Welcome to Lagos Africa's very own big apple, a vibrant mega-city whose pulse is felt as wide as its influence reaches, a discovery of opportunities at the heart of Africa.
WOW 39 thumbs down. Probably from people that just want to see an african city depicted as famine and crime ridden instead of something more positive like this promo. I was in Lagos in the 80's and the city was already pretty developed compared to other west african cities. It's good to see that they are pushing further.
Why do people actually give a shit about thumbs up or Thumbs downs?? My 3 year old daughter randomly clicks videos and may hit the dislike button. Completely useless how many of which are what. Judge the video by your own standards.
***** huh,so you set low standards for Nigerians just because there are some mediocre canals in Amsterdam? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds for a continent that is far behind on so many fronts? You'll never get anywhere worthwhile if you set your benchmarks against underachievers.
Aezured hi! We cannot compare whole thing that Lagos and manila are same... interms of modernization, infrastrture, cleanliness and landscape. I can say lagos is same to one area only in Manila where a lot of slums.. but not whole manila.. Manila is exciting, energetic, and pop-culture. Even the skycraper of manila is one of the best in asia..
wow, i imiss nigeria..:) specially were my husband's family live,, i miss the food, everything, i remember when we get married too in Lagos such a great experience while am there, and now a wanna go back there to see my inlaws t tast agin my fave food:) AKARA, MOIMOI AND CHINCHIN:) AND THE YUM:)
+Juzi Michael You have all the world to be proud to be Nigerian: For starters, a positive, psychological reinforcement to notice everyday of your life as you walk downtown Lagos that everyone looks like you, law enforcement, bankers -- the whole cast. No racist epithets tossed at you. No one asking you "What are you doing in this neighborhood"? ad nauseum. Yes, you have every right to be proud.
Rashaenka Rashaenka we both know you're not Ukrainian, you can keep deceiving other people but not me. Your name isn't Ukrainian, your English isn't of a Ukrainian standard(btw any Ukrainian with your level of English must have lived outside and wouldn't be racist but then you're not racist cos if you were your rants would be targeted at the Nigerian people(blacks) not Nigeria as a country but because you're black you wouldn't do that lol)and trust me I know the Ukrainians they don't care as much as you do about Nigeria 🇳🇬. You're mostly likely African or even Nigerian. Get a life, commenting on TH-cam yields nothing and will not change anything ok. Stop being a keyboard warrior, build up your self esteem, aspire to be sth useful in the world stop being a mediocre. Run for office, start up a business, build a platform for yourself then your voice will heard and taken seriously but for now you're only but a coward, obsessed with your country Nigeria without a valid display pic, a false name and I'm sure you're lonely as fuck.
austine austine + you've spoken well about this rasheanka derelict. I've been following his jaundiced & hateful coments about Lagos & Nigeria for sometime. up till a point I think he felt any good news about Lagos was like a hot knife being twisted in his heart. He deserved our collective pity cos his comments are manifestation of the agonizing pains he suffers everytime the status of Eko soars to the skies.
just got back from Nigeria for my christmas holiday. i spent some time in Lagos and owerri. i have to say Nigeria is really changing for Good. there are some issues but i believe in 2 years Nigeria will be reaching where it is heading in terms of development.
Majority of it still is, all these beautiful buildings and Infrastructure are inventions of the Caucasian ethnic group, not black. The vast majority of Africa is still in its stone age and uncivilized state. Please don't come with anything negative as I am speaking facts.
shv90210 Oh shut the fuck up. You don't know what the fuck you are talking about honestly. A lot of this was made by Africans you racist fuck. Go back to your basement where you belong.
***** I have no Idea why I am replying to you, but here goes, I specifically asked a question to the previous person whom i address a question to, you being the individual that you are took it upon yourself to get involve in something that was not address to you, I have no problem since TH-cam is a open and free website where everyone is allowed to voice and make their opinions and beliefs known. With that being said, I asked the question to name one invention that the black man has made "Without Using Caucasian Technology" you have since taken it upon yourself to answer such a question even though you do not have one answer to provide, so what do you do? well you went on the Internet, gave me a link to a website, and then confidently told me to shut the fuck up. Now that you have confidently instructed me to do so, can you now tell me if any of these so called black inventors actually invented anything that has advance the progression of mankind? The first bulb for instance was invented by Thomas Edison, not by Lewis Latimer, LOL, it just goes to show as I stated how quick some black people are to claim things which aren't there's, the information stated that Mr Latimer invented a part of the light bulb, not the light bulb itself, and using the same technology of the white man, he did so only because of the education and theology that came from the Caucasian race, he of himself did not discover the knowledge to conceive and plan out the long process of getting it right and finding out how the process is structured and how to better it in the future. After the first light bulb was invented, it has undergo some major improvements and radical technological designs and advancements that were all done by the White man, with some improvements comming from the Asians as well. Is it not shameful that you provided me with a bunch of what I would call petty inventions that aren't even known globally?, you should be ashamed of yourself, I mean some black guy invented a minor part of a light bulb using white techniques and information and you act like this black guy has invented the Internet or the Car, come on give me a break.
Speech was not created by caucasian men. Writing was not created by caucasian men. Law and religion was created by Ethiopia, Architecture was invented by Egyptians, Blacks started international trade, and many modern technologies have been created by blacks. White people may have invented more things. But that is because of climate. Whites had a ton of time to sit inside inventing things, while Africans hunted, did mentally stimulating things, and became more social. You are very ignorant in your claims of whites somehow creating everything.
Just got back from Nigeria last week good things are going on in Nigeria exp places like Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, Port Harcourt and Akwa ibom. i guess more other places but i can only speak about this places because i visited them.
