myobjective: Lol. Of course! Thank you. People in Karu don't say they are going to Abuja either, they can only say they are going inside town. Besides, I have even seen cases where people in the satellite towns say they are going to the main towns. Like in Jos, people in Bukuru may say they are going 'inside Jos' or in Warri, people in Uvwie & Udu may say they are going to Warri (although the case of Warri is strongly influenced by Tribalism). In Yola, people in Jimeta say they are going to Yola because Yola is the old town while Jimeta is the new town.... All these things sometimes are just names & nomenclatures that come about by political, traditional and sometimes tribal divisions. .... However, as long as towns & cities are joined together socially and economically, they are considered one single Urban/Metro area. Ask people like Agboriotejoye that are arguing, what if the FG decides to take the whole of Karu & Suleja into FCT's jurisdiction to manage as it has been proposed, will they now then become part of Abuja urban area to him? Then if Abaji is adjusted to join Kogi state, then it ceases to be part of Abuja? Or if Kotonkarfe is adjusted to join FCT, then it now becomes part of Abuja? What a comic relief 1 Like |

Nowenuse: In ur op, you added bwari, karu, gwagwalada to Abuja. Why didn't you just refer to all those places as fct. I'm simply following your definition. Do you know where bwari and kuje are? When people say Abuja, it is loosely used to refer to the fct as a whole. Nobody in bwari will say I'm in bwari but not in Abuja. But nobody will say I'm in Abuja whereas he's in suleja. Suleja is to all intents and purposes different from Abuja. Quote me anywhere. I'm telling you dis as someone who moves round those areas well. It's just like Lagos. Someone in Ikeja and another in ketu are in Lagos. But nobody will be in Mowe and say he's in Lagos. Like I told you, if you decide to come up with ur own definition to add suleja to Abuja, it's ur wahala. But when Abuja/FCT was being created, suleja was not part of it. 5 Likes |

Nowenuse:FCT just a small land area?? lol joker. FCT is about the same size of Enugu state and it's even more bigger than, Lagos, Anambra, IMO, Abia suleja is in Niger state simple as that. just that it's proximity to Abuja FCT makes it develop faster, just like New karu in Nasarawa state 1 Like |

This might just be for academic purpose. Onitsha is 2nd to Lagos in terms of population density and also wonder how Owerri is placed above Onitsha n Enugu 5 Likes |

Nowenuse: This is still what I'm talking about. FG can't just take. Land belongs to the states in Nigeria. Abuja/FCT has its own boundary and suleja is not part of it neither is karu. Abaji is part of Abuja just like places after ogere remo are part of Ibadan. 3 Likes |

Grgton:The guy's problem is oversabi. How can you carry an American system of defining boundaries to Nigeria. America have mayors and the cities with homogenous groups which are more or less like states with their own autonomy. You now compare to Nigeria that uses LGAs and recognises towns as separate units from cities with tribes and races. Suleja has an emir. He'll rather die than hear he is now a part of Abuja because Abuja belongs to gbagyi He should have found out how cities and urban settlements are mapped in Nigeria. But he has an ulterior motive based on his previous thread which was to prove that northern cities are bigger than southern ones. Same guy is now accusing someone of tribalism. All he did is academic in the real sense and to all intents and purposes have no bearing in those areas he crafted. Nowenuse, sorry your attempt has failed. Try next time 8 Likes |

Nowenuse: It seems you still want to claim you are right when you are wrong. Why leaving places you need to capture and now you are trying to justify the work on who or who did the work. This is one problem with Nigeria and you Nigerians. You can never do anything right , down playing others but still want to look right. 5 Likes |

The ONLY reason you see these types of silly posts is to justify the stealing of OIL resources. Everyone knows that some so called cities are nothing more than a conglomeration on mud houses with one family in it. While true cities in Nigeria consisting of multi-storey buildings with tens of families living in it are conveniently left out. 1 Like |

myobjective: In terms of waterworks, I don't know how many Kano has but Ibadan has three serving it. Eleyele, Mokola and Asejire In terms of bridges, Ibadan has a lot I can't begin to count, should be about ten or so if i'm correct. You can furnish me with that of Kano Stadia that I know of, Ibadan has two main stadia, Liberty( Obafemi Awolowo) and Adamasingba while Kano has only Sani Abacha stadium. Of course, Liberty beats Sani Abacha hands down. Ibadan has two golf course that I know of. And for canals, don't go there. Ogunpa canal alone which was built after the biggest flooding a Nigerian city has ever witnessed in 1981 is bigger than the combined canal in Kano not to talk of others. 8 Likes |

Nowenuse:I wont argue with you on warri and benin,am not familiar with those cities.ill concern myself with calabar and uyo.when both cross river and akwa ibom were in one state,calabar was the capital.it is an ancient city like kano,ibadan,zaria etc unlike uyo that is relatively new... If you look at wikipedia,the total land area of uyo is 362km and they included uruan,ibesikpo and itu but they gave calabar land area as 410km.they didnt include akpabuyo or odukpani. 4 Likes |

senatordave1: I disagree bro, while Warri isn't where she's supposed to be, the city Urbanization isn't slow, A greater part of Okpe is now developed, places like Jeddo, Osubi, Ughoton are fast becoming a city, so development cuts across 4 LGA's. Most of our cities are overrated thou. |

myobjective: You are very very correct with this assertion. The core north or Muslim north has a big problem with middle-class population and this is largely due to illiteracy and nothing else. I also saw this disappointment in Minna when I went there.... Any place that is northern muslim dominated is always like that. They are a very backward and retrogressive people. 1 Like |

senatordave1: Kind of, but the situation in Kaduna was somehow fraudulent. Sabo (the biggest suburb south of the Kaduna river) was actually part of old Kaduna city LGA but during the division of Kaduna LGA into Kaduna north & South LGAs, Sabo was taken to Chikun LGA... This was done to deliberately weaken the population of Christians in Kaduna north & south LGAs. Muslim dominated areas in the north of Kaduna river were added to Kaduna south LGA... It was just purely manipulated. |
