The actual line of the West African coastal Megalopolis is Abidjan to Douala, stretching through the Southern Nigerian coastline into littoral Cameroon, not Abidjan to Lagos. After Lagos, there are still several huge Nigerian urban centres dotting the coastline, some even bigger than some of the cities situated on the urban line between Abidjan and Lagos, for example, Port Harcourt. This would become even more important after the entire Nigerian coastline is connected by a super Highway which will run parallel to the coast from the Lagos Metropolis in its western end to Calabar on its eastern end, a project which the Nigerian government has already commenced.

[@AngelPierrot-qe3rx]

Maybe this line could go far crossing Douala to another coastal cities.

[@cityarchitecturegang]

Thank you for your insightful comment! You’re absolutely right about the extent of the West African coastal Megalopolis. The connection from Abidjan to Douala and the impact of the Nigerian coastal super highway are indeed significant. Your points about Port Harcourt and other major urban centers are well-taken. 🌍🚧

Urbanization is only impressive when accompanied by actual well thought-out PLANNING!!

Also, a growing population of people with no access to good schooling, healthcare, potable water is a disaster waiting to happen.

It absolutely has the potential to be a major economic are in the future. However, stability and corruption has been Africa's Achilles heel for decades.

What makes a Nation Great is the Leadership !!! I challenge that White Voice to explain to me what Qualities, what Values, what Actions, what Ideology explain the Greatness of the Leaders in those countries that White is talking about. For a country to become relevant, it needs a Leadership comparable to that of Japan, South Korea, China, Russia, Cuba, Vénézuela of late Chavez or the Leadership of the US even though it's a Force of Terror. Who are those who are ruling most African countries ? Nationalist Leaders or Puppets, Traitors, their own Populations vomit ? Don't you insult Our Intelligence with your ridiculous pseudo analysis of those African countries you've chosen.

[@AngelPierrot-qe3rx]

Uhmmmmm. I agree with you. But If you watch the entire video you will notice that they mentioned the question of colonialism and government. The CFA Franc and other issues.
