Lagos state has recently been reported as the second worst cities to live in the world. This report questions the profile of Lagos as the city with the biggest economy, with a budget bigger than some African countries.

How do we explain a state with high towering Internally generated revenue (IGR) and is at the same time the worst city to live in the world?

In my opinion as someone who grew up and live in Lagos state, successive governments in the state since the return of democracy in 1999 has gradually abandoned true governance and the delivery of the dividends of governance to pursuing only commercial viable projects to puts constant cashflow in the hands of some government officials and their cronnies. A good example in this regard is the Eko Atlantic city. Who does the state government have in mind with the development of such white elephant projects? Certainly not civil servants with 30k minimum wage salary.

So residents in Lagos pay so many levies and taxes without much benefits from the government. With the high monthly IGR of the state, many roads remain unmotorable thereby causing traffic and road accidents. Transporters pay endless levies at bus stops and motor parks without any benefits from govt for these levies.

Is Lagos an over rated city?

Come to think of it, every Nigerian still wants to either live in Lagos or visit Lagos.

We have hear! At least Lagos is ranked among world cities

What makes Lagos on that list is due to human activities and how dirty Lagocians can be

The tulumbu factor

He’s probably quoting you while been smuggled inside ugwu truck on their way to Lagos as at this morning

They will attack you
.....they said Lagos is developed, AMD I ask them show where is developed in Lagos. I pity some Nigerians, you guys need to travel outside. Once you do that, you would stone our leaders to death, especially the Lagos politicians that budgets billions, the little development you see in Lagos is from when Lagos was FCT, otherwise nothing.

They will defend it, one is already saying every Nigerian want to leave in Lagos..... And I ask, does everyone in the world not want to migrate to US or UK?, does it prevent them from having basic amenities?. No.

While you are busy attacking lagos because you hate Tinubu, you are busy supporting PO upadan and want us to vote him as our president come 2023 not withstanding that his 2term reign as governor of Anambra was a total disaster. Your hypocrisy stinks
