Well said my Bro. The only dissagreement I can see here is Ibadan, she should be replace with Kano or Uyo city.
Ibadan is far more developed that Uyo. Uyo is just coming up.

1. Lokoja (this one na dead place)
2. Lafia (na only two dualized road dey for here)
3. Ado Ekiti (mtcheew)
4 Umuahia (the government here is sleeping)
5. Yenegoa (this place na total disgrace).
6. Awka ( it's an expressway capital with 3 flyovers and 2 dualized roads)


The best I have visited by Nigerian standard are:
1. Port harcourt
2. Enugu
3. Ibadan
4. Owerri
5. Ilorin
6. Ikeja

North Central.
Lafia is terrible for a capital city.
Minna is not that good too.
Forget lokoja the aura and atmosphere alone oozes of nonsense.

North west
Gusau the name suggest its gutter.
Sokoto that one is just there.

North East
Except for maiduguri and gombe the rest are rubbish.

South South
Yenagoa is over rated.
Benin too many old buildings.

South East.
Umuahia is rubbish.
Abakaliki is picking up compared to the last time I was there.
Awka could still do better.
Owerri is not that bad.

I have been to all the states in Nigeria so I am talking from experience.
Yes, South West is Heaven on earth

Forgot to add South West. It was an oversight maybe because most of the so called capitals there have nothing to write about apart from ikeja.

One thing people should know is that there is a difference between Developed and Beautiful

A place can be beautiful but can't classify as developed because it lacked the basic things that can make it to be classified as Developed.

There is no developed city in Nigeria. Development is not by how many buildings you have.
Do you have good accesible road network? Properly equipped hospitals? Access to water and electricity? Etc. It's 2023 and there are pit toilets everywhere in Nigeria. The country itself is not developed. Period.

I have been reasoning, having traveled to most state capitals in Nigeria and seening how underdevelop most capital cities are, it is pertinent to state the list of the most underveloped capital cities in Nigeria by geo-political zone: (1) south east - Umuahia (Abia state). (2) South south - Yenogoa (Bayelsa state). (3) South west - Ado ekiti (Ekiti state). (4) North central - Lokoja (Kogi state). (5) North east - Damaturu (Yobe state). (6) North west - Gusau (Zamfara state). What is your opinion on this rating? Please no insult guys.

Bhuhahahahaha! Owerri more developed than Ikeja, Port Harcourt etc. What a joke.

How many five star hotels, restaurants, secondary schools exit in Owerri?

How many Industries, factories, multinationals etc are in Owerri?

How many world class health care centers, hospitals etc are in Owerri?

How many highbrow areas, estates etc are in Owerri? grin

How many malls, supermarkets, grocery stores etc are in Owerri?

How many recreational centers, stadiums, golf courses, polo clubs, cinemas etc are in Owerri? grin

Ikeja comprises of Allen, Opebi, Omole, Ojodu, Maryland, GRA, Anthony, Onigbongbo, Alausa, Magodo, Ogba, Agidingbi, Oregun etc.

What about Owerri? grin

The most developed state capital in terms of infrastructures are listed in this order.

1. Ikeja
2. Port Harcourt
3. Ibadan

Question is which capital city will you get the most quality life with enough money. Owerri beats the rest. It is relatively calm, well planned, neat and green, good and modern residential apartments, fairy good road and transportation ease. It also has a functional and fairly busy airport, hotels and other recreational facilities. Enugu is also good but appear dirty nowadays.

Port Harcourt has even more facilities than Owerri but has worse environment, worse traffic and a problem of petty cult clash. Reason many port Harcourt residents go to Owerri on weekends for relaxation.

Ikeja is good but traffic and noise are a major turn off.

I wouldn't argue about Ibadan. A large unplanned settlement with mostly dilapidated houses and with almost a non functional airport is what you want to argue about?

Answer the questions presented to you. Remember, this is about the most developed state capitals in Nigeria, not most quiet and beautiful.

Ikeja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna etc are more developed than Owerri. Fact.
