Why Is Lagos The Only Developed State In The South-west? by Antivirus92(m): 7:58pm On Feb 26, 2013
Unlike other regions in the country that have atleast 3 to 4 states developed. Even the poor north is more developed than the south-west. South-west only has LAGOS as the only developed state. Why is it like that? I need answers and not insults!

[size=20pt]There is no doubt that the South-East is among the least developed areas of the country – if not the very least – in terms of infrastructure, which is worsened by the virtual absence of federal projects in the region. This is one reason the Igbos of the South-East are scattered in all parts of Nigeria and the world where they contribute immeasurably to development, while their home region remains a backwater[/size]

fyi,south-east only lacks in federal projects because of descrimination. South east in general is more developed than south west in everything,human and natural. Again,even if south-east is heaven,igbos must surely travel out,it runs in their vein.

Lagos isnt the only developed state per se, but the fact is a huge number of swners are more used to the quietness and slower pace outside lagos.

Not everybody is comfortable with city life.

simply put it that lagos apart,all other sw states are slow in development due to many internal and external factors, not that the people like it that way.

If you're talking about development, we have;
Enugu
Onitsha
Owerri
Aba
Asaba
Port Harcourt


if you're talking of infrastructures then look at the bolded. Virtually every state in Igboland is special for something. It's only in Igboland that you find many other important city outside the capital city;

Abia - Aba
Anambra - Onitsha and Nnewi
Ebonyi - Afikpo
Enugu - Nsukka

And most interesting thing is that none of this cities was built with oil money except P.H which was built by its own resources. It's the hardwork of the Igbos that you can see here.

Abi ojare! That's the same plan they have for Lagos as far back as the 1940's but unfortunately (for them)

The yorubas ain't bulging from their vintage position. That also exonerates the sardunna of blessed memory who assert then

that wherever the ibos go, they would want to take over the place due to their greedy and ingratitude disposition.

This must explain why the northerners once in a while relieves their bodies of his/her obdurate heads just so they know who the

indigenes are and who the settlers are.

I'm too busy now to start educating junkerheads, so I would rather advice you to leave your house dustbin in Lagos/Ibadan and travel out.

Before I go on to reply you, please tell me the places you know in PH.

Talking of Biafra, you'll be very wrong refering Igbo as Biafra all alone. To tell you the truth, there are millions of Non-Igbos who are so passionate about Biafra and there are still millions of Igbos like myself who don't want Nigeria to divide, else South Africa alone will be the super powers of the continent for years before the most civilised broken part of Nigeria will come back to rival them. Nigeria is good as one.

Remember to answer my question.

Funny dude. Where exactly do u want to know in ph? Should we start from obigbo that has a huge concentration of igbos or what exactly? Anyway, am not interested in proving anything for u so if u have an opinion, u are free to share it.
Like I said, this issue has been thrashed severally. Say whatever, it doesn't make PH an igbo land. Period.

Even the Ijawman who hate to hear the word, "PH is Igbo", hundred times more than you Yorubas will tell you that PH is 50% Igbo and 50% Ijaw, but the truth is that 80% of PH land mass is based in Ikwerre land while 15% percent goes to the Okrikas and 5% goes to the Ogonis.
So visit P.H and see for yourself. You can't know everywhere in your bedroom.

If you've ever read about PH not to talk of being there, you'll know that PH was extended into local governments such as Okirika, Eleme and Obio/Akpor.
The main Port Harcourt City Local Government Area is an all Ikwerreland.
Ikwerreland comprises of four local governments; Ikwerre, Emohua, Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt Local government areas.
