plezant: the 8th pic is near my ofis the 8th pic is near my ofis

tonychristopher: yesterday a Yoruba man was disappointed when he learnt that the shoprite that was located in Ibadan was about to be shot down because of low patronage due to low income,poverty and conservative mentality of that rusty old city. It was touted and joked that the Ibadan man can't comprehend why he should buy a price tag commodity while the shoprite that is located in Enugu there has been plans for expansion of the project. As an enlightened mind… what does this tell you. [/b]

Anvaller: Just a very few of these pictures are actually relevant when we are talking of developments. The problem with Nigerians is that we still do not know what development means. The OP posted several pictures of just a house that is well painted or a Bank building or just a random mansion that was probably built with stolen money and some hotels or estate with manicured gardens. He even showed pictures of Government houses. Now tell me, do all these things show that the cities are booming?

If u want to show booming places, lets see stuffs like tourist attraction that is well attended, or industrial terrains, or provision of infrastructure that massively benefits the masses irrespective of class. E.G a mass transit system like a tram or light rails. That's development. Or eradication of slums and replacing it with modern well planned housing projects targeted at at least the middle class and not the rich few. That is development. If u want to continue to show beautiful random pictures like these and say its development, then all states in Nigeria are booming.

spicyuzo: This OP is the presidential photographer.....Seeing the pics posted above, are we all supposed to jubilate that nigeria has arrived? Boom Boom BOOMB BOOOOOOM

securi: @tonychristopher, Ibadan is one of the cheapest place to live in Nigeria. Foodstuff and other things are so cheap and they are used to it moreover, they are conservative in nature, simple, not pretentious or showy and that is the reason. I am from Ibadan and I predicted it too and I am not surprised. Opening a Shoprite is not a developmental move and I dont see any big deal there. People want productive things not a thing that will drain their purse especially when there is even no big deal in what they sell or the prices.

Abagworo:

Don't believe what you read on Nairaland. There are rich people everywhere in Nigeria and there are as much opportunities. I legally made more than a million Dollars at 25 without having anything to do with Lagos. As we have Young Shall Grow in Lagos, so did we have ABC in Owerri, Ekenedilichukwu in Onitsha, Agofure in Benin, Chidiebere in Aba and so on. Ogbuawa is based in Nnewi and has always based there. I believe Rivers State has much higher middle class in ratio when compared with Lagos.

Evestar200: @OP,, all those pics u post as warri are not warri o,,those places are Uvwie,,so stop lieing here,,cuz Warri is a glorified village

Rossikk: People like u only see what u want to see, and always negative. That's the answer to your diatribe. I'm sure you saw "random mansions built with stolen money" in Onne port, Abuja's water treatment centre, and Ikot Ekpene's public parks, among other infrastructure depicted.
