What is the water strategy in Onitsha

The transport Strategy


The Waste management Strategy

Why would anyone take his family to such a filthy place?

There's no single planned city in the south east or west (aside cities in Lagos) unless you're judging by the standard of 1950s grin.
If you want to know what a 21st century city looks like, check out photos of Randburg, Sandton, Cape Town (all in South Africa), Victoria Island (Lagos), Maitama, Wuse, Wuye (Abuja) and get back to me.
If you claim that Lagos is a planned city, then you do not know what planning is...in the least!

Only eediots go around posting stupid photos

City life is about

santation
Security
Health
Transport

Not photos

Only an idiot thinks that you can capture one ciity in one photo

I will not indulge your childishness. There are good and ugly photos of every city in Nigeria.

Proves nothing

Onitsha remains the dirtiest place on earth
I am surprised that in this 2021, some supposedly educated Nigerian Youths still believe that you can compare development of cities by posting pictures of the cities especially obviously biased and selectively chosen pictures.

Don't turn my thread into ethnic violence and tension I was simply trying to find a Nigerian solution to Nigerian problems and currently the city planning in Onitsha is best for Nigerian cities of today
Can you elaborate why you think Onitsha city planning model is the best and should be copied?

1) How many people is Onitsha designed for?

2) What is the method for provision of water for the residents of Onitsha?

3) What's the method of sewage and domestic waste disposal in Onitsha?

4) How many police posts per area in Onitsha?

5) What's the percentage of undeveloped green belt in Onitsha?
6) How many kilometers of tarred roads are in Onitsha?

What transport do most Nigerian cities have apart from FG

What security do most Nigerian cities have tbh?

What sanitation do Nigerian cities have when there's no running water?

Onitsha's high rises are a good model for Nigerian cities that is an indisputed fact you can't accept that so you're looking for reasons to discredit it/ Why? I fail to understand
You probably assume that Tall buildings (3-4 storey buildings) is the only thing about planned cities.



In reality, many Nigerian cities are planned but the implementation of these plans became difficult due to Leadership failures.

I never said shit about planning I said highrises should be built in more Nigerian cities instead of these bungalows or small compounds for one family because Nigeria has an acute housing problem

Why?

Why are high rises a good thiing

Especially the "Onitsha type" Does it have any thing special about its design or just BECAUSE it is a high rise

What is the water plan?
What is the sanitation/sewage plan for high rise buildings in Onitsha?
What is the safety of those buildings what do they cook with? Gas? If so is this in cylinders or via pipeline? How safe is it in terms of Fire risk
What is the fire and general safety record of these buildings?
What is the social infrastructure plan e.g. provision for leisure/sports and social interaction

Are they a good idea in the North where the temperatures are high and there is generally plenty of land?

You just wake up overdose yourself on akpu and prescribe Onitsha style high rise for everybody

Is Onitsha a fun or enjoyable place to live?

Nigeria does not have an acute housing problem. It is a chronic problem. The problem is essentially one of uncontrolled urbanization and the solution is rural development not Onitsha style high rise buildings.
How affordable are those Onitsha style high rise apartments as a means of solving a housing problem?

Very foolish pictures

In terms of size It might surprise you to know that Ibadan in terms of Size (3080 sq. km) is about 60 times the size of Onitsha at 52 sq. km) and more than half the size of the whole of Anambra (4800 sq. km)
Ibadan is almost the same size as Lagos State.
There is no basis for comparing it to a tiny village

Size does not equal development but t matters for comparison

If the comparison is to have any meaning

e.g Onitsha has a population density of 5000/ sq km compared to Ibadan with 470/sq Km

This makes Onitsha a very crowded space

Size matters when you compare because by size Onitsha is not much bigger than a village.
Its transport needs etc are very different and the point I was making is a simple one accessible to intelligent minds

If you are comparing Ibadan that is 60 X the size of Onitsha by means of photograph

Then you would need 60 photographs of Ibadan for every 1 of Onitsha


Onitsha is too small for any logical comparison
Re: Onitsha A Model For Nigerian Cities by RIVERS1stson: 2:16pm On Sep 02, 2021
I am from Rivers state but truth must be told, Onitsha is like Dallas compare to Ibadan.

Onitsha is one of the best cities in Nigeria after Lagos and PH. Onitsha is the most prominent frontline city in south east and south south after PH.

Ibadan is a slum built with mud houses, more of the houses in Ibadan doesn't have toilets and running water, this is opposite of Onitsha that has decent homes, running water, toilet water systems, etc

1. Ibadan

2. Onitsha

you didn't answer my question!! Does a city size determine how modernize it lookshuh From pictures posted here, can you say onitsha looks more developed because of It's sizehuh If it's by size, Lagos should look More beautiful and modernize than London because Lagos city has a huge landmass. .. .. stale comparison here!

Go back and read your question
And read the first statement of my response
You answer the question
Do photos equal development
The point is Ibadan is 60 times the size of Onitsha so if you want to do photo comparison would will need
60 photographs of Ibadan for every one of Onitsha

That is simple logic

I don't give a fuvk about the size okay... Ibadan can occupy the whole of Africa, that shouldn't be a reason for it not to look like onitsha regardless of size!! Being a big city doesn't matter!! The onitsha you refer as small doesn't even end only on two LGas (onitsha north and South) the city is built up, extending to different LGAs... .. you can use your Google...

In order to determine what Onitsha looks like or that it looks better than Ibadan as you are surmising the point is we will need more that ONE PHOTOGRAPH
A lot more

And size comes into it because we would need 60 times the number of photographs for Ibadan
I do not have time for the photograph stunts but from the photos I have seen nothing has convinced me to withdraw the prize of the dirtiest place on earth from Onitsha and Aba which are both tied for first prize
