The Yoruba are our Brothers, Oni of Ife said it and even before that, Oliver De Coque used it to sing in Igbo in the 1980s.

However, Yoruba muslim want to kill all of us.

Yeah they dont like Oduduwa, instead they prefer to tell a story where ADAMU was the first Yoruba man. You know they always want to connect everything to Islam. Chineke pls help Africa!

You cannot hide pregnancy with your hands.

Nigeria is trying to pretend Onitsha isn’t its second biggest city while foreigners doing independent studies always come back to the same conclusion.

Explain why all the independent organizations are saying that Onitsha is the second largest city?

Have you been to both cities?

Do you require external research to confirm what is in your backyard?

Yes you need external research to confirm whats in your backyard, because when something is in our backyard we tend to be biased. This is why people try to have independent researchers, investigators or judges.

No time for story.

I remember back in either 2010 or 2011 when an article by some French scientist who used satellite to study the population density of Nigeria. They concluded that the vast majority of the north is empty and that the official population census it absolutely false.

I trust foreigners when it comes to studies about Nigeria.

Yes man I've been to both.. Bro I'm done arguing with you. Multiple independent organizations have come out and said Onitsha is the second largest metro. Why would a French, Asian or International organization lie?

I think for the next census we should let the UN conduct the census because obviously we cant be trusted to do it ourselves.

We need a third party to conduct the census.

We should honestly let UN conduct both our elections and census. Everything in Nigeria is laced with tribalism.

Stop arguing stupidly, it is a foolish man that would rely on external endorsement and confirmation of what he can verify by himself.

I'm done replying to you too.

After Lagos, then Kano followed by Ibadan. Those are the cities worth mentioning in Nigeria

Imagine having someone like him as the head of NBS. This is the nonsense we are suffering in Nigeria. No sense of integrity or respect for actual data.

3 major things are used to arrive at the city

1. The density
2. Numbers of institutions
3. Cultural advancement

Onitsha can only boast of number one on the list but lacks in the other two.

How many 5-star hotels are in Onitsha that other cities don't have?

Ibadan beats Onitsha in several institutions

What about cultural advancement. How does the culture of Onitsha promote tourism and the influx of people? How many non- Igbo are residing in Onitsha?

Be typing nonesense yoruba gibberish. Stay in your mud house and be fooling yourself and looking for northern co travellers for validation

You continue to sound like and idiot. You don't know what urban metropolitan area is all about. For your mind it's Ok for Ikorodu to be Lagos but you don't know that same way Nnewi is Onitsha in this context? If Ikeja is Lagos urban metro don't you know that Awka is also part of Onitsha urban metro? If parts of Ogun is counted for Lagos metro don't you know that parts of Delta and Imo also counts for Onitsha?
They ranked urban areas you are talking about cities, Don't you know the difference?
Do you think Lagos is one city? Onitsha city can be compared to Ikoyi not Lagos as a whole which is a combination of many cities
See Google maps for the two metropolitan areas
