God's willing, they can never pull you down my sweet Ibadan

Ilovemystate:


no wahala we rock some people are seriously having their worst nightmares, you remember one pastor that saw Igbo giant chasing him in dream, that what the low life is experiencing inferiority complex at the peak

There is a difference between what a people built for themselves and what their government built for them......

Igbos will always be king in that direction,they are self made.

comodo:
They believe in "until you bring Ur wealth home. you will not be considered a rich fella." Some even put up edifices in their state while living as a tenant in Ur compound. was shocked when we went on a condolence visit for a co tenant in NRI town. our jaws dropped when we saw his state of d art mansion in his village. We fear no be small.

Thats just precisely the truth. No matter what u have outside your Home, you remain a nobody at Home until u make some visible achievement at Home

If you're looking for a city with proper urban planning and charming looking houses, Ibadan is the place to live.

Who are the government and what did they build? Most of those buildings you see there are personally owned. Of course you'll see businesses and companies owned by foreigners and Yorubas too. That's the difference between Onitsha and Ibadan. Onitsha is all scattered houses and apartments. Oil money doesn't trickle down to Ibadan people

Before una say ibadan is all brown roof no? I'm just showing some proof of urbanization. I've got more pictures to show.

Ibadan. Ibadan people, so una get fine places and una dey let them post brown roof pictures all these time? Quiet urbanization

Notice how, unlike Onitsha pictures, these are different locations

ours is big and old but theirs is small but mighty and charming. only an hypocrite won't be marveled at the skyline of onitsha as a first time comer to the east.my people can take dressing from our this people on our they value decency in structures.funny how my fellow yoruba corpers branded me a village boy during my service year in anambra after i av been to virtually 16 states in nigeria including fct and lagos even gone outside the shore of nigeria because of my famous quote "omo igbo people dey build house" and this people we be like you never reach lagos before na y u dey talk like this.and I will be like am I from lagos to claim of it?#justsayin

Lamentation of a frustrated fella

High cost of petrol may have caused high cost of drugs too, so I understand and feel your pain

I wouldn't mind starting a charity to raise donated funds for you to make sure those drugs are in steady supply because you obviously needs it

Only a hater will say that Ibadan, the ancient city, hasn't urbanized.

If you want charming houses, Ibadan is the place.

Onitsha is like 1/5 of Ibadan. Ibadan has more areas to cover.

You dont get the op 's points. see its not that east is møre urbanised than oda regions. It is the facts that the entire east was grossly destroyed during the war. The Ibadan u r fast comparing to onitcha never witness federal destruction unlike onicha. The op is simply saying that for easterners to surmount such a wanton destruction they must be great in spirit.

Can you see what am seeing? Yes,that is why they can never be igbo

YourMrBoo:
That onitsha video came at the right time...

People were shocked especially those that have not visited the east...

Our God is good... And in near future there will be a city more populous than lagos born in the east...

