Aba is more developed than Ibadan and order town/village u mentioned here

Does Aba that I know have golf courses, polo club, stadiums, international schools, universities, recreation parks, sgr rail, research centers etc?

Nigercity:
If we are going by south west standard
We will be having more than 30 cities in a state, cos south east is mostly built up and urbanized than any other region because it has has the highest population density (if you even no what that means)

In anambra we have, ekwulobia, obosi, Nkpor, oba, onistha, awka, nnewi, ihala
Imo has, owerri, orlu, okgiwe, oguta,
Abia has ohafia, umuahia, uturu, umudike, Aba, obehie, abiriba, igbere
Ebonyi has uburu, abakiliki, afikpo, ohazara, okposi
Enugu has Enugu, Nkanu, nsukka, Enugu ezike, agbani

Dude! Can you please define what a city is?
Dude is even mentioning Igbere, Umudike etc as city. Shuuuu!

You are wasting my time.

I have been to Igbere, Umudike,Umuahia, Orlu, Oguta, Okigwe, Nnewi, Nssuka etc and you believe they are standard of cities in SE. what!?

Aminchi and some places in Anambra are where I have been too.

Nigercity:
Lolz
Typical Yoruba
Anyway
Use that one and console yourself
Hahaha


Like I said, mentioned the name of any estate in Ibadan that's as big as Enugu Centenary lifestyle and golf city estate, (so w can use Google statelite view and measure the both and Post screenshot)

Is Bodija not an Estate? You can do that without doing ojoro. I am here to learn and teach if possible.

Favour623:
Aba,Enugu,Onitsha,Owerri,Abakiliki,Umuahia,Akwa,Nnewi and many other small city

Hahahahahhahaha! And this is your standard??

Dude! Ibadan and Abeokuta is more developed than those places. Oshogbo and Akure are far better than Aba, Umuahia, Abakaliki, Awka and Nnewi. Gbam

Nigercity:
Lolz... Afonjas and imagination
Y not tell me the name of the estate as big as the one I mentioned above in Ibadan?

Anyway since you want us to start listing estate
Drop your list with website first (optional), and I will list the once in Enugu
Let's go!

As for the ph matter, you don't even need to doubt it, infact in next 10 years Aba will have more estate than Ibadan, cos the amount of estate been built Along ph/ABA Express road, replication of Lagos/ogun is currently happening btw Aba and pH the 2 cities are fast joining each other, with more companies building there factory and estate in Abia axis becose of cheaper taxes and expansion,(just use goggle map and view ph/Aba boundary)

Bodija is bigger than what Enugu has to offer and it’s almost the size of Owerri.

Favour623:
I was born and bred at ojo lagos and i live and students now at delta state i visit Aba/portharcourt every holiday.am the one that should advise u to travel

List the cities qualified to be called a city in SE and leave tori.

BKayy:
LOL you no well.

But that one na general problem for Nigeria na

Na true but those outrageous bills in SE no bi here.

The oppression there is too much and I can understand why they are agitating.

Nigercity:
Oga it's a very big lie
I onced believed this your rubbish lie
Untill I did my own research
Ph and Enugu have more housing estate than Ibadan, even in South West ogun has more estate than Ibadan
(Ibadan have more G.R.A yes but not estate)
Infact there is no estate in Ibadan as big as Enugu Centenary lifestyle and golf city,
If there's any tell me the landmass lemme compare
Ibadan is in the level of owerri in having estate, and with the ongoing think home idealogy going on in east, owerri will Soon over take Ibadan,

One estate in Ibadan is almost the size of Owerri.

List the estates in Enugu. I agree with that of PH.

BKayy:
Lagos is not part of SE

SE is where you get no electricity for days but get estimated billed. And you must pay by force by fire.

Menhhhhh! Me no gree ooooo

BKayy:
Ibadan is not in SE my dear

SE is where you have 3 or 4 deckings houses without water running in taps. One has to buy water and carry up to your flat.

Menhhhhhhh! Suffer Dey dis country ooooo.

BKayy:
Brown roof estates you mean.

Please I am talking about where human beings can live

I lived in SE for almost a decade. It’s where I saw 4 families share 3 bedrooms flat with only one toilet and bathroom.

They keep bucket to shi.t in their rooms.

This is very common.

Favour623:
lagos is the only place qualified to be called city in south west others are capital towns and glorified village

Then list the cities qualified to be called a city in SE.

Just travel out and learn.

BKayy:
LOL.
It is either you like deceiving yourself or you are talking out of ignorance.
Anybody that have travelled round Nigeria must have noticed that when it comes to number of cities (Nigerian Standards) SE edges other regions out.
Coming to livable cities, SE still edges others out followed by SS then North before SW.

