Onitsha? What is in Onitsha?

Onitsha is not as developed as Arepo - Mowe - Magboro - Ibafo axis, Sango Ota, na em you wan compare with Abeokuta?

Onitsha will be a boring city to someone living in big cities in Ogun state because social life their is low.

How many universities, stadiums, schools, estates, golf course, industrial zones, etc dey Onitsha?
Pictures don't lie

Are Ilesa, Abeokuta, Osogbo, Ijebu ode, Akure etc not worthy of note?. Ilesa is industrialized with brewery, nails manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, distilleries foam making, fabrication companies, agro allied companies and etc. It is wrong to say only Ibadan and Lagos are worthy of note in the west.

Picture of 3 acres of land is what you call development?

See Onitsha with houses and no single road.

See Abeokuta below.

This is the only picture of Onitsha that is available because apart from houses no basic infrastructure.

I must commend the current administration of president Tinubu for all the federal projects he's doing in the southeast. My village just benefited from Tinubu's road projects and everybody is happy!

If past Nigerian leaders had done as much projects in the southeast as Tinubu, nobody would be talking about marginalization.

Because you are locked up in your cocoon, scared to move out and compete. Chinese are in Nigeria, I guess it's because Nigeria is better than China right?
Of course, you feel on top of the world immediately you're fortunate to escape your enclave and made it to SW. We have been travelling to places before your people have the knowledge of their immediate environment and neighbours. That we don't come to your land doesn't mean that we don't travel. We know the places that are worth vacating our homeland for.

Only an ignorance will take you seriously.

Dalohad:
Stop deceiving yourself.

Since 1970, the development in the East was never powered by government support.

Na dem set build their land themselves.

There is a reason why Imo is 38% urbanised but Ogun, and Ekiti are less than 10% urbanised.

Without government support, we monarchical Yorubas would have mud houses littered everywhere all over our capitals, like we have in Ibadan.

Who see truth make him talk, truth is like agbo jedi, e bitter but e no dey kill.. grin

Tell that to people who have never been to oyo state. From Iseyin to Ibadan is 2 hours ( wetin still remain for oyo again?) while from nsukka to Enugu town is 2 hours if not more that’s Enugu state alone, even at that Igbos doesn’t boast about empty size but capacity and capability. Go to Middle East and see how Isreal the size of Enugu state put the entire Middle East in fear , with exception of America and China most of the countries world powers today are not big in size
you forgot to add Russia,. It's also really big in size..
