Ibadan has no countryside. SE have well development and sprawling countryside towns. We have been trying to educate you people but you refused to learn. International organizations have decided but you are here disgracing yourself

I'm from southeast, I cannot add Oba, Abagana, akwuzu and Aguleri as part of Onitsha. You and I know they re not part of Onitsha. There's no amount of cry. The best I can do is at ogidi, it's still debatable

Workch:
Google map workers are experts as well 😁

Even Google map is clear. Onitsha urban sprawl is largest in Nigeria

That's by you, the data says otherwise.
Things can't always go your way

No, An Aguleri or Abagana person knows that he's not part of onitsha. We cannot twist facts to make you happy

If things are always my way your attempt to "balance things" is nonesense. Facts are sacrosanct even if one person have his way 100%

Oba, Abagana and Nnewi cannot be added to Onitsha. They are standalone towns. An Nnewi or Oba man is not an Onitsha person.

An Awkuzu man no be onitsha man.

You have mental issues. Your feelings are irrelevant. Urban sprawl does not respect your personal feelings

You are an idiot. No one is talking about metro here.
We are talking about cities.
If it's about metro, I would hve added Mbaise to owerri and Epe/ikorodu/ Badagry to Lagos... You can cry all you want, I won't add Abagana, Oba and Awkuzu to Onitsha

So why did you add Obosi and nkpor? Are they Onitsha people. Stop disgracing yourself

Ogene001:
Do why did you add Obosi and nkpor? Are they Onitsha people. Stop disgracing yourself

Because there's no clear boundary. Like thick bushes or so.
This also applies to Lagos, there's a clear boundary like Bushes and swamp between Main Lagos and Ikorodu, else I would hve added Ikorodu to Lagos

Workch:
No I'm not, but Google map cannot lie.
Because the satellite sees everything. Sorry to bust your bubbles

Sorry to bust your bubbles and put an end to this impression you have. That said you sound needlessly rude.

Google map although being a satellite imagery software isn't the satellite mapping used professionally for geographical and urban purposes. QGIS and ArcGIS is a much professional tool compared to Google Maps.

I'm a qualified professional urban planner and I have worked in Ministry of Environment in Ibadan North LGA.

There no how you will map ibadan to be 3080km square.
Unless you will be adding vast land full of forests.

From gooel map, you will clearly see thr urban areas inside of Ibadan and then calculate the area

mrvitalis:
Your biased for Onitsha was just too obvious sha... It obviously everyone can clearly see the whole Onitsha metropolitan area and you covered 30% of it max

Almost everywhere from Onitsha to Owerri, Orlu, Nnewi and Awka is built up so it will be difficult for him to draw a line. Imo and Anambra are basically built up like Lagos.

What's your definition of the following terms:
1. Urban area
2. Built up area?

Also, are you erroneously mixing up Oyo state Ibadan?

kingreign:
What's your definition of the following terms:
1. Urban area
2. Built up area?

Yes, cluster of buld up area that is not separated by large natural boundary like forest, large river or big lake. Ibadan city urban cannot reach 3080km square going by that definition.

It's clear to see on tha map. Don't argue

Workch:
I asked Google map and it says so.

When did you do your measurement?

Google is not living in the Southeast and only gives you what Gabbage it was fed.

It was only Southeast tribal politics that stopped the creation of Aba State when East Central State was divided by Gen Gowon in 1976 alongside old Imo (Imo, Abia and Ebonyi) and Anambra States (Enugu and new Anambra).

Aba is like Lagos State where every Yoruba thinks he/she has a stake hence it is a melting pot of Igbo tribes and clans. At present, Aba Urban comprises 5 LGAs and at large is a total of 9 LGAs. (Old Aba District under the British colonial rule).

I remember in 1979 when we schooled in Aba what the city represents even after the war.

If you like be minister of housing, Ibadan urban from the map is not up to 3080km.

Maybe, combining the forests in other parts of the smaller local government can mke it that size. Let's do argue thr obvious.

If we are going by your definitions, do you think thay Kano city will not be larger, you want us to add forests and deserts?

Going by your difinition, Onitsha will be way larger than Ibadan. Because I will have to include Ekwulobia to Onitsha

Going by your definition,
lake Ontario stops Ontario from being an urban area, the Thames River stops London from being an Urban area. The Hudson River stops New York from being an Urban area.

Interestingly, you're very wrong!

No need arguing over what's completely wrong.

Actually Google lives everywhere. It's a satellite.
Go read up on satellites and then come back when you grasp the basics

You know nothing about Urban Planning, Land Survey, Environmental Management so no need arguing blindly with you.


Arguing with you is like a cobbler arguing with a Medical doctor about how to perform a Biopsy procedure

Coming from an African expert who does not understand how basic maps like Google works 😁

Ibadan is the largest city in west Africa by landmass

Ibadan is not a city.
Still gat a long way to go to achieve that.

Built up areas are different by definition from Urban areas.

An Urban area may be so called due to administrative, spatial, physical (infrastructural), population or economic reasons.

A built up area is so called because of the level physical of development (physical ans infrastructural).


Know this and know peace.

Did the satellite designate boundaries and expansions? This is why most of you fail practical exams and why Indians and Lebanese are imported to the country to take up jobs that Nigerians fail to learn how they are done. It is the same Google that thinks Aba Metropolis is only Aba North and Aba South alone

Aba is larger than the area you mapped out because you excluded the less densely populated areas even though they have population centers not linked directly like Obingwa and parts of Isialangwa like Abala, Mgboko and Omoba. Even on the west the urban area crossed deep into Omuma LGA in Rivers State. Why Owerri is difficult to determine is because most non-Owerri towns in Imo State are even more populated than Owerri and it continues till you get to Awka and Onitsha. If considered one city it will be the largest city in Nigeria by far

Lol, unfortunately, you're the one who's very wrong and you're ignorant about it.

I've been using Satellite imageries to map out areas of study or interest for over a decade professionally. That should tell you something.

From the map, if you actually knew how to read maps, the whole of Ibadan urban area were marked, it's still not up to 1000km square. You are becoming laughable.

Ibadan Urban is less than 800km square. Go bck to geography class and get basics on map reading abd the definition of urban settlement. You illiterate.

And urban setting is usually a built up area. It's basic
