Austria


Germany is landlocked and the only access Germany have to sea is via Rhine and Baltic .. Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland are also landlocked and they are the best performing economies in Europe
Germany is not landlocked, check out the northern fringes of that country and you'll see.It has access to both the Baltic and North Sea in the north and both seas touching Germany.

Good for Lagos, Onitsha,Ibadan and the rest in the list but Ibadan is more developed than all South East joined together. What will you do about that grin
Government revenue plus the effort of Ndigbo put together, make Ibadan what it is today.
The igbos are pure entrepreneurs, with maybe 10% civil or public servants..
You could imagine the geometrical increase of the SE economic growth and development after the civil war..
The so called Lagos are dominated by Ndigbo and 80% revenue generated by lagos state is as a result of the LIGHT of the SE. Sentiment apart.
Ndigbo are different from any other ethnic groups in Nigeria, sentiment apart.

No airport
No functional river port
No federal government facility
No other tribes facilities
94% Igbo economy and run by Igbo
Was bombarded 50 years ago

Now tell me why Igbo don't have that bragging right again ?[/quote

No other tribe or section of this country has their own version of Onitsha, Aba and now Nnewi. Three great commercial, industrial cities entirely built up by the indigenous people and never having being a state or regional or national capital at any period since their founding. Awesome.

Germany has a coast on the Baltic Sea... as well as on the North Sea. It is not landlocked... are we talking about a different country? Please zoom out on your map (I've included a snapshot from Google Maps).

From Wikipedia (for your convenience): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany#Geography
... " Germany is also bordered by the North Sea and, at the north-northeast, by the Baltic Sea. "

I'm really confused why anyone would look at the map, read about German coastal cities, see the description, and still call it landlocked...

This is a fact that has been hidden for so many years by the racist British people and their minions. For sure they would like it to stay hidden if it's up to them. The northern part of Nigeria is nothing but uninhabitable arid land but they would like you to believe that they have the greatest population. Having land mass NEVER translates to population!

Ibadan even lagos wey oyibo pple wey colonise us first start to develop for more than 100 years now.
Southeast development is not even up to 40 yrs with the government neglects.
Just give southeast more 10 years, then you will know igbos are truly extraordinary people.

I do not think being almost fully built up is a great thing in today's world. It means less room for future, expansion, more pollution, less green space, little or no nature reserve, more likelihood of slums, transportation challenges, flooding after rains,etc.

Only in Africa we misconstrue concrete, traffic horror ad large populations in small spaces as evidence of being top dog. Developed nations are seeking how to de-congest and create "green lungs" within cities, like Fashola tried a bit with some small green parks in Lagos.

intimidated by who? God forbid. In as much as I don't like talking down on any tribe but I must tell u that the ibos if not for Anambra people are very nice people I have lots of ibo friends; rather than say intimidated I would rather say I look down on the average Anambra person(though it is not in my character to speak in this manner). Note that I do not dislike people from Anambra but among the ibos I prefer the ibos of Enugu and Imo because of their liberal nature. My reason of calling the op an Anambrarian is this 'built up urban' does not mean developed it only means u used up available spaces(as the name suggests) but the op thought it meant developed; if it were to mean developed, how on earth do u think Anambra would rank above Abuja and ph?

A lot of people know little about world geography.

Germany that has seaports and coastal areas and islands. How can it be landlocked?

From Bremerhaven to Hamburg. Islands like Ruegen/Rugia and Stralsund in Pomerania.

Built up Area is the carpet area plus the thickness of outer walls and the balcony. Super Built Up Area is thebuilt up area plus proportionate areaof common areas such as the lobby, lifts shaft, stairs, etc.

A built-up area is an area such as a town or city which has a lot of buildings in it

Built-Up Area or Plinth Area - Total covered area of the apartment or commercial property unit. It can be calculated by adding areas of utility ducts within property unit, internal and external walls to the carpet are. As a rule of thumb, built up area can be calculated by adding 10% loading factor on carpet area.

BUILT-UP AREA / PLINTH AREA:

The total building area in plot area is referred as Built up area. In simple, Area excluding empty space around the building is called Built up area or Plinth area.

Built up Area = Carpet area+ Thickness of All walls + balcon

So I think you are the illiterate...the term is even self explanatory...areas that has high rise or multi storey building...do you have a challenge with comprehension?

Just see you trying to kill yourself over nothing, when we say people like you should travel and see, you'll be saying we are trying to insult.
Compare the "so called" largest city in Africa, Ibadan you've always boasted about, you can see how it compares with "tiny" Onitsha, you should be ashamed that a city reduced to rubbles just some decades ago has trounced all cities in the SW except your Lagos you love to boast of too.

Trounced? According to a blogger. Obviously you are a trader .
and cannot read and analyse stuff for you.





You are one of those who lets other peole think for you

Someone comes here with some spurious statistic and gave a source. Have you looked it up

What exactly does any of this mean

Does it have any more meaning than a website coming up to claim Enugu men have the longest joysticks in the world?

I have been to Onitsha many times and I know i is a shit hole and along wiith Aba the two dirtiest places on earth..


Suddenly Onitsha is more "builtup" than Abuja and Kano and you are happy?

You are pathetic
