Patiently waiting

Still neighbourhoods which also defines the standard of living in the east.


I havent seen extreme poverty in the east as it is seen in the west and north.

The poor mans neighbourhood west

The poor mans neighbourhood East

Vicotex2:
It's a fact that they are similar to the pigs, even Oduduwa knows that this is an undeniable fact/

Please dont derail my thread. I dont intend for a fight.

happybrother:
when will this tribal misunderstanding end? Do Apple gain anything from fighting in Nairaland?
God help Nigeria's youth.

Please dont get my intentions wrong.

I just want to clear an impression and not for fight or contest.

From the two post above, you will notice that slums in the east is not totally a slum. It is a result of governance and not individual poverty or lack of personal hygiene.

In the southeast pix, you will notice that there are still modern buildings at the background. Just imagine if those road where fixed.

Compare it to that in a pix below which is of the west and having a fixed road but still the enviroment is still dirty and filty

You cant see such level of filth in the east.

Just imagine this kinds of

Now check out a slum in the east

Take for example this pix of a slum neighbourhood in the west


I will post that of the east too

Correcting the impression of what a slum is like in the East and in the West


The slum in the West is as a result of individual poverty and lack if personal hygiene

But that of the East is due to government neglect and not extreme poverty.


The kind of slum in the West cannot be found in anywhere in the east not even in the villages.


Note this is not for diick measuring but to correct the impression people of both region have about slums in their separate region

pyyxxaro:
Most Biafrans won't be happy to hear this



Abeg make una nor attack me for this post o

Na joke I de o

This is how you invite unwanted guest to your thread and when they start you start crying

BTW, I once heard of a people who chase rat when they house is burning.


Your cities and towns are begging for attention, yet you want to build one in far away land. I hope you guys dont cry when igbos say Lagos is a no mans land and also dont threaten to size their property when they leave for biafra unless you are ready to forfeit your village and other properties all round the world too. I hope you dont intend to build a slum there too

mandax:
Continue to ask: why does Imo state government believe it amounts to doing favour to only Orlu people if the state government dredged and tarred the urban roads in Orlu, most of the roads have been fully built-up with houses?

Well lets not talk about imo stategovt here. You can open a thread for that and direct your questions to berem

vicadex07:
It shall not be well with you if you don't quote a single post of mine on that thread. I think you have started seeing me in your nightmares.

I know what you're trying to do. You're subtly trying to divert peoples attention to that thread cos of inferiority complex generated from seeing pics on this thread. Where you have failed is that, that thread is about the whole of south east.

So go ahead, compare the whole of south east to Oyo State and still you guys won't measure up.

Finally, if you don't post a single comment of mine on that thread here, you are a bastarrd.

Well I can understand your frustration. Apologies for linking you to that thread but I insist you invited all the attacks both directly and indirectly.

Btw it shall be well with you but you have to learn not to let people get to you. Even if they do at all, be a man anf hide it

Blizzle:
I honestly see no reason why a thread created without any tribal prejudice, highlighting the contrast between the beautiful ancient brown rooftops and the sprawling new development taking place in one of the largest cities in Africa, IBADAN should be derailed by ethnic bigots.

It's clear that the OP had no malicious intent to any ethnic group when he created the thread. I'm sure it was purely meant to be an educative n enlightening thread to introduce/reintroduce the city to Nairalanders.

I therefore wonder why some people who are obviously intelligence jaundiced, myopic and plain silly decided to start hauling insults at the inhabitants of the city and their ethnicity.

@vicadex07, good job man. But next time please don't join issues with all these Internet gangsters and social nincompoops who don't see anything good in others.

You dont need to defend an idiiot except you want to be seen as an idiiot too

Check out his sins on this thread. I guess they are hunting him now. You dont expect such a foolish ediot's thread to have peace with all his baggages in other peoples thread. Btw he was the first to attack the igbos on his thread which is as a result of the humiliation he receive on a previous similar igbo thread.

Goto biafran threads, you will notice that they are all quick to attack and attribute their woes to Yoruba people, hence my assertion.

