Remove Onitsha from your list. The entire ANAMBRA is an IGALA STATE. IGBO only have 4 States in the EAST. Enugu, Abia, Imo and Ebonyi States are the only Igbo States.

Please show me your house in the pile of these mud houses in the cities of Ibadan, Osogbo and Abeokuta respectively.
I will like to show you the map of Igboland in person.
Just circle your own house and give me back the pictures.
You know these your people's mud houses are very confusing.
And while at it, bear in mind that Yorubas have only one state which is the Oduduwa state of Osun.
Oyo is owned by the Egbas and ruled by Alaafin. The man that enslaved 70 percent of Owo.
Ogun is owned by the Ijebu/Egba from sudan
Lagos is owned by Awori/Egba
Ondo is no man's land. Owned by both Bini and Yoruba

nku5:
If we check the matter well, the yorubas at least tried a lot compared to some minorities in the east

No don't say that. Go and read Chinua Achebe's there was a country and see where he was also pointed out as an Igbo man to be killed by his yoruba neighbors in Lagos. He had to hide in his container at the back of his house before smuggling himself down to east.
But worst people that wished extinction on Ndigbo was actually the Ijaw, ikwerre and Ogoni. That is why I will continue seeing IPOB as the greatest fools walking on the surface of Earth.
Men of limited reasoning, half simpletons and chronic fools

Ayo2004:
And yet,many igbos prefer to stay in the west...the only time they go back home is for burials and weddings

No na Yorubas and Hausas plus aliens dey live East.
Pic 1= Onitsha
Pic 2,3,4= The Aba you all love to criticize and spread fake news about

After bringing down my cities below (Enugu and Onitsha)
You want me to be emotional?
I refuse to be moved

I refuse to moved emotionally.
Not after collecting Igbo man's property and termed it abandoned property.
Today all the abandoned properties you people took in your cities are looking really abandoned because you people don't know that houses are maintained.
They think say na by shine eye.

nku5:
I hope you won't hang yourself if fulani dont give ND the VP slot in 2023 Walàhi the South West and the Niger Delta are the problem of the South. The Niger Delta is the biggest loser of the 1966 alliance with the north.

Yorubas at least gained infrastructure and Corporate tax base including oyel companies from hosting the capital in Lagos.

The north took ND oil courtesy of Gowon whos created states and left the land polluted and very poor.

Today Zamfara can sell its gold to who it wants in USD but after 50 years oil is becoming useless and the Niger Delta is still very poor, undeveloped and now you have narcotic infested smoking militants and cultists all over the place.

Fake news Peddler and history re-writer. Adaka Boro fought against the Nigerian armed forces not Eastern region armed forces (if there was anything like that).
And who are the Nigerian armed forces again?

FSBoperator:
Then why did Azikiwe block the minority report wanting to leave the eastern region?

Why did Ironsi send Ojukwu to crush Adaka Boro's revolt to leave Nigeria all together to be free from you Igbos ?


You used the resources from the minority regions to develop your Enugu .


Isn't this what led to western Cameron leaving Nigeria citing neglect and flagrant pillaging of their resources to develop Igbo towns and cities?


You were leaches back then and still are.

Even the north did not squander the resources of the minority people like the way you Igbos did in the eastern region.

Why did you not respect yourselves like the Yorubas who did not object to Mid Western region being carved out even though till this day people from the old Bendel still regard Awolowo as being fair minded with his free education policies and development strides in their region. Was this the case in the eastern region under you Igbo Jews?

This is one of the lies we are also setting straight.
Eastern Region was the first to grant secession to one of its constituents (the southern Cameroon) which went ahead to join Cameroon after a conference in England 1951.
And before 1966 there was nothing like our oil or our resources. The resources used to run the whole eastern region and half of Nigeria was from Coal.
Coal was the reason the southern protectorate was merged with the Northern protectorate. The reason was to cancel the deficit incurred in the poor North which eventually led to the high taxation of the southern protectorate especially the eastern region where the money is, subsequently resulting in Aba women's riot.
All roads and rail line leads to Port Harcourt then. Port Harcourt was the gateway to cart away the coal mined at Enugu and other valuables from Eastern region to sustain Nigeria.
So my dear history re-writer. We never needed the minorities in the first place. If left for Eastern region, all of them would have seceded and joined Cameroon. This was why the FG refused to allow Eastern region to handle the rise of Niger Delta Republic by Adaka Boro because the Eastern region would grant them secession immediately. This is because Ndigbo segregate too much and don't consider others the same with them

bencr7:
where did d write up say that inherit by MNK, some of u just come online to talk rubbish

Sense is still very far from you.
See the kind of idiots you and MNK want Ndigbo to inherit

tartar9:
Data- that's the ultimate decider,it is what's used anywhere in the world to compare growth.
You reason like one big illiterate.

