desmond2pk:
Its high time Ibo politicians and business men came together to build a first class city for themselves and international community.
The political events nowadays have reveal how unstable Nigeria is for ibos.
Though, ibos have cities that can be compared to other cities from other part of Nigeria, i think, its time to bring dubai to Africa.
Most cities in Nigeria were developed by the ibos. So it will not be difficult to replicate what what have done in other places in their own regions.

They are building it in Ragos and when they finally get biafra, they will join Ragos together with biafra.....

Bar Lagos which is of course a cosmopolitan enclave built by all Nigerians and foreign investors, no state and I repeat NO STATE in the SW beats any state in the SE in infrastructural development, human development index, and projected industrialization on any indices. I'm ready to argue my point/stand with anyone that's actually serious enough to debate me on this.

SouthEastFacts:
Enugu is a world-class city. In 2015 it was recognised alongside Paris, London, Athens, Barcelona as one of the Top 100 most resilient cities in the world

That doesn't make it a world class city. Do you even know what ''resilient'' means?

What the East needs is to build its current cities INTO world class cities. No need to start a new city from scratch.

Take Enugu for instance. They only build up the major roads, largely ignoring side roads and inner city roads. Even when they do remember those sections, the roads are substandard. No sidewalks, no markings or streetlights. Open gutters. Why not deal with that and raise the standards of those cities rather than building brand new cities?

So they need to solve all those issues in Enugu, Owerri, Aba and other cities there. Same as cities around the country by the way, except Abuja.

Those cities are going to require massive renovation and rehabilitation, and frankly, building a brand new city from scratch is better. Or better still, build an Obuaku city (as proposed in the 1980s) and then uplift the current cities- at least two...

But guess what, not with the likes of Ikpeazu and Okorocha, Obiano, and the female Ugwuanyi.

Or is it Orji Kalu going to senate that will support? Talkless of Theo Orji....

ALmost 20 years these warrant chiefs wasted opportunity to transform their region.....

See them

Igbo gehs in Lagos taking N 2000 to service......how market

I don't know, did any Yoruba city made the list?

Timi1990:


You need to get your fact right bro , comparing Enugu with London and Paris !! , you no even stay for local within Nigeria ? You get mind Dey mention Paris and London Nawa oooo. You should be talking about Abuja , Calabar, Kaduna , port Harcourt etc .

I am not the reason you couldn't read.

Enugu is one of the top 100 most resilient cities in the world. It made the list alongside London, Paris, Barcelona, Athens.

Kee yaself

Babalegba:
The keyword is resilient which is just the capability of a city to absorb socioeconomic shocks.Comparing Enugu to Paris is ike comparing Kanu to Che Guevara, completely silly

We didn't ask you to define resilience.

When a city is resilient, what does it show?

Please give us the statistics. What’s the monthly revenue generated in Enugu ? What’s the total number of foreign investment and investors in Enugu, what’s the infrastructure level in Enugu like ? Compare the health care system ? Compare the level of security? Compare economic & political stability . Bro you need to do your research well ; stop misleading people

SouthEastFacts:

Guess what?

Enugu made the first list. Forget about all the noise from our sophisticated brothers, Lagos City , Lagos State is crawling where Enugu is.

Again, Lagos is not even a Yoruba city. Has Yorubas been able to develop a city by themselves.

The Ibadan we left for them, why are they not able to maintain the city today. Imagine the once pride of Africa now a bundle of rotten roofs, since there are no Igbos and non-indigenes to build better houses for them.

World class city. Lol, seems enugu is developed than Birmingham because Birmingham was not listed among resilient cities. World class my ass.

SouthEastFacts:

The topic is city not state.

Enugu City is more beautiful than Lagos City. True or False

Yes, more beautiful than Birmingham that was not listed. When an igbo man does not know what resilient means.

SouthEastFacts:

When Enugu was nominated as the top 100 most resilient cities in the world, Fashola was busy pursuing tout in Obalende.

Na dirty Obalende or Marina, or narrow-roaded Onikan you wan take compare one of the most resilient cities in the world

zGuy, do you even know the meaning of resilience?

When a city is resilient, what does it show?

Example, enugu was listed so it is beautiful and developed than Dakar, Birmingham, Madrid, Monaco, Moscow, Pretoria Cardiff etc cos they were not listed. According to southeastfact

Let Northern and western Nigeria open the ports in the south and see if the population of Lagos will not reduce drastically

I am not the cause of your illiteracy.

Enugu was razed to the ground during a major war but surprisingly it recovered fully in a record time.

If what happened to Enugu had happened to Birmingham, Monaco and the rest would they have recovered fully within the time it took Enugu?

Hiroshima is still struggling to recover from the world war hangover. You don't know more than Rockfeller Foundation.

Paris was razed during the world war, London was bombed by Hitler, but they recovered.

Lagos is still struggling to manage its population crisis, Ibadan couldn't sustain its tempo as the once pride of West Africa.

This is what resilience is all about.

We rebuilt Enugu into the most serene city in Nigeria.

Ehen, thought you were claiming development na. What changes your mind?

Enugu is more resilient than Birmingham according to the Rockfeller Foundation. In fact, it is in the top 35 most resilient cities.

Enugu is a now model for global cities pursuing their own resilience and just like the other resilient cities, it has a Chief Resilience Officer.

Don't forget Enugu State is just less than 30.

What Enugu survived and recovered from, Birmingham might not be able. That is what resilience award means.

Shut up, any city raised down is capable of rebuilding. Akure was raised down during omoboriowo war, but was built back in no time. Stop glorifying your slum.

@southeastfact, please stop embarrassing yourself here. I am Igbo but what you are spewing here is most embarrassing. Please stop biko. There are things you cannot defend because defending it will mean embarrassing even the people you are defending. Leave this matter, lets focus on election results.

You mean war they fought with matchete?

Then why wasn't it nominated?
