Some of this igbos who own good looking buildings here in pH, don't even own a house back home

I weep for the educational system in Nigeria, even people who should know better are obviously as ignorant and as others who have never seen the four walls of a school.

The purpose of education is to ignite curiosity in any individual. When I saw this information I decided to check the primary source on WHO website and this is what I found out:

1) Only 12 cities in Nigeria were selected for the research. This includes Aba, Abakiliki, Enugu, Nnewi, Onitsha Umuahia, Orlu, Arfikpo, Owerri, Ile-ife, Kaduna and Nsukka. The reason is that the reasearch data was collected from;

Ngele and Onwu (2015), Reseach Journal of Chemical Sciences, Measurements of Ambient Air Fine and Coarse Particulate Matter in ten South-East Nigerian cities.

2)Lagos was not included in the research

3) only one SW and one northern Nigeria city was incuded

4) There figures from Ile-ife and Kaduna were obtained from manuscripts which were still in preparation.

5)The figure for Ile- ife is 103 ug/m3 and was obtained from measurement taken at the university campus. Note that, a more industrial city Nnewi has 57ug/m3 obviously due to the station were measurement was taken.

6) The figure for kaduna was taken at 2 industrial stations, the reason they have the high 423 ug/m3

7) Onitsha figure was obtained in a location referred to as "hot spot". That is at Niger bridge during high season when there is usually gridlock on the bridge with fume from so many vehicles.

Once again, I maintain that Nigeria education is useless going by the comments here. Because if you can browse Nairaland, you can equally browse WHO website to get the facts.

This is how colorful surulere flood is

Overcrowding..

Take a survey and see the population of Igbos living there, you'll be shocked.. honestly can't these guys stay away from SW?

I'm not happy with the neglect and 'I don't care attitude' Yorubas are displaying.. start demolishing properties and illegal structures to allow water move.
Drastic measures needs to be taken before it becomes too late

KemjikaEme:
I don't live in Abakaliki, so i'm not aware of such news.
Who is the man involved?
Do Hausa people dominate any part of Abakaliki? Are the Hausa people comitted to the development of any part of Abakaliki like the Igbos of Lagos?
Is the population of Abakaliki as hetrogenous as that of Lagos?
Can you compare the Igbo population and contribution in Lagos with that of Hausa in Abakiliki?
You see, these are strategic factors that will decide your political might or lack of it, it has nothing to do with tribalism in most cases.