LOL, has there been any non Nigerian statistics where anything from SW surpassed SE?
Mind you, Onitsha is the 7th most urbanized city in the whole of AFRICA

See the kind of people MNK wants us to inherit

ThatFairGuy1:
Is how you showed yours different from mine?
Meanwhile, this is Enugu with WHITE ROOF

It is different from yours. That is coal camp. The poorest neighborhood where immigrants live. You know we segregate very well down here and it was represented in the low right corner of the first picture. Look again it is 0.8 percent of the city. Reason why you didn't see it at glance.
But yours, muddy city is 95 percent of your cities.
Moreover, Coal camp will be demolished very soon. It has outlived her usefulness. It won't be there in the next five years and the immigrants especially the hausas will be looking for another place to inhabit

nku5:
The Eastern region was the fastest growing economy in the country. Some commentators even say in the world at the time.

Have you read "Why we struck" by Ademoyega?

They can't keep on hiding the truth and re-writing history.
We have survived the Civil War and it is time to set records straight.
Below was Enugu (1,2) and Onitsha (3,4) before the Biafran war

We've gone past this stage.
Osawike is an Ikwerre-Benin man.
Mr OP I know that you are neither ipob nor Igbo. I don't know what you wish to gain by drawing us backwards

ThatFairGuy1:
Here's Oshogbo

Stop showing us main road. We know the deal. Show us a full skyline encompassing more than 4km of the city. For example. Enugu

OfficialAPCNig:
I used to think only Ibadan has brown roofs but thanks to Social Media, I am better informed now.

I don't understand why people will live in such depilated building and be insulting people that are better than them.

Even here in Lagos, there is always sharp contrast between areas that are dominated by Yorubas and those Igbos dominate.

I am still trying to ubderstand what they see in rickety buildings. Their governments are trying to give them good roads but those lazy souls can't cplement their govt efforts.

I saw a recent picture of Osogbo, a whole capital with good roads drowned in a sea of brown roofs. Ifite Awka a village in Awka is far developed than Osogbo.

Go to Ifite and see what Anambras are doing with money. We have begged to give us drone view of that area so that our sophisticated brothers will learn what true development is, not rickety buildings with stupid architecture that will soon collapse on their skulls.

Wait till you see ado-Ekiti. She is the funniest of them all. In Ado-Ekiti, they build storey buildings with mud. One full storey building built with mud.
Ask anybody that have been there. That place have one special smell. Poverty.
One day God will expose them like he did to Osogbo and you people will see wonders.

leksite120:
It's obvious that city like osogbo, Ibadan , Ilorin are very old hence, they've a lot of old houses, or do u expect us to destroy our father's house? Since those cities are very big compare to yours, we still have more than enough lands to build on. They're our ancient houses, it's just common sense, Europe, Middle east still have some very old structures, does that means they're undeveloped. We have a lot of land to build our modern houses on, a lot.

Then show us the new side that you people are staying.
Mind you I've been to all SW capitals including Osogbo with her wide main road and one mall plus that big head of Oduduwa in their round about

EmekaA125:
Not just one picture. Brown roof old structure is very very common in all Yoruba land/SW. The ones in Ibadan dey learn work where Akure own is. Same as Oshogbo, Ijebu-Ode etc. Aparteof GRA and Estates in those places I mentioned, majority of the locals live in those brown roofs though the structures have been in existence for years unlike Igbos that started its development after the civil war.

