Please this is a big lie. I know places in Abia state where land goes for much less and I know people who have bought there.

Don't believe the hype. Most people who can't afford lands in PH buy in Abia state due to the close proximity so I know what I'm saying.
Sammy07:


That's because you guys are affected by war and your landmass are small.
There is no place in Igbo land where a plot Is sold for 500k or less.
Meanwhile there are many places in Yoruba land where a plot is sold for 100k

Now imagine you guys after the war, where lands are sold as much as 5million in a village. Will that person build house with olden days roofs or modern day roofs?

Check Benin, Akwaibom, port Harcourt (at least I've been to those 3)
They also have lots, I mean lots of brown roofs

Katsina is getting more urbanized and more populated than Lagos?
Kano is more urbanized and more populated than Lagos?


Wait for Fulani to organize the next Census in Nigeria. They will come out census figures of Katsina more populated than Lagos.

Share of oil revenues led Fulani-controlled military dictators to proliferate 19 states and Abuja in northern Nigeria. The false political structure makes Fulani in charge of political process of Nigeria. The false political structure and false leadership that emerges from it have grounded Nigeria.

Lol. It's like you don't understand. I remember when sowore was protesting and so many igbos did not join the protest. They sat behind their keyboards supporting him from the internet. Let me tell you why. Over the years, ever since that your current president was sworn into office, any cause that the igbos support will be looked at like a biafra protest . If not a biafra protest, then the whole Nigeria will look at the matter and say we are protesting or reacting because we hate buhari and apc. That's the truth. Let's start from when buhari was busy appointing only northerners into key offices. We voiced our displeasure, but everyone said that it's because we hate buhari. The Niger delta avengers case came, and every body said that we hate buhari and that's the reason we support the avengers. There are so many things that happened that time, and when we say something against the government, then we automatically hate buhari. So what's the need? If we protest on the streets against the government today, just watch. You will see your useless government officials coming out to ask if we are the only people in Nigeria. What do you want us to do? So we left you to do the protesting. At least you are not igbos, and so, they will hear you.

And by the way, igbos are surprised with the protests because we honestly thought that you guys love the country and the way it is. Don't blame us because the way you guys react when we speak against the government, it will make someone believe that we just making noise because we hate buhari. We are surprised ohh. We didn't expect you to protest. We thought you loved the country. So please don't blame us okay.

Kip kwayet and make research before spewing your nonsense.
Your silly landmass thing has been dealt with before, for the education of everyone, the landmass used for Onitsha is that for old Onitsha and leaving the newer and more populated areas out, just like limiting the landmass and population for Lagos to Lagos Island, Ikoyi and the Iddo areas, not even V.I and Lekki is included.
Mushin, Ikeja, Agege etc are not even remembered.
That for your Ibadan is for Ibadanland and not the built up Ibadan. So if we are to go with your nonsense from Wikipedia then Ibadan is as big as Lagos state, do I need to tell you it's false?

Thank you for educating him.

But Sowore was taken serious by Buhari people because Sowore just met with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in one foreign country then.

Sorry to deviate..

Am I the only one or is there someone else who has noticed that recently, any issue affecting the whole of nigeria, like bad policies from the government, increased in VAT, electricity bill or fuel pump price increase..the Igbos hardly join in protest. When I said Igbos I mean the 5 South eastern states.

Is this to show that despite majority of Igbos being against this government, yet those that supported the government(especially north and south west) are the ones being hit by the famine? Cause there has been series of protests in Abuja, Lagos and some other northern and south western states, yet the 5 eastern states are quiet about it and going about their normal businesses.

Two things are involved,
1. It is either the Igbos don't see the challenges as a burden. Or

2. Igbos truly don't care about Nigeria and only interested in Biafra.. meaning whatever is happening in Nigeria is none of their business.
In my own opinion. The Igbos and Niger Delta will be like.. we warned them but they refused to hear so they should carry their cross alone

It is not most urbanized but built up.
Onitsha is a tiny city established by the Binis that is not expanding as it should.It is a very old city which had failed to grow and gain more land like Ibadan.
Onitsha is only 52 square km while Ibadan is 3,080 square km.Onitsha is just about 5 GRAs in Ibadan.We have seen this demographia thing before sha.

If you truly believe in one Nigeria, you should have been happy that Onitsha leveled to zero by Nigeria armed forces during the civil war started to build again and gets recognized as one of the largest urban centers in Africa.

Loads of you don’t believe in one Nigeria but for crude oil in the Niger Delta, you sing one Nigeria.

Stop saying what you are not sure of, your assumption is wrong. In igbo land, when your roof gets old, you change it. And we have many middle class citizens that can afford aluminium roofing sheet
Sammy07:


lol, then why are still brown roofs in Igbo land then if your last statement is correct.

The reason, you see brown roofs everywhere in Nigeria nah because it's very common then (the type of roofs I mean).
1. There is no body in Nigeria that that buys land for 500k upwards, Spending over 2m - 50m+ to build houses that will use that type of roofs.

2. Why do you think GRAs doesn't have a single brown roofs.?

3. Why your village Has modern roofs than brown roofs is simply because of Cost of land. If your village Sells land at 100 - 150 for a plot. Even A mechanic or anyone with that amount will want to buy and build a house for himself, he won't mind using those zinc roofs because of the cost of modern roofs. (He might not finished building it finish self before moving in).

And you've not answered me.
Port Harcourt, Benin, Akwaibom also have lots of brown roofs, why Is it so?
