I agree with you on that at bolded because the comparison was flawed at the point...

Now the issue of Enugu and Benin. Can you add something little to draw the difference a bit. Maybe I can see beyond that.

I think you don't understand what I was trying to say.

You can't compare enugu and ibadan to Benin city when you are talking about economic activities because Benin city dwarfed them.

The op is a sentimental prick. Kaduna should be higher than Ibadan and even Kano. Many don't know that Kaduna is the deputy capital of Nigeria. Enugu is not supposed to be there. It is a civil service town with migrant student population and full of retirees. Owerri should be on that list representing the south east.

Ohkay, now I got your point. This your point is heavy but I hope you can back it up though I agree somehow of huge economic prowess going on in Benin.

You maybe right anyway but can't say for now.

Owerri ?

Maybe everything now is a joke on nairaland where everyone even in midst of serious analysis comes in to type nonsense.

Owerri can't even be listed even in the first 15.

It is obvious OP hasn't been to Abuja, Abuja should be second on the list

funnyboss:
As a Nigerian that has travelled and Shuttling between regions etc. This is my "unbiased and candid Arrangements:
1. Lagos
2. Kano
3. Port-Harcourt
4. Ibadan
5. Enugu
6. Kaduna
7. Abuja

My basis for the arrangement:
- Economic activity, which is Number 1 and the reason I can call a city developed in the first place
- Infrastructures which is number 2.

* Would have rated kaduna before Ibadan but like I said, my number 1 basis is Economic Activity.

* Quite difficult to determine which should come first, kaduna or Enugu but in this case, I used cleanliness lol. Or maybe I'm just biased. I love state of Enugu. Very good weather too hence Enugu came first. This is subject to criticism which I can agree.

* Would have rated Abuja over kaduna, Enugu, Port-Harcourt and even Ibadan BUT my number 1 priority is Economic activity. 2. Abuja is a transit town. Go to Abuja during festive seasons and you'll hate yourself. Everybody's gone back home. Abuja is not a serious town. It's economic activity is not stable and secured. Remove the seat of power from Abuja and you won't even see Abuja on the map again. It won't even stand close to nasarawa sef in terms of economic activity. Abuja is really fake and it's a civil service town. Not a town for serious business. Wise companies place their headquarters in Abuja but have what they call "corporate headquarters" in Lagos just in case lol. They are wise. Businesses in Abuja are just there to be closer to Government officials and nothing more. After they get what they want, THEY LEAVE.

Please "NEATNESS" wasn't a basis used as what's the use of neatness where there's no money.
Your constructive criticisms are welcomed. First picture Enugu

You obviously don’t travel. Going by your analysis, Aba and Onitsha are obviously more developed than Enugu,Ibadan and kaduna. With the volume of economic activities, concentration of building/real estate and population density, Enugu, Kaduna and Ibadan don’t come close to Aba and Onitsha.

As an Afonja, the key aim of this thread is obviously to rate Ibadan ahead of Enugu, but from the back door. However, man can see through your deception.

Owerri, Benin and Asaba will even trump Ibadan, going by your city standards measurement. Ibadan may only be bigger in size but doesn’t come close. Asaba and owerri have functioning and active airports man. Ibadan can’t sustain its and instead filled with largely uneducated, hungry, poverty stricken populace.

Ibadan is only big but 95% mostly local and slum. The remaining 5% doesn’t compare to Enugu in anyway.

Aba’s infrastructure may have been neglected but you cant underrate Aba. Aba is not different from some cities in mainland Lagos.

Don’t even compare onitsha to IB. Onitsha is the second most densely populated city in Nigeria after Lagos.

Finally, CBN rated Lagos, Kano, Rivers, Anambra and Abia as states with the most volume of economic activity. Not Oyo, Ogun or even Abuja.

Lipscomb:
Where's ogun state.you can't compare ogun state with enugu how many companies and institutions in Enugu state?

Very true
I think Ogun should come after Lagos
This state na just a bed of many companies

enugu City is one of the most beautiful city in Nigeria, definitely in top five but, enugu is not really in top five economy

haha which owerri, prostitution/hotel economic.

companies and universities.

companies don’t make a developed city... secondly companies in ogun state are spread into different semi urban towns in ogun state. Asides the companies in ogun state that are supplying Lagos, ogun is largely a concentration of towns. It’s just the younger brother of Ibadan. Agbara, shagamu, Ijebu, Ota are just towns.. Abeokuta is a disappointment, nothing to write home about. Just flyovers, dual lane roads and what else? Dirty and unhygienic environment, poor and uneducated people living with goat and fowl shit everywhere. Poor living standard with dilapidated buildings littered all over the town. And obviously rustic brown roofs. Abeokuta Just like Ibadan smells.

The only decent city in the southwest outside Lagos is Akure. The rest are ewww. Noise closed

in terms of population Benin city is the 4th most populated in Nigeria.

In education, they beat enugu hands down from uniben to igbinedion university.

The oil and gas companies in Benin and Benin also housed nigeria palm industry

I partially live in Benin and having this argument with you is a diversion. Let’s focus on Ibadan, don’t use another front to fight your battle. Cony man.

Are you now comparing Uniben to UNN that has even produced 3 CBN governors back to back..and many great men and women across Nigeria.

You don't compare UNN to Uniben. Unn has been there before Uniben arrived.

Use other Indices but not university.

Boss I don't know of ibadan but Kano has overtook kaduna in the last few years although the margin is now little because kaduna is now catching up with it mates due to the the urban renewal of El rufai and I believe it will take back it place in a year or two because it's already a planned city by the brits
