Ihala is really developing

KwuoteYourFada:
A state with economy more than 100 countries in Africa

Yoruba hype

PressMyButton:
Show me one financial institution in the world that won't gladly give loan to Lagos, simply put, Lagos has huge revenue power to draw finances, Abia is at the bottom of the chain.

Oga stop shifting the goal posts here!
We are talking about cosmopolitan here
Go to Cameroon Barracks in Aba, alot of Cameroonians who fled the ambazobia war are residing in ABA, not just them but other Africa countries citizens from niger, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana Burkina Faso e.t.c
Go and verify the have warehouses there unlike your Yoruba people that's only selling agbo there!

In Ibadan except Lebanese and Chinese, citizens of other countries are not residing in Ibadan, meaning ABA and onistha are more cosmopolitan than south west expect Lagos axis
Because even the Chinese and Lebanese are also found in onistha and Aba!
Remember south Africa firm where the ones who wanted to remodel Ariaria before the Chinese started doing it!
. focus on the subject
Don't shift the goal posts
Except Lagos axis
South West is by far less cosmopolitan

Yoruba people and media lie lie

PressMyButton:
What is Aba?, you guys should stop clowning. Otti is about to borrow 400billion to finance the budget, projected revenue is a mere 160billion for a year. Pls, stop clowning.

Oga shut the Bleep up
Lagos is owing in trillions

Now tell me
What's the meaning of cosmopolitan let's start from there?
Abeokuta Akure and ado Ekiti
Can't even lace the shoes of Nnewi In being cosmopolitan!
Except Lebanese and Chinese, citizens of other countries are not residing in Ibadan, meaning ABA and onistha are more cosmopolitan than south west expect Lagos axis

Onistha

Too bad
Lagos has more bad road
Than every African city!
Closely followed by Ogun then kogi

To think that Lagos
Was the fct before

Lagos road too bad

The number of bad road In Lagos alone is bigger than they number of bad road in all states put together excluding Ogun (ogun itself doesn't even have roads)

Lagos and Ogun
Has the most bad roads in Nigeria, some local government areas in Lagos like alimosho can't even boost of two tarred road

PressMyButton:
With due respect, i have been to the SE and there's nowhere near a cosmopolitan city..none.

keep deceiving yourselves
You have been to no where!

ewedu boy
Where exactly have you been in the south east,
Onistha and Aba are more Cosmopolitan than Abeokuta, Akure, the nonsense ado Ekiti et.al

Nowhere except Lagos can lace the shoes of pH!

PressMyButton:
Pretty much everybody is back home having a blast, there are lots of fun, catching up with friends and families, different kinds of ceremonies all lined up at this festive period. However thrilling it might feel, it's nothing compared to making your home a home and not a guest house. The prevaling economic, social, territorial and regional realities throws a huge challenge to igbos to build a commercial center in the southeast. Almost 90% of the wealth transfered back home this December comes from outside. The fact remains that wealth is not distributed through crumbs sprinkling but by proper deliberate investments. The crumbs you take back home every year ending is unstainable to the development of the region. Several decades after, Igbos should be aggressive in replicating a Lagos, PH, Delta, or Kano in the southeast to boost sustainability. Would igbos ever challenge themselves to build home and attract investors than rushing down to catch the next bus going to other regions at the begining of a new year.

Oga shut the Bleep up
First what did you mean by cosmopolitan city
Because the last I checked onistha has almost joined with Owerri, in less than 50 years from now the would be referred as one city!
Let's come to ABA
There are alot of foreigners especially Cameroonians, people from Niger, and other Africa countries leaving in ABA!

So your point exactly?
Except Lebanese and Chinese, citizens of other countries are not residing in Ibadan, meaning ABA and onistha are more cosmopolitan than south west expect Lagos axis

jimyjames:
So speaking igbo in government house is the problem ?

Nope
Fairness!
Since 1999
Only Igbo speaking part of rivers State have been ruling the state

Nigercity:
Because the ijaws,andoni, kalabari, and Every other groups in rivers state desvers a voice! And a shot at the government House!
I know most Igbo speaking part of rivers felt that the ijaws marginalized them, in the old rivers state before majority of them where carved out to become Bayesla! But that shouldn't be the reason why the igbo speaking part of rivers should be keeping the governorship to themselves alone, (this is what amaechi has been shouting!)
Imagine wike who has alot of ijaw supporters! Couldn't pick any of them, or support Lulu Briggs

He went and pick an opobo man
So that both of them can continue speaking Igbo in rivers government House !
Is just unfair
SIM fubara who claimed to be ijaw, should have been asked to give a speech or make a little sentences or statement in ijaw,
The only two African language he knows how to speak is central Igbo, and Abia state ndoki igbo dialect

Despite him being from opobo, just because of his name not being Igbo, wike still didn't trust him! Wike went ahead and appointment SIM's deputy governor from igbo speaking part of rivers, not just the deputy governor, almost all the commissioner wike used in surrounding fubara! Where from etche, ikwerre, ndoki,omuku (infact all Igbo speaking part of rivers)
Check the names of those who resigned, during wike/sim issue

jimyjames:
Why are you mentioning igbo up and down here?

