Abagworo:
you must be a comedian of the highest order.aba proper hangs around 500,000 to 600,000.the total population of the urban areas including osisioma,obingwa and ugwunagbo may sum it up to a little above 1 million.lagos itself maybe around 10 to 12 million.we need to stop population inflation and face reality.

When was your own official census? You have non, so where are you getting you're own information? Lagos has more than 15 million people already, and anyone who has been there knows this. Are you aware the official census says there are 3 million people in Kano city?

odiaero:
that is nice of them, by the time i becomes the world richest, i [size=15pt]hope[/size] i will be able to do thesame

Change we can believe in? Or you'll just keep the change?

The only way you will know is to ask, next time when you see bingo ask him when he saw Nigeria's image.

What's a 'woemn'?

paris10:
I might be wrong, but I doubt it! Kinda noticed that the Yoruba language is the most spoken language in Nigeria and abroad besides English lang.

You are wrong. And the UK government hasn't even added Gujarati to their syllabuses, let alone Yoruba.

bee444:
@paris10, I've always known that there's a link between being overly-protective and overly-caring individual and witchcraft.

Not saying your cousin's mum is a witch o, just making a point!

WOW!

odiaero:
But come to think of it, what is the bizness between police and inspecting roads

Nigeria = Head + Brick wall

asha 80:
Mehn that city or town must really be choked .

Is it not Aba that looks like Hiroshima after a few days of recovering from the Atom bomb?

. . . . the scheduled Third Mainland Bridge scare. . . .

[quote author=Aloy_Emeka link=topic=485429.msg6511679#msg6511679 date=1280942360]Is Dennis osadebe igbo?. I though he was Urhobo?[/quote]One of the most revered Igbo musicians is called Osadebe. . . . from Anambra State. . .

asha 80:
In that small area  

How big is Singapore? In fact how big is Manhattan?

chosen04:
So after all the greetings and business contacts, we will still allow ourselves to be subjected to all kinds of ''man made'' marginalisations and harmful govt policies? **********Shakes Head**********

It's a slow process, unless you want another war?

Mobinga:
Nigerian Billionaires Pledge Love and Moral Support to Charity.

If even, Nigerian billionaires donate funds into their accounts from charity is more like it.

Aba alone probably has 5 million people while Lagos may already have 25 million people, I won't be surprised if Nigeria has already reached 300 million.

Uhm, some people don't know what population maintenance is. Nations worrying about their rate of growth are not concerned with doubling their growth, but maintaining their population. Japan seriously does not want to double its population with the little bit of plain lands it has. Really? Are you serious?

Save it in his bank account?

In Nigerian slums, people get roasted alive for stealing maagi, so it is actually hell on earth. Please let us not compare.

Anyway. . . .  this whole thing doesn't send out a good message for the whole 'One Nigeria' thing, somebody will toil their whole lives for a whole people, and this is what they get? You people can have that.

seanet02:
IN TOTAL RUINS DUE TO HIS PEOPLES LACK OF EDUCATION WHICH HE FAILS TO GIVE THEM WHEN HE HAS THE CHANCE. Lol

At least have some respect to someone who freed you from being a British man's house boy.

So people were seriously calling the mausoleum for the [size=15pt]FIRST PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA[/size] an [size=15pt]IGBO RESPONSIBILITY?[/size]

Abagworo:
hebrews are hated by other whites for that same reason.

Hebrews are not white. Not then, not now.

makajibbz:
we're d hardest, most determined people on earth, if only our goverment's different.
there's no place in d world u wnt find a nigerian.

If Nigerians were the most determined then their government wouldn't be the way it is.

No city will grow with its boundaries carved in stone. The cities need to be plastic, and have a tendency to expand.
For example, the administrative office of Atlanta is located downtown, but the metropolis extends from Villa Rica(W) to Lithonia(E), and from Unioncity(S) to as far north as Liliburn.
There is no way of enforcing the so-called urban boundries council without shortchanging somebody along the way. Are you going to forcefully expand Onitsha beyond Mkpor, and force Obosi to become Onitsha? All these places can equally develop under Onitsha metropolis and yet retain their own local identities. We can learn from older and bigger cities around the World.
Already, Asaba and Onitsha have almost merged, because many people working in Onitsha live in Asaba, and vis versa. Rivers don't usually stop a city from expanding.

No, the city limits have to be set otherwise you'll create a mess. Most cities in the Western world have a clear boundary of where the city ends and where the country starts. Nobody said the neighbouring cities should be short changed, they ARE going to be short changed with the way the city is growing now, so to lessen the impact, an official city boundary, for where a city starts and ends, should be mapped out like in the case of the United Kingdom. People are coming to Onitsha, so it is Onitsha that will expand over the other towns if proper care is not taken. Asaba is more of a secondary city in the shadow of Onitsha, rather than a merged one, the Niger bridge is currently not enough to merge them because it doesn't land on Asaba immediately.

naijaking1:
Most cities naturally grow outwards, just name them- Atlanta, Chicago, NYC, Philadelphia, etc. So, with good planning, we can expect Onitsha to expand west across the river to Asaba, east to as far as Awka, and then north and south. If only the federal and state governments would be market oriented, the city has potentials.

I'm talking about setting official boundaries and enforcing it through the urban boundaries council. This way there won't be chaos through the mixture of villages, cultural regions and environmental damage. I don't think Asaba and Onitsha will join over the mile wide Niger river, and I don't think it should, cities west of Onitsha will be joined, but it needs to be planned.
