You know something my friend, the way you Yorubas are fixated, critically analysing obtainable informations on anything Igbos are scary on one part and most shameful on the other.

Africapolis should be the target for all you Yorubas who do not agree with the report not the exciting Igbos who have gone through hell in this country, but have started to witness a gradual turn around in their demography and development after decades of subjugation, marginalization, market burnings in kano, Lagos, killings and destruction of their properties in the North etc.

I have very bad news for you guys. As Africa population is set to hit 2.2 or so billions by the year 2050, Onitsha (with surrounding towns/cities which she already formed an ecosystem economy/social union), will continue to grow and develop. The contested figure of 8 million in population will be surpassed (though, not a good news) in short period of time, Niger bridge will be built, Seaports will be built in different SS coastal capitals, international airports and travels will expand in due course in those regions

The profound changes you my Yoruba brothers will witness in the next 10 years in the World, Africa and Nigeria demographies due to 4th industrial revolution, block chain technologies can only be imagine. Its going to be so disruptive, you all will be forced to drop your current perspection of the world around you including your country, Lagos, tribalism, demographics and the lists are endless.

Asshurbanipal:
Bros. Go and fight with the author. Demographia also released similar data recently and rated onitsha ahead of lagos in urban built up landmass and second to Lagos in urban population

IamAtikulate:
Okay, Onitsha is the smallest city in Africa. Can you now use this same energy to fight the reports that Kano is more populated than Lagos?

Hating unnecessarily will not help your life.

IamAtikulate:
You don't have to submit your B.Sc thesis to me. Write a report to discredit that report than hating unnecessarily. Like I said before, we don't want to be the largest city in Africa in terms of population, we already have about 50 million Igbo population to deal with.

OBIANO IS A WIMP WHO EVEN HIS OWN WIFE AND FORMER MESSENGER AND LATER, SECRETARY BY NAME EBELECHUKWU OBIANO TEARS HIS SHIRT AT FUNCTIONS AND BEATS UP INSIDE GOVT. HOUSE AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY .HOW CAN SUCH A MAN BE TAKEN SERIOUS OR EVEN HAVE THE CLOUT TO ENDORSE ANYBODY?

THIS SAME AGULERI DRUNKARD OBIANO WAS ONLY TWO DAYS AGO ROUNDLY DISGRACE BY HIS WIFE WHO TORE HIS SHIRT AGAIN AT A CEREMONY BECAUSE HE INVITED ONE OF HIS GIRLFRIEND.
TO LIMIT THE NUMBER TO 15 IS A SERIOUS JOKE


OBIANO LIKE TO CARRY WOMAN, YET HE NEVER IMPREGNANT ANY ONE OF THEM BECAUSE HE IS FIRING BLANK BULLETS. AFTER HE MARRY HIS FIRST WIFE FOR 10 YEARS HE HAVE NO ISSUE.....AGAIN HE MARRY HIS MESSENGER IN THE OFFICE EBELECHUKWU OBIANO AND STILL NO ISSUE. THEY HAVE TO ADOPT TWO CHILDREN.


OBIANO SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON GETTING FREEDOM FROM ALCOHOL AND LEAVE HIS HAREM OF BEDMATES LIKE HIS FORMER FIDELITY BANK FEMALE STAFF LIKE CHIOMA OFFOR, ANGELA UBI, ADAEZE AND HIS FEMALE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY MEMBERS LIKE NIKKY UGOCHUKWU, VIVIAN OKADIGBO, HIS CURRENT SPEAKER RITA WITH THE BIG UKWU AS WELL AS THE FORMER ONE, CHINWE. HE IS BEDDING MOST OF HIS FEMMALE SA AND SSA. EVEN HIS COMMISSIONERS, ESP. SALLY THE ONE WHO USE NATIONAL FLAG AS HEADTIE. HE WAS EVEN IMPLICATED IN THE CHIDIMMA CUCUMBER SCANDAL.HE IS SAID TO BE THE ONE WHO REQUEST THAT VIDEO FOR HIS FUN. . HE SHOULD EQUALLY CONTROL HIS USELESS GENITAL BEFORE THE FEMALE SERVANTS BOTH INSIDE THE GOVERNMENT HOUSE . NOT ONLY THOSE,HE IS EQUALLY NOTORIOUS FOR HARRASSING FEMALE SERVANTS AND HOUSEKEEPING STAFF IN HOTELS AT LAGOS AND ABUJA.

ANAMBARA PEOPLE ARE REALLY IN TROUBLE FOR HAVING THIS MAN WIT LOOSE MORALS AND UPON THAT, A DRUNKARD AS THEIR GOVERNOR. HE HAVE EVEN INFLUENCE HIS ADOPTED DAUGHTER TO BECOME AN ALCOHOLIC AND SHE GET DRUNK AT EVERY PARTY SHE ATTEND IN US WHERE SHE IS STUDYING. . THE MAN HAVE NO SHAME

IamAtikulate:
They said city and you are bringing states. What I know is that Onitsha is larger than what your country can possibly estimate. Lagos is larger than Kano 2X, but officially, Kano is Larger than Lagos 1.5X, but look at the energy you are expending here just because it is Igbo.

Save that energy for Lagos. We don't even need that much population. We already have 45-50 million Igbo nation to care for. You can equally put defence against that, we don't care.

Based on the energy you are pursuing this with, you must be a Yoruba moslem.

IamAtikulate:
Stop saying what you don't know. MASSOB called for the boycott of that census.

CyynthiaKiss:
If it's by landmass, Niger state would have been the largest city in Africa. Go back and read the thread again, this time slowly.

Environer:
I am not here to argue with you. I just showed folks on here new information which is foretelling of the dangers a place like Onitsha faces in the near future. This news is not celebratory as it relates to Onitsha. Okay??

