These low self esteemed MFs have started again. Always painting that false picture of being successful yet you have many of them who are extremely wretched and living in squalor. They are everywhere on the internet self servicing about some phantom success. Them no go allow people hear word. Empty bragging from Twitter to Instagram to facebook to nairaland. They will start trouble and when you fire them ,they start crying about hate.

I think Mbaise and Owerri people too are doing well in housing.

I was wowed with the kind of massive well furnished houses I saw the last time I visited Imo State .

The entire south east states are growing so fast .

You’re missing the point...either deliberately or innocuously!

Bungalows and duplexes, when viewed in isolation from the bigger picture, may not mean much to a casual observer. But when placed in the proper context, like i did in the post you quoted, then one can begin to appreciate the effort and can-do spirit of the people that built their cities and towns based mainly on their singular effort and hard graft!

The presence of skycrapers in a city is largely determined by its place in the political-economy of a country, and also the leeway given to its inhabitants and administration to control its own affairs without first seeking approval from some faraway ‘lords’ and oligarchs who want to hold them down and who see the entire country as their property and war booty!

hahahaha!

Igbos are resourceful. granted.
their are many resourceful people from other tribes too.

who didn't build his house through hard graft or personal efforts?

The need to always 'show' how hard the Igbos work is sometimes unwarranted. they work for themselves I guess.

In any case, Igbo cities can only start witnessing construction of the skycrapers you mentioned only when there’s a true and comprehensive restructuring of the Nigerian political-economy, or when we’re truly independent and control our own economy and resources!
/
I beg to differ about the political angle.

The only thing stopping skyscrapers from popping up is electricity. Such houses need elevators. If uninterrupted electricity supply is guaranteed, the houses will start chasing the cloud.

You are comparing this with Ibadan, are you not ashamed? Onitcha by landmass is 52km square while Ibadan alone is 3,080km square by landmass. If you put all these your beautiful houses in Ibadan, it can not fill one local government in ibadan.

If you divide Ibadan by Onitcha i.e 3080/52 = 60; this implies you will see 60 Onitcha cities in 1 Ibadan. Beautiful houses are spread in Ibadan because of landmass while Onitcha houses are compacted in a small landmass area that can not fill half of one local government in Ibadan.

Out of 33 local governments in Oyo state, Ibadan alone has 11 local government areas. If you divide 60 by 11, you have approximately 6, it means Onitcha city as a whole can only fill 1/6th of a single local government in Ibadan.

Can you now see how funny you people are when comparing Onitcha with Ibadan? Google is your friend, you can do the calculation and research by yourself. Empty barrel makes loudest noise! And upon your empty noise, if you never reach that brown roof republic to hawk gala and hustle in multitude, you never reach your 'Obodo-oyinbo'


Oga, you're just being clever by half.
Ibadan city center has five local govts while Onitsha city center has two.

The other six local govts of Ibadan are not in the city center.
You can't bring them in as part of Ibadan for the sake of this comparison with Onitsha.

Honestly you are a daft! Do you think cities are rated based on how big they are? You rate cities based on how well planned they're, presence of essential amenities etc.
Can you compare Ibadan to Lagos/Abuja/PH? Mind you IB is bigger than all of them.
I live in Ibadan at the moment, IB is also a beautiful place to live and raise kids. Let's appreciate ourselves and free our hearts and minds from hate.

In ur mind now, u are making sense abi, inafct u are worse than daft, it is a senseless ful like u that drag Ibadan and lagos to the debate, u are guys really suffer from inferiority complex. It is a shame.

I think when people in ibadan started building houses and using the brown roof, nowhere in Igbo land was develop enough to use same but leaves cuz they lived in "huts"

"Huts" don't need a brown roof(kpan)...

The joke is on anybody thinking brown roof is some kinda abuse, instead it shows you guys just started building houses...


"Bi omo kekere ba ni " coloured roof" bi agba, ko le ni "brown roof" bi agba...

No be south west fault say East just dey develop, dey build house for 2020... Lol

That's because southwest was already living in houses with galvanized roofing sheets, while your grandparents were still typing wrapper, living in huts with thatched roofs to fight clan wars with cutlasses.

No, because your cities stopped growing and you lots can't renovate to save your lives. No maintenance culture. Most landlords in the east renovate every 10 years. And upgrade materials like zinc to aluminum. Why will you leave a zinc on for 60 years ? It will look so red and ugly. You have no shame .

Nothing is wrong. Europeans came to Africa for economic reasons and ended up colonizing us. Asia are doing same today so are Igbos.
