The only people who are not afraid of Nigeria disintegration are the Igbos. We believe in what we can do. As far as Nigeria still exist, Igbos are free to buy the whole south west

The problem with you yorubas is that you don't travel. You sit down inside your room and be vomiting nonsense. There are plot of lands for 500k and less in some Igbo village's

Osu boy, why should Yorubas travel to your landlocked homeland that your people are trooping out of in their millions everyday month? Who in their right mind will leave Yorubaland to go hustle in Igboland? Yorubas don't travel, but the largest Nigerian immigrants in Ivory Coast and Togo are Ejigbo people. Ogbomosho people have hundreds of thousands of their people in Ghana, Kano, Jos, Niger etc. Ignorant Osu slowpoke!

I agree with Lagos being more ubarnized but I disagree with onitsha being more ubarnized than ibadan, kano and Kaduna

In terms of ubarnized area no state in the south east is close to Kaduna

Kaduna is not only more urbanized... Kaduna is more develope

Are you more knowledgeable than those who did this research? undecided

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?


You must be very stupid!!!
Where did you see brown roofs in Port Harcourt?
Envious lots!!!

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.

Indonesia city even more urbanized than New York?
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.
Otondo Onitsha metropolis dosen't end in Onitsha town, Onitsha metropolis has expanded to many towns and LGs, Onitsha town is even the smallest in landmass compare to Obosi, Nkpor, Nkwelle, Oba, Ogidi etc Anambra is second densely populated state in Nigeria after Lagos, Ibadan is the only city in Oyo state and largely covered by slums

The Ibadan you're talking about, do you mean the developed part of ibadan or ibadan as a whole.

if you're talking about Ibadan as a whole then I'm telling you it's bigger than Lagos.
The poster I quoted was referring to Ibadanland as that of the city of Ibadan and both are different.

Port Harcourt, Benin, Akwaibom also have lots of brown roofs, why Is it so?
I can answer your question as to why Benin, Port Harcourt and Akwa Ibom have brown roofs.
First of all, I will like you to remove Akwa Ibom from the question because they are not related to the other two in question.
As for the other two being Benin and Portharcourt, it all boils down to their yoruba DNA as Benin is known progenitor of the Ikwerre that owns port Harcourt and Bini in turn was founded by Prince Oranmiyan of Ile Ife (yoruba). So it is safe to say that Port Harcourt is the grandson of the Yorubas through their son Benin (Oranmiyan) and that explains the two sharing the yorubas brown roof because brown roof is the trade mark of yoruba cities.

Lagos is made up of all the tribes' in Nigeria collective effort but Onitsha is based on only the effort of Igbos. Think about that.

Thats because ibos dont allow foreigners to thrive in their land, the way other allow them in their lands. There is no cosmopolitan town or city in ibo land.

SW develops because we welcome other peoples, if you shut your doors to others dont complain that you have to develop your area yourselves or boast that you did it yourself because that is a choice you made.

Get your facts right, Ibadan is not the only city in Oyo state. There is Oyo town itself, Oke Ogun area, shaki etc. Pls if you don't know, do a little visiting not research on internet as most of the information on internet about Nigeria are written by those who don't even live in the country. Are there slums in Ibadan? yes but that is the price of being a huge city in landmass, there is a reason why the city is in the Top 10 and it's because of its continued progress.

all those places you mentioned Igbo's are still in the majority , you asked why Yoruba's will travel down east your answer is competition..... You can't compete with the Igbo on any level playing ground that's the reason, you dominate only where there is an advantage that's a simple fact.we leave our comfort zone come to your comfort zone and still dominate. There are a lot of Igbo millionaires who don't have any business to do with Lagos have stayed all their lives down east you think we are all in Lagos my friend try and travel and see things for yourself...let me tell you if Igbo's should leave Lagos the economy off Lagos would shrink drastically what's keeping us here are our businesses which is linked to apapa if an alternative port is created down east the Yoruba's would regret it. Real estate is what it is in Lagos because of the Igbo's you so much despise

You are asserting with little information. This is the problem with Nigerians: we are loud even when we have little information about the subject matter.

In Kaduna state, we have Kaduna and Zaria (and maybe Kachia) as the major urban centres. All other towns are mostly rustic.

Whereas, in Anambra state, we have Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi as stand-out urban centres. I do not need to tell you of how prominent Nnewi (the least of this three) is in the West-African sub-region.

Now, tell me which of the two states do you think is more urbanized?

You folks need to start travelling at least. We know we are poor in Nigeria, but we shouldn't also drown in ignorance. Or wait, are we poor (and impoverished) because we are ignorant?
