Sammy07:

Then why didn't Asaba made the list or Eboyi?. They also make the collective efforts of Onitsha, going by his logic?

haba... collective effort of Igbos... I don't understand you again ooo

Nchenches:



But Sowore was taken serious by Buhari people because Sowore just met with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in one foreign country then.

How? I don't understand.

Obamaofusa:
Indonesia city even more urbanized than New York?
It is not most urbanized but built up.
Onitsha is a tiny city established by the Binis that is not expanding as it should.It is a very old city which had failed to grow and gain more land like Ibadan.
Onitsha is only 52 square km while Ibadan is 3,080 square km.Onitsha is just about 5 GRAs in Ibadan.We have seen this demographia thing before she.

You spoke with ignorance. Let me set the record straight.
1. Onitsha was not founded by the Bini people. Yes, it came under a major Bini influence, just like a lot of Igbo native communities in Delta and Edo states (Ika, Agbor and Igbanke). This influence is evident from their kind of traditional rulership which mimics that of Bini, and some many other articles. Onitsha has always been Igbo. The Bini Empire was large and powerful, so it had many non-Bini communities and territories within its grip. See the relationship between Britain and Nigeria.

2. The figures you posted for urbanization between Ibadan and Onitsha are very misleading. Ibadan is indeed bigger in overall size than Onitsha, but it is not in any way near what you submitted. In a rough estimate, Onistha should be about 40-55% of Ibadan in landmass. Note that Ibadan used to be the biggest conurbation in the black world/Sahara Africa until when it dropped in prestige.


Tone down on how you dish unconfirmed figures. It is even embarrassing to see that you had people like that post of yours. Well, ignorance is widespread in Nigeria for a reason.

What were the factors they considered in arriving at this ranking?

Skyfornia:
Sorry to deviate..

Am I the only one or is there someone else who has noticed that recently, any issue affecting the whole of nigeria, like bad policies from the government, increased in VAT, electricity bill or fuel pump price increase..the Igbos hardly join in protest. When I said Igbos I mean the 5 South eastern states.

Is this to show that despite majority of Igbos being against this government, yet those that supported the government(especially north and south west) are the ones being hit by the famine? Cause there has been series of protests in Abuja, Lagos and some other northern and south western states, yet the 5 eastern states are quiet about it and going about their normal businesses.

Two things are involved,
1. It is either the Igbos don't see the challenges as a burden. Or

2. Igbos truly don't care about Nigeria and only interested in Biafra.. meaning whatever is happening in Nigeria is none of their business.

My brother the answer is all of the above.
My people don't see the issues as a challenge and we don't care about Nigeria

But nothing shows u did with your comment

Jonathan39:
That you've traveled morethan I do is what we can't decide here. But stop saying what you don't know

Refute all my assertions from page 1.
Even if you're talking about land. he only said some villages.
And the truth is Your lands are costly.
Those with brown roofs simply don't have money to pull it down and rebuild it (Cos things have changed since civil war)

Former capital of Nigeria. Onitsha is self made by igbos

OkhaiAsein:
yes but Lagos is thr baba

Onitsha is only 52 square km while Ibadan is 3,080 square km.Onitsha is just about 5 GRAs in Ibadan.We have seen this demographia thing before sha.

wrong bro, Onitsha has expanded to encapsule the towns of nkwelle-ezunaka,ogidi, npkor,ogbunike,nsugbe,obosi,ogbaru,oba and umuoji and umudioka all afromentioned towns are larger than onitsha itself,which if all combined is far more larger than you stated,don't blame you cause your kind hardly travel from your tribal abode..you can't just sit wherever you are and assume Onitsha has not expanded try and travel bro. Ibadan is large I won't dispute that but Onitsha is more urbanised, residential houses at Onitsha are mostly buildings with 4 ore 5 floors.

Nchenches:

If you truly believe in one Nigeria, you should have been happy that Onitsha leveled to zero by Nigeria armed forces during the civil war started to build again and gets recognized as one of the largest urban centers in Africa.

Loads of you don’t believe in one Nigeria but for crude oil in the Niger Delta, you sing one Nigeria.

So who said I m not happy? And how does the crude oil in Niger Delta benefit me? Is my dad a politician? The issue is with Igbos like you using onitsha as bragging right, while putting down the efforts of the indigenous people in places like ibadan and Lagos. Igbos are great people but they are not in any way superior to other tribes.