Because the ijaws,andoni, kalabari, and Every other groups in rivers state desvers a voice! And a shot at the government House!

The only two African language he knows how to speak is central Igbo, and Abia state ndoki igbo dialect

Truth is the Igbo part of river state have been marginalizing other parts of rivers state
If we are being honest here, since 1999
Igbo has been the only language spoken in rivers state government House, amaechi who said he is an Igbo man, tried to correct this thing after his tenure but dame Jonathan supported wike, who claimed he was not Igbo and he got support from both the riverine areas in rivers and other parts of rivers, then after his tenure he supported and opobo/ibani man (opobo/bonny a town where Igbo language is the most spoken language with little, I mean very little ibani spoken) and made another igbo woman! Ngozi they deputy governor! Haba
The ijaws kicked against this, go to Facebook
Some even called the governor fake ijaw (because opobo is a mixed town founded by king jaja from imo state,and few ijaws), that the need a pure real, ijaw/ kalabari man to be governor!
But wike played a smart card as usual an his successor, SIM who can't even speak ijaw by any means (the only language he knows how to speak is the same exactly Igbo dialect spoken in Abia state!) Check all his campaign video!
Yet as usual, he played the I am not igbo card and presenting his name as evidence!
He even got support from IYC, when he hard a fall out With wike! (Who where initially against him!)

Only god knows when a true ijaw man or other tribes in rivers state (non-igbo speakers) would be allowed to govern the state and take it to greater heights!
Trust the present governor to hand over the state to an etche or ndoki after his tenure! And claim that the ijaws have completed 8 years! And trust the next incoming governor to play the am not Igbo card and win again and again, they cycle continuous

...

Lies lies😂🤣🤣
Rivers state, imo and Edo should be among first 5
This is the headquarters of internet fraud, in Nigeria!
So the should have more internet

walefresh3:
are u ready for the show down...
How could you compare a region with beautiful look and development like dis with sad eastern region... Abeg which kind igbo u dey smoke ?

Metcheew!
Why showing pictures of Lagos and ogun under Lagos metropolis?
Is this highness?
Is Lagos the only state in South West?
Abeg you people should leave Lagos and to rest
It's a collective effort!

walefresh3:
pictures don't lie... Sw look far Developed than sadeast... Take it to the bank.... stop saying rubbish... I . Married a beautiful lady from your tribe... Your look too primitive to be call a city except enugu and owerri in the whole of se

Ibadan looks more primitive than abaiklki,
Unless you haven't been to both!
Moreover no place in the whole of ondo, Ekiti, osun , Abeokuta e.t.c Can't lace they shoes of Aba, and onistha in terms of beauty?
Do I need to remind you that Asaba is still proudly igboland (beauty choke)! (Check all there Facebook page)!

Talking about pictures !
For all pictures I have seen on all social media, south west looks more primitive! Than all part of Nigeria!
South West is actually a brown roof jungle!
The only thing you can boost of in South West is Lagos
Which is a collective effort!

mbos:
dont mind these evil agents sent to bring disunity among the blessed people. he must be one of those uncircumcised unworthy elements

Yeah

Omoawoke2:
If we count the total number of the most beautiful houses in southeast. I mean everything all together and have a single number for it. Let’s make an assumption, if we count the most sophisticated properties in the entire southeast including Aba, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu and let’s assume we arrive at 100,000.
That 100,000 is not enough to fit into Ibadan alone.

your are such a f >:l
This foolishness of a thing no body sabi am pass you😂🤣😂🤣
You first said that Yoruba owns manufacturing companies in Nigeria 🤣😂I even rolled on the floor reading that, even Hausa pipo get manufacturing company pass Una
Even one of your Yoruba kings was complaining about it, openly few Years ago! Saying that your people are lacking behind in manufacturing! I know you Saw the letter he wrote
It trended!

Now you said counting all fine fine House, in a region dominated with exotic houses should be 100,000 (do you mean Nnewi alone or oba alone) because the last time I checked onistha is almost being built up down to Owerri and in less than 20 years from now, the would be classified as one city! (Use Google map and verify! Technology has made things easier) The distance of that metropolis is more than 3 times the size of Lagos landmass!
Anyway continue the augrement
Please don't quote me
I won't reply 😂😃
I like you biko
Your stupidity dey entertain me for here!

It's not
Every years report from all reliable sources indicate that
Nairaland is not even in top 7
Goggle it
Unfortunately what dominate the list are bet platforms and phonographic websites!

Aba pictures cont'd
