Bandit C.: I think you are just mad...I need to question your sanity If I've been to Enugu....does that mean I've been to the whole of Enugu State. Are you in your deluded and warped mind equating Enugu town to Enugu state? You are an embarrassment really to which ever cave village school you attended. You just lack basic comprehension that can only be alluded to poor education that most of you run to the SW to avoid. person..! 2 Likes |

I am from Enugu state.it is very obvious that there is psychological issues with the writer of ds thread.i dnt mean to be rude.but apart from all other states wit lower Gross Domestic Product index,why did u select Enugu for ur tribalistic cum sentimental write up.probably ur state is the best.bt Enugu is GOOD 2 GO.until we kip ethnicity aside n tink abt a way out,we wil go d way of our forefathers dat use "trial n error" to dev naija. |

This guys account has been hacked.its difficult to find a yoruba who doesn't live a life of denial. Sam xiu lee: We YORUBAs need to start healthy industrial competition among our cities and towns,most of the cities and town in southwest are either civil servants or agrarian,to be honest most are nothing to write home about,apology to who might be offended,ile ife is a ghost town without OAU,Oshogbo a capital is sleepy,ogbomosho has nothing to write about,akure,ondo,ekiti are all civil servant town,I dare call them cities,Ibadan has some places that are wonderful,oluyole estate,new bodija,ashi,other suburbs are just there,Abeokuta has a lot of potential but its just a semi commercial city,truth must be told and am happy the southeast is giving us a run for our money. 1 Like |

If the other parts of Nigeria are actually thriving like people talk about them on nl, how come people aren't moving there and everyone seems to migrating towards Lagos and SW? Evidently, it's either you lot are telling porkies, or naija people are just naturally addicted to stress and hardship. Basically, one would think that the glossy pictures of Abuja, Uyo, Enugu, Delta, Calabar etc. would entice most people who have absolutely no business whatsoever being in Lagos - to move to these places. However, the opposite seems to be the case. I'm all for all naija states developing, however, stop telling us porkies - numbers don't lie and there's a reason why most of these so-called "thriving" places are at the butt-crack of the GDP ratings in the country. To Igbo's: when are you lot going to start debating issues intellectually without emotions? A lot of people are here to learn, and not for unnecessary emotional outbursts. |

chima12: Why should a nigerian be using google earth to show us which places are towns and which places are villages? Welcome.... I can't claim as a Nigerian to have been to the whole parts of the country.....however we have a tool...a modern technological tool to use to see places ( even sometimes at street level) that you've never or will never be. If you have any other means to disprove that Enugu is just one-city state....pls show me. Am tired of all these emotional craps coming from the other person that have been bleating here like a goat all day. 1 Like |

Agreed - Enugu is booming and apparently (according to most Igbo's online and offline), Igbo's made Lagos what it's. How come there's no reverse migration from Lagos to Enugu (and all the other so-called "thriving" states) and these people striving to replicate what they did in Lagos over there? Let's do a comparative analysis: in the UK, when Manchester started thriving again after the commonwealth games, loads of people from London moved there. Same for Milton Keynes and a lot of other cities in the UK. In the US, when there's reverse migration from up North and New York to the South (most people moved from the South up North in the 60's and 70's when the economic situation in the South was terrible). However, how come the opposite is the case in Nigeria? We keep hearing about Enugu, Akwa Ibom, Calabar and even Abuja - but those places look like ghost towns compared to Lagos. Why is that? 1 Like |

ilugunboy: Don't blame the ajokutamamumis. It is an historical fact that the ibos are predominantly cave and village dwellers. It was the colonialists that built their so called Enugu from scratch! 95% of iboland still comprises of hamlets and villages up till today. Don't blame them when they hold on to little Enugu as "the pride of the east" that is the best they have let's humour them and keep their illusion alive. |

Fake data is first posted by yoruba yahoo yahoo boys on the internet.Then they try their usual lies and deceit by trying to post the fake data here to convince us someone actually went around and interviewed all the workers and business men in the respective states to come up with a GDP figure? Bros, don't take them seriously. Some of the yoruba here are actually secondary school drop outs. So i have only a select few that i read their comments. The others are Jaguda 2 Likes |

SLIDE waxie: When I served in Enugu over 5 years ago, there was no single bakery in Oji River LGA. They had to rely on supplies from Enugu city...I kept on wondering why no smart-ass can set up a bakery there and make his dough. The only thing in abundance in Enugu is alcohol, especially beer. No wonder the largest brewery in West Africa is located right at the heart of Nkwo area (9th mile)... |

4chi: You people are just laughable. You call Igbo land hamlets. I guess you were blind when Igbos were posting pictures of their ''village'' homes. It was on purpose. To ridicule you imbeciles who sit in their caves and holes and declare themselves best in everything. Truth is you Yorubas are painfully backward despite your free and worthless education. You can't claw yourselves out of a polythene bag if your lives depended on it. Unfortunately for you i.d.iots, the rest of Nigeria, especially Igbos, know you in and out, your history, how you live and how disgusting your livestyles are. From Oshogbo to Ibadan, you people are not having it good and do not make me start posting disgusting pictures of where you call homes. Little wonder why all of you became lagosians all of a sudden. Ask any Igbo or easterner who has ever travelled to Lagos, the shock they often exhibit, once they cross into yoruba land. Apart from Akure, all you see is thick forest after thick forest with occassional appearance of shanty settlements. This is what you call ''sophistication'' The whole god-damned SW is a massive slum not fit for human habitation. Sometimes when i pass the odor-filled southwest, i thank the Most High that i am an easterner. From Onitsha to Enugu, from Owerre to Uyo, from Eket to Abakeleke, whenever you pass through these cities, you would recognize that there are humans living there but not just any kind of Nigerian but ingenious, industrious and well cultured people dwelling there, a people with pride. The unimaginable structures after structures molded by man that greet you is a testimony that you have crossed into region of greatness once you enter the SE. You all should know that this is 2013 where at a blink of an eye, people can disprove your lies with concrete evidence and pictures. The SW is a mess including lagos. And to the tout asking why Igbos move to Lagos, you must be an i.diot if you do not know that it is a tiny fraction of Igbos who traverse between the SE and Lagos due to business reasons (the Wharf, Airport etc) and due to the fact that most relevant government institutions are located there. Igbos do not, i repeat, do not move to the SW (as the rest of them outside Lagos are nothing to write home about) but Lagos. The vast majority of Igbos are in the SE, it's neighbouring cities or outside the country. You yorubas are a disgrace and a massive joke. All over europe begging for drinks in the club from Igbo boys. *spits* 10 Likes |

But the Yorubas, for their part, must quit claiming everything from the first Nigerian medical doctor to the first state university in Nigeria, to being the most educated Nigerian group, or being the only group ever to have seen the Queen of England... falsehoods that have been debunked time and again. It's okay to be second sometimes, or third. Or, even admit you've never seen the Queen of England. (Who the hell is she anyway! Has she met the richest Yoruba's: Fernandez and Folorunso) After all, it's more honorable to fail than to cheat-the line's not mine |
