even at that onitsha north and south l.g.a is more than that number,main market population alone exceeds 200,000 people talkless of when combined with that of ochanga market and so many other markets in the city,plus those densely populated hoods in upper iweka,awada,nkpor e.t.c,how can the population of onitsha be around 500k in 2002 and still the same in 2015,it's not possible.

Nkpor and Awada (Obosi) are not part of Onitsha NOrth/south LGA. they are idemili LGA and not part of that census figure, thats what the poster of figure does not know

we are igbos, we believe in equality. Nobody is majority and nobody is minority. Biafra will be totally different from the zoo calling its citizens minorities

Abagworo:
I thought you wrote earlier that it was bigger than all cities in Southeast but your post shows Aba is bigger. The truth is that Onitsha is even more populated than Aba if not for typical Igbo politics. Aba comprises of 5 LGAs just like Onitsha but the difference is that outskirts of Onitsha claim not to be part of the city. Add Obosi, Nkpor, Nkwelle Ezunaka and Ogbaru to get the real population of Onitsha urban area which is close to 1.6 million.

Ya. Onitsha and its environs is the most populous part of SE just that the sorrounding merger towns try to retain their identity even though visitors see everwhere simply as Onitsha. Aba is the largest in the east in terms of land mass as it has enough space to expand without merging with neighbouring towns like Onitsha

gwales:
guy I think you need to learn how settlement are classified because like I said earlier settlement are distinguish more importantly by the population living at a particular place at the right time. Settlement cam be isolated dwelling, Hamlet, small village, large village, small town, large town, city, megalopolis and finally cornubation. So place like Zaria with its huge population more than a million people easily qualified as a city.
You make mention technology and business not knowing that all settlement have different functions. Like I said earlier, a settlement can function as religious (Makkah, Jerusalem) educational (Zaria, oxford) , administrative (Zaria, abuja) industrial (lagos) tourism (Rome, paris). If all these places can function well what makes you think that all this criteria is not an Avenue of business?
You also make mention of billionaires in nnewi, hmmmmm. When did having billionaires become a criteria?
You can make your points why anambra should be third on the list but claiming that onitcha and nnewi are cities while Zaria is not is laughable. You can notice through out my posts that I never claim to knowing anambra for the single reason that I have little or no knowledge of the place but I won't accept your assertion about Zaria. Zaria qualify to be a city with it's population and functions (educational & administrative).
Thanks.

Igbos live in autonomous communities and had no cetralized city like most other nigerians. The modern Igbo cities is a product of rapid urbanization of individual autonomouus comunities to form a sprawl or cornubation, i gave an example of Onitsha, Same applies to awka, goverment house awka is situated at Amawbia which is a separted town but part of greater Awka, NTA Awka is situated at Enugu-Agidi which is an entirely separted town but part of the awka urban sprawl. most of the industries Nnewi is known for are situated in Ozubulu, another different town but part of greater Nnewi, plus other towns like Itchi, Oraifite etc which have no definit boundary with Nnewi town. during census, these towns are captured as independent towns so dont use the census figure to judge

High BP

Lol, stop writing rubbish. The govornors are products of the zoo system. IPOB already have and organized chain of command

Ya, the protest has been very successful and a big surprise to the nay sayers, i think the governor made sense. Let political and legal moves continue from where the protest stopped b4 it will be infiltrated and highjacked. This is how responsible govt issue statment not the blabbing from Rivers govt

Lol, they want to put the country in financial mess the way they put their states

Oluwoleism again

all i can say is that half bread is better than..............

Rubbish, we asked for referandum, u only speak for urself. We were not also consulted before the almagamation

Lol, attention seeker

donphilopus:












Y'all are spewing gibberish. Hadn't been Dasuki was a Southerner, I know the sh1t you lot would have spewed. You would have been accusing Buhari of being sentimental. I'm glad you lots are confused since the said person is his brother from the North.

U obviously do not know the history of buhari and the Dansuki's. Secondly, those who issued the statement are Northerners.

