OVB123:
I have been reasoning, having traveled to most state capitals in Nigeria and seening how underdevelop most capital cities are, it is pertinent to state the list of the most underveloped capital cities in Nigeria by geo-political zone:

(1) south east - Umuahia (Abia state).

(2) South south - Yenogoa (Bayelsa state).

(3) South west - Ado ekiti (Ekiti state).

(4) North central - Lokoja (Kogi state).

(5) North east - Damaturu (Yobe state).

(6) North west - Gusau (Zamfara state).

What is your opinion on this rating? Please no insult guys.

No state capital in Nigeria is developed, they are all pieces of shit including ikeja and Port harcourt by global standard but the worst I have visited are as follows:

1. Lokoja (this one na dead place)
2. Lafia (na only two dualized road dey for here)
3. Ado Ekiti (mtcheew)
4 Umuahia (the government here is sleeping)
5. Yenegoa (this place na total disgrace).
6. Awka ( it's an expressway capital with 3 flyovers and 2 dualized roads)


The best I have visited by Nigerian standard are:
1. Port harcourt
2. Enugu
3. Ibadan
4. Owerri
5. Ilorin
6. Ikeja

Ps: I have not visited Kaduna and Kano state.

OVB123:
Well said my Bro. The only dissagreement I can see here is Ibadan, she should be replace with Kano or Uyo city.

izombie:
There is no developed city in Nigeria. Development is not by how many buildings you have.
Do you have good accesible road network? Properly equipped hospitals? Access to water and electricity? Etc. It's 2023 and there are pit toilets everywhere in Nigeria. The country itself is not developed. Period.

alimiadedayo1:
you dont know what you are saying.. have you been to ibadan before?

Umuahia township is well planned, what she needs are modern buildings, good infrastructures and sanitation. The shopping complex located at the former Ogwumabiri market should be removed or redesigned.

In bold:
And you think you know what development of state capital is? And you don't take into account the development of the entire Imo state?
Okigwe, Orlu and Owerri were on nearly equal status of urban development in 1976 when Imo state was created.

But because people of Owerri zone in a primitive greed style lobbied for, and got located in Owerri all institutions of government that induce modern development wherever located, no consideration for Okigwe and Orlu zones; that is what you are celebrating.
Result is Imo state governors struggle to provide matching urban infrastructures in only the expanding Owerri; as most of the population in Okigwe and Orlu zones drift to Owerri which is now made up of Old Owerri, New Owerri and other Owerris springing up in the once rural areas in Owerri senattorial district.
The underdevelopment of rest of Imo state outside Owerri district is stinking. The underdevelopment has since 2011 been accelerated by two hatefilled governors from Orlu senatorial district who see a political enemy in Orlu LGA. The present governor has since inception of his administration, practically arrested modern development in Orlu, the 2nd largest urban centre in Imo state. He is very happy for what he has done. As he cannot do a development project outside Owerri except reconstructing federal roads linking Owerri to other places in Imo State. You count the blessings of your Owerri hometown but do not count the arrested development of rest of Imo state.

North Central.
Lafia is terrible for a capital city.
Minna is not that good too.
Forget lokoja the aura and atmosphere alone oozes of nonsense.

North west
Gusau the name suggest its gutter.
Sokoto that one is just there.

North East
Except for maiduguri and gombe the rest are rubbish.

South South
Yenagoa is over rated.
Benin too many old buildings.

South East.
Umuahia is rubbish.
Abakaliki is picking up compared to the last time I was there.
Awka could still do better.
Owerri is not that bad.

I have been to all the states in Nigeria so I am talking from experience.

Egbon, Uyo may not be up to Ibadan but Kano city, "Abeg shoes get sizes"

Ofemannnu:

Dont mind them.Tell them to post videos of Igboland.They will post videos of the 52 km square Onitsha from multiple angles and maybe 4 more videos of their buildings and then no more good place to show in Igboland except slums upon slums.

Call them out to post 10 good videos of Igboland.For where

Sunnyhillsfarms:

The old Calabar, not the Calabar of today..
Calabar stinks now

Workch:
Ibadan is very okay by Nigerian standard , I'm not joking.

Akinomoakin021:

Try visit Akure

BanyXchi:
the whole of iboland is same landmass with Oyo state

nazicartel:
ilorin is perfectly planned

OVB123:
Lokoja is a dead city. As worst as Minna, she is ahead of Lokoja. Mtcheeew!

mistacoco2:
Abeokuta that is filled with dilapidated buildings and brown roofs. The only manageable place is oke-mason to omida, the rest places are shi.t holes.

Bahamas95:
Lokoja is the worst, at times I wonder if that state even has a governor.



Bad roads everywhere, a pregnant woman can have miscarriage after plying most of the roads in Kogi state.
