Aba remains the dirtiest place on earth . Not fit for humans to live and better suited for pigs

This is another video of Aba which captures other parts of Aba that were not captured in the earlier one.

Aba is half of Ibadan or even larger than the half

Use your Google map and comfirm

Then compare with Ibadan information using the population and land density. Aba has extended into Rivers state and to boundary between Abia and Akwa ibom.

obaaderemi:
So why is no igbo city or town as developed as ibadan?

Most Igbo cities are more developed and organized than ibadan. Forget about the horrific land size of Ibadan. More than 78% of Ibadan is slum with poor and archaic buildings.

And mind you Ibadan is not much larger than Aba as you people always say here that one estate in Ibadan is larger than Aba.

You always use the size of Aba south (78km2) excluding the size of the remaining 5 LGAs to compare the general size of Ibadan of 11 LGAs (3080km2).

Aba information

walefresh3:
This is what we call development In Southwest

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has revealed that Lekki Deep Seaport which currently under construction at Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos state, when completed, will generate over $200 billion for the Federal Government and State Government within concession period of 45 years.

Speaking on Wednesday while on an inspection of the Port in Lagos, Mohammed said the project is a game-changer because of the impact it will have on the nation’s economy and the jobs it will create, among others.

“The investment is huge: 1.53 billion dollars on fixed assets and 800 million dollars on construction. But the aggregate impact has been put at 361 billion dollars in 45 years, which will be over 200 times the cost of building it.

“In addition, it will create 169,972 jobs and bring revenues totalling 201 billion dollars to state and federal governments through taxes, royalties and duties,” he said

The Minister explained that “the direct and induced business revenue impact is estimated at 158 billion dollars, in addition to a qualitative impact on manufacturing, trade and commercial services sector.

“Beyond that, when it begins operation in the last quarter of this year, it will make it possible for Nigeria to regain the maritime business that was lost to ports in Togo, Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana

“It is also a big boost to Nigeria in its quest to take advantage of the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).

“A major advantage we have to leverage is transhipment with this port, Nigeria will become a transhipment hub and the revenue we are currently losing to our neighbouring countries will come here.

“As you know, this project is being done in phases. Phase 1 has reached 89 per cent and will be completed in September this year,” the Minister added.

He further noted that “the facilities here are first class. We have 7 ships to shore cranes and 21 RTG cranes. No port in Nigeria currency has this. The excellent equipment is why this port can do 18,000 which is more than four times the number that can currently be handled by our other ports.

“Also, the project is self-sufficient in required electricity. It is now ready to generate up to 10 Mega Watts and tie total capacity is 16 megawatts.”

You are vindicating us with your post. Most of the projects in Igbo land is private driven mainly from Igbos while yours are federal government investments.

And stop bringing Lagos in, the comparison is between Aba and Ibadan not Aba or Enugu with Lagos. Lagos is a federal city like Abuja.

OFFICIAL336:
We are doing Aba vs Ibadan and this dude is posting estates in Lagos and Abuja



He even claimed Yorubas built ALL the estates. So Chevron, Sunrise and others were developed by Yorubas?

Thank for the internet

And also posting pictures from Enugu because of yellow buses and taxis.

Obamaofusa:
Well,thanks for the complement but Yorubas are not entirely superhumans now.
Nigeria and Nigerians affected the exponential growth Yorubas pioneered.

Take note of these points...

1.Yorubas are the poneers of growth and development in Nigeria and West Africa.

2.Yorubas respect their parents too dearly making them leave their legacy until their demise ...the old houses which were built by them when Igbos were living in huts.We have expanded by building in other new sites.These sites have development that cannot be seen for a long time in the SE.

3.Yorubas developed Ibadan up to an enviable state until Aguiyi Ironsi stopped it with his envy by promulgating unitary decree.

Yorubas faced Lagos and continue to develop it just as they did Ibadan then.The develoment in Lagos is done 80% by Yorubas and 20% non Yorubas.
4.Yorubas have to quickly takehold of Lagos so as not to lose political and economical power there.As they are building Lagos also are tey systematically building their indigenous region.

5.Yorubaland has more population of non Yorubas than any region making it possess more houses and infrastructures than the SE.

