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.

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.

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

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

We are not talking politics this terrorist. If size meant something Borno state would have been an Eldorado, Sudan, Chad, Niger and Congo would be overwhelmed by Visa applications from Singapore, Israel, Denmark and France.

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

Oh, so you sef don see am? shocked Na wa for di babe, o! undecided Why is she badmouthing all the different parts of Lagos and the SW? Was it your people that told her folks to give birth to her in a slum? Wasn't it written in her destiny, that she would be born and raised in the slums? Tell her that a person cannot go against his chi. undecided She needs to realise this fact and stop lamenting.

You are the one that is so familiar with the slums of Lagos and the SW, that you keep ranting about them, and opening threads about them all. Ndo. We can all see that the slum mentality has pervaded your brains, because you cannot see anything else, apart from the slums.

Even on Google map Ibadan is not well planned. Ibadan is a glorified slum, most of the people are laid back and lazy. Their buildings have one toilet per 100 people and their fat mothers shiiit inside nylon bags and throw inside Ogunpa river

Your remarks keep proving that you must have lived in those slums, and also shiiited inside nylon bags, which is why you are so familiar with this act. Tell the truth and let the devil be ashamed....

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.

It doesn't matter how many degrees you have, it still doesn't hide the fact that you were born and raised within a slum. That is why you are so familiar with what goes on inside there. Now, when are you going to tell us all about the slums in Aba??
