In west Africa, Abidjan area is the most illuminated followed by Accra while Lagos falls behind. Imagine so-called biggest city and economic powerhouse languishing in darkness. What a disgrace!

You need to see how illuminated kenya, namibia, tanzania and morocco are. Far more than the whole of west Africa

MrProlific95:
Africa still in Darkness

No be small thing. so dark compared to other places, Only south africa, kenya and Namibia get light

I took the current light map of Nigeria in the night: Lagos, Abuja, Uyo, Port harcourt, Enugu, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Ilorin, Calabar, Jos and Kaduna seem to be the most lighted up cities in Nigeria. it is an indication that these cities have the best street light infrastructure in the country.

Some of the slightly lighted up cities includes Akure, Abakaliki, Makurdi, Zaria, Kano, Onitsha, Asaba, Ife, Osogbo, Nsukka, Warri, Bida, Iwo, Owerri(Ihiagwa Axis), Maiduguri, Ijebu-ode and Benin city.

Yankee101:
Satellite images will pick river breaks as a separate landmass. They’re are the same capital city with a divide linked by a bridge across. It’s like Asaba and Onitsha

That’s why humans read and analyze satellite images you don’t just dump them

I did a great job of excluding them sir.

Manchester disunited.
Foolish club, I hate that club Sha

SSFeedsNigeria:
Stop being ridiculous, you added Lekki, Ikeja, Ojo, Festac etc as part of Lagos, but refuse to add Oba and Obosi as part of Onitsha? Common, I'm not from Anambra but you're biased and unfair.

I know you didn't add Osisioma and parts of Obingwa and Ugwunagbo that has long fused into Aba.

Meanwhile, if SE cities with vast numbers of multistorey buildings are competing with other cities where bungalows are predominant, then it says a lot about. Nigeria's population figures are fake and politically manipulated!

Stop crying. Go through it again

Yankee101:
Kaduna is much bigger than port harcourt

It has kaduna north and kaduna south

You just picked kaduna north on one side of the river j

But the extrapolation says otherwise. Na satellite talk say port Harcourt is generally Bigger

Ogene001:
Enugu has reached Ugwuogo Nike to the north, Four corners to the south. The rugged Udi hill prevented Enugu from merging with 9th Mile

Ugwuogo Nike, where you will drive over thick pushes to gt to thr round about 😁

Ogene001:
See this mugu. You really take yourself too seriously. Who are you and why do you think your opinion matters?

I'm taking Google map too seriously. They know more than you do 😁

Ogene001:
Stop disgracing yourself. Onitsha urban area is the largest in land mas in Nigeria and second largest in population after Lagos

ok sir

Rayzoom:
Why? What determines the boundary? So to you Oba is a stand alone town, this is ignorance of the highest order, so where exactly made up Onitsha metropolis? Or are you just talking about Onitsha INLAND TOWN?

I know it's hard to comprehend but again, we are not moping metropolis here. Read and understand.

kingreign:
I don't need to Google it before I know what it entails to call a place a city.

It should be noted, a city doesn't necessarily have skyscrapers before its called a city.

How sure are you?
If you had used Google, you would have known the basic definition of an urban area.

Instead you conjured your own definition 😁

Sciolist

kingreign:
What does it entails for a location to be a city?

School me.

I checked again, you are the foool here 😁
Pick up a textbook and educate yourself. Noise no dey cover ignorance

kingreign:
There you go. It's easier to see that you are defining things from an elementary point of view.


I'm done with you, bye!

You really do not know how low I rate you 😁

kingreign:
A little googling would had helped you off this embarrassing situation.

Physical attributes are not the only reason to label a place an urban area.
Population of over 20,000 people, administrative, economic and legal considerations are also important factors in labeling a place an urban centre. This is just the basic for Urban planning definition.

I just Googled it, turns out that you are still proudly saying rubbish 😁

kingreign:
Lol, unfortunately, you're the one who's very wrong and you're ignorant about it.

I've been using Satellite imageries to map out areas of study or interest for over a decade professionally. That should tell you something.

Dude, you are yet to grasp the basics, drop your pride and take up and an SS1 geography textbook to check the definition of Urban and rural settings.
The earlier you realize that you re empty, the better for you

kingreign:
Ignore him. He has an over bloated ego but doesn't know anything about this topic he's taking up

You re just busy blabbing and goofing. I stopped taking you seriously when you missed thr definition of urban area

kingreign:

it's funny because you don't even know the definition or urban area, where did you say you work again?
😁

kingreign:
Built up areas are different by definition from Urban areas.

