See this mugu. Nsukka Town is different from Nsukka zone. Igbo people are buried in their ancestral village so you visited a village in Nsukka zone not Nsukka city

I schooled in UNN around 2006. Most of the lies paddle here is enormous..Nyanya in Abuja is akin to Nsukka Town. They only handicap here is that the town revolves around the University activities and little to the market activities.

No banks in Nsukka? Jeez!

I remembered as at 2006 when we will leave campus to enter Fidelity bank in town just to pack their busicuits and sweet. Eat enough inside the bank and drink enough water from their dispenser, then excuse ourselves. That axis Fidelity bank is situated is close to their market not far from Peace Mass Transit office Nsukka with several banks there too. My GTB account was opened while a student in UNN. So what are you trying to say? These were around 2006 o...

Jogs1900:

Obollo Afor has tiled road oooo. There's nothing that u are looking for in Obollo Afor that u will not see......like in the whole of Enugu State that's the city that bubbles. Like they don't sleep there.

I doubt if u av ever visited there.

tungamaje:
Wao, you really know that area. I am from Alayi. Which state do you come from?

I for tell you but not to have people view my opinion as biased, I will dodge am. Just know that I have travelled virtually all parts of Nigeria due to work contingencies.

Forget, South-East dey try and North-Central states despite the calamities of war, they can beat those wey never experience am.

Alayi fine o but Small London get people wey carry money pass una. First time of seeing Alayi, I thought it was Ajayi

Gateway into and out of East. That place no dey sleep o, kinda Lagos lifestyle is breeding there. Once you are returning East and enter Obollo Afor, there's this relative peace of "menh I am safe small".

inspirator1:
But there are private hospitals functioning there. Howbeit, I am not justifying the government's attitude to public infrastructures. Nonetheless, can you mention any major city in Nigeria that has effective and efficient general hospitals aside our first class cities. Moreover, citizens of this country actually rely on private sectors services most often due to the inefficiency of government sector services even in the first class cities.

In the south west,all general hospitals there are functioning optimally...At least there's one in a local government...not like Ohafia that even electricity they don't have.

All the things you are saying are what individuals did... What has the government done there...After all, they collect allocation from Abuja.

You are living in alt reality,Mk una dey deceive unaselves,am okun from kogi by the way

No wonder....

Sammy07:
LMAO, delusional.

You probably thought you're having a convo with a novice here?

Apart from bauchi the state capital, which other city is developed?

Is this ment or malaria?

That's what I'm telling them...It's not by individual efforts...There government can't provide basic infrastructures for them in their respective villages...gbam they troop to other regions to start enjoying infrastructures other states put in place.

All those places they are calling city...I've asked them severally the infrastructures there to make life meaningful to them... Nobody answered...After all they collect the whole state allocation not state capital allocation from the east.

You really get am. Small London na baba for our side. But thank God you visited our area and saw things for yourself so that when those who haven't travelled to Igboland mock us by saying we are undeveloped and backward, you would be able to correct them. In our area, if you haven't built in the village you never start

One thing is that in Nigeria if you wait for the government to provide those amenities for you, then be ready to wait for eternity or better still endure the discomfort Common to provide Nigerians with electricity, has it been able? So if the government doesn't provide for you, would you fold your arms waiting until it does? Some may wait, but Igbos generally don't. In my village it was the community development union that brought electricity while the then military governor came to commission it. That's why you see communities and individuals providing amenities such as roads, boreholes and others for themselves. If you want to bring development to your community, don't just wait for the government. You can only attract its presence once the village becomes developed by itself. I was shocked to see a Stop work, by local govt town planning office notice written on a building under construction in an interior part of my village. Sort of Come and settle us

Abiriba small London na baba for abia state,I have travel to that part of the state,Great people of abiriba...beautiful town

Then if you can't hold your own leaders accountable for the federal allocation they collect on behalf of the state every month, don't condemn other region leaders.The north west and south west do hold their leaders accountable.If we can't hold our governors that are close to us accountable, then we have no moral right to blame Buhari for whatever we are facing in this country.

Jogs1900:

Are we discussing about individual efforts or government efforts towards development or development wholistically? I presume your replies have been targeted to mock governance in South-East whereas the topic says otherwise. Whether development is private sector or government generated, should such be delineated during discourse?

