Oshogbo, State capital of Osun State

I can say that 3/4s of this city is slum. There are some newer developments to the east of the city proper but they look like scattered rich man's homes.

you are looking for trouble i hipe you know that.

Guy, make u know as u go dey abuse things o. Currently na where I dey and I don't think there's a slum as u said. Abi u and Aregbesola dey quarrel?
Hmm...politics things

It is clear from the satelite that this is 80percent slum state capital. This sophisticated people sef..

I don't know why many cities in the South West are unplanned like we're seeing with Oshogbo. I've checked google overviews of Onitsha, Aba, Owerri and Enugu, and i noticed the older sections of the city are well planned; however new estates and settlements springing up in these cities look exactly like what we're seeing in Oshogbo! The whole of Awka looks unplanned, so it's not all cities in the South East that are like that!

What this shows is a failure of leadership in recent years!

Ikengawo, can you do same for Aba and Onitsha so peeps see what i'm talking about.

you are inviting the wrath of musiwa

^^^I wouldn't call what we're seeing a slum......rather it's more a case of the city being unplanned!

Did you also see the crescents in that map. Sign of B............. H................m.

Most cities in Nigeria today aren‘t planned. People just buy land and build houses without supervision from the relevant Ministries of Urban and Rural Development.

From the maps shown above, one information is certain, the satellite images are not up to date.

The maps for the Eastern region simply shows that Igbos are doing well. Show me crescents?

For some reason I can't upload Aba :/

i will try later.

Most Nigerian cities follow the same path, but once it gets to residential housing estates the builders don't give a damn! Some of the new development should incorporate satelite technology because while on the ground the new roads look nice, from the sky they're crooked and look like a child drew them. It will eventually cause long term problems because if blocks aren't uniformed it's hard to plan and budget their development.

Awka is not unplanned because it has got UN-Habitat masterplan alongside Onitsha and Nnewi which is being implemented now.

what's that?

I didn't realize that my village as so close to Anambra. I used to wonder why I understood musicians from Anambra better than some from my own Imo state. Northern Igbo artists no problem though

@Op, there you go again. U want to start u can't win or finish. By they come Una go begin cry. U know you guys are experts at whining. ;d

^^^I also don't like the useless camera they used for some sections of Nigeria; compared to the bright vivid ones for some western cities like London for instance. Just go to Google Earth and you'd realise what i mean. Also like you said, the captures for some Nigerian cities are old and not yet updated!

The camera is the same everywhere. Many nigerian cities are completely full of dust and this dust enters the atmosphere giving everything a very hazy look. Also, many of the european cities were active in their photography and made sure to take pictures from all corners to that you can enable 3D viewing while lawmakers in Nigeria are discussing Goodluck Jonathan's wife.

^^^Owerri and Aba are the best planned cities in the South East, then comes Onitsha (new areas like Awada, Woliwo, GRA, etc) and Enugu.

^^^I suppose you're right......maybe the images were captured during harmattan.

Notice the difference in clarity between the Awka and Enugu pics.....the Awka one looks fresher and greener!

a lot of the northern pictures look very hazy as well (btw that region is nothing to write home about as we could all guess, though the middle belt is surprisingly the economic life of the whole north), so that's where i drew my conclusion from
Pollution is also a factor, we're looking at a mix of car exhaust and dust. Aba and Onitcha have enormous populations and a lot of activity, so it'll look hazy where as laid back places like Owerri Oshogbo and Awka are going to look 'cleaner'. Lagos also have a grey haze.

I noticed that as well. I think Yoruba land is majority muslim, the density of mosques in a lot of places resembles the north, not even the middle belt has that many in such a tight area

Its very clear that you're taking pictures of the outskirts of town there the rich live, every town has these. Use the area where google designates as the city because of it's centripetal location. You can't take a picture of 2 city blocks zoomed in extremely close and call it oshogbo, you even searched the cities rail station as opposed to the city it's self.

Progressive Moderators have disabled my ability to upload pictures...

How? Are you sure about that allegation?

Question for Deltans and Anambrans.


What's the story behind these islands between both states in the Niger Delta? Who owns them and what are they used for?