An Urban area may be so called due to administrative, spatial, physical (infrastructural), population or economic reasons.

A built up area is so called because of the level physical of development (physical ans infrastructural).


Know this and know peace.

From the map, if you actually knew how to read maps, the whole of Ibadan urban area were marked, it's still not up to 1000km square. You are becoming laughable.

Ibadan Urban is less than 800km square. Go bck to geography class and get basics on map reading abd the definition of urban settlement. You illiterate.

And urban setting is usually a built up area. It's basic

kingreign:
You know nothing about Urban Planning, Land Survey, Environmental Management so no need arguing blindly with you.


Arguing with you is like a cobbler arguing with a Medical doctor about how to perform a Biopsy procedure

Coming from an African expert who does not understand how basic maps like Google works 😁

The only person who works in ministry of works and still don't understand basics of maps 😁

kingreign:
Going by your definition,
lake Ontario stops Ontario from being an urban area, the Thames River stops London from being an Urban area. The Hudson River stops New York from being an Urban area.

Interestingly, you're very wrong!

No need arguing over what's completely wrong.

if I add thr forests in Ibadan, are you going to be happy?

MadamExcellency:
Google is not living in the Southeast and only gives you what Gabbage it was fed.

It was only Southeast tribal politics that stopped the creation of Aba State when East Central State was divided by Gen Gowon in 1976 alongside old Imo (Imo, Abia and Ebonyi) and Anambra States (Enugu and new Anambra).

Aba is like Lagos State where every Yoruba thinks he/she has a stake hence it is a melting pot of Igbo tribes and clans. At present, Aba Urban comprises 5 LGAs and at large is a total of 9 LGAs. (Old Aba District under the British colonial rule).

I remember in 1979 when we schooled in Aba what the city represents even after the war.

Actually Google lives everywhere. It's a satellite.
Go read up on satellites and then come back when you grasp the basics

kingreign:
Sorry to bust your bubbles and put an end to this impression you have. That said you sound needlessly rude.

Google map although being a satellite imagery software isn't the satellite mapping used professionally for geographical and urban purposes. QGIS and ArcGIS is a much professional tool compared to Google Maps.

I'm a qualified professional urban planner and I have worked in Ministry of Environment in Ibadan North LGA.

If you like be minister of housing, Ibadan urban from the map is not up to 3080km.

Maybe, combining the forests in other parts of the smaller local government can mke it that size. Let's do argue thr obvious.

If we are going by your definitions, do you think thay Kano city will not be larger, you want us to add forests and deserts?

Going by your difinition, Onitsha will be way larger than Ibadan. Because I will have to include Ekwulobia to Onitsha

kingreign:
What's your definition of the following terms:
1. Urban area
2. Built up area?

Yes, cluster of buld up area that is not separated by large natural boundary like forest, large river or big lake. Ibadan city urban cannot reach 3080km square going by that definition.

It's clear to see on tha map. Don't argue

There no how you will map ibadan to be 3080km square.
Unless you will be adding vast land full of forests.

From gooel map, you will clearly see thr urban areas inside of Ibadan and then calculate the area

Ogene001:
Do why did you add Obosi and nkpor? Are they Onitsha people. Stop disgracing yourself

Because there's no clear boundary. Like thick bushes or so.
This also applies to Lagos, there's a clear boundary like Bushes and swamp between Main Lagos and Ikorodu, else I would hve added Ikorodu to Lagos

Ogene001:
It's obvious you are a clown. Nobody is talking about people or culture affiliations, we are talking urban metropolitan area

You are an idiot. No one is talking about metro here.
We are talking about cities.
If it's about metro, I would hve added Mbaise to owerri and Epe/ikorodu/ Badagry to Lagos... You can cry all you want, I won't add Abagana, Oba and Awkuzu to Onitsha

Ogene001:
If things are always my way your attempt to "balance things" is nonesense. Facts are sacrosanct even if one person have his way 100%

Oba, Abagana and Nnewi cannot be added to Onitsha. They are standalone towns. An Nnewi or Oba man is not an Onitsha person.

An Awkuzu man no be onitsha man.
