Amarabae:
than Ibadan.
I know Ibadan very well, its an ancient city allergic to modernity and urban renewal.

Just as Lagos is the commercial hub of Nigeria, the ancient city of Ibadan is the commercial hub of south-west Nigeria. It has a population of around 3.4 million people with a population growth rate of about 2.5% (NPC Census, 2006).
Being the former capital of the old Western regional government, it has remained a city of familiarity and leisure to most workers and entrepreneurs in Lagos.

Ibadan is the third largest metropolitan city in Nigeria, and also housed the first university in Nigeria, as a result of this its residents are a mixture of middle and lower income classes of household in the city.
The presence of many federal government institutions – most concentrated, and multinationals such as American-Nigerian Tobacco company, Saro Agro-Allied limited e.t.c tend to contribute to the market size of the city.
Ibadan is also the interchange city for travellers to all part of the country, thus making a first –stop for most Agricultural produce coming into the region.

Ibadan is an industrial hub and consumer based city. It being the first stop for major agricultural products indicates close of raw materials to these industrials while the demographic size of the city also indicates a high consumer base.

Let's looks at the size in relative to development.

Why is Akwa not as developed as Ibadan in terms of urban planning, industries, tech hubs, entertainment hub etc?

Look at the size of Akwa compared to the size of Ibadan

kn23h:
Is this what Ibos call development in a 120km2 area?

They can't even properly manage the poor dirty red mud uglifying the region

Why is everything red

Asin I'm really baffled.. The entire SE states combined is not up to one Yoruba state (Oyo) in size, yet they can't develop.

Just one Northern state is like ×3 the entire SE states combined. You do the maths and you'll feel sorry for them.
All they do is chestbeat and make useless noise upandan.

We are supposed to believe Wikipedia information edited everyday by jobless yoruba youths on the size and population of Nigerian cities?

You guys have so deceived the world through typing falsehoods in Wikipedia. Ogbomosho is more developed and more populated than Aba and Onitsha combined abi? keep fooling yourselves online. It changes nothing.

Kabiyesi,
Stop publishing half truths to deflect legitimate questions op asked.

We know the landmass of Nigerian states and we know the 5 southeastern states (29,525km²) are bigger than Oyo state.

We also know that Niger State is bigger than the Western Region.
If you added Lagos to Western Region, yet it's only very slightly bigger than Niger State.
Mind you, half of Lagos is water. If put only actual land mass of Lagos, Niger State is still bigger!

Now Face the facts and stop playing childish games!

Why is Awka not as developed as Ibadan in terms of urban planning, industries, tech hubs, entertainment hub etc?

Look at the size of Awka compared to the size of Ibadan

See how Yoruba boys type false information online.

Now we have a situation where Ibadan is as big as the entire landmass of Lagos state.

ok.ooo

See why Nigeria is such a laughing stock in the world?

Alariiwo:


Take a look at the Nigerian map and use field data and stats not some aerial map that shows nothing.

The SE is the smallest geopolitical zone in Nigeria whether you like it or not.

kn23h:
For such a small city [120km2], there is no urban planning.

Where are the industries?

Point out what is senseless on the post.

Is Awka small in size? Yes
Is it a tiny grain next to Ibadan? Yes

So why is it not developed?
