Stop and use your head

What is this concept of most "Built up" town or city . What does it mean? How is it measured

Is there really such a thing?


Can you expalin that in less than 30 words
Lazy Nigerian yoot as usual, OP gave you a link and everything was explicitly explained and how the results were scientifically obtained, yet you want me to explain to you again.
I know you suddenly developed amnesia because Onitsha had trounced your over hyped Ibadan and almost on the same level with your over over and over hyped Lagos.

Kasy08133625633:
Onitsha is now more or less a mega city. The city has grown beyond the original Onitsha North & South. Today, Onitsha metropolis includes: Ogbaru, Ogidi, Idemmili, Ogbunike, Nsugbe, Obosi, Oba, Nkwelle etc. The city has kept expanding and expanding because it represents to the SE what Lagos and PH represents to the SW and SS respectively.




Bros, onitsha does not in anyway stand as a mega city as lagos stands to sw, truth is, the five states of the SE can be categorised independently based on their different features, for instance, for peace and serene environment, enugu stands as no.1, for mega business environment and dirtyness, Aba is no.1 for for luxury and tourism, imo takes that, i don't even know where to grade onitsha in all of this.

Go through the link the OP provided and stop feeling pained, anyone who knows Onitsha well will definitely tell you it has been a mega city even before now.
Travel and see and stop thinking everything about Nigeria starts and ends in Lagos

Onitsha host more high-rises than any city in Nigeria, having two skyscraper in middle of slums don't really make sense to me, last I visited Ibadan more than 85% of Coco house apartments are empty no tenants, especially last floor to fourth floor, same with Marina and most areas in Lagos, outside banks headquarters, majority of the skyscrapers are empty

Building skyscraper in the east is not problem, major issue fully utilization.

Onitsha below


High-rise is a building of 12 stories and above. So you might want to check your stats again

Ok but Onitsha remains the most vertical city in Nigeria, if not in Africa.
Most residential building are within the 4-6 storey category, no other town or city in Nigeria can boast of that, not even Lagos, Abuja or PH.

You are ignorant boy, you are from Edo state
Anambra State remains a key hub with the largest commercial market in West Africa showing a significant export investment opportunity, Trade, Services and Industrialisation “Anambra State is a very viable state and is business oriented. It actually plays the part of Lagos for the South-South and South-East and is a good business anchor for the whole of the country linking the North to the South.
Anambra State is widely known for the large trade and commercial in two of its major cities; Onitsha and Nnewi,These cities provide the link for trade and distribution of goods between Northern and Southern Nigeria, and into West Africa. The state is home to many indigenous conglomerates

So a state like this can only be compared to Lagos in Nigeria, others should kip kwayet.

Why won't Onitsha, its key city rival Lagos with all these figures and stats or maybe you guys felt we all migrated into Onitsha to just catch a glimpse of the River Niger.

those of your celebrating this news are just very ignorant.

most built up means the cities with least available undeveloped landmass. Onitsha and Lagos are small hence they are on top of the list.

it's easier to build up Lagos and Onitsha but it's not easy to build up Ibadan that is twice the size of entire Anambra state!!!

What is the meaning of

"BUILT UP"


What is the definition of that??

I wonder why so much masturbation on this thread.
Built up simply means there is no land in the city which is either due to small size of the city or large population, all south eastern cities are in the list because of the above.
UK has more built up cities dan US because of the above so it is no biggie
All the Nigerian slums abi na city listed above built up with no infrastructure inside cannot match Bloemfontein, FS South Africa in anything but population

You didnt really have to use that word at the bolded.
Btw, i'm not from Edo state, i am your brother if you accept.

All what you listed up there i don't refute but saying it serves as the lagos of south east or/ south south is pure exaggeration.

Some part of lagos has got a serene/peaceful environment, some part business area, some part home for hospitality but you can't say such for anambra, you cant name an area in anambra that is good for hospitality better than enugu, you cant also name an area more commercial than Aba, you can't also name an area more industrialised like portharcourt, anambra just has all of the afore mentioned in little quantites so can't serve as the lagos of south east/ south south cause lagos has it all and can't be compared in all of the above to any south western state.

TROUNCED

I asked from the get go why this built up thing is a good thing nstead the usual insults were thrown.


Most built up simply means most crowded with buildings which is not a good thing but a sign of building overcrowding.

So Mushin and Orile are more built up than Ikoyi and Ikeja GRA simples

You saw two lists of cities depicting population and landmass respectively so what is your problem, is it because Onitsha ranks higher in population and landmass over your Ibadan?

Lasgidi should have been a more beautiful mega city by now going by the IGR but the corruption of the APC government will not let it be.
Onitsha is the Lagos analogue of the Eastern region.

my thoughts are these , if Onitsha is 99% powered by purely private effort of igbos and 0.2% powered by federal government effort and if Lagos is 99% powered by both Federal Government Effort and the effort of other tribes like igbos and 0.2 % powered by yoruba private effort , then it is just a matter of Time , more mobilisation of private efforts before Onitsha will over take Lagos

Largely filled with slums, that's a town I know very well, I did my NYSC in Oyo state, Onitsha metro doesn't end in Onitsha north and south, Onitsha has expanded to four more LGs, Onitsha is smallest among the five LGs that make-up Onitsha metro. Go to the table of the demogaphia and check out areas that was built up by descent buildings and checkout Ibadan that have descent buildings not slums.