NIGERIANS TAKE MY ADVICE AND DO THIS!: 1) Start by building Garbage Treatment Plants in Every City, Town or Sate. Provide Jobs by organising Street Sweeping Vehicles as well as Garbage Trucks that will carry garbage from homes and streets to these Garbage Plants. 2) Then You must Build Sewage Treatment Plants To carry not only sewage but drainage. Cities must be built with large underground drainage systems not open Gutters. (IN EVERY CITY /TOWN) 3) You must build Clean Water Purification Plants. All water for drinking and bathing must come from massive reservoirs and water purification plants (centralized locations) where they can be treated germ-free by specified Enginners. (IN EVERY CITY/TOWN) 4) Also build multiple Gas fired Electric Power Plants - Nigeria flares Gas more than any other country in the world except Russia. All of the gas that has been wasted for many years could have been used to Build multiple Gas Fired Electric Power plants not just to provide electricity for Nigeria alone but for nearby countries. (Electricity is one of the primary keys to industrialization) 5) Build many high rise Buildings for the lower class. Get rid off all the slums and transport all the garbage from the slums to the garbage treatment plants. Put the lower class citizens in these buildings. Build more high rise buildings for the Middle and Higher class as well. City centers should be with organised high rise buildings with plans for maintenance at least every 10 years. All city roads should be marked and paved neatly, with paved and clean and organised sidewalks! Various City Locations should contain Large Parks, Greeneries and Recreation Areas. 6) Build multiple oil refineries (NOT JUST ONE AS PLANNED) so that the country can export fuel and petrolchemicals to other countries and make financial profit 7) Every money the country makes through trade should never be touched by anyone but should be used to Build at least 1 Technologically Advanced Hospital in every State (with plans for continuous maintenance). Hospitals that have the lastest technology in everything! from Organ Transplantation Units, Nuclear Medicine to stem cell research centres. Hospitals were doctors can diagnose a patient's illness immediately (no matter how complex) and have a solution for it, so that Nigerians will not have to die for uselless, ignorant reasons or travel to india or elsewhere to receive treatment. Hospitals or organisations that are capable of sending doctors abroad to learn the latest in Medical Technology and come back to teach other doctors. Like I said before if the country manages its money well, many Nigerians will not even need to pay medical tax. 8) Train and organise a better Police Force or Financial Security Organisations, Build larger and bigger prisons in every state to punish people who are not sincere (due to greed) over financial matters) otherwise most of the things I have mentioned above will never work. 9) For larger cities like Lagos. Abuja, Kano & Enugu build underground metropolitan systems to prevent traffic congestion- Think positively, it can be done! Get rid of all the Okadas and replace them with good taxi's (Okadas are one of the main factors of death in Nigeria). Replace all the danfoe buses and molue buses with better, organised buses in the cities. Also make bus stops with organised time schedules too. 10) Control immigration. Nigerias biggest problem is immigration. Many people come into the country illegally and many Nigerians dont even care nor are they organised to control immigration. Nigeria advertises the country too much like this video and people with poor living conditions pack into the country from nearby countries and because they have no place to lodge themselves, they build more slums and thus slum houses increase more than decent buildings. Lack of proper immigration is also the reason for Boko Haram in Nigeria. Decent Nigerian Muslims have become BokoHaram because other Islamic ideologies sipping into the country's Borders from the North. 11) Regulate or abolish indecency in Nollywood Movies. Ever since the Nigerian Movie Industry decided to call itself Nollywood it has become like a Pornographic industry (explicit sexual scenes in nollywood movies and homosexuality). Before Nollywood existed, all Nigerian movies were very decent and very entertaining even without the erotic aspect of it that is portrayed today. Today Nollywood has become so sexually oriented that even the Hollywood industry it tried to copy from looks more sexually decent and organised. 12) Finally other issues include Birth Control - Abolition of barbaric street killings for simple issues such as stealing - Nigeria should encourage its citizens to be inventive/creative. When any Nigerian citizen invents or creates something, the Nigerian Government takes no interest in the work of that Nigerian person, instead they look for inventions from outside the country (US, Germany, UK....), which is wrong.The Nigerian government must take more interest in the inventions of its talented/creative citizens by assisting them financially because if that is done then Nigeria will be capable of manufacturing its own cars,trains, aircrafts, ships, medical equipment and every other thing they need in a couple of years>> (Industrialization and Self- Sufficiency!) If Indians are capable of sending a rocket to Mars why shouldnt you? Everything I have mentioned here will provide more jobs for many Nigerians My Dear NIgerian Brothers>> Never accuse the countries you trade with as the cause of your problems & Never use difficult situations of other countries as an excuse to remain in your Poverty! WAKE UP NIGERIANS! WAKE UP! or Otherwise Remain were you are!
hahahaha you just spoke good brains though in a provocative and comical manner. i love it though coz u just told the truth which is actually the reality of lagos
Eko (Eco) o Ni baje o. Eko is Nigeria tradition name for Lagos. These are wonderful ambitions. Let us join to put these projects for Megacity in place. Amen to Lagos/Eko ambitions for mega city will not fail.
Would love to visit Nigeria someday. It's a very good thing a lot of these African countries are improving, and Asian countries too. My mom was born in Malaysia, and that country used to be so poor and backwards, but not anymore. Plus my mom has a good friend from Nigeria, and a lot of these Nigerians I met are the kindest most welcoming people I've ever encountered. Nigerians are a proud people, and a lot of Africans I met are the nicest people I've encountered in my life.
it amazing their endeavour, I am so proud and people yapping about the poor, if you really care, go give money to them or charity but a country need to develop infrastructures and create opportunity so all can be help, giving money to the poor is just a band aid , they need a job,that infrastructures alone will generate more opportunity for the poor..
Caroline Lincoln +Caroline Lincoln, The government should be for the people . The quality of their human resources is government's responsibility . why should Africans always hope for help from third party when you have democratic government?what are the roles your government should play in the lives of each citizen?
Dog Heart Check out Uzu Kalu wealth, its a pity a igbo states get more allocation money and they blast it on Nigeria celebrities... but u are here crying like a baby...
Monie Fly Ignoramus... Statutory allocation is given to every state by the federal govt and it is based on the population of the state. the 13 million people in Lagos are not 13 million Yoruba but 13 million Nigerians . If not for the 13 million Nigerians Lagos would simply be one poor useless place. Money federal govt didn't give to Lagos was money meant for some new LGAs the Lagos state govt created by the governor which the federal govt didn't recognize Lagos didn't get LGA fund for those LGAs from the Fed govt. I ve educated you so thank me.. GO BACK TO YOUR STATE and LEAVE LAGOS ALONE.. And I am not Igbo so stop hating on IGBO. They are better than you ..
Lagos may not be there yet but I am utterly impressed by the re-awakening and the sheer commitment and drive that seem to push the agenda of development forward. It is my fervent prayer that corruption would be given no pride of place in this noble quest. then will it be the shining star of Africa. Go Lagos!!!!!!!
