Gotze1:If you like pull images from Osogbo. It won't change the fact that Enugu is more resilient. If you are pained, go beat Rockfeller Foundation. |

kayfra: There's nothing really architectural about those buildings, neither will they have any worth in terms of tourism in the future. If Ibadan were to be the South East, most of those buildings would have been pulled down with modern buildings replacing them. I remember the Anglican and Catholic churches we met when we were kids. They weren't really bad, as a matter of fact, some of them had a little bit of European church architecture. They've all been demolished today and replaced with bigger and modern church auditoriums. A few of the buildings in Ibadan could have been left behind anyway to serve as memorials, but not having a large expanse of land crowded with such buildings, with people still living in them. They are simply not worthy of human habitation in the 21st century. Fact! 1 Like |

oshdam2015:my dear don't even go there because an igbo man cannot pack all the money for himself while his relations are poor just like dangote and other rich yorubas do but rather an igbo man will distribut his wealth among his relations.an igbo will rather teach you how to fish than to continue giving you fish |

Which enugu? I was born and grow up in enugu? Which part of enugu are you talking about that is world standard? Ogui road? Upper chime? Presidential? Travel to singapore and see cities in singapore. Travel to china and see cities there. We can build a world class business and luxury city like dubai. The vastness doesn't matter. It can be as small as festac town. 1 Like |

Emmalog: teach me how to fish,when their are no fish to fish no more.... am sorry to say,you igbos think completly different than the rest of nigeria.... this matter is not even tribal no more.... its the way of thinkin is our problem.... |

desmond2pk:I don't think southeastfacts shares your view and one can say this is predominant amongst some Igbo youths and these will definitely not support your idea of investing billions of dollars in a project that will be met with a issue or another. so let us say will build a mini Dubai in sango ota,warrior or uyo |

justtoodark: I don't think what I wrote is very difficult to understand. Many of the old houses I met in my village while growing up (most of which were built by my grandfather and his contemporaries) aren't there anymore. They have been demolished and replaced with newer buildings. That's what I meant by the term "pull down". |

Re: A Call For Ibos To Build World Class City by kayfra: 11:58am On Mar 10, 2019 |
Kennydoc: We have a history to preserve. You don't We'll keep our ancient city-state structure with the relics and we'll keep building new buildings surrounding our ancient towns. The colonialists met us living in huge cities and they were dumbfounded, it's no accident that Yoruba is one of the most studied cultures worldwide and also the center of focus for every African studies Department in universities across the globe. It's also no accident that it survived slavery and it's indigenous religions are also in ascendance across the globe as i type this. Thanks but no Thanks. We'll keep our historic buildings intact. There's enough land to build new ones and we are building new ones while maintaining our ancient inner cities. 1 Like |

Kennydoc: With a landmass about the size of Oyo State the south east is very small hence you have to demolish your old buildings to pave way for new ones. It is as simple as that |

Surely this can be done...Igbos could emulate Hong Kong. Even while within China they are able to build their cities...Hong Kong has a population of below 8 million. Enugu could be the city with fast rail lines connecting the industrial towns like Aba, Onitsha, Nnewi and other influential towns...First pic is Hong Kong the others are Enugu...

Frenchkiss564: You're right. That's a real fact! If South East becomes a country tomorrow, it will have one of the highest population densities in Africa. There isn't much land to waste in most towns and villages. 1 Like |

Emmalog:lol. Why deceiving urself. The last time I checked, Ajegunle, Orile and some other poverty saturated arenas are dominated by Igbos with rich relatives. They will even confess that their unclean source of wealth make it impossible for their rich relatives to help them. Bro, just forget about trying to make urself look important and make urself important in real sense. It’s either they are importing substandard products, go into drugs or blood money. What kinda success is that? |

Kennydoc: If Lagos can accommodate as many Nigerians, the land mass of SE won't be much of an issue...With high rise buildings like the pic of Hong Kong attached, spaces will be saved for other purposes... More of Enugu...these sprawling estates could be used for high rises...and save land...but constant power is needed tp move people up the flats. A small coal-powered plant could be built there in Enugu for power supply...

Kennydoc:and there we have it.the reason no one will put his money on any dev project in the south east simply put put your dev at your own risk. Lagos will always be a destination |
Re: A Call For Ibos To Build World Class City by Kennydoc(m): 12:54pm On Mar 10, 2019 |
Stingman: Yeah, but I was only trying to agree with him as to why we demolish old houses in the South East to build new ones, while they retain their old, 'brown-roofed' houses. They have a lot of land to spare, we don't have enough. |
Re: A Call For Ibos To Build World Class City by Kennydoc(m): 1:03pm On Mar 10, 2019 |
baralatie: It doesn't mean anything. Igbos still build houses in Lagos and Abuja despite knowing that Nigeria may still break up in the near future. Who says a man from Oduduwa Republic can't own properties in the Republic of Biafra? Are you aware that Indians, Pakistanis and Arabs are among the biggest landlords in the UK? They own houses and rent them out to British folks as well as other people from ethnic minorities. |