Environer:
Lol! How does World bank or IMF know that many people in Africa live on 1 or 2 dollar(s) a day? Do you think they physically counted all nearly one billion Africans? Have you heard of big data?

Environer:
You trust Nigerian (FAKE) census? Plus, when was your last census conducted?

Environer:
98 million Nigerians live in cities.

Environer:
All these cities you mentioned have clear boundaries between them and other neighboring cities. Onitsha has fused with neighboring cities without any boundaries, and is now a mega conurbation, with impending disaster

ABUJA - The fall out of primaries recently conducted by the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, Friday, took an ugly dimension as rebel group emerged from the party, calling itself Authentic All Progressives Grand Alliance, AAPGA.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja , the National Chairman of factional body, AAPGA, Chief (Deacon) Jerry Obasi ​​​​​ and the National Secretary, Alh. A.D. Musa, respectively, called on Governor Willie Obiano and National Chairman of All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, Dr. Victor Oye to resign from their offices with immediate effect.

The body which recalled various issues that have bedevilled the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in recent times, especially after the party primary elections, noted that Dr. Oye has taken APGA beneath the point he met it, adding, “At no time in its history has a chairman of APGA been so associated with widespread accusations of bribery, extortion and other unwholesome acts.”

The factional body also condemned what it said was “The demeaning and wicked treatment meted out to the widow of pioneer APGA leader, Her Excellency, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, and other loyal members of the party.”

According to Obasi, “You are no doubt aware of the various issues that have bedevilled the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in recent times, especially after the party primary elections.

“Accusations of bribery amid non-conduct of election trailed the nomination of candidates for the 2019 poll. In all these developments, it is obvious that APGA is no longer run as a political party, but as a private limited liability company.

“Having approached this crossroad, we are of the opinion that the situation calls for a radical solution. We have to decide whether to continue on the evil trajectory of impunity and political villainy or adopt a strategic template to guarantee the revival of the fundamental ideas that propelled the formation of APGA.

“Based on the foregoing, we have come to the inevitable conclusion that we must come together to recalibrate APGA in line with the dictates of our shared values and ideological purity of being our brothers’ keepers indeed.

“We must purge APGA of political wickedness and selfishness, particularly the myopia that made the party speak from both sides of the mouth regarding its future and preparedness for the nation’s electoral environment.

“The original and foundational ideology of APGA is that it should be inclusive and guarantee the rights of members to express themselves in line with democratic principles. It is obvious from prevailing circumstances that APGA has derailed and lost the moral compass that endears it to marginalised Nigerians.

“There is urgent need therefore, for loyal and genuine members of the party to embark on a programme that would bring back the party to the original ideas. This programme would involve the reconciliation and unification of all those that fought through thick and thin to ensure that APGA serves the purpose of political emancipation of all oppressed people.

“As first in the line of pragmatic steps leading to the recovery of APGA, we announce to you the birth of Authentic All Progressives Grand Alliance (AAPGA). We are committed to retaking and recovering our party from buccaneers and charlatans, whose ideology is to do merchandise with the collective will of the people.

“Under this new beginning of APGA, we intend to reach out to all those who have suffered injustice, impunity and deprivation with a view to refocusing the party in line with the original ideology and principles.

“We are determined to ensure that APGA should not suffer extinction in the hands of political travellers, especially those who are without APGA membership cards yet masquerading as leaders at the highest echelon of the party.

“The path we have chosen is by no means an easy one, but we are resolved that in order to address the series of injustice, marginalisation and exclusion in the party, we have to confront these internal enemies of APGA, who are blinded by pursuit of vanity and filthy lucre.”

Obasi noted that, “Based on the above scenario, we the authentic members of APGA, otherwise called Authentic All Progressives Grand Alliance, AAPGA, during our extraordinary National working Committee, NWC, meeting resolved as follows: “That we hereby call on Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State to resign his positions as governor, Chairman of Board of Trustees (BoT) and leader of APGA forthwith.

“That Dr. Victor Oye, the embattled national chairman of APGA, should resign from his position as chairman, having failed to improve the fortunes and good image of the party. He has rather taken APGA beneath the point he met it. At no time in its history has a chairman of APGA been so associated with widespread accusations of bribery, extortion and other unwholesome acts.

“The complaints from Imo, Abia and Anambra State chapters of APGA, to mention but a few, detailing the exchange of bribes in foreign and local currencies, are too weighty to be swept under the carpet.

“That the party should look into the activities of some elements masquerading as APGA UK, with a view to ascertaining the statuses of their membership and means of livelihood.

“That AAPGA condemns in very strong terms the invasion of Anambra State House of Assembly in a commando and Gestapo style. A clear line of demarcation should be drawn between and gangsterism in the name of party politics.

“That we condemn the demeaning and wicked treatment meted out to the widow of pioneer APGA leader, Her Excellency, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, and other loyal members of the party.

“That the threat by Oye to suspend Ojukwu’s widow is the height of irresponsibility and political rascality unbecoming of a national chairman of APGA and we hereby call on Oyeto retract the threat with a public apology with immediate effect.

“That Authentic APGA should set up three standing committees as follows: (i)Political Evaluation Committee, to assess, monitor crucial issues in the polity as the nation prepares for the 2019 election (ii) Rapprochement Committee, to reach out to mistreated and aggrieved members and (iii) Fiscal Complaints Committee, to compile cases of fiscal malfeasance and recommend appropriate remedial measures.”

It had better be half year, cos I have the data and statistics of 2017.

We are doing between ₦300 Billion and ₦350 billion. Yes the projection of ₦400 Billion by December ,2018 is very possible
