Eko o ni Baje Oooo. Lagos is ranked the 4th worst city on earth and
the second-fastest growing city in Africa. This is courtesy of Economist
Intelligence Unit, EIU According to the list which has countries from Africa and Asia in the
first three,Lagos shares its 137 position with Port Moresby, in Papua
New Guinea The report released yesterday reads....
“Rapid growth is not always a good thing because Lagos is now a
magnet for two perpetual threats to peace: pirates and Islamist
warriors. Boko Haram have a problem with cities like Lagos and also lots of
weaponry. Pirates threaten trade and use kidnapping as a method of
funding. Islamist terrorist groups such as Boko Haram (“Education is
forbidden”) want to create their own version of heaven on earth by
destroying cities such as Lagos and imposing strict sharia law. Lagos
has enormous potential but as yet little to show for it – hence its poor
ranking,”
