Several people including myself had said it on this forum that Onitsha metro area is one of the largest in the country but some haters were arguing blindly, I hope they can see the raw fact now

It still baffles me why some people are so pained by the development going on in the southeast with little from the federal government. And thanks to the Fulanis resetting our Igbo brothers brain back to default. If not they will never do anything.

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.

It should be noted that onitsha and any other eastern state did it without any government support rather the government have tried over the years to inhibit the growth of the eastern states...

I am so impressed, by the igbo's all this development was just because of the determination, and industrious nature... Well Lagos is also good, Nigeria is going somewhere, at least we are being recognized for one applaudable thing in the world. This, I thank God it's not, "highest poverty rate","highest slum area". smiley

I guarantee you that Igbos had more input in making Lagos an urban area than the baboons from the South West.

The nincompoop above me is already exhibiting the innate idiocy, envy and hate commonly found amongst the sophisticated mor0ns

Quit sounding daft! New York and Hong Kong are densely built up...are they landlocked as well!

I don't know why this erroneous notion of Igboland being landlocked makes some of you so happy and gives you a very stiff bone'r! undecided
