E bi like say I know this place. Drove by the other day.

candidtalk:
I'd have something to say about it if I was talking to fellow genuine Yorubas on a thread started by a genuinely concerned Yoruba and not an IPOBian mischief-maker creating a congregation ground for the mocking of Yorubas.

This sort of thread is to be derailed. Let NGpatriot, LegendHero or other genuine Yoruba sons and daughters start this thread and I will discuss in it productively.

Next some of you will ask us to take Kanu's rant seriously merely because he pretends to be concerned about the plight of the Yorubas and the SW.

Are you insinuating this is a fake news?

From my observation from Oyo history, they are slow to react but when they do, they spare no prisoners.

Insecurity under this regime is alarming.

candidtalk:
Lol. Enu gbe brother mi. Fake Yorubas, like you, and your fake 'Southern unity' IPOBian pals should consider paying me if you want peace to peddle your fraudulent and anti-North garbage 'Southern unity' mago mago here. No freebie in 2021 bro

What do you have to say about the topic here?

rdokoye:
Niger the country, not Niger State.

I know.

Unfortunately, you are a bad business for some corrupt peeps in the corridor of power. They need a willing tool to fulfill their... hehehe! Make I stop here.

Railway to Niger is a welcome development.

Don't forget that Calabar to Lagos railway is underway.

Yenefer:
Everything is fine

Sure!? Good.

Abohboy:
yes, if you ever watched videos of news reporters going into the factory of innoson you would know that they import and assemble the advanced pieces, majority of the car is imported for assembly, innoson cars are very similar to some other Chinese cars, the contract he signed allows him to import the pieces and assemble the Chinese cars under a different brand name, if you bothered to do research you would know. But the more money we pour into them and the more advanced our metallurgical industry becomes the less importation they will need.

Okay.

Abohboy:
Not manufacturers they assemble it, they build the frame then assemble the pieces like engine, radiator into the car

Do you mean Innoson, Nord and Proforce assemble cars only?

Innoson is not the only Nigeria's indigenous auto car manufacturer. Nord and Proforce are also indigenous auto car manufacturers.

proeast:
There are more industries in Aba alone than the whole of SW bar Lagos the former federal capital and its suburbs which include Agbara and Ota. If you dare me you can go ahead and list the industries in SW and I will name the industries in Aba.

Enough of your propaganda.

Fat lie.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Abiola won because IBB backed him and this gave most of the south , MB and even parts of the north to vote for him.

It was this endoresment from IBB and a section of the SMC that made people troop out and vote for Abiola.

The Igbo did not vote for Abiola for reasons best known to them and I know they played a huge part in the annulment and were heavily invested in the Abacha govt and Also rock court that they can not be counted in any way or form part of the call to return to democratic rule and I also know they went as far as rallying support for Abacha's transition to civil rule. That's their kind of dirty selfish politics.

Bolded is crap. In fact, beer parlour gist.

Oladeji245:
ogun. na the worst state for this country.. terrible state

What a joke!

BastardWike:
Owerri is the perfect place you need to stay based on your criteria. The city is beautiful, serene, has an amazing night life, relatively safe, and good power supply in parts of the city like Spibat area. The only drawback is bad roads but you can always take alternative routes that are good. Owerri is just another Abuja on a low budget.

Is Owerri a state?

Jerkules:
u have been a fan since i was born yet u cnt mention the season,weyrey dey disguise

Yenefer:
Buhari just don't want to appoint someone he doesn't know personally. He knows Buratai personally, when he meet him in djemena. Buhari is suffering PTSD Of what IBB and others did to to him. He is protecting himself not Nigerians

Very smart girl. Keep it up.

gregyboy:
Nigga did you skip my writeup up saying it is an overhyped school and yet you still brought the rubbish to me

those people who did the listing have not even seen unibadan physically on real life ground

If nigeria tell the listers unibadan is the best university in nigeria they put it there in thier list, and if they can bribe them anything can go
I see no reason unibadan ahould be in that list at all, no nigeria should be in the list even the university of benin not to say unibadan that thry teach with yoruba

You just made me laugh because you seem to be ignorant.

okeyglm:

Yes, the major shareholder. Assets management company or not, he is the major shareholder of GIP. Gbam.

Dedetwo:
With all the so-called best universities, Yoruba had been unable to bring down the academic record set at University of Ife by an Hausa man.

Does it change the fact on ground?

I am here to give out facts not measuring.....

What academic record? Elucidate me.

gregyboy:
Lol, you all make me laugh, you shouldn't forget you're debating gregyboy

Did you skip my screenshot i guess you did

Unibadan is the best university in nigeria why? Because It has the highest rate of useless professor in nigeria, with useless research that have not benefited nigeria not to say the world
An overhyped media school, that is Unibadan were they teach their student with yoruba, i once had a Yoruba lecturer when she is pronouncing population, she will belike populasion.....

Unibadan is an overhyped useless school which uniben is way better than, if yoruba media stop ovehyping that nonsense school

Ooh you're talking of app created by schools you make me laugh... Creating app for android phone is now an achievement lol ooh nigga please

Lemme shock you, uniben was the first university to successfully do blood transfusion for a sickle cell patients, how about that


Ondo state launch satalite with the help of Japanese and imported materials
First images shows Japanese working with the futa admistrators, on coupling the satalite

But the question is how have the satellite benefited nigerian, or are you saying other universities cant launch their own satalite to space if they want to....
All they need is money and the good brains of Japan
Checkout my second screenshot are you happy now uniben made an eco friendly car

Note: university of benin is the most sort school school for medicine and law, and it is the second most sort university, and sometimes it came out first in most sort schools in nigeria, your brothers from lagos are invading our schools here in benin
They dont want to school in the west


Ok adeboye is popular how about benson idahosa who is the most popular pastor till date in nigeria and around the world, even adobaye popularity is learning despite him been dead after so many years


My cousin went to covenant University all he did was complain about the terrible teaching, infrastructure especially thier unkept toilet and their glorified secondary rules, come to benson idahoss university, reginal daniels would attest for the quality of her school

Are you guys not aware one of your brothers from oyo state debated me with edo state, i made him regret it, i so much disgraced him no Yoruba came for his aid

Read my signature

Even lagos an ancestral edo owned state will trash every other yoruba state hands down


Lagos state will trash every yoruba state hands down nonsense

Why are you antagonizing yourself? You're from Ìjẹ̀bú from your response. I know how you people react to Ẹ̀gbá news. You should calm down ok

How am I antagonizing myself? I just don't want people to point out the loopholes hence the need to correct it quickly to avoid argument.

Onlinesmart:
Thanks for the correction but Elias wasn't the only one though he preceeded Bola Ajibola who was there between 1991-1994 according to Wikipedia. Check for yourself. Wọlé Soyinka sees himself as an Ẹ̀gbá man. There was an interview he granted that he mentioned to have identified more with his maternal side (Ẹ̀gbá).

Bola Ajibola was just a judge. He was not president.

He is still from Isara Remo from a royal family.

Onlinesmart:
Come up with facts and stop beating your hairy chest. Only Abeokuta in ogun state can drown all southeast with achievements.

Abẹ́òkúta achievers

The town alone has 3 people with the GCFR title in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo, Ernest shonekan and (late) MKO Abiola. (this alone has dwarfed all achievements in the east )

The first chief Justice of Nigeria was from Abeokuta.

Fela Anikulapo Kuti (he doesn't need much introduction ) was from Abeokuta.

Funmilayo Kuti (Fela's mum) was the first woman to drive a car in Nigeria.

Nice one but Taslim Elias was the first and only Nigerian to head world court.

Wole Soyinka is from Isara in remo.

If you add others from other parts of Ogun state like Subomi Balogun the founder of FCMB, Chief Mathew Adekoya Okupe the founder of WEMA Bank, Oba Otudeko the owner of Honeywell etc

OfficialAPCNig:
Below is the ranking of top 10 cities in Nigeria by PropertyPro. This ranking is in no particular order according to them.

1. Lagos city
2. Abuja
3. Calabar city
4. Warri city
5. Uyo city
6. Port Harcourt city
7. Kaduna city
8. Akure city
9. Enugu city
10. Jos city

Here is the link to the original article. is the link

So, I've extracted the CAPITAL cities from their list and arrange them in the order of the most beautiful to the least beautiful.

1. Enugu

There is no doubt why the most planned city and the most serene place to train a child in Nigeria shouldn't make the top spot. Only those who have never visited all the listed cities with open mind will argue against this. Perhaps, they should also sue Rockefeller Foundation for naming Enugu in the top 67 most resilient cities in the world.

331 cities from 94 countries applied to be evaluated but Enugu was named in the top 67. According to Rockfeller Fondation during the unveiling ceremony, Enugu is now a model for cities seeking for global resilience.

https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/blog/next-35-resilient-cities-are/

2. Kaduna City

Why shouldn't the most beautiful city in the North and capital of NW make the top 2 position? Nothing.

This is a position well deserved. Only those who have never travelled will argue this.

3. Port Harcourt

Nigeria's oil city sits comfortably in the third position. No Challenge.

4. Uyo

Thanks to Akpabio and Udom, Uyo now sits above Calabar in the 4th position.

5. Calabar

Nigeria's second capital city is one of the most beautiful capital cities in Nigeria but not more beautiful to sit above the 5th position. But it remains the best capital for tourism followed by Enugu.

6. Jos

Jos should have been above this position, no thanks to insecurities. But still, it remains the most beautiful state capital in the North Central.

7. Akure

I am still wondering what Akure is doing here but since I am only ranking capital cities from PropertyPro list, I will allow them to enjoy the undeserved 7th position. That position rightfully belongs to Ikeja.

Note: if you have never travelled outside your state you are not needed here. If you have never visited at least 5 of those capital cities and spend over 3 weeks, you are not needed here. If you have never taken out at least 5 hours to survey how beautiful at least 5 of those cities are, don't argue here.

Abuja remains number one. Followed by Lagos city and Calabar. Enugu should be number 4.
