Ibadan city is a small fraction of Ibadan let's get that clear

Onitsha is not a city but a metropolis comprise of many cities... According to record Onitsha metropolitan area is the second largest built up area in nigeria after Lagos... And set to overtake Lagos in few years

In fact the whole Asaba, Onitsha down to orlu and owerri are growing into one mega metropolis

Now that's said

Ibadan is a better around city... It's a formal regional capital, and state capital for over 70 years now .. Plus Ibadan houses many federal infrastructure and state infrastructure

Onitsha ... Onitsha is the largest none capital city in Nigeria many would argue and say Aba

After Lagos, Onitsha has the largest number of story buildings in Nigeria. Onitsha is what you call a concrete jungle.

Emmanuel900:
ONITSHA That is not even up to a local government area in Ibadan and who told you guys that stories buildings are sign of development? The same stories buildings you built with no access to water and there is a reason why you guys build stories building, it is to manage your limited land you can't compare it to other places with abundant lands even Lagos have a lot of stories building for the same reason as the smallest state in Nigeria.

gidgiddy:
Who told you size means development? Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria, is any state as developed as Lagos? If Ibadan likes, let it be larger than South America, it dies not have the number of story buildings Onitsha has

Emmanuel900:
Unless you are as smart as an AI Your opinion is insignificant, fact and data says otherwise.

There is no AI you will ask that will put Onitsha or even any south east city over Ibadan, ask ChatGPT, Grok, Deepseek or any AI, AI don't deal on emotions like you guys.

gidgiddy:
That's good m, because if Ibadan was not that way, the South West would have had nothing to show for all their claim to sophistication

Emmanuel900:
You are just yearning rubbish

Ibadan City is also Ibadan and Onitsha city is also Onitsha.

Now let's compare Enugu to Ibadan according to ChatGPT

Omoawoke:
If we combine the entire Onitsha, Aba, and Enugu together… them no reach Ibadan..
You guys should just face the fact and stop giving yourself headache, Yorubas are ahead of you and it’s obvious. Stop dragging and just move on to other things. You can’t be better than everybody, people whey go pass you go pass you

Ibadan was capital of the old Western Region since the 50's. It then became capital of Oyo State


Onitsha has never been capital of anywhere

Only God knows how backwards Ibadan would have been had it never been capital of anywhere like Onitsha

gidgiddy:

Everything is not to be bragging with Ibadan that was capital of the Western Region since the 50's, and now Capital of Oyo

Aba and Onitsha have never been capital of anywhere
