Ten Biggest and most beautiful cities in Igboland in no particular order. You may have heard Igboland is landlocked, erosion ravaged etc but nobody tells you Igboland is the most urbanized ethnic homeland not just in Nigeria but in Africa. Below are the top ten cities in Igboland. I'll start with Aba. Aba Aba is a great commercial, industrial, sports and entertainment city. It is one of the best planned cities in Nigeria. 33 Likes 6 Shares

Portharcourt Originally called Igweocha and nicknamed garden city because of its neatness, greenery and fine design, it has now become an oil hub with its numerous environmental shortcomings. Igweocha is still a great industrial, commercial, and entertainment city. 31 Likes 6 Shares

Quick facts Enugu was the first Nigerian city to join the 100 most resilient cities. Onitsha and Aba are among the best planned cities in Nigeria. Enugu, Portharcourt (and Kaduna) were founded (incorporated) by the British. Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi are the only prominent cities in Nigeria that are neither oil hubs nor capital cities. Enugu was incorporated in 1909 and Portharcourt in 1912 mainly as a port to export coal from Enugu. Onitsha hosts the oldest Anglican diocese in Nigeria, the diocese on the Niger, and the only Catholic basilica in Nigeria, the basilica of the most holy trinity.

Mindlog: The reason why most SW cities are rusty and dilapidated is due to multi-dimensional poverty. Most of those rusted roofs are obviously leaking yet they can't afford to change them talk less of building large number of decent houses. Enugu, Onitsha, Aba and P.H are also relatively old cities yet they continue to evolve and develop because the inhabitants are not dirt poor. 33 Likes 6 Shares |

The whole SE is 29k Oyo state alone is 28K land area. I really dont know what you guys are always trying to proof. All your major Cities you listed combined will be almost same size as Ibadan Noneroone: 10 Likes 4 Shares |

Error401: Nigeria's data is largely unreliable due to politicization of it. However, some things can easily be detected on face value. For instance, you don't need data before detecting that people in Ikoyi are relatively rich. You can see it in the type of houses they live, the cars they drive and their general high living standards. Now, contrast that with places like Mushin, where you can easily observe that the residents are poor. Same way, you can't compare the living standards in Oshogbo or any city in the SW (aside Lagos) to P.H. but you can compare P.H to Owerri or Enugu in terms of living standards. 29 Likes 8 Shares |

Error401: Poor education is really affecting you guys badly. What has landmass got to do with cities? Are you aware that the entire SW is about the same size with Niger state. Does it now mean Niger state is more developed? Meanwhile, Imo State has a bigger GDP than your big-for-nothing Oyo state. 37 Likes 8 Shares |
