Exactly. Attached below are sections of Yaba in Lagos and has far more of the kind of buildings the Op is showing off as 'high-rise'. Both the Op and the person you quoted don't know what they are talking about.

Houses commonly have only one or two floors. Buildings are often classified as low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise according to how many levels they contain, but these categories are not well-defined. A single-storey house is often referred to, particularly in the United Kingdom, as a bungalow. The tallest skyscraper in the world, Burj Khalifa, has 163 floors.
The height of each storey is based on the ceiling height of the rooms plus the thickness of the floors between each pane. Generally this is around 14 feet (4.3 m) total; however, it varies widely from just under this figure to well over it. Storeys within a building need not be all the same height—often the lobby is taller, for example. Additionally, higher levels may have less floor area than the ones beneath them.

To some extent it's true.Most high rise buildings in Lagos are along the road.Abi they get another one.Majority of Lagos buildings are along the road,apart from areas in mainland,most inner lands are fallow especially in island area's,those that have buildings are mostly duplex.I believe individuals own more story buildings in Onitsha than Lagos.Before you start arguing,igbos control building materials market in Nigeria (look at dangote highest customer always igbos,tiles,paint etc).Why is it like that?,that's because igbos prefer building their houses anywhere they reside Lagos to Kano to Anambra they build story buildings for residents to reside as their investment.
it's clear u high on some cheap onitsha wees. You compare that village to Lagos. You drunkk. The economy of Lagos alone is three times larger than that of the whole South East. To an average igbo man Lagos to America to him. Ibadan is London. However which Yoruba man dreams if going to anyplace in the south east? Igggbos are purely opportunists and sooner their cup will be filled and they will pay for all their sins the way the Chinese will soon oay

IS IT NOT A SHAME THAT PEOPLE ARE SHOWING OFF HOW INDIVIDUALS BUILT AND DEVELOP ONITSHA FROM A VILLAGE.


AND THE BEST U CAN COME UP WITH IS LAGOS, THE FORMER CAPITAL OF NIGERIA UP UNTIL THE 1990s, WEN NIGERIA CAPITAL WAS MOVED TO ABUJA.


LAGOS AN AREA BUILT WITH THE COLLECTIVE WEALTH OF ALL NIGERIANS, ESPECIALLY THE OIL IN NIGERDELTA.


LAGOS HAS NEVER BEEN FOR YORUBA ALONE AND IT WILL NEVER BE SO NOT UNTIL NIGERIA IS DIVIDED.
Calabar and lokoja were once capitals. Look the advantage Calabar has today it cos it was a former capital. So why not go to Calabar? The ingenuity of the Yorubas has what has made Lagos and the British confirmed this. Ogun state alone will finish off that village called ananbea. Ibadan is a dream Land to most igbos

have you been to ogun state recently? Do you see the magic in Ibadan? That's why the yorubas are demanding for restructuring. Apart from London how many cities in England have the English been able to turn around as London? Cos they not Federal. Restructure Nigeria today and see the whole South weather transform magically. Today the gdp of ogun state alone is alone finishing off the whole if the south east. Nigerias music industry which is number one in Africa is controlled by the Yorubas. The banking industry number one in Africa. Look the Yorubas dont only control Nigeria the Yorubas control Africa. Go and fact check

There is nothing like ingenuity of Yoruba in Lagos, every country have commercial city, Lagos was fortunate, Lagos was former British colony, Nigerians and foreigners made Lagos, you can hardly point any of those highrises that's owned by Yorubas, majority are federal structures like, CBN, NSE, Former Nitel building, banks headquarters, corporate organisations etc, Yoruba Ingenuity can only be seen in Ibadan capital of western region.

the English ensured the Scottish never left the United Kingdom. Does that make the English man not ingenious? The Yorubas don't need the igbos. It's just that if the igbos leave and a civil war begins within Biafra the number of refugees the Yorubas will deal with would be something you don't want to think about. The average igbo man hates his fellow igbo man and that's a fact. Just look at that video of two igbo men in enugu who killed each other over their wives. Imagine

Calabar was seen as the first capital of Nigeria during British Colonial rule before it was moved to Lagos in 1906, before finally taken to Abuja in 1991.
