You still dont get the point.
lol
RenaissanceGuy:
It's not the size of a city or country that determines whether it can be well-planned or not. Russia is at least 11 times the size of Nigeria; Canada is about 10 times the size of Nigeria, but they make sure that wherever people are living are well-planned, instead of allowing people to scatter buildings anyhow they like or build mud houses or use rusty roofs.

the oluyole you mentioned should be twice bigger than onitsha and akwa combined.
You haven’t mentioned Akobo,bodija,ologun eru,challenge,moniya,eleyele,Jericho,Apata,Akala express,Bashorun,Olorunda,Arulogun and the likes which are beautiful places and each are beautiful and each bigger than any of your cites.
It stupidity if you say Anambra is developed than Ibadan

Which bodija? Which challenge?

Which oluyole is bigger than Awka? With so many empty bushy spaces in oluyole? Oga others you mentioned are just specific areas in Ibadan. Onitsha and Awka have lots of them.

I've seen aerial photos of Ibadan...except for the flyovers and roundabouts, some towns here have better housings.

Threats and facts are two different things.
...like telling me to go tell Rotimi amaechi that "Amaechi" isn't an igbo name. He may or may not vent his anger on me, but doesn't mean Amaechi isn't an igbo name.

Portharcourt belongs to igbo~ west African court of appeal, 1958


It belongs to Igbo, but why are Igbos like you afraid of going to take it?


Is Rotimi Amaechi from Port Harcourt? Or is Rotimi also an Igbo name?

you are correct, don't forget that ibadan is the largest slum in the world full of mud houses and rustic brown roofs

Ibadan is more developed than the entire IDP camp called SE Igboland.

...but I think most of the towns in South West are older than these towns you mentioned. You can expect to see old architectural buildings around.



There is no state in south west that is older than Owerri, Onitsha and Aba.

Go and check these facts.

Ibadan is not as ancient as Onitsha,in fact Onitsha was founded three hundred years before almighty Ibadan.

To crown it all,Onistha was founded in 1550 that is 15th century ago while ibadan was founded in 1829 check the difference.

Owerri was founded in around 14th century that is,older than Onitsha,while Abeokuta was founded in 1830.

It also means,that Owerri is also older than Lagos with about 100years.

Check ur facts well. Under developing doesn't make these places ancient as u guys often
say.

Quick facts

Enugu was the first Nigerian city to join the 100 most resilient cities.

Onitsha and Aba are among the best planned cities in Nigeria.

Enugu, Portharcourt (and Kaduna) were founded (incorporated) by the British.

Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi are the only prominent cities in Nigeria that are neither oil hubs nor capital cities.

Enugu was incorporated in 1909 and Portharcourt in 1912 mainly as a port to export coal from Enugu.

Onitsha hosts the oldest Anglican diocese in Nigeria, the diocese on the Niger, and the only Catholic basilica in Nigeria, the basilica of the most holy trinity.

Check ur facts well,the first Anglican church also known as Ebube Niger in Onitsha was founded in 1857 which is far older than St stephens u just mentioned.

The oldest Catholic church in Nigeria is Arousa cathedral in Edo state, founded in 1517 century it located at the Obas Palace.

The second oldest is St Anthony Monastery founded in 1690. That is about 16 century ago in itsekiri Delta state.

Your sol called St stephens was founded in 1880.

Ikwerre migrated from Mbaise in Imo state, while "Okrika(in south tip of PH) are a mix race of Igbo and Ijaw.
But you people would want to call them pure Ijaw and hand them total ownership of PH.
You people are TOO DUPLICITOUS and PERFIDIOUS.

You are free to do your search about Ibadan.

Ibadan is massive and has some of the best places in Nigeria.
Ibadan is miles ahead of the entire southeast
Go and verify
