Can you prove this…

Apart from the flour mills, BAT and the chicken hatcheries and other related companies. I really cannot think of many industries to quality Ibadan as industrialized!
Procter and Gamble,
Nigerian breweries.
Nigerian bottling company, Asejire, few kilometers from Ibadan.
7up bottling company Oluyole.

Emzor pharmaceutical, Jericho Ibadan.
Neimeth pharmaceutical Ibadan.






These are basically the major industries in Nigeria. Ibadan also has many local industries, more than Enugu.

Port harcourt is the most developed state capital in Nigeria that I know.
There's nothing much in onigbongbo than mobolaji Anthony, omole is just an estate in agidibgbi, Anthony is not part of Ikeja, Anthony is in Kosofe LGA, Magodo is in Kosofe LGA on the other side of Lagos Ibadan expressway way, there's nothing in oregun than kudirat Abiola way and mobolaji johnson. Allen is just alen Avenue.

Port Harbour is way bigger with better infrastructure than Ikeja. Enugu and Owerri are way bigger and has better infrastructure than Ikeja.
A good part of ibadan even have better infrastructure than Ikeja.

If I should rank in other:

1. Port harcourt
2. Kano (based on what People say)
3. Kaduna (based on what people say)
4. Enugu
5. Ibadan
6. Owerri
7. Ikeja
8. Uyo
9. Calabar
10. Ilorin (I have been here and this city is nice and organize). I have been to Akure, Osogbo and Abeokuta, Ilorin is way better than those places.
in the sixties and seventies it was ok and well planned but now it is a jungle.

This is quite fair…


But in my opinion these companies you listed are major companies in Nigeria. With branches/ presence all over cities in Nigeria.

To me an industrialized city is one with many small and medium scale industries not just one or two major production companies.

I will rate Agbara in Ogun state more industrialized than Ibadan.

And yes… I mentioned Enugu is not industrialized. Only known for its serenity and better urban planning. It’s more of a city to relax.

Just same like Jos!

One thing I have sha learnt is that Lokoja is the most under developed state capital in Nigeria because that is one thing everyone here seems to agree on. Out of all the states I have been to I think ekiti should be the most under developed. Note I have been to all the south western state, Benin and Asaba.

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.
Useless gay, must you start with the southeast? Why not start with your dilapidated village in osogbo.
You can't compare any state in the Southeast with any of those nonsense in the south-waste, except for lag, which is only for the seaport, else it's a dirty stinking slum too.

Niger is the worst Northern state that i have visited. No single road network. My journey from minna to katagora was horrible.

I don't like lagos is too dirty and noisy

Abuja is the best for me

Kano is good but without hausa you'll get lost

I can't live in awka anymore. It's just a developing village

Enugu, the incoming government have a lot of work to do because the present governor performed poorly in infrastructure
I concord.

You are on point with your list…

Yenagoa (Bayelsa generally) is a disgrace. Especially considering the money she has as compared to her population. And few L.G.A.

Lokoja is an eyesore.

Some state governments are really shameless!
Infact, some of these state governors have to be setence to life imprisonment for non performance in office.

I can't say much for the worst among them.

As for me, Nnewi remains the most industrialized city in the Southeast, most of the industries in the Southeast are located there, trust me, many of them.
Keep this to yourself, it's a secret and that's why the city is not that congested grin maybe it's because of the city plan too.
This city doesn't joke with electricity, minimum of 19hrs daily, except for times issue arises and it doesn't exceed 2 or 3days to get fixed, before industries will start losing money, and that's problem for the electricity officials.

I so enjoyed that city before I moved back to Enugu, strictly on transfer, if not, I don't even feel like leaving again.
Duty always call sha.. sad

Armaggedon:

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?

PH people relax in Owerri over the weekend with UGM and ESN on rampage? Tell me something else please. Owerri is not in same class as PH as far Nigeria is concerned. Shoe get size abeg.

Do not allow tribalism overwhelm your sense of reasoning. What I did is to compile the list of state with the worst capital in each geopolitical zone.
