Guy you folk are blinded by emotion and illiteracy
You are very poorly educated and lack self awareness or insight

Miss whose point?
This data is from the United Nations ?
What is the point the UN is making?

First of all that data is old 2014

Secondly Fastest growing simply refers to population growth
What is commendable about making babies
In Niger their women on average make 7 babes is that commendable?
Zinder the fastest growing in that series is in Niger

You are now introducing random emotive nonsense like self made city? Is there any city that was made by aliens ? What is the definition of self made and how is it relevant.

Fastest growing is a matter of fact According to the data virtually all the cities on that list are in Africa . Why? We are making too many babies

Refer to my previous response to your hate-fuelled rant!

So if they ask you what drove Nnewis’ population growth in relation to its base year (percentage growth in comparison with previous years figures), you’d declare Nnewi peeps were breeding like rabbits to get to the 7th position!?

I know you can do better than this! What’s blinding you is your hatred and dick measuring disposition towards Igbos’!

Factors that spur growth in population include:
*Economic attraction (industry, commerce, tourism, etc);
*High birth rate (this was the one you were referring to);
*Political reasons (eg, the siting of a country/states capital, political considerations in siting of economic enablers like Ajaokuta steel and seaports);
*Religious/cultural;
*etc.

aribisala0:
You are sure you can read and comprehend English??

Pray, what feeds population growth!? I take it i’m discussing with a graduate....one able to analyse reports!?

aribisala0:
The key thing to note with population is fastest growing is a percentage.

The smaller a city is the faster its growth .

A new born baby will grow faster in percentage terms that a 2 year old

It is easier to move from 50000 to 100000 than from 5 million to 10 million

The same applies to economies and that is why African economies at some point grew faster than more advanced ones

Having said all that population growth is just a tiny part of the story

Let us focus on Zinder in Niger which was reported as the Fastest growing city in the world.

What is great about Zinder?

You miss the point!

For a self-made city to be the 7th fastest growing in the world (in percentage terms), it’s a feat that should be commended and not rubbished!

aribisala0:
If there are 50000 or more people it is a city

the rate of population growth is what this is about

NOTHING MORE
One OMATA illiterate found this and thinks it is something to boast about

You sure the ‘growth’ they’re talking of is just about population growth?

Ttalk:
Why did the OP singleout Nnewi when we have Lokoja growing faster than any city in Nigeria.

Cheat no dey pain you guys for chestbeating?

Always looking for a ‘negative’ to point out....that’s when the report can’t be struck off as FAKE NEWS!

The OP is interested in Nnewi....a self-made city built solely and driven by its own wealthy sons and daughters!

If the Lokoja peeps even knew of this report and are proud of their position on the table, let them open up a thread for it themselves! Or you expect the OP or anyone else to blow their trumpet for them!?

Bastardlyrich:
That's the ijaws for you.
Always breaking ground with new things.
We are the fought largest tribe after the yorubas,which are third.
We are the richest and bravest blacks.
Infact God has so blessed ijaws.
I'm so happy

I stand to be corrected, but aren’t the Fubaras’ from Ogoni?

Chikeluba25:
As Soludo Inauguration draws near; Innoson rollout a new G80 SUV. Remember that Soludo said Innoson will be his official car.

Anambra is the only autonomous (Self propelled state) in Nigeria.

The Governor-elect should ask INNOSON to customise his official vehicle to be bulletproof! INNOSON can sub-contract the job to one of those coys in the US that customise vehicles....that’s if he doesn’t already have the capacity to do so.

investnow2013:
Nnewi in Anambra State has been ranked the 7th fastest growing city in the world.

This ranking was done by the World Economic Forum, this came from the revision of the last ranking which was done by the United Nations World Urbanization Prospects in 2014.



This ranking saw the appearance of 3 other Nigerian cities in ranking namely; Lokoja Kogi State coming 3rd, Uyo Akwa Ibom State and Abuja coming 9th and 10th respectively.

This ranking is coming as a result of heavy influx of both heavy business investments and also human Population.

Can we have the link to the report?

Anytime Northerners are killed in the North, its herdsmen and bandits..

Anytime Northerners are killed in the middle belt, its herdsmen and bandits..

Anytime Northerners are killed in the southwest, its herdsmen and bandits..

But when such happens in the East, its Igbos..

