pages, if you actually took the time to see my edits, you would see that I removed NO INFORMATION and NO PHOTOS from the page. I removed the dead hyperlinks because they are tacky. If you hyperlink something for which a page does not exist AND you do not take the initiative to start a page, then you are not doing
Knowledge (XXG) a service. Further, pictures of privately owned apartment blocks (Abuja and Lagos articles) and a grainy picture of the back of someone's head at a Lagos lounge are PRIVATE pictures, and not at all indicative of the cities themselves. My resize of some of the pics related to their disproportionate size vis-a-vis the blocks of texts they sat next to. In addition, I added certain photos (like the Abuja Residential Duplex) to the photo gallery in the article because it did not correspond to any text in the article. Please, do NOT try and tell me not to "undo" the hard work of others. You might be interested to know that I have personally contributed a substantial amount of time to both the Lagos and Abuja articles, albeit before I signed up for a username. Not only did I not remove anyone's text, but I went to specific pains to leave intact other people's pictures if they were mildly appropriate. I will reinstate my revisions, and you should be forewarned not to undo them without valid reason. I look forward to an intelligent response if you have one to offer.

I do not see why my contributions should be deleted by someone who probably has never been here before and probably has a set bias on what they think the city is all about. I therefore serve notice of my intention to re-post my edits ; if in the future such is repeated for no justifiable reason then I will be forced to reconsider my decision to join
Knowledge (XXG) which would be a shame as I have been an avid follower for almost a decade.

I don't think "The Abuja

I suggest this because it is fairly obvious that the current population of Abuja far exceeds 778,564 - and is in fact possibly now several million. The figure given is therefore quite misleading. As for the estimated population, I won't hazard an actual suggestion, but there must exist somewhere a

I am a new user and I noticed that the

There has been a city by the name of Abuja before the new capital was planned some 40 km WNW of the Three-Arms-Zone. At some time during the planning process of the new capital -- unfortunately I have no official date yet -- this city was renamed to Suleja to avoid confusion.
