I will say Amen make your prayers happen, because Igbos can easily multiply that amount to more than $1 trillion within 5 years and the multiplier effect will catapult Nigerian economy per capita GDP to one of the biggest in the whole world

The only reason this is possible is because the whole of SE, available to about 40million ndigbos, is about the size of Oyo state.
Imagine if the whole of Yoruba is confined in Oyo state. All the people, infrastructure, industrial and residential estates in the SW concentrated in Oyo state. Imagine all the old wealth (Da Rocha, Odutolas, Fajemirokuns, Okunowos, Kukus, MKO, Adebisis etc) and current wealth (Adenugas, Alakijas, Tinubus, Kensingtons, Okoyas, Adelekes, Otedolas etc) with all the religious and educational institutions etc are all in Oyo state. SW would have turned to one mega city, and probably the biggest in the world.
You will just discover that your living room is in Lagos State while your bedroom falls within Ogun state. Or you and your girlfriend strolling down the street and you just discover that while you're walking on the Osun state side of the road, your girlfriend is on Ekiti state side.

Tell that to people who have never been to oyo state. From Iseyin to Ibadan is 2 hours ( wetin still remain for oyo again?) while from nsukka to Enugu town is 2 hours if not more that’s Enugu state alone, even at that Igbos doesn’t boast about empty size but capacity and capability. Go to Middle East and see how Isreal the size of Enugu state put the entire Middle East in fear , with exception of America and China most of the countries world powers today are not big in size

ShoeMarket:





There is no truth in your soul. It's too bad.

he told you the truth, is scattering houses everywhere development, you are creating a very big problem in the future, most of the mushroom houses will be demolished for proper urban planning and agriculture.

a big liar

ask parent the igbo got billion of dollar over civil war

abumeze2010:
Even the places that are developed in the other regions are the hand-work of IGBOS

chest beating

You have not been on the road from ibadan to ogbomosho

But to stay there dey hard them.
All of them are crying on Facebook and that landlords deny them houses in Lagos and abuja

The size of all those major cities added together may be like tge size of urban Ibadan or may be just a little more and still below the metropoltam Lagos. I don't think having all the land for real estate is the best and won't encourage that for the Southwest except for two to three cities that may be necessary to relieve Lagos state.

More importantly for cities are their economic structure and sustainability. Having real estates without economic values does not amount to actual developments required of a growing economy.

I think Southeast should watch that type of cornubation that will reserve few places for agriculture and other activities.

However the Igbo has benefitted from Nigeria more, access to huge market, sales approach that rakes in millions with little taxes due to structure system of running largely informal outlets, allocations from federal government which finance infrastructures, contractors, big men access to contracts and investments outside of Southeast( oil and gas, constructions etc) saying all development are private is a joke and flat lie from hell. I think post war reconstructions and federal money play huge roles as part of such developments. Believe you me, other places in Nigeria are also developed; kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Jos etc are developed by Nigerian standard. Stop thinking you are the king of the jungle if you haven't hunted an antelope, be humble.

Let's just assume that the South East is about the size of Oyo State. What they are doing in that South East speaks for its self. Outside Lagos, no other city has the highest number of story buildings than Onitsha

The question South Westerners should ask themselves is why is it that beyond Lagos that was capital of Nigeria for 80 years, and Ibadan that was capital of the old Western Region and now capital of Oyo, they have no cities worthy of note?

Aba, Nnewi and Onitsha are cities, they have never been capital of anywhere. The fact that the South West has so much land should have been a golden opportunity to show their development power. Yet if they are asked were they made a noteworthy place that was never capital, they will tell you Sango-otta

List of cities in SW
1. Lagos.
2. Ikeja
3. Lekki
4. Ibadan
5. Abeokuta
6. Osogbo
7. Akure
8. Ado Ekiti
9. Sango Ota
10. Sagamu
11. Mowe/Ibafo
12. Ondo
13. Arepo
14. Ilesa
15. Ijebu Ode
16. Ogbomosho
17. Ife
18. Badagry
19. Epe
20. Owo
21. Oyo
22. Ikorodu

These cities are booming with real estate activities.

If you think SW has only Lagos and Ibadan, you are an ignoramus or being deluded.

Apart from Enugu, Owerri, Onitsha, Aba and Abakaliki, what else?

The false insinuation that conurbation is only going on in SE is false.

From Arepo - Magnoro - Mowe - Ibafo - Sagamu are now connected.

Ibadan is already connecting to towns in Ogun state.

From Sagamu-Iperu - Ode - Ilisan - Isara - Ijebu Ode are almost connected.

Perhaps, you must be an ignoramus.

The guy biggest lie is claiming Aba is developing towards Umuahia. Shuuuuu!!! You can lie.

Sagamu, Sango Ota, Lekki, Mowe/Ibafo, Arepo, Ondo town, Ikorodu, Badagry, Ilesa, Ife, Owo, Ijebu Ode, etc. were former capitals, right?

Lekki is more developed than Onitsha
Sango Ota alone is more developed Nnewi
Mowe/Ibafo is more developed than Aba

Does this explain the decaying cities around you? Anambra's population is equal to Ogun population yet you can't compare the 2 in civil development of their cities. Same applies to others states.

It has little to do with landmass, otherwise we can also argue that Lagos is developed because it has the 2nd smallest landmass in Nigeria

Which post war reconstruction with federal money please state them

Whatever the Igbo achieved today is by their hardworking self! Why do you think Igbo go home every Xmas?

Why do you think Igbo say AKU RUO UNO !


Real estate has economic benefits , people would build it and get paid, suppliers will supply materials and get paid, people would sell food to workers and get paid, interior decorators will be paid, security men will be paid and the house will be built and tenants would move in ...they pay , when group of houses stay in a place, then you see schools, shops, businesses springing first around the newly developed area

There are tons of economic gains in real estate it is called multiplier effects

Lagos has the smallest landmass...it's not about lands it's about capacity

Why can't Oyo, Ogun 😛,Ekiti build new cities like the way Igbo cities are coming up and cornubating

What is Owo, is that a city? Or ife...show us modern city in Yoruba land apart from Lagos that wasn't even built by yours but by whole Nigeria with oil money

Everyone LEKKI...etc leave Lagos and go develop other Yoruba and mind you Sagamu and ithese Yoruba

tonychristopher:

Na your fa clear bush in Lekki and built the roads, drainage system, Lekki phase 1, Jakande, street light, estates, etc there, abi?

Na ya fa develop Epe, Badagry and Ikorodu?

Na ya fa get Lagos?

Don't deceive yourself. I have lived in the East for almost a decade. Apart from Enugu, Owerri and Abakaliki (because of Umahi), the rest na glorified towns with dilapidated infrastructures.

Aba which is one of the most planned city still lack social life and basic infrastructure.

Sagamu is far developed than Nnewi. Confirm.
