I HAVE BUSTED YOUR POPULATION DENSITY MYTH TOO

NOW READ AND LEARN

IGBOS DEFINITELY HAVE POPULATION DENSITY. IT IS A SIGN OF POVERTY AND BACKWARDNESS.

LET ME EXPLAIN IT TO YOU WITH AN ILLUSTRATION.


IMAGINE ABOUT 20 GUYS LIVING IN A SMALL ROOM NOT BIG ENOUGH TO BE CALLED A TOILET -- NOW THAT'S POPULATION DENSITY(IGBOLAND)

NOW IMAGINE 100 GUYS LIVING ON A COMPLEX THAT IS AS LARGE AS A STADIUM -- NOW THAT IS HIGH POPULATION WITHOUT DENSITY(YORUBALAND)

AND THIS MY FRIEND IS THE REASON WHY IGBOS KEEP TROOPING IN TO THE SOUTHWEST IN MILLIONS, YET WE STILL HAVE MORE SPACE.

CONSIDER THE FACT THAT OYO STATE ALONE IS LARGER THAN THE WHOLE OF ALL SOUTH EASTERN STATES COMBINED

basilo101:

this flawed analysis of number of modern houses in terms of land mass was what brought about my argument about population density. if consider population density as clearly shown in this map u will see that this peson is wrong. again, he is considering biggest cities alone, rural areas has more mansion in the east the east

^^^^

Yolobas always showing hotel, shop rite, airport, filling station, govt house any time issue of poor living conditions are discussed. How many average yoloba lives in those govt or commercial building?


Can u imagine human beings living in these kind of slum in this age and time?

Skyscraper & Highrise buildings

continue...

yoloba odabooo!

THE GUY POST SHOPPING COMPLEX IN IGBO LNAD THEY CALL AM MALL. NO WONDER E TALK SAY DEM PLENTY

NA ONLY SHOPPING COMPLEX DEM GET. SHOPRITE SEF STILL DEY CONSIDER THEM AND DSTV MALIGNED AND SIDELINED AND IGNORED THEM FOR MANY YEARS COS THEY ARE INCONSEQUENTIAL

compare that to the Ibadan video shot in 2015, emphasis on 2015.
And mind you, Aba is not the best city in SE, infact it is the least in the east due to the problems they had with good governor so it's even funny una compre your "biggest city in Africa" to the least organized city in East

Keep showing us refugee dumps

I spent several days in Ibadan last month. I can't wait to come back and visit.

First - Igboland is much bigger than SE states. IGbo land is not same as SE. IBB tried balkanizing Igboland with his geopolitical zones.

Secondly land mass is not everything. It is what you do with the land that matters
Germany is less than a third the size of Nigeria but can you compare Nigeria to Germany?
What is the GDP of Nigeria compared to Germany? Even South Korean GDP is bigger than Nigeria.
What is the productivity of Nigeria compared to serious countries?

Third - Rather than concentrate on how to build a modern secure nation state these people are here attacking themselves. I bet you there is not one working elevator up to 10 floors, nor underground rail, or even half functioning hospital or well equipped schools in all these Nigerian "cities" people are here bragging about.

We must move beyond this useless divisive rants

AJE HOUSE

I just wish all these Igbos could present skyline/ aerial view pictures of their States, cos we don't have any.

Until I see an aerial view of other places, I won't take any of them serious, we are blessed with Hills in Ibadan, that's why you all know what the view is like at a glance, and yes we've come to accept them, call us lazy for not upgrading, but remember we worked to build them, the buildings didn't grow.
For those trying to change the topic to most educated tribe, go ask anyone you know who has gone through NYSC the tribe that has the highest population in camp before threading that treacherous path.

@Vicadex07 where did u get that TIB picture from? *Thumbs up*
Here's a picture taken from Ferris wheel in Trans Amusement Park.

