zeuss:

I am that I am

IJOBA11:
YOU HAVE BEEN CAGED BY YOUR RADICAL MUSLIM BRETHREN.

You mean Muric?


Even most Muslims don't support them




What next?

The star of David is blue

What next?

He didn't say that
Why looking for allies now?

To your tents..

Ournolly:
Nobody will give you Onitsha IGR even Anambra State government is covering it as it will expose how much they got and how little they did with it.
Also, whenever something comes up you lot will start shouting stupid Ogun IGR, this no dey tire una sef?

I don't care about any igr, this thread is about the most built up cities on earth and Onisha happens to be on top list.
Why exactly is this cost you lots sleepless night?

Which start are you expecting? The bloated and shrinked stats by Nigeria wannabe brown envelope journalists?

Since you said the above list is a mistake I suggest you protest and asked them to replace Onitsha with Ota.

If someone is discussing about Nigeria cuties person go dey mention Ota.

It is clear you guys have nothing tangible to say here. Lemme return to the board I have been active on.

Ota with less than 400 000 people makes more money than your Onitsha with 6.9 million
SW GDP (without Lagos) is higher than SE

Let that sink in

Ournolly:
lol
Mistake because it does not favour your bloated ego?


Who is talking of landmass here? There is no adequate interlinking of Nigerian cities.
Onitsha to Awka for example will cost about 600 (to and fro). Does it make sense to live in Awka and be wasting money on transport if you can find a good affordable apartment in one of those numerous 5 storey buildings in Onitsha?
Monthly transport cost from Awka to Onitsha - 18k
Average monthly rent in Onitsha - 20k.
Let's not even bring Owerri or Enugu to evaluation, you get the point now?


I can also say there is no way Lagos will be over 15 million.


You are certainly not a fool but permit me to say - you are starting to sound like one.

Is Onitsha igr up to Ota?
Population density is not a prerequisite for development


I repeat
Give me the two other statistical data from reasonable sources

Ournolly:
Remember you are crying ont data brought out by a non-sentimental international body? I wonder how you will handle another one!


Honestly, I don't know but should be around 8 million.


Same reason no South West city is not up to 5 million yet Lagos is more than 15 million, commerce is the biggest attraction in the developing world, both Onitsha and Lagos are filled with markets.


As I pointed above, the city's population hardly spread out in developing countries. The reason is simple - lacking adequate transport system to link two cities.
Europe for example has fast rail systems, a very cheap and suitable transport system that can easily link not just cities but countries whereas we lack such in Nigeria. We don't even have a good road network and traffic congestion in booming cities can be irritating. Travelling from Onitsha to Owerri for example can be hetic - you will waste hours in Onitsha - Owerri Road (at Onitsha) alone

SW has more land
Demographia made a mistake
There's no way Onitsha will be 7m
I may be rational but I'm no fool

You are not serious with your biafra yet



You are can't antagonise and hate everyone yet you want to enjoy
Nigeria is a zoo
Then keep of



You can't eat your akpu and have it

pelumi247:
For your mind abi...
I think this is coming from you because none of your family members are involved...

Afonjaz need to atone for their sins of backstabbing other ethic nationalities, no one trusts them anymore and they should enjoy the next level they elected with the help of the rice-sharing drug lord

Ebonyi says hi

Ournolly:
This is not a point, you are either ignorant or something is clouding your judgement.

New York City is densely populated not New York State. Even at that New York City is not even among top populated cities on earth.

New York City is less than 800km2 with over 8million population, Onitsha metro is about 2000km2 with about 7million population.
I don't understand why you are comparing the two. Onitsha metro land mass is almost 3x that on New York City and still not up to New York's 8 million population.

There's clearly a case study on city planing in the developed countries. That's makes is easy to manage population to avoid huge density.
This planning is not effective in most Asian countries and rapidly growing African countries like Nigeria.

I have been waiting for you lots that are ranting that Onitsha is not up to 6.9 million to bring something tangible to counter that above stated facts, I want to tackle them one by one.

I don't have your time
So the population of the city can't spread out right?


Well bring two other statistical data from reasonable sources then I will believe

6.9 million
You think sey na joke
So Anambra state is what?
How come no other Eastern "city" has up to 5?

Any proof
Website?
Wikipedia?
Anything?


Then I can also paste 200 years old on my forehead and claim I am the oldest man alive

okigbojihad:

They can't raise themselves up without putting other people down
