That's why I said that this thread is just borne out of hatred and envy.

Well, through education their hatred MUST be cured.

bro the thing de vex me
I’m from ogun state and my mom is from delta
If you reach my town for ijebu ode
You go cry 😢
Bad roads everywhere
No light
No work
Nothing
Worst now fear of headsmen everywhere

You can’t compare it to where my mom village in delta state
Infact my mom village go de compete with lekki for Lagos
If you have a friend in delta state let them tell you about abraka or Jesse town

If I go my papa village that same day I do go back
And people will still have the mind to vote in bad leaders just because na from em state or tribe or religion
I can’t do that
God forbide I’m too intelligent for that

Are you joking? I have been to Agbor, Asaba, Warri and Isseluku.

If not for the current governor, Asaba was a village compared to other state capital.

Moreover, my experience of Warri was the potopoto roads everywhere. Nothing special.

You can't even compare Warri with Ikorodu but you want to compare a town inferior to Warri with Lekki!

You bi pikin?

Ogun state is far more developed than Delta state in all ratification.

misano:
STOP HOLDING ON TO PAST GLORY. Before now Ekiti used to be seen as the most educated people in Nigeria, but today SS and SE have the most educated people.

Till today, Ogun state is the most industrialized state in Nigeria. Lagos state is the most developed while Oyo state has the largest city in the whole of West Africa.

The glory is still upon the SW.

opamoses1:
Even cocoa money was used in developing the SW region before oil became commercial. Awolowo used the commonwealth of the SW to develop the industrial hubs of Lagos and Ogun. The Lagos immediately after independence was just a small part of Lagos Island.

You're right but nevertheless the wealth from that small part of Lagos Island was used to build roads, railway and other major infrastructures across the country before Awolowo used cocoa money to build Ikeja from the scratch and others places in South West.

In fact, at a point, Ibadan surpassed Lagos in terms of infrastructures. Tallest building, stadium, first TV station etc were exiting in Ibadan before Lagos.

As you rightly said, Cocoa oil developed SW ever before the oil boom.

misano:
Dreamer, Ogun can never have more money than Bayelsa. Add Oyo, Osun together they are still very poor compared to Bayelsa.

Ur report is from the Multi Dimensional Poverty caused by FG, it has nothing to do with Beyelsa state. Besides, the government will have to step in to help ur failed Buhari.

The same Bayelsa that is struggling to complete a 18 storey tower hotel. Yenagoa is just like a small village compared to other cities in Nigeria.

Road infrastructure is zero. Many dilapidated government school buildings. The most backward stayed in the whole of Nigeria despite the money.

If you know the amount of money Oyo is making from poultry, tobacco and other products, you will realise Bayelsa is below Oyo state not to talk of Ogun state making money from limestone, Industries and other agricultural products.

Next year, Ogun state will be among oil producing states in Nigeria.

RAND250:
Thanks bro South West is so bless to have Lagos
See how development dey move from lag enter other Western state
Lagos is they frustration

I just like the way people dey compare South south were get oil with south west were nor get oil but if na Lagos they go dey shout federal capital lol

Lagos already had Telephone, railway, banks, trams, street lights, well paved roads, bridges, seaport etc before the entity Southern protectorate was formed in 1900. Ever before oil was first discovered in Araromi Ondo state in 1908.

It was the wealth from Lagos the British used to develop other parts of Nigeria including South South before oil boom.

Don't allow anyone deceive you South South is more developed than South West. It's a fallacy.

Lagos vs Rivers------- Lagos state is more developed. Lagos state has many developed cities like Lagos city, Ikeja, Lekki, Eko Atlantic, Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry etc unlike Rivers with just Port Harcourt, Bonny and Eleme. More better cities are in Lagos than Rivers if we do the rating

7. Epe
8. Badagry
9. Eko Atlantic

Akwa Ibom vs Osun state------- Osun state as as a whole is more developed than Awka Ibom in terms of infrastructures. Apart from Uyo that's a little bit better than Oshogbo in terms of transportation infrastructures other cities like Ikot Ekpene, Eket, Ibeno, Oron are not better than Ilesha, Ede, Ife, Iwo, Ejigbo etc. I have been to Uyo, Ikot Ekpene and Essien Udim. No doubt the first two are in the top 3 cities in Akwa Ibom and are very nice but Osun state has more cities in the top 10 than Akwa Ibom if we do the rating of both cities.

