I excluded Abuja and Lagos from the comparison because those are international cities with many foreign-designed buildings. This is the indigenous part of Lagos. It compares well to Onitsha.

Most of the buildings in Lagos Island and Victoria island were designed by Nigerian architects, not foreigners.

They say the government is not allowing Onitsha residents to build higher than 5 stories now. This needs to change. Let the builders build -- simply regulate them to make sure they are doing a good job. Imagine if Dubai, New York and Chicago limited themselves to only 5 stories? Nigerians must have confidence if we want to modernize.

Unless they're being built for olympic athletes, building higher than 5 stories isn't practical without installing lifts!

I think a section of the city (like the river front for instance) could be reserved for developers willing to build higher than 5 stories, but on the condition that lifts are installed. A independent power supply could also be provided for the highrise estate to help power the lifts.

Onitsha is the only city (outside major cities like Abuja and Lagos) that has a semblance of a human-occupied city in Nigeria. Other cities in Nigeria tend to sprawl out in low density animalistic slums, despite the massive demand for housing and high land prices. An Indian friend remarked to me that Nigeria is the only country where people will spend $100,000 to buy a plot of land in the city center and erect a one-story bungalow.

In his country, they build taller multi-story buildings to house as many people as possible on expensive land. Onitsha is the only city in sub Saharan Africa that looks similar to countries like India, China and Indonesia in the 70s before they modernized. The below image doesn't even look like Africa. It looks like China, Vietnam or Philippines in the 70s

Even United nations termed Onitsha as one of the worst cities to live.

Onitsha is like Lagos Island of from Bonny camp to ajah all round . They don't have mushin , ijaye, ijegun , abaranje, obun eko, iju ishaja, Alagbado , agege, idumota , Igando backside ,

Onitsha don't waste land like they do in Lagos , upstairs ! Unless in onitsha GRA or 33 , that's where u see duplexes . Onitsha is well planned !

Whites invented an electricity-free elevator technology almost 150 years ago, but Nigerians are still struggling.

How idiotic can certain dumbass fools sound in Nigeria? Who gives a ratass about what a goofy Indian thinks about cities in Nigeria? India, China, Vietnam or Philippines have population issues relative to land availability. Nigeria has its problem and will manage it accordingly. Only a fool will make disparaging statement about his\her people because one useless goon from India said something about erecting buildings. The poster of above junk added credence to the fact Nigeria is a basket of fools.

You're right, but Aba also has same outlook with Onitsha in terms of building multi storey buildings. If Nigeria has stable electricity supply, Onitsha and Aba would be having lots of high-rise buildings by now. The main reason why they're limiting it to 4,5 and 6 storeys is because of the tediousness of climbing stairs.

"Lagos Highland" indeed. Yes, Lagos island has lots high-rise buildings built mainly by banks and companies for their headquarters as well as some government agencies. However, over 70% of Lagos, especially mainland and including Ikeja, has a mass of bungalows and one storey buildings littering everywhere. I always wonder why a heavily congested city like Lagos, with no land left and suffering housing crises will be filled with bungalows. It just doesn't make sense! Same thing happens in Ibadan, they litter everywhere with dingy bungalows stretching for miles and making the city to look like a massive slum settlement.
