Lagos - Nigeria

Javier · August 18th, 2003, 06:09 AM

Lagos, in Nigeria... a poor city but IMO it has a very surprisng skyline.
What do you think, guys ?

Venezuelacom · August 18th, 2003, 08:31 AM

It's a big surprise, 8.0/10

De Snor · August 18th, 2003, 10:24 AM

I didn't know about the location of Lagos and it is simply stunning imo. The architecture is rather boxy but it's a very pleasant surprise to see something from this rather big Nigerian city !

6/10 i gave it +1 for being a surprise. i didn't know Lagos had a skyline. it's a boxy one but it's quite numerous, the scrapers

7/10

it looks ok.

Brasil Guy · August 19th, 2003, 08:27 PM

6 for the surprise of some high-rises in Nigeria

August 19th, 2003, 11:34 PM

7.5 for africa.........4 if it was in any other continent....

Talisker · August 20th, 2003, 04:31 PM

Objectively I don't rate it highly - the buildings are boxy and ugly. The overall effect looks OK though. 5/10

weirdo · August 23rd, 2003, 08:54 PM

i want to rate it higher considering it's an african skyline. however that would be unfair to other cities such as north american ones that have better skylines compared to this one but rated lower cos they are in north america.

but it's not that bad. nice boxes. and looks cool. 5.5/10

Better than I thought !!

elsonic · August 28th, 2003, 06:10 PM

that city is now between 8 and 15 millions. nobody really knows. it's one of the fastest-growing city in the world.

could be the more populous metropolis of the world some day.

OFFICIAL POPULATION (x1000) :
1995 : 5195.2
2003 : 8349.7

more about the population of that chaotic monster...

On an AFrica Scale : 6.5 / 10

On a world scale : 4.5/10

Thus : 5.5

Chibcha2k · October 8th, 2003, 03:04 AM

err...not surprising at all... 5/10

Necker · October 8th, 2003, 04:45 AM

I'm not surprised. What did you expect, only slums? Almost each of the big cities in Africa have 4 or 5 buildings that are taller than the rest. 4/10

Aquarius · November 19th, 2003, 08:59 PM

being Africa 6, as city is a disaster

Primo · November 19th, 2003, 10:53 PM
