Nowenuse: That is why I always differentiate between the Muslim and the Christian North. The Christian northerners are very progressive people you will even differentiate them from average southerners even here in the north. The core north actually enjoyed the military patronage than any group in Nigeria but due to lack of capacity, they actually squandered most of the wealth. Reasons why some of their towns still have most of the infrastructure built during the military era. Do you know that Suleja town actually has a running pipe born water as early as the year 2000? GRA like Suleiman Barrau way has federal gov't built estate that occupies a 1/4 of the actual city before the explosion in population. I reside in this area between 1993 to the year 2001, between this time electricity was constant, pipe-borne water was 24hours and the area was serene but if you go back to this area it is now a shadow of itself. If the military government was actually fair to southerners and as they invested in the north, there wouldn't be any room for comparison between the south and the north, the later would be so far far ahead of he later in any form of development. 1 Like |

Agboriotejoye: Ignorance is not an excuse! The fact that people in Bwari & Gwagwalada think they are in Abuja does not make it constitutionally correct if we are to go by your strict adherence to political boundaries. Do you people even know the history of the name Abuja and how it came about? Abuja & Suleja were founded the same time by same people who fled from Zaria during Danfodio's conquest... They are practically the same place (kingdom)... It was military leaders that brought this separation in nomenclature. Abuja was under Suleja in the old Niger state! Places like Abaji had no business with Abuja, it has always been a different historic town of it's own! And right from colonial times it was with Kabba/Kwara areas and divisions.... Only ignoramuses will equate places like Abaji & Kwali to Abuja.... They have no relationship whatsoever other than the fact that military leaders amalgamated them from different states to form FCT. This is the last time I will be schooling your ignorance on this... If you still cannot get it, then I give up. For the last time, FCT is not the same with Abuja.... Abuja (constitutionally known as Abuja municipal) is a place under FCT just as Kwali and Abaji are places under FCT. .... Saying Abaji is under Abuja is just like saying Ogbomosho is under Ibadan... |

Agboriotejoye: You and Grgton. The concept of Urban/Metro areas is one which is accepted as a standard by the entire world. I see no reason why you guys should insist on Nigeria being any different... The world ranks Lagos urban area as one of the largest in the world, and of course they include all the adjoining parts of Ogun to it. I have a question for you guys, and I asked you some of it before but you didn't answer. Kaduna state is to be divided along the Kaduna river that cuts Kaduna city into halves.... If this division is realized, will Kaduna city cease to exist as a city? Or what will happen? If Nigeria divides today and the whole of Abuja-Suleja-Karu becomes part of a new middlebelt country and FCT ceases to exist as a political classification... What happens then? You seem to forget that political classifications are very very temporary nomenclatures that can be changed or adjusted at any point in time... But you can never relocate the suburbs of an urban area from where they are. Read very well below to see how Abuja was defined. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuja 1 Like

Nowenuse: Look forget all this history. I know it before you knew it. It's interesting you mention Ibadan and Ogbomoso. That's why I asked you to show us your parameters. Do you know that Ogbomoso historically was part of Oyo? The founder of Ogbomoso fled from Ibadan. That's why the king is called Soun( stay there). Abuja and Suleja have always been different places but Abuja was under suleja. That's why I ask you which one should take preference over the other. The whole FCT area has been administratively described as under Abuja even if they have no relationship according to you. It's just like Badagry and Lagos. That's what I've always wanted you to understand. If you want to add areas to Abuja as part of Abuja, it will be those areas mapped as FCT but definitely not suleja or Karu which are distinct administrative areas just as you recognized Ogbomoso as distinct from Ibadan. If you want to add suleja to Abuja because people who live there work in Abuja, why don't you also add Apomu and Ikire to Ibadan since people live in those places and work in Ibadan too. I can assure you if you add apomu and Ikire to Ibadan, it will balloon more than you can imagine. Note that both towns are under Osun state. You can also add Ogere remo too from Ogun state since people who work in BAT live in Ogere. The problem is you don't understand the subject you dabbled into. You just got google map and started mapping areas that suit your fancy as part of a city. What you need is to get native knowledge of those places before you go into your research. If you are not comfortable with it anymore, you are allowed to remove gwagwalada and Bwari from Abuja. It makes no difference to me. What I want to call your attention to I have. Hope you get it 5 Likes |

Nowenuse: For Kaduna, I've explained it to you using Jebba. A pointer to that is the existence of southern Kaduna just was we have Jebba north and Jebba south, both being different towns. Highlight Abuja metropolitan area in that ur screen shot and you'll see that FCT is what is referred to as Abuja metropolitan areas. Suleja being defined as satellite town is because of the influx of people there. It does not automatically make it a part of Abuja. Refer to Apomu/Ikire I mentioned previously. Like I said, you need to understand those areas before you start mapping them. Not only me, you can see that no one has agreed with you concerning areas they're familiar with so far. That's because identity of a particular area cannot be subsumed simply because it is close to a city. If it is done by the administrative authority no qualms. But an individual cannot just do it. You have to work with what is on ground else your efforts become purely academic. 4 Likes |

These are the 25 largest ghettos in Nigeria. Most of this so called cities are nothing more than villages in the real sense. No proper infrastructure, no transportation system, poor health care, service delivery almost zero. |

Agboriotejoye: Your ignorance is overwhelming... I am only replying you here as regards you talking about Abuja being for Gbagyi... Yes Gbagyis are the majority in Abuja, but they are also the majority in Niger east where Suleja is under. So you can see that you have no point? All the villages under Suleja LGA and Niger east senatorial district at large belong to Gbagyis and her sister Kadara, Kamuku and Koro tribes. Hausas are settlers in Suleja town as well as the entire Niger state. 1 Like |