Having babies out of wedlock is not frowned at, in the SW, thats why

We warned Nigerians about Buhari's dictatorial tendencies, they refused to listen. Now tell me the difference b/w what these ppl are saying and what IPOB is saying?? both say the same thing, Buahri should obey the courts

disloman:
You are the one that is confused.Hatred and sentiment had blocked. Your sense of reasoning.TSA is still the best thing to happened.It is here to stay.This FG is different from the previous ones.

U are the one who sycophancy has blocked his reasoning. I see no hatred in what he said, its obvious there is confusion somewhere as he stated

Saurab:
Zaria has times 2 of onitsha population.

Rank City State Population
1 Lagos Lagos State 13,400,000[2]
2 Kano Kano State 3,626,068
3 Abuja FCT 3,000,000
4 Ibadan Oyo State 2,550,593
5 Kaduna Kaduna State 1,652,844

15 Oyo Oyo State 620,400
16 Abeokuta Ogun State 529,700
17 Onitsha Anambra State 509,500

Onitsha ppl managed to get a little piece of land across the niger, the development of Onitsha has since exploded into neighboring Local govts, for example Nkpor, nkwelle Ezunaka, Obosi, Ogidi, Odekpe, Oba etc are all parts of mordern day Onitsha despite not being in Onitsha Nort/south LGA which ur data is based on. Each of these towns have more population than the main onitsha which is just a tiny piece of land

I dont understand them, do they want division or not??

hahahaha, NICE thread

Truckpusher:
You are a mad man, you lying bunch of scumbags and emotinally battered men.

Kill yourselves and we remain resolute to everything we are saying and let me make it very clear - If the Igbo man continues his expansionist agenda then In can assure you that another genocide is eminent.

You all have totally lost it and I spit on you, and I spit on your phantom Biafra - Whatever you got bring it on ..........mad men....Trust me ,the hatred is now mutual........

Lol, u are too irrelevant to be hated.

Truckpusher:
On your Momma's puccy doing what your bastard imbeciilic father couldn't do right.

Your momma is saying hi! to you.......

u cn do beta dan this

TonyeBacanista wont like this news.

voltron:
Some people hate finding out the truth even if it will save their lives.. how much of that money truly went into developing Anambra State..

We continue to delude ourselves praising criminals and praying to God for restoration -- we deserve our conditions for keeping quiet and not taking action

d debts were not actually borowed money but numerous last munite contrats awarded by Obi which Obiano continued, most of them nw nearing completion

princdebola201:
Take heart My brother I know it's painful

same ppl jumping around here will still come 2mrw to tell u dat Igbo killed Ahmadu Bello. Confusion everywhere

seunmsg:
APC propaganda right? Ooooh, Obiano is in APGA, no APC to blame this time around.

Instead of calling out Obi who obviously has taken you people for a ride, you lots will sleep on NL abusing Osun and other south western states.

Gradually, we are getting a true picture of your debt ridden states. Lies and deceit can only go for a while, one day, truth will definitely catch up with it. I will be looking forward to more revelations in the days ahead.

stop consoling ur self Mr man. Anambra is nt owing civil servants and did nt take bailout and dats d situation on ground. What Obiano is trying to say is not dat d state is owing dat amount now, he is battling with Obi on who will be the messiah that made Anambra one of d least indebted states.

Oil shud go down to N5 per barrel

Lol, yorubas shud check statistics and stop consoling themself with Obi vs Obiano political fight. Obiano's aid made a claim and Obi's aid debunked d claim but u chose d side dat relieve u of ur heart attack due financial mess in ur states instead of consulting appropriate source to kw who is ryt

aresa:
The story is always true when comes to other people but never when it comes to you ibo losers...

so political fyt b/w Obiano and obi is more credible source than DMO or NBS where anambra is among d least indebted states?

Dis informal business network has remain a mistery to others. Dey can keep talking rubish but we must keep expanding this network
