The study was conducted on 5,200 well-
educated, high net-worth adults.

Cities were rated on factors including their
culture and infrastructure.

Lagos in Nigeria was rated at the bottom of the
newly published list of 30.

London triumphed in a new study of the world's
greatest cities, leaving close competitors Paris and
New York in the dust.
Rated on a variety of factors including its culture,
entertainment, infrastructure, health and general
happiness; the results were determined by 5,200 well-
educated, high net-worth adults from 16 countries
around the world.

The poll, published last week by consultancy firm PwC,
was conducted in December 2015, before Britain's
shock Brexit verdict.
Paris was the runner up, scoring top with regards to
cultural influence, including attractions and cultural
trendsetting, and was in the top-three-ranked cities in
of entertainment and cuisine.
New York, which came third, was viewed overall as the
'leader' for its economic influence and ability to
provide easy access to capital.

Anyone who buys this nasty, worthless 'list' from white racist animals needs to have their heads checked. Wonder why their list just so happened to end at number 30, (with 'Lagos' in 'last place' of course) when the world has thousands of cities including many far worse than Lagos.

Animals. We only pity those who buy into your manipulative trash.

General Nigerian malaise, not surprised at all due to short sightedness, greed, poor planning and non-compliance with what little planning there is. Population density does not count for much where there is improper or insufficient planning.

Oh please.....you're easily manipulated. When someone presents you with a ''list'' of 30 cities with yours at the bottom, you need to ask them WHY they have a list of 30, instead of 35, 40, 50, 60, or 100. Why did they stop at 30 with your city, to make it appear your city is the worst city in the world? Use our brain.

They couldn't have Abuja, or Nairobi, or Dakar etc etc, on their 'list'. They needed a proud black city with 'issues' which they could conveniently place as 'last on the list' in order to promote their racist agenda. That is why you won't see Abuja on the list. They know exactly what they're doing.

EXACTLY, You are smart. They could have EASILY put some other 'nice' European or American city at No 30. Or filled the entire list with them - cities like Zurich, Lisbon, Warsaw, Manchester, Istanbul, Munich, Barcelona, Brussels, Oslo, Rome, Hamburg, Prague, Frankfurt, Naples, Seattle, Philadelphia, Boston, Miami etc.. Or are we saying that Lagos is more advanced than all those cities? But doing that wouldn't have served the purpose of placing black Africa's biggest city ''last on the list'', to serve their racist agenda.

Is Munich not a ''global city''? Are Rome, Vienna, Miami, Seattle, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Copenhagen etc not ''global cities''? Why are they not on the list? They had to reserve space at ''No 30'' to place you 'last' and 'worst'. Can't you see that? They always do this. In truth, there should be no space for Lagos on that list, if we are talking of those measurement indices used in the so-called survey.

The cities chosen are major regional centres of commerce and population. If you look closely you will notice that all subcontinents are represented Milan is the major economic centre in Italy, Berlin for , London for UK, Madrid for Spain, Amsterdam for Holland, Moscow Russia and Stockholm for the Scandinavia and these are Europe's largest economies ;
NY, LA, San Francisco and Chicago with Toronto and Mexico city for North America
Sao Paulo, Rio, Bogota for South and Central America.
Johannesburg and Lagos are the major players in Africa. Cairo may have been included and it will still beat Lagos.

Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jarkata, Seoul for SE Asia

Mumbai, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo for Indochina and Japan.

Dubai for the middle east.

Sydney for Australia

These cities were carefully and purposefully chosen because of the regions and countries they are within and their unique diversity and some were left out to avoid duplicity or because they were not seen as global enough.

Keep deceiving yourself. Sure. .it just "coincidentally" stopped at 30, with Lagos last and "worst". I notice you always have an excuse for white folks when they denigrate you. Your own inferiority complex wears a hat and carries a walking stick.

These are the 30 most globalised cities in the world chosen from different regions.

You are the one living in denial here the quality of life in Lagos is abysmal compared to world standards and you don't need any ranking to even deduce that.
We should seek for ways to improve it and not blaming others for our flops. The indices for assessment are clear.

Even if the list added twenty more global cities Lagos will still sink to the bottom.