6.Yorubas are the builders who built most of the houses in the East.Yorubas taught you Igbos how to maintain your tiny land.

7.Igboland has scanty modern buildings compared to the SW especially Ibadan,Lagos and Ogun state.

8.This is a place in Lagos developed 95% Yorubas just as they are also developing the hinterland.

The question is....
On what basis do you think SE comes near the development of Yorubaland even excluding Lagos?

Yorubas live here 95%.
This is Ebute meta-Yaba axis.

A child has written something. 80% of development in Lagos was done by Yorubas and you still complain of Igbo economic dominance in Lagos.

Yorubas are the ones that taught igbos how to build while you can not demolish the archaic houses built by your parents and build modern ones.

Shame unto you.

walefresh3:
Ibos don't have something like dis ooo...

The south west u can't beat...

This is how most places in Aba look like.

Michael004:
Can you name any city apart from Abuja that was built by Nigerian government?

I want to hear from you.

After war, the affected area is rebuilt by the government.

Yes, Lagos being the 1st capital of Nigeria. Pls, how old are you?

SmokedWhiskey:
Oga you keep posting the same cluster of buildings in Aba over and over again you no dey tire? Ibadan can comfortably boast of at least 10 estates if that’s your yard stick.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5RITI0SIL4
Ibadan pass Aba in all ramifications, fact.

Check out this video:

https://youtu.be/F5RITI0SIL4

I still see rubbish here compared to the ones of Aba, Umuahia, Abiriba, Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi and Asaba.

walefresh3:
Better opportunities and the peoples are very poor.... With low purchasing power... Why are u contradicting your self ?

Keep on deceiving yourself with a concocted information. That 2020 or whatever poverty survey was not genuinely and properly conducted. For your mind, Osun and Ondo are doing better than Anambra, Imo, Abia and Enugu? And Oyo is better than Ebonyi?

Nigeria can never tell you the truth. For your information, a sample size of 22,000 can not be used to determine the poverty status of a country with over 200,000,000 people. And Igbos are the richest in Africa. We may not have much billionaires but over 70% of our population are millionaires get this in your brain.

Michael004:
Shut this your trap you called mouth about war, war, war.

Which war did you experience?

Where are the pictures of leveled anambra, enugu,imo, abia or ebonyi.

We all saw Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Did you experience what they experienced.

Can you compare any of your city to those two today.

You are wrong if you are taking it this way. Hiroshima and Nagasaki was rebuilt by the Japanese government while Igboland was left by Nigerian government for the igbos to rebuild. They even frustrated the rebuilding of the region by imposing the abandoned property and 20 pounds policies against the Igbos, by not reabsorbing the Igbos into the Nigerian civil service forcing many Igbo outside southeast to drop Igbo names. They carved out all the areas with oil and access to sea from southeast and put them in Rivers and Akwa ibom states. They failed to site signature projects in southeast, they brought up so many policies to surpress the Igbos and hinder speedy development in Igbo land. The two airports we had then was built with money contributed by individuals, the railway we have was the one built by the colonial masters for the export and transportation of coal from Enugu to Port Harcourt.

And the question you should be asking yourself if you are sincere is why the sudden closure of port Harcourt and Calabar seaports which were helping businesses in Aba and the Aba economy? Why the refusal to build seaport in Onitsha and Azumini?

All these were aimed at frustrating development in southeast and boost the ones of Lagos and the north.

But thanks to almighty God who out of his love do not allow them to succeed.

OFFICIAL336:
That's what I keep saying

Yorubas didn't see war, the run the Nigerian economy for more 15 years during and after the war, the had everything going for them, yet they still live in dilapitated houses

That is to show that there is a repercussion for every evil.

Transcriber:
yeah Igbos are 1 billion

Travel and see

FACE:
A lie repeated several times has a way of gaining a life of its own. Ibadan metropolis is about 580sqkm and only about 3 times the size of Aba metropolis in landmass. Aba is compact with a large number of high density buildings

Pls use your Google map and zoom it more and more you will definitely see that Ibadan is not larger than Aba. Aba area is densely populated and has more satellite towns and zones than Ibadan.

