Guy, the joke is on you because you are the one who feels the need to run down Ibadan to hype your own glorified villages and towns that you call cities. Please try and proof read your posts before hittng the submit button coz you just keep exposing your foolishness. You keep calling Lagos and ibadan slums, yet your people won't stop emigrating to those places as can be attested by their ever-increasing population growth and development. Upon all the hype you get paid to do for your state, your own folks are still talking with their feet by fleeing your enclave in droves for the very same region you love to hate. Nobody gives a flipping Bleep about you or your slum-campaign coz at the end of the day you are a nobody who is merely doing his job of propaganda for your boss. You are way beneath me in every ramification so I refuse to do for free what you are getting paid to do. Nah. I am way beyond that.

UN report not Anambra report

Ibadan, Nigeria,

by Laurent Fourchard

Summary

The intense crowding and subsequent deterioration of Ibadan’s inner city took place over a long period, closely linked to socio-economic change and limited municipal budgets. The, in principle, well-planned town thus turned into a slum. In 1963, half of the city’s core area consisted of slum dwellings, growing to 94 per cent of the town’s total number of derelict housing in 1985. Problems of illegal squatting, conversion of functions and extremely poor levels of service provision are compounded by the apparent lack of financial capacity and political will to upgrade such a large area. In addition, people strongly oppose resettlement due to their strong attachment to the ancestral lands.

During the past 20 years, the planned city saw a growth of squatting areas along the urban fringes and in the crowded low- and medium-income residential areas of the first half of the 20th century. Massive cash injections in urban utilities and infrastructure during the 1970s oil boom attracted a flow of rural migrants and citizens of other African states. Considerable unplanned development thus occurred along the major traffic arteries in the northern, eastern and southern directions, resulting in urban areas entirely devoid of urban management and planning. Whatever facilities were provided in these relatively prosperous times rapidly declined due to overuse and lack of maintenance. Rapid development of makeshift shelters since the 1980s largely corresponds to general, nation-wide increases in poverty.

Slums are defined as those areas that are yet to develop in terms of good planning and settlement. Some of the characteristics of slums are that they lack infra-structural facilities, have no planned layout and the residents are predominantly poor and illiterate. Slums are areas that concentrate low-income earners, low-cost houses, possibly mud houses, no layout and poor inhabitants.

The three main slum types in Ibadan are:

Inner city slums: these consist of the oldest (19th century) and lowest quality residences and are characterized by severe deterioration, the city’s highest population density and no identifiable sanitation facilities. They house a very high percentage of indigenous Yoruba people.

Squatting areas: the low- and medium-income residential districts of the first half of the 20th century – although better controlled by the planning authorities – have attracted some illegal squatting by migrants from the 1970s and 1980s onwards. Squatting is highly organized and cannot be considered as spontaneous.

Unplanned outskirts: from the 1970s to the 1990s, land along the major traffic arteries has attracted slums in the north, the east and the south of the city. Here, at the outskirts of the city, 30 per cent of the derelict houses in Ibadan are found. Most of them have developed because a new labour market gave opportunities for employment, but without housing provision. Some spontaneous slums also exist in other parts of the city; but few data are available.

There are serious problems with migrants’ access to land, partly because of discriminatory allocation of urban land, particularly with the last migration wave of the Hausa during the late 1970s. The uncertain political situation and the ethnic riots of the past 30 years are associated with loss of property. Migrants, therefore, prefer to rent in order to allow for a quick departure in emergencysituations. There is, generally, a high percentage of poor and illiterate people; but the percentage varies from slum to slum.

Since the 1950s, Nigerian urban governance has had three separate levels of government that directly intervene: federal, state and local government. During the 1960s to the 1980s, the power of local authorities decreased. Local government largely viewed slums as inevitable and not an issue that could be addressed at the local level. Thus, only marginal interventions took place, if any. A series of interventions to improve slums and alleviate poverty took place from 1988 onwards. However, the failure to address weak local-level capacity to formulate strategies, programmes and projects, combined with rampant corruption and conflicts between various levels of governance, wasted most of the resources.

Multiple agencies responsible for generating urban policies have not been able to effect urban improvements. Rather, duplication of functions and lack of coordination has affected the entire city. Conflicts of jurisdiction and competence, the absence of effective coordination between levels of government, frequent bureaucratic changes, low priority for urban planning, and the commensurate lack of funding have caused delays and confusion in the execution of urban policies.

