Ignorant mind kindly study these satellite map to understand better urbanization doesn’t end in Onitsha town other towns that makeup Onitsha metropolis are far bigger than Onitsha main town

Stop the comedy sir.Google that gave Ibadan 3,080 sq km and also gave Onitsha 52 sq km did not know whether it is Igboland or Yorubaland.

Ibadan might actually be bigger just like Onitsha might actually be bigger also.

All in all,Onitsha is a toddler when compared to Ibadan.

Pls,does Onitsha have a university?

I served in Igboland and I'm telling you these facts:

1. There are no good jobs there, and the cost of living is very high, even in the villages.

2. In Owerri, the only thing boosting the economy there is the presence of uncountable hotels.

3. Igbos do not trust each other, that's why I laugh at them when they say they want Biafra.

4. Igbos don't just like money , they worship money as a God.

5. It's only in Lagos, here they brag. There is nothing in their states.

6. The development and progress there is engineered as a result of borders shared with South South states.

7. And mind you, the empty vessel makes the loudest noise, and you can see they are the ones clamouring for Biafra, whereas South South is silent and focusing on states development.

Ìbàdàn city has 12 LGAs that made it up. You think chestbeaters like you tagged it the largest city in West Africa including Accra, Abidjan, Freetown etc? Those brown roofs in Ìbàdàn doesn't pass the totality of just 1 LGA leaving other 11 LGAs to urban areas. Idiot comparing Ìbàdàn with one useless erosion ravaged village with buildings whose owners live and earn their living in the same Ìbàdàn.

Indonesia city even more urbanized than New York?
It is not most urbanized but built up.
Onitsha is a tiny city established by the Binis that is not expanding as it should.It is a very old city which had failed to grow and gain more land like Ibadan.
Onitsha is only 52 square km while Ibadan is 3,080 square km.Onitsha is just about 5 GRAs in Ibadan.We have seen this demographia thing before sha.
Ibadan is big for nothing and mind you,towns like Nkpor,Obosi,Oba, that share boundaries with Onitsha are now closely knitted to Onitsha and by extension, part of the city. Igbos developed Onitsha not Binis. Onitsha people claimed they migrated from Benin but 90% of development in Onitsha were not done by indigenous Onitsha people.

Oga, igbos brag a lot. And that's the issue most Nigerians have with una. We are this, we are that all the time. Throwing unrealistic, hilarious stats all around the internet. Imagine someone saying arochuckwu that doesn't even exist on the Nigerian map is more developed than Lagos. What does that says? Or the nonsense rhetorics that Lagos was developed by igbos. Isn't that crazy? Okay, onitsha is now Dubai. You people should return home, abi?

The truth is the war has really weakened the average Igbo man's self esteem, and they constantly find themselves going to extra length to seek validation from other Nigerians. Arguably the best person I met in my entire life was igbo, so it hits me hard seeing the sort of nuisance many igbos constitute online just to prove needless rhetorics.
The Benevento guy that compared Arochukwu to Lagos is a Yoruba guy. Too bad your brain is clogged with nonsense to say about Igbos that you didn't notice his sarcasm or shadowiness.
When you rub it on Igbos that they can never be president its not bragging but seeing IGBO AMAKA make you lots cry out loud. AND hey spare us that my best friend is Igbo, my wife is Igbo, my helper is Igbo but I don't like Igbos I see online. That line is old try something new

Sorry to deviate..

Am I the only one or is there someone else who has noticed that recently, any issue affecting the whole of nigeria, like bad policies from the government, increased in VAT, electricity bill or fuel pump price increase..the Igbos hardly join in protest. When I said Igbos I mean the 5 South eastern states.

Is this to show that despite majority of Igbos being against this government, yet those that supported the government(especially north and south west) are the ones being hit by the famine? Cause there has been series of protests in Abuja, Lagos and some other northern and south western states, yet the 5 eastern states are quiet about it and going about their normal businesses.

Two things are involved,
1. It is either the Igbos don't see the challenges as a burden. Or

2. Igbos truly don't care about Nigeria and only interested in Biafra.. meaning whatever is happening in Nigeria is none of their business.

Ibadan is more developed and has the biggest consumer markets than the entire Igboland.

Get your facts right, Ibadan is not the only city in Oyo state. There is Oyo town itself, Oke Ogun area, shaki etc. Pls if you don't know, do a little visiting not research on internet as most of the information on internet about Nigeria are written by those who don't even live in the country. Are there slums in Ibadan? yes but that is the price of being a huge city in landmass, there is a reason why the city is in the Top 10 and it's because of its continued progress.

Ibadan is only city in Oyo state other areas are jungle