Besides, Yoruba has no major qualms with anoy other tribe in Nigeria except the Igbos

As you were disgraced here which forced you to open yours in annoyance and defence

tearoses:
Okay I have heard your argument
The West is poor and the East is rich
What next?
Does that change anything for you and me?
Some arguments are not even worth it
The rich get richer and the poor poorer
Instead of us to fight for a better life for everybody
It is well
Im late for work
Have a good day

Have a good day too, you have been the only sensible poster from the other side. Peace

Healthy looking villagers

I dont get your argument
I thought that people are talking about Ibadan and the fact that there are people living in poverty
Are there no people living in poverty in any other of the big cities in Nigeria?

Yesterday I saw a picture of a house in Lagos where 2 women fought and bit themselves.
Ive seen slums in isale eko . . .the same isale eko that is a stones throw from posh mansions.

I dont understand the argument
What I am seeing is typical of ALL states in Nigeria
I live in Akobo. In between Akobo and Akala way (stone throw) there are slums at bodija ojurin.

You will always get that in Old cities
In new planned cities this wont happen.
You wont find a slum in the middle of Suncity Estate in Abuja

The point am making is that the East does not have slums as you have in the West which is as a result of poverty and lack of personal hygiene.

The slums you see in the East(that is if at all we agree they are slums) are as a result of government neglect eg bad roads or littered refused dump but not due to individual poverty.


Stop using your perception of slum and poverty in the West to perceive the East because you will be getting the wrong picture.

IGBOS ARE NOT POOR, THEY COMMAND THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF LIVING BOTH HOME AND ABROAD.

More of village pictures

I see somebody doubting emmy is a village girl who has never travelled out of the village

Village people even look healthier than all your ewo road slum dwellers

What is the argument about again?

The rich will live in nice houses in nice areas and the poor will live in overcrowded and substadard buildings . .

Is this not the same with every single state in Nigeria?

Does every state not have slums and posh areas?

I ask what is the argument again?

Now last go to the village. Orlu as case study

Yea u right but this is it

In the SW. You have the rich, upper middle class, lower middle class, the averagely poor and the extremely poor

But in the SE, you have the rich, upper middle class, lower middle class and the avergely poor.

The extremely poor can only be found in the deep villages and they are minor because even in the villages they have a high standard of living. you dont find people living in mud houses in the village.

Mind you the cost of living in the SE/SS is second to none in the country


Its hard you believe but drive down to the East if you can

Ok yes I can see brown roof now

Pix 3 a fast growing street in enugu...

vicadex07:
Igbos take pride in chest beating and boasting about their meagre achievements. We have thousands of this your so called neighborhoods scattered all over Ibadan and not just clustered in one location.

Please stop repeating pictures.its becoming irritating.

We dont post photo shopped or editted pictures but live and raw pictures ;

Live from Enugu..Tell me if you see rusty roofs

Igbos take pride in what the ordinary man has achieve for himself.


These are hoods in Enugu.

juicee1


if the people living in ibadan are really poor as you want us to believe, no one will be interested in building businesses of the magnitude mentioned above cos no one will patronise them. Do you want us to stop posting pictures of those places? Are you trying to minus that from our achievements?

Majority of those living in the brown roof houses have grown up children doing well abroad. Most professionals and made men have their roots in those buildings and are still proud. Imagine yourself eating amala and hot ewedu soup laced with egufe while listening to ebenezer obey, you'll love being culturally yoruba. You won't understand.

Imagine one boy posting shopping complex where they sell clothes as a shopping MALL in enugu. Even menacaboo or whatever couldn't buttress his point with pix and links of enugu having more Malls than ibadan, whereas ibadan boys have done theirs.





All I see is pure jealousy. They never expected to see ibadan in a different form from what chino11 fed them.

Well to let you know. Enugu has for all I know has 3 standard malls, polo park mall anf Roban stores having two branches.

Also know that after lagos, the next state to have a standard mall in Nigeria is Enugu hence enugu had shoprite before ibadan and portharcourt.

Also know that Roban stores is an indigenous mall and it was established before polo park which houses shoprite.


Anambra alone is building three malls.


In the south east, we have several malls which may not be as big as ICM or lekki mall or polo park but they offer the same services and note you they are indigenous. Owerri, Aba, Onitsha,Asaba and Enugu has many of such. Some even call theirs PLAZA.


BTW name one mall indigenous to yorubas