Thank you

In biafra we shall build a better lagos in less than ten years

dontaskdonttell:
For more than 11 months now, I have been viewing as guest mostly in political section, entertainment and business, political section is my favorite, my experiences for the past eleven months motivated me to sign in, one thing I noticed during my observation period was some tribalism, hatred and jealousy by some individuals, there are major culprits which I don't want to mention here, you know them, sometime I ask myself how can this nation move forward with so much hatred, jealousy in this beautiful country God blessed us with, he gave us every thing from North east west and south, God blessed all the tribes in Nigeria one thing or more, but our major problem is how to harness and manage our God giving resources, I believe the three major tribes are to be blame. same hatred and Jealousy pushed Nigeria to the first civil war that millions of souls were lost in both side, thank God we came together, but have we learn from our mistakes, I don't think so, some time I believe black man is natural wicked, just check around you and beyond, all African countries same thing is holding blacks down, because of poverty and quest for political power African man can commit any kind of atrocities just to acquire power and once he succeed he /she will practically forget his manifesto to the poor masses that voted him/her in, and their political sycophants (willing tools) they sell their conscience for peanuts, they are after their stomach and immediate family, our great economics once says "Our recent history has shown that it hardly matters where the occupant of a particular position comes from. I am not sure how the welfare of Ota/Ogun people changed because Obasanjo was president of Nigeria, or how the man in the street of Katsina or Otuoke/Bayelsa prospered more than others simply because their son became president". Region that motivated me to write this are Igbos in eastern region, this was a region that their land was leveled by Nigeria military force and their allies, they virtually lost every thing, shelter, food, cash and some of their properties outside Igboland, I don't want to blame any body for the souls and misfortunes that we experienced as a nation during and after the war, if you have travel round this country you will understand my point, if you are not easterner and probably visiting east for the first time your feelings and perception will be a deserted region and possibly village as we watch in home movies, that was my and so many of my friends, when I was opportune to visit east do to the nature of my job, before I got to Asaba airport I was like wow! moving down towards Onitsha bridge here come another beautiful skyline we have in this nation, Onitsha high rises were standing like Chines soldiers on parade the bridge look so beautiful and the road when I got to Owerri that was were my Job took me to very lovely city I had funny in owerri, there was never a dull moment, same job took me to Enugu and Umuahia, but before I got to Enugu we went through Awka another beautiful city within Anambra, journey to Enugu was rough because of bad federal road but when we arrived it was getting later, although the city was light up and there was night life, Enugu to me is well planned city after ABJ, people I met were very calm and easy going, Umuahia too look very beautiful, but one thing I kept asking my self, this was a region I had different perception of, this was a region that lost all their properties during the war, and I was assuming the region was deserted because of large numbers of Igbos we have in Lagos, Abuja and every nooks and crannies of this nation and beyond, you don't blame me because I thought the hardship they faced during and after Nigeria civil war would have pushed majority them out of their region, coupled with the policies out political elites initiated after the war, I realized Igbos has indomitable spirit, hate them, jealousy them you can never kill their spirits, you can see them how they are pulling the strings in education, Innovation, commerce and industry, art, entertainment and sport, east to me, has the highest number of human resourses in Nigeria, Igbos produced great men and women such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Micheal Opara, Alvan Ikokwu,Okadigbo, Akani Ibim, Achebe, Chika Obi, Oby, Aunty Dora, Kanu, Okocha, Chioma Ajuwa, Genevieve, P square, Don jazzy, Chima umunna, Soludo, Pat Utomi, Innoson, Tony Elumalu, Chimamanda, and others greats sons and daughters of Igbo, other Nigeria also contributed but just imagine Nigeria without Igbos? How do we unite with love to build a great nation, we are so divided now, we hate, kill and envy ourselves can we succeed? I guess with love,peace and unity in North, west, south and east we will over come the challenges we are passing through, but the question who will unite Us?

For those of us who have not been to east here is the videos and pictures that I viewed as a guest yesterday and today that made me to join nairaland family, Onitsha video wowed me, although I passed through the road on my way to Owerri, but what surprised me how these guys were able to do this few years after losing the war? it now goes to the quote from our great economics our recent history has shown that it hardly matters where the occupant of a particular position comes from. I am not sure how the welfare of Ota/Ogun people changed because Obasanjo was president of Nigeria, or how the man in the street of Katsina or Otuoke/Bayelsa prospered more than others simply because their son became president , second video and third Innoson Chuku, I was able to read his biography, what a great man that started from scratch and got to the level in a short time without coming from region that had dominated political power.

Patriotic citizen

Yes igbos have an indomitable spirit

You Ibos can lie. Ibadan has been one of the most neglected city in the SW. Stop discrediting another man's work to make yourself look good. Many of the buildings you see there are personal owners. Ah ahnn liars. Federal ko

Ogbeni, you can as well hang yourself because of the op's testimony of Igbos.

Who will unite all tribes that we all will be proud of our nation love and live in peace.





how can we be proud when we see this color flying? We are so divided more than ever before, open any social media you will understand even our leaders in all political parties are not doing anything to pull us out from this, Africans are natural wicked.

thanks for your beautiful piece of write up, the fact is there are good people and inspiring people irrespective of the region and ethnic group. I have respect for Yoruba, Hausa and other minor ethnic tribes in Nigeria. No region is perfect, the only problem is stereotypes..

nawtyme:

You can add "THE MAKING OF AN AFRICAN LEGEND". It was authored by the same Fredrick forsyth. My Dad refused to let go of his own copy and after reading that book many years ago, I got mine. I would advice every Igbo youth to get this book and read.

where do you get this book's pls? I'd be happy to have a copy

WHEN AN IBO PRETENDS TO BE ANOTHER TRIBE TO PRAISE HIS OWN KINSMEN

Ezemust:

I told a book hawker at RTC park in water line to look for the book at all cost for me and gave him my number. When he got the book, he called me and I asked someone to go and pick it up and send to Abuja for me. But this happened long ago. I suggest you try the hawkers, or go to a good book shop and ask for it.