I am not talking for arguments and if you read everything I type here you won't see any reason to reply or challenge it.
Let me explain the difference for you.
What you call cities by Nigerian standards is what an average Igbo town has (working market, health care, basic amenities like schools etc)
Moving from the south to the North one notices something like moving from walled houses to those without walls.
SE and most parts of SS don't construct buildings without demarcating with walls and gates. This is not something you can see easily in SW or North (though unrelated in development but shows differences in living conditions and quality placed in where one lives)

Now let's go to sanitation and hygiene. I don't mean to insult some people but anyone that have visited or lived in different parts of Nigeria will know that SW in general place little or no importance on Personal hygiene.
Hygiene like building toilets and maintaining houses is something alien to SW and North.
In SW it is very difficult to see shops selling tissues especially in Ibadan because the people don't use it
Anybody that have lived in Ibadan will attest to the fact that is is very difficult to see houses with toilet. Though the North also fall for the same thing but in SE it is considered as a taboo. Other Nigerians visiting SE always say the people place too much importance on where they defecate.

If we are to be honest with ourselves and talk from what we say ourselves not media propaganda, SW and the North are no where near SE.
And also SW is no where near North in livable cities as well if we want to be honest with ourselves

Ibadan alone has more estates than any cities in Nigeria besides cities in Lagos and Abuja.

Keep fooling yourself.

Favour623:
the truth is without lagos in sw there is nothing more

If you do top 10, there will be 3 SW cities in top 3.

Favour623:
my dear face d truth

What is the truth?

Favour623:
lagos is in sw but not belong to sw

Yes it belongs to SE. clown

Favour623:
thats not a lie apart from lagos,maybe ibadan,Akure they is no order city in sw ota town is more a city than Abeokuta

Stop lying

Biafrarep:
I asked you to name towns/villages in Yorubaland that can remotely compare with Oguta, Abiriba or Udi, but you failed to do that which means you have non!

Yet you keep dancing around Lagos as if without Lagos nothing else exists in the SW. Now, I ask you, what is the difference between Abuja and FCT?

I'm done with you abeg, it's obvious you've lost the argument. Next please!

Lagos belongs to SW and it consist of many cities. You can cry about that.

Ife, Iperu, etc are far more developed than those villages.

Biafrarep:
That we call them villages doesn't necessarily mean they're villages in the strict sense of it. Many of them are already towns so yes, go ahead and name any Yoruba town/village that can compare with those Igbo towns I listed.

Saying that Awolowo contributed to the development of Lagos is crap, because Michael Okpara also contributed to the development of P.H and that city is owned by an Igbo speaking tribe yet you don't see us throwing it into the mix.

Forget Lagos, it's a national heritage developed by all.

Ikeja is the capital of Lagos State. It’s not Lagos city.

If you don’t know anything you can just learn today. Lagos is different from Lagos State.

We have many cities within Lagos State. Ikeja and Lekki are one of them. Do you understand?

Sergio101:
it's not something of much argument........ East has upper hand in this case 100%.


East has more cities

unless if Lagos is among what we are comparing, but if not...... juxtapositioning of east cities to West cities........ The east has it more. And even more developed

SW
1 Lagos
2. Ikeja
3. Lekki
4. Ibadan
5. Abeokuta
6. Oshogbo
7. Akure
8. Eko Atlantic
9. Ado Ekiti
10. Ota
11. Mowe ( RCCG camp)
12. Ijebu-Ode
13. Sagamu
14. Ilesa
15. Ondo
16. Ogbomoso
17. Ikorodu
18. Badagry

SE
1. Owerri
2. Enugu
3. Umuahia
4. Onitsha
5. Abakaliki
6. Awka
7. Aba

That’s all that qualifies as city in SE. I may be wrong but show me.

Nigercity:
Whatever

once you cross south west
You will notice only Ibadan/lag are the only popular cities in South West,
Other aren't that popular, like the are in your imagination!

Stop lying

Nigercity:
Like i said earlier
I once mentioned Ado ekiti in kano

And was surprised that many folks over there
Thought I was referring to a location in South East,

If you can make it to Kano next month end, with might mit and conduct a background check,
You will be shocked that, most people down North only knows ib and lag!
The even mistake IMO state for Igbo state

They don’t know Ife or Oyo or Abeokuta? Keep lying to yourself.

Nigercity:
It is now clear obvious
That you aren't in good terms with English

Read my post again now slowly

For the last time
Ota is part of greater Lagos metro

It’s not part of Lagos metro, mr man.

Nigercity:
Outside South West
No one knows ikere ekiti, owo, ondo town , Oyo town even Ado ekiti to an extent

And you even forgot okigwe in IMO,
Let's even forget Abiriba (ohafia)
Go to the northern part of the country, many folks don't even know ogbomoso, ijebu ode,ilesha and Ado ekiti

If they don’t know Ijebu-Ode which is the point of entrance to the SW from SS and SE, is it Abiriba that is after Ikwere ( Kalu’s town) they will know? You are just deceiving yourself.

Nigercity:
Don't mind them
The OTA he mentioned is still part of greater Lagos

Ota is part of Lagos?

You don’t know anything.

