BeautifulMind2: Yet, Onitsha town, the other Communities that you claimed they made up Onitsha, combined with the two Local Government's that made up Onitsha. All of them put together are not as big as my Ward. We also have hundreds of wards in Nigeria, that are bigger than your Onitsha.

afroniger:You don't have to submit your B.Sc thesis to me. Write a report to discredit that report than hating unnecessarily. Like I said before, we don't want to be the largest city in Africa in terms of population, we already have about 50 million Igbo population to deal with. 2 Likes |

IamAtikulate: Your retort already confirms that neither you nor the author of the report can factually defend that quack-job in the face of cold hard facts. The public domain is replete with more than enough reliable data to invalidate that crap without breaking a sweat. But Ofcourse, you and the author of that nonsense are entitled to your opinion but you are certainly not entitled to your facts because facts are sacred. Keep wallowing in your self-imposed delusion. |

IamAtikulate: Setting the records straight has nothing to do with 'hating'. The fact remains that without a credible census, it'll be difficult to ascertain which is more populated between Kano and Lagos, BUT big data as well as other metrics can guide us toward a close to accurate estimate, .e.g, number of births in the hospitals and clinics, active telephone usage data, consumer volumes, energy consumption average per household, number of passengers in transit categories, number of children in and out of schools. All these are reliable ways of estimating the population of a state/country in the absence of a credible census. It's nothing personal, just trying to set the records straight lest people get misinformed. 1 Like 1 Share |

afroniger: You know something my friend, the way you Yorubas are fixated, critically analysing obtainable informations on anything Igbos are scary on one part and most shameful on the other. Africapolis should be the target for all you Yorubas who do not agree with the report not the exciting Igbos who have gone through hell in this country, but have started to witness a gradual turn around in their demography and development after decades of subjugation, marginalization, market burnings in kano, Lagos, killings and destruction of their properties in the North etc. I have very bad news for you guys. As Africa population is set to hit 2.2 or so billions by the year 2050, Onitsha (with surrounding towns/cities which she already formed an ecosystem economy/social union), will continue to grow and develop. The contested figure of 8 million in population will be surpassed (though, not a good news) in short period of time, Niger bridge will be built, Seaports will be built in different SS coastal capitals, international airports and travels will expand in due course in those regions The profound changes you my Yoruba brothers will witness in the next 10 years in the World, Africa and Nigeria demographies due to 4th industrial revolution, block chain technologies can only be imagine. Its going to be so disruptive, you all will be forced to drop your current perspection of the world around you including your country, Lagos, tribalism, demographics and the lists are endless. 6 Likes |

CIA gave a report that Igbos are the second largest people in Nigeria after the hausas. The Yorubas was questioning the credibility of their report. Now, another foreign report on Onitsha being the third largest city in Africa they are here again with the same argument. The era of using Lagos-ibadan media to deceive the public is over.Igbos are coming to take their rightful place in Nigeria whether anybody likes it or not 9 Likes |

It's good for them to live in denial and think that Lagos is all while south east develop their cities from Enugu, to Onitsha and Owerri and other key cities...they never knew that Abakiliki is amazing until pictures started coming out ...we are not even talking about new cities and towns like Oguta , Okigwe , Orlu, Ezenifite, Awka Etiti , Awka etc.. I told one yesterday that isn't very rare to see mud house in Igbo land yet hé said I was bragging ...so I left him and I think it's good to allow them live in that illusion of Lagos and let us develop unnoticed Sometimes don't argue ...just let it slide..we have to plough back and repatriate all the capital and thank Lord that Nigeria situation is resetting the brains of Igbo 7 Likes |

