Wow buriful city

This was b4 napalm bombs and endless artilley fire levelled every single structure to the ground!

And yet what rose from the ashes of the war is an enigma 2 behold!

Igbo amaka di anyi!

You people can quantify things with such nonsensical adjectives. Anyone who's never been to Onitsha would think he is describing Switzerland and not a cesspit that we all know it is.

Apart from the pictures with that Volkswagen beetle and Yellow bus, I don't see much difference when compared to present day Nigeria. undecided

Take the pictures with markets as example. Present day Nigerian market, still looks same way or even worse.

Dude! Possibly you went to the poorer side of town or you didn't visit ibadan as you claimed.. I was in that town for a year and i criss-crossed the entire town (from the poorer parts to the richer parts).

I have been to Onitsha before and at 1st i wasn't too impressed cuz i met loud, smelly, rude & aggressive set of people people with crappy roads but i kept an open mind because i came there to have fun and celebrate with friends and not to pass judgement on millions of people because of the few that i met on my 1st day. I had good outings later on and if i have the time, i will visit again..

calm down adamu! Don't bust a vessel. For a city dat was reduced 2 mere rubbles during the war,..infact I can't even find suitable superlatives 2 qualify it.

I'm sure u neva been 2 onitsha,...heck u ever left ur village?

wow I tot dey said igbos re intelligent. ..now I know beta. you lack analytical mind. now let me break dz down to you. ibadan AKA the brown roof Republic is d biggest city in Africa. there are more urbanised centers in ibadan dan d biafra land. Now think...the so called brown roofs are just some part tho significant yet small part of ibadan. the recent survey of urbanisation nd industrialisation ibadan comes b4 any igbo nation. let lets talk wit wisdom

What wisdom are you talking with? A place demolished to zero level within a space of few years become alive and vibrant again to the glare of everyone by individual efforts no government intervention, and you want to compared a city that has never seen a frackers let alone war to Osha.. I don't support the people calling brown roof.. I'm not that kind of person I'm just enjoying my baifran land
