The majority of people in Onitsha are Igbo and speak the Igbo language however significant communities from Northern and Western Nigeria live in the city. The Onitsha people like to be referred to as Ndi Onicha.

Aba is a city in the southeast of Nigeria and the main trading centre in Abia State. Upon the creation of Abia state in 1991, Aba was divided into two local governments areas namely; Aba south and Aba North. Aba south is the main city centre and the heart beat of Abia State, south-east Nigeria. It is located on the Aba River. Aba is made up many villages such as; Umuokpoji Aba, Eziukwu-Aba, Obuda-Aba, Aba Ukwu and other villages from Ohazu merged due to administrative convenience. Aba was established by the Ngwa clan of Igbo People of Nigeria as a market town and then later a military post was placed there by the British colonial administration[1] in 1901. It lies along the west bank of the Aba River, and is at the intersection of roads leading to Port Harcourt, Owerri, Umuahia, Ikot Ekpene, and Ikot Abasi.[2] The city became a collecting point for agricultural products following the British made railway running through it to Port Harcourt. Aba is a major urban settlement and commercial centre in a region that is surrounded by small villages and towns. The indigenous people of Aba are the Ngwa. Aba is well known for its craftsmen. As or 2004 Aba had an estimated population of 1,020,900.[citation needed]

If you leave anambra people, they will tell you that onitsha is more populated than Lagos. Its not a news that aba is one of the most populated cities in Nigeria, yet anambra people will want to sholve lies down our throats. How big is onitsha?
From head bridge to borromeo junction is not up to 5km (which is the about the full length of onitsha) and from borromeo junction to ogidi building material market is not up to 5kms, that's the full length of onitsha-nkpor-ogidi. Its so small that you can pass through the three towns in 10mins.

Ask an anambra person the most industrialized city in southeast, he will tell you its nnewi. I have learnt how to stop arguing with an egoistic anambrarian.

You're a silly daft. we are not talking of land mass but population even if it takes only three mins to drive around anambra.
some will even count okpuno umuobo as one of the densely populated suburb of aba but after water side what you will meet is empty village with only its native.
