Yoruba cities and Igbo cities journey so far

The primary Igbo states in Nigeria are Anambra, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, and Enugu States. The Igbos also are more than 25% of the population in some Nigerian States like Delta State and Rivers State. Traces of the Igbo Culture and language could be found in Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa States. Igbo language is predominant in such cities like Onitsha, Aba, Owerri, Enugu, Nnewi, Nsukka, Awka, Umuahia, and Asaba, among others, after the Nigerian Civil War, Igboland had been severely devastated. Many hospitals, schools, and homes had been completely destroyed in the brutal war. The Federal government of Nigeria denied the Igbo people access to all the hard currencies such as pound sterling they had saved in Nigeria banks before the civil war, and only allowed them a minuscule compensation of £20 per adult bank account holder. For example, a man who had over £450,000.00 savings in one or several bank accounts could only receive £20.00 following this policy.
After the Nigerian Civil War, many Igbo emigrated out of the traditional Igbo homeland in southeastern Nigeria due to a growing population, decreasing land, and poor infrastructure. Not only have the Igbo people moved to such Nigerian cities as Lagos, Benin City, and Abuja, but have also moved to other countries such as Togo, Ghana, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Prominent Igbo communities outside Africa include those of London, UK, Houston, Atlanta and Washington D.C USA. Finland, Malaysia. In fact Igbo’s can be found in virtually any part of the world, but today Igbos cities has bounced back fairing better than cities that didn't experience civil war, I have traveled to all SOUTHWESTERN cities, and non of their cities can be compare to southeastern cities, Yorubas had abounded their cities: Ibadan, Abeokuta, Akure, Osogbo,Ilorin, Ado-Ekiti etc, they are now claiming Lagos that's being develop by all tribes, Western cities are most backward cities in SOUTHERN REGION

Ebonyi is far better than Osun, Ekiti and Ondo,


Pictures of Abakilike capital of Ebonyi created 1996 is far better than Osogbo, Akure, Ado-Ekiti and Abeokuta

Osun is better than your Anambra not to talk of the pig sty you call Ebonyi

Let us start with Onitsha

Don't drag Ebonyi into your madness. We know you are indirectly saying Ebonyi is the least developed state in the South East and its better than Osun State. We'll school you today. All these places are so good yet, you still carry your flat+heads to come hawk gala in the Southwest. Useless people

We aren't even talking about Ebonyi here. I'll just focus on Onitsha

Really?

Hahaha

I disagree

Ebonyi

Corrinthians where are you

tried, but mine is better

OSUN is far more better than all this same picture taken from different angles



We have everything abundantly in osun
We do not fight each other
We love each other as one family
We celebrate each other

OUR PROBLEM IS THE HALF SALARY BEEN PAID BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOV OF OSUN OGBENI RAUF AREGBESOLA still we say God bless him more

Eboe and inferiority complex. Always comparing their shitty village with everything, shameless people. Everything is dick measuring contest to them, only jobless people have time for this nonsense. Smh

Ebonyi doesn't have a big market yet it is more developed than Anambra.

1. Nsuka
2. Anambla

so Hausa now have quaters in ebonyi, Issorite.

I dont think it is wise Comparing the Ebonyi with Ondo , osun , ekiti, what is needful now in the South east is to make every state independent of the Useless , Good for Nothing , Meaningless Federal Government that is presently being run by satanist ,
of all the SE states only Anambra seems to be moving towards self industrialization and economic Independence , Enugu was doing fine previously ,Imo state , one of the finest states in the east seems to be in the hands of a lunatic not because of the the statute but because there is simply no economic direction and goals, Abia seems to be trapped in ecological issues but will get there if they think ouside the box .

Ebonyi far better than Osun, Ekiti and Ondo

ibkgab001:

Don't mind the Op, Ebonyi is certainly more developed than Anambra, which is covered by brown roofs everywhere, like the wide angle view below. Osun is more developed than all their states put together.

Loool
Just one local bridge taken from different angel.

Biuriful Abakaliki

If Umahi was the governor of Enugu state...Enugu would be chasing Abuja by now. He has vision...Sullivan did a lot for Enugu...
