Lagos is bad, but try six months in Monrovia, after the Ghana Accord put the warlords in stasis. No electricity or water supply. No economy. War-wounded on the streets. What order was there was in the hands of Nigerian peacekeepers. Haven't been back since they got a government, though. Maybe it's better.
I also visited 40 secondary cities in Bangladesh over a period of three months. Returning to Dhaka made it look like the promised land. Ever see a whole plane load of passengers start applauding when the wheels leave the ground? That's the departure from Dhaka. Over a quarter of a million Bangladeshis illegally emigrate annually ... to Calcutta, for a better life.
