You better be careful with these foreign investors. They are the cause of high poverty through capital flight

Ilorin is Yoruba land but we have different religion believes... We are Muslims, and not a idol worshippers.

But you combined both like the others before Fulani totally conquered you

I said it, that those waiting for pro Obi protest will wait in vain. That Tinubu will be the one to resort to protest

while the commerce that rated lagos, delta and kaduna higher didn't remember kano.

Which commerce in Delta? Oil is what promoted Delta

FacilitatorLekk:

The data Op used is old data.

The so called new data you are quoting Lagos dropped from 41B to 33B while Rivers grew from 7B to 21 B. Can this be real? And you have no credible source

plaindealer:



Stop acting as if it's by force not to make sense because I really don't see the sense in this post.

I'm sure you got the sense in it but you lack further points to counter it

They're all migrating for Economic prosperity. And last time I checked, India use to be the Poverty capital of the world bfr Nigeria over took. So yeah the Economic prosperity the SW have to give them is what they're after

Is SW different from Nigeria?

Workch:
going your logic, umuahia is part of Aba metro 😂😂

Do you have continuous sprawl between them? Do you know better than Google

Workch:
Nnewi is part of Onitsha metro 😂😂🚉

Where are you from? 🤣

You see why you have been disgracing yourself?

Workch:
add Ogidi and Obosi, Onitsha is not up to 350km.

Should I do it?

We are talking about Nnewi to Orlu you are talking about Obosi

Workch:
😂😂😂
Adding Asaba to onitsha is foolish

That is where your ignorance originates from. When they rate Onitsha high, it's not because of Onitsha but all population clusters in that axis. So you can now rest

plaindealer:


Rubbish, illogical, baseless and irrelevant analogy

What'sy business with your baseless assumptions?

Since you so much love the world Bank, you should be ok with the same world bank saying there's little economic growth in imo.

At the end of the day after GDP and IGR, all we want is growth, it's the bottom line, when their is zero growth, it means you are regressing and not progressing.

So I really have to break it down to you like a little baby?

Africa has the fastest growing economies. Adolescent grow faster than adults

jumper524:
that report is too poor.
They placed ondo above ogun while benue above kano.

Reality is different from media perception

jumper524:
Benue has bigger Gdp than kano while ondo has better than kano.
Who made this list?

Benue = Agriculture
Ondo = Oil
For your information, agriculture and trade contribute higher to GDP than formal sector like manufacturing, banking etc

FacilitatorLekk:

You were showing 2021 GDP, this is 2022 GDP rating.

Here is a recap of the wealthiest Nigerian states and their respective GDPs in 2022.
Lagos: $33.68 Billion.
Rivers: $21.15 billion.
Delta: $16.75 billion.
Oyo: $16.12 billion.
Imo: $14.77 billion.
Kano: $12.39 billion.
Edo: $11.89 billion.
Akwa Ibom: $11.09 billion.

Revenue is sure a measure of wealth, revenue is inflows, capital, that is what is used to build wealth.

The figures are two high to be real. No economy can record such growth in one year

Workch:
I know your map, I know Anambra state very well. Trust me, you can't fool me

You lack in depth understanding of the subject matter. For your information Asaba is part of Onitsha metro. Owerri is close to joining. The point here is population clusters not cultural affinity

Workch:
Ogidi and Obosi is not in Onitsha South or North, they are in idemili.

Onitsha metropolitan area is made up of Onitsha south and north, Obosi, Nkpor and some parts of Ogidi.

I know onitsha very well, it's small

The data is a well known data. Onitsha two LGA is 52 km square

Workch:
see look the map.
From head bridge to Ogidi (this part of Ogidi is not even onitsha per se) is still a shorter than than osisioma to Asa umunka in Aba. That distance withing Aba is still twice from headbridge onitsha to Ogidi.

Onitsha is small. It cannot be the 2md most built up by number of houses.

What of the Oba, Ojoto, Nnewi, Orlu axis the you deliberately cut off from your map?

Stop spreading fake info

Revenue is not a measure of wealth

plaindealer:



World Bank is not a Nigerian institution hence the word estimate at the bottom of the report, it's not factual, it's just an estimation.

Going by the same world Bank, Imo is not growing economically.

Everything we do in life and economically is all about growth, it's the reason why we get education, to work and get promotion, to make profit and prosper, but Imo is not growing economically.

Learn how to read and digest basic info.

