Enugu (Igbo) vs Ibadan (Yoruba) These two don't get along. They are probably the world's most mismatched or incongruous countrymen. They have abandoned the fight for a better Nigeria for that of the greater ethnic group, and Nigeria has suffered as a result. These are the most influential ethnic groups in Nigeria, boasting the most educated, entrepreneurial, and gifted individuals. What can uni...

Uyo pass Kaduna by far. Don't talk down Uyo.
Rubbish
Owerri is far ahead.
I think that Benin city won this
Lagos was built by Yorubas. It was a major trading location even before the creation of Nigeria. 😂😂😂
Hahah no comparison here or competition ,you went to the most run down area n want to compare joburgh with rwanda, nonsense
CAMEROON IS GOVERNED BY BULUS WHO ARE THE CURSED TRIBE OF CAMEROON. I M CAMEROONIA AND EVERYONE KNOWS THIS. THIS GOVERNMENT HAS BROUGHT US 10 YEARS BACKWARD.
tu es vraiment fou pour comparer ce petit cameroon au grand Nigeria surtout une ville de Yaoundé aussi moche avec le grand Abuja
I'm an Igboman but what you did about Ibadan is good at all honesty you can tell us there's nothing good in Ibadan making it look like bad things only I don't like I am not feeling at all, I know about Enugu very well the good side and bad side so do well next time please!
I like your way of talking, I am a Nigerian and u was fair to the both countries.. yes we in Nigeria can insult our presidents if we choose to 😂
In ogun state you see many people in the communities walking around naked including their women
I choose Asaba over Jos any day. Though Jos used to be the home of entertainment in Nigeria before the year 2000. the likes of P-Square, M.I, Eedris, and many others started out in Jos before moving to Lagos state. The insecurity in Jos, mostly caused by religious intolerance, has made Jos to become a shadow of itself. I will not forget year 2002 when my Uncle lost his mansion and cars due to religious conflict between Christians and Muslims in Jos. His properties were burnt down by irate Muslim faithfuls. He had to relocate to Awka in Anambra state (his home state) to start life all over again. The memories of that unfortunate event still lingers in my head any time that Jos is made mentioned of, cos I was staying with my uncle at d time. As for Asaba, the city is relatively calm and peaceful.
Enugu city is 269km2 and Ibadan city is around 1100km2. It’s the local governments that are 3000+km2 Please, correct that!
Jos for me
22:04 You are very uninformed to compare the former capital of Northern Nigeria with significant government investment from both colonial and Nigeria federal government to Uyo which was a local govt. In former crossriver state and only became a state capital in 1987. Kaduna host the military HQtrs of Nigeria, a refinery even when it dosent produce a drop of oil. And your condescending statement about building a church instead of a school? As if the govt cant do both at the same time. The state runs thousands of primary and secondary schools in addition to several tertiary institutions including universities and polytechnic. You failed to see the hundred of mosques built in Kaduna and other Northern states with government funds,but focus on the one church that the Akwa ibom state has contributed to building, mind you govt. Only supported the. Church building, some of the funding was from the private citizens of the state. Your comparison is misguided, Uyo should be compared to cities that came to limelight around the same time not with Kaduna or cities like Kaduna that has been enjoying govt. Funding and infrastructure since colonial years But even then Uyo stands shoulders ahead of cities like Kaduna and your comparison is proof.
How can u say Enugu population is less than 1 million, where did you get that figure from? Enugu has a population of almost 5 million, if not more, only Nsukka axis has more than 1 millions people leaving there, besides Enugu population is made up of people from different States in Nigeria, especially North, middle belt, and south south and other parts of the south east. There isn't only 3 Ambulances at ESUT teaching hospital, that hospital is one of the best government owned hospital in Nigeria.
And also I’ve been to Abeokuta twice, that place is not in touch with modern edifices with old houses.
I totally agree on the bad roads and the way drivers drive like mad people but your other analysis about it being highly insecure is wrong citing soldiers, there are no soldiers in city centers stop lying, only outskirts villages. Secondly Owerri is well planned, just that Uzodinjo and Rochas government are devil’s incarnate. The roads are very bad but generally he city is well planned. There are no jobs so people resort to business but your assumption on very high poverty is very wrong. I score you 4/10. You are not a good journalist sorry.
your comments about Nigeria and Abuja is full of hate and bias, as there's no objectivity in your comparison between the two African cities. You highlighted many beautiful places and infrastructural developments in Luanda but refused to do same in abuja, instead you only focused on its' negative aspects. Let me remind you that no city in this world that is 100% perfect, including New York city and Dubai, they also have their own negative sides. However, I will like to know which part of African city you belongs to, show us how developed it is, and more about your societal lifestyle. Thank you.
while it is a nice video a lot BS have been said: like repeating colonial lines. I don't what you mean when you it was discovered by (...) does it mean no one lived there before that that period!
