Like this area of Nkpor, people actually refer here as Onitsha but is not, Nkpor has her population same with Obosi, Odakpu, Ogidi, Nkwere, Nsugbe etc, they are not included in Onitsha population figure

They excluded those sub towns
aba also have subtowns like asa, owom, obehie even up to some towns in isialangwa south. Do you know the signpost for welcome to aba is in isiala ngaw south, just after owerrinta junction? Please it's not only Onitsha that has subtowns.

If you also look at Enugu, abakpa is as big and densely populated as fegge, Enugu also have subtowns like ibagwa, eke, emene, amechi etc which are also quite densely populated. None of this subtowns were included in the estimation.

Guy I know those areas you mentioned, we are talking of structures and population, Anambra is most populated state in the east almost doubled the population of Abia, OK post pictures of those areas let compare with Onitsha sub towns


Below Onitsha

Onitsha sub towns are different LGAs Idemil, Oyi, Ogbaru LGA, but the ones you mentioned still the same LGAs with Aba and Enugu, just like Awka sub towns Amawbia, Okpuno, Umuokpu etc, but they are all referred as Awka

Well according to estimated population and 2006 census, Onitsha is the third most populated city after Enugu and aba in the east. At least we should work with that for now.
You lied

This is the figures here

IN ACORDINGLY FIGURES AND FACTS

1•Population (Aba) City 1,277,300


2•Population (Owerri) City 751,873 (estimated)







3•Population (Enugu) City 722,664 Disputed (estimated)

Below Onitsha
nkpor has an estimate population of 109,377, ogidi has 70,000 and obosi has 140, 000. Even if you add this to the estimated population of Onitsha(511,000), it doesn't still equal the estimated population of only aba (1.3 million) without the subtowns. Aba is like 30/40% the population of abia. Onitsha has a metropolitan (that's plus subtowns) population of 1003, 000 while aba's population is 1,277, 300.

We aren't fighting but I wan t us to be apt in our assumptions, anambra may be more populated than abia but I don't think Onitsha is more populated than aba.

Even the UN population statistics in 1991 estimated aba to be 501k and Onitsha 350k.

Its wrong for us to disseminate wrong information that lack fact just to suit our ego. Our assumptions cannot be more factual than UN figures.

seems you don't know that part of abia, ASA is in ukwa west local government and isiala ngwa is a different local government entirely, osisioma local government is also different. The mean local governments in aba is aba north and aba south but civilization has integrated osisioma LGA. Even the famous ariaria market is not in aba, its in osisioma local govt, the famous aba mega mall is also in osisioma local govt and also the popular aba NNPC depot is in osisioma local govt. So aba its self is too congested for all these.

oak, I see. Awka too is also more populated than abakaliki. I don't believe that figure for abakalliki, that town is more than that.

even with ariaria in osisioma? Don't forget that that the estimated population for osisioma in 2006 is 219,632 and that of nkpor 103, 977. Please let's stop this falacous comments, it won't help us at all.

How can you say nkpor is more populated than osisioma? Where ariaria and abayi is found.

are they as big as ariaria put together? Ariaria should not be compared with those markets, do you know there are also other markets in osisioma? ( if you really know osisioma, tell me those markets). I know nkpor very well, ngbuka is not in nkpor but in obosi (shows you don't even know the area boundary).

Its not relieve market, its relief market and its in onitsha and not nkpor.

You don't even know that axis.

Thick buildings only doesn't make a good city, serenity has a major role to play in a city. That's why cities like Enugu, owerri, calabar will always be more reckoned with than places like onitsha and aba.

Aba is well planned city with minimal implementation, if you look at aba closely, you will notice that we have areas with serenity and those areas that also look like onitsha. A good city is not about four/five storey high rising alone. See the picture below for some relatively seen places in aba with greens.

More seren places in aba

Re: These four (4) Cities Are Competing Amongst Themselves, Wch Is Winning (pics) by betterABIAstate: 6:15am On Jan 30, 2016
And if you still want to see the onitsha style, its also in aba. But this only doesn't make a city.

Re: These four (4) Cities Are Competing Amongst Themselves, Wch Is Winning (pics) by Schematics:
Onitsha has both low and high density hoods..depending on which one you can afford. places like Trans Nkisi, GRA, 3-3 etc which are real Onitsha are no different from Maitama and Ikoyi. Most of those highrises are more at the outskirt of the city like Nkpor, Awada, Obosi etc.

Every big city has different neighbourhoods for different classes of people. Onitsha represent to the SE what Lagos and PH represent to the SW and SS respectively.

Onitsha is not the most populated in the east, aba is the most populated followed by Enugu. Correct your blunder.
I do business in Aba but, I stay at Enugu, Enugu is not populated it is well planned and organised, Aba is no where populated like Onitsha, Onitsha is over populated.

Aba city is more populated than Onitsha city but when you add the surrounding areas then Onitsha becomes more populous. Enugu is populated but vast making the density less. Onitsha, Aba and Enugu are close in real population devoid of Nigerian fraud. Owerri too has increased astronomically as the city witnessed population explosion in the past 5 years and has moved to join parts of Owerri North, Owerri West and Mbaitoli.

Osisioma is too big to be compared with Nkpor. Since you claim to know Osisioma let me list the towns

Ariaria, Umuehilegbu, Umule, Umuocham, Umuode, Amapuife, Okpokoroala, Umuakpara, Uratta, Osisioma, Umungasi, Umueze, Umuimo, Okpu l'Umuobo, Umuojima.

Each of these places have their unique skylines from Igbotic highrise to duplex to village clusters to ghettos.

Yes Osisioma is big when compare with Nkpor in land mass but Nkpor is more populated and better structures than Osisioma, I'm not adding Obosi which is different ball game, Nkpor is made up of five villages named after the children of Dimudeke: Isiome(Umusiome village), Ngwu(Isingwu village), Ububa(Ububa village), Nwafor(Amafor village) and Mgbachu

I don't understand what you mean by better structures oh. Umueze and Okpu l'Umuobo have some of the best structures in Nigeria. You can only compare Nkpor with Umule or Ariaria town or Umuode in terms of structures and landmass.

I know Umule, Ariaria town and other areas you mentioned I know structures in those areas how they look, I know you don't like Anambra and her people but just be frank for ones grin compare Osisioma skyline and Nkpor skyline when you are travelling in both town, Enugu/Onitsha express via Nkpor and Old road, and Aba/PH via Osisioma what those your conscience tell you?
