South West have got more cites than south east.

Obviously cites in South East looks more classic and developed. .. .

Vilages/Towns in SE r actually civilized, with beautiful houses than SW.

Both regions have bad roads, and some disgraceful roofs especially SW.

That is my observation

I don't just argue for the sake of it, I provide irrefutable facts!

Yes, like I stated earlier, prior or during colonial era, Yorubas liked to live in nucleated settlements because of insecurity that pervaded the areas so they settled close to big rocks for protection. That was how Ibadan, Abeokuta etc grew and became cities.

However, in the East, there no need for such since the areas are mostly plain lands with dense forests and largely no rocks. So Igbos chose dispersed settlements. But from 1960's Igbos started moving to the market towns and administration centers.

Stop using books written during colonial times to judge the present, it can only give you unreliable data. That's the same mistake you also make by claiming that Yorubas are the most educated in Nigeria while using 1960 data but recent data shows that Igbos are the most educated.

Egbon, I get am before no be property o.
I quoted that source to let you know that history of Yoruba urbanization which is an important indicator of civilization predated colonial era.
By the grace of God I am a scholar of urban and regional planning for years now. Hence I can tell you there are over whelming validated data to support the findings.
South east people you may say migrates a lot. But they move outside their region mostly. All these are neocolonial trend.
In Urban studies we use standard criteria to assess classification of settlements and urbanization which is global best practice.
Hence I can tell you till date Yorubas are still leading city dwellers technically speaking. This is a great indicator of civilization because cites are centres of civilization.

when you come to urbanization in Nigeria, you give it to SE. . Because everywhere is just developing. . From onitsha to Awka to Enugu, then navigate southbound to Enugu Port Harcourt road down to pH, you will see clear definition of urbanization. . But this is not obtainable in SW

Lolz... Afonjas and imagination
Y not tell me the name of the estate as big as the one I mentioned above in Ibadan?

Anyway since you want us to start listing estate
Drop your list with website first (optional), and I will list the once in Enugu
Let's go!

As for the ph matter, you don't even need to doubt it, infact in next 10 years Aba will have more estate than Ibadan, cos the amount of estate been built Along ph/ABA Express road, replication of Lagos/ogun is currently happening btw Aba and pH the 2 cities are fast joining each other, with more companies building there factory and estate in Abia axis becose of cheaper taxes and expansion,(just use goggle map and view ph/Aba boundary)

Bodija is bigger than what Enugu has to offer and it’s almost the size of Owerri.

List the cities qualified to be called a city in SE and leave tori.
If we are going by south west standard
We will be having more than 30 cities in a state, cos south east is mostly built up and urbanized than any other region because it has has the highest population density (if you even no what that means)

In anambra we have, ekwulobia, obosi, Nkpor, oba, onistha, awka, nnewi, ihala
Imo has, owerri, orlu, okgiwe, oguta,
Abia has ohafia, umuahia, uturu, umudike, Aba, obehie, abiriba, igbere
Ebonyi has uburu, abakiliki, afikpo, ohazara, okposi
Enugu has Enugu, Nkanu, nsukka, Enugu ezike, agbani

SE is most urbanized in Nigeria due to her Size and the massive development in recent years!! The only urbanized state in SW is Lagos! Lagos is densely populated just like Anambra.

Because I thought we where talking about private housing estate, (estate built by private companies)
Anyway what's the landmass of bodjia?