So if I make one million this year and one million next year, while you make 50k this year and 100k next year then you are better than me? Learn how to interpret data. Meanwhile that's local data from incompetent quota system products. The world Bank is more reliable

Workch:
the onitsha on your map, you are adding okija, ihiala , Nnewi and even orlu to it 😂😂

You must think I am a foolll 🤣

Now that is where your ignorance is coming from. Those places are part of Onitsha metro

Workch:
lol, Onitsha is not even as big as Aba in Abia state even if you add Nkpor, Obosi and Ogidi.

I don't know how you people see this una onitsha 😂

That figure is for Onitsha South and Onitsha north LGA.

Workch:
I have lived in Onitsha for 6 months. I lived at Niger Avenue, Fegge.

I have at least spent on week Abuja, Aba, owerri, Ibandan, Ilorin, Uyo, Calabar and Benin.

I served in port Harcourt and lived in Enugu for 4 years.

Enugu, Owerri, Benin, Ibadan, Abuja, Port harcourt and even Aba are more built up than onitsha. Built up I mean the amount of buildings. Onitsha is small

Onitsha City is small, Onitsha metro is huge. This was how Tokyo was formed and now the largest city in the world. Tokyo was originally a small town. Different Japanese villages grew will time and fused together into the modern Tokyo of today

Workch:
I will never believe that Onitsha is 2nd most built up city until you give me an exact figure of all the buildings in Onitsha and other cities in Nigeria.

I am damn sure that onitsha cannot make top 10. I'm also sure that onitsha does not have more buildings than event Owerri and Enugu. I doubt if Onitsha will event have more buildings than Aba not to talk of port harcourt, Abuja and Kano.

Are you kidding me 😂

I repeat, city is different from urban metropolitan area. Anambra rural area are so clustered and constant erection of edifice by rich individuals have merged the villages into an urban cornubation as attested by Google. The whole cluster is regarded as Onitsha metro

Workch:
Onitsha is not more built than Abuja. You and I know this.
Or even port harcourt.

You should be laughing at those data 😂

Abuja is not big.

Workch:
Onitsha is small.
Even if you combine Onitsha, Obosi, nkpor, Ogidi, places like port harcourt, Abuja, Kano, Kaduna and Ibadan are sill larger and more built than it.

Onitsha has Left those places you are mentioning long ago. Onitsha has capured Awka. Ekulobia and Orlu

plaindealer:
This is the real picture even as usual, you people love to confuse yourselves with data that you can not properly read and comprehend.


In the grand scheme of things, Imo is still at the bottom.

IGR growth is poor and deplorable.

IGR per Capita is lousy

Capital important is abysmal

Revenue growth is nothing to smile about.

Imo has a long way to go and sit at home won't let the state progress economically..

What we showed you is from world bank. You are showing Nigeria local data from quota system products

Workch:
Onitsha, Nkpo, Ogidi and Obosi are not as built up as port harcourt metro. Even if you add Oba and Nnewi to it, Port metro comprising onne, Elele, oyigbo and obio akpo is still more built up than all of them.

Obio akpo alone is larger than Onitsha main city

Do you know more than Google? Onitsha has already captured Orlu

Workch:
we can search Google satellite. Onitsha doesn't have more buildings than kano, Port harcourt and Abuja. Even Ibadan.

I am Igbo but we have to tell ourselves the truth

You are confusing yourself bro

Workch:
Built up means: Number of residential buildings.

Onitsha will not make top 10 on that list

Do you known more than two reputable international organisations already quoted? Even the Google you are talking about show how build up areas spread large around Onitsha. If you use Google Earth it may appear green because it's semi urban with tall trees but buildings scatter underneath in close proximity to each other

Workch:
they are not competent authorities. Who made them reliable, you?
They a body with no relavance. Onitsha cannot be the 2nd most built to city in Nigeria.
Anybody that traveled accross Nigeria know this. Even Chatgpt does not agree with you

Go and research the difference between city and urban metropolitan area. That's where your confusion is coming from. In terms of city, Aba is the largest city in the East followed by Enugu. But urban metroplis is a different thing and Onitsha is the largest in Nigeria by landmass and second largest by population

proeast:


Anytime you're traveling from Onitsha, you will observe that the stretch from Onitsha/Owerri road remains busy with towns almost joining each other all the way to Owerri. Ihiala, Ekwusigo, Uli, Mgbidi, Awo omama etc. Then Owerri. In years to come, they will all combine to form a cornubation just like Tokyo.

Even Onitsha to Awka by old road has no break in urban sprawl. It's the Express that has reasonable empty spaces
