And the Novotel

That novtel wouldn't be considered a high rise. 3/10 because I'm not very fond of cities with extreme poverty, crime etc..

i used to work on a team that supervised the importations of Nigeria, then after 3 years, there were some changes that our scope was limited to Murtala Muhammed Airport, Onne Seaport and Port Harcourt Airport including a subcon of all its land shipments via Seme Border. so i have some sort of attachment with this country. it needs more development, then hopefully more local resources will be used to fund the nation's infrastracture projects. this country has a potential because of its rich resources!

the story of pipeline accidents in suburbs makes me sad about the locals. do we have any Nigeria forumer here? Sorry for my ignorance. Wish you all the best.

Yeah, I am a Nigerian
You're probably refering to the explosion that occured a couple of months ago, yeah it was quite tragic . Well on the bright side the FG are installing new rader systems to cover all the Refineries and pipelines. The Fg are becoming more meticulous on issues such as Oil exportation and Gas Flaring etc. As for developments, there are a couple of nice projects see; The West African *Development Fact File*

The whole skyline is being rejuvenated and roads are being revamped and new ones are also planned. Also an indonesian company as expressed interests in constructing office and resiedntial towers in the City

nice to hear that. i hope to see some developments in the future.
by the way, how is security now in Lagos and Victoria Island? How is it like to be an expatriate there?

7/10. At least its skyline is better than many European cities with much higher GDP per capita and better quality of life (Rome, Berlin, Milan, Valencia, Barcelona, Marseille, Birmigham, Stockholm, Amsterdam, etc), althought its still dissapointing for its population.
