I would like to discuss on the Architectural Progress, style and methods of Architects in Abuja and Lagos using various criteria to compare them..Please feel free to share your thoughts,pictures,ideas, publications and articles (pharleescar@gmail.com).
Like Zayyad I. Muhammad once said in his article "A tale of two cities"
Lagos and Abuja are two faces of Nigeria, and perhaps the pride of many Nigerians. The two cities have similarities and differences in virtually everything in them. Lagos can be liken to a beauty Queen, dressed in a glittery-white-satin, standing beside a street, smiling and waving to passersby, but when she speaks, her mouth smells, she has body odor, she is arrogant and materialistic.
Abuja on the other hand, can be liken to a beautiful Princess, dressed in a fabulous chocolate-lace, having sexy curves and hot legs, but she is a bimbo. When she speaks, her voice is thunderous, and a handshake with her; is like a grip of a female Gorilla’s hands, her hands are as strong as irons.
I hope you don’t talk down your very essence. Every time we spot a bodily defect on our dear Nigeria who’s gorgeously dressed, we should realize we have duty as architects, designers and engineers alike to improve both how she looks and how way we see her.
ReplyDeleteI’l tell you the Nigeria I see…… She is still putting on her 'coat of arms', she's dressed in white and green... She's facing so much trouble in her 50s, yet she’s still so strong to celebrate... Nigeria is a beautiful lady, She can only get Stronger... #PrayForNigeria #CelebrateWithHer #SpeakGoodInToHer #ILoveNigeria.
There’s so much on you son. Start shaping what you want to see. Don’t fail your generation.
Thanks...
