Am not a tstv marketer, if u need more info, go to their office, if not stick to what are using. Couldn't care less. I just gave an opinion on what am using and working for me and i am happy with.

Nobody says you're their marketer, she just requested for picture proof as she's doubtful of your opinion.

Check stats
I don't have time
Onitsha has more billionaires than America,Asia combined~ IPOB bureau of statistics

You can now see why I said you sound like a fool though not a fool.
Otaite.

theTranslator:
Ota with less than 400 000 people makes more money than your Onitsha with 6.9 million
SW GDP (without Lagos) is higher than SE

Let that sink in

Yeah, Ota makes more GDP than New York and Beijing added together.
Let it sink.

theTranslator:
Is Onitsha igr up to Ota?
Population density is not a prerequisite for development


I repeat
Give me the two other statistical data from reasonable sources

Nobody will give you Onitsha IGR even Anambra State government is covering it as it will expose how much they got and how little they did with it.
Also, whenever something comes up you lot will start shouting stupid Ogun IGR, this no dey tire una sef?

I don't care about any igr, this thread is about the most built up cities on earth and Onisha happens to be on top list.
Why exactly is this costing you lots sleepless night?

Which stats are you expecting? The bloated and shrinked stats by Nigeria wannabe brown envelope journalists?

Since you said the above list is a mistake I suggest you protest and asked them to replace Onitsha with Ota.

If someone is discussing about Nigeria cities person go dey mention Ota.

It is clear you guys have nothing tangible to say here. Lemme return to the board I have been active on.

SW has more land
Demographia made a mistake
There's no way Onitsha will be 7m
I may be rational but I'm no fool

lol
Mistake because it does not favour your bloated ego?

SW has more land

Who is talking of landmass here? There is no adequate interlinking of Nigerian cities.
Onitsha to Awka for example will cost about 600 (to and fro). Does it make sense to live in Awka and be wasting money on transport if you can find a good affordable apartment in one of those numerous 5 storey buildings in Onitsha?
Monthly transport cost from Awka to Onitsha - 18k
Average monthly rent in Onitsha - 20k.
Let's not even bring Owerri or Enugu to evaluation, you get the point now?

There's no way Onitsha will be 7m

I can also say there is no way Lagos will be over 15 million.

I may be rational but I'm no fool

You are certainly not a fool but permit me to say - you are starting to sound like one.

theTranslator:
I don't have your time
So the population of the city can't spread out right?


Well bring two other statistical data from reasonable sources then I will believe

6.9 million
You think sey na joke
So Anambra state is what?
How come no other Eastern "city" has up to 5?

Remember you are crying on data brought out by a non-sentimental international body? I wonder how you will handle another one!

So Anambra state is what?

Honestly, I don't know but should be around 9 million.

How come no other Eastern "city" has up to 5?

Same reason no South West city is not up to 5 million yet Lagos is more than 15 million, commerce is the biggest attraction in the developing world, both Onitsha and Lagos are filled with markets.

So the population of the city can't spread out right?

As I pointed above, the city's population hardly spread out in developing countries. The reason is simple - lacking adequate transport system to link two cities.
Europe for example has fast rail systems, a very cheap and suitable transport system that can easily link not just cities but countries whereas we lack such in Nigeria. We don't even have a good road network and traffic congestion in booming cities can be irritating. Travelling from Onitsha to Owerri for example can be hetic - you will waste hours in Onitsha - Owerri Road (at Onitsha) alone

theTranslator:
The whole new York state is just 20 million and it has one of the most dense population with a large number of skyscrapers
And has a land mass of 141 000 km2
You are telling me Onitsha with less than 5000km2 has 7 million?
I am not a fool
Even the new York city has just 8 million

This is not a point, you are either ignorant or something is clouding your judgement.

New York City is densely populated not New York State. Even at that New York City is not even among top populated cities on earth.

New York City is less than 800km2 with over 8million population, Onitsha metro is about 2000km2 with about 7million population.
I don't understand why you are comparing the two. Onitsha metro land mass is almost 3x that on New York City and still not up to New York's 8 million population.

There's clearly a case study on city planing in the developed countries. That's makes is easy to manage population to avoid huge density.
This planning is not effective in most Asian countries and rapidly growing African countries like Nigeria.