Murphyenemuwe:
According to diametric ABA is the worst place to live in Nigeria. You compared ibadan interior to the best place in Abia. It only shows how inferior you're. I don't know why you're obsessed with the yorubas. The picture below is from Abia. Mumu

Guy why are you like this. On the picture you posted I can see the popular cocoa house and you still termed it Aba.

sreamsense:
You should have bothered yourself about how many Aba you will see in one ibadan? Entire Aba is not up to one local government in Ibadan. All those tall houses in Aba, if you put them in Ibadan; you will hardly notice where they are located. Tall buildings in Aba and other south east are because of scarcity of tiny landmass.

It would have been better if it is also economically and security-wise develop to prevent people rushing down to the same Ibadan to hussle for money to build empty houses in Aba they only come to leave once in Christmas year

Empty houses in the city? Empty houses where and where and people are still looking for houses to occupy?

Stop living in delusion and stop saying what you did not confirm. Not just because you see us everywhere you go due to our large population you then assumed in your little brain that we are running away from our land. Guy, we Igbos are large in number don't be deceived because Nigerian government has been rigging our population figure. Our cities are excessively filled in their capacities.

If our cities and buildings are empty as you have presumed, ask yourself then why is it that those federal roads in southeast under reconstruction are being extended to 6-8 lane roads, and why is it that even our state governors are extending our two lane roads to 4, 6 or 8 lane roads?

They can't be doing these if actually the people are running away from the land but they are doing so in order to reduce traffic and accommodate the large population.

Reality3080:
those houses u call ugly have been built as far back as 1950's n i can tell u for free that majority of ibadan people haven't step in b4 they only have distant relatives there.

They decide to leave it there cos ibadan has wide land n u don't have to demolish b4 building another one like your region that u kill yourself cos of a plot of land

Just imagine one unexposed illiterate believing ibadan people stay in that place,if u ain't trying to b mischievous go to real ibadan areas I mean highbrow areas n feed your eyes.

My grandparents have houses there but me n none of my siblings know d place n one fool will say ibadan people are staying in ugly houses.

Leave your village n get exposed, igbos that have been to ibadan will never say this,it is igbos who are still stucked in their region that have this kinda mindset.

U self go fear for beautiful houses if u come ibadan,capture ibadan highbrow areas with that of aba n shame go catch u.

Just houses in one local government will humble u

You are just lying. This is how most of your cities look like. Abeokuta, Oshogbo, shango otta and the rest look like this.

Reality3080:
d guy is not exposed at all,he took pictures of houses built on 1950 that people decide not to demolish to structures built lately.

A wise person who wants to compare will go for highbrow areas of the two cities, their useless dirty aba that is not even up to 5 local governments in ibadan, only few estates in ibadan will relegate those shits he posted here

Aba is more than 6 LGAs. What we have in the southwest is big for nothing cities littered with archaic and dilapidated houses. Northern cities are not like that, they are like southeastern and south southern cities in terms of size. Even in terms of modern buildings.

SwissMass:
But people are running away from aba to Ibadan, if you see those easy virtue girls carousing and wangling trollops around queen cinema, Ibadan, you will curse the day Nigeria was almagamated, they are such unquantifiable menace in Ibadan

It's not true. We Igbos have population and we are seen everywhere. Nobody is running from Aba, Aba has better infrastructures and opportunities than Ibadan. Travel to Aba and see the large population there.

I personally can not live in Ibadan. It's too dirty and scary to my liking.

aribisala0:
Aba is 70 square kilometres , Ibadan is 3080 square kilometres

Abia State is 6320 square kilometres

There is no basis for comparing Aba one of the dirtiest places on earth to Ibadan
Ibadan is 44 times the size of Aba

Is no joke

Stop using this as the yardstick of your comparison. Convert all the 5 and 6 storey buildings with 2, 3 or 4 flats in Aba to down floor or one storey single flat buildings in Ibadan, Aba will be 4 times the size of Ibadan. We are building storey buildings in Igboland in order to conserve land since we have limited land.

You will be surprised to see that Aba city will have population than Ibadan if proper and genuine census is counted.

OFFICIAL336:

Which is more developed?

