our low iq people there is no reason at all Nigeria should not have constant electricity, water, good roads etc, simply because we have everything we need to make these things happen, we have the fuel to power the power plants and we have the money to build the plants, we have water, just need to pump it and build infrastructure to spread it out, for the roads we have bitumen and every single material needed, you too google it, by the way you can't have economic development without these things: good education, security, good infrastructure, constant electricity........you get the gist
@@african-history-fountain for your information China has 100% India 100% pakistan 94% South Africa 89% and your country nigeria is 59% below standard, desist from your baseless excuse that your country is large, if there's electricity and water at this place what about the other places? This place is not the whole nigeria remember. The number 1 indicater for development is how strong or good your economy is because that's where the well-being of the citizens are not just building offices complex or whatever whilst the citizens are poor and below standard.