This is the best tourism advert coming out from Nigeria. Nice work governor, i am very proud of this advert! Great Quality!!! How else can we promote this nation but to expose the good parts in it....Nice Job
i have lived in new york, cali and london.. there is no place like lagos, with further improvements the place would be on par with any other place..VIVA AFRICA!!!!!!!
LAGOS CITY HAS ALWAYS shared the same energy and feel like New York city... I'm in the States, once met a Yoruba guy from Sierra Leone whose dad was the personal chef for the last British governor of Nigeria before Independence. He told me the Brits were all weeping at the colonial mansion on the day they had to switch power over to Nigerians in LAGOS. Remember Lagos was the first British colony in Nigeria from the 1850's and the Brits were loved and well trusted by the Yoruba people and so were the Brits mutually. Kinda explain why they were all weeping because the bond was very strong with Nigerians and the Brits no doubt.
Very glad that Nigeria ousted SA as the biggest economy, it shows that competition is good and everything is moving forward in Africa. However some people want to rant about the small imperfections of these very young countries. The tide is shifting from SA Egypt Libya etc to new grounds like Nigeria Kenya Ghana Morocco Angola etc.
How can it be so when Nigeria's infrastructure is underdeveloped big economy does not equal to higher standard of living as of now the Nigerian government is bankrupt begging from IMF while South Africa can survive without lending in these tough economic climate
***** what's the worst African city you have ever been to - go on be honest? Bulgaria is superb - are you sure you are not just another black man with an anger, a US passport and a limited grasp of geography as your defence of Africa is beginning to look a little unconvincing....
***** well like I say you clearly have issues with Holland.As for Bulgarians who want to sell their body to fat American tourists in central America that is very much up to them surely - unless you are some sort of self-appointed moral guardian in these matters.You are from the US so feel the need to just about look down upon pretty everyone without your colour of passport - especially the French for daring to speak in their own language! Oh and you HATE anything that dares to suggest WELFARE - just another american sheep who probably thinks that government sponsored medicine is a sinister communist plot.Be nice to China - they will be your masters in the coming decades!
Lagos and the rest of Nigeria need to nurture the middle class. Without a strong middle class, developing can be very difficult. I wish you all the best Nigeria!
This is the first time anyone is hearing something good come out of Nigeria. They are taking a step into the right direction and portraying Africa well. This video is suppose to motivate people to do better and help bring back some of the knowledge that has left through the diaspora. Of course Nigeria has a long way to go compared to western countries that has been an independent for many years, but with motivated, optimistic people who are proud of where they come from, Nigeria will be great.
The times are favorable, O Empress of Africa, for you to take the lead in extending not only the material progress but the psychological as well. Yes, just look at the faces of the people in this video -- all self loving, confident, free of the unfortunate lack of self respect seen in all too many black communities in and out of Africa. So carpe diem, O Empress, and remember to take the poor along with you into modernity. And be mindful always that your progress can suffer greatly without transparency in governance. Without it, all is hopelessly lost.
The more i see we Africans going the gulf way(Dubai,Qatar,Kuwait etc) makes me really worried,the truth is how many of these major constructions represent true social economic development and not ego and again,how long can we sustain such huge projects without causing imbalance in all aspects.
Ah...why are you even bothered wasting your time watching a video about Lagos in the first place? They're working developing their city...I guess we Africans are damned if we do & damned if we don't
o ba je ti! the truth is the best place I ave ever being and appreciate is Nigeria most especially Lagos state............. LAGOS IS GREAT .you get whatever you want however you want it.
Lovely! I hope this vision is backed by relentless action, and may this spread to other states in Nigeria albeit Africa, AMEN. Even though I live in the US, I love my fatherland no matter what.
Because the demand for hotels is so high in Lagos that all hotels in Lagos just keep there price high. at this moment there are more hotels being build in Lagos than any other city in Africa and it still not enough.
ye becos they provide their own water,light and roads to the hotel..also the food is expensive as production does not meet demand...this is where govt needs to step in
Merea Love truth be told Lagos is a pentagon with different sides, meet the right ppl and you will have the time of your life. you can "sofa surf" if you know any trustworthy person/ family in lagos. that way you will not need to worry about living in an hotel + you will get to taste the indigenous delicacies. good luck anyways. truly Lagos is a great city... and you are welcome to visit (especially during Christmas!!, you will love it!!)
+Kaiser people like you seem to always have a problem when Africa is portrayed in any other way than what you want...I bet you also think that all the rich people in Africa should give their money to the poor
+Kaiser 😂paid government agent? Delusional much? Now if America & Europe could return some of the stolen money hidden in their banks that'd be great. I don't know why Nigeria pains you so much...it has many problems but it has grown in leaps & bounds over the past decade or so...more than most countries. Anyway, have a good day & I hope you and your friends enjoy whichever other part of Africa you visit aside from Nigeria
blaming Europeans for the failure of post-colonial Africa - pathetic - you could/should have made something of your country/continent but instead enriched yourselves for the sake of the many - shame on you !
I remember arriving in Lagos. I was working on a flight from Atlanta to Lagos. once we arrived, the other flight attendants and I were so happy because for most of the crew, just like me, was our first time in Africa. but the security guards ruined our vibes by guarding us into the busses all the way to the hotel. the hotel was nice but we weren't allowed to go outside of the hotel. the walls were barbed wired and walls were very high with guards holding guns and all. probably someday, I would just go and without the chaos I experienced. i know it was for our own safety but yeah.
Can't wait to go back. Fashola has very ambitious plans. There is no reason for Nigeria not to be a world power. At least among developing countries. But there is still a lot of government corruption.
TheCell111 The governments are not the reason for the growth . It was coincidence ,thanks to China. Meanwhile inrease in gdp is not what counts but the wellfare of the people
Fashola's changed Lagos alot for the better in the past few years. Electricity is a more national issue that will enable greater changes in other areas such as sanitation. In order to manufacture the building materials and machinery necessary for alot of municipal maintenance you need local manufacturing. Importing everything is too expensive. Electricity must improve.
Fashola did not change Lagos per se. It is rather the overall dynamism of its peoples that are responsible for the ever changing Lagos and Nigeria. Fashola as governor can and does succeed in chaperoning the great strides in Lagos at this time......Long may it continue.
