Ife, Abeokuta and Zaria. I laugh in my dialet
Re: Cities That Are Becoming More Popular Than State In Nigeria by Bkayyy: 7:58pm On Sep 17, 2020
How about Ibadan, an average Nigerian and African see her as a state. Some people don't even know oyo state but I'm yet to see anybody refer to Onitsha as a state.
I don't think Onitsha should be there. If you doubt answer this question, have you seen or heard anybody refer to Onitsha as state like Ibadan, abakiliki, Zaria, Calabar and port Harcourt?
You didn't even add Ilorin

we have powerful institutions in maiduguri which include the University of Maiduguri, Ramat Polytechnic, Borno State College of Legal and Islamic Studies, and Kashim Ibrahim College of Education.

The university of maiduguri operates a teaching hospital, and there is also a general hospital in the city. The Lake Chad Research Institute is located in Maiduguri.

The city lies astride the historic pilgrim route from Senegal to Mecca.

The city is the terminus for the main railway line linking northeastern Nigeria to Port Harcourt. Served by the main highway system, it is a hub for secondary highways serving the state.

There is an airport located 5.5 miles (9 km) west of Maiduguri.

Maiduguri has popular military barrack, Giwa barrack and Mai malari barrack.

Maiduguri is the capital of Borno and the most develope city in Borno state.
