The issue is not whether Onitsha is $3 billion of $30 billion Even though that is a ridiculous claim in a state whose budget is less than $ 400 million but that it is.the biggest market

You cannot make such a claim without data from other markets
You cannot go to Onitsha, Osogbo, Akure, Abeokuta or Ado Ekiti and not immediately conclude that there's more monetary flow in onitsha than probably Akure, Ado Ekiti and osogbo combined.

You will have a perception of the volume of commerce immediately with the busy nature of the city, heavy duty lorries bring in goods in containers and the traffic of goods that are leaving the city. Onitsha is a key commercial hub for almost every part of Nigeria. People who live as far as Borno come to onitsha to find scarce products.

But you are a typical Yoruba, you don't travel. You sit in your rented apartment in modakeke and make conclusions

And what is your own proof that it is not?

There are proofs scattered all over the internet, it's you that is suffering from severe invisible ignorance syndrome.

The invincible ignorance fallacy, also known as argument by pigheadedness, is a deductive fallacy of circularity where the person in question simply refuses to believe the argument, ignoring any evidence given.

Olodo. Yorubas education is a waste. State budget is not a measure of business activities but GDP. Give us latest GDP figures. Anambra is beating Ogun and Oyo

I don't care about the story, all I know is that OUK was filthy rich from very young age and made his money shutting between Aba and Maiduguri. His mansions was opened by the military administrator of Abia state before he became governor. This is not SW that their rich men trace their money to government

Main Market, Onitsha[1] is one of the largest markets in West Africa based on geographical size and volume of goods.[2] It is based in the city of Onitsha, in Onitsha North Local Government Area, the commercial capital of Anambra State in southeastern Nigeria. The town is located on the east bank of the Niger River that joined the Anambra River. The building that made up the main market Onitsha was regarded as the largest in Nigeria. That building was destroyed during the Nigeria civil war in 1968 but was rebuilt after the war.[3]

Location
Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria
Management
Onitsha Market Traders Association
The market is governed by one of the most revered traders associations on the continent, the Onitsha Market Traders Association (OMATA). Most of the major import merchants from Eastern Nigeria have their head offices within the market. The average traders in the area are known to bring in at least six consignments of 40 tonnes (40-feet containers) of goods annually. Some of the major importers do more than 200 consignments of 40 tonnes of goods per year. These include jewelry, clothing, household, industrial, and office equipment.

It is bounded by the River Niger to the West and Fegge through Osumaru Road from the East. The market is secured by the Onitsha Main Market Vigilante Services working under the auspices of the Nigeria Police Force. The market can rightfully be described as the commercial powerhouse of West Africa. It is massively patronized by merchants in the ECOWAS sub-region including Accra, Abidjan, Douala, Niamey , Cotonou , and elsewhere on the continent, to mention a few.

A wide variety is on offer in Onitsha's main market. Despite good security, many pick-pockets and swindlers are active.

I have been in all those parts passing through to Afikpo to go pour in ibo pussy. I tell you na name, the market is not big.

The whole state self na only few kilometers apart from one end to another. If fight breaknout and ibo begin run, some already run crossed into another state before dem dey realize say they are no longer in Anambra.

Onitsha na small market, but to yanminri it is big.

This is what you want to believe because it makes you feel good

Do you have concrete evidence not stuff you heard somewhere

EVIDENCE?

What are the road links into Onitsha to justify these fantastic claims?
Is it that same Niger bridge that we all know that brings the world to Onitsha?

What exactly do they come to buy? Drones?