Lagos is just like every typical megacity. it has its good and bad sides. tho the bad sides outweighs the good. It is a wonderful city albeit... its a city where millionaires are made,a city were you get smart a city where your hustle will surely pay. its a city for all... #ILoveLagos
I would love to travel here, maybe live... I want to move out the U.S. anyway, move to Africa, not sure where but hopefully one day ill be back to the motherland
No doubt come to South Africa the greatest African country everything works here like a well oiled machine. Mandela 's land perfect Government,Banking,infrastructure,opportunity,tourism ,education best varsity especially in Africa. All Africans and Asians are crowding in our doors
Caroline Lincoln no, the europeans who went to Africa stayed and have stayed for 350+ years in south africa. the white south africans fought off the British, built schools, roads, hospitals, infrastructure that makes many parts of S.A first world to this day. the majority of white africans have been there to stay. you are confusing spanish conquistadores with the settlers of modern day USA. the settlers of USA were there to stay-hence the war of independence-stopping goods +wealth flowing to Europe., the early spanish were there to pillage.
zircon dater That's from the Euro based historic info. Try getting another more accurate perspective from the other side. Its almost like reading the accounts of a rape from the perspective of the rapist that the rape victim, which h as far as i know is absurd and unheard of. Most books that are of the other perspective are banned from the educational paradigm of learning throughout most Euro education based system. Just being historically honest.
What a shame and what a bunch of racists. I would have liked to visit Africa one day and spend money there as well and help your economy - as I do via taxation as well. Now I can't be bothered anymore.
manofweed1 I am not in support of such a thing but this practice did not start in Nigeria at some point in any countries history such thing was done. in America less than 200yrs ago "witches" here burn alive but things have changed.
Anthony Donker Nigeria is still a developing country it's almost there to be called developed but not yet. At some point in U.S history New York was the most dirtiest city in America but today that have changed so the same thing with Lagos, Nigeria.
Wow! This borders on satire... model city? Seriously. The people I know who have worked in Lagos consider themselves lucky to have survived. It's more like the capital of corruption, crime, and environmental destruction. On top of that, it's bloody expensive.
If your people worked in Ajegunle that does not mean the worked in City of Lagos. yes not all part of lagos is like this but we celebrate the good part hoping that things will keep improving down the road.
They didn't mention the poverty that lurks within Lagos. Face it, when a city gets too populated, you've got problems. Lagos has a very high crime rate too. It is extremely dirty. Not someplace I'd want to spend my vacation.
Oh yah Little Black Bitch, What about poverty in America, UK, Germany and other places, bringing your drowny ass self when none needs your wampering bitch. I see BUMS AND SLUMS On the roads everyday in America, So stop talking about slums in lagos as if you have never heard of it. Nigeria is a Developing Country too DumbAss! DEVELOPING means, "Developing in economy and living standards dumbass. So bitch, you expecting a developing country to be 100% Great like America or Australia? Of course not DumbAss! So stop watching videos about Nigeria if you only gonna talk shit ok Denny Dumbass? Lagos, Don't listen to any of these niggas ok, Lagos you are doing GREAT, keep up the great work, GO NIGERIA, YOU CAN DO IT!
Thanx for agreeing. Why can't Lagos face its own problems within it before trying to expand and get all commercial? Though perhaps they need to attract tourists and richer people to spend money so they could have more money to spend on fixing their infrastructure, if they don't have the money already. You can see both sides of the argument. That all right with everybody?! Americas got its problems too; everywhere's got their problems. Nigeria's (Lagos's) is trying to develop but I'm just saying that their government may be overlooking some crucial problems in its society.
Boston. Sort of.... on the outskirts. It's got problems too. Every city does. I've never been to Lagos but I've learned about it plenty. It is working to improve it's infrastructure (hopefully) but it's got it's shitty parts, you gotta admit. I'm sure it's a great city at heart, though.
Lagos - the city with the worst airport in the world, streets that dirty that India would be ashamed, continouus power outages, loud + noisy + environment polluting generators, rusty cars, assaulting area boys, brown water right out of the water tap, corrupt officials at every corner... Thats Lagos - and it took me a stay of 5 days to figure this out. No, wait - most of the things took just 1 day. Oh, not all was bad - the beach was pretty nice at all.
Matthias Ginster To an extent I will not disagree with you. there are many challenges in Lagos and other cities in Nigeria but there are also things worth celebrating for there as well. if you have a business idea or project you want to put in place in lagos that should not stop you all you need is the right people and you are good.
How can you say I'm racist? I've been so far to 20+ different countries in the world and I travel approx. 40-50 days per year. During all my travels I liked the people I met and the places I've been - except for Lagos, even India was way better. So how can you judge people and places without having an appropriate comparison?
I know in my heart that this century belongs to Nigeria, the country has everything going for it and I wish it all the best :)
+Erlend Loe agreed !
WOW 39 thumbs down. Probably from people that just want to see an african city depicted as famine and crime ridden instead of something more positive like this promo. I was in Lagos in the 80's and the city was already pretty developed compared to other west african cities. It's good to see that they are pushing further.
Why would anybody put a thumbs down to this city. It looks amazing too me. Very modern. I am impressed. And I am saying this as a white dude.
Why do people actually give a shit about thumbs up or
Thumbs downs?? My 3 year old daughter randomly clicks videos and may hit the dislike button. Completely useless how many of which are what. Judge the video by your own standards.
I want to go to Lagos. Greetings from the Philippines.
Its just another Manila....congestion,trash,crime and slum areas just like Manila.
***** huh,so you set low standards for Nigerians just because there are some mediocre canals in Amsterdam? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds for a continent that is far behind on so many fronts?
You'll never get anywhere worthwhile if you set your benchmarks against underachievers.
Aezured hi! We cannot compare whole thing that Lagos and manila are same... interms of modernization, infrastrture, cleanliness and landscape. I can say lagos is same to one area only in Manila where a lot of slums.. but not whole manila.. Manila is exciting, energetic, and pop-culture. Even the skycraper of manila is one of the best in asia..
