Ibadan is not so big as you try to exaggerate and it is not modern. I've been there 3 times and the people there will be arguing it's larger than Lagos which made me laugh. Ibadan isn't much larger than Port Harcourt and Benin City but it is clearly larger than Aba and Enugu just in Landmass. Most residential houses in Ibadan are either bungalow or a storey building while most residential houses in Aba are 3 to 6 storey meaning the landmass is almost the same. Wastage of land by building too many bungalows doesn't make a city better.
so u count those big story buildings as been rich

It’s obvious u don’t understand the law of nature, where there is abundance there tends to b enough n convenience n ease of doing things compared to when things aren’t enough

There’s little land to manage in Igbo land n due to small landmass they are expensive unlike Ibadan where u can get lands at cheaper prices n have as many as u want

In a rich man’s house d children will eat n have left over but in a poor man’s house d children will make sure they finish everything cos after that nothing is left again

Many of u don’t even understand basic laws of nature

This thread was supposed to be for Igbos exclusively but somehow, they had to talk about the SW states


Inferiority complex at play cheesy cheesy

Which one is inferiority complex.
The thread is about igbos and that's what it is. Any faceless entity is entitled to his opinion and there's absolutely no need to draw conclusions on inferiority.

Remove Asaba and Port Harcourt. The people there say they aren't Igbos.

What's all these for? Kudos if Igbos achieve more.

It is when others praise you that it really counts.

Igbo Homeland extends east and west from old kalabar River to the banks of kwora, River niger and possesses some territory Aboh, an Igbo clan to the westward of the latter stream. On the north it borders, igara, igala, A'kpoto and separated from the sea, only by petty tribes who trace their origin to the great Igbo tribe~ William Balfour, 1856

The Royal Niger company don't know their History. What a pity!!

Oga check the landmass of Ibadan with the population and compare with onitsha landmass and population.

Onitsha is almost half the population of Ibadan that is slightly bigger than Anambra state.

Is Ibadan not same size as lagos state? But it can contain the whole population of oyo 2×...stop reasoning like you no get sense.

Onitsha is densely populated that places like idemili,nkpor,nkwelle and obosi are often referred to as onitsha.

When you include all, it will swallow entire oyo and ogun population

And what you just explained is not good. A small land size with too many people is congestion and suffocation.

No wonder it is regarded as one of the most filthy and polluted region in the world

I have never called igbos drug dealers. You're an industrious people. I have a stepmom who is Igbo and has never done anything to wrong me personal.

When we hate others or are prejudiced, it is a sin before God and we have allowed Satan get the better of us. (Read 1 John 4:20-21)

A lot of prejudiced people on NL may be totally something offline. Their best friends could even be Igbo. I know a guy who isn't fond of Igbos but his last 2 girlfriends were Igbos. grin cheesy grin

Lagos abi??

I don't know when empty bushy landmass equals development. I can list you so many European,gulf countries far smaller than oyo state, does that mean oyo is more developed than them??

Lagos if far more developed than oyo state, Anambra too is far more dev than oyo, the only place fine in Ibadan is oluyole and few other empty estates and the university area which isn't even upto 10% of total Ibadan landmass.

Every other places na slum and filthy dry brown roof

Oluyole and Co are the only places fine in Ibadan and they're all estates...is there any state in Nigeria that doesn't have beautiful estates??

Show us where average middle class lives in Ibadan.

Even most villages and towns in Anambra state have better housing units than Ibadan.

the oluyole you mentioned should be twice bigger than onitsha and akwa combined.
You haven’t mentioned Akobo,bodija,ologun eru,challenge,moniya,eleyele,Jericho,Apata,Akala express,Bashorun,Olorunda,Arulogun and the likes which are beautiful places and each are beautiful and each bigger than any of your cites.

It's not the size of a city or country that determines whether it can be well-planned or not. Russia is at least 11 times the size of Nigeria; Canada is about 10 times the size of Nigeria, but they make sure that wherever people are living are well-planned, instead of allowing people to scatter buildings anyhow they like or build mud houses or use rusty roofs.
