Ogene001:
And you are nobody and facts don't respect your personal feelings

No, An Aguleri or Abagana person knows that he's not part of onitsha. We cannot twist facts to make you happy

Ogene001:
Even Google map is clear. Onitsha urban sprawl is largest in Nigeria

That's by you, the data says otherwise.
Things can't always go your way

Ogene001:
Ibadan has no countryside. SE have well development and sprawling countryside towns. We have been trying to educate you people but you refused to learn. International organizations have decided but you are here disgracing yourself

I'm from southeast, I cannot add Oba, Abagana, akwuzu and Aguleri as part of Onitsha. You and I know they re not part of Onitsha. There's no amount of cry. The best I can do is at ogidi, it's still debatable

Ogene001:
Stop disgracing yourself. Experts have decided the extents of Onitsha urban metro. Your opinion is irrelevant

Google map workers are experts as well 😁

kingreign:
Are you an urban planner?

This comment isn't true pls.

No I'm not, but Google map cannot lie.
Because the satellite sees everything. Sorry to bust your bubbles

LegendHero:
Those area I mentioned are part of Oluyole LG and was not included. Because you see the labeling Oluyole on the map do not necessarily means everything was covered. You can see the areas I mentioned and even OP himself was strategic enough not to reply me.

lol Onitsha? Even on the map OP uploaded, Ibadan is 5 times the size of Onitsha so I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Except you don’t understand mathematics.

it was included, you go back and read the first comment.
Every single part of Ibadan was within the circle nd oluyole was clearly stated within it.

We are not taking about local governments with no settlements, we are talking about actual urban area

Ogene001:
Whatever you do is irrelevant. You are not an authority in the matter. Google, Demographia and Mackenzie have decided

i added ogidi, ogbunike and umunya.
248km square, google cannot lie.
dont cry because it does not favour your sentiments

Ogene001:
But you can add Ikeja to Lagos. Be deceiving yourself. Are you greater than other well established international authorities? Even your Google map is clear

okay, I will redo that of Onitsha but I won't add Oba to Onitsha, it's not part of Onitsha

Ogene001:
Thank you. These people keep deceiving themselves despite Demographia deciding the extent of Onitsha metro largest in Nigeria by landmass

lol
These onitsha people and wahala

Ogene001:
See how you cut off small section of Onitsha

How do you mean?
Should I be adding Abagana, Awka and Nnewi to Onitsha? 0

I even added Atani to Onitsha, it's still debatable because Atani is a standalone town in Ogbaru local government

Ikaeniyan0:
Ikorodu and Ilorin sef dust onitsha

Yes but Onitsha is dense. Very dense.
Because they have alot of highrise buildings.

mandarin:
Please share other major cities. Want to see Kano, Abuja etc.

Abuja is to difficult to extrapolate, the settlements are separated by great distances?

MadamExcellency:
How is Owerri bigger than Aba? Please stop smoking that weed. Ask questions if you don't know.

I asked Google map and it says so.

When did you do your own measurement?

modernWays:
Only Lagos and Kano are bigger than Ibadan city.

According to Google Maps, Kano is smaller than Lagos, Ibadan and Kaduna.

It's by urban area settlement of the city and not by the total local government in it.

God1000:
Makurdi 804 km2


You got Ibadan wrong it's 3,080 km²

No, Ibadan is not that larger.

mrvitalis:
Your biased for Onitsha was just too obvious sha... It obviously everyone can clearly see the whole Onitsha metropolitan area and you covered 30% of it max

I am not talking about metro, I cannot add ogbunike and Abagana to onitsha, they are not part of Onitsha

13. Kano - 382km square
14. Jos- 252km square
15. Abeokuta- 227km square
16. Calabar - 87km square

9. owerri - 302km square
10. Enugu - 225km square
11. Aba - 217km sqaure
12. kaduna 392km square

5. Port Harcourt - 436 km square
6. Benin city - 613km square
7. Akure - 211km square
8. Onitsha- 248km square

This is the landmass of some major cities in Nigeria according to area their urban settlement.

