Elementary School is a PhD holder
That means she can’t find a nice paying job dat why she have to settle for less and depending in the area she’s living because I have met a PhD holder who is a trailer driver in Colorado when I asked her why she told me many employer can’t employ her because they are afraid to hire her or to pay her

Not true that she can't find a job. I just clicked on the link and it says something like she has a PhD in elementary education. So she is in the right job for her. From there she could easily become the head of the entire city or county school system.

FSU:
Emeka Dimkpa (5th Grader aka Primary 5)
1. Awarded ''A Honor Roll'' (meaning he scored all As in his subject)
2. Awarded ''Top 5 Student'' (this means when all A scores are averaged he was among the top 5 best in the school). Unfortunately in America they don't award first, second and third positions as we do in Nigeria. So, it is unclear who of the 5 best was first, second or third. But this boy has consistently beaten his class mates in exams

Congrats Young man. Harvard material loading

FSU:
You are so inferior and recalcitrant. You could not tie my shoe lace outside Nairaland. Speaking about not being wanted as you spew your senseless crap again, I hope these photos choke you. Do you know what the photos mean in terms of my not being wanted?

Loser! Buhari apologist. When you prefer to be led by a certificateless person, how would you appreciate where a PhD holder is an elementary school principal?

You are intimidating these Ogbomosho chipmunks with your US passport. They think Igbo immigrants in the US are illegal like their Ijebu Ode brothers.

bump

Osibanjo is a dagbo dagbo oluwole (fake) professor. How can you be a professor without a PhD even though you have achieved nothing else worthwhile in life? It was about his Tinubu's connection that he was made a UniLag professor. The man is a proper Ewedu and amala professor

hisexcellency34:
Ode Reno..do you think Buhari cares about whether anyone abuses him or not

You are a ZOMBIFIED Zombie

Well written, and flawless delivery. This election and its outcome will dig up a lot in Nigeria.

Lagos niyen

Na soo?
Didn't know APC Fulani women bear male names.

MartinCorridon:
Obi Chukwuhunsu is an Igbo name.

Try another line. Then change the Wise101 to Dumb101

You are the fuccccking dumbo here. See below

Hunsu, however, claimed that the hearts were given to him by one Abiodun, who had earlier consulted him for money ritual.

The man is a fake professor. Yoruba nepotism led him to become a professor even without a PhD.

CilicMarin:
Buhari will be having Rally in Kano that same day...No time for Bullshit..

Vote your ipob party, while we vote APC..

You are a DESPICABLE MAGGOT.

APC says you have to provide your own electricity. Hahaha!

Remember what religious people call prayer point? This one is voting point. Please keep it in mind when you vote next year.

Racoon:
Humn! A dangerous problem is on ground if the wife of a president can say this.Nigeria need to heed the call. Meanwhile Buhari have always been a failure.



Guess "....Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews........
For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"-(Esther 4:13-14)..Mrs Osinbajo fear God.

Evil Mrs Osibanjo will do anything to get Buhari back to Aso Rock. She is simply positioning herself for the First Lady position in 2023. By God's grace APC will be defeated, if not in 2019, then 2023.

IamAtikulate:
Don't cry for Ndi Igbo, we can take care of ourselves. There are more three storey residential buildings privately owned (not company's) in just Onitsha than the entire Lagos. What you will see in Lagos are mostly 1 stories and bungalows.

Who are Ndigbo? You can't be more Igbo than me. Go ask my history on this forum.

NIGHTMARE0O7:
Now u agree it's good news..
Why are u selling from both sides of ur mouth

Ode! Good news overall for Africa. Bad news for Onitsha. You must not be a smart person.

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.

Don't mind him.

Overall good news: The vast majority of towns and cities in Africa are still relatively small: 97 percent of them have fewer than 300,000 inhabitants.

afroniger:
I can show you big data about most populated Nigerians/African cities, released by Euromonitor, that starkly contradict this report bro.

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??

vanbonattel:
Where is my Ibadan?

Oh, my bad, I forgot they said largest cities and not largest slums

Actually, Onitsha is now a slum. This is not good news

afroniger:
How did they arrive at that figure or estimate? On what basis/or criteria? Nigeroa hasn't had a census in over a decade.