There is a divide and rule strategy devised to divide the people of the SS and SE. There is this fear about biafra and it stems from the fact that the area is too blessed abundantly with oil and gas, minerals and best and best of it all, HUMAN RESOURCE, Add all of these together and you'll have a country that will become a first world developed country in 20 yrs. This scares them, so they devise means of dividing the populace on social media by brandishing igbo/efik/ibibio/ijaw/annang/igala names to force people to believe an average igbo man is evil, who only wants nigerdelta oil to himself yet they killed boro and saro wiwa. After the war, they started their agenda by taking all our money and giving every igbo man 20 pounds, carrying out massive propaganda which deceived our igbo brothers in rivers to buy our properties cheaply which was tagged abandoned by the FG, this led to infighting and the division that we see today, if you are blessed with critical thinking, you'd ask why was abandoned property rampant in port harcourt alone? 30 years after, the same igbos they ganged up against to subjugate have taken over the economy, because of the love and republican nature of the igbos, we have forgiven all our eastern brothers who fought against us, and today the eastern ethnic groups of Nigeria have the highest self made millionaires , highest educated group with the biggest middle class cluster than any other region of the country. Remember kanu said the FG asked he take the igbo states alone... it shows how scared the north and southwest are of the igbos and will do anything to keep them down or better still cut them off and bring the igbos to their mercy. If these things I've come to notice aren't true, then why do the average yoruba man run to every biafra topic/news/post/article/webcast to derail it? Why did they support the killings of unarmed igbos by soldiers because they happen to be ipob members? . Why have they turned a blind eye to the systematic marginalization of the igbos? . Why have the ports in the east been moribund since the end of the war and yet no Yoruba man has even fought to save other ports of the southern region? . Why did the yorubas demand derivation from her seaport, and is still fighting to add more yet claiming they are trying to decongest lagos but cunningly choose to site another seaport in ibeju lekki to attract igbos to settle and develop ogun state. they hope to replicate the "igbo lagos effect" in ogun state. But the seaports in the eastern half have been systematically kept unusable due to the fear of Biafra. . The Igbos fought for the mid-west to become a region which irked the SW. So i ask, if the igbos don't stand up for their brothers in the SS, Who will? We believe in LIVE AND LET LIVE and our culture and republican nature has proven it time and time again, we hold on to our words but can same be said of the yorubas? If i may ask, Why have the Yoruba man decided to make 2023 a time for their own presidency, Starting from tinubu, to fashola and ogundamisi urging Yoruba populace to vote so as to win 2023 seat, forgetting that the nation's unity is miraculously sitting on a cotton string and an igbo presidency will do a lot to save this dying unity? Do they actually care about the Nigerian project or are they only bothered about their ethnic's interest? . During the declaration of no victor no vanquished, why was the 3Rs started in LAGOS? Was the war fought in Lagos? it was fought in the east and up to today, nothing has been done about it, the eastern development commission bill was systematically stopped and yet there have been Northern Nigeria development commission since the 1970s, and now the recent North eastern development commission due to Boko Haram, but the east that was practically ravaged by cluster bombs have not been granted any development commission. The recent request to grant lagos special status will be effected soon, where does that leave the eastern region that was ravaged by cluster bombs and deliberate destruction of properties? . the second Niger bridge was initiated around the same time as the second river benue bridge, and approximately five years after the river benue bridge was built, the river Niger bridge hasn't been built yet . To My Yoruba brothers You may think we don't noticed all these things that you yorubas do, the cunny acts, the backbitting, the eye service, the envy, the jealousy.. WE DO! But a time will come when things will become clearer to everyone who has fought to bring the Igbos and her cousins down. If i may ask, the south west states, in terms of internal infrastructure, how are you coping, i mean have the average ibadan man contributed to his hometown, like building a house or renovating his fathers house to a standard home? if yes, how rampant is it? there is a reason why south western states except Lagos are rural in nature? i will answer this question... the average Yoruba man loves ready made things and is not concerned with how those things were made, an example is the recent TEDx talk about igbo apprenticeship system, you needed to see how so many yorubas applauded the system and urged the federal government to study and implement it but if you remember they tagged us ritualist, they claimed we love money more than ourselves and this believe stems from the fact that wealth is very well spread in igboland due to this system. But our yoruba brothers, rather than learn, out of envy and jealousy, they mocked us, hounded us, called us names, called us the reason why Nigeria is bad due to our drug peddling and ritual killings, Now a white researcher studied the system and preaches to the world to implement it, our yoruba brothers have suddenly become good neighbors who love the igbo apprenticeship system....... THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR READY MADE THINGS. The average yoruba man hardly helps his brother and if he happens to be the only rich person, he will prefer to remain so to retain his OLOWO-ship, A yoruba man does not go back home to make it better after making money, he will rather buy a house in lagos and forget his hometown because he feels it is filled with poor wretched people living in an environment below his taste. and to add, the diabolic act of tapping people's glory and causing stagnancy in a particular area is rampant in the southwest....So tell me how will things change economically for them? IF THINGS CONTINUE LIKE THIS, JUST KNOW THAT THE NEW GENERATION OF ELITES FROM THE EAST COMING INTO POWER WILL MAKE SURE BIAFRA IS ACHIEVED. THE EVIL AGENDA WOULD HAVE GONE ON FOR TOO LONG TO SING KUMBAYA KUMBAYA WITH THE POWER HUNGRY NORTH AND THE SLY SOUTHWEST. Chinedu Okezie Imo State 1 Like |
