Oluyole area which i see as one of the most beautiful areas in Ibadan is bigger than onitsha town
An area oo

The Chinese are in their thousands in Nigeria.😂

Nigeria is better than China that’s why they migrated….very sophisticated and smart Yoruba man😂😂

. The Chinese hardly come to Nigeria with their families besides their presence in Nigeria is strictly business. They serve as agents for goods produced in their home country. The Ibos in Lagos come to make a life in Lagos. They don't produce what they are selling in most cases as they import them. Infact their economic activity is not exactly beneficial to the economy of both the region they reside in as well as the country at large.

Last year when I was in Lagos,my friend would beg me to send 700 naira to his wife to cook “Soup”
I was always suprised because in igboland even Okporoko costs more than that

When you read what these igbos write online, I understand why some yorubas see them as duplicitous.
Haba!
Is it not the same igbos we know on our streets?
The ones we went to secondary and university with?
Or another Igbo?
You see them in remotest villages with their families doing menial jobs
where me a Yoruba can't even live
But they will be here forming billionaires, forming landlords
So pathetic!

Alaigbo:
Is that your friend or hopeless Igbo father selling fan yogo ?!

there is Dignity in selling fan yogo than selling human skull and parts

Story. As at 2022, I made POS withdrawal in Owo, Ondo state for a fee of 10 naira

expecting sense from igbo is like expecting airplane in a seaport

Where did u withdraw using 10 naira

U igbos are bad liars

U can’t even lie honorably

I am telling you how much the average Yoruba soups costs
Just make stew,with that same stew they will eat rice,eat egusi,ewedu and efo

This should show you I am not making these up

FatherOfJesus:
The dick measurement between southeast and southwest is not new to anyone here in nairaland and as someone who has toured both regions extensively, I have some observations to make so both parties can relate to it.
Kindly note that in this analysis, I'm not including Lagos state, Lagos is miles ahead of any state in southeast or southwest, hence I will focus more on the other 5 states in southwest.

1. Foreign large-scale Industrialization:
My observation is that southwest is more industrialized that southeast in general, particularly the states of Oyo nd Ogun hold more industries than any state in southeast. However, states like Abia, Anambra and Enugu are more industrialized than Osun, Ekiti and Ondo.

2. Local industrialization:
There's seem to be more of industries that are locally owned in southeast than southwest, particularly in Anambra and Abia. However, in Ogun nd Oyo, many local production are also taking place.

3. Agriculture:
Southwest is far ahead of southeast when it comes to agricultural production including livestocks etc. I'm of the knowledge that southeast is more of a consumer market when it comes to agriculture except from Local rice production happening in Ebonyi state.

4. Standard of living:
I will give this to southeast, southeastern usually don't like living in rickette and old looking houses as much as people from southwest. It is why when you look at the landscape of a town from southeast compared to that of southwest, southeast will most likely look better. Southeasterner invest a lot in buildings than southwest.

5. Commerce:
We have more commercial activity in southeast than southwest, Abia and Anambra are more commercialized than any state in southwest. This is not to say that Oyo and Ogun are not doing well here as well. After Lagos and probably Kano, no state in Nigeria compares to Abia and Anambra when it comes to commercial activity.

6. Federal government presence:
Southwest has more federal government impact than southeast. Southeasterner seem to be more independent of the government in whatever they do.


This is a decent overview and it should help us reach a common ground on this dick measurement.

Oyo is not more industrialized than Anambra or Abia. The biscuits factory, BAT, and now proctor and Gamble factories have all shut down. Only greater Lagos (including boundary areas with Ogun state) is industrialized than Abia and Anambra. That's a fact!

If not for Lagos, Ogun would have been as dead as Osun, Ekiti and the rest.

Igbos invest in decent housing simply because they have more disposable income and thus richer per capita than yorubas. I have not seen rich or even comfortable people living in slums. It's poor and wretched people that live in slums. All over SE cities, be it Onitsha, Aba, Enugu, Owerri etc. majority of the residents live in modern flats where they pay from 350,000 and above! Poor people can't afford that in Nigeria! However, compare with SW where majority live in slums and derelict shanties. If majority of their people are comfortable just like Igbos, they won't live in such deplorable conditions and that's simple logic!

Nonny95:


Is Nigeria or Africa better than China?

Lmao. Go and tell this to the Chinese.

Your god has been jumping from one country to another looking for investors. But your fellow country man coming to your state for business is now an issue. You be Mûmu

. Oga it's not the same thing. The Chinese in Nigeria or Lagos are they trying to be governor or looking for political positions reserved for indigenes If Ibos come to Lagos for strictly business the issues in the last election will not arise . You have your region of the country that belongs to you yet you migrate to another person's region and start struggling political positions with them ! Oga tell your people to face their business while in Lagos just like the Chinese. They can go to their region and play politics

itsIYKE:
What about the Igbo women leading in tech, or you can’t see them?🙂
You will be fine

Do you see us focusing on the okporoko and garri sellers leaving the ones in tech as if they don't exist?

Unlike you igbos who are always focusing on agbo sellers as if that's all there is to Yoruba women

Can you see the difference now?
I hope hate will allow you see it sha😂

In real life, we see them complaining, blaming their woes and hunger on yoruba for voting Tinubu despite the fact that millions like me didn't vote for him

But online, they are very rich, they don't even know what hunger is
Some are even boasting they will stop giving money (money they don't have o) to the yorubas 😂😂😂

If you want to really know who they are, go to twitter and instagram, you will see them begging for as little as #1k
You know, they will drop their acct Nos😂

Oluyole area which i see as one of the most beautiful areas in Ibadan is bigger than onitsha town
An area oo

One funny thing about yorubas is how they lie to themselves and also believe it. Most of you reason without common sense and it can be quite disturbing. You claim oluyole area is bigger than Onitsha, yet reputable global rating agencies keeps reporting that greater Onitsha is the most built up area in Nigeria after Lagos. You think littering everywhere with shanties while Igbos build blocks of 5 stories stretching as far as the eyes can see, makes your city huge?

You people are utterly deluded with a touch of narcissism.

You yorubas know next to nothing about economics. Why should Igbos remain in their region and compete with each other when the world is big enough to exploit? Traveling out is even the basic reason why Igboland both in SE and SS has the highest standard of living in Nigeria. Do you even understand the power of remittances?

Majority of the houses you see being built in Igboland is through remittances. Houses, schools etc too. Igbos have locked down their capital by ensuing there is no capital flight while at the same time sending huge remittances to their region. With more factories being built in the region by Igbos, profits and capital remain at home unlike SW.

itsIYKE:


Oga Zuzout from here

Standard of living in the east is way ahead of what is is in the west, Igbo people coming to do business in Lagos is what you interpret as “Flocking”, where ever there is an opportunity for business the Igbo man will be there even if it be the devils backyard.

Land is expensive in the east because of high demand, when you have a high number of indigenes with a serious purchasing power that is what you get, simple economics, rotten dilapidated villages littered all over the southwest is of no use to anybody reason real estate goes for Pennies

There the dimwit goes again using landmass to beat chest, the whole of southwest minus Lagos will fit into Niger state now go and cry by the corner, if you don’t know what real development indexes are.

you did fantastic analysis

oyo state is bigger than the whole SE
3 states in SE are same size with ibadan.
If 60% of Ibadan is slum,don’t you think the remaining beautiful 40% should be bigger than any of your tiny cities ?.
You shouldn’t forget oluyole,an area in Ibadan is bigger than a city In alaibo

everything you are saying, I'm seeing otherwise here.

According to Google earth, Ibadan is just about 3 times the size of owerri.
