Workch:
onitsha is a small place by landmass, it cannot possibly be the 2nd most built up city in Nigeria. I don't think it's even in top 10.

Even chatGPT don't think so

There is a difference between a city and urban metro. Stop confusing yourself

Workch:
Building cannot count as GDP because GDP is grass domestic product frm a region.

It's a total calculation of the goods and services produced in a state or country minus importation value into state. Building cannot possibly be included in it

Building will count the year they were built

Offpointng:


Ichie if I may ask, Then why do we have lotta you guys flock in droves to the SW if we're so overhyped and an average Yoruba man stays in his region and also make it there. If SW is overhyped, why are your people littered everywhere here??

I think your people have over used this line. This is cheap consolation

Workch:
I think you are cherrypicking a stat that favors you.
There are tonnes of data online that proves otherwise and even a simple Google satellite analysis will show that Onitsha is not as built up as port harcourt and Kano

You are not considering the dense suburbs surrounding Onitsha which appears green on Google. Unlike places like Kano surrounded by empty desert

horsepower102:


This is McKenzie recent projection on Onitsha. I opened a thread about it. Onitsha by 2040 will be at near parity with Lagos in population and size of build up areas.

PH will still be less than 5million while Onitsha will be above 10 million. See the gap

Workch:
I dont think onitsha is second to Lagos in that.

I think Port harcourt, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna are more built up than onitsha. Trust me

What you think is irrelevant. A competent authority has done the ranking. Note, the ranking was based urban metropolitan area not cities. Onitsha is more than twice of PH

mrvitalis:

Bayelsa like akwa ibom is mostly offshore
Rivers has offshore too... Rivers gas is mostly in etche, omuma obigbo, and ndoni areas

Igbo territories

mrvitalis:

Delta, IMO, Anambra Abia and rivers are the gas base in Nigeria this four state holds 90% of Nigerian inland gas reserve

All Igbo states

kettykings:


You are right about the oil and gas growth but see some new insight from Google map and see how a sprawling swathes of city spread is emerging gradually

The future Tokyo of Africa

Good one

Number of applicants per state by state of origin. Which state dey top now? It used to be Imo some years back

femisplash:
SW giving to them what their region failed to give them.

Continue consoling yourself while we overtake with speed

post=124247728:

It located in Anambra not Yoruba land

Finishing. Chai. You be baba joor. You no de allow them breathe at all

Lol, that's the natural spirit of adventure and exploration of the Igbos. When I was serving in SW most of them who were born and studied in SW redeployed from other parts back to SW to serve, if you see how they were being mocked eeh

The most intelligent and richest black ethnic nation is Igbo

HitlerWasRight:


Minorities ?

You mean Trojan horse .

So you now agree that IPOB and their armed wing enjoy widespread support.

So what do you expect from Nigerian govt ?

Look, I want you to get your Biafra and I thank God many prominent people are seeing reason to this.

There is no going back or running from this your Biafra .

Who are you to tell others what they want. This arrogance is the beginning of all conflict. Rivers should return Biafra Apologist communities to SE. The way you sound sef show serious painment

HitlerWasRight:



I read somewhere sometime back that Woke even wanted some Ibo areas in Rivers to be removed from Rivers and lumped back to the SE .


Wike said as long as IPOB had sympathisers among the local Ibo population, IPOB will forever have a foothold in Rivers.

When all attempts to get the leaders of these Ibo communities in Rivers failed, Wike applied the hammer on them and since that day not one single Okoro IPOB bingo dare stray into Rivers.

The idiot you are quoting and replying to has been all over this forum shouting genocide by Nigerian forces on so-called innocent Ibos and even called for Wike's head.

The foolish OP of this thread is blaming the Enugu governor not having control of the military and security forces. Abeg , which power did Wike use to deploy troops to sanitize Oyigbo of its IPOB nuisance ?

Wike crushed minorities in oyigbo is now a big achievement? So how do you expect Mba to crush an overwhelming majority. Why didn't Rivers State crush millitants in those days which was a maistream agitation of Niger Delta? Why didn't millitants attack any pipeline in Abia and Imo those days. Did Abia and Imo not flush out millitants easily while it flourish deeper in Niger Delta? Are herdsmen not easily flushed out in the east while they have a field day in north central?? Use your brain to analyze peculiarities of regional challenges

jmoore:
The government of Enugu state threatened schools, traders, banks that they will be shutdown if they obey the 1 week sit at home.