[s] are the ignoramus here coz total ibadan landmass has always been reckoned to be almost as large as the entire Lagos landmass, some parts of which aren't fully built up even. Its landmass stands at 3080-square km (which isn't farfetched when you consider Oyo state total landmass is about 29,000-square km). Every available data corroborates that. And that landass still remains the largest of any single city in the entire West Africa. #Fact. Population-wise it has the third most populated metro-area outside Lagos and Kano (as at the 2006 census, ibadan population was reckoned to be third largest [close to 3-million, which was almost the entire population of Enugu state as at 2006] behind Lagos and Kano with kano edging it out by about 200k inhabitants, while Onitsha recorded a meager 261k population figure). Results from a recent Oyo state government property enumeration exercise puts the current estimated population of ibadan at no less than 7-million. [/s]

Oduavanguard your long essay doesn't change the fact that 94% of Ibadan people are living in slums, stop deceiving yourself, it not about landmass, Lagos is the smallest but bigger economy, Anambra economy is fourth largest after Lagos, Rivers and FCT, Niger state is largest in landmass but Imo state is more economically viable, Oyo is large no doubt, but Anambra trashed Oyo in banks transactions, which CBN said can be use to measure viable states, with Oyo landmass, Anambra host more bank branches than Oyo state, more industries, more markets, more productive in agro sector, oil and gas etc., Ibadan is the only city in Oyo largely covered by slums, this is a state I know it's not about media propaganda, showing two skyscrapers at Dugbe while streets are slums and dirty doesn't make sense, If I start posting pictures of Anambra na you go run.

I hope you read the report huh

You should be more concern that about 66% of Lagos population lives in slums. In fact, the city has been dubbed the mega-city of slums.

Politics › Demography Of Lagos by TundeBricklayer(op): 9:41am On Jun 26, 2018*

DEMOGRAPHY OF LAGOS
Lagos has a very diverse population due to heavy migration from other parts of Nigeria and surrounding countries. The originators, Yoruba are the dominant ethnic group. There are more than 250 ethnic groups represented in Lagos, which includes the major ethnic groups of Africa like the Hausa, Igbo, and Fulani. Small minorities of American, British, East Indian, Chinese, white Zimbabwean, Greek, Syrian, Lebanese and Japanese are also present in the city.
In the mid of the 19th Century, a large number of ex- slaves of Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Cuban descent and emigrants from Sierra Leone created communities in Lagos, along with ex-slaves from the Americas. They became missionaries and merchants in the city.
The city faces a major issue of inequality in the distribution of wealth and income.While there are many millionaires in Lagos, about 66% of the population lives in slums. In fact, the city has been dubbed the “mega-city of slums,” with millions living in and around the lagoons with no access to roads, clean water, electricity or waste disposal.

POPULATION GROWTH AND POPULATION DENSITY IN LAGOS

The population of Lagos was 1.4 million in 1970, which saw a tremendous rate of increase reaching a 21 million scale. The city is home to a huge number of millionaires and at the same time generates 25% of the Nigeria’s Total gross domestic product. It is also the 8th fastest growing city in Africa.
Lagos’s population is growing at a very fast rate and with this pace it will have a population of 300 million in the coming 25 years. With the population doubling over the last 15 years, living standards across Nigeria remain poor. Today, 25% of Africans are Nigerian.
By 2050, Lagos’ population is expected to double, which will make it the 3rd largest city in the world but with less infrastructure than any other large cities of the world.
Lagos has a population Density of 13,000 per square miles.

FACTS ABOUT LAGOS

1. Lagos have south-easterners representing them in the House of Assembly.

2. Renting a house in Lagos is really very expensive and the most expensive in the entire West Africa.

3. Of all the 36 Nigerian states, Lagos state is the smallest and at the same time the most Populous State in Nigeria.

4. The country accommodates 1200 new people daily.

5. It has the Highest Number of Millionaires and at the same time highest number of slums in Nigeria.

6. Lagos is the Nigerian state that handles majority of the country’s imports that accounts to 80% of the total imports.

7. Playing host to the city of Lagos, the state of Lagos is considered to be among the fastest growing states in the world. The city of Lagos is responsible for propelling Lagos state to an economic hub.

Btw, i'm not from Edo state, i am your brother if you accept.

All what you listed up there i don't refute but saying it serves as the lagos of south east or/ south south is pure exaggeration.

Some part of lagos has got a serene/peaceful environment, some part business area, some part home for hospitality but you can't say such for anambra, you cant name an area in anambra that is good for hospitality better than enugu, you cant also name an area more commercial than Aba, you can't also name an area more industrialised like portharcourt, anambra just has all of the afore mentioned in little quantites so can't serve as the lagos of south east/ south south cause lagos has it all and can't be compared in all of the above to any south western state.

so what's the big deal is Onitsha is build up with that small land mass?

cc tundebricklayer
the post above is addressing your ignorance too.

see attached picture. use Google and prove me wrong

Largely filled with slums, that's a town I know very well, I did my NYSC in Oyo state, Onitsha metro doesn't end in Onitsha north and south, Onitsha has expanded to four more LGs, Onitsha is smallest among the five LGs that make-up Onitsha metro. Go to the table of the demogaphia and check out areas that was built up by descent buildings and checkout Ibadan that have descent buildings not slums.

most built up means the cities with least available undeveloped landmass. Onitsha and Lagos are small hence they are on top of the list.

it's easier to build up Lagos and Onitsha but it's not easy to build up Ibadan that is twice the size of entire Anambra state!!!
