Abagworo:

There is no city in the Southwest better than Aba, apart from Lagos. Your judgement is rather based on pictures of bad areas posted by Abians who are frank in criticizing their non-performing Governor. You hide under the cloak of pride and tribalism and live in those backard cities of Oshogbo, Ogbomosho, Ibadan, Ife, Ilesha, Abeokuta etc. And refuse to show the world how bad the situation is.

geez*:


This easily explains the rush to the SW by your people and why less Yorubas are interested in traveling to the barren lands of the east

Abagworo:

Only natives of Lagos can proudly claim the above.

Ok I am a native of lagos and proud to claim that statement. jk jk Vanity

ak47mann: barren land? this boy u really need help,the reason we have few yorubas in the east is that most of you guys cant challenge competitiveness in the east mumu... either u like it or not,my state in an oil producing state with self reliance,private refinery,biggest market in Africa all this things are documented,but with all ur bragging u dont have a refinery in the whole region

I have told you that already,u are not smart,u cant pull out tangible facts to challenge me KID

I'm from Lagos but proudly Yoruba and you can't compare the number of Yorubas in Igboland to the number of Igbos in Yorubaland outside Lagos. They are all over the SW which they describe as desolate while Yorubas do not in anyway find the SE attractive for any economic reason

londoner: Is Ibadan not in Nigeria?

If there is good news from there, it is good for Nigeria....no?

Also Nigeria does not begin and end with one region, state or tribe.

It is only when all corners are doing well that Nigeria can be said to be doing well.

There last time I checked.......statistics that take the whole country into account, are not looking so good that people should have time to engage in this type of argument.

I have to say this.....it is usually the [b]Nigerian men [/b]and their d.!ck measuring that causes this on NL.

And they say it is we women that engage in cat fights....lol

solomonkane:

LMAO!!! That is a lie my dear and you know it, so many of these useless bigots are also women, take your time going through the thread (and similar ones) and see them for yourself. You know that in reality; most of them are failures who have never achieved any meaningful thing in their lives (apart from access to free internet).

demmy: This thread was not suppose to turn ugly. It was simply to report what the Financial Times said, i.e that Ibadan is one of the five cities in Africa to watch for future investment. Some of our Igbo brothers don't like that for whatever reason. Talk of bad belle.

ngozievergreen:
Exactly, bt d first tribalistic comment was made by a yoruba. Yes, he started comparing d financial times stories to d east, n d rest of u followed suit(review d posts if u lyk) . But den d igbos here r now tellin u dat we r aware its nt well with u dat we are all over naija(go to d north) n making tnz happen plus d fact we own tnz in d east. Aside of cos, d yorubas dt sell moi moi in d evnings @ enugu which cant compete with d biz @ Aba,nnewi,onitsha.
Plus,u shd drop ur IGR stuff cos dey r goin back to d govt dat put dem in lagos. U ppl r only lucky u r proximal to lagos,hence d spill over. I repeat,most tnz in d sw r for foreigners,fed govt n Igbos. U ppl lyk d hausas dnt own much in d east but full ground here(@ owerri road). u personally resorted to insults wch is a sign of defeat.
however, am nt goin to engage in any further cross-arguements wt u cos i knw u relish dat. N to prove hw predictable u are, u wil disagree wt me

Abagworo:

You are a big liar. I came into this thread when someone wrote that Igbos are all over Southwest while Igboland is barren. He also wrote that Aba is poo. I can't shut my mouth while falsehood is being spread here in order to downgrade Igbos.

geez*:


Better in what sense? Economically? Just review my posts on this thread. You should know better and this isn't about pictures but GDPs and IGRs. How is the size of an economy determined? The GDP figures cannot be ignored and the GDP of Lagos, Ogun and Oyo are higher than that Abia while their IGRs are also higher.

geez*:


Obviously the land is barren and retrogressive because I still don't even understand why the few ones that do some business here can't even replicate such in the SE. There are opportunities in the SW because successive governments have created the platform for businesses to thrive which is largely absent in the SE. And you're the same people that scream 'divide us' the most. Anyway I can't wait for that day

geez*:


Your life will be miserable for the rest of it if for any reason you or any member of your family makes a living from, lives in or transacts business in the SW

Tusky44: Determinants of a city with potential include but are not limited to the following:

Skill pool of talents NOT Yoruba, Alakija, Oluwole, Agboro, Baba Ijebu, Juju man etc.

World-class infrastructure NOT useless road and railway, dirty corner shops (kiosk), no electricity, poo infested hospitals etc.

Decent housing for immigrants NOT rusty roof sheets on old buildings, and mud houses with babalawo inside.

Good & healthy food for residents NOT Amala & ewedu with one gallon of oil, ewa and gbegiri, eforiro with sand and leaf.


So can someone tell me why any investor would want to head for Ibadan? Clean up that state and then we can have a conversation but until then, dream on

Biafra rep: UNINTELIGENT! The Chinese are all over the world doing what they know how best to do, does it now depict that China is backward? Please allow me to teach you basic economics. When someone produces goods or services at a cheaper rate than his contemporaries, due to his skills or better opportunities, he is said to have comparative advantage. This is the reason why you find the Chinese in Angola or Igbos in Mali, its not because the places are more developed, rather they move from stiff competition at home to virgin areas they can dominate. You see why Igbos are really smart? Go to any spare part market in Sub-saharan Africa, you will marvel at how the Igbos control the supply chain and the most interesting aspect is that they make Nnewi their hub!

Rossikk: As for their food, the less said about that the better.

There are many cities in India that definitely do not have ''world class infrastructure'', yet are booming with foreign investment and local innovation. As for their food, the less said about that the better.

my Ibhoe pipu camping on a Yoruba thread, like gentle vultures, how far?

solomonkane: Have to say the comments on this thread and similar threads are beyond imbecilic and show how idiotic the posters are. You accursed Igbo & Yoruba bigots really need to get lives; your mates are out there doing big things with their lives, you are spending yours trolling about whose slum is bigger and whose poo smells more like the bastards that you are. That Ibadan has enormous potentials is an indisputable fact, deal with it.
