Well you've already confirmed your bias. You gave absolutely no basis in your initial post as to why those places are better than Lagos. So I informed you that economically Lagos wins. Since you don't care about ecinomics we can go to tourism, we can go to entertainment (Nollywood) and just sheer numbers. Lagos wins.
If your judging by word of mouth and pictures you see online then you already lost.
Even those pictures posted of Lagos doesn't show the full picture which is why I'm comparing tangible metrics.
East Africa is definitely on the rise, but the fact remains that Lagos has them beat.
