Onitsha
Aba
Otta
Kano

zaria is famous for the number of higher institutions that are located there. so i can place it side by side with boston usa but on the lighter scale sha

Kafanchan in kaduna state,zaki-biam in benue state,

It used to be Aba but right now, I think it comes behind Otta.

1.Otta

2.Aba

3.Agbara

4.Nnewi

The above is for industrialized. For commercial it is Onitsha followed by Aba. Warri and Bonny are important oil export and production hubs which out-classes Aba and Onitsha in wealth but they are not commercialized enough outside oil. Sapele, Eket and some other monotonous commercial or industrial towns also exist.

Onitsha is second to none.

Stop fooling urselfs. Onitsha, Nnewi and Abba simple.

What is Abraka doing on that list?

i will add
otukpo
ugbokolo and
otupka

FSU:

LMAO. A few in Ijebu Ode but not among the top 15.

Ijebu-ode ke, how many industries are in ijebu-ode, na soso private schools and churches full there, or u want to add partying as industry?

Geomac: Sango Ota & Agbara are leading

You made a good point/observation since Ogun is fast becoming the next Lagos. But do Agbara and Sango Ota qualifies as cities? I think they are just towns.

FSU: In no order of most industrialized

Aba (Abia)
Onitsha (Anambra)
Agbara (Ogun)
Otta (Ogun)
Warri (Delta)
Nnewi (Anambra)
Zaria (Kaduna)

Not sure how many companies are in Sapele, let alone Abraka.

They are industrial towns.

Jarus: Apart from the already mentioned like Onitsha, Aba, Zaria etc let me add:

Ijebu Ode
Ogbomoso
Ilesa
Ile-Ife
Okene

becuse of ijebu garri's company?

SANGO-OTTA, OGUN STATE

Castos: Stop fooling urselfs. Onitsha, Nnewi and Abba simple.

Exactly! and until our government realizes d potentials of Igbo people, industrialization and change as we saw in the Asian tigers may remain a mirage.

I think this should lead to a list of Cities more popular than their state capitals.
The very no1 will be Onitsha.
Aba.
Warri.
Ife/Ilesha.
Otta

Geomac: Sango Ota & Agbara are leading

you are really really really correct. Sango Ota is larger than Abeokuta.

FSU:

Agbara does not have more industries in general than Nnewi, but it has more multi-national bluechips for sure.

have seen it in you that u are a local champion. Have nt u been to Agbara?.do u think we are talking about movie advert and selling usually done in Nnewi?.go sit

Its Agbara followed by Aba.We have to consider turnover and product spread

Beaf: Sapele is Delta states 3rd biggest town. Some pics...

Safarian Sports Bar and Grill, Sapele, Delta State

The second picture is not sapele.

Jarus: Apart from the already mentioned like Onitsha, Aba, Zaria etc let me add:

Ijebu Ode
Ogbomoso
Ilesa
Ile-Ife
Okene

City
- A large town.
- The financial and commercial district of London, England.

Town
- An urban area that has a name, defined boundaries, and local government, and that is larger than a village and generally smaller than a city.

If we are to go by the English definition of what a city is, then the following should be the most commercialized/industrialized:

- Lagos Island/Ikoyi/Obalende.
- Victoria Island/Lekki/Ajah.
- Sango Ota (Far bigger than both Abeokuta and Ijebu Ode).
- Aba.
- Ikorodu.
- Onitsha.
- Warri.

Agbara is an industrial town.

The OP original post looks funny.
*in United States a good number of developed cities are non_state capital eg Lose Angelese, Chicago, las Vegas, Hollywood, Detriots,Houstin, Miami, San Fransisco*
Apart from Hollywood, d other names r state capitals na. Hollywood is not even commercialised or industrialised sef, just a residential suburb. Just like the second poster wrote; he should go back to school.

I tire for this bias thread oh. Why is onitsha conspicuously missing here? Its onitsha and others. Aba is commercial but not even industrialized as nnewi. Onitsha is both industrialized and commercial. Onitsha takes all the cake. meanwhile you guys should continue naming dead villages here (especially the sweet people) and continue turning the thread to a joke it has become. ogbomosho indeed

post hidden.

Mr. Globe:

lol.. I saw that too but decided to face the topic. Detroit is the capital of Michigan, Los Angeles for California, Chicago for Illinois and others but lets leave his ignorance and face his massage tho

Los Angeles is not the capital of CA, Sacramento is.

I dont know why u guys are dragging over dis issue, der is no place as commercialised & industrialised as ABA, NNEWI & ONITSHA. PERIOD!!!! Sapele & Co should go take a swim as usual cos i know dey're highly commercialised and industrialised when it comes 2 swimming tinz. LMAO!!!!

FSU:

Los Angeles is not the capital of CA, Sacramento is.

Read his post again.

FSU: In no order of most industrialized

Aba (Abia)
Onitsha (Anambra)
Agbara (Ogun)
Otta (Ogun)
Warri (Delta)
Nnewi (Anambra)
Zaria (Kaduna)

Not sure how many companies are in Sapele, let alone Abraka.

Best compilation/list. Case closed.

lmaoooooo. maybe the op meant that type of commercialization considering what ve seen here. ogbomosho too and the rest are commercialized by early farming model. LMAO

Otta is industrialized but not commercial. it just took advantage of its nearness to Lagos.
