Nigeria best cities challenge is a contest which we intend to rate Nigerian cities in accordance to the criteria submitted to our premium Ratings site by majority of our respondents as to what they considers most important to living the good life. The following are the criteria most rooted for and the criteria to judging our best cities will be based upon them.Standard of living
Security
Beauty/aesthetics
Serenity/orderliness
Relaxation/Hospitality
BRIEF BREAKDOWN OF THESE CRITERIA
STANDARD OF LIVING: people tend to live better in cities with higher standard of living compared to people living in cities with lower standard of living. Per capital income is one of the widely accepted quantitative measures of the standard of living of people in a given locality. It shows the average earning of individual in a given locality in one year and quantitatively expressed as the ratio of the GDP to the total population in a given year. GDP per capital does not capture the dynamics of distribution of income and may be misleading at times. We therefore, at this end, also have to consider the inflow and circulation of income to and within the cities as a result of the prevailing economic activities in the cities such as the presence of industries, commerce, tourism and hospitality, the level of government spending etc. we will also consider the employment potentials vis a vis the extent of the labour force pressure; the purchasing power vis a vis the cost of living. So where are the cities in Nigeria that have the fairest share of high standard of living?
SECURITY: Security of lives and property is central to living the good life and it is by no means unexpected that most of our respondents considered it very important in living the life after all who would not want to stay safe. So the big question is: where are Nigeria safest cities?
BEAUTY AND AESTHETICS: one of the trappings that lure and keep people in a place is it beauty and aesthetic design. Little wonder why historic cities like Eldorado, London, Paris, etc are synonymous to beauty and destination cities. So where are the Nigerian beautiful cities located? Where can we find the impressive skyline, eye catching city aerial view, beautiful road network, quality structures, lush and well mowed city flowers and grasses, etc?
SERENITY AND ORDERLINESS: people tend to prefer to live in a clean, orderly and peaceful neighborhood as such it is not a coincident that a whole lot of our respondents fingered it as a major criterion to living the good life. Nobody would prefer by free will to leave in a slummy, shanty and garbage ridden environment to a serene one. So where are the serene cities in Nigeria? the cities with the cleanest neighborhood; effective refuse management system; orderly building in relation to road network; greenery; well thought out city segmentation (in terms of commercial area, industrial area, residential area, etc).
GROOVE/RELAXATION/HOSPITALITY: most people considers unwinding and relaxation as an indispensable aspect of living the good life especially after some hectic hours of day work. So where are the cities having the groove thing going on for them all day, all week and round the year?. The cities with the touch of las Vegas (aka sin city aka the entertainment capital of the world!). Where are the cities with ample of relaxation spots, hotels, casinos, night life, women and all other ingredients necessary for groove, relaxation and hospitality?
