When i see yorubas bragging about having the best state in Nigeria, i can't help but laugh. That is true, Lagos is the most developed state in Nigeria, but the southern region is the most developed region in Nigeria. One thing about the Igbos i like is that they focus more and equal wealth distribution, that is why a very high percentage of the richest/upper middle class people in Nigeria are igbos. Some yorubas will say "ehnn, but there is no igbo man among the top ten richest in Nigeria" Honestly that is a stupid premises for comparison. The igbos, just like the Chinese, don't practice capitalism, where almost all the wealth in the country is possessed by the top 1% just like in American, but they are more of communists who focus more on the equal distribution of wealth and community welfare over personal gain. You can't compare the caliber of houses in the Southern Nigeria to those in any other part of Nigeria, even the best one's in Lagos sef, almost all of them are owned by Igbos.
