Land mass is the reason

My wonderful Ibadan


.

jimyjames:
Onitsha amaka
the real dot in a big empty cycle

Look at where almighty Ibadan which some people claim is bigger than the 5 igbo states put together is?

They aren't talking about landmass here nah!
Do u really know the meaning of the word built up or I are just clowning around?

MadamExcellency:


Have you been to Ariaria metropolis?

So Ariara alone is like 2million people. Maybe you shou come and check erekesan market in Akure too.

joyandfaith:


Nigeria is a joke. No wonder FG is afraid of another census.

Don’t worry technology will take care of those lies ... only with time... foul Nyash will open

Nigercity:
I wonder how we all believe that ilorin is more populated than Aba
Like
I have been to both cities
Remove unilorin from ilorin
I see nothing there,

Maybe they were only talking about ABA (not including the metropolitan area, like Ariaria, osisioma, obingwa and ugwunagbor which are actually more populated than Aba city itself)

Cos by all standard ABA as a City is has a population far above 1.6 million
If you have been to the City, you will actually know that

We the Aba people know this...
We ain't bothered by such Stats..
We are populous and innovative..
Aba to D world..

Some Nigerians are not too bright.
See how Igbos are salivating on this thread!
Totally SMH

built-up
/bɪltˈʌp/
adjective
1.
(of an area) densely covered by buildings.
"he steered the stricken aircraft away from the built-up area"


Of course, SE will be more urban, they have a very small space to develop.
If you pack the same furniture in a 2 bedroom apartment and in also in a 50 bedroom apartment, will you get the same effect?

People need to realise the researchers used satellite images to do this.
It has absolutely nothing to do with population.

Onitsha amaka
the real dot in a big empty cycle

Tell them oo

During election, INEC will be telling us Zamfara 3 million!!!

I can Tell you for fact that the whole of Ibadan at the moment has more than 5million residence. So what you are telling me is Onitsha is Bigger than Ibadan? If Onitsha alone 7milliom(approximately according to your reference), Then what is the total Population of Anambra State?

Don't just believe everything you see online. We all know for a fact that the 2006 Census was fraud but notwithstanding, this figure for Onitsha is Aggravated.

Benin more populated than portharcourt big lie Benin get population? I wonder where you guys always get this fake figures from

Ipob agenda

Goke7:


The second Niger bridge being built will serve Kano abi? Why are you guys so greedy?

Even if everything is given to you guys, you will still complain and murmur. I just tire for Una matter.

The Buhari you guys hate is the one making second Niger bridge possible which will open up onitsha more. omo you guys are heartless

Has there been a SE president that failed to work on the bridge? If the bridge wasn't connected to SS Buhari won't do it. Tell me the name that Buhari haven't called the Igbos? Or is it in appointments?

Nigercity:

The same way the told us in 2006 that Benin was more populated than pH Which is even laughable

2006

I believe their consideration ratio is:
1. The population
2. Ability to draw investors
3. Weather
4. A business oriented environment.

Not physical structures.

Asgard73:
Igbos are resilient

Call the developers... either as taunt or real.. that’s who they’re

Apart from Kano Warri

The rest Na igbos .... developed.

Mention with sense ... and must be a traveler that have been to those states to mention.

PLS INCLUDE KANO AND WARRI -SABON GARI IS ONE OF THE MOST URBAN AREA IN KANO AND IT IS DEVELOPED BY IGBOS

WARRI MA WE FULL THERE AND CO-DEVELOPED IT.

1. Dubai
2. Madrid

5. Milan

8. Kuwait City (capital of Kuwait)
9. Detroit
10. Athens
11. Rome..
12. Manchester City... The budgets of these cities may be 4x that of all our "built up cities" combined. Development, mode of transportation and other infrastructure might be 10x that of all our cities and states combined. Make we no dey find joy for where e no dey.

IgweOfNnewi:
See the wide margin between Lagos and onitsha, the dot are really the darkest spot in the history of Nigeria, dot of criminality since 1914

Lagos as it is, is not something afonjas should be boasting of. Lagos was once the FCT, it was built by entire Nigerians. Afonjas were not up to 30 percent of those that made Lagos what it is today but Onitsha on the other hand was built and dwelt by 99.9 percent Igbos. Do a census in Lagos today and you will see that afonjas are not up to 60 percent of Lagos dwellers and when I mean Lagos, I mean the city not the interior villages in the state.

Siwisheswereesh:


The population of the whole Anambra is not up to 6.9million...

Dumbo with IPOB order for Igbos not to participate in voters registration in Southeast before last General election go and check numbers of Anambra that insisted to register, just use your Google

Onitsha amaka
the real dot in a big empty cycle

Look at where almighty Ibadan which some people claim is bigger than the 5 igbo states put together is?

is the report talking about overall size or increase in 2021 alone?

Flier:
The stat is very wrong

Go and do your own stat or shut up.

Na so!
Nigeria's population has never been debunked by the international community. In fact, they regularly submit that it's higher than our census.

They have their methods of determining.

joyandfaith:


2006 census was a fraud. Reliable census was conducted during colonial regime. I have been in onitsha, benin city, port Harcourt, owerri, aba, abuja, kano, kaduna, zaria, Katsina. I served in funtua, Katsina state. I am familiar with ilorin . I live in. Ibadan.
There are more people in southern nigeria than north.

SouthEastFacts:

It means an urban area intensely developed for housing, commerce, industry, etc.

Here's a drone coverage of Onitsha

Thanks for this video.

When we tell these people to visit the east and see development, they think we are making mouth.

gawu1:

Did you ask your self when was that census conducted by the oyibo or
You believed what one European just sat down and estimated as truth but you will not believe census conducted by your own country.
What most people commenting here failed to put into consideration or know but chose to ignore is that Kano city is not the same as Kano state, Kaduna is not the same as kaduna state.
Whether you agree with me or not, the population of the north is more the less rural. That is to say majority of the northen population are rural dwellers.
Compare with the south which population concentration is mostly town base. And the reasons for this are not far fetched: land and occupation type: For instance, there are numerous researches which clearly show that one of the most dense occupied place in Africa is the south eastern Nigeria. But this does not mean that the people of eastern Nigeria are more in population than every other in Africa.
Therefore, Lagos may be more populated than Kano but Lagos State is not populated than Kano state. Even with out census, most of the statistical data in this respect favour Kano than Lagos.

you are totally right on this

If you want to increase population just look for women and begin to impregnate them like rabbits.
It is very easy to increase population but to take care of the entire population is difficult, the resources will not be evenly distributed. Many will scramble to the few
and left over available resources.
Those countries above know the implications of a controlled population. That is why they are doing fine.

theTranslator:
When did population density become a plus?

Chai
IPOB are deranged

And how is Onitsha 6.9 million?
If only Onitsha is 6.9
Then Anambra state will be 25 million
Demographia has taken some real bad weed

Let them have it, They need something to chest beat after being termed A dot in a circle.

Asgard73:


Don’t mind those people that have deserted their states .. all is ghosted
Once you call a Yoruba state .. instead make them Dey proud .. Na to quickly mention Lagos.

What about the remaining five Yoruba states?

ibadan and Ilorin na your state abi?