No, there is Congo and DR Congo, Congo-brazza is not a country name
Your channel sucks. Change the narrator. It’s off putting. U shit on Uyo too much. And I’m not from uyo.
Akwa ibom compares with Lagos. U r hyping up kaduna too much
The narrator is most definitely an IPOB agitator because his narration is tribalised tilting towards the igbo side. I expected his narration to be based purely on the economic,life,people,the sights and sounds of the two cities and not chipping in "why these 2 tribes are bent on co-existing together"
😂😂😂😂Huge cucumber show offs in Ghana, that's really unethical of them
You know why. Lol
👏👏
Piont of currection aba has population of over 2,500000 according to Google go and verify
*It's a lie when you say that Angolans have abandoned our names and culture, we are more than 30 million inhabitants, you haven't even lived with 0.005% of the Angolan population, it's a lie about having walked for hours to find money in the ATMs, in the center of Luanda you don't need to walk for hours to find money but you don't know the location of the dozens of ATMs that exist, talk about Nigeria that you know well, about Angola and LUANDA IN YOUR VIDEO IT WAS CLEAR THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT US.*
Nigeria generally does not have good or let me say impressive infrastructure, beginning from Lagos it self
Abuja is newer and cleaner, but very small compared to Yaoundé in terms of population and sqaure km`s, i wonder where you came from with those numbers
Who always give these nuisances platform to talk...Always talking down on Nigeria....😔🤦♂️
Man ,stop talking rubbish about my country and get the fuck out
Next before you post falsehood actually visit the place as most of what you're saying is false presently. Calabar is still the most beautiful city in Nigeria and this month one million tourists from all over the world for Africa Biggest Street Party the Calabar Carnival. Calabar is also more industrialized as city than most states including Akwa ibom state and all of Igboland. False video.
Too underrated
Maiduguri cannot share borders with Adamawa, perhaps you meant Borno State!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
Maiduguri wasn’t established by the British rather they chose the town as their military outpost, the kanuri people boost of ancient empire known as kanem bornu empire. Just like the British chose Lagos as capital they did not create it because it was already a commercial city.
Oga maiduguri isn't established by any studip British empire una need to go decolonise and re educate una self b4 putting information online
how about correcting him and in the process, educating the people who read your comment rather than just being condescending?
Nigerian cities need to do better. Calabar is no longer what it was in the days of Duke. I wonder if Nigerian leaders go overseas and turn a blind eye on the urban development they see there. East Africa, North Africa, and Southern Africa puts Nigerian cities to shame. Nigeria needs to do better.
It can start fr u we all own the country
Calabar all the way
I avoid talking about Maiduguri; the city has suffered unimaginable hardships. Calabar is a shadow of the city it was under Donald Duke. The filth, neglect, and gross mismanagement are absolutely disgraceful. They’ve even let the stunning Obudu Cattle Ranch fall into ruin-a heartbreaking symbol of Nigeria’s relentless decay. Well done BantuPage!
Abuja is not the third largest city but 6th Most thing in this your video is false
It is absurd to compare what happens to Aba to that of Gaza, what a narrative? Whatever that happened in Gaza are the caused by the rulers in Gaza. Are you saying Hamas who ruled Gaza do not know that if they carry out such terror attacks on Israel that Israel will respond with force? Aba was a victim of civil war, while majority's of Gazans supposed October 7 terror attacks in Israel.
This guy who made this is just a lier, what technology is in Benin compared to Aba, Benin did not even have a good raod this guy stop deciving people, Benin did not one flayerover and you are comparing it with Aba you must be joking,for housing Aba is far far better than Benin,for opportunity Aba have business opportunities more than Benin,you talked about education guy make use fo your Google if you can't make proper research,guy this your video is completely lie is not educative at all because i leaved in the two cities and i am a living testimony,it will take Benin city another 49 years before they can develop like Aba ,
