You see Ibadan people build bungalows still all we see in Ibadan is mostly House's built in the 50s with few GRAs

The entire Onitsha is crowded with 4-6 storey building all over,divide each of those 4-6 storey buildings into the bungalows built in Ibadan you will discover there are more buildings in Onitsha than Ibadan by far

You are talking of shoprite, shoprite will not survive the competition in Onitsha, Onitsha is the biggest market in West Africa, there is nothing shoprite has that Onitsha traders don't have, that's why you won't see such malls in Onitsha

London has 18th century architecture. I guess Onitsha is better than London.
Onitsha is less than a fifth of the size of Ibadan so I don't see how all the buildings in Ibadan will fit into Onitsha except you have a plan I don't know of.

Really? ShopRite has its own niche and local markets and malls do not fall into such niche. So, no way ShopRite is competing with 2by2 shops selling substandard goods in Onitsha main market. That's pure fallacy

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.
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.

Lol, oga go and sit down with your psychosis jare. The population of the entire Rivers State is estimated at 5.1 million as at 2021, yet Onitsha is 6.9 million? Onitsha has more population than River State as a whole? You're very drunk and delusional, go to bed.

They suffer from mass psychosis. They make things up out of their delusional asses and believe these things passionately. Personality delusion disorder is genetically inherent in them. They just can't help it.

My friend rivers state has no population at all igbos from South East make up a good percentage in river's state, recently governor wike said they announced job vacancy for 5 thousand people, 30 thousand of those that applied were not from river's state, river's state is just a state with minority tribes, ebonyi is more populated than river's state if we go by true statistics


Onitsha has always been the most populous city in eastern Region, since in the 50s till date

My friend place the bungalows in Ibadan on top of each other to form 4 to 6 storey each, it will fit into Onitsha and a lot of land with be left empty, take the 4 to 6 storey buildings in Onitsha turn each floor to bungalows it will cover the entire Ibadan plus the empty lands in Ibadan


I repeat there is no way shoprite will survive in Onitsha market there is nothing shoprite sells that you won't find in Onitsha even cheaper than the one in shoprite, most costumers who buy things at shoprite are consumers, people who buy things from Onitsha are traders buying to resale.

You have no facts to back up your claim. Just your wishful thinking. If you add UI and UCH together, I'm sure the land area will be bigger than Onitsha. I doubt there's any building in Onitsha taller than the admin block tower in UI or the UCH main complex which is about 14 floors all these without mentioning the first skyscraper in Nigeria called Cocoa House in Dugbe Ibadan. So you see, you know next to nothing about Ibadan just your own wishful thinking.

I have educated you about ShopRite already. It's market niche is not same with that of the Onitsha traders who excel in low quality and cheap goods.
You can show me a boutique that sells original designer wears in Onitsha main market. What you inadvertently saying is that people in Onitsha are too poor to afford quality, high-end goods and prefer the low quality that Onitsha main market offers. It's just like saying people in Ibadan will abandon ShopRite for Aleshinloye or Gbagi markets. They are different niches and people in Ibadan know when and how to patronize both,

How many bridges built by the FG across the mainland in Lagos without much drama?
Here, for 6 years running, the only thing Buhari and his cohorts keep shouting about is the second Niger bridge.... After 6 years!
If you think folks are greedy, Why are they building structures in the west after the second mainland bridge?

They think they can fool everybody at once. If time is not taken they might use that bridge for 2023 campaign .

I don't have to keep going in cycles with you, add the bungalows in Ibadan on top of each other to form 4 to 6 storey each, it will fit into Onitsha with plenty land left

Onitsha market is not only for people of Onitsha people come from far and wide to buy cheap things in Onitsha to go sell to make profit, Onitsha people are not bothered about wearing designers they are more concerned about selling designers, there is nothing shoprite has that you won't find in Onitsha market they sell both original and not original ones

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?

Show me a 10, 14 and 25 storey building in Onitsha and then we can start having a conversation about what can fit into what.

I already told you Onitsha main market and ShopRite don't have the same niche. You just alluded to what I've been saying about the cheap and low quality of Onitsha goods. At least you can believe yourself if you have a problem believing me.

I have been to both cities
Remove unilorin from ilorin
I see nothing there,

Maybe they were only talking about ABA (not including the metropolitan area, like Ariaria, osisioma, obingwa and ugwunagbor which are actually more populated than Aba city itself)

Cos by all standard ABA as a City is has a population far above 1.6 million

Lol. Just one or two in Ibadan and none in Onitsha. The whole of Onitsha is just one LG out of the 11 LGs that make up Ibadan. Yet you somehow believe that the 11 LGs have only one or two skyscrapers. I've mentioned 3 buildings with mpore than 10 storeys already. There's also Agbowo shopping complex with 7 storeys too. Same with Premier hotel with 10 storeys. MJ glass house with 7 etc. Like I said you don't know Ibadan which is why you claim ALL the buildings in Ibadan are bungalows. I can bet Oluyole LG has more high rise buildings than the whole of Onitsha. But will you agree? Go and rest. You're ignorant.

Lol. So you can find original D&G wears in Onitsha market? Not Dozie and Goddy o