Hehehehehe

anselem87:
is hope uzodinma building any seaport in oguta? I hope isn't my own oguta because so far as oguta is concern there's nothing like seaport from oguta to osemoto, maybe I'm no longer in this world

A river port maybe, but a seaport in Oguta is a bit of a stretch! Not that it’s not possible....just that, in this present day Nigeria, it ain’t! Besides, where will a cash-strapped federal gov’t find the money for said partnership when it’s struggling to fulfil its other obligations?

InTheCloudySky:
When you adopt a child, you're to love + accept him/her as your own child. They become YOUR child. If you later bear a biological child, your adopted child remains your first child, while your biological child will be your second.

Unfortunately, many Africans....not just Nigerians, lack the understanding and empathy to reason like this! They seem to think adopting a child is the same thing with fostering one!

ebufa:
you are on your own............tinubu is a couple of levels higher than that "charge and bail lawyer" that OBJ picked from nowhere! a complete misfit! under his purview, Nigeria signed a loan for 4 new international airport terminals....and Enugu was not included( the new terminal in enugu is being built from ministry funds)....SGF was igbo and aviation minister was igbo too....talk about being clueless.....Anyim is a complete buffoon!

The mind boggles, walahi!

Showcasing Civic-Centre....yet another highbrow estate in Owerri. It seems with every subsequent one shown, the houses get more palatial and exquisite and, as usual, the state of the inner roads ruin the entire experinece. The vlogger commented on how she doesn't get that wow factor one should have when in such an exclusive estate filled with eye-catching architecture, and i put that down to the lacklustre effort in constructing the inner roads. Obviously this estate must have been approved and plots handed out during the Rochas admin'. He tried in opening up new areas in Owerri, but failed woefully in instituting high standards in estate development for these newly opened areas.

You could be forgiven for thinking you were in Bel Air, California, had these structures been built in a well serviced estate that first ensured the provision of a network of inner roads with underground/covered drainage, sidewalks and trees; street lights; underground cabling for electricity and communications; and reticulated piping for water supply, before building on the plots commenced. Any new estates being built henceforth should have minimun standards enforced by the relevant state ministry.

Barth Nnaji one of great Persons I have tremendous respect for

Saw his interview on AriseTV few days ago....the gentleman just oozed calmness, class and intelligence! I doubt if i’d have remained that calm when talking of the blatant injustice done to Geometric electricity coy by the last administration! Imagine bundling in his already ring-fenced and duly acquired Aba electricity generation and distribution network into the agreement signed with that Emeka Offors’ EEDC!

Now Aba can reach for the skies!

LeoDeKing:
Ipob pigs are comedians and I'm always attracted to their comedy especially on nairaland. They can always discuss their matters on their own forum and of course I won't be there, but on nairaland, it is a comedy to me. Now fvck off.

Apparently, the same IPOB ‘pigs’ control your entire sad online existence without even trying! All it takes to draw you outta the sewer is for a thread to appear with a heading that contains Mazi Kanu, IPOB or Biafra.....now if that’s not the sign of a deeply troubled and obsessed individual, then i don’t know what is!

Everyone’s attracted to a bit of comedy every now and again, but when you let it take over almost your entire existence on the forum, then that should give you cause for worry. By banging on and on....the same tired old line of ‘Igbo entering young-shall-grow to Lagos’, you exhibit symptoms similar to those of person wey don craze finish!

Dude, for as long as Ndigbo/Biafra are trapped in this Godforsaken country....for so long shall we continue to post on nairaland! If e pain you, you either try ignoring what’s got fckall to do with you, or you go get a strong rope and do the needful! There are posters and topics that either don’t concern me or don’t prick my interest...i just ignore them or -on the odd occasion- read a few lines and move on! You should try that too....that’s if this isn’t all about your fear that the realisation of Biafra would leave your pathetic ass with no one to leech off of!

LeoDeKing:

Stale lines.

Nobody is begging you to remain. Infact, it is you that preferred to remain.

As I type, one obinna is inside young shall grow motors heading to Kaduna where he will join Kelechi in search of apprenticeship.

The only stale thing around here is your stank breath! The way anything Biafra, Mazi Kanu or IPOB attracts your pathetic, insecure self should give you cause for worry!

Marble Arch Hotel, Okpuno, Awka

I bet the owner of this hotel either lived or worked around Marble Arch in London, hence the attachment to the name!

Eastlink:
And Dangote did not corner your blood and sweat through over inflated sugar, flour and cement prices? See him big head. How much are you buying bread, sugar and cement in your area. If you are looking for a role model, think of guys like Abdul Samad, Elumelu etc not Dangote (Government Plc). While Allen is touching lives despite how the money came, na that one you rush tackle praising Dangote the ripper.