Igbo scholar disgraces Femi Fani-Kayode •Demolishes claims on Igbo/Yoruba history with facts and figures

By News Express on 17/08/2013


An Igbo scholar, Dr. Samuel Okafor, has made one-time Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, look so small and uneducated by using facts and figures to demolish the claims he made in the controversial August 8 article, “The Bitter Truth About The Igbo”, which set off a storm that almost threatened Igbo-Yoruba relations.

In the first part of an article entitled “The Lies of Femi Fani-Kayode”, Okafor, who has a First Class in History from the University of Nigeria Nsukka and then did a Ph.D in Nsukka on scholarship, dismissed Fani-Kayode as a “half-baked intellectual.” He then proceeded, point by point, to address what he termed “the most reckless amongst the tangle of reckless comments spewed by Femi, a character who with each punch of his keypad stresses his severely unwell conditions of logorrhoea, delusions of enlightenment, history and sociology – amongst others.”

Below are Okafor’s words:

FEMI AND HIS SEVERELY IGNORANT LIES:

•Femi Lies About the Yorubas Being Nigeria’s Earliest Graduates:

From his myopic bubble Femi FaniKayode claims the Yoruba were the first to acquire Western education; the first ever known record of a literate Nigerian in the English Language is the narrative of an Ibo slave who regained his freedom and documented his life history as a slave from the time he was 11 years old in present day Ibo land till the time when he gained his freedom in the middle of the 18 th century. He later married an English woman and had 3 children. He died in 1795.

Femi, a basic Google-research will do you good here; check out the name, Equanoh OLAODAH. Further Femi claims that the Yoruba were the first lawyers and doctors in Nigeria. This is again a big falsehood. The first Nigeria doctor was an Effik man Silas G. Dove who obtained a medical degree from France and returned to practise medicine in 1840 in Calabar. This fact can also be verified from historical medical records in Paris.

I would also ask that you google the name BLYDEN – Edward Wilmot BLYDEN – an educated son of free Ibo slaves who by the mid-19th century had acquired sound theological education. He was born in Saint Thomas in 1832. He is one of the founding missionaries that established the Archbishop Vining church in Ikeja. Before the next time you succumb to your long-running battle with logorrhoea, Femi please do some research.

What about the third president of a free Liberia – President J JRoyle – again, a man of Ibo descent. Please take some time to do some research so that we can discuss constructively. It is wrong to peddle lies to your people. It is academic fraud to knowingly misrepresent facts just to score cheap points with people who do not have the discipline to do research and accept anything you pour out simply because they say you are well educated. To again quote the great Nobel Prize Winner in Economics Joseph Stiglitz; Femi fits into the category of third rate students from first rate universities with an inflated sense of self-importance. Let’s go on!

Who was the first Nigerian Professor of Mathematics – an Ibo man – Professor Chike Obi – the man who solved Fermat’s Last Theorem. He was followed by another Ibo man, Professor James Ezeilo, Professor of Differentail Calculus and the founder of the Ezeilo Constant. Please do some research on this great Ibo man. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka and one of the founders of the Nigerian Mathematical Centre. Who was Nigeria’s first Professor of Histroy – Professor Kenneth Dike who published the first account of trade in Nigeria in pre-colonial times. He was also the first African Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan. Who was the first Professor of Microbiology – Professor Eni Njoku; he was also the first African Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos. Anatomy and Physiology – Professor Chike Edozien is an Asaba man and current Obi of Asaba. Who was the first Professor of Anatomy at the University College Ibadan? Who was the first Professor of Physics? Professor Okoye, who became a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1960. He was followed by the likes of Professor Alexander Anumalu who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics three times for his research in Intermediate Quantum Physics. He was also a founding member of the Nigerian Mathematical Centre. Nuclear Physics and Chemistry – again another Ibo man – Professor Frank Ndili who gained a Ph.D in his early ’20s at Cambridge Univesity in Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in the early ’60s. This young Asaba man had made a First Class in Physics and Mathematics at the then University College Ibadan in the early ’50s. First Professor of Statistics – Professor Adichie who’s research on Non-Parametric Statistics led to new areas in statistical research. What about the first Nigerian Professor of Medicine – Professor Kodilinye – he was appointed a Professor of Medicine at the University of London in 1952. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka after the war. What about Astronomy – again another Ibo man was the first Professor of Astronomy – please, look up Professor Ntukoju – he was the first to earn a double Ph.D in Astronomy and Mathematics.