4. Ogun state vs Delta state

Delta state is the most developed state in South South because there are many developed cities apart from Warri and Asaba. Notwithstanding, it's still not as developed as Ogun state. Ogun state has more developed cities, more infrastructures, educational institutions and industries than Delta state.

Rating: Delta vs Ogun state cities

Though Delta still has Agbor and Ughelli but Ogun state still has more like Ilaro, Igbesa, Iperu, Ikenne, Ilishan, Owode, Ijebu Igbo, Odogbolu etc.

Ogun state state is far more developed than Delta state.

1. Brass

As you can see, SW is more developed than SS

Ngorbungor:
you are not getting the koko, Lagos to ibadan is 131km @ N3,600 (2hr journey) which i doubt is same as price for bus fare, Onitsha to Owerri with 85.9km (1.26min) journery by bus @ N3k or more. So which route is more expensive btw the two?

You really think you're talking to a novice. Onitsha to Owerri depending on where you enter is 1,500 - 2,000. Especially, when you enter those buses coming from Lagos.

PreyingMantis:
You just confirmed yourself a brazen liar. You have zero credibility. God forbid! Stop defending stupidity and lying in the process. You're going to need more lies to cover previous ones and the cycle of lies continue.

Yoruba Ronu ooo!!!

Liar kwanu!!!

Ngorbungor:
Oga that's way too cheap, Onitsha to Owerri by bus is close to 3k, a journey of 1h 45min or even less

Oga, na 3,600 to Ibadan

OfoIgbo:
Your point is rubbish.
Let those trains increase their fares to generate profit, and you will see all those passengers disappear.

Businesses exist to generate profit.

The simple fact is that easterners are better business people and have what it takes to run the Nigerian transportation sector profitably.
The SW and their Fulani allies are running Nigeria aground.

Better business people? Is that your point? I will say stop being deluded.

[quote author= post=122709187]You guys enjoy deceiving yourselves this the video check how empty the train is how will they survive with this low patronage from Ibadan to Lagos


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2LgqvPCcKo[/quote]You are an ignoramus in this case. Those seats have been paid for by Agege, Abeokuta and other passengers at those terminals. You don't know anything but you think YouTube will educate.

However, you're deluded to think SW are poorer than SE.

MXrep:
I know say you de fear to talk bad about them. Over here ESN shoot them at sight

Stop being deluded. Nothing like herdmen attack along that route again. It has been neutralized.

MXrep:
2600 is ridiculously cheap. No wonder it can't fuel the train. It will soon collapse and sold to igbos

I knew you would say that the reason I reduced the price it's actually 3,600 naira. Olodo.

That's just for the economy class. Other classes are way more higher.

MXrep:
Because it's cheap, the revenue is less than fuel cost. Government money subsidizing poverty in SW

2,600 naira is actually the fee to Ibadan. Stop exposing your ignorance here

MXrep:
Same fulani herdsmen on Abuja Kaduna highway are on Lagos Ibadan highway

Stop fooling yourself. Nothing like that for now. You can try act on behalf of them on the road. Let's see how you will escape.

[quote author= post=122706247]Even with train isn't lucrative, NRC already complaining, when they build train area that's not lucrative that's why they don't last, instead of region that is industrious, that's why nothing good last in this country because of hate for Igbos this one will soon collapse[/quote]Complaining about low patronage or loss profit?

I travel on that train recently on 4 occasions and I can tell you the train is always filled up. Stop relying on rumours.

MXrep:
Train that was attacked in Kaduna? Train is even more prone to attak

Is SW Kaduna? The difference is clear. Notwithstanding, Ibadan airport still witness high passenger traffic.

[quote author= post=122704478]Those using proximity of Ibadan to Lagos because of low passenger at the airport doesn't make sense, Owerri airport is more closer to Port Harcourt both airports always record high passenger traffic, Oyo people are they not traveling to Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Owerri and other cities since they claimed Ibadan is close to Lagos

From Ibadan Airport to Lagos Airport is 113km

From Owerri airport to Port Harcourt is 54.3km

From Enugu Airport to Port Harcourt is 168km[/quote]Oga, i noticed people traveling prefers taking train to Lagos to board plan and back to Ibadan from Lagos airport.