Manila is moderniized version of this city
"Wait, where are the mud huts, starving children with distended bellies, people running around half naked? This is Africa right?"- White Person

Proudly To Be A Nigerian. "Out of Naija still from Naija"
+Juzi Michael You have all the world to be proud to be Nigerian: For starters, a positive, psychological reinforcement to notice everyday of your life as you walk downtown Lagos that everyone looks like you, law enforcement, bankers -- the whole cast.

Visionary and a nice play on the familiar "Apple" . . . next implementation and our own actualization of our own image and motif

White people may have invented more things. But that is because of climate. Whites had a ton of time to sit inside inventing things, while Africans hunted, did mentally stimulating things, and became more social. You are very ignorant in your claims of whites somehow creating everything.
Education,education and education is what Nigeria and Africa as a whole needs urgently.Proud of Nigeria.
Just got back from Nigeria last week good things are going on in Nigeria exp places like Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, Port Harcourt and Akwa ibom. i guess more other places but i can only speak about this places because i visited them.
NIGERIANS TAKE MY ADVICE AND DO THIS!:
1) Start by building Garbage Treatment Plants in Every City, Town or Sate. Provide Jobs by organising Street Sweeping Vehicles as well as Garbage Trucks that will carry garbage from homes and streets to these Garbage Plants.
2) Then You must Build Sewage Treatment Plants To carry not only sewage but drainage. Cities must be built with large underground drainage systems not open Gutters. (IN EVERY CITY /TOWN)
3) You must build Clean Water Purification Plants. All water for drinking and bathing must come from massive reservoirs and water purification plants (centralized locations) where they can be treated germ-free by specified Enginners. (IN EVERY CITY/TOWN)
4) Also build multiple Gas fired Electric Power Plants - Nigeria flares Gas more than any other country in the world except Russia. All of the gas that has been wasted for many years could have been used to Build multiple Gas Fired Electric Power plants not just to provide electricity for Nigeria alone but for nearby countries. (Electricity is one of the primary keys to industrialization)
5) Build many high rise Buildings for the lower class. Get rid off all the slums and transport all the garbage from the slums to the garbage treatment plants. Put the lower class citizens in these buildings. Build more high rise buildings for the Middle and Higher class as well. City centers should be with organised high rise buildings with plans for maintenance at least every 10 years. All city roads should be marked and paved neatly, with paved and clean and organised sidewalks! Various City Locations should contain Large Parks, Greeneries and Recreation Areas.
6) Build multiple oil refineries (NOT JUST ONE AS PLANNED) so that the country can export fuel and petrolchemicals to other countries and make financial profit
7) Every money the country makes through trade should never be touched by anyone but should be used to Build at least 1 Technologically Advanced Hospital in every State (with plans for continuous maintenance). Hospitals that have the lastest technology in everything! from Organ Transplantation Units, Nuclear Medicine to stem cell research centres. Hospitals were doctors can diagnose a patient's illness immediately (no matter how complex) and have a solution for it, so that Nigerians will not have to die for uselless, ignorant reasons or travel to india or elsewhere to receive treatment. Hospitals or organisations that are capable of sending doctors abroad to learn the latest in Medical Technology and come back to teach other doctors. Like I said before if the country manages its money well, many Nigerians will not even need to pay medical tax.
8) Train and organise a better Police Force or Financial Security Organisations, Build larger and bigger prisons in every state to punish people who are not sincere (due to greed) over financial matters) otherwise most of the things I have mentioned above will never work.
9) For larger cities like Lagos. Abuja, Kano & Enugu build underground metropolitan systems to prevent traffic congestion- Think positively, it can be done! Get rid of all the Okadas and replace them with good taxi's (Okadas are one of the main factors of death in Nigeria). Replace all the danfoe buses and molue buses with better, organised buses in the cities. Also make bus stops with organised time schedules too.
10) Control immigration. Nigerias biggest problem is immigration. Many people come into the country illegally and many Nigerians dont even care nor are they organised to control immigration. Nigeria advertises the country too much like this video and people with poor living conditions pack into the country from nearby countries and because they have no place to lodge themselves, they build more slums and thus slum houses increase more than decent buildings. Lack of proper immigration is also the reason for Boko Haram in Nigeria. Decent Nigerian Muslims have become BokoHaram because other Islamic ideologies sipping into the country's Borders from the North.
11) Regulate or abolish indecency in Nollywood Movies. Ever since the Nigerian Movie Industry decided to call itself Nollywood it has become like a Pornographic industry (explicit sexual scenes in nollywood movies and homosexuality).
Before Nollywood existed, all Nigerian movies were very decent and very entertaining even without the erotic aspect of it that is portrayed today. Today Nollywood has become so sexually oriented that even the Hollywood industry it tried to copy from looks more sexually decent and organised.
12) Finally other issues include Birth Control - Abolition of barbaric street killings for simple issues such as stealing - Nigeria should encourage its citizens to be inventive/creative. When any Nigerian citizen invents or creates something, the Nigerian Government takes no interest in the work of that Nigerian person, instead they look for inventions from outside the country (US, Germany, UK....), which is wrong.The Nigerian government must take more interest in the inventions of its talented/creative citizens by assisting them financially because if that is done then Nigeria will be capable of manufacturing its own cars,trains, aircrafts, ships, medical equipment and every other thing they need in a couple of years>> (Industrialization and Self- Sufficiency!)
If Indians are capable of sending a rocket to Mars why shouldnt you?
Everything I have mentioned here will provide more jobs for many Nigerians
My Dear NIgerian Brothers>> Never accuse the countries you trade with as the cause of your problems & Never use difficult situations of other countries as an excuse to remain in your Poverty!
WAKE UP NIGERIANS! WAKE UP!
or
Otherwise Remain were you are!
you know you are a smart person
I agree with everything you said and this is not only true for Nigerian cities but other African cities as well.
hahahaha you just spoke good brains though in a provocative and comical manner. i love it though coz u just told the truth which is actually the reality of lagos
You're the kind of leader we need in this country.
Right on point.
Eko (Eco) o Ni baje o. Eko is Nigeria tradition name for Lagos. These are wonderful ambitions. Let us join to put these projects for Megacity in place. Amen to Lagos/Eko ambitions for mega city will not fail.
Would love to visit Nigeria someday. It's a very good thing a lot of these African countries are improving, and Asian countries too. My mom was born in Malaysia, and that country used to be so poor and backwards, but not anymore. Plus my mom has a good friend from Nigeria, and a lot of these Nigerians I met are the kindest most welcoming people I've ever encountered. Nigerians are a proud people, and a lot of Africans I met are the nicest people I've encountered in my life.
