the truth is without lagos in sw there is nothing more

BKayy:

Those ones na Cities?

Lol, Nigercity I've been to all those places and believe me apart from Offa in Kwara, they are what we call ancient villages in SE.

Or is it because of the new empty main road in Owo that it turned to a city?

Ndi mmadụ sef

Biafrarep:


Whenever you guys mention Lagos, I will just laugh. So Hausas or Gwaris will come out in 2050 and start claiming responsibility for Abuja?

So if Nigeria didn't make Lagos the federal capital, you all won't have any city of worth? Isn't it a shame that your so called cities are all rustic with dilapidated buildings and very narrow roads?

The rest of Nigeria has left SW behind yet you want to die on top Lagos. SMH.

RENOWNED2:
I heard somebody call illaro a city. Make una dey fear God for nairaland o.

If you do top 10, there will be 3 SW cities in top 3.

BKayy:

LOL.
It is either you like deceiving yourself or you are talking out of ignorance.
Anybody that have travelled round Nigeria must have noticed that when it comes to number of cities (Nigerian Standards) SE edges other regions out.
Coming to livable cities, SE still edges others out followed by SS then North before SW.

I am not talking for arguments and if you read everything I type here you won't see any reason to reply or challenge it.
Let me explain the difference for you.
What you call cities by Nigerian standards is what an average Igbo town has (working market, health care, basic amenities like schools etc)
Moving from the south to the North one notices something like moving from walled houses to those without walls.
SE and most parts of SS don't construct buildings without demarcating with walls and gates. This is not something you can see easily in SW or North (though unrelated in development but shows differences in living conditions and quality placed in where one lives)

Now let's go to sanitation and hygiene. I don't mean to insult some people but anyone that have visited or lived in different parts of Nigeria will know that SW in general place little or no importance on Personal hygiene.
Hygiene like building toilets and maintaining houses is something alien to SW and North.
In SW it is very difficult to see shops selling tissues especially in Ibadan because the people don't use it
Anybody that have lived in Ibadan will attest to the fact that is is very difficult to see houses with toilet. Though the North also fall for the same thing but in SE it is considered as a taboo. Other Nigerians visiting SE always say the people place too much importance on where they defecate.

If we are to be honest with ourselves and talk from what we say ourselves not media propaganda, SW and the North are no where near SE.
And also SW is no where near North in livable cities as well if we want to be honest with ourselves

Favour623:
lagos is the only place qualified to be called city in south west others are capital towns and glorified village

forgiveness:


Ibadan alone has more estate than any cities in Nigeria besides cities in Lagos and Abuja.

Keep fooling yourself.

abuja is for nigeria how ibadan is for oyo state and we are all nigerians,so forget the location .Abuja is not even a state

BKayy:

Brown roof estates you mean.

Please I am talking about where human beings can live

forgiveness:


I lived in SE for almost a decade. It’s where I saw 4 families share 3 bedrooms flat with only one toilet and bathroom.

They keep bucket to shi.t in their rooms.

This is very common.

BKayy:

All the things they call cities in SW cannot be called town in SE and what we call villages in SE is what they glorify as mega cities in SW.

You have to understand the difference between our standards and theirs.
Sometimes I blame our people for looking down on ourselves.

Look at this Akure below, if it was in SE would anybody call it a town talkless of City?
It is a capital oh, now imagine how all those things he listed would look like

BKayy:

Ibadan is not in SE my dear

forgiveness:


SE is where you have 3 or 4 deckings houses without water running in taps. One has to buy water and carry up to your flat.

Menhhhhhhh! Suffer Dey dis country ooooo.

forgiveness:

Keep fooling yourself.

forgiveness:


SE is where you get no electricity for days but get estimated billed. And you must pay by force by fire.

Menhhhhh! Me no gree ooooo

BKayy:

I don't think so.
SW might have more slums than SE not cities.

What you call Villages in SE is what they call Cities in SW except that the Villages in SE has more modern Houses than the cities in SW.

I am talking from what I saw with my two eyes not media propaganda.
As for the mythical creation. Which city did the Europeans create in Igboland? Apart from the role they played in Enugu as a regional Capital where else?

Is it Onitsha, Nnewi, Nkpor, Obosi, Awka etc that we are still watching as they are transforming into modern cities?
Or are we in Anambra for example "Europeans?"

Abagworo:


Igbos never saw any reason to live in concentrated settlements because we fought less wars and therefore needed less need for protection. We lived in villages that were densely populated but yet rural as we still have them today. Cities were introduced into Igboland by Europeans which is why Igbo cities look better planned than the ones in Yorubaland and Northern Nigeria. Let's put sentiments aside as living in cities is not better than living in rural areas

uthlaw:
I think say Ena wan move to Biafra....we all know Abuja is the capital of the country!

Nigercity:

Oga it's a very big lie
I onced believed this your rubbish lie
Untill I did my own research
Ph and Enugu have more housing estate than Ibadan, even in South West ogun has more estate than Ibadan
(Ibadan have more G.R.A yes but not estate)
Infact there is no estate in Ibadan as big as Enugu Centenary lifestyle and golf city,
If there's any tell me the landmass lemme compare
Ibadan is in the level of owerri in having estate, and with the ongoing think home idealogy going on in east, owerri will Soon over take Ibadan,

forgiveness:

BKayy:
