see the map of Nigeria below and tell me how big is your mushroom SE put together.

Sir... Which school graduated you? Do you have problems with comprehending English terms?, how does large space transcend to better standard of living.

357,386 km² Germany, 242,495 km² United Kingdom and 41,285 km² Switzerland and Nigeria 923,763 km², when you combine all these nations, there landmass isn't close to Nigerian Landmass, but Switzerland with just 41,285km² has a GDP per capital 40 times better than all your empty and unproductive Nigeria.

ipodstinks:
You irrelevant.

You mean you deal on irrelevant things? Like replying mad people on your street, eeeh!

I guess you're a psychiatrist, Doctor for the insane.

You hate madness that your Moniker, starts with IPOB, why not try names like Madder, Maddie, Maddison or Maddon?

ipodstinks:
To tell you you are inconsequential.

So... You invest energy in inconsequential stuffs, Solomon, you're wise.

Brother is any of these pictures shoot in any Eastern state capital? These houses are common in all Western states capital, except Lagos.

ipodstinks:
No one cares here. You and your vote are irrelevant.

If it's irrelevant, why did you reply me?

Ashamed of your region already?

Take another.

Sir... Kindly tell the world one state capital in the East where there are mud houses and I will tell you this for free, without Lagos, built by Nigerian government every other Western capital contains mud houses.

BeautifulMind2:
Ibadan metropolis is 25.5km, Onitsha metro Anambra 1st city is 18.3km Onitsha to Awka state capital is 40.4 km.

Please I've got a question for you? Are you measuring land mass or are we talking about development.

Singapore (278.6 sq mi) is far too small compared to Anambra state in the North, but here GDP is 5 times better than that of Nigeria. Land mass doesn't mean anything if not Sudan would have been world power.

helinues:
Buhari got 5% votes in 2015 from SE, 19% in 2019 and you still never wake up.

Continue ranting as usual online. I guessed all the likes and shares Atiku got on social media have translated to him winning.

I swear, you guys are still baby in politics

I will rather support Atiku, anybody from the North to West

KGD10:
See horrible conical mgbekes buildings without any town planning that Ibo keep boasting about.

The worst of SW is far better than the worst of SE states.

See SE dungholes below.

Igbos did not have normal houses until recently when Yorubas taught you how to build house.Those Yoruba brown roofs were the best houses in Nigeria then.
If I show proofs to you that Igbos did not build anything during the civil war, you will say I hate you.
Askyourself why Igboshave not been as technologically savvy as the Yorubas now that we can verify all technological prowess online.
AS I SPEAK,Yorubas lead technologically in Nigeria and they have some of the best young scentists in the world.They also have the highest number of bet black athematicians in the worldThey have the highest number of profs in Nigeria....the list continues.If you want proofs, I will givecthem to you because it seems you are not so literate or informed not knowing all these..

If Yorubas are most technical in Information technology, name any Yoruba dead or alive who's Tech Company or structure is worth a billion dollars.

Apple buys a Nigerian-owned ICT firm for $1 billion

UNITED States of America’s most celebrated brand, Apple, has bought Nigeria’s Chinedu Echeruo’s HopStop.com. According to The Wall Street Journal’s publication, AllThingsDigital, it informed that though the term of the deal has not been disclosed officially, but HopStop has been compared to Israel’s Waze, which was recently acquired by Google for $1 billion.

You're right Igbos didn't have houses when Yorubas were building houses.

Trust me, Americans, Britains and Indians haven't started building when Yorubas started making houses. Most houses in London where 18 century houses, yet they aren't brown roofs, question! Did Yorubas started building before Britain?

Secondly, In the East people demolish property when they feel it's obsolete. You can keep the whole of Ibadan, Osogbo, Akure, Abeokuta and Ogbomoso as Museum.

mercyville:
The problem is Igboland is tiny and undeveloped.This is Makoko in Lagos.Lagos is tiny and 1000 times developed than the entire Igboland just like Ibadan,another Yoruba city.

Hahaha hah... Young man, let me start by teaching you Social Studies, since you can't didn't do it.

First, we have different types of settlement.

Compact settlements
Semi-compact Settlement
Dispersed Settlement

Yorubas practice, Compact settlement where everybody have to come together, develop a space and cohabit.

The rest of other places are left underdeveloped. Example is Kobape in Ogun state, the indigenous people aren't up to 1000, Benueans (Igede) have out numbered the Yorubas there by ratio of 4:1.
The indigenous village doesn't have more than 15 mud houses inhabited mainly by Cotounues.

Igbos on the other hand practice, Dispersed Settlement. In this type of settlement every clan is allowed to settle down according to her nouns and values. It helps in development.
Example, Nnewi, Oba, Nkpor... Are technique villages, but is more developed than Ogbomoso.

mercyville:
lol

Join Onitsha,Nsugbe,Nsukka and all the tiny towns in SE together,only Ibadan even with its old area is more developed than the entire Igboland

Sorry... Is that why they're numerous unpainted and brown roof houses in Ibadan? The Large space of Nigeria has no nothing to do with advancement in tiny Israel or small European countries.

mercyville:
We all know there are Yorubas in the SE but they are not up to 50,000.
Igbos are more than 5 million in the SW.We have the largest number and the most successful Igbos living in Yorubaland especially Lagos than anywhere in the world even Igboland.
For your spurious claim...read this.
Igboland is developed in its own class but not as developed as Yorubaland even excluding Lagos.


10 Most-Expensive Luxury Real Estate Locations In Nigeria.



Demand for luxury real estate is growing in Nigeria, and so are prices.

Data from PrivateProperty.com.ng, Nigeria’s largest property portal, was used to identify 10 of the most-expensive luxury real estate locations in Nigeria, according to VenturesAfrica.



Buyers of these luxury residences are mainly expatriates and non-residents operating businesses in Nigeria, the report said. Most residents cannot afford properties in these areas.


Nigeria’s capital city, Lagos has four of the 10 most-expensive locations. Abuja has three. Ibadan, Abeokuta and Port Harcourt also made the list with some of the most expensive properties in the country. There are other places in Nigeria with expensive property that are not listed here, the report said.

10. Ibara in Abeokuta (Ogun State) – 80 million naira/$500,000

High prices are forcing many out of the Lagos real estate market, VenturesAfrica reports. Abeokuta’s real estate market is growing fast as people look to outlying locations outside Lagos.

9. Alalubosa GRA in Ibadan (Oyo State) – 100 million naira/$625,000

Ibadan has been regarded by some as the most underdeveloped city in the world, but is started living up to its potential in the past few years.

8. Lekki Scheme I, Lekki (Lagos State) – 140 million naira/$875,000

The island of Lekki has been home to some of the most expensive property in Lagos, but demand for more luxury has pushed it down to No. 8 on this list, the report said. You can buy property for $875,000 in Lekki.

7. GRA Phase 2 in Port Harcourt (Rivers State) – 145 million naira/$906,250

Port Harcourt is home to many expatriates, many of whom work for oil companies in this
oil-rich city. Other buyers here include wealthy individuals who want to keep their money locally.

6. Ikeja GRA, in Ikeja (Lagos State) – 250 million naira/$1,562,500

Ikeja GRA is an integral part of the suburb of Ikeja. The GRA, or government reservation area, was created during the colonial period as a high-end residential area. Many wealthy Nigerians who want the quiet life choose this area and don’t mind paying $1.5 million or more to get it. You’d find several expats here to, VenturesAfrica reports.

5. Nicon Town in Lekki (Lagos State) – 320 million naira/$2,000,000


Nicon Town in Lekki is one of the emerging real estate markets in Lagos, with property costing more than $2 million.

4. Jabi in Abuja (Federal Capital) – 400 million naira/$2,500,000

Nigeria’s capital city comes in at No. 4 with property at Jabi costing at least $2.5
million. Many Nigerian politicians have homes in this area.

3. Asokoro in Abuja (Federal Capital) – 418 million naira/$2,612,500

One of the major districts in Abuja, Asokoro is an upscale area. It is home to the Nigerian Presidential Complex aka State House; Aso Rock (a 400-meter rock monolith and the city’s most noticeable feature); the Economic Community of West African States, (ECOWAS), National Intelligence Agency and the World Health Organization (WHO) office. Residential property is expensive here.

2. Maitama in Abuja (Federal Capital) – 430 million naira /$2,687,500

An area occupied by embassies and high commissions, Maitama ranks No. 2 on this list. Property here can cost $2.7 million or more.


1. Banana Island in Lagos (Lagos State) – 450 million naira ($2.81 million)

A man-made island in the Lagos Lagoon, Banana Island is slightly curved in shape – like a banana. It has one of Nigeria’s highest densities of millionaires within its boundaries, VenturesAfrica reports.

A three-bedroom apartment typically sells for $625,000 on Banana Island and a five-bedroom house can cost $2.81 million. Due to the cost of property, rentals are popular here. Rent for a three-bedroom apartment can go as high as $63,000 per year.

Banana Island residents include billionaire Mike Adenuga, chairman of Globacom; and Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of a former Nigerian president.
Other notable island residents include offspring of famous Nigerians including Kola Abiola, son of the popular late businessman Moshood Kashimawo Olawale “MKO” Abiola; and Saayu Dantata, son of the late Alhassan Dantata, a Northern Nigerian kola nut seller and considered the wealthiest man in West Africa at the time of his death in 1955.

Sir... Yorubas didn't build Lagos. Nigeria as a nation built it as her capital. From the roads to Airports, Seaports and bridges. I challenge you to tell us what infrastructures Lagos had before spending Oil money on it.


I challenge you too to name other Western states with such infrastructure like Lagos.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
I wanna disagree on a point u raised..
PS = I be ezigbo nwafor Igbo 4rm 042 before una go tag me afonja and discredit my input.

Point 15! I think University of Ibadan lead d way in terms of influential alumni in Nigeria..
UNN coming second. In the academia they trump Unn.

They have people like Adiele Eberechukwu Afigbo d first person to receive a doctoral degree in Nigerian university. Chinua Achebe,, we know how many international awards he won just on his novel @ Things Fall Apart....Christopher Okigbo an extraordinary poet cum soldier. Wole Soyinka..first African to bag the Noble Price in Literature. Elechi Amadi,, Chukwuemeka Ike.
Grace Alele Williams... She was the first Nigerian woman to obtain a doctoral degree and also first Nigerian woman to become a vice chancellor in a Nigerian university.

What about Unizik VC Professor J. E Ahaneku.. Professor Joseph Eberendu Ahaneku is the youngest African to bag PhD in Chemical Pathology @ d age of 28 and youngest African to bag Professor of Chemical Pathology @ d age of 35.
Their alumni were almost the first Nigerian or African to record whatever achievement they achieved in their Profession or discipline.

Among all the politicians d Den(UNN) produced none was more influential than James Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo(Jim Nwobodo) first executive governor of Anambra state 1979.

I totally agree with you in other ones.. You did a nice job.

This is what we call intellectual. Thanks for teaching us. I'm impressed, not shouting with red oil in the brain.

mercyville:
lol
Onitsha is not up to 3 GRAs in Ibadan and Ibadan only is more developed than the entire Igboland.
Facts and pictures do not lie.
These are what we call multi- storey buildings and Igboland does not have even just one.

Hahaha hah ah... If you don't know please ask. Onitsha, Oba, Nkpor, Obosi, Nnewi, Nsugbe, etc are villages ordinarily, but they're too developed more than Abeokuta, Akure, Osogbo these are your capital.


Without the help of Federal Government, making Lagos the capital of Nigeria, thereby gifting it bridges, Airport, Seaport, Railway and roads, it will still look like Abeokuta with mud houses.

That had ben disputed so many times on NL unless if you are new here. If I provide the link, walahi you no go respond again.. So let me save my energy.

Please I wish to have the link. I'm speaking in authority, you can't beat those names.


Just like Nigeria boosting of having more intellectuals than America.

helinues:
Cos you guys cant stand in the kitchen when the heat is unbearable..

Uncle... Since you were leading prove it with globally distinguished scholars, according to you, we're playing catch-up, show us what you made of Awolowo free education.

helinues:
Jesu... Are you guys sure there are still some fats in your chest? Una don beat am tired

Thought you said you're were leading,with facts now you aren't leading again.

meccuno:
dude.............i am IGBO.

Nations promote and boost of their achievements, just like Chinese and American. So... What's your point

helinues:
Where were you guys when SW took the lead for years if not decades? We didn't make noise about it now.

Should we say you guys are just catching up with SW?

Well, you guys are known for chest beating for nothing

Wake up! You didn't lead anything in Education, after Nigeria /Biafran war, we had to start from the bottom again.

I challenge you to bring names that can match these global academicians from your long led education system.

1. Ngozi Okonjo
2. Arunma Oteh- World Bank vice president
3. Phillip Emeagwalim
4. Chimamanda Adichie
5. Soludo Chukwuma
6. Chile Eboe-Osuji International Criminal Court / President


We have the highest number of graduates, doctorates and professors in Nigeria.

Gforce2019:
All these your lopsidedness achievement.... only God will open your eyes to the reality....

Lagosian are saying, create your own lagos in your region, you can't.. you are listings some horrible achievement..

Sir... Yorubas didn't build Lagos. Nigeria as a nation built it as her capital. From the roads to Airports, Seaports and bridges. I challenge you to tell us what infrastructures Lagos had before spending Oil money on it.


I challenge you too to name other Western states with such infrastructure like Lagos.

IbrahimDamola:
are the Igbos comparing themselves with you? Abi are you suffering from inferiority complex?

Respect Sir.

kayfra:
Where is that damned Dubai in SE picture when one needs it?


Let me also help you revive your supreme economic prowess. You own Lagos IGR and Anambra IGR is greater than all SW IGR that isn't Lagos combined. You now own 116.4% of Abuja lands and 96.54% of Kano. You are the only landlords in the entire black race and almost edging out asians in intellect

Why sound angry? Counter them with points and facts, there are selling their area of strength.

meccuno:
inferiority complex
noun
an unrealistic feeling of general inadequacy caused by actual or supposed inferiority in one sphere, sometimes marked by aggressive behaviour in compensation. and we leave this for you.

When the West was leading in education, didn't you boost of it?, why won't a people promote their area of strength. Just like saying American is boosting for saying there are world power.

Chikpat:
"Take away education", what you said applies to the South as well.
Small, medium and large scale businesses all depend on government policies for their growth and prosperity. Anybody who claims to have made money with givernment policies in isolation is clearly a dishonest thief. Policies drive economies to prosperity and growth and from my assessment of your ideology, you should know!

You may not understand, but let me give you a little insight. Dangote has a private jettery, he enjoyes waiver in his products, who among other Cement giants enjoys all these benefits?

OhiOfIhima:
The total registered voters in the cancelled areas exceeded the total margin between the two main oppositions party which lead to inconclusive of that election.. INEC will set up another date for a supplementary election to rescheduled.

In River state? Chai! Tell me another story.

authehighness:
i think,we the igbos are complaining too much,even when,we know what God has done and is still doing for us since the world ended,our recovering is miraculous,i have been and even live in some northern part of nigeria,their sufferings are numerous,sickness,poverty,illitreacy and hopeless youths,even for years now those that fought against us during the civil war,are being killed on daily basis,their women raped without them knowing when it will end,it is time for us to stop complaining and learn how to appreciate God

We're voicing our history, I've never read this story before now. History is important. I will always love Chinua Achebe "There was a Country".

Chikpat:
The head quaters of poverty is adjudged to be the North because of their explosive population tendency. With thier poverty, they still control and lord over the regions adjudged to be the headquarters of wealth. The saving grace for now is that the almajiri boys are not in school. The day they all get education, the south is completely finished.
Nevertheless, the richest boys in Nigeria/Africa are still from the same North oooo.
With the level of industry, resilience, smart jobs dkne in the south, no souther can claim to be "the highest employer of labour after government". I dont know how much this sinks

Please speak with education in line. Do the North have more population than Brazil, China, India? It's a group of unproductive individuals.

Secondly, rich in the Noth are mostly government stolen wealth, or government Induced money.

I challenge you to mention 5 mega industrialists from the North outside Oil and government policy assisted individual.

OhiOfIhima:
There have never been anything like Federal mighty.... Baba has no business in anything transpired in the States election. Some well to do nothing are just using his name to gain empathy like Yahaya Bello of Kogi state.. The result coming across the country show people mandates has been used judiciously..


Any States where the Inec choose to follow his guidelines to ensure equity n transparency, don't cry foul...

The election is more than fair..

Kudos to you PMB.

What's happening in Kano and Rivers?

Chikpat:
Igbos need APC. It is APC that has shown they dont need Igbos and it is only a miracle will make an Igbo man president in this country.
Igbos love PDP, a party that does not love them and has nothing to show for the blind support Igbos always give them

If Igbos were "foolish", they would support PDP and APC equally like the Yorubas did in this election. But the "wise" people of IPOB have their own way of relegating themselves to playing the second fiddle while crying marginalisation here and there.

"Wise people of Biafra" who think it is easier to have a referendum for their independence than to support Buhari's presidency and make fair negotiations for power. "Wise" people who fail to support a herdsman to rule four more years but give their wwhole support to another herdsman to rule 8 more years. By the time APC finishes sharing jobs/power, it will dawn on the "wise people of Biafra" that they are again "holding the wrong end of the stick"

Fvck ohaneze for endorsing Atiku!
Fvck Igbo govs for endorsing Atiku!
Fvck Igbos for rigging the presidential elections for Atiku!
The greatest fvck goes to the renowned thief who decieved Igbos in this election and stil failed...his own region like others will be remembered in power/jobs sharing while the "wise igbos" will be wailling again
Fvck him big time.
And if you come here to support their nonsense, fvck you too

What's power without emancipation? We don't need power if it doesn't transcend into societal improvement. We don't want power for Intimidation or sheer show of it, but to improve lives.


North is the headquarters of poverty with all the power, so...
