U r completely wrong dear. There is no place in this world that doesn't have village. Some call it autonomous community. Others call it diff names.
Even lagos has villages. All those local govt have villages. Go to ur secreteriate and ask. Ask ur granny.

When a town is developed, it becomes a city, a city comprises of town and villages while mega city like lagos comprises of diff developed local govts.

Abuja was once villages made up of gwari pple. In d next twenty or so yrs, u and I that were born in abuja will start claiming abujaite so also is lagos and othe mega cities of the world.
Gerrit?
U no do history for school or yoruba?

The above is the Igbo theory on villages. It is so in Igbo land because of the dispersed nature of settlement in the East.
There are marked borders even between individual houses how much more quarters. Hence, it is easy to refer to your individual quarters as villages.
You shouldn't stuff it down our throats.

Oftentimes, I get pissed off when Igbo peeps ask questions like:

"Do you travel to your village?"

"Where is your village in ... state?"

"And I'm like, heck, I don't come from a village!"

In Yoruba land, big towns and cities are made up of quarters NOT villages. Different quarters may have varied levels of development but we all defer to our town rather than our quarters and we do not discriminate. We don't call our quarters villages.
Also, we live in nucleated settlements such that there is NO border between one quarter and the other. This makes us one seamless town/city.
That's how Lagos and Ibadan became big cities. And many more are emerging.

Yoruba villages are autonomous and independent of any nearby towns or cities.

There are few Yoruba villagers!
