You will notice only Ibadan/lag are the only popular cities in South West,

Stop lying

Where is Ikeja, Lekki etc? SE?

Unfortunately, SW don’t have village like those places mention. Except you want me to mention towns.
That we call them villages doesn't necessarily mean they're villages in the strict sense of it. Many of them are already towns so yes, go ahead and name any Yoruba town/village that can compare with those Igbo towns I listed.

Saying that Awolowo contributed to the development of Lagos is crap, because Michael Okpara also contributed to the development of P.H and that city is owned by an Igbo speaking tribe yet you don't see us throwing it into the mix.

Forget Lagos, it's a national heritage developed by all.

it's not something of much argument........ East has upper hand in this case 100%.


East has more cities

unless if Lagos is among what we are comparing, but if not...... juxtapositioning of east cities to West cities........ The east has it more. And even more developed
SW
1 Lagos
2. Ikeja
3. Lekki
4. Ibadan
5. Abeokuta
6. Oshogbo
7. Akure
8. Eko Atlantic
9. Ado Ekiti
10. Ota
11. Mowe ( RCCG camp)
12. Ijebu-Ode
13. Sagamu
14. Ilesa
15. Ondo
16. Ogbomoso
17. Ikorodu
18. Badagry

SE
1. Owerri
2. Enugu
3. Umuahia
4. Onitsha
5. Abakaliki
6. Awka
7. Aba

That’s all that qualifies as city in SE. I may be wrong but show me.

Ikeja is the capital of Lagos State. It’s not Lagos city.

If you don’t know anything you can just learn today. Lagos is different from Lagos State.

We have many cities within Lagos State. Ikeja and Lekki are one of them. Do you understand?

I asked you to name towns/villages in Yorubaland that can remotely compare with Oguta, Abiriba or Udi, but you failed to do that which means you have non!

Yet you keep dancing around Lagos as if without Lagos nothing else exists in the SW. Now, I ask you, what is the difference between Abuja and FCT?

I'm done with you abeg, it's obvious you've lost the argument. Next please!

This is undebatable.

Southwest is far more urbanised than the South East..

The question of urbanisation isn’t a claim of superiority of one zone over the other.
Ndigbo are known to be more attached to their villages.

Abia- Umuahia & Abba
Anambra - Awka, Nnewi & Onitsha
Ebonyi - Abakaliki & Afikpo
Enugu - Enugu & Nsukka
Imo- Oweri & Orlu

Ekiti - Ado Ekiti, Ikere Ekiti
Ogun- Abeokuta, Ijebu Ode, Ota
Ondo - Akure, Ondo, Owo
Osun- Osogbo, Ife, Ilesha
Oyo- Ibadan, Ogbomoso, Oyo,

All the things they call cities in SW cannot be called town in SE and what we call villages in SE is what they glorify as mega cities in SW.

You have to understand the difference between our standards and theirs.
Sometimes I blame our people for looking down on ourselves.

Look at this Akure below, if it was in SE would anybody call it a town talkless of City?
It is a capital oh, now imagine how all those things he listed would look like

Lagos belongs to SW and it consist of many cities. You can cry about that.

Ife, Iperu, etc are far more developed than those villages.

Those ones na Cities?

Lol, Nigercity I've been to all those places and believe me apart from Offa in Kwara, they are what we call ancient villages in SE.

Or is it because of the new empty main road in Owo that it turned to a city?

Onitsha YES
Enugu. YES
Aba YES
Owerri. YES
Abakaliki is just Afikpo and Nsugbe environs (whole of Abakaliki is not even up to a local government in some states . ( Only eateries and few hotels , no companies or factories )
There is no strip club in the whole of Abakaliki or major factory
Nsukka on the other hand is just UNN .
Remove UNN from Nsukka and you only have peace park remaining .
Comparing Ibadan with almost same land mass with the south east is not a fair argument to me
