skj1377: The reason people migrate to a region is for better prospects . This simply means lack of satisfaction in their region for one reason or the other. How many Nigerians have migrated to Somalia or Afghanistan or Yemen. Now imagine some funny guy from Yemen telling you Ibadan is underdeveloped or has zinc rusted roofs then backs up his claim with pictures from a city in Yemen.
Anybody comparing southeast to southwest is mad
There’s nothing to compare. The only reason igbos hate southwesterners is because they see southwest as far ahead thus very bitter and envious
Southwest is not the mate of southeast in any ramification
FatherOfJesus: The dick measurement between southeast and southwest is not new to anyone here in nairaland and as someone who has toured both regions extensively, I have some observations to make so both parties can relate to it. Kindly note that in this analysis, I'm not including Lagos state, Lagos is miles ahead of any state in southeast or southwest, hence I will focus more on the other 5 states in southwest.
1. Foreign large-scale Industrialization:
My observation is that southwest is more industrialized that southeast in general, particularly the states of Oyo nd Ogun hold more industries than any state in southeast. However, states like Abia, Anambra and Enugu are more industrialized than Osun, Ekiti and Ondo.
2. Local industrialization: There's seem to be more of industries that are locally owned in southeast than southwest, particularly in Anambra and Abia. However, in Ogun nd Oyo, many local production are also taking place.
3. Agriculture: Southwest is far ahead of southeast when it comes to agricultural production including livestocks etc. I'm of the knowledge that southeast is more of a consumer market when it comes to agriculture except from Local rice production happening in Ebonyi state.
4. Standard of living: I will give this to southeast, southeastern usually don't like living in rickette and old looking houses as much as people from southwest. It is why when you look at the landscape of a town from southeast compared to that of southwest, southeast will most likely look better. Southeasterner invest a lot in buildings than southwest.
5. Commerce: We have more commercial activity in southeast than southwest, Abia and Anambra are more commercialized than any state in southwest. This is not to say that Oyo and Ogun are not doing well here as well. After Lagos and probably Kano, no state in Nigeria compares to Abia and Anambra when it comes to commercial activity.
6. Federal government presence: Southwest has more federal government impact than southeast. Southeasterner seem to be more independent of the government in whatever they do.
This is a decent overview and it should help us reach a common ground on this dick measurement.
Maybe you haven’t seen the slums in southeast.
Southeast has the least development and the worst of slums are in Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Aba.
It’s because people have been silent and nobody think about the east. But we don get their time to expose their deteriorated region online
I have traveled round Nigeria, the number of igbos in oyo is not upto 0.05% of igbos in kano , but kano people will never make noise about the large trading igbo communities in kano but yorubas will not let us sleep if there are 5 igbos in ibadan
I thought you people said igbos in Lagos are the ones making Lagos the most successful in Nigeria
If not they are elderly people, I know the kind insults I would have reigned on this cursed region. But these innocent elderly ones should not be caught in the cross fire. But if it’s the other case, these ipob cannibals have no respect for anyone
Enemies of Nairaland , southwest will know no peace. Hateful, bitter, envious cannibals that don’t like anything good will face calamities Producers of fake foods, drugs and drinks will all perish. Amen!!!!
