manny4life: Seriously, my brothers, you guys need to quit this argument. Thank God that GEJ has called for SNC, the sooner this country breaks up, the better. It's time to think home and begin divesting in Lagos in particular, enough of this silly rants which has yielded unfounded lies and deceit. If they say Enugu is poor, ehhh na, so be it.

nobody is arguing dat enugu with a lower gdp is beta dan oyo with a higher gdp.

I don't trust data in Nigeria but at least we can make some assumptions. I believe Lagos GDP exceed $100billion and the GDP for most states are higher due to the same reason of huge informal sector. Oil producing states have more government spending than non oil states which raised their GDP but in whole HDI and GINI are better if computed on true stats.
Ibadan is a large city and it has many faces; the good, bad and ugly. There are many cities inside ibadan metropolitan area and some are as good as Lagos and some worse than many interior villages! Enugu is a much smaller city and more manageable and its easy to reckon as developing.
When you compare Oyo State and Enugu, its like comparing nigeria and Togo, oyo state obviously has a huge landmass and population and receives less than states with comparable size in federal funds.However we must admit that the state potentials have not been harnessed and its been in a huge bad political m$ess until lately. However, oyo state has ogbomoso, Oyo, Iseyin, Saki, Ibadan, igboho etc to take care of and that is a huge challenmge. Ogbomoso alone has population of about a million or more!
Enugu and Ibadan are two cities with different issues and inspite of a number of industries in Ibadan more will be needed to make for impressive developments.
Economic outputs of Ibadan is far higher than Enugu and ibadan is ancient, these cities are not in the same league.

I do not know what shanties you are referencing here but I do know that Nigeria itself is having more rural areas than urban and its urban slums are numerous.The question is to compare population and average economic well being. If I have to speak as a professional without the ubiqutous ethnocentric emotions often exhibited on this forum I think no city in Enugu state is as large,as Ibadan maybe even Ogbomoso. Taken that Enugu city is compact and largely new and better organized but you must remember that Ibadan was already a city in the 1880s and you do not expect all the houses built then to be of modern taste and beauty. Its got history behind it just like such cities as Kano, Ogbomoso, Osogbo etc. Many of Yoruba towns and cities are over a century and a half old and the intra-ethnic wars of the nineteen century destroyed or changed the shape and shades of many.
That taken, it is also imperative for you to key to the type of market and economy that can support a city of over 3 million people. Ibadan has industries albeit small compared to its status as a big city and its one of the highest net energy consumer in Nigeria may be between number 3 and 4. What does that tells you? that the city is vibrant. Ibadan also have its unfair share of poor people in millions and economically buoyant populace which are also in millions as so what are we talking about? its got both good and bad than Enugu.
I think object analysis of data should be a hallmark because many people come here to learn.
Re: Enugu Is One Of The Poorest States In Nigeria. by ketoprofen(m): 11:54pm On Oct 09, 2013
Mandarin, kano and Kaduna are ancient cities too but they don't have this Ibadan look.
Lagos is ancient too.
Even Enugu is ancient based on geography abi did God create d world in stages?

The whole of sw aside Lagos look like the devt was halted in the 1950s, so don't use Oyo is large to cover up the poverty there.


Again, u can't disprove the fact that Oyo igr is made by foreigners, this is visible from the socioeconomic status of d majority of d ppl.
Taking Onitsha or nnewi for eg or the Enugu in question, u wl discover t hat the enterprises belong to the Igbo or the indigenes but its not so in Oyo.
so, y will sb come and tell me Enugu is poor just from GDP whereas his own state is poorer.

There are people who can't afford beans everywhere. And by the way, the title of this thread is "Enugu is one of the Poorest States in NIGERIA."

Ibadan is much richer than Enugu, however Ibadan is not in Europe. It is still a Nigerian/African city. Of course it's not perfect. It just happens to be doing much better than Enugu.

Shut up ignoramus. The roofs over Venice aged same way the one in Ibadan too aged. They built their houses in Venice with stones and we built ours with mud. They had stones in excess and we had mud plentifully. While you were living in huts we were living in story buildings.

Heritage is what they call it, something totally strange to people lower in the evolutionary chain.

Being stuck at 1950 s stage due to poverty is ur heritage, I knew that long ago.

How many of ur politicians live in those heritage houses of urs? Am sure if ur status improve as a person, u will want better.

The only thing I know is that Enugu citizens are more affluent, Enugu looks expensive, more presentable than any Yoruba state and even the kyn borno.

Thank God Lagos was a capital and now cosmopolitan, if not, outsiders coming into Nig , seeing the shanties would have elevated the poverty rate of Nig to 96% .

That's y each day, they leave Yoruba lands and flock around in Lagos, playing touts and praying for another event of abandoned properties.