Let’s go to the Social Sciences – Demography and statistical research into population studies – again another Ibo man – Professor Okonjo who set up the first Centre for Population Research in Ibadan in the early ’60s. A double Ph.D in Mathematics and Economics. Philosophy – Professor G D Okafor, who became a Professor of Philosophy at the Amherst College USA in 1953. Economics – Dr. Pius Okigbo who became a visiting scholar and Professor of Economics at the University of London in 1954. He is also the first Nigerian Ph.D in Economics. Theology and theological research – Professor Njoku who became the first Nigerian to earn a Ph.D in Theology from Queens University Belfast in Ireland. He was appointed a Professor of Theology at the University College Zambia in 1952.

I am still conducting research in areas such as Geography where it seems a Yoruba man, Professor Mabogunje, was the first Professor. I also am conducting research into who was the first Nigerian Professor of English, Theatre Arts, Languages, Business and Education, Law and Engineering, Computer Technology, etc. Nigerians need to be told the truth and not let the lies that Femi Fani-Kayode has been selling to some ignorant Yoruba who feel that to be the first to see the white man and interact with him means that you are way ahead of other groups. The Ibo as The great Achebe said had within a span of 40 years bridged the gap and even surpassed the Yoruba in education by the ’60s. Many a Yoruba people perpetually indulge in self-deceit: that they were the first to go to school; to be exposed to Western education; that they are academically ahead of other Nigerian cultures of peoples. Another ignorant lie.

As far back as 1495 the Benin Empire maintained a diplomatic presence in Portugal. This strategic relationship did not just stop at a mere mission but extended to areas such as education. Scores of young Benin men were sent out to Portugal to study and lots of them came back with advanced degrees in Medicine, Law and Portuguese Language, to name a few.

Indeed, some went with their Yoruba and Ibo slaves who served the sons of the Benin nobility while they studied in Portugal. These are facts that can be verified by the logs kept by ship owners in Portugal from 1494 to 1830. It is kept at the Portuguese Museum of Geographic History in Lisbon.

Why then would several Yoruba people peddle all these falsehoods to show that they are ahead educationally in Nigeria? The true facts from the Federal Office of Statistics on education tell otherwise, showing that 3 Ibo states for the past 12 years have constantly had the largest number of graduates in the country, producing more graduates than Ondo, Osun, Ekiti and Oyo states. These eastern states are Imo, Anambra and Abia. Yet he calls Ibos traders. Indeed, the Igbos dominate because excellence dominates mediocrity – truth.

Let me enlighten this falsehood’s mouthpiece even further: before the civil war Ibos controlled and dominated all institutions in the formal sector in Nigeria from the universities to the police to the military to politics:

•The first Black Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan was an Ibo man

•The first Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos was an Ibo man

•The first Nigerian Rector of the then Yaba College of Technology was also an Ibo man

•The police was run by an Ibo IG

•The military as a professional institution was also run by elite-ilk Ibos.

Facts can never be hidden. To be first does not mean you would win the race; let us open up all our institutions and may the best man win. Let us not depend on handouts or privileges but on heard work. Let us compete and give the best positions to our brightest – be it Ibo, Yourba or Fulani, and then we shall see who is the most successful Nigerian.

I find it difficult not to respond to some of these long-held lies that are constantly being peddled by Yorubas. One is that the Yoruba have the largest number of professors in the country. I would again ask that we stick to facts and statistical records. The Nigerian Universities Commission has a record of the state with the largest number of professors on their records and as at 2010 that state is Imo State followed by Ondo State and then Anambra State; the next state is Ekiti and then Delta before Kwara State. I am sure you Yorubas are surprised. When you sit in the South-West do not think others are sleeping but I wish to address another historical fact and that is who were the first Nigerians to receive Western education. It is important that these issues be examined in their historical context and evidence through research be presented for all to examine.