I have been waiting for you lots that are ranting that Onitsha is not up to 6.9 million to bring something tangible to counter that above stated facts, I want to tackle them one by one.

Newton85:
Yeah, "international statistics" that says Onitsha has more population than Rivers State? Same "international statistics" that says Onitsha billionaires are richer than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos? Yeah, dear IPOB genius.

I don't know the population of Rivers State but cities are been compared here and I am sure Onitsha is much more populated than Port Harcourt.
Unlike your empty wailings here I have lived in both cities and clearly know who is more populated.

I am not supprise how shallow you lots are, bring one topic and you tag IPOB and start ranting.

I have been waiting for you to bring one tangible reasons for disagreeing with the above stats but you have none.

Just empty ranting of a bruised bloated ego.

Oh
So you're saying since you've been in Onitsha
It has 6.9 million people?
Then you're just as stupid as bubu

You are just a loud mouthed empty head that can't reason but to abuse.

Not suprise, your likes are not brought up in a real family home.
Onitsha metro city is about the estimated population. I have no reason to disagree that.
If you have any real reason bring it up let me tackle it here.

Chrisobigwe:
Which do u support now? Housa/ Yoruba cooked up lies that anambra state population is 7 million or The unbiased statistics released by an international intelligence reports? Why don't u travel and confirm things for yourself before coming out to yab? I have been to Ibadan, lagos, port Harcourt and currently reside in Benin city. That Ibadan with it's bungalows is 4 times as large as Onitsha with mostly to 6 stories building, we agree to that, but if we are to convert all the buildings to bungalows, that will give u six times the current land mass of onitsha, telling u that onitsha is more populated? We are not talking about land mass here but on the population density. Nigerian Government may deceive her citizens but international organization will always tell the world the truth

No need to argue with those crying kids, it's just a waste of time.
Ignore them and let them cry to their sleep.

theTranslator:
I don't have to
It's common sense

Common sense to a place you have not been and a reason you won't give, just wailing.
This common sense is far away from this, much like senselessness.

Newton85:
You're right jare my brother. The reason many of us don't also know that there are Onitsha billionaires richer than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos is because we don't travel. Assuming we liked travelling, we'd know that Onitsha's population is 6.9 million, Awka 4.9 million, and Nnewi 2.9 million. infact, Anambra's total population is 16.9 million.

Your tears on this topic is somehow funny.
It amazes me when your like sit on your father's compound to make stupid assumptions.

International statistics placed the estimated population of Onitsha which in all indications is very much on point, be free to cry from now till the next 100 years but it won't delete the fact that Onitsha is more populous than Ibadan.

[quote author=Newton85 post=102754591][/quote]All I see here is baseless point of a punctured emotion.
Anambra is more than 7 million and 6.9 million population for Onitsha seems very much on point!

You lots should start travelling for goodness sake.
I marvels me whenever I see you lots making stupid claims about South East on Nairaland.

oginnite:
That is the problem i have with some of our brothers from the east. They are too abusive. What is the meaning all that you wrote now? Check it very and see if it makes any sense to you..

What I wrote is simple, Onitsha is far more populated than Ibadan.
You may have to go and improve your compression as it seems you are clearly lacking there.

ONITSHA HAS MORE POPULATION THAN IBADAN.

You shouldn't be crying about this simple truth.

oginnite:
I can Tell you for fact that the whole of Ibadan at the moment has more than 5million residence. So what you are telling me is Onitsha is Bigger than Ibadan? If Onitsha alone 7milliom(approximately according to your reference), Then what is the total Population of Anambra State?

Don't just believe everything you see online. We all know for a fact that the 2006 Census was fraud but notwithstanding, this figure for Onitsha is Aggravated.

I don't think this calls for crying but let it sink into your skull, Onitsha is more populated that Ibadan.

You lots should for once travel around to see the fact that the world does not revolve round your father's compound.

theTranslator:
When did population density become a plus?

Chai
IPOB are deranged

And how is Onitsha 6.9 million?
If only Onitsha is 6.9
Then Anambra state will be 25 million
Demographia has taken some real bad weed

Have you been to Onitsha before?

seunmsg:
Before becoming a senator in 1992, Tinubu was the Treasurer of Mobil Nigeria. He joined Mobil while in the USA before he was transferred to Mobil Nigeria.

