Nope. Commercial is the equivalent of university courses under Faculty of Management, Faculty of Social Science & some courses under Faculty of Education.

Science is even closer to the "arts" than commercial sef wink

Also, they are very many Yoruba builders in the East. And they get a lot of patronage because some Igbos prefer that they contract their building to Yorubas (someone who is more likely to be serious and not say na my brother get am). And these builders deliver well.

How about their nightlife?

Any info about oloshos dem and their patrons?

How do the runs girls run their parole and how dem dey operate in terms of getting attention of men and public dresses and signs?
Hmm. Do you want to go back koboless? Avoid Anambra girls; their eyes can see through your bank account from your appearance.

The same Anambra that I bought fanta just 3 days ago and still in the hospital now as a result of food poisoning? To imagine that I even bought that fanta at Amalex restaurant in Igbariam. I have tweeted nafdac but no response. I'm just recuperating right now. Please don't mention Anambra and God fearing is same sentence ever again.
You are a big liar!

Anambra ( onitsha precisely) get plenty beer parlors pass Lagos o. Onitsha people are drunkards.
Re: Differences I Noticed Between Lagos And Anambra Lifestyles (Opinion) by chatinent: 7:28pm On Jan 02, 2025
I'm indigenous to Lagos, birthed and lived there up to 16 years until I relocated. Omo, it's too rowdy for my liking. The pressure there is in an all time high.

stop comparing Lagos with those cities. There's nothing in Lagos in term of infrastructure to be compared with those world class cities.. Lagos is just over hyped urban slum. But average black man likes suffer ing and smiling. You need to travel around Nigeria to know how decayed Lagos is.
grin see hate and bitterness in full glare….yet when they ask you to return back to your mansion in anambala grin you start crying grin

wise men talk because they have something to say but fools talk because they have to say something.

If the largest city in Anambra is not factored into its general description, I wonder what you understand by the word " general" as neither Lagos nor Anambra is 100 % commercial.
Bro use your brain, he was not talking about onitsha.

The only civility and decorum that exist in Lagos was imported into Lagos by the highly civilized Igbo
Re: Differences I Noticed Between Lagos And Anambra Lifestyles (Opinion) by kelly72: 7:36pm On Jan 02, 2025
No. 6 is the same in Owerri too. I travel feom Lagos to my town Owerri, and I took the town buses. Each time a new passenger entered, they'll first greet everyone. If everyone didn't respond, they'll greet again. I unconsciously didn't respond because no be Lagos way.
Re: Differences I Noticed Between Lagos And Anambra Lifestyles (Opinion) by yahoodetector: 7:36pm On Jan 02, 2025
So about 500,000 yorubas live in Anambra and there hasn't been any time the Obi of Onitsha threatened them with "drowning in River Niger" and no one has carried placards protesting with chants of #YorubamustLeaveAnambra

I thought it was only Igbos who are flooded in population in Lagos.

Lol, of course it's entirely weird to have more northerners in Lagos than in Anambra. BTW, how many northerners live in Ibadan compared to Lagos?
Lagos is a melting point, those deceiving themselves and want to cause tribal war are the losers in between. And this has been so for long and not today.
Lagos is the only state you will see volume of each tribes converging, even people from other Yoruba speaking states. No other state have such configuration, aside Abuja or probably Kano.

All you need to do is Google the world's financial districts and check if Lagos is there or not. We don't need to argue. South Africans who see Joburg there or Kenyans who see Nairobi on the list or Americans who see New York will still complain about slums and inequality but whether those cities are financial districts or not, check my earlier comment on the definition.
grin don’t bother yourself educating that clown…you should know his comment is coming from a place of hate grin Lagos state, is the only state in Nigeria that is classified as a world class city and maybe Abuja, he his just pained non of the state in his shitty region is rated in that regard…even Ibadan has more international recognition than any state from that 5plot of barren land grin

Having lived all my young to mid adult life in Lagos and then being transferred by my firm to it's Anambra branch , I have now lived here for over two years... These are the differences in life style I noticed

1. Business are late to open in the morning in Anambra compared to Lagos

2. There very few or non existent road side mechanics, most mechanics are in a street inside a compound and fenced unlike Lagos