I can now see that you are history revisionist. Which one is SE started developing after the Civil War.
Below are
1. AROCHUKWU in 1901 after the British captured here
2. ONITSHA before the war
3. ENUGU before the war
4. ABA before the war.
One thing about you people is that you find it hard to figure out how Ndigbo become this successful.
There was never a time we were mates with yoruba people

EmekaA125:
U don't know these people. Very terrible
They will rubbish SouthEast yet Igbos are miles ahead of them in development. Most of these brown roof structures were built by their ancestors and you dare not demolish it. The least you can do if you inherit it is renovation. What type of culture is this bikonu

Who is deceiving you like this? Have you stayed in SW before?
Nobody or any culture is stopping them from demolishing or renovating it. They just don't have enough money to do so.
Come to SW and see the through definition of poverty. They don't even have enough money to buy normal clothes na only old agbada them dey wear up and down

ThatFairGuy1:
That isn't how to show level of poverty. This is the index below.

Meanwhile, those buildings were there because new sites are being developed.

In every Yoruba town, that's how it's mostly done, old structures are barely renovated, new ones are developed instead since there's enough land

Would you believe if I tell you no one might be living in those structures

Are you still speaking grammar while this city stares us in the face?

OfficialAPCNig:
Yet they struck to install Awolowo as Prime Minister.

You Yorubas are phhoslish.

We noticed an increase in coordinated attacks against Ndi Igbo the moment Umahi decamped.

Una go tire.

While living in places like this and project fake statistics of how they have the highest IGR .
Below is Abeokuta, Ogun state

Kosiso12:
Umahi is 57 years. Sen. Egwu has governed Ebonyi State for 8 years, served as a minister of Education before going to the Senate. He is 66 years old.

Did you put football age into consideration?

Kosiso12:
Which Umahi is older?

The one wearing suit and tinted eye glass

I always knew that Umahi was older than he looks.
As for Mr Nyesomwhe Osawike that think praising TIV will turn to alliance and that he has a common enemy with Umahi in Ipob. He should know that in Igboland, iwe nwanne anaghị eru na ọkpụkpụ, very soon he will shocked when all will unite against him including MNK and Uche Mefor.
We've seen this many times, wasn't it Obiano and Peter Obi were crying and hugging like lovers at their principals burial in CKC after fighting like defending champions

post=96513275:
Amphitheatre at women development center Awka almost 93% completed, Mother and child care center at COOUTH is 100% completed and fully equipped with Mordern facilities waiting to be commission by the governor, I decided not to post pictures now

They did a nice work at that COOUTH, I was there yesterday.
I couldn't believe a state University will have a better teaching hospital than her federal counterpart in the state.
Well, nothing is impossible in Anambra

Freaknasty:
Economically Viable states in Nigeria as at 2019


Lagos,

Ogun,

Rivers,

Kwara,

Kaduna,

Enugu.

Stop posting falsified nonsense statistics and take a look at Abeokuta, which is the capital and the most developed city in Ogun state

Freaknasty:
You are very ignorant.

You need to check the meaning of economic viability before you type.

Learn, read and argue with facts and figures before you type next time

Fact and figures that are written by you guys while city of muddys are staring us in the face.
Example of the fact and figures is where Ogun state is supposed to generate the highest IGR in Africa with the lowest poverty rate in South while their capital Abeokuta looks like this

NwaforIgbo:
Imagine how this edifice would have changed the Skyline of Onitsha and Awka.. I am not in support of building edifice like this in Rural areas..

There is nothing like rural area in Anambra state. Everybody is hustling for his village to enter world map.
If Nnewi indigenes have wasted their energy investing in Onitsha or Awka, Nnewi won't be what it is today.
Akuluo uno bụ maka umunna

Point of correction. Not "Seized" but "Stole"

spy24:
Apart from Lagos

Most Yoruba states are backwards and economically not viable

Point of correction. Not most but all. I've been there.
Even the almighty Ibadan is the same.
A pile of mud houses linked together by a major
Road.
If their capitals look like this, then imagine how an average village will look like

baby124:
I am not in the tribalism business but mud houses have been posted here from other regions. So remove the speck in your eyes before you go for the dust in other peoples eyes.

There is a big difference between mud houses and mud cities.
What we have in SW is called mud cities. A city filled with mud houses not few mud houses.
A heap or pile of it.
What do they even call a concentration of mud houses again?
Muddy or mudderly?

omenka:
What has this got to do with the topic?

Ipob threads in nairaland are mostly patronized by crazy people. So he is giving them something they can relate to

Nyesomwhe Osawike is trying o
