₦airaland Forum

In the past weeks, there has been battle over which cities or regions are the most developed southern Nigeria.

While it is difficult to determine which region or city is the most developed in real terms, this thread will showcase aerial views of all the major towns and cities in southern Nigeria.

As we all know, quality of life and standard of living is measured mainly by housing, hygiene, access to Education, Nutrition, Water and Energy, Healthcare, security etc. However, Housing is the singular most important yard use in measuring standard of living because the quality of ones living can determine how well one is living, a reason why you see the rich or upper class live in better houses than the low and middle class, but in the case of this thread it will focus on general housing and city view.

Stay tuned as i load this thread with interesting videos and reference threads for pictures.

The most developed regions are ss & sw

Lagos
Rivers
Ogun

If they are using brown zink to measure development, then yes.

Sadly this is not from iPob statistics that uses colour of roof as indication of wealth

Do you enjoy your poverty status?

You cant be wealthy and be living under brown roof. Shame will not allow you. Your living standard indicates your social and financial status.

@ OP, please add "graphic images" to videos from Ibadan and Abeokuta, people might get depression from watching those pics

Wait first, lemme watch videos from south south...cos i know South west will surely be the shame and embarrassment to the word development. Thats why they keep having stunted growth.

Balkanized Nigeria.
.

Shameless people would compare their best places to the worst places in the south west and congratulate themselves.

Yet, they are every all over southwest looking for economic relevance and political recognition.

You sound pain, hence you are now denying your cities out of shame

Aerial and street views were both captured in the videos.

The best parts of your cities are just 5% at most of your whole cities, unlike in the SE and SS, where the people are very enterprising, which has resulted to low poverty and better living standard. They build good homes, hence they have a wide spread of beautiful houses, such that when you see them, you will think they are showing you GRA, which in reality, those are their normal hoods. Every man na rich man for there

Rip to the poorest region in Nigeria south east

But you can be wealthy and stealing almajiri babies and launching baby factories
