You are not far from the truth, for real, there are many companies in Ibadan, I once argued with someone about this, but I was disproved of my assertions when we visited only Oluyole Estate.

Paul John:

1. Lagos(special consideration been the old FCT)
2. Rivers(Oil)
3. Delta(oil)
4. Oyo, Ibadan(productivity & industrialization without any special consideration from the top government)

Haters, bad belles think again.

Biafra rep: Are you for real? Please i will like to know the companies/industries that are located in Ibadan if you are!

1forall: I wager many of these haters haven't even been to Ibadan city before.

I no blame them na wetin dem dey see for express. I had many of their type as friends while studying in Ife - Lagos boys whose only knowledge of Ibadan was what they saw between the toll gate and Iwo Road, on their to Ife from Lagos. When we started attending parties in Ibadan, actually going into town, UI (esp Queens/Idia ) and visiting other cool places, these guys begin talk another story oh, na to find any excuse to go to Ib from Ife whether na rave oh, houseparty oh or even boredom. So I won't blame the ignoramuses.
I can only imagine what Ibadan would be like if Oyo State could have a governor in Fashola's mould.

demmy:

You're ignorant. Historically this has never served you.

demmy:

You get a life you tribal warlord. Why can't you just be happy that different parts of Nigeria are finally enjoying progress after years of incompetent governments?? We are happy for you and your industrialized East but you're bitter because Ibadan is finally moving forward Why

Biafra rep: Can you simply answer the question posed to you and stop being daft!

ngozievergreen:

far be it from me to be bitter about anything in d west,both good and bad. Am inert. Or wat points can u use to support ur allegations? None. U see, i only write on dese threads only when yoruba ppl see a plain thread but will like to add something eastern to it. Read d posts above u will see dat your brodas started n always start d tribalistic rubbish. N dont misunderstand me again, u hear?

demmy:

Yet not "inert" enough to prevent you from putting your mouth to this southwest topic. Can you say inferiority complex!!!

Paul John:

May be you visit oluyole estate to understand how industrious Ibadan is. Believe me, the whole thing you call industry In your Enugu is not up to half of what's in IB. Wonder why she's the fourth most productive state in the federation, behind Lagos, Rivers(oil) and Delta(Oil)

Biafra rep: height of mischeif! Why did you remove Imo? What is the difference btw Oyo and Imo, with all the industries, population and what have you in Oyo?

ngozievergreen:
an easterner cant feel inferior to any oda person in Nig,so dont impose dt one on me. Again, u mustnt reply my posts.
My only point on dis thread(since u are too blind to see) is dat its unecessary to link wat financial times said to d east,dat d easterners r nt d source of ur problems. Period. Ur brodas started dis. N bragging abt industries in d west is nothing, yorubas dont own much dere. Aside d foreigners, igbos r next(agree if u r nt dumb). Come to d east n see what indigenous industries are.we r talkin abt car assemblies n u are stl on foam n plastics wch is nothing here. Stop making me laf. N dont reply me cos i wont send.

veraponpo:
The reality you dont want to face is that Ibadan is not in the class of any eastern cities. Ibadan is well industrialized I believe after Lagos and Ogun or better than Ogun state but far better than any Eastern state. It is big, With over 3 milion people
It is a good market for Foreign direct investment, small scale companies as well as agriculture. If you dont like Ibadan, you can go and hug power plant.

tomakint:

I don't intend to join issues with you, have you been to any major cities in the eastern part before?

demmy:

Ignorant troll, the city have three industrial estates. What do you suppose they are doing there? What do you supposed over 3 million residents are doing Despite the neglect Ibadan still remains the publishing center in Nigeria. There are industries in confectionaries, edible-oil processing plants, soft drinks, bottling and food factories, feed mills, tobacco factory and flour mills, sawmills, paper mills, foam products, concrete poles and block making, chemicals, paints and petroleum oil depot.

Stay ignorant and Confused.

Andre Uweh:
They hardly step out of their natural habitat.

dayokanu:

Because Imo is not in Top 4

Are you the mouth piece for the east?

Black Buddha: Ibadan has got potentials, of that there is no doubt. I mean, do we even need "financial times" to tell us that. If anything, that city is very big plus it's got an equally large population(3 million) to match. And what is more, for a city of that size its very safe; what else do investors look for.
Someone was even comparing IB to some cities in the SE. Its obvious u guys don't know how big the city really is. I can bet its has big as some states(no pun intended).

dayokanu:

He is Yibhoe as well, He is the same as Andre Uweh.

Most of the comment of Tomakint are always quoted or liked by his other ID andre Uweh. He thinks he is Yoruba because he attended University of Ibadan and can speak basic Yoruba

tomakint:
...and in what way has my post made me one? Just asking and I need your response asap!

Biafra rep: 3 million people indeed, when you remove the 2.9 million slum dwellers, with very little purchasing power, actually around 50 cents a day, then you know that you have no market at all, except the investor wants to produce ewedu and gbegiri.

IYA NGBALI: If you are living in Ibadan,eating our food,drinking our water,breathing our air,walking on our soil and you come here to abuse us and the town,may you not take home anything you make in Ibadan.

Biafra rep: You sound so unintelligent. I asked you to name the manufacturing industries located in Ibadan but instead of doing so, you went about yapping like a child. I want names not bland statements like block industries and pure water factories! What nonsense, are you a kid?

Josh090:
It's not about this thread really, it's just that you are mostly pro Igbo (which is not bad in itself) but you always claim Yoruba, it doesn't match.
