Vision2017:on the contrary i am not glorifieng delta but i was responding to the your comment about delta towns being surrounded by forests as if to imply destruction of vegetation to be replaced by urban jungles that dot nigerias landscape is a sign of development. |

@OP It seems like you were born and bred in Lagos hence you know nothing about anywhere other than Lagos (and maybe Abuja thanks to Nollywood). As far as I'm concerned, Anambra shouldn't be in that list. If your topic was about the most populated states in Nigeria then I would have caved but since it's otherwise, I refuse to budge. There are no shopping malls in Anambra! There are no No skyscraper (I haven't seen any) in Onitsha nor Awka. Enugu's much better in terms of development than Anambra, Delta, Edo or Oyo. Good road-networks, awesome buildings, lots of supermarkets, shopping malls (like Shoprite) and yes, nice people. Get your facts right, dude. 6 Likes |

asha 80: then you probably have not been to the countryside of developed nations.i wonder how urbanised they are but they are still developed.migrating to some places that are urbanised does not necessarily mean those places are developmed.it can mean there more cash exchanging hands in that location.development goes beyod people erecting houses indiscrimately everywhere in an area or packing themselves like sardines in an area.Can I candidly advice you to consult the dictionary and check for the definition of urbanisation? A place cannot be urbanised if it has not got a comparative advantage to other places, hence the reason an urbanised area is developed. It becomes subjective what you call development. Your example of country side being developed is a misnomer else they would not be called countryside aka glorified name for rural area. Going by your example again, money will exchange hands only if the sophistication in trade and commerce of that place is more developed compared to the other places, again this does not fit in the definition of development according to the United Nations habitat...http://www.un-documents.net/ocf-02.htm |

asha 80: then if that is the case onitsha is more developed than benin since cash transaction is higher in onitsha than benin.You do not use one component.. Go back to the link. I posted in the update to my post... That will give you a better perspective on development and its sustainability. Development encompasses not just trade and commerce, but infrastructure, culture and well being. |

asha 80: i wonder why we confuse urbanization with development. ^^^Exactly! I know i may draw some flack here, but Anambra is more urbanised than developed. When I talk of a developed state, states that are approaching such a status are Abuja, Akwa Ibom and parts of Lagos (mind you, for now we're talking more of the state capital here). A developed state should have some (or all) of the following: an integrated inter/intracity transportation system consisting of buses, trains, taxis, boats, etc; constant power supply; constant water supply; an adequate and well equipped health service; adequate waste disposal service; adequate security; leisure, entertainment and tourist centres like parks, theatres, museums, 5-star Hotels, Golf clubs, gyms, etc; readily accessible maps of city layouts either in hard or softcopies; an airport or two; a well-appointed and spotless business district; gov't/private enabled mass housing; serene and beautiful upperclass residential areas for high networth individuals/families. So you see that we still have a long way to go; but if things are done fairly in this country, with everyone allowed the space and resources to develop at their own pace, and with good visionary leadership in place, i see cities like Onitsha, Aba, Enugu, Owerri, Gombe, Portharcourt, Kano and Abeokuta getting close to such a standard in the next 10 years; this is why we should elect |

Vision2017: Delta shouldn't make the list. Truth be told, there are only 2 major cities in Delta and these are Asaba the state capital and Warri. Other glorified towns cum cities are only but a mere shadow of what a city should be. Delta is mostly beclouded by thick bushes and forest virtually everywhere. Nothing is happening in Delta and I can't help but wonder why Delta made your list of the most developed state in Nigeria. Delta remains a dungeon where wild animals thrivesVILLAGE MENTALITY 1 Like |

I've been to several states in the west, south-south, south-east middlebelt and some northern states. I can comfortably say that Abuja, Lagos, Anambra, Enugu deserves to be in that list. |