Lovely... I love the promo... it is true, Lagos has it ALL!!!!! Lovely!
in time nigeria will be a powerful rich country just got get the politics right
That is why he said. "In time'. In time, even sworn enemies become friends.
@El diablo da Costa how is it rich. Below 500b dollars GDP. There's companies with more than that.
it amazing their endeavour, I am so proud and people yapping about the poor, if you really care, go give money to them or charity but a country need to develop infrastructures and create opportunity so all can be help, giving money to the poor is just a band aid , they need a job,that infrastructures alone will generate more opportunity for the poor..
True, if you want to help. Become a business owner, create jobs.
Caroline Lincoln +Caroline Lincoln, The government should be for the people . The quality of their human resources is government's responsibility . why should Africans always hope for help from third party when you have democratic government?what are the roles your government should play in the lives of each citizen?
Nigeria has enough money to build cities for Yoruba and Hausa people alone right ?
Dog Heart Check out Uzu Kalu wealth, its a pity a igbo states get more allocation money and they blast it on Nigeria celebrities... but u are here crying like a baby...
Monie Fly Ignoramus... Statutory allocation is given to every state by the federal govt and it is based on the population of the state. the 13 million people in Lagos are not 13 million Yoruba but 13 million Nigerians . If not for the 13 million Nigerians Lagos would simply be one poor useless place. Money federal govt didn't give to Lagos was money meant for some new LGAs the Lagos state govt created by the governor which the federal govt didn't recognize Lagos didn't get LGA fund for those LGAs from the Fed govt. I ve educated you so thank me.. GO BACK TO YOUR STATE and LEAVE LAGOS ALONE.. And I am not Igbo so stop hating on IGBO. They are better than you ..
Excellent marketing advertisement! two thumbs up for Lagos and I hope to visit there one day!
Lagos may not be there yet but I am utterly impressed by the re-awakening and the sheer commitment and drive that seem to push the agenda of development forward. It is my fervent prayer that corruption would be given no pride of place in this noble quest. then will it be the shining star of Africa. Go Lagos!!!!!!!
Aww this is a very informative video, thank you my sisters and brothers.
Tomorrow is yours Africa.
I am proud of Lagos's achievement these past few years. Carry on. I can't wait to behold the brand new city built from reclaimed land.
As a half black American, this looks like paradise.
Love From Pakistan.
when i see these images, i'm more proud to be African.
This is the best tourism advert coming out from Nigeria. Nice work governor, i am very proud of this advert! Great Quality!!! How else can we promote this nation but to expose the good parts in it....Nice Job
This is a very good documentary of Lagos city. 100%.
Lagos !!!! Amazing place !!!
Eko o ni baje- Lagos will prosper. God bless Nigeria, Olaobaju Damilola and increase us beyond our imagination. Amen
This is so great, LAGOS is indeed a city of Inspiration.... I love LAGOS
i have lived in new york, cali and london.. there is no place like lagos, with further improvements the place would be on par with any other place..VIVA AFRICA!!!!!!!
Lagos is absolutely fine. Chaotic no doubt. But it is happening. I visited twice. Was not disappointed.
Lagos is absolutely gorgeous
LAGOS CITY HAS ALWAYS shared the same energy and feel like New York city...
I'm in the States, once met a Yoruba guy from Sierra Leone whose dad was the personal chef for the last British governor of Nigeria before Independence. He told me the Brits were all weeping at the colonial mansion on the day they had to switch power over to Nigerians in LAGOS. Remember Lagos was the first British colony in Nigeria from the 1850's and the Brits were loved and well trusted by the Yoruba people and so were the Brits mutually. Kinda explain why they were all weeping because the bond was very strong with Nigerians and the Brits no doubt.
Lagos is truly Nice,all
de way from Ghana
Very glad that Nigeria ousted SA as the biggest economy, it shows that competition is good and everything is moving forward in Africa. However some people want to rant about the small imperfections of these very young countries. The tide is shifting from SA Egypt Libya etc to new grounds like Nigeria Kenya Ghana Morocco Angola etc.
How can it be so when Nigeria's infrastructure is underdeveloped big economy does not equal to higher standard of living as of now the Nigerian government is bankrupt begging from IMF while South Africa can survive without lending in these tough economic climate
Preach and say it again for the people at the back
+Zwelakhe Zwane stfu...SA is in debt too. So now a big economy doesn't matter when it's Nigeria?
Lagos is a wonderful place... for africa!
***** Lagos is a wonderful place for Nigerians who think Africa is going places...ever been to Burkina Faso? - enough said
***** what's the worst African city you have ever been to - go on be honest?
Bulgaria is superb - are you sure you are not just another black man with an anger, a US passport and a limited grasp of geography as your defence of Africa is beginning to look a little unconvincing....
***** are you a muslim by any chance - the obsession with sex (and issues with women) kind of suggest to me that you are?
***** so you ARE an American then - pretending to be a spokesman for all things Pan-African - Nigerian - my word that didn't take long now did it!
***** well like I say you clearly have issues with Holland.As for Bulgarians who want to sell their body to fat American tourists in central America that is very much up to them surely - unless you are some sort of self-appointed moral guardian in these matters.You are from the US so feel the need to just about look down upon pretty everyone without your colour of passport - especially the French for daring to speak in their own language! Oh and you HATE anything that dares to suggest WELFARE - just another american sheep who probably thinks that government sponsored medicine is a sinister communist plot.Be nice to China - they will be your masters in the coming decades!
My dream place. Mesmerisingly beautiful:)
Love this video......
I'm ready to go! Like, today!
The part of Africa whites never show on media.. Lagos is indeed a place to be
Superb, superb, superb! Very impressive development - I love it.
Congrats to all involved. Keep up the great job.
I wish Lagos (Nigeria) the best
i will be visiting
Ok..me too I will visit very soo
I want to visit!
Lagos and the rest of Nigeria need to nurture the middle class. Without a strong middle class, developing can be very difficult. I wish you all the best Nigeria!
I think, in other cities, they do have more middle class than the US. Lagos is more polarized.
I only want to visit SCOAN in Lagos.
