  And if that's OUR BEST city, how much less are the others - Ibadan, Ilorin, Imo, Enugu......?? I don't even think it was this bad in Babangida's time sef - as bad as Babangida was.
Yet, our leaders in the belief they are "achieving" the best for the country in their capacity. We're surely enjoying it.

Fashola tried his best to make Lagos look good but the two governors after him have rubbished all that he put in.

They are sick with their ranking! Lagos is the ecomomy hub of Africa, has the most expensive houses in Africa, maybe it was ranked based on over population and the slum areas?
