A 4-5 storey building doesn't mean sophistication or modernity. @op, if ur father is still alive or ur grandpa ask him to tell u d story of nigeria and ow nigeria was planned according to each geo-zone. D 5 south eastern states have 2 major problems: -ecological problem, and a tiny habitable land. Ecological problem: d whole of south east is ravaged wit erosion as more Dan 50% of ur tiny land is lost to dat. -size of d region: u and I both know dat d just only oyo state and d state of osun is larger Dan d whole of ur 5 south eastern state, dis is a known fact as u can Google it as well. Now, losing 50% to erosion, d city planners of d nation designed and designated more Dan 2 storey building for most of d south eastern state so as to preserve d little u av left. Ask ur grandpa if he knows anybody working wit d govt in dos days so as to get more info on dat. I'm not a tribal person, I'm a pure nationalist dat likes integration. My best friend is ibo and I can die for him and I also know he can do such for me but he doesn't av dis kinda orientation u nairaland ibos av. @op: do u know dat d total number of ibos in ibadan alone is more Dan d total number of ebonyi indigenous? Ibadan is a slum yet u all troop in everyday every second every minute every house and we don't ethinicise we welcome u, we give u d room to grow and prosper and all u could do is to dizz ur host? Wen u know it's a slum, wia u sent an invitation letter by dis ppl to come to their lands? Y not stay in ur better place and grow? I can personally give u like 5 ibos dat relocated to ibadan from borno state due to d unrest there and not going to their original state. They knew ibadan to be a slum, we didn't dey relocate to their better eastern place from borno state, y ibadan? Almost 30% of d casual and labour workers in d factories in ibadan are ibos. U can ask ur ppl here, dey will tell u d truth. We welcome u we give u d space to grow yet u say rubbish. Ow many yorubas work as casual workers in d factories in d East? Pls stop all dis tribal shit kos it's not helping issue. I av a very good good good ibo friend wit who I can share anything in dis life wit but he doesn't reason dis way u guys r. 8 Likes |

Ow many 4-5 storey buildings do u find in edo, rivers, bayelsa, akwa ibom, cross rivers, benue? As dos states share boundary wit ur region... u hardly see it there not dat they r not there but dos places were not planned and designed to av kos dey dont av erosion problems. And also, ibos av houses in dos states I mentioned above and also oyo state, ow many of d houses built by d ibos in dos places r 5 storey building not dat dey don't build find houses but ow many r 5 storey building? Dey must follow d plan of each region. So pls and pls stop all dis tribal poo kos it's not helping. 3 Likes |

When did I start argue-ing about buildings, east versus west? You are mis-understanding me here. The base argument stil remains that ibadan city isn't the largest whilst lagos is. Am not from Lagos mind you. smiley001: A 4-5 storey building doesn't mean sophistication or modernity. @op, if ur father is still alive or ur grandpa ask him to tell u d story of nigeria and ow nigeria was planned according to each geo-zone. 1 Like |

Op: pls and pls stop comparing lagos to or wit ibadan and also wit no other state in Nigeria, abuja inclusive. Just compare lagos wit other African countries, lagos is a nation on or of its own. Lagos can stand as a country and it will survive, av been to so many developed/western countries so I know wot I'm saying but I'm a pure and pure ibadan boy 4/4. |

Only those who haven't stayed in ibadan will argue. Ibadan is so large that you can't drive round Ibadan in a day, i tried it once and I got so exhausted and i was told that I haven't even gone anywhere, mhen that city is so large and is developing very fast, anyone who is talking about mud or brown roof houses haven't been to Ibadan in the last ten years. On a day without traffic, its easy to drive round lagos, I once drove from TBS [on the Island] to Iyana Ipaja in 20mins on a saturday morning with no traffic which shows how small Lagos is, the trafffic in Lagos makes travel time very long which is deceptive in making people believe that Lagos is that big, with no traffic, you'll know how small Lagos is. In Ibadan, linking Iwo road alone is so long which shows how large the city is just ask people who travel to IIorin and other parts of south western Nigeria. I've been to major cities or towns in Nigeria, none is as large as Ibadan, those asking for Ibadan state are not stupid, this is a city with 11 LGA which can be subdivided again into 22 or 30 LGA. 7 Likes |

You can't travel the whole ibadan in a day? Do you mean the whole villages in ibadan or the developed part of ibadan? Even if you are travelling from Lagos to Maiduguri, it will take you 22hours by road, not even upto a day. Goke7: Only those who haven't stayed in ibadan will argue.

gbanikiti: You can't travel the whole ibadan in a day? Do you mean the whole villages in ibadan or the developed part of ibadan? why don't you try it first, and then come back to tell us your experience, definitely you've not been to Ibadan before and if you do perhaps you went to U.I and thought that was all about the city. Am talking about moving round the entire city and not travelling from lagos to maiduguri where you don't have to enter into most of the cities along the way. Ibadan for your information is highly developed as there is hardly anything you find in Lagos that you can't find in Ibadan apart from the beaches and water front. Many folks in Ibadan who get jobs in Lagos hardly relocate their families cos they can even give them better quality of life in Ibadan than Lagos. The population in Ibadan keeps rising of which would have been the opposite if the city was not developed so get your facts right. 2 Likes |

First federal university is UNN. College of ibadan was the first tertiary institution which was renamed UI in 1963. Shoprite built a massive mall at ibadan because of space and they acquired the land cheap. eighTHREAD: it is not the largest city in terms of population but it use to be ahead of lagos pre-independence.

jibsai: Well ...all the above is a baseless talk, if you wanna argue city/town I believe u should spend time to observe, u can't say "so I was ibadan" and think you are making any sensible point. In south korea(anywhere with 150k population becomes a city google that.) In the UK (a small place could be a city by right or special grant e.g lister city or hull city, u can't compare it to london or manchester..london city refers to the commercial hub of london alone and not the whole greater london which means london city is a borough council with a mayor and greater london has Lord mayor mind u dats how LG are broken down in the UK) Greater london is a county and london city, fulham, westminster with about 20+ borough council are LG within london nd they work as a cooperation google that too))) now u don't know ibadan so, lemme start ma counter argumentHe's just an olodo.

emmatok: Actually, ibadan has 11 local governments, 5 of the 11 lgas are referred t as the main city, but over the years a greater part of the remaining 6 lgas which used to be semi urban has metamorphosed to urban settlement. There are eleven (11) Local Governments in Ibadan Metropolitan area consisting of five urban local governments in the city and six semi-urban local governments in the less city. Local governments at present are institutions created by the military governments but recognised by the 1999 constitution and they are the third tiers of government in Nigeria. Local governments Councils consist of the Executive Arm made up of the Executive Chairman, the vice chairman, the secretary and the supervisory councilors.[7] |

red101: yea that's true. the answer will be different depending on whether you are talking about size of land mass vs population. Kind of thought tha's what 'largest' (=size) and 'most populated' (=population) distinctions are for (Not really aimin' at ya, just tossing it out there it really isn't all dat confusing even from the phrasing itself. Posters actin' like them two just got to be confounded ar bit missing there's already a difference in how the question's put.) |

Let me school you, and thank me later. University college of Ibadan founded in late 40's, was a satellite campus to university college of London, it was the first tertiary instituion (university) in nigeria but awarded London certificates. Now, the first Federal and indigenous university is UNN founded in 1960. UNN was the first to issue a Nigeria Degree Certificate. eighTHREAD: I think we yorubas need to stop reply this thread cos the OP is obviously silly. Don't mention me again. |
