Agbegbaorogboye: I stand on what I said, Ibadan is just a big empty city all the houses in Ibadan will shrink into Onitsha if they build in dense closely croweded together manner that Onitsha build to accommodate 6 million people I repeat there is nothing you won't find in Onitsha both original and none original Onitsha are the biggest importers in Nigeria they import almost everything 3 Likes |

jimyjames: What you said you can stand by but you are standing on shaky ground. Ibadan cannot shrink into Onitsha because Ibadan is the largest city in Sub-Saharan Africa while Onitsha is largely unknown in the larger scheme of things. Most of the goods imported into Onitsha are Chinese low quality and cheap goods. You cannot find an original D&G or Luis Vuitton in Onitsha market. Stop claiming what is not. Onitsha market excels in low quality goods not original desiner wears or jewelries the likes of which you will find in ShopRite. Learn to rest |

Newton85: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. |

Agbegbaorogboye: Onitsha just crippled your Ibadan on a world statistics of the most build up cities and you are still boasting of largest city in West Africa, yes Ibadan is a large empty land mass city that's all Whatever you say about shoprite, it can not survive in Onitsha, the thousands of people that troop into Onitsha on a daily basis from other states most of them have shoprite and other malls in their states, they troop to Onitsha cause Onitsha have what they want according to their pockets . |

Ournolly: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 |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Built-up Urban Areas In 2021 - Demographia by Agbegbaorogboye: 10:37pm On Jun 15, 2021 |
jimyjames: Build up only counts buildings. There are a lot of data that are excluded. It is a very narrow view. If you say shoprite cannot survive in Onitsha it means the people in Onitsha are too poor to afford it not that it has competition from niches. People come to buy cheap and low quality goods from Onitsha not high class expensive goods. They know where to look when they need that |

Agbegbaorogboye: Onitsha is more build up than Ibadan, Ibadan doesn't come close Shoprite can not survive in Onitsha, it's not about people of Onitsha being too poor to afford it, it's about Onitsha people doing business and making profit, shoprite belongs to few, Onitsha market belongs to thousands of traders selling mostly made in aba or Onitsha products and other imported goods, at the end of it all its a win win for people of Onitsha and igboland at large, you in Ibadan are losing and shoprite alone wins 1 Like |

theTranslator: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. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ournolly: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? |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Built-up Urban Areas In 2021 - Demographia by Agbegbaorogboye: 8:18am On Jun 16, 2021 |
jimyjames:Onitsha has less land that's why it's built up. So it's not due to any deliberate aesthetics. It's a forced choice. Meanwhile Ibadan is well laid out with GRAs that are well planned and aesthetically pleasing. Shoprite can and is surviving in Onitsha. You're making it sound as if there's no shoprite at all in Onitsha. There is and it is not closing anytime soon. But Onitsha cannot have more than one because it does not have what it takes economically to support such type of world class investment in their multiples. As you yourself alluded, Onitsha can only support low quality and cheap goods. Shoprite has led to the opening of more malls in Ibadan. Ibadan now has more malls than anyone can count which are owned by the indigenes. So with this, the indigenes learn to compete with the best and are also able to be part of the best. They are not going about competing with 2 by 2 shops.` Hope you can understand that. |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Built-up Urban Areas In 2021 - Demographia by jimyjames(m): 8:29am On Jun 16, 2021 |
Agbegbaorogboye: Onitsha has less land and it's well build up no land wasted, Ibadan has large land, bungalows are scattered everywhere with wasted spaces everywhere, it's like Onitsha building 100 , 4 to 6 storey buildings on one hectare of land and Ibadan building 100 bungalow scattered on 5 hectare of land I repeat it's a win win for Onitsha and a lose for Ibadan, shoprite wins Ibadan people lose, thousands of Onitsha traders win and it's a win win for all 2 Likes |

theTranslator: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 1 Like |

theTranslator:lol Mistake because it does not favour your bloated ego? SW has more landWho 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 7mI can also say there is no way Lagos will be over 15 million.

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.