Just thank God that BUA is changing the narrative by not joining Dangote and Flour Mills to increase Sugar & Flour prices as both company planned doing this February else na hunger go nack you this year.

Was going to like your post, but noticed you didn’t challenge the Igbo-hating ape on his accusation that the accomplished and entrepreneurial Allen Onyema ‘stole’ amnesty money!

These bigots have this firm jaundiced and prejudiced belief that the Igbo they ‘conquered......reduced to the status of 3rd class citizens.....shrunk their territory while removing their access to the sea......and removed hydrocarbon rich Igbo territories to be placed in Rivers for the Ijaw to help them oversee’.....they have the belief that no one can recover from all that amount of wickedness, hence any Igbo rising up to be the market leader in a specific sector....such a Igbo must either be a ‘winch’ or otherwise would have had to dip their hands in the public till, like a lot of their gov’t/hegemony-enabled wealthy have done!

A Igbo man will come from far away Anambra to ‘steal’ amnesty money meant for the Ijaws, and said Ijaws will not talk!? Abegi!

Few months ago, a forensic audit report on expenses in the NDDC was handed in by the Akpabio led Niger Delta ministry! They felt it was needed owing to allegations of massive ‘kwarruption’ in the agency. No mention was made of Allen Onyemas’ hand being caught in the cookie jar! These envious and bitter Igbo-haters have made all sorts of allegations against this noble and kind gentleman in the hope that at least one of them would gain traction and stick! But God pass them!

Goodmarlian:
Arewa can never retaliate for fear of division,them fear am pass death..

Meanwhile order the army out of the southeast if you want peace,let Esn be.

Hell would first freeze over and pigs fly before they allow the bolded happen! They view ESN (formed by Mazi Kanu, need i remind everyone ) as a direct challenge and affront by the ‘nyamurees’ on the ‘ruling’ Fulani hegemony! Their thinking would be, ‘let this slide now and who knows what else they’ll come up with’!

The Chief Press Secretary to Abia State Governor posted this on his Facebook page https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=7745045635512942&id=100000227466919

Preliminary investigations show that youths in the community actually risked their lives to go and help people at the cattle market after the attack.

Anybody still desperately trying to blame Igbos for this is acting a script

True!

Another possibility is that the attack on northerners in Abia by outsiders could be an attempt at trying to paint Igbos’ as anti-north in the eyes of the northern electorate....all about 2023! Don’t underestimate the capacity for power-hungry, anti-Igbo forces to go to any lengths to deny Igbos’ presidency!

NOETHNICITY:
I'm not a northerner but I think they have suffered victimization enough in the hands of the easterners. Those who are familiar with the invents before the civil war will tell you how northerners repeatedly faced similar brutality before retaliation started against Ibos in the north

Ipob have been killing northerners in the east but nobody is crying on their behalf now
Nobody should come crying to armnesty int when the North begins to retaliate

Could you flesh out the bolded assertion of yours? When did Igbos’ brutalise northerners in the 50s and 60s to justify the ‘retaliation’ by northerners....that started in the 50s?

thesicilian:
The likes of Umeonyirioha, Okonjo-Iweala, Nwankwo, Okocha, Chimamanda and co who who have chosen to do something good with their lives and make NIGERIA proud, we will always celebrate and support.

But those ones who have chosen to become the proverbial prodigal sons and sons of anarchy, like Invictus, Kanu, Evans and co, we will also help facilitate their downfall

Go fck yourself!

ba7man:
Most major step the so called ingenious tribe has taken resulted in near destruction of the nation and hardship that has transcended generations.

(1) Azikiwe abolished regions and eliminated the secession clause from our constitution.

(2) Ironsi introduced coup into the mindset of the millitary which set the nation back for decades.

(3) Ojukwu dragged the nation into a civil war.

(4) Importation which they excel in is actually the biggest killer of manufacturing and the economy in Nigeria, thus weakening our currency.

If say na better tins dem dey import, e for better. Fakest and lowest quality of everything down to fake pharmaceutical drugs for sick and dying people (Collect their money, even if it means killing the sick)........ well, at least they deal in the best quality hard drugs.

You Igbo-haters are vile revisionists!

How did Zik 'abolish the regions and eliminate the secession clause from the constitution'? What kind of power are you attributing to Zik who was in effect just one part out of three...1/3? You infer that Zik didn't want the regions, so he unilaterally 'abolished' them while the other two out of three....2/3, who you infer wanted the regions, were sitting down looking at him while he was doing the 'abolishing'! And in which constitution was the secession clause that Zik removed? Also, as i stated earlier, when 1/3 was doing the 'removing' what were 2/3 doing.....looking on like lucozade?