If the story is actually true and I’m to make a guess, Fayose will be the number one on my list. He was based in Ibadan around that time doing so many shady businesses. Others I can think of are Rauf and Gbenga Daniel.

Treasurer in an oil company?
Are you guys really ok?

Juliusmalema:
Apga will lose this election


It is quite obvious.

Reality on ground has shown that.

Which reality on the ground shows APGA losing the election?

And he couldn't ban Twitter himself as the president of America?

Says a lot of tales of two countries.
Law exists in one and it doesn't exist in another.

A tale of a man (Buhari) who acted rashly as a result of his shattered ego.
That post deleted by Twitter pained Buhari so much.

akdjr:
Na the same thing me and you de talk ooo. I don't support twitter Ban cos I use Twitter a lot. But if his post violate there rulesbof Twitter and they take down his tweet which is their right to do so and now Buhari as the president of Nigeria also decided to Ban them from operating in Nigeria for allowing people to use their platform to promote disunity that can lead to war which is right as a president of a sovereign Nation then na 1:1 quote author=Ournolly post=102491151]

If someone posted messages that is against the Twitter terms of service, Twitter reserves the right to remove such messages.

Buhari's messages was clearly against the Twitter terms of service and was rightly removed.

We are not saying the same thing.
Twitter removes Buhari's post because it violates their terms of service, Buhari's bloated ego was hurt, he went ahead to ban Twitter in Nigeria.

bunto:
Well, do me, I do you, God no vex!

Twitter did their own, FG did their own. Why are Nigerians now crying.

Twitter thought they had monopoly of rules and regulations abi?

First of all, Twitter did not restrict anyone from using their services to express their opinion, they however have an outstanding rules against violence and threats to violence. Facebook do have such rules too.

Buhari made such stupid statement filled with hate and Twitter quickly removed such trash from their platform, Facebook did so too.

If you go to Twitter and threaten violence, Twitter will not hesitate to remove such trash from their platform, they do that to everyone including POTUS.

Buhari is just another confused egomaniac that is trying to protect his shattered ego.

I guess you're just another BMC on 30k stipends so arguing with you is a typical waste of time.

akdjr:
If twitter Ban is an attack on freedom of speech then taking down someone tweet is an attack on what? Freedom to f Yarn abi I guess

If someone posted messages that is against the Twitter terms of service, Twitter reserves the right to remove such messages.

Buhari's messages was clearly against the Twitter terms of service and was rightly removed.

You can protest on PayPal with the proof in place and have your money back.

Price?

Tobsam237:
On this, we can all agree Twitter fvked up... You don't have to like or hate Buhari to know they fvked up BIG TIME... You don't mess with a sitting president.... with 2 years to election... and except no consequences...

They just lost over 3million active subscribers... It will affect their stocks eventually cos it will affect their ads market in Africa...

They lost nada, most twitter users in Nigeria will seek for solution and eventually find vpn of which they can filter any further government embargo.

The only one that goofed here is Buhari and a few of his paid promoters.

GeneralPula:
If Apps can see your mobile network, vpn won’t solve anything..

You clearly do not know how vpn works.
The apps will use mobile network and vpn will work smoothly on it.

babyfaceafrica:
Twitter will beg eventually... They need Nigeria more than Nigeria needs them..

They need Nigeria or Nigerians?

Mynd44:
I don't think they banned the use of Twitter. I think they banned the operations. Meaning twitter won't be able to run adverts and the likes.

I might be wrong though.

Suspending the operation means filtering twitter out of the Nigerian cyberspace, twitter has office in Nigerian and certainly do not intend to.

The only way of stopping their adverts in Nigerian cyberspace is entirely blocking them out.

snoopanddre:
I've experienced that before and it stopped when I began to eat African traditional foods that contains RED OIL example, Egusi soup with swallow, Rice and beans cooked with red oil etc. Avoid fried food that contains ground-nut oil. Be mixing swallow food and non swallow food that contains red oil and after 2 to 3 days, u will see d result and later try and find a permanent cure cos it is a form of Ulcer I THINK. Let me know if it works for u too later.

My point exactly.
The pain in the heart was clearly a heartburn.

List the prices in the open.
