Shut up your poo.. There are no Igbos in yolobarland except Lagos which is a no man's land and FG enclave.. The reason you cannot find Igbos in yolobarland is that Igbos do not live in mud house because rural areas as ibadan, abeokuta, oshogbo etc were all built 100% with red earth mud and rustuc zinc.. 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. |

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 argumentGod bless you, dhammyg for sharing. Bro, don't mind d OP. He's ignorant. Good morning, my Ibadan peeps. 8 Likes 1 Share |

gbanikiti: So, I went to ibadan to see its holds, all they got is 2 tertiary institution, a mini-zoo, a mini-museum, hotels, banks and one old cocoa house. I doubt if its a city or town. Right now, some cities like owerri, port harcourt et al are all ahead of ibadan. I strongly think Lagos is the largest city. I stand to be corrected though. But if its deduced by landmass, kano and kaduna should take the slot.

O just stumbled upon this and i am glad.. To cut the long story shut.. Ibadan, the capital of Oyo was the biggest city in West Africa.. But not anymore, Ibadan is a capital but Lagos as a state has completely become urbanized, thus the largest 'city' in Africa. In fact, Lagos can no longer be considered a city, Lagos is now a Megapolis. (this means, the urbanization of lagos now spreading to other states like ogun).. My Igbo brothers should know that the west was closer to the Atlantic Ocean and became westernized before us in the east. But do not be discouraged, we once had the largest market in west Africa, which is Onitsha Main market. However after the war, the thriving east came to a halt. However, cities like Enugu, Owerri, Aba, Onitsha, are still one of the largest in Nigeria.. Again, apart from the capitalization of Lagos, Igbos played and still playing a huge part in urbanizing Lagos. As an urban planner, opening the south southern sea ports will help in decongesting the already overpopulated Lagos and further foster urbanization of the neglected south southern and south eastern regions.. |
