Why Some Yoruba Cities Look Big by AnambraDota: 9:31pm On Nov 10, 2017 |
Yorubas are know for crowded living pattern and poor housing culture. Most of their cities grew from the merging and submerging of villagees and remote settlement over a period of time. Lands in Yoruba areas like Ibadan and abeokutA are measure 60ft by 100ft or 120ft depending on survey plan but in Eastern part lie Anambra lands are measured 50ft by 100ft. While yorubas are comfortable erecting bungalows while Igbos build mansions. IN a plot of land(60*120) a yoruba man will likely build bungalow, those ibadan style buildings with passage in the middle while rooms are on both sides of the passage, toilet and bathroom are detached from the building at the back. Most of these buildings are less than 15 rooms mostly one room partitions. The owners are mostly yoruba Muslims whose one of the wives will be selling bread in front of the house, let's say Baba Ipaye . Now in East, such land (50*100) will not be wasted on mud bungalows like they do in ibadan, a plot in East is expected to accommodate 3-5 storey buildings of double flats making it 8-12 flats of 3 bedrooms and a sitting room with toilet, bathroom and kitchen inbuilt. Now if East should start erecting bungalows like yorubas do you think there will still be land available for farming? First pics is ibadan Second is Onitsha. 11 Likes

So whenever yorubas brag how big their cities are just don't get intimidated I have been to their 3 major cities, call me I will show them. Living in conglomeration of slums that merged over the years does not mean your city is big, you waste resources. 12 Likes |

Oyo state alone is the size of all your 5 potor states combined. I don't actually blame you, it's the Yorubas that allowed FG create more states in tiny SE, leaving ours at only 6. Niger state alone is times 2 of all your SE states combined. Bloody minority 37 Likes 4 Shares |

Oga080666419419: It means everything.. Reason why the North will continue to rule cos they have the size and numbers Igbos on the other hand will never smell presidency cos they are now classed as minority. Anyone that will rule Nigeria must have massive support in the North and South (preferrably SW). So you see.. size means everything 23 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Why Some Yoruba Cities Look Big by Alariiwo: 10:10pm On Nov 10, 2017 |
AnambraDota: The beggars there are your people who migrated from their potor enclave to Ibadan due to hardship. They are all over SW living in one room apartment. 20 - 30 men living in one room without ventilation. Why won't they beg? The money your governors get as allocation, they waste on building statues now your people are all over SW and North begging for alms 29 Likes 1 Share |

laudate: I have a degree in urban and regional planning so I have so much interest in habitation. Lagos is a confirmed slum forget the facade of center of excellence. Most yoruba cities are not well planned like Benin City, Owerri and Aba. Yoruba cities just grew like Nnewi,just that Nnewi have modern houses and robust middle class. 5 Likes |