[quote author= post=122704983]Fulani has been kidding people along Lagos/Ibadan express way, and they rub people on traffic on that road often, Owerri always record high passenger traffic even before APC introduced insecurity[/quote]Not true. However, there's an alternative. Train service.

Iamgrey5:
They have not had airport all this while because it's going to be useless.

People will rather take a cab to Lagos and fly from Lagos where it's much cheaper.

Flying from Lagos can save you 50k because airlines know their planes will be filled in Lagos.

It's more than an airport. Definitely, will be very busy.

manutdrichie:
The entire south west has only one airport, the Lagos International Airport built by the Federal govt

Others are just manger

You ill informed. All states in SW have airport save Osun state.

FatherOfJesus:
I hope you People ger enough money to build good houses. Look at the poverty surrounding this flyover 😂

The road is the only beautiful thing in the picture of osogbo. People living in this kind of places won't even have that mental capacity to elect good leaders. Poverty is a tool

Oshogbo is very developed in terms of road infrastructures. The problem is you haven't been there.

EmekaA125:
There are beautiful places in SW but telling me that brown roofs is something to be proud of is what I disagree. Onitsha, Awka even Enugu have been existing before most of the towns in SouthWest but you can hardly see old roof dilapidated structures there. I'm not boasting but Igboland have greatly changed from 2020 to 2023. You guys can still change ur stories.

I don't know why you like lying there are no clusters of brown roofs in the SE. The same SE I lived for almost a decade?

What has changed? Stop lying mr man. Not much as changed. It is the same everywhere save some few places.

XerXers:
Those are tiny isolated places in Lagos. The larger Lagos is disorganized. Aba was planned citywide. Onitsha main city was also planned but later swallowed unplanned villages. Fegge Onitsha has a unique plan, unbeatable Nationwide

Do you mean Ikeja is a tiny isolated place in Lagos state?

Oga, Ikeja is a city in Lagos state and it's more planned and developed than both Onitsha and Aba combined.

Lekki is also another city in Lagos state and it's more planned and developed than Aba and Onitsha combined.

It seems you can't differentiate between Lagos and Lagos state. Abi Enugu is same as Enugu state?

Even the main Lagos city is more planned than Aba and Onitsha. Lagos city comprises of Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Yaba, Lagos Island and Surulere.

XerXers:
Onitsha, Aba and Maiduguri have unbeatable masterplan. Fegge Onitsha was properly planned by colonist and nowhere in Nigeria comes close. I'm talking about urban planning not good roads

Which nowhere in Nigeria comes close? No doubt Aba is planned in SE but there are more better planned cities in other parts of Nigeria.

See below.

gidgiddy:
Everyone is collecting allocation since the civil war, how many places look like Onitsha?

Onitsha is not in the top 30 best cities in Nigeria? You're right, not many places look like Onitsha.

XerXers:
Ibadan lack inner streets like Onitsha. Even beautiful uyo lack inner streets like Aba and Enugu

You just come here and start lying. Which inner streets do you have in Onitsha and Aba? The same place i stayed for almost a decade?

Aba and Onitsha have ishimiri inner roads mixed with potopoto. Stop deceiving people here.

The only places I know that have inner roads are Owerri, Enugu and Umuahia. Even Orji Kalu town has better inner roads than Aba and Onitsha.

gidgiddy:
Onitsha is a true testament of the doggedness of the Igbo man who built up that city with no government assistance

So, Anambra state is not collecting allocations since after the civil war?

BERNIMOORE:
you will sweat when huge evidence will be coming out and eventually Overturned the election at tribunal.....as you can see...APC is panicking.... Because the amount of evidence gathered by not using Bvas on real time as contained in the electoral act has made Laid Mohammed to start panicking that Inec deliberately withheld results...

Sleeping with one eye

Who told you INEC didn't use BVAS at real time? No wonder Obi was taught the difference between Bvas and irec.

Bvac was used at real time but there's no law stating voting sheets must be transmitted electronically. That's Inec decision to make.

XerXers:
Elections are over, stop using election to console yourself on any topic. Wait for election topic

Wetin dis one dey yan? I dey reply someone talking about election. You dey talk another thing.

[quote author= post=122342284]You know the truth[/quote]Which truth? You even mentioned he won NC despite having Kwara, Kogi that voted on ethnic line and Niger that voted on religious line. Even in Benue state controlled by Ortom who supported Obi, he lost. Are you still deluded Obi won the election?