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?

afroniger:
Even at that, it still can't be true. Onitsha proper has a very small landmass and population. The last census attests to that. And even with the addition of the so-called neighboring cities, nothing suggests what is being peddled in that report. No way Onitsha can be larger than Abuja, Kano, Ibadan, or PH, be it in landmass or population. No concrete data supports that. This report's conclusions are baseless.

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

98 million Nigerians live in cities.

afroniger:
Lol. Onitsha?? On what basis? Very uninformed analysis if true. Where would that leave Kano,
Ibadan, Aba, PH??

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. Read the last statement in the post (post 2).

This is not good news for Onitsha. With its relatively small landmass, it's not gonna be long before another, even worse, example of ''Lagos madness'' comes to Anambra.

New database released to better assess African cities
27th November 2018 Jonathan Andrews


The new database is the first to provide a standardised and comparable measure of urbanisation


The most complete data set on African urban agglomerations has been launched during the 8th Africities Conference in Marrakesh.

Africapolis includes data on more than 7,500 urban agglomerations in 50 countries and aims to become a tool for governments, policy makers, researchers and urban planners.

The Sahel and West Africa Club–part of the OECD–and e-geopolis used satellite imagery and official census data to make Africapolis the first database to provide a standardised and comparable measure of urbanisation. It is also the first time the data for the 50 countries covered are available for the same base year–2015.

“There wasn’t any complete database on cities and urbanisation in Africa,” Philipp Heinrigs, Senior Economist, OECD, told Cities Today. “Africapolis is a geospatial database that helps [city leaders] better understand their territory, what are the dynamics, where is the emergence happening, and what are the processes that lead to urbanisation.”

The platform allows users to browse, download and reuse more than 200,000 data points, including data on population numbers and densities, geo-location of urban agglomerations, built-up areas and average distances between urban agglomerations ranging back to 1950. In addition to the raw data, users can also use the embedded data visualisation tools, including maps and charts, to explore and compare urbanisation dynamics within and between countries.

Heinrigs explained that most existing databases have a much higher threshold of integrating agglomerations.

“The UN measures cities as above 300,000 inhabitants but 97 percent of all urban agglomerations in Africa have less than 300,000 inhabitants,” he said. “[Africapolis] provides a more complete picture of urbanisation and agglomerations in Africa, in particular small towns and intermediary cities.”

He added that the new database can help city leaders in forward planning and to better understand urban dynamics, and the collaboration and synergies between cities.

The data has also revealed that urbanisation and the emergence of large agglomerations are not necessarily the result of a rural exodus. The urban agglomeration of Onitsha in Nigeria officially has a population of 1.1 million but Africapolis estimates that in reality the urban agglomeration spreads over an area 80 times larger than the city itself with a population of 8.5 million.

An update will be provided in 2020 with new census data, improved methodology and tools.

Key insights from the data
•The five biggest cities in Africa are Cairo, Lagos, Onitsha (Nigeria), Johannesburg and Kinshasa.
•Of the 50 cities with the biggest urban sprawls, 20 are in Nigeria and Kenya. Nigeria also has the biggest urban population in Africa at 98 million.
•The fastest rate of urbanisation has been in Rwanda, where the share of people living in towns or cities rose from 5 percent in 1990 to 56 percent in 2015.
•Of the 50 urban areas with the highest density in terms of inhabitants per square kilometre, 45 are in Egypt.
•Kinshasa is the African capital with the highest population density–16,900 inhabitants per km². Dakar is second with 15,000 inhabitants per km².
•The vast majority of towns and cities in Africa are still relatively small: 97 percent of them have fewer than 300,000 inhabitants.
•In Namibia, the average distance between towns and cities is 134 kilometres, the highest in Africa.

75% of students in SW Universities are Igbos. Ngbatis stopped going to school after Awolowo free education stopped.

WAEC and JAMB application and admission records are evidence to this truth.

CXLVII:
Work took me to an African country and even a foreigner attested to it that Nigerian westerners come into their country as expertraites. That some other tribe come in for trade.

Told him education in that part is close to mandatory.

Keep lying through your anus. 75% of the students in SW are Igbos. You have the university building, while we have the university human resource