The most population city in Africa
This is the first time anyone is hearing something good come out of Nigeria. They are taking a step into the right direction and portraying Africa well. This video is suppose to motivate people to do better and help bring back some of the knowledge that has left through the diaspora. Of course Nigeria has a long way to go compared to western countries that has been an independent for many years, but with motivated, optimistic people who are proud of where they come from, Nigeria will be great.
The times are favorable, O Empress of Africa, for you to take the lead in extending not only the material progress but the psychological as well. Yes, just look at the faces of the people in this video -- all self loving, confident, free of the unfortunate lack of self respect seen in all too many black communities in and out of Africa. So carpe diem, O Empress, and remember to take the poor along with you into modernity. And be mindful always that your progress can suffer greatly without transparency in governance. Without it, all is hopelessly lost.
this is good but no wonder Lagos is jam packed
The more i see we Africans going the gulf way(Dubai,Qatar,Kuwait etc) makes me really worried,the truth is how many of these major constructions represent true social economic development and not ego and again,how long can we sustain such huge projects without causing imbalance in all aspects.
One reason I love this video is; it is focused on the dream Lagos and Yes they are working towards achieving it. One step at a time. EKO ONI BAJE
Lagos, what a beautiful city!
Greetings from Somalia :)
This can't be Africa they doing it like that.. I never new are mother land was like this I'm shocked. America should show this on TV more often wow..
they will never show this on tv for the blacks peoples.african you never see on tv.blacks people had been brainwash by a whites peoples.
Sharafa tijani yup all they see are those horrible UNICEF advert , I am beginning to think those kids are Hollywood actors though.
what a beautiful place is this! Better than Vienna and London. Visionary city as they say. So civilized and clean!
I'd disagree with your statement
it was a joke or cynisism rather if you haven't noticed...
Ah...why are you even bothered wasting your time watching a video about Lagos in the first place? They're working developing their city...I guess we Africans are damned if we do & damned if we don't
you "Africans" are certainly damned if you think that youtube viewers are fooled by propaganda videos as seen above....
+revol148 they why r u here?
o ba je ti! the truth is the best place I ave ever being and appreciate is Nigeria most especially Lagos state............. LAGOS IS GREAT .you get whatever you want however you want it.
The future is in Africa
WoW 200k views pls let us make it to a million views before the end of 2014.
I almost chocked myself when the governor said, Lagos is a safe place 😂
no more safe than all the gun-toting Republicans in the U.S.
Fewer mass shootings than in the US, by a lot.
belas ideia cidade moderna e linda torso pelo sucesso da nigeria
Very well done, excellent production.
Beautiful Black African women though! Yes!
MAN I LOVE MY COUNTRY NAIJA!!!
يا سلام مدينة جميلة
Lovely! I hope this vision is backed by relentless action, and may this spread to other states in Nigeria albeit Africa, AMEN. Even though I live in the US, I love my fatherland no matter what.
Lagos is so amazing doe
SUPER CINEMATOGRAPHY.
Good to you Lagos.
Truly a great city that can still get better!!
OMG i would love to be in Nigeria Lagos, but one thing that really hold me back is .. why are the prices from the hotels in Lagos are so sky high :-(
Because the demand for hotels is so high in Lagos that all hotels in Lagos just keep there price high. at this moment there are more hotels being build in Lagos than any other city in Africa and it still not enough.
ye becos they provide their own water,light and roads to the hotel..also the food is expensive as production does not meet demand...this is where govt needs to step in
***** I've been there. It's not THAT bad. I don't think its bad at all.
you can just stay with me babe
Merea Love truth be told Lagos is a pentagon with different sides, meet the right ppl and you will have the time of your life. you can "sofa surf" if you know any trustworthy person/ family in lagos. that way you will not need to worry about living in an hotel + you will get to taste the indigenous delicacies. good luck anyways. truly Lagos is a great city... and you are welcome to visit (especially during Christmas!!, you will love it!!)
woww..its look modern n gorgeous, whereas Johannesburg is dying, Lagos is rising like phoenix
inspiring. can't wait to go back.
wow, i'm sold!..the people seem lovely and the city looks better than the one i'm in;)..Perth.
I'am coming to Nigeria! I will like to know their people , cultures ... can you give me an idea. Thank you!!
+Kaiser Are you stupid or what? you have never went in Lagos why the fuck are saying That.
+Kaiser people like you seem to always have a problem when Africa is portrayed in any other way than what you want...I bet you also think that all the rich people in Africa should give their money to the poor
+Kaiser and you're 1% story is wrong
+Kaiser 😂paid government agent? Delusional much? Now if America & Europe could return some of the stolen money hidden in their banks that'd be great. I don't know why Nigeria pains you so much...it has many problems but it has grown in leaps & bounds over the past decade or so...more than most countries. Anyway, have a good day & I hope you and your friends enjoy whichever other part of Africa you visit aside from Nigeria
blaming Europeans for the failure of post-colonial Africa - pathetic - you could/should have made something of your country/continent but instead enriched yourselves for the sake of the many - shame on you !
Foster Dwamena, Lagos is a Ncie place to be...""
I remember arriving in Lagos. I was working on a flight from Atlanta to Lagos. once we arrived, the other flight attendants and I were so happy because for most of the crew, just like me, was our first time in Africa. but the security guards ruined our vibes by guarding us into the busses all the way to the hotel. the hotel was nice but we weren't allowed to go outside of the hotel. the walls were barbed wired and walls were very high with guards holding guns and all. probably someday, I would just go and without the chaos I experienced. i know it was for our own safety but yeah.
all the best to Lagos ,as long everyone benefits and not just the rich.
Can't wait to go back. Fashola has very ambitious plans. There is no reason for Nigeria not to be a world power. At least among developing countries. But there is still a lot of government corruption.
Africa has gotton better in the last 40 to 50 years,so that other guy does not know what he is talking about.so africa is not a crap hole.
in the last 5 years, since the 2008 economic boom of Africa started
StillBeautiful
well things were getting getting better before 2008 really since the 90's overall but in the 2000's things got better more so.
TheCell111 The governments are not the reason for the growth . It was coincidence ,thanks to China. Meanwhile inrease in gdp is not what counts but the wellfare of the people
Nice video, a breath of fresh air compared to other vids. Good job :) Go Lagos and Fashola
May God bless Africa and Nigeria
Fashola's changed Lagos alot for the better in the past few years. Electricity is a more national issue that will enable greater changes in other areas such as sanitation. In order to manufacture the building materials and machinery necessary for alot of municipal maintenance you need local manufacturing. Importing everything is too expensive. Electricity must improve.
