The Yoruba fascinations about LAGOS or Ibadan is a costly development strategy I think.

The Yoruba are not developing their rural areas at all,they are fixated on only the cities.

This attitude is even reflected in Lagos were the more traditional Yoruba areas are neglected while the city proper is constantly developing.

The Yoruba have this attitude of copying the Europeans alot which is a big weakness in my opinion. They want to be like the whitemans, have big cities,but they struggling to achieve it which is costing them a heavy and serious neglect of their rural areas.This is probably why Yoruba villages and local towns are grossly undeveloped.

Yorubas should engage more in rural investment, attract it's people back to their local towns and villages.

More investment should be put into rural areas in southwest.

The nigerdeltans are also very guilty of this too

Ok. Are the rural areas in your zone being developed now? Kindly post pictures for Yoruba to learn from.

They don't know...
Seriously they dont!
If they knew,they would all support Peter Obi than his adversaries.

The Chinese miracle started from the Guangdong region of China. Bavaria anchored the economy of Germany just as California continues to hold the fort for U.S.A.
Don't worry yourself, Ogun state is currently the most industrialized state in Nigeria. It will get to the other states.

Exactly. Peter Obi developed ALL the rural areas in Anambra, so much so that everybody is relocating to the state.

Obi has no record to run on. His $20 million dollars investment in a brewery is now only worth a measly $5 million.

You want dem to be like other people who build village mansions for lizards and wild animals to live in while their cities are potopoto

Ogun industrialisation is actually Indian,Chinese,Lebanon industry, because of Lagos. Build industry for the local Yorubas in villages,this will liberate the Yoruba

How is that your problem!

The truth is that China was already deep into local industry in its various interiors before foreign and concentrated industry, which is similar to what the igbos are doing,Yorubas are using European model which doesn't seem to be working

What igbos really lack is direct access to the sea,if they had it,Ogun state will be no match,that's the truth

And Obi who lost public funds in a terrible investment is that person?

Ibadan – Ibadan, the Oyo State capital has been named the second fastest growing city in Africa for the year 2022, according to United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) research

In a post by Business Insider through its official Instagram handle; @businessinsiderssa, Ibadan is rated behind Accra, Ghana and above Lagos, which occupies the third position.

The post, which was captioned— “Top Ten Fastest Growing Cities in Africa”, saw two Nigerian cities occupying key positions.

Some of the key metrics of measure listed by UN-Habitat research are; urbanisation, industrialisation, population and job opportunities.

It added that the growth of these cities can be attributed to population boom and increased economic activities.

According to Brahima Coulibaly, Director of Brookings’ Africa Growth Initiative, “About half of the world’s fastest-growing economies will be located on the continent, with 20 economies expanding at an average rate of 5 per cent or higher over the next five years, faster than the 3.6 per cent rate for the global economy.

“By 2050, Africa’s population is anticipated to reach about 2 billion inhabitants, and more economic activities are taking place, counterbalancing the increasing population.”

The list include the following cities: Accra, Ghana , Ibadan, Nigeria, Lagos, Nigeria, Dakar, Senegal, Abidjan, Côte d’voire,
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Luanda, Angola,Kinshasa, DRC,
Nairobi, Kenya and
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Meanwhile, some Nigerian Instagram users have reacted to the ratings, praising the Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde for his quick, impactful and data based policy making. Other users were simply amazed at the list while others refuted it.

Now, there you have it and no Ibo state made the list of the fastest growing state.

I repeat : absolutely, no ibo state made the fastest-growing, developing state but the same Ibadan the OP is orally looking down on.

What an irony of life.

The stats are based on a reference point,do you really know what they based the stats on.

Instead of just waiting for people to tell you things find out urself.
Can you really say yoruba interior is developing based on ur own personal assessment?

Statistics is the discipline that concerns the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data



I ain't seeing " reference " here oo Mr that knows better.

The issues with general statement are
a. It doesn’t proffer solutions
b. It isn’t premised on anything actionable
c. It is devoid of reality
d. It is usually not directed to anyone, due to not being solicited in the first place.

There is no way “Yoruba” (whoever that or those are) can develop anywhere within the current socio-political and economic framework of Nigeria.

Will industries situated there get FX at $1:NGN1?
Will goods and services be magically transported from point a to point b?
Will the labor force attain quality and valid education to be productive by magic?

Ogbuefi, you crack me up with this post.

I thought yanminri developed Lagos. What stops you from developing our rural areas for us? Infact, that's why we left it undeveloped....waiting for chukuemeka to invite his clan from Iboland to come and develop our villages.

Why is it you Igbos, of over 300 ethnic groups in Nigeria, always telling Yorubas what to do ?

What success have you made of your States and region to be in any position to lecture others?

Also, everything about you people reeks hate. You began the thread pretending to be benevolently disposed to the Yorubas but clearly showed ethnocentric envy of Ogun State in this post.

You think administrators of Ogun State wake daily obsessing about being a "match" for Igbo States?

You people need to be careful . All Nigerians see through you now and they will take more 'protectionist actions against 'enemies within' Igbo from now henceforth. Mark my words.