Funny, Onitsha ado was founded by Igbos that returned from Idu during the city's conquest by Prince Oranmiyan from ile ife not from the current yoruba stooge known as Benin.
I knew yorubas have eyes on onitsha and think they can claim it through their stooge Bini

ccffwx:
Lagos is made up of all the tribes' in Nigeria collective effort but Onitsha is based on only the effort of Igbos. Think about that.

Lagos was already urbanized long before your Osu ancestors came here, you slowpoke! Secondly, it's funny you're not calling this ranking "fake" and "Afonja media propaganda" because it favours you, lol. But if it called Onitsha the most polluted city in the world you'd have been crying about "Lagos-Ibadan media" and Afonja. Hypocrite!

How can Onitsha be 40 - 55% of Ibadan when ibadan is much more bigger than Anambra?

or have you forgotten SE in general is a bit bigger than Oyo state as a whole

Sammy07:


Silly excuse.
Why didn't "all the tribes" go to their respective states to make them great?

All tribes go back to their home states?

But you from the SW and northern regions, you will not agree to that, because of crude oil in the Niger Delta.

Is this a kind of excuse for brown roofs in Ibadan?

OkhaiAsein:
yes but Lagos is thr baba

Lagos is the collective effort of the fed govt and all tribes Igbo's in the majority but Onitsha on the other hand with no fed presence and absence of other tribes is still a trail blazer

Benevento:

we know, in addition.

less than 10% of Lagos is Developed.

Arochukwu my village in Abia state is more developed and has more fine houses per square meter than Lagos

Wia in Aro are u from nwanne

obowo69:


One thing most Nigerian will be shocked to find out is that the South east region as far back as the 90s have been paying the highest cost of petrol. This has been the case for a very long time and Igbos have just adjusted economically to it.

They didn't join the protest when GEJ partially took out the subsidy and they wont join any protest under buhari or any other president.

Forget the statistics from Yemi and his collaborators, the south east has a very strong middleclass that has been able to withstand so many harsh environment for decades.

Lier, si you mean when the fuel is being sold for 87 Naira, you are buying it for 120 Naira in the east. Another lie from the pit of hell.

Sammy07:

I also thought that you guys said ibadan is almost the size of all south east. Maybe the yorubas are looking for excuse for the intimidating poverty in Ibadan

Igbochief001:

Ibadan city is different from ibadan ogs

Less than 20% of ibadan is developed ....
Mbaise my village in imo have more house per square meter than the full ibadan

Ibadan alone is more known and more relevant than any of your South East states though. Many of your prominent intellectuals schooled there, lol. Source for your utterly spurious, codeine-influenced, chest-beating, paranoid IPOB claim that "Less than 20% of Ibadan is developed" and "Mbaise my village in Imo have more house per square meter than full Ibadan"? I'm waiting.

In Igbo land, people inherit lands, the brown roofs in Ibadan is as a result of the people there not having money to change their roof.

Sammy07:

it's not hype cos I schooled at unec.
I know how much land cost And also rent.

even if you're correct it can't be sold as low as 100 - 150(Which any Tom and Jack can afford)

strangest:


haba... collective effort of Igbos... I don't understand you again ooo

You lack comprehension skills bro.
Kano, Kaduna, Port Harcourt, Lagos, onitsha.

all these places Has high percentage of non indigenes, and I said everyone should go back to their state of origin to make it great.
E.g, Asaba and Ebonyi people In onitsha.

ccffwx:
Lagos is made up of all the tribes' in Nigeria collective effort but Onitsha is based on only the effort of Igbos. Think about that.

smh, urban here means density of its population. so it doesnt have anything to do with development

Jonathan39:

What about those in Igbo land?

U still getting it wrong , most of us never buy lands , we inherit lands.
In my village we have plot of 10m , but 90% of us never buy village lands , we inherit it mostly , on getting to 20yrs they will show u your inherited land

Sammy07:


Silly excuse.
Why didn't "all the tribes" go to their respective states to make them great?

maybe I should say, onitsha is the collective efforts of all Igbos (not Just Anambra).
Or do you want to argue that Eboyians and Asaba people doesn't constitute about 25% of onitsha?

they are not talking about greatness here but the population density

Sammy07:

Have you heard any Igbo tell you that Igbo is superior to other tribes? Figments of your imagination?
Have you heard any Igbo tell you that Igbo is the most SOPHISTICATED TRIBE in Nigeria? Never. But we know the tribe whose people brag daily that their tribe is the most SOPHISTICATED in Nigeria. Even after helping to make Buhari to become President of Nigeria, people of self acclaimed most sophisticated tribe said the Igbo are politically ignorant.