Simon Ekpa disciples were seen brutalizing residents, students, traders who went out this week in few locations.

A poorly funded 11th grade terrorist group of Simon Ekpa was having a field day while state government and Federal government with billions of naira, police and army at their disposal were idle as these foolish deranged terrorists were brutalizing school kids.


When I said this issue is beyond threatening people to DISOBEY sit at home, some people thought I was supporting the sit at home. I was only concerned about the lives of innocent people that will be used to play games by both the inept government that can't protect them and the foolish terrorists.


Now that this scenario has played in our own eyes, will you blame any resident that chooses to sit at home in order to be safe?

You told people to come out, they came out and you can't protect them. Is that not stupidity?

I think the schools, markets that were targeted should sue Mba and the Enugu state government for trying to lead them into a suicide mission.

This is not about Mba and Ekpa. We the people rejected Ekpa 7 days sit at home long ago and also rejected Mbah's order to end Monday sit at home. Markets and schools are open today in Enugu state, infact they reopened yesterday after the enforcers fled. The masses have decided, Mba and Ekpa are powerless. We the masses have all the power to decide everything

helinues:


What I think is the real problem is, the mentality of everyone is a king, hahah, there can never be decorum.

Even in animal kingdom like Lions and Hyenas, there are law and orders, rules to be followed.

Issue affecting the whole region, Ohaneze would be saying A, Massob will be saying B, SE political leaders will be saying C, you see the Ipob, those one na W straight.

How then can you resolve the issue affecting your own region when there is no decorum?

How the masses arrive at consensus decision will remain a mystery to non Igbos. The people defied gun men and rejected 7day sit at home. But they insist on Monday sit at home against governors threat. This is the situation in Enugu state. The masses have spoken and so shall it be

helinues:
What I am yet to understand about this sit at home is how someone from one state, will be telling other states in his region to abide by his law.

Like who made him the spokesman for the Igbo's?

You will never understand anything about the Igbos

Bestmanfornow:
The 7 days sit at home since it was declared doesn't exist in anywhere in Anambra state

Even Enugu that was disturbed yesterday moved on after few hours. Everywhere is back to normal today. No sit at home

This is what happens when a Southerner thinks he doesn't need other Southerners to become president

Exactly what Obi has been saying.

FreeStuffsNG:
It is obvious you do not know Seplat. I am done with you sir

Igbos own Seplat, with their foreign partners
Other Igbo oil and gas company include
Nestoil
Britannia U
Capital oil
Master Energy
Pinnacle oil and gas
Etc

okpo by ur insunation even Abuja will be bigger than Lagos. by the way. you're just a retard

Now compare Anambra (Onitsha) and Lagos Urban area, you can see that Onitsha has larger urban area by landmass, you can see that it stretched all the way to Nnewi and Ekulobia because the villages there a closely packed together

okeysoninv:
okpo by ur insunation even Abuja will be bigger than Lagos. by the way. you're just a retard

Look at map of FCT, see how empty it is. The urban area is at the corner near Nassarawa boarder
Now compare with Anambra, see how the urban areas fill up the state

okeysoninv:
is like calling the whole Enugu north senatorial zone into Nsukka. is not done like that. Nsukka local government is the main nsukka.

This is Nsukka urban area. Most part of Nsukka local government are not within this Nsukka urban area. For example, Orba Nsukka is in Udenu LGA. Enugu ezike is Igboeze North LGA. Places like Okpuje, Okutu that are in Nsukka LGA are outside the Nsukka urban metro. Even Nsukka main town itself is at the edge. Stop arguing blindly like a Bushman

okeysoninv:
okpo by ur insunation even Abuja will be bigger than Lagos. by the way. you're just a retard

I hope this will cure your ignorance. This is Google map for Enugu state. You can see the extent of Nsukka urban area from Opi to kogi boarder. You can also see that it's larger than Enugu urban area by far. You can also see that there are no other recognized urban area in nkanu, Udi, awgu, Oji River

Very good. Urchins and political UGM will be shot at sight

CoronaVirusRelo:
😀😀😀

Another mushroom endorsement!

Still waiting for South-East Governors to endorse Peter

Peter Obi is not a regional candidate like Thiefnubuu. Neither does governors endorsement bring votes from SE and SS. Obiano endorsed Buhari, how many votes did the endorsements yield in the state?

smokinloud:

Even Adeleke who is the latest governor would brag of such road!.
Why are you like this now?.
Igbos are one of the smartest people in Nigeria but you dey fall my hand

Abeg go sleep
