200 000 shops
Do you people even think before you lie ?
What is the area of one shop
Let us assume It is the size of a 20 foot container
That is 32.6 square metres X200000
=6.52 square kilometres =3 X 2.17 kilometre s

Make In a be calming down
Even if a shop is half of one container
200000 shops? Haba! We have been to this Ariaria N.a.
What kind of digital lie is this?

The market proper has 37,000 selling stores and over 35,000 warehouses making 72,000 but there are markets forming part of it like the shoe clusters and co that swelled the shops lying outside to nearly 200,000. The landmass is 3.2 square miles. The UN , Worldbank and a lot of organizations have been there and have verified statistics. The market union has organized system with registered members so it is not a guess work.

An idiot wakes up in his dirty room and begins to ask how big is onitsha main market.
Its no news that Onitsha main market is the biggest market in West Africa as regards the amount of goods and humans beings transacting business there on a daily basis. It is a known fact from years back. Onitsha main Market is the cradle of organized markets in Nigeria.

You can go 🚶‍♂️ do you physical research there,we know you guys don't travel out because you fear what you do to other in your region may befall you but it is not so.

In excess of $3 billion. Are you not funny

And the whole state budget is less than
$1billion

If we ask for a source you will bring a blog that quoted another blog

Wetin concern a state budget with transactions that go on in the market?

Nigeria GDP is around $450 billion (over N 300 trillion). And the budget is N27 trillion naira.

Every where in the world tax efficiency is measured as a fraction of GDP

Hence the term Tax/GDP ratio

I've been to the market.

The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) has disclosed that out of the 37,000 shops located within the busy Ariaria International Market in Aba, Abia State, 4,000 have been connected to clean, affordable and stable electricity generated from a 9.5 megawatts (MW) gas-based power plant built under its Energising Economies Initiative (EEI) by a private investor.

Palpable tension has enveloped Abia State largest market, the Ariaria International Market Aba, with traders at the over 150,000 number shops market poised for a showdown with the government appointed market officials over imposition of a last-minute levy.
