It is very obvious you have not been to the SW before

Broveens42:
Nobody is attacking anybody.
The facts are being stated; south west is largely underdeveloped, due to negligence of governance in the said region.
We know we have bad governors in the east but we can be proud to be part of the little progress we've made thus far, for criticizing our own..

op can say it over and over again...for example,if you get past ojota and Julius Berger,jeez mehn,you don enter village o..or you are driving towards alagbado,sango toll gate,Omo,you will be wondering if you are in Iragbiji or one monkey village like that

SHINJACRUSADER:
Then leave Southwest and go back to your land... simple

I dont intend this to be an ethnic bashing but my intent is on the need to continually hold our political representatives accountable for their failings..
I ve been to all the state's in Nigeria as a former commercial driver. I ve been driving till last year when I decided to settle down on the business I now operate..

Of the six geopolitical regions, southwest remains the least developed outside Lagos and very few areas in Ogun. These few areas in Ogun are those bordered with Lagos or those areas Lagos has been for decades trying to annex. Outside these few areas and Abeokuta, Ogun remains very underdeveloped and look more like a farming area with very poor looking inhabitants especially the indigenes of those areas. Non indigenes appear much more prosperous. The Ogun state experience replicates experiences of the other south western states like Osun, Ondo, Ekiti and Oyo. An ancient area like Oyo is expected to be more developed, yet it still has some structures and monuments from 19th century even in the capital Ibadan. There are presence of rusted, Brown roofing sheets covering many residential buildings. Ekiti itself remains the least developed with many of the districts appearing like farm settlements.

I think south westerners have focused much more on Lagos to the detriment of the other south western states. It is high time these politicians that run these states are held accountable for their absolute failure in representation

lexylaw40:
ibadan is more developed than the whole south east combined.

WorldRichest:
Yet your people are in the most interior Yoruba villages selling expired drug and operating baby factories. How many Yorubas have you seen in your cursed villages?

I think you need psychiatric evaluation

mokwechineme:
that's why Nigeria continued to be a terrible place. Here we are dragging about Lagos that is far behind other African cities like -Accra, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Cairo, Kigali, Capetown, etc after many decades of federal and colonial presence as the nation's capital. That's why a tinubu would be bragging over his obvious failed governorship administration where he only succeeded in converting 2/3 of Lagos resources to personal ownership and all u Yoruba youths would do is to continue praising him to ur own detriment

WorldRichest:
It’s going to be very hot in here. When you start a thread like this, then expect anything. When you leave your cursed region to come and slave in Yoruba land, you are not in a position to malign the land that is giving you good to eat

u seem a very little boy who have never stepped out of ur birth place. If u grow up try a little travelling for exposure

simple87:
Look at this nonentity, instead of you to react to the points that I raised, you ended up throwing tantrums, SMH. Who lacks the exposure between you and I? I don't even reside in Nigeria by the way...Now you can see that you are the one that needs to double up your hustle, grow up and escape your enclave to see what the outside world look like..

...

MJluv:
You don't own any land, nobody does.

As a Nigerian one is entitled by law to own properties and live in any part of the country he or she so chooses. There are a whole lot of yorubas living in the east, we don't hear the igbos chasing them out.

Don't think because this is a faceless forum then we won't call you out when you goof.

Nice2023:
Until some of them who have refused to understand this,travels and see that u are saying the truth.

Aside trying to say the truth,a visit would convince u guys that south west is highly over rated.

I don't mean to disparage them but the fact remains that,iGR is not being put to work in the entire south west states. One man or collective criminals are pocketing it for their own good while the poor cheer them up.

I don't want to call names,if u visit a state in the south south or south east,u will most likely agree with me on the above subject matter.

The people should start calling on their leaders and stop praising them and allowing agbero to decide their destiny over the enlightened ones.

Ricci22:
Hey guys let’s be realistic here,,,at least some of us here have traveled a lot.
All these arguments are unnecessary because there’s no beautiful or developed city in Nigeria, only Abuja is a little bit cool. Ph and Lagos manageable the rest up coming.

Which ibadan. The one where jobs scarce die or businesses are struggling.

Well some southeast states in the last 20yrs have picked up in terms of development. A state like Anambra 20yrs back and beyond was really in a sorry state. Everywhere then looked terrible. No roads, no electricity, no good health centres, until Ngige came on-board. Ngige then in the 3yrs he was in charge, constructed some major link roads but not enough to change the outlook of Anambra. It was in 2006/2007 that Anambra started wearing a good new look and these good look were replicated, even in the remote areas of the state.
Then a state like Enugu continually has a very beautiful capital city (042) but the remote areas were largely neglected until 2015/2016 when Ugwuanyi came on-board. Though Chimaraoke did a good job in his local government Nkanu West but Ugwuanyi took the real development we are seeing today to Nsukka and some other areas.
Ebony under Umahi has been witnessing massive development in Abakaliki and surrounding areas.
Imo has been doing well all round more than 20yrs back and Abia hasn't be doing so good like the other south eastern states

oyatz:
There are indices for measuring development as prescribed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
