Onitsha Became A British Trading Post In The 18th Century-oxford Business Group by Anambra1stSon(m): 10:41am On May 29, 2020 |
ONITSHA: The trading hub of Onitsha, with the Onitsha River Port Complex, has strong trade links with other parts of the country and with many foreign countries; its market is described as one of the largest in West Africa. Onitsha is a key vector in Anambra’s industrial development plans. An established commercial centre, Onitsha is the main hub for goods coming upstream from the Niger River delta and those transported downstream from towns on the Niger and Benue rivers. Arguably one of the largest commercial nerve centres in Africa, linking the West African hinterland with Europe and Americas since the 1600s, it has been an international trading centre for almost 200 years. Onitsha became a British trading post in the 18th century, acting as a link between commodities coming from the northern part of West Africa and Niger River hinterland. The city also played host to the Portuguese and Dutch. Today, it still boasts its nationwide reach. Roads connect the city to nearby urban centres Enugu, Owerri and Asaba linking it all way through Benin City to Lagos in the south-west. Its strategic position between the country’s East and West has made it the second-biggest trading centre in the country, after Lagos. 2 Likes

Orisha (Onitsha) has Edo and Yoruba influence. That's what saved it from the usual abject poverty in the SE Thank us for being not so abysmal 1 Like |
