This list is trash won't be surprised if it was made by an igbo person.. have been to onitsha and I will tell u te truth there Is nothing there.. onistha is ravaged with bad roads, not properly planned and dirty. Urbanization is not all about building high rise buildings.. pH, ibadan and Abuja is far more better and urbanized than onitsha we all know this igbos no need chest beating on this..
Can you show me area in Ibadan that's planned?

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.
Displaying ignorant as usual because of hatred and jealousy. Have you heard about Onitsha Metropolis. When Last did you travel to Onitsha?. Stop siting in your Ogbomosho cave and thinking every other places is like your muddy Village. Travel and learn new things Osi mba. Sorry Onitsha is not your mate.

Don't mind the guy.Onitsha is a tiny 52 sq km overpopulated mere city without university,standard stadium etc all what real cities like Lagos,Abuja,Ibadan,Kano,PH etc are known for.

There's absolutely no list where Lagos n Los Angeles should be in proximity. Other than population

There's no comparison using whatever metric

Visiting trading and building are two different things. Onitsha is more than 90% Ndigbo, check the statistics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onitsha.
it is extremely rare to see a non igbo investment in onitsha

Ibadan is the only city in Oyo state other areas are jungle, Ibadan is 92% covered by slums -Un habitat

This is wrong!
In Oyo state there are other major urban centres aside Ibadan like Ogbomosho and Oyo (town). Aside these, we still have places like Iseyin, Shaki and co. that are fairly big.
Oyo is quite urbanized. Ogbomosho is as big as some tier-1 towns in other states.

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.

Oga leave Igbos alone, they already did their best for you guys condemning this government and warning you all initially. The rest is left for you guys, thank you for saying some particular people foisted this government on Nigerians. So I’m sure this particular people knows how to stop the government they foisted on Nigerians and not Igbos.

One thing most Nigerian will be shocked to find out is that the South east region as far back as the 90s have been paying the highest cost of petrol. This has been the case for a very long time and Igbos have just adjusted economically to it.

They didn't join the protest when GEJ partially took out the subsidy and they wont join any protest under buhari or any other president.

Forget the statistics from Yemi and his collaborators, the south east has a very strong middleclass that has been able to withstand so many harsh environment for decades.
I just laugh whenever they dish their miraculous statistics,like SE is poverty capital of the south.
Even a village farmer in the SE lives relatively well.

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.

Which stands to prove that we achieve greater things when we are united than when we decide to stand alone and allow tribalism rule over us.

Arrewa:
is Lagos not a state?

Lagos as a conurbation, not as a state. Lagos metropolis is now one big liaison of many cities and towns. It is called a conurbation. It is a rare occurrence but it is not so uncommon. The same is the issue with conurbations like New York, New Delhi, Osaka, Mexico city, Rio de Jaineiro and co. There is not much difference between Lagos as a state and Lagos as a city now. Urbanization has merged towns togethers within the state to form almost a unified metropolis. Ikorodu, Ikeja, Mushin, Lagos Island, VI, Ketu, Apapa, Ojo, Agege and co. are historically separate towns that have now merged together in a conurbation.

Within this context, Lagos (the city) is the subject matter.

We don't have to travel to Onitsha,We have our personal houses there,I mean our extended families..Go to Ugah street at Fegge, you will see Yorubas that have bought up all your lands and pushed you Igbos to the slummy and dirty part of Onitsha.
To be honest, Onitsha is the most developed part in Igboland but not to be compared with the other real and big cities like Ibadan,Lagos,Kano.
It is built up alright because Igbos even in Lagos like to jampack themselves in an area.

Lecture them bros.. They created one of the worst living environment in the East post Biafran war and vehemently insisted on destroying the area. Folks simply aclamitised quickly as a means of survival... The rest is history. I have always said that the most ruthlessly dogged African you will ever run into is the igbo and it has little to do with him per-se.. it has all to do with the rugged survival skills he has accumulated over time in the face of ceaseless oppression in Nigeria..

Next, someone will ask you why the SE doesn't want to join to protest against police check points for instance. It conviniently flies over their head that since the end of the war, a police check point every two poles has become the normal practice in the East.. Interestingly, when the east complains about these, the rest of the country shouts them down, only to be confused why the east stays away when they start their funny charades they call protests over the same issues.

I served in Igboland and I'm telling you these facts:

1. There are no good jobs there, and the cost of living is very high, even in the villages.

2. In Owerri, the only thing boosting the economy there is the presence of uncountable hotels.

3. Igbos do not trust each other, that's why I laugh at them when they say they want Biafra.

4. Igbos don't just like money , they worship money as a God.

5. It's only in Lagos, here they brag. There is nothing in their states.

6. The development and progress there is engineered as a result of borders shared with South South states.

7. And mind you, the empty vessel makes the loudest noise, and you can see they are the ones clamouring for Biafra, whereas South South is silent and focusing on states development.

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?

This is not true, the reasons why there are few and diminishing brown roofs in Igboland is simply down to the peoples love for modernisation. It engenders healthy competition. Most importantly, the Igbos cultural practices have given them opportunities to pursue modernization of buildings. One of such is burials. You dare not bury your parents, especially your father in front of his house which might be old. Buildings are always renovated before burials. In extreme cases they are given a complete makeover and redesigned. In my small village in Abia North. There are buildings that were renovated before burials that a stranger would mistake for brand new buildings. Another occasion is Christmas celebrations. People make efforts to uplift their houses so they can host friends and relations with pride and in relative comfort.