I have continued my research for as the great sociologist and father of modern sociology – Emile Durkheim – put it, the definition of a situation is real in its consequence . What this simply means is that one must never allow a perceived falsehood to become one’s reality and by extension individuals who accept a defined position act as though the situation is real and apply themselves in that narrowly defined perspective.

Why is this important to state it is because for long the Yoruba have peddled lies that have almost become accepted as the truth by other Nigerians but it is important that we lay down the facts for others to examine and come to their own conclusion for facts are facts. Let’s go back to education. Historically, Western education resulted as a product of indigenous ethnic groups interacting with the whites through trade. The dominant groups sold slaves, ivory gold and a host of other products to their European counterparts in exchange for finished goods – wine, tobacco, mirrors, etc.

The Bini who were the dominant military force from the 15th to the 19th century raided and sold other ethnicities to the Europeans. Top on the list of those they sold were the Yoruba, Ibo and Igala. Various other ethnicities suffered as a result of the Bini military expansion. And the Benin Kingdom stretched from present-day Benin up to what is now geographically referred to as Republic of Togo. Indeed, the influence of the Benin Empire extended to the banks of the river Niger to present-day Onistha. There are huge Yoruba settlements in the Anioma part of Delta State who fled Yoruba land as a result of these attacks and constant raids. Yes, there are Yoruba people who are currently living with Ibos in the Ibo-speaking part of Delta and they are full citizens of the place no one refers to them as strangers and there is no talk about the Ibos being the host community like we hear from the Governor of Lagos State. But let me return to research. Slaves were moved from the hinterland to the coast and many were sold through Eko to the New World. These slaves were the first to encounter the Europeans and by extension their way of life – this included education in a Western sense. The Bini King had taken pains to establish a diplomatic presence in Portugal and the relationship developed into areas that extended beyond trade in the late 15th century and lasted well into the early 19th century. Scores of young Bpni youth were sent to Portugal and studied there, coming back with advanced degrees in various disciplines. The next set of people to receive Western education were the slaves themselves. Some of them managed to buy their freedom and develop themselves further.

For the Ibo it does not matter who your father is; the question is: Who are you? Who was Obasanjo’s father? Was he the most educated Nigerian? I am sure the answer is no. Yet this Great Nigeria led this nation two times as a military Head of State and as a civilian President. What about GEJ? Who was his own father? Was he the first Nigerian to go to London? The answer is no. In fact, he had no shoes, yet he is fully in charge. So it does not matter if your father was the first Lawyer or first Doctor in Nigeria but rather what matters is what an individual does with the talents the Almighty has given to him. Let us open up Nigeria for competition. That is the solution to our problems. Those who want privileges keep reminding us that their fathers were the first to go to school in London. Every generation produces its own leaders and champions. Like Dangote who is the biggest employer of labour in Nigeria today and the richest man in Africa. Was his father the first to go to study in London? Yet he is the master of people whose parents gave them the best. My brothers, the answer to the Nigerian problem is that we should establish a merit-driven society. “I get am before” no be

@ Opiaoku, can you please state the location you took the picture of the place they use canoes and the second picture in your last post or links to the website you downloaded the pictures.
Thanks

vicadex07:


Lol....that's virtually impossible.

Oyo state land mass alone - 28,454 km2


Abia state land mass - 6,320 km2
Anambra state land mass - 4,844 km2
Enugu state land mass - 7,161 km2
Ebonyi state land mass - 5,533 km2
Imo state land mass - 5,530 km2

All the Total Land area of South Eastern States barely measure up to Oyo state alone, so tell me, were those buildings built in the air or on water.

Hence this:

Match all the modern houses in the biggest city in all geopolitical zones across the country with those in Ibadan, when the houses in those cities finish, the remaining modern houses in Ibadan WILL still be more than those in the next two biggest cities. Fact!

