Politics › Re: Buhari At The 4th Africa-arab Summit In Malabo (Photos) by Ovokoo: 7:25pm On Nov 23, 2016
I don't know why anything that has to do with the Arab world excites Buhari. This is something he could easily have sent someone to represent him. He mustn't attend every darn occasion. he seems more interested in what happens outside the country than inside the country he was elected to govern.

This is how they kill people for nothing. I don't know how someone can be drunk and holding a gun at the same time. That guy is really lucky to be telling the story. Some people were not so lucky.

They usually state their admission requirements for both undergraduate and graduate students. If it's not that important then they will likely state it there. You can also contact them by email to confirm or wait for people on here who have gone through the same process.

Family › 5 Reasons Why Nigerian Men Marry Late by Ovokoo(op): 2:57pm On Nov 20, 2016
There is a growing trend among Nigerian men and that is the fact that they tend to marry late compared to when their parents go married. Here are reasons believed to be responsible for this new trend of late marriage among Nigerian men.

http://ovoko.com.ng/5-reasons-nigerian-men-marry-late/

1. Bride price
One of the reasons men marry late is that they are afraid of the demands that they will have to meet up to when it's time to pay the dowry. It is no news that dowry has become a way for some families to make money off prospective In-laws. Some demand as much as 1 million both in cash and material things. So, some men will rather wait till they think they are financially capable of meeting up to the demands.

2. End to Bachelorhood
Getting married to one woman is tantamount to having a cable network with an option to watch only one channel. This is why some men hesitate to get married as it will hinder their escapades with other women. So, they want to have all the fun they can have before thinking of marriage.

3. They will be tied Down
Apart from fact that marriage ties men to one woman. A lot of men are jittery towards marriage as it may mean that they won't be able to do things they used to do. Like hanging out with the guys and flexing around town.

4. Lavish Weddings
We are at a time when throwing lavish weddings is a sign of future marital bliss. So, everyone doesn't want to be the odd one out. We all want that wedding of our dreams coupled with the pressure from our intending bride. So, men will wait till they have made the kind of money that can make them have their wedding in the sky. Lol.

5. Finding the right one
He who finds a good wife, finds a good think. That's a popular saying that a lot of men take very seriously. They don't want to go into a marriage where they will regret all their lives. That is why they want to marry the right woman even if it means waiting a long time to do so, they will.

Travel › 10 Most Urbanized States In Nigeria - Ovoko.com by Ovokoo(op): 11:40am On Nov 16, 2016
Here is a list of states in Nigeria that are highly urbanized beyond the state capital or the largest city.

http://ovoko.com.ng/10-most-urbanized-states-in-nigeria/

10. Kaduna
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45771285/Ovoko/kaduna-state.jpg
Kaduna state is probably the most urbanized state up north. The former capital of Northern region can boast of Kaduna which is the capital as well as Zaria, Kachia and other places.


9. Oyo
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45771285/Ovoko/oyo-state.jpg
Not only is Oyo state highly urbanized but its cities are also large and highly populated. Apart from Ibadan which is reputed as the largest city in Nigeria in land mass, the state also boast of towns such as Oyo, Ogbomoso and smaller towns which includes Shaki, Iseyin and Igbo ora.

8. Akwa Ibom
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45771285/Ovoko/akwa-ibom.jpg
The oil rich state of Akwa Ibom does not play with its towns as it can boast of Uyo which is the state capital and also a contender of the most beautiful city in Nigeria. It also boast of smaller towns such as Eket, Ikot Ekpene and Oron.


7. Abia
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45771285/Ovoko/abia-state.jpg
Abia state is home to the industrial and commercial city of Aba. Apart from this famous city, Aba boast of Umuahia which is the state capital as well as other smaller towns such as Arochukwu, Ohafia and Bende.

6. Ogun
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45771285/Ovoko/ogun-state.jpg
Ogun state has been growing in leaps and bounds owing to its close proximity in Lagos. Ogun state can boast of things that other states except Lagos and Abuja cannot boast of. Apart from Abeokuta which is the state capital, other towns have held their own in different parts of the state. Some notable mentions include Ijebu Ode, Sagamu and Sango Otta which due to its close proximity to Nigeria’s economic capital, probably houses the largest industrial estate in Nigeria. The lagos/Ibadan axis of the state is also another place waiting to explode as it has seen a monumental migration of powerful religious centers and an upsurge of residential estates.


5. Rivers
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45771285/Ovoko/rivers-state.jpg
The reason is because Port-hacourt is miles ahead of other town in the state but when you look outside the state, you will come to appreciate some of the other cities that Rivers state boast of which are more urbanized and wealthy than some state capitals. The likes of Omoku, Bonny Island, opobo, Khana , Okrika, Ahoada and smaller towns like Okwuzi/Mgbede are also pulling their weight.

4. Delta
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45771285/Ovoko/delta-state.jpg
The oil state is usually referred to as a mini Nigeria owing to the conglomeration of diverse ethnic groups in the state. These groups are also proud of their respective homeland and have made it something to be proud of. There are cities and mini cities scattered all over the state. From Warri, which is the economic capital to Asaba which is the political capital. Other smaller cities such as Agbor, Ughelii, Sapele are also holding their own.

3. Anambra
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45771285/Ovoko/anambra-state.jpg
Anambra state is the third on our list because of the fact that it houses the commercial capital of the east, the automobile capital of Nigeria as well as the state capital. Beyond Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka, other smaller towns such as Ihiala, Ekwulobia, Obosi, Oba, Aguata, Nkpor etc are relatively urbanized.

2. Abuja
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45771285/Ovoko/abuja.jpg
Abuja is Nigeria’s political capital and it has come to be a competition for Lagos state. Abuja is the second most urbanized state/territory after Lagos as it boast of development and economic activity in every nook and cranny of the capital. Popular places in Abuja are Wuse, Maitama, Garki, Gudu and so many more.

1. Lagos
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45771285/Ovoko/lagos-state.jpg
Lagos is by far the most urbanized and economic capital of Nigeria. It is the only conurbation that exists in the whole of Nigeria. With every city in Lagos merging together to form a megapolis. Every part of the state/city is urbanized but popular cities in Lagos includes Ikeja, Lagos Island, Osodi, Amuwo odofin, Alimosho, Iyana Ipaja, badagry amongst others.

This is something we don't see in Nigeria. We don't value beauty in this parts. Never knew a flyover could be this beautiful in black Africa.

It's also a shame that Ghana has just taken thie title of the longest flyover from us. I guess we have to go back to the "Giant of Africa" rhetoric.
