we can search Google satellite. Onitsha doesn't have more buildings than kano, Port harcourt and Abuja. Even Ibadan.

I am Igbo but we have to tell ourselves the truth
You are confusing yourself bro

For some reason, economic data that comes out of Nigeria is always questionable.

The people who collect and analyse this data should always tell us the methodology adopted and how far they covered.

This is why I like Mr. Atedo Peterside. He comes on TV to explain and defend every election data NOI releases. Government agencies that generate and release official data need to learn from that man.

Onitsha, Nkpo, Ogidi and Obosi are not as built up as port harcourt metro. Even if you add Oba and Nnewi to it, Port metro comprising onne, Elele, oyigbo and obio akpo is still more built up than all of them.

Obio akpo alone is larger than Onitsha main city
Do you know more than Google? Onitsha has already captured Orlu

I dont think onitsha is second to Lagos in that.

I think Port harcourt, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna are more built up than onitsha. Trust me
Which Ibadan?? U have not been to Onitsha

I will never believe that Onitsha is 2nd most built up city until you give me an exact figure of all the buildings in Onitsha and other cities in Nigeria.

I am damn sure that onitsha cannot make top 10. I'm also sure that onitsha does not have more buildings than event Owerri and Enugu. I doubt if Onitsha will event have more buildings than Aba not to talk of port harcourt, Abuja and Kano.

Are you kidding me 😂

This is the real picture even as usual, you people love to confuse yourselves with data that you can not properly read and comprehend.


In the grand scheme of things, Imo is still at the bottom.

IGR growth is poor and deplorable.

IGR per Capita is lousy

Capital important is abysmal
You're the one confusing yourself out of desperation. IGR per capita is rubbish. Capital importation doesn't mean anything in real terms.

A state can chose to tax citizens to stupor like you guys do in SW. Even pure water sellers are taxed! Another state can decide not to tax citizens and help them to have more disposable money.

We are talking about GDP which is a globally recognized yardstick while you're talking about IGR.

Na wa o.

Revenue growth is nothing to smile about.

Imo has a long way to go and sit at home won't let the state progress economically..

Onitsha is small.
Even if you combine Onitsha, Obosi, nkpor, Ogidi, places like port harcourt, Abuja, Kano, Kaduna and Ibadan are sill larger and more built than it.
Onitsha has Left those places you are mentioning long ago. Onitsha has capured Awka. Ekulobia and Orlu

I have lived in Onitsha for 6 months. I lived at Niger Avenue, Fegge.

I have at least spent on week Abuja, Aba, owerri, Ibandan, Ilorin, Uyo, Calabar and Benin.

I served in port Harcourt and lived in Enugu for 4 years.

Enugu, Owerri, Benin, Ibadan, Abuja, Port harcourt and even Aba are more built up than onitsha. Built up I mean the amount of buildings. Onitsha is small

World Bank is not a Nigerian institution hence the word estimate at the bottom of the report, it's not factual, it's just an estimation.

Going by the same world Bank, Imo is not growing economically.

Everything we do in life and economically is all about growth, it's the reason why we get education, to work and get promotion, to make profit and prosper, but Imo is not growing economically.

Onitsha City is small, Onitsha metro is huge. This was how Tokyo was formed and now the largest city in the world. Tokyo was originally a small town. Different Japanese villages grew will time and fused together into the modern Tokyo of today

The newest data shows that Lagos, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Imo state and Delta states are the biggest economies in Nigeria by GDP.

Followed by Anambra, Ondo and ogun state.

The reason why Imo and anambra state are having drastic growth in GDP compared to other states is because of the growing natural Gas exploitation that is going on in these states. Especially, Imo state.

In another 20 Years, we expect that Imo state will become 2nd position with the huge investment that is being made in natural gas in the state.

see look the map.
From head bridge to Ogidi (this part of Ogidi is not even onitsha per se) is still a shorter than than osisioma to Asa umunka in Aba. That distance withing Aba is still twice from headbridge onitsha to Ogidi.

Onitsha is small. It cannot be the 2md most built up by number of houses.

So if I make one million this year and one million next year, while you make 50k this year and 100k next year then you are better than me? Learn how to interpret data. Meanwhile that's local data from incompetent quota system products. The world Bank is more reliable

See a new corridor is forming in the eastern delta flank, Delta -Anambra- Imo . I am hoping Abia and Edo will somehow join this new economic corridor.

Truth is that there seems to a continuous flow of services , money , transactions.


So even with the sit at home 2 eastern blocks met the first 10 states.

I doff my heart for igbos