So Ironsi carried out the 1966 coup, according to your revisionist self?

How TF can you sit on your bigoted ass and declare, even with the benefit of hindsight and history, that Ikemba 'started the uncivil' war? This shows you're nothing but a lying sack of shit and up to no good! You conveniently forget all the pogrom that went on for weeks in the north! Even after Ikemba told Easterners Dodan Barracks had assured him an end would be put to all the bloodletting, hence they should return to or remain in the north, you still make it sound like he was just itching for war? It was AFTER the gov't of Nigeria couldn't carry out its primary responsibility of protecting lives and properties of ALL Nigerians'.....and after agreements reached in Aburi, Ghana were reneged on, that Ikemba got the backing of ethnicities in the then Eastern Region to declare secession! Or did you expect us to carry on being sitting ducks for your depraved and bloodthirsty kinsmen that were out on an orgy of violence against eastern CIVILIANS in the north?

You see how two-faced and deceptive you are....now blaming the weakening of your useless naira not on clueless Buhari and his voodoo economcs, but on Ndigbo! Nigeria that had a thriving middle-class and was on an upward socio-economic trajectory, had everything nosedive like a plane in free-fall, with the coming of the bigot-in-chief, yet you wanna blame Igbos for his incompetence? Why don't you go and set up the factory that will mkae the importers to stop importing from abroad? You actually think there are more medium and small scale industries in the shithole state you come from than what can be found in say Anambra or Abia?

Fcking bigoted asshole!

OreMI22:
Lol....
Only the incurable optimist does not see the yeye play they are using this port to toy with people's emotions. Expect this port to function under the current regime at your hilarious heart break and total disappointment.

.....and even if they grudgingly give it some semblance of 'activity', it'll be a few months to the next general elections in 2023...just so Buhari/APC can use that to try and show how they 'love Igbos and have been fair, just, and equitable towards us'!

They're milking this the same way they're milking the 2nd Niger bridge which they recommenced suspended work on few months to the 2019 elections. Don't be surprised if they try to rename the Onitsha river port as Muhammadu Buhari river port (MBRP), Onitsha just to piss us off!

Jobless women.

God bless Justice Binta Nyako in advance. Cause I know She convict Nnamdi Kanu for life imprisonment.

Shameless cretin! You’re still parading yourself as a ‘short Igbo man’!? God forbid that a day would come when i’d stop being a proud Igbo!

egunna:
But u were asked to quit d north on October 1st 2017 na,why didn't u quit?

Asked by whom exactly....a bunch of red-eyed overgrown almajiri!? The one we left in 1967, we all saw how you lot reacted!

In any case, try placing the horse before the cart for a change! You can’t tell me to leave your north (which i’d be only too happy to do by the way), and yet you’re still gorging yourself fat on my oyel and gas! You must think you’re dealing with kids mate!

adamsmith914:
Go to Cameroon, that is where you will find modern day Biafra.

Stop wasting your short life chasing an illusion to be pursued but never attained, Odumegwu Ojukwu is a perfect deceased analogy.

Dude, Biafra is a firm belief whose time has come!

Look who’s talking of others ‘wasting their short life chasing an illusion’! You that stands up every day to parrot...’one nation bound in freedom, peace and unity’, what weed-fuelled illusion could be greater than that one!?

Am i crazy that i’d want to share the same country with a hateful, vindictive, bloodthirsty and bigoted towel-head!? Dude, you and i have no business sharing the same country as not only are our value systems markedly different, but you also hate me passionately and DO NOT see me as your equal based on my ethnicity and religion! The sooner you realise this is the sooner you’d be able to let go!

missionary schools saving education since 20bc

True! And the Nigerian State has tried to destroy that unique formula that made them successful by doing what they do best....unifying everything under state control! As we speak, the ones in Kwara are fighting tooth and nail to keep their values, traditions and some level of independence!

How did your kidnapping lawless government brought him here? Extraordinary rendition is an international crime - You cannot benefit from a crime. In the face of the law he is still in Kenya ;Nigeria have no jurisdiction to charge him for anything,until they prove to the court how they got him; A lawless ;kidnapping and terrorists government; Yall breaking international laws because yall are lawless;The US government want Abakiari extradited,they have to use the legal system first ;you dont kidnap someone ;thats a crime and benefit from committing a crime.