Biafrarep:
For you to throw in Lagos as the only challenger to Owerri and Onitsha shows you already know they have no match in the SW

The Yoruba guy that opened this thread must be full of regrets now, he actually didn't bargain for this

I challenge you Yorubas to name any village from the SW that can remotely compare with any of these SE villages below and I will transfer 10k to your account.

1. Oguta (Imo State).
2. Abiriba (Abia State).
3. Udi (Enugu state).

Mind you I have videos and drone pictures of these Igbo villages and there are also more I will name from Anambra but let's start with these ones.

Owerri vs Ikeja ( this city was developed from the scratch by Awolowo not federal government)

Onitsha vs Lekki (this city was developed by Jakande and latter by Tinubu from scratch) it was never under or part of Capital of Nigeria.

Abakiliki vs Akure
Enugu vs Ibadan
Aba vs Ota
Abeokuta vs Umuahia
Oshogbo vs Awka
Oguta vs Ijebu Ode

Where is Ikeja, Lekki etc? SE?

Unfortunately, SW don’t have village like those places mention. Except you want me to mention towns.

Nigercity:
South East has more cities than South West

Most places they call cities in South West aren't even popular outside South West

But everyone in West Africa knows about ABA and onistha (which aren't even capital cities in the east)

Go to the northern part of Nigeria
You will really understand that they only popular south west cities are Lagos and Ibadan,
I was surprised when I made mention of Ado ekiti in Kano
They all thought I was referring to a location in the east,



1)ANAMMCO (a car assembling company)
2) Nigeria breweries have there largest plant which is also the biggest breweries in West Africa (Google that)
3) Ivm (another car production company)
4) Stan industries LTD (if you have ever had of zinox wire b4)
5) cocola bottling company
6) A.c pharmaceutical production company (the produce different varieties of drug)
7) peace mass car production/assembling industry
nalin paint production company
9) Lopa energy limited (a well respected oil and gas firm)
10.) lolite company (the are into production of nuts, bolts, washer e.t.c)

I can go on and on (the list is endless)
The problem with you folks from South West, is that you guys don't travel
You think the world starts and ends in your imagination
Have you ever been to emene industrial layout emene Enugu hell no!
You just stay in your Brown roof and be predicting nonsense


Anyway below is fact about south east

Stop lying here. Who doesn’t know Shagamu, Ijebu-Ode, Ota (Ota farm), Akure, Oshogbo, Ife etc? You can lie oooooooo.

Biafrarep:
Lol, you're Igbo yet ewedu and gbegiri is oozing out of you.

This is a no brainer to anyone who has traveled to both regions. Talking about livable cities between both regions now I will give you the options so you can compare on your own.

Owerri vs Akure
Onitsha vs Ogbomoso
Abakiliki vs Ado Ekiti
Enugu vs Ibadan
Aba vs Ijebu Ode
Abeokuta vs Umuahia
Oshogbo vs Awka
Oguta vs Iragbiji

Except you're the devil himself, you already know which region that is far more livable than the other.

Only SS can give SE a run for their money in Nigeria in terms of lively cities. SW is out of the equation, it's just that Lagos tends to hide the rot in that region.

Owerri vs Ikeja
Onitsha vs Lekki
Abakiliki vs Akure
Enugu vs Ibadan
Aba vs Ota
Abeokuta vs Umuahia
Oshogbo vs Awka
Oguta vs Ijebu Ode

12large1:
Salah has 15 goals so far Osimehn has 9 and awoniyi 12. As a coach, you shouldn’t be downplaying your team

Are they contending for ballon d’or?

12large1:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=668&v=0rYbH0mFctA&feature=emb_title


Watch this coach talking about we don’t have players in the form of Salah and mane Do you see why people dislike this coach for his lack of believe? How can you watch Osimehn this season and Ndidi and say that we don’t have players in the form of mane and Salah?? You’re indirectly showing lack of believe in your players

Which of our players is like Salah and Mane?

Some people here even claimed all our strikers are better than Ighalo and from what I deduced they believe those players have surpassed Ighalo’s achievements.

I couldn’t but shake my head and move on because I no wan waste my time arguing.

If we say Ighalo will block the chances of those strikers doing well currently, I can agree with that but don’t out to claim Ighalo was trash.

Which of them don play for big club like ManU?

Meliforme:
It is very clear that Chidera Ejuke and Samuel Chukwueze are a class above Victor Moses when concerns are fixated on wing forward play.
There are obvious reasons enough for this conclusion. However Victor Moses is a maestro in wingback play.

For most of the coaches i have studied, Victor Moses will never displace these aforementioned players in their natural positions, that is, if these coaches will consider employing his services.

In Super Eagles, Victor Moses enjoyed the quality of John Obi Mikel and Ogenyi Onazi in addition to better tactics and approach.
Now that Salisu Yusuf is back, let's patiently observe the unfolding of events.

Oga! We were almost crashing out of AFCON despite Mikel in the team but from the time Vicmo was brought in, he singlehandedly won games for us.

Besides, Vicmo was brought to limelight as a winger during his days at Wigan.