Don't forget most parts in first cities are developed by private investors. Does that not count as development too?

Lagos is south east then.....Tell me if there are Ijebus, Aworis and Egun that are indigenous to the east...Do you know that Awka can be compared to Jere in Kaduna and Ile ife in Osun state...Soon you will say Mowe, Ibafo too was former fct....If your region is okay, you won't be leaving in droves to other regions to enjoy the infrastructures their government put in place...The way Lagos has federal projects is the way other states have federal projects too..Lagos as a capital was limited to only 2 lga of Lagos island and Lagos mainland...Thats where you will see Federal government projects.Outside those two local government area, no federal projects.

It's a lie,Festac was built by federal government, satellite town,Apapa largely too,lots of federal projects in amuwo-odofin and Ojo.These attracted alot of other private projects too

You list them... Moreover let me shock you..There's no federal government project you mentioned in Lagos that is not in Kaduna state.Lagos has been built by the Yorubas already and doing very well before the British made it capital city.

You're lieing,mention what and what the Yorubas built in lagos? The british owned lagos since 1860,before the British made it capital,

The Yoruba have no beautiful city.

See if Lagos is not going to be beneficial to the whites, they won't have made it the capital city...Do you think during slave trade,the whites didn't reject some slaves that were offered to them...If you can't fit into the plans of the white,they won't come close to you.. Whatever they built in Lagos is in Kaduna too..If you don't know the one Nigeria we practice in Nigeria is affecting the progress wheel of South west.Can you imagine Abia state is owing it's medical doctors 25 months salary....This can never happen in the south west.. Tell me what is left there if the government can't provide his citizens with security and health facilities....These are reasons why your people are japaing to other regions to enjoy good life

babasolution:
If truth be told,banter aside the south east and south south states ,even the northern states are more beautiful than the southwest states.

This is the reality,even Ibadan and abeokuta though developed is not as beautiful as most northern states.

The southwest have very rustic cities
I think the southwest should look into remodeling and beautification of its cities

Kaduna as been remodelled and upgraded, kano has been remodelled.

Less popular cities like Bauchi are far more beautiful than southwestern cities.

What is wrong with southern Nigeria, is it the governments or people?

It was result of early development. When those building were constructed, some Nigeria cities in other regions today were probably still living in core villages with no single sign of civilization. Old building at cities centre are sign of early development or civilization, it is just unfortunate that SW don't have visionary leaders who are bold enough to destroy those buildings and replace them with something better.

Meanwhile, i will agree with you that many south west cities are full of old buldings at city center but that doesn't mean they don't have many developed areas within the same cities. Besides, many SW state are very big in land mass, there are alot of beautiful places within the same cities/states that if concentrated in one place like most state are doing, they would've probably rated as best cities in Nigeria.

Let me use Ibadan as example, the city centre is nothing to write home about, a lot of old buildings and poor planning roads network, but if you drive around the city, you will think it not the same city.

True, that's part of what am saying,SW should remodel and beautify those old areas of it's cities,those places need to be fixed,they are many and are a eyesore, it will really uplift the image of the southwest

Where is the link to Ekiti owing it's teachers for months?But look at it critically, how will a sensible government owe it's medical doctors for a whole 25 months and it's still counting?

babasolution:

They are in other regions fine but they are not many like easterners....Most Yorubas are comfortable in their regions because the standard of living in the south west is the highest in Nigeria....When Yorubas leave their region, you see them travelling out to sensible countries... Countries that have better standard of living not shithole countries.

Google is there,it occurred under fayose,the issue is that yorubà is not as developed as they think,they are at par with every other region,Lagos just gives them a faux pass superiority

There are nearly as much Yorubas in other regions as easterners,just that Lagos which is a melting pot of all regions, is geographically in the southwest,so Easterners are ajudged to move more,they are as many Hausa's in southwest as easterners, the easterners are not doing as bad as you guys Mk it look.

I have seen Yorubas many in yenegoa,some even doing meshayi n suya,you'll be shocked but it's true,even in nasarawa there are Yorubas who have become indigenes, they work in the civil service of nasarawa, they are only not as visible cos they are not traders like Igbo who are very visible
