Abagworo:

Why can't you believe? Forget about my issue with Chino. We disagreed because I wrote 3 years ago that Soludo was an opportunity lost by Anambra while Chino was in support of Obi. Chino is not a responsible man. Rather than counter my points, he resorted to making it seem like Imo vs Anambra just like his master Obi did when El-Rufai criticized his budget.

Omo_Tier1: Whoever compiled this list is a village champion!how can you say Akwa-Ibom is more developed than Edo? To even see Delta state on that list means the op really does not understand what development really is!

For all I care, the only state nearing anything called development in Nigeria is Lagos. Abuja comes closest but still years always from being a developed state. All others are glorified towns still developing.

Abagworo:

Forget about Nairaland stuffs, I know Onitsha well. My friends stay at the GRA which is cool but majority of Onitsha is like majority of Nigeria which is nothing to write home about.

Industries:

Lagos, Abia, Ogun, Anambra

Urbanization:

I think Anambra should be. 2nd to Lagos followed by Abia and Rivers.

ogahope: Ur statement is a sentimental statement. Delta State is developed. Becos dere are good roads nd oda infrastructures compared to Anambra State.

Yomieluv: I live in Lagos,but Lagos is over-hyped.only selected areas are developed in infrastructure wise,ie Island. There are some places not fit for human habitat,ie Orile,makoko etc.

Please,remove Lagos as number one from the list.

Nwa Anambra: u can begin by telling us ur state of origin,then i can take u frm there....FYI: Anambra has the best road network in d south-east.

asids55:

mumu!abeg tell us where else is developed again in nigeria..is it your state where it is only the state capital that boast of a single bridge?

Rossikk: The world has moved beyond open air markets which you take for "development". They are actually a sign of backwardness. Modern shopping malls are the current and future of retail. They also provide employment to thousands of people directly and indirectly, including high level formal employment for graduates and so on. States should build MORE of such facilities, and less open air markets vulnerable to filth, flies and hoodlums.

GeneralJ:

Just because Rivers state has the most gov't invesment doesn't mean anything, I still put lagos as first, because Lagos has the most urban areas, the largest skyscrapers and actually it has the most non-federal Gov't investment, just incase you want to add investment as part of the criteria..Lagos will be really close to being equal in terms of development with the whole of Nigeria if it was its own country.

Yomieluv: I live in Lagos,but Lagos is over-hyped.only selected areas are developed in infrastructure wise,ie Island. There are some places not fit for human habitat,ie Orile,makoko etc.

Chomzy19: Anambra has d best 3oad networks in d south East pls b4 spewing such poo, make inquiries cos u re showing off ur ignorance

Ucheosefoh: The only thing Akwa-Ibom can boast with is oil and natural gas which comes with refineries, more revenue 4rm FG. How many Akwa-Ibom piple are employed in the oil sector, Akwa-Ibom may have beta roads than Anambra but they dnt have more markets and industries than Anambra. Industries in Anambra are scatter in many towns in Anambra providing employments and means of income to Anambrans and piple from other state. Akwa-Ibom may have infrastructures like Airport, beta road network, man made tourism sites, beta hotels but how many of them are outside Uyo (u can prove me wrong). Any development that is not spread across many towns in a state that state shall not be included in this list. (I can still be prove wrong but know its my opinion and let nobody curse me for giving my opinion which may not be like by some piple)

Nwa Anambra: U can hlp urself by travelin around....apart frm a few federal roads dat re in bad shape,d state roads are in absolutely gud shape.

musiwa24: GeneralJ, rivers state is number 1. the oil installation are worth more than the lagos building. opic house in abeokuta was built for N1 billion..


Just one of the oil installation , some cost as much as $1 billions.. which is 160 of Opic houses..

count how many of such oil facilities in rivers.. it gives you 1600 opic skyscrappers in lagos, that look like this.. this is why river state is the state that carries the largest investment in nigeria.

asha 80: urbanisation does not mean development.i will rather live in a small town right in middle of forests that have quality schools,pipe borne clean water,constant electricity and good security,effecicient means of transporting goods and services in and out of the town rather than living in a big urban jungle.

baynix:



Ondo State?? LOL!! Oh.. You Mean Akure State?? Coz Dat's The Only Town Wiv Good Road Network In The State!!

Banku&Tilapia:

Ur penchant for stupidity is beyond measure but i don't blame u cuz its not ur fault dat u r a mumugerian. Nairaland is now a joke where clowns like u come to illustrate their buffoonery and tomfoonery. If u want people to take you seriously, next time try and authenticate any story you across wit facts. It seems common sense is a luxury in Nigeria. Always loud wit nuttin to show for.

Abagworo:

Ewet housing is cool. Very cool. Uyo is not really developed. The Governor just built roads and painted them.

abdulkayus: Hey dude, ur list is trash. D only develop states i will say are Lagos, Abuja and den maybe Kano.
All d Anambra, Akwa ibom, oyo, delta and Edo are still glorified town. Which malls dey Anambra. Anambra is overhyped abeg.

Emmadani: guy u dnt even knw wat u are sayin,dnt jugde wat u av not seen.Go to ikot abasi,ikot ekpene,abak,itu,eket al dis town as no difference wit d capital city,it is as developed or even more developed dan uyo....U ar talking trash.
