afroniger: Did you say Nigerian Census? LOLLLLzzz............ Even the mentally insane know Nigerian census is the MOST FRAUDULENT allocation of numbers to deserts just to steal oil money because of Nigeria's method of sharing revenue from other people's territory. The true population is there for anyone to see. Even satellite imagery of the so called big cities in Nigeria reveals the huge SCAM called Nigerian census. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Demographia.com sometime ago released its report on the largest cities in the world by urban built-up area and population and the result isn't different from this. For landmass, Onitsha is the largest in Nigeria and second largest in population after Lagos. Anybody who had moved around Nigeria should know this.

Quite true and factual. I'm always amazed at the urban sprawl that spreads out whenever I'm coming back to the East from Asaba. Endless spread of high-rise buildings as far as the eyes can see yet the stvpid country called Nigeria that always has a way of showing its madness would rate Onitsha below several shanty towns. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

[quote author=asuustrike1 post=73448428][/quote] He is correct. Onitsha has fused with Asaba and the surrounding areas, what separates the two former distinct towns is just the Niger bridge and already many people now live in Asaba but work in Onitsha. 6 Likes |

Trash. Igbo's always look for what will make them feel important in Nigeria. How did Onitsha suddenly becomes more porpulated than Kano, Ibadan, Abuja, Kaduna, PH e.t.c Lie, lie people. Below is a screenshot of the largest cities in Nigeria, based on porpulation. 1 Like

IamAtikulate: Someone has shown data on this forum before that gives an idea of population spread per state, one that is more plausible and credible, and it clearly shows that the entire population of Anambra is somewhere around 5 to 6-million or thereabouts. Even if you decide to claim all of Anambra state as part of Onitsha city, it still won't make it the third largest. You people should stop deceiving yourselves. 4 Likes

afroniger:They said city and you are bringing states. What I know is that Onitsha is larger than what your country can possibly estimate. Lagos is larger than Kano 2X, but officially, Kano is Larger than Lagos 1.5X, but look at the energy you are expending here just because it is Igbo. Save that energy for Lagos. We don't even need that much population. We already have 45-50 million Igbo nation to care for. You can equally put defence against that, we don't care. Based on the energy you are pursuing this with, you must be a Yoruba moslem. 7 Likes |

IamAtikulate: Mr. Atikulator, use your brain for once. Your brethren presented a quack report without any sound basis postulating that Onitsha is the '3rd largest city in Africa' based on 'estimating'. In terms of size, Anambra has the 2nd smallest land mass, after Lagos. And as far as population is concerned, there hasn't been a credible census in this country in a a very long time. But I have showed you a data of active phone lines (from telecoms companies that at least shows the number of Anambra people that keep their phones active within the period of 4-months. Of course the data can't represent the entire population of the state but at least it tells us the number of adults or teens who have kept their phones active within a 4-months period. Now, are you telling me that the the state hosting the so-called 3rd largest city in Africa, with an active population and considerable commercial concentration, can only muster 4-million active phone lines within 4-months?? Where is the rest of the population of the state? Or is it that they refuse to use telephones in 4 straight months, maybe because they are too broke to load/recharge them? If Onitsha were as large as being claimed, it would certainly reflect in the sheer number of phone lines of the entire state, moreso considering that it is a commercial city. So I ask you, why didn't that data capture such a huge population if truly it exists? Look at other states that host large cities such as Kano, Oyo, Rivers,Kaduna, and the city state Abuja, and then try and explain why those cities record far higher active phone lines within a 4-month period than Anambra that is supposed to be hosting the 3rd largest city in Africa. Be sincere with yourself bro and keep your ego out of it. 6 Likes |

vanbonattel: Trash again. Stop associating Onitsha with other towns and cities around it. All those cities/Towns you mentioned are independent. It's like annexing Lagos with Ogun or Lagos with Cotonou, just because both Cities share the same boundaries.