Fashola did not change Lagos per se. It is rather the overall dynamism of its peoples that are responsible for the ever changing Lagos and Nigeria.
Fashola as governor can and does succeed in chaperoning the great strides in Lagos at this time......Long may it continue.
Who knew Samuel L. Jackson had time to be a governor i Nigeria..?
Lagos is just like every typical megacity. it has its good and bad sides. tho the bad sides outweighs the good. It is a wonderful city albeit... its a city where millionaires are made,a city were you get smart a city where your hustle will surely pay. its a city for all... #ILoveLagos
I would love to travel here, maybe live... I want to move out the U.S. anyway, move to Africa, not sure where but hopefully one day ill be back to the motherland
No doubt come to South Africa the greatest African country everything works here like a well oiled machine. Mandela 's land perfect Government,Banking,infrastructure,opportunity,tourism ,education best varsity especially in Africa. All Africans and Asians are crowding in our doors
If Europeans are there it will eventually be destroyed.
I don't believe this.
Caroline Lincoln no, the europeans who went to Africa stayed and have stayed for 350+ years in south africa. the white south africans fought off the British, built schools, roads, hospitals, infrastructure that makes many parts of S.A first world to this day. the majority of white africans have been there to stay.
you are confusing spanish conquistadores with the settlers of modern day USA. the settlers of USA were there to stay-hence the war of independence-stopping goods +wealth flowing to Europe., the early spanish were there to pillage.
zircon dater That's from the Euro based historic info. Try getting another more accurate perspective from the other side. Its almost like reading the accounts of a rape from the perspective of the rapist that the rape victim, which h as far as i know is absurd and unheard of. Most books that are of the other perspective are banned from the educational paradigm of learning throughout most Euro education based system. Just being historically honest.
zircon dater What planet are you on??? Are you not aware the evil,violent ways of the Dutch in South Africa someone needs a history lesson!
What a shame and what a bunch of racists. I would have liked to visit Africa one day and spend money there as well and help your economy - as I do via taxation as well. Now I can't be bothered anymore.
The big apple where they still burn 'witches' ?
like in your country there is no evil being commited there moron.
manofweed1
I am not in support of such a thing but this practice did not start in Nigeria at some point in any countries history such thing was done. in America less than 200yrs ago "witches" here burn alive but things have changed.
Like how this video makes this place out to be so nice.
there are many nice places in lagos so what the video is showing is the truth.
jiggar22
Sure maybe one city. and other places if you can find one that isn't riddled with unexploded ordnance.
Anthony Donker
Nigeria is still a developing country it's almost there to be called developed but not yet. At some point in U.S history New York was the most dirtiest city in America but today that have changed so the same thing with Lagos, Nigeria.
Beautiful peoples of Nigeria.
west Africa big apple be specific
guyhabone him nope Africa a big apple
Wow! This borders on satire... model city? Seriously. The people I know who have worked in Lagos consider themselves lucky to have survived. It's more like the capital of corruption, crime, and environmental destruction. On top of that, it's bloody expensive.
If your people worked in Ajegunle that does not mean the worked in City of Lagos. yes not all part of lagos is like this but we celebrate the good part hoping that things will keep improving down the road.
Looks nice. It definitely has potential, I just hope you can manage to find a solution for the trafic.
Wow! Impressive
They didn't mention the poverty that lurks within Lagos. Face it, when a city gets too populated, you've got problems. Lagos has a very high crime rate too. It is extremely dirty. Not someplace I'd want to spend my vacation.
don't have to be so goth damn rude bitch
Oh yah Little Black Bitch, What about poverty in America, UK, Germany and other places, bringing your drowny ass self when none needs your wampering bitch. I see BUMS AND SLUMS On the roads everyday in America, So stop talking about slums in lagos as if you have never heard of it. Nigeria is a Developing Country too DumbAss! DEVELOPING means, "Developing in economy and living standards dumbass. So bitch, you expecting a developing country to be 100% Great like America or Australia? Of course not DumbAss! So stop watching videos about Nigeria if you only gonna talk shit ok Denny Dumbass? Lagos, Don't listen to any of these niggas ok, Lagos you are doing GREAT, keep up the great work, GO NIGERIA, YOU CAN DO IT!
Thanx for agreeing. Why can't Lagos face its own problems within it before trying to expand and get all commercial? Though perhaps they need to attract tourists and richer people to spend money so they could have more money to spend on fixing their infrastructure, if they don't have the money already. You can see both sides of the argument. That all right with everybody?!
Americas got its problems too; everywhere's got their problems. Nigeria's (Lagos's) is trying to develop but I'm just saying that their government may be overlooking some crucial problems in its society.
Boston. Sort of.... on the outskirts. It's got problems too. Every city does. I've never been to Lagos but I've learned about it plenty. It is working to improve it's infrastructure (hopefully) but it's got it's shitty parts, you gotta admit. I'm sure it's a great city at heart, though.
*****
wtf?you are actually comparing nigeria to usa and uk?lol
Lagos - the city with the worst airport in the world, streets that dirty that India would be ashamed, continouus power outages, loud + noisy + environment polluting generators, rusty cars, assaulting area boys, brown water right out of the water tap, corrupt officials at every corner... Thats Lagos - and it took me a stay of 5 days to figure this out. No, wait - most of the things took just 1 day.
Oh, not all was bad - the beach was pretty nice at all.
Be honest when was the time you visited Lagos, Nigeria?
10.03.2014 - 15.03.2014...
Matthias Ginster To an extent I will not disagree with you. there are many challenges in Lagos and other cities in Nigeria but there are also things worth celebrating for there as well. if you have a business idea or project you want to put in place in lagos that should not stop you all you need is the right people and you are good.
I love to read racists cry when they see good images of Africa
How can you say I'm racist? I've been so far to 20+ different countries in the world and I travel approx. 40-50 days per year. During all my travels I liked the people I met and the places I've been - except for Lagos, even India was way better.
So how can you judge people and places without having an appropriate comparison?
This put tears in my eyes am going home this summer
i love it...