Aba is more developed and beautiful na. Just that Ibadan is much larger.

JonOfAustrlia:
I have lived with a girl from Delta, was neighbors with a guy from Delta. I know a few aunties from Delta. Lol. People I know have called them wicked.

The girl I lived with was sweet at first. I really liked her but then after a while I could see shes a bit wicked. Like someone will have a smile on their face while guiding u to hell lol! But I dont have a real opinion.

What do u all think?

I sense intelligence with a hint of wickedness always there.

Deltans are not one people. So which particular people are you referring to?
Is it the Igbos, the Urhobos, the Itsekiris or the ijaws?

What I know is that the Urhobos are very stingy and can yap a lot, the itsekiris talk and shout a lot, the ikas are stingy and cunning while the other Igbos behave like the Igbos across the Niger.

sorosoke101:
Its been so obvious, the hatred the remaining Igbo states have for the Ebonyi people. Even here in Lagos the other Igbo tribes do call them "OSU" I really don't know what it means until someone told me it means " an outcast". Is there a history to these hatred? I tried asking some of my Igbo friends but most of them can't really fathom the cause but they openly admitted the hatred is much in the east compare to here in Lagos. According to my research on this issue, the hatred is much between the Anambra people and the Ebonyi people. Please I need more answers on these.

No Igbo hate Ebonyi state Igbos. This is just an exaggeration.

SaintBishop:
Has any Opobo man or woman come online or offline to say that they are igbos? I don't think so. Keep living in your dreams.

Yes. They always say it in Aba.

Captain8:
even yourself doesn't believe what you saying....
i know why you doing this..... you doing it because you want us to feel pain and leave the fact sayin " there is no ibo in the south south"..... guy, for where..?.. we die here... as for that "ibo is not in the south south", it just begun... if you like write that Ijaw is not Ijaw, we don't care, but you see that true fact of no ibo in south south, we with it....
if you like called your israel, we will continue to say it till thy kingdom come because we have all evidence that there is no single ibo in south south...

Keep on deceiving yourself.

IDeyNL:
Seriously, some Igbos here just like to bring disgrace by trying to make it seem the great Igbo race are forcefully attaching themselves to minority tribes. You guy keep giving these minorities room to insult Igbos because of your useless attachee by force threads.

Some of you really have to get serious job in life.

Allow the minorities to speak themselves and be the boss

I just hope this online attitude is not being reflected in physical.

Most of you IPoBs keep giving Igbos bad name

nobody is trying to force any tribe to be Igbo. There are many igbos in hidden in many states in south south and northcentral. I was surprised when an Igbo woman from Kogi state told me in sokoto that after southeast, Rivers and delta states that kogi is the next state that has Large number of Igbo communities starting from the boundaries between the state and Anambra and Enugu to the Idah in the heart of Kogi state. The Igbos there are larger than those in Benue and Cross-river state. They are also distributed to other parts of the state. So some of these states where Igbos are found are the ones forcing themselves to and claiming our people because they dont want a bit of their state population and land to be returned to igbos in southeast.
Below is the rank of Igbos in various states based on population:
1. Anambra state
2. Imo state
3. Enugu state
4. Abia state
5. Ebonyi state
6. Rivers state
7. Delta state
8. Kogi state
9. Benue state
10. Cross river state
11. Bayelsa state
12. Akwa ibom state
13. Edo state.

Tranquill:
Why can't you folks just show some respect for others? You are still the same people that will come and scream "They hate Igbo!"
I don't see 'They hate Hausa", "They hate Yoruba", "They hate Ijaw" "They hate Fulani" etc. it is always "They hate Igbo" or 'your hatred for Igbo".......yet you are always the first to insult and ridicule others.

What you give is definitely what you'll get.

How do you manage to know that the person you quoted is Igbo. You are a devil who used every opportunity to incite Igbos with other tribes.

kollinzgee:
Any big city you go to Nigeria especially in the south after the original indigenes the next biggest tribe you will see are the Igbos after igbos are the ibibios or we prefer to call them calabars. Do you notice this too?

Not only in the south, everywhere. Akwa iboms are mini igbos. They are plenty here in the north.
