Benin is the 7ths most populated city in Nigeria , urbanization is mostly rated alongside a city population and fast the city is growing alojgside the population .... And not necessarily the beauty of the city

Stop disgracing nigeria educational system

Asaba could be finer but not more urbanized than benin

What tribe are you.....
AreaFada2

Abeg just forget those people. Wetin dem sabi?

If Nigeria had continued with Regional system, Benin would have been way ahead of many. Benin is a victim of Biafra war. The war made Gowon create many states and even more states came after that.

The only Federal presence are AIG zone 5 office, S & T military barracks.

Thank you,sugary.You just remind me of the supper you prepared.I was so excited after having my dinner.

Olodo.Igbos are not known for development even during regionalism,they were bbackward.They were all running to Ibadan.
Anambra,their greatest state is gasping for breath on FG's feeding bottle.All the SE states are seriously dead.

yet IBADAN is the biggest slum in southern hemisphere

Bkayyy:

I can answer your question as to why Benin, Port Harcourt and Akwa Ibom have brown roofs.
First of all, I will like you to remove Akwa Ibom from the question because they are not related to the other two in question.
As for the other two being Benin and Portharcourt, it all boils down to their yoruba DNA as Benin is known progenitor of the Ikwerre that owns port Harcourt and Bini in turn was founded by Prince Oranmiyan of Ile Ife (yoruba). So it is safe to say that Port Harcourt is the grandson of the Yorubas through their son Benin (Oranmiyan) and that explains the two sharing the yorubas brown roof because brown roof is the trade mark of yoruba cities.

Oromiyan found which benin nonsense lie from hell

Shut up, IPOB dumbass! No one drags UNN with you Osu morons even though it was built with Nigeria's money. Stop dragging the ownership of Yoruba Universities with Yoruba people. Are you not ashamed of yourself, Osu knucklehead?

I know it hurts that your fellow Osus troop down to Yorubaland to school because your universities in your erosion-ravaged landlocked hellhole are nothing to write home about, but have shame for once.

It's still a fact that Achebe and plenty of your famous people schooled in "brown roof" Ibadan, lmao! I'm enjoying your Osu tears though.

UNN was built with Nigeria money ?

University of ibadan was not a Nigerian university not to talk about yoruba university ...don't go and learn

Again Osu nitwit, Achebe and many of your intellectuals/famous people schooled in Ibadan, end of. No long story. THEY SCHOOLED IN IBADAN. That's enough. Still enjoying your Osu IPOB tears though.

They schooled in Ibadan and so what ? British could have sighted that school anywhere it's no big deal

very ridiculous....apart from Lagos which was what it is due to the federal government ...the South western region is absolutely desolate and nothing to write about


at least you have seen the international reports....you keep jonesin around with bogus IGR

Keep wailing. Onitsha is the largest slum and the dirtiest city in the world

onitsha on the rise.....

a city that isn't a capital

no Airport, standard stadium, robbing shoulders with capital cities....


its a great NeWS thou

Igbochief001:

Osu nitwit, University of Ibadan is a Yoruba-owned University in a Yoruba State. It's been so since 1963, stop crying. Nobody drags owners of Federal-funded UNN with you Osus, most especially Nsukka people. Again, aren't you ashamed that you're dragging ownership of a Yoruba University all the way from your erosion-ravaged landlocked hellhole?

It's still a fact that many of your intellectuals schooled in Ibadan. And no, it couldn't have been cited in your homeland, lol. Who in their right mind would cite a London-affiliated school in Osuland in 1948?

Ikinternational:
Not to burst any bubbles, but Africa has a long way to go.
Lots of grading on a curve going on here.

There's absolutely no list where Lagos n Los Angeles should be in proximity. Other than population

Imagine comparing my Onitsha to Dallas
Enugu to Houston
There's no comparison using whatever metric

African cities should be compared to other African cities. Leave Europe n North America alone. Asia sef

It's best to aim high. Comparing Onitsha to Dallas, is essentially another way of saying, that's where Onitsha wants to be in the next two decades.

Here it is stop pushing fake stats based on bogus metrics

Let’s start from the top with the Lagos region according to GDP and wealth.

Table of Contents

1. Lagos State ($33.68 Billion)

2. Rivers State ($21.17 Billion)

3. Delta state ($ 16.75 billion)

4. Oyo state ($16.12 billion)

5. Imo State ($14.21 billion)

6. Kano state ($12.39 billion)

7. Edo state ($11.89 billion)

8. Akwa Ibom region ($11 billion)

9. Ogun state ($11 billion)

10. Kaduna state ($10.33 billion)

11. Cross River state ($9.29 billion)

12 Abia state ($8.68 billion)

13. Ondo region ($8.41 billion)

14. Osun state ($7.28 billion)

15. Benue region ($6.86 Billion)

16. Anambra State ($6.76 Billion)

17. Katsina State ($5.99 billion)

Absurd. So why is this not translating to increased financial transactions?

Those figures are at least 13 years old. Lagos GDP is in excess of $150 billion, right now. Anambra GDP is larger than Kano, in the latest 2017 figures released by the NBS.

Kirigidi:
If you look at that data, they were not talking about the most beautiful, the most advanced, the most modernized or the cities with the best standard of living. I believe the ranking is based on cities with highest concentration of buildings per square kilometres, not minding the nature of the structures (mud house/modern house/hut) or whether there are adequate social amenities present or not.

This actually what people need to understand here, not being ignorant....

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 sha.

Established by Binis? U guys have big problem�... People were in onitsha before the bini empire was born

Those who call Benin City village make una come see o. Independent Africapolis don rubbish una again o.

It's even our kilt and kin Ezechima people that made SE show up at all.

Then Eko by Edo founders led the pack. Our Ikwerre people complete it in Port-Harcourt. I can see why all the envy. Chai! In a very short few years Benin Prince Iginuwa people of Warri will be up there too. I can see where all the hatred comes from.

Greatness spreads like seeds from a Great tree. No lies or propaganda can cover it.

You nor want Biafra again? Abi Lagos go be new Enugu for Biafra?

Guys check out hotels in Onisha at www.hotels.ng

Misterdhee1:

Oga, igbos brag a lot. And that's the issue most Nigerians have with una. We are this, we are that all the time. Throwing unrealistic, hilarious stats all around the internet. Imagine someone saying arochuckwu that doesn't even exist on the Nigerian map is more developed than Lagos. What does that says? Or the nonsense rhetorics that Lagos was developed by igbos. Isn't that crazy? Okay, onitsha is now Dubai. You people should return home, abi?

The truth is the war has really weakened the average Igbo man's self esteem, and they constantly find themselves going to extra length to seek validation from other Nigerians. Arguably the best person I met in my entire life was igbo, so it hits me hard seeing the sort of nuisance many igbos constitute online just to prove needless rhetorics.

My broda, don't mind them. Always boastful.

oaugraduate1234:
I served in Igboland and I'm telling you these facts:

1. There are no good jobs there, and the cost of living is very high, even in the villages.

2. In Owerri, the only thing boosting the economy there is the presence of uncountable hotels.

3. Igbos do not trust each other, that's why I laugh at them when they say they want Biafra.

4. Igbos don't just like money , they worship money as a God.

5. It's only in Lagos, here they brag. There is nothing in their states.

6. The development and progress there is engineered as a result of borders shared with South South states.

7. And mind you, the empty vessel makes the loudest noise, and you can see they are the ones clamouring for Biafra, whereas South South is silent and focusing on states development.

Thank you very much... It was well analysed.
