Another video, yehh!!

Thank you for the video! I was wondering what your thoughts are on the Lagos Blue Line and its future, as well as the potential benefits of the Lagos-Kano corridor? It's quite hard to find in depth information online about these projects.

[@nigerianurbanism]

Thank you for watching. I think the Lagos Blue Line does have a lot of potential because it was planned to run through dense urban areas of Lagos. If anything, the worries are on overpopulation. However, there are several elements that can be improved on the line such as the frequency and speed of the rides. With the line, my basic reaction is that it's better late than never. The city should've had such functional urban transit infrastructure decades ago. I hope the other lines can be developed faster for a more comprehensive urban rail system.

@@nigerianurbanism Thank you for your answer

[@Cheesenommer]

This was quite interesting! Are you planning to talk more in the future about informal housing?

[@nigerianurbanism]

Thank you! Yes, informal housing is a very important sector of Nigeria's housing in many urban areas. It deserves a lot more attention.

Love your content❤ very informative and helpful. But I have to disagree with the property tax. More taxation of the people on what they already own is like slavery.

[@ubongekanem210]

Very insightful and informative. Kudos

At 10:25 you mentioned a tax on undeveloped land, im not an economy major but i think this is called a land value tax.

[@nigerianurbanism]

Yup! It's called land value tax. There's also a call for tax on vacant buildings because of how little value they add to the city.