3. There is still high sense of morality and believe in God in this part of Nigeria by majority of of the people bar the student areas where culturi and believes are imported from various part of Nigeria unlike Lagos

4. There is low level of northern population throughout the state unlike Lagos

5. Most nysc corpers are southwestern and igbos

6. Inside the public transport a new entrant greets the old sittight ones... Unlike Lagos

7. In Anambra, keke driver or bike rider would give u the money to go look for change in cases of no change btw him and customer while he waits for ur return , reverse is the case in Lagos

8. In Anambra , both driver and persongers will reject money to the floor in cases of incorrect disputed price of fare... All allowing ur conscience judge u... In Lagos it results to fight...

9. In Anambra, house rents are very high just like Lagos.. but transport is cheap

10. In Anambra there is a few major fuel marketers mostly filled with unknown names

11. U hardly see anyone criticize a preist of a catholic or Anglican church...

12. In Anambra, student decision of department to follow in senior secondary Begins from SS2 rather than in SS1 in Lagos

13. The senior secondary skls in Anambra are divided to just science or art, while in Lagos it is science, commercial and art.

14. Girls in Anambra are strongly money incited...they judge u by how much u show off..maybe same with Lagos sha

15. Banks are the highest paying private jobs in Anambra unlike Lagos where unknown companies pay huge surprise wages.

16. In Anambra the predominant jobs of the yorubas is tailoring, they are better trusted by the clients than indigenous tailors...
Hausa people dress Igbo when they're in the east so you may be getting an incorrect read on the northern population, because it's massive in the SE.

EmperorCaesar:
Number 1 is correct. Sometimes, i used to wonder if their morning starts by 11am
Number 16 is quite true too


Just read through. You couldnt have said it better.

As for the population of Northerners in Anambra, I guess it says more about the region than the Northerners themselves. Aside Deltans(linked by state boundaries), its very very very hard to see non-Igbos in Anambra(excluding Onitsha). You could just walk into anywhere and speak igbo and most times, 100% of those there are Igbos

Why compare them tho?
I think you are in error concerning Northerners residing only in Onitsha. Have you been to Nnewi, Ekwulobia and Awake axis? If you are conversant with those areas, you won't make such hasty conclusion.

press9jatv:
the difference is clear abeg. You can compare Anambra State to Osun State
Is that a joke. Even though both states were created in the same year, Anambra is far ahead of osun by millions. The no of bank branches, private schools, buildings in Onitsha alone is greater than the entire osun state.

lol. He is talking about Anambra not Onitsha? Are you normal?

if you check the thread, you'll see I'm not the only person questioning the idea of generalising a state from one location. One thing about the social media is the inability to assess the mental state of some of you. As a result, kindly engage in something more meaningful to cure your loneliness and refrain from filling up my mentions with half-baked thoughts.

Go to sambo in Ibadan, that is their junction before they decide where to relocate to.

This part is very very very correct.

They manipulate the men with title-calling (odogwu) and Igbo man being proud and loud, the hailing of Odogwu swells his head and he empties his pocket for the woman.

The Igbo woman's arrogance and over- petting is why theu have highest ratio of feminism movements and house-help beating in Nigeria.

South South women and South West and Middle Belt Christians may want money, but they don't know how to skill-fully and craft-ly understand you to extract money from you.

Igbo women are too witty and crafty. You have to up your street-sense mode to better them in their game sense.

If she leaves you for being "stingy", at least she left you with your money with you. If you spend on her and upgrade her with flashes of beauty skincare, clothing, schooling, the Igbo woman will become an upgrade, attract men better than you and still leave you for those men.

I have given you a lesson
Which sense of reasoning? Abegiii! … I’ve run things with several Igbo girls and I can confirm to you they’re the easiest to deal with. All those things you’re saying about them must be for Igbo guys only cuz dem no dey apply such for this side o..

I barely want to be with a Yoruba girl self cuz them dey too stress me. Dem dey too clingy and attaché! If it’s possible, dem want make una dey talk 24 hours everyday lol! Me wey no too like to dey call! But Igbo girls are not like that. They seem to know how to Minimize being clingy..
