Is The South West Really That Bigger Than South East? by derealj(m): 12:48pm On Dec 03, 2017 |
There has been a lot of argument on the size of South west in relation to that of South East and some claim that Oyo alone is bigger than the whole south east. Let me say that someone people who make this claim in the west have never left Yorubaland but as An easterner who have traversed the east and to a large extent the west, I know how long I spent on the way. So let's make some comparisons from Google Map. From Lagos the southern most part of the west to Kishi the northern most part is 367km and takes 6hr 7mins to drive between the two. From Akwete the southern most part of the East to Ete the northern most part is 291km and takes 5hr 25mins to drive between them. From Lagos still the western most part of the west to Ifon the eastern most part is still 367km and it takes 5hr 4mins to drive thru them. From Ogbaru the western most part of the East to Iboko the eastern most part is 246km and takes 4hr 30mins to drive between the two points . So brethren the West might be bigger than the East but I don't think it's that much. 3 Likes

What I think happened was, that in the days of none or limited data, the Lagos-Ibadan press so much hyped the south west till everyone on both sides started to believe the lies about the large size of the SW in comparison to the size of the SE and SS. This same pattern played out in population census and figures. The SW will lie till the devil is shocked Thank God for the Internet and the way it has opened our eyes. 23 Likes |

Stress. By landmass, the entire SE will conveniently fit into Oyo state. The entire SW minus Lagos will enter Niger state. 36 Likes 4 Shares |

derealj:Are you educated at all? cos educated folks don't argue with fact. Check any info about those state and their landmass and you'll put your lame argument to rest. We have Igbo Geography professors of repute and they have never refute the landmass of the east, so who are you to argue against fact? 22 Likes 1 Share |