Now I see why foolishness isnt a big issue for pple of ur type.
so with your analysis..Africa should have more nice and modern buildings dan Europe...wahala dey ooo

Yet your brothers flock in to Yorubaland in their millions to find their daily bread. If I call you imbeciIe now, I will be insulting imbeciles all over the world. You're worst than an imbeciIe.

Flock to Yoruba land for free cash or food? funny people!!! they flock there, buy ur land, build nice houses and u d mango head collect money from dem as Omoile and tommorow u want dem to get drownd. Lazy pple!! running to Europe/London for greener pasture or wat did you say.? London where you pple are very well known for criminality. I guess Abdul Mutallab was from Kenya!! anu mpam!!

Rapture007:

Now I see why foolishness isnt a big issue for pple of ur type.
so with your analysis..Africa should have more nice and modern buildings dan Europe...wahala dey ooo

LOL...YOURE SO DAFT. HOW CAN YOU COMPARE EUROPE TO IBOLAND AND AFRICA TO YORUBALAND WHEN FACT STATES OTHERWISE.

READ MY OPENING POST WELL. IBADAN WAS AN ALREADY DEVELOPED CITY PRE INDEPENDECE ERA WITH MANY FIRSTS IN ACCOMPLISHMENTS WHICH THE IGBOS CAN NEVER MEASURE UP TILL DATE LIKE COCOA HOUSE AND FEMI JOHNSON GLASS HOUSE COMPLEX.

SO NEXT TIME, COMPARE SOUTHWEST TO EUROPE AND SOUTH EAST TO AFRICA, I DONT CARE ABOUT LANDMASS IN THIS INSTANCE COS IT IS EVEN AN ADDED ADVANTAGE TO US

I think people need to understand that a city being old and rustic doesn't mean it is backwards. I have been to a few places in Europe that are very old and have been well preserved. I'm talking places with buildings constructed in the 1800's and early 1900's with narrow cobblestoned streets that can only take one car at a time. Much hasn't changed from what one can see. They have only been well maintained, and the citizens take pride in the heritage of their cities or towns. They've been able to marry old with new in the same city.

What Ibadan needs isn't a change of it brown, rustic roofs, but more cleanliness general around the city. This is not peculiar to Ibadan alone but most cities and towns in Nigeria. Cleaner roads, a more organised flow of human and vehicular traffic, proper transportation. That is what Ibadan needs and it can even become a tourist destination because it has many important landmarks and a rich history.

As for those talking about poverty, I don't know what they are talking about. Poverty is everywhere in Nigeria. From Lagos to Kano, Aba, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Owerri, Maiduguri, Warri, everywhere. I don't know where we get this idea that poverty is only peculiar to one tribe. Seriously? Don't we follow the statistics? Can't we see it all around us? Come on.

emmatok:


Leave them,

Some of them don't know that Ibadan city alone(not the whole Oyo state.) is almost the size of the whole Lagos state.

And that means Ibadan city has more nice/modern buildings than Lagos? Now i can comfortably add d world sophisticated to ur level of ignorance and foolishness.

PAINMENT . I GUESS IGBOS BUILT ALL THESE TOO FOR US. THEY MUST BE OUR SLAVES FOR HELPING US WITH THE HARDWORK

And that means Ibadan city has more nice/modern buildings than Lagos? Now i can comfortably add d world sophisticated to ur level of ignorance and foolishness.

I NEVER CONSIDERED THREADING THAT PATH WITH THEM, BUT IMMEDIATELY I UPLOADED MY POST, I WAS ATTACKED FROM ALL ANGLES BY THOSE GUYS LIKE A PACK OF WILD DOGS.

WELL, I GAVE IT TO THEM JUST AS HARD, IF NOT HARDER AND MOST OF THEM FLED EXCEPT FOR THE RABID ONES LIKE OPIAKU AND MENABADOO
