I feel he gave too much importance to Lagos in the context of Nigeria. All well & good for these clever financial types to talk, but we would be better served if people like him moved back there to contribute to our renaissance. A very interesting event - congratulations to Bukka.Ike[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1154034374444474912006-07-27T22:06:00.000+01:002006-07-27T22:06:00.000+01:00It was a fascinatining event introduced by the Nigerian architect, Giles Omezi. John Godwin was very informed about the urban development of Lagos, and Kaye Whiteman, the writer was pretty good. The talk by FMC Mordi was an intellectual tour de force, considering he appeared to be extemporising, after discarding his notes, due to time constraints. It was amusing to see that the audible gasps at his provocative comments, came mostly from the Nigerians in the audience. Good speakers, enjoyed it immensely. It would be great to have more events like this.Rupert Warburton[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1151743945200319422006-07-01T09:52:00.000+01:002006-07-01T09:52:00.000+01:00I attended the conference at SOAS and it was very intresting. Although I arrived a little bit late, some of the presentations were intresting especially from Prof. John Godwin about the proposed urban redevelopment that that is being planned by the Lagos state government.Ugo Okaforhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12775577911891353332[email protected]