1. Ibadan - 768km square.
2. Lagos (Minus Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry) - 909km square
3. Ikorodu - 238km square.
4. Ilorin - 293 km sqaure

walefresh3:
ibadan is far develop6 than any southeastern city... Fact..

well, larger, yes but more developed. it is debated. depends on your indices for development

spagettiluv:
I have no idea where you got your version from

can you see the clustere of brown roofs?

[quote author=spagettiluv post=127569344][/quote]You deceiving yourself

spagettiluv:
have it

lol, this is it https://earth.google.com/web/@7.33713141,3.93927238,193.80724733a,3712.36053955d,35y,0h,0t,0r/data=OgMKATA

The link shows that Ibadan is a land of brown roofs

spagettiluv:
That area is where Ibadan starts and ends .
Ignorant mofo

Should post a broader landscape of Ibadan using google earth?

Technology eixst, its is hard to hide things nowadays

spagettiluv:
you go just sit in a corner of your hut and start pulling statistics from your anus.
We don’t blame you tho,you are just ignorant


Elebu village,Ibadan

I am not saying that good settlements dont exist in Ibadan, that is impossible. what i am saying is of every 10 building in ibadan, 7 is rustic brown roof with mud but cement-coated.

this is clear to see if we dont cherrypick certain parts in ibadan but post the whole landscape of ibadan.

[quote author=spagettiluv post=127568783][/quote]this is ibaban. Although not the whole of Ibadan, from this picture, you can see a typical example of what we are talking about. 80% of people in this picture are probably living under a pitiatble situations.

you can see the cocoa house and its environ not taking up to 20% of the total area, you cannot tell me that people dont live in 80% remainder in this picture, if so where is the about 5million population of Ibadan coming from?

I am from Umuahia, Ibadan is larger and obviously has better road and public infrastructure than Umuahia but 80% of Umuahia people dont live under rustic roof and muddy houses. I am not saying that these kind of buliding dont exist in Umuahia but it is about 20%.

This the issue i have with cities in southwest, the people dont live fine.

The first picture is Ibadan, the other is Umuahia. You can hardly find people living in conglomerate of rustic dead houses in southeast

spagettiluv:
they don’t renovate,they just neglect the ancient buildings to go build mansion cos land surplus

People live in these houses, there no excuse to have more 70% of a city covered in dilapidated cemented-coated mud houses with leaking brown roofs. The only explanation is that :
1. people abandon these house and move to Lagos.
2. People are living in them in pitiable situation.

The latter is more probable because of the population figures coming out of these states. If people are not living in these rustic roofs, where are the figures coming from?

spagettiluv:
there you go again,SW towns,cities always have the ancient part and the new part.

Why Pull drone view of areas with ancients buildings in ogbomosho compare with areas developed less than 5yrs ago just to deceive his gullible people?
Do not forget same Nsukka as ancient part as well.

I know ogbomosho well,next time,show views of estates,new sites,GRAs,beautiful areas in ogbomosho

This is a city called Plovdiv in Bulgaria, it is the oldest city in europe still standing, established in 600BCE.
if your claim about age of southwest cities is true, then when is Plovdiv looking better than Ogbomoso even as Plovdiv is 100 of years older?

The answer is probably that the people of southwest dont have enough resources to renovate their houses. It is a good marker for poverty and the ability to modernize. if money were made available to most yorubas, do you think that they want to keep living in cement-coated mud houses with leaking brown roofs?

There is no excuse for southwest towns to look so godforsaken, it still reinforces the fact that standard of living in better in southeast then any state in southwest outside of Lagos

spagettiluv:
you dey mind the ignorant mofo who sit in his hut to Dey type rubbish.
He should try visit iwo road alone to see how ibos keep alighting from bus every seconds

first picture is ogbomoso, the other is nsukka, they are the second largest towns in their respective states. you dont need to be told which has the higher standard of living

Bliss52:



So what sent you to Lagos


.

Is Lagos in Europe?

This is where I go to when I tell you in Lagos that I am going to my village.
