Comparing straight line without curved line. Also comparison length with width

if I do the curve, Onitsha is still small. Should I?

You are measuring the road download Google satellite map and do proper measure, stop confusing yourself, have you drive from headbridge Onitsha to Awka via old road I hope you know you can't see forest although your journey, it been built up, do the measurement with Google

to shows your that the longest road n onitsha is nowhere near those in other bugs cities.
If gives an insight as to how large onitsha is

Putinofrussia:
Maybe or is it oil?
Governors policies at times but I know that Makinde in Oyo will seat up when he sees that Oyo is retrogressing under him.

Well, let's see

basilo101:
Onitsha was the earliest established city around that axis

😂😂😂😂
Delta state is part of Onitsha according to you 🤣🤣

author= post=124260216]

Onitsha to ogidi 12km

Borokiri to oyigbo in port Harcourt, 30km

Onitsha is small

[quote author= post=124260071][/quote]Onitsha to ogidi is shorter than these distance within Aba, abia state.

Aba is about more than 3 times the size of Onitsha

basilo101:
That is where your ignorance originates from. When they rate Onitsha high, it's not because of Onitsha but all population clusters in that axis. So you can now rest

So why is not that Onitsha is part of Asaba metro 😂😂

basilo101:
We are talking about Nnewi to Orlu you are talking about Obosi

orlu is alps part of Onitsha metro. Should we add Enugu as well 😂

basilo101:
Do you have continuous sprawl between them? Do you know better than Google

this guy, you are funny 😂

Asaba is part of Onitsha metro 😂😂

post=124259728:
You're wrong, Onitsha is not the only ubernized town in Anambra state, Anambra is second densely populated state in Nigeria after Lagos

Onitsha is too small to be

basilo101:
What of the Oba, Ojoto, Nnewi, Orlu axis the you deliberately cut off from your map?

going your logic, umuahia is part of Aba metro 😂😂

basilo101:
What of the Oba, Ojoto, Nnewi, Orlu axis the you deliberately cut off from your map?

Nnewi is part of Onitsha metro 😂😂🚉

Where are you from? 🤣

basilo101:
The data is a well known data. Onitsha two LGA is 52 km square

add Ogidi and Obosi, Onitsha is not up to 350km.

Should I do it?

basilo101:
You lack in depth understanding of the subject matter. For your information Asaba is part of Onitsha metro. Owerri is close to joining. The point here is population clusters not cultural affinity

😂😂😂
Adding Asaba to onitsha is foolish

basilo101:
Now that is where your ignorance is coming from. Those places are part of Onitsha metro

I know your map, I know Anambra state very well. Trust me, you can't fool me

basilo101:
That figure is for Onitsha South and Onitsha north LGA.

Ogidi and Obosi is not in Onitsha South or North, they are in idemili.

Onitsha metropolitan area is made up of Onitsha south and north, Obosi, Nkpor and some parts of Ogidi.

I know onitsha very well, it's small

Solsix:
That not how it's been calculated. Check buildings per square meter. U will see that Onitsha is built up. Where can u see the type of store buildings except in onitsha

if you say building by square meter then I will agree but total number of building, Onitsha cannot be top 10.

basilo101:
I repeat, city is different from urban metropolitan area. Anambra rural area are so clustered and constant erection of edifice by rich individuals have merged the villages into an urban cornubation as attested by Google. The whole cluster is regarded as Onitsha metro

see look the map.
From head bridge to Ogidi (this part of Ogidi is not even onitsha per se) is still a shorter than than osisioma to Asa umunka in Aba. That distance withing Aba is still twice from headbridge onitsha to Ogidi.

Onitsha is small. It cannot be the 2md most built up by number of houses.

basilo101:
Onitsha has Left those places you are mentioning long ago. Onitsha has capured Awka. Ekulobia and Orlu

the onitsha on your map, you are adding okija, ihiala , Nnewi and even orlu to it 😂😂

You must think I am a foolll 🤣

basilo101:
Abuja is not big.

lol, Onitsha is not even as big as Aba in Abia state even if you add Nkpor, Obosi and Ogidi.

I don't know how you people see this una onitsha 😂

Solsix:
Which Ibadan?? U have not been to Onitsha

I have lived in Onitsha for 6 months. I lived at Niger Avenue, Fegge.

I have at least spent on week Abuja, Aba, owerri, Ibandan, Ilorin, Uyo, Calabar and Benin.

I served in port Harcourt and lived in Enugu for 4 years.

Enugu, Owerri, Benin, Ibadan, Abuja, Port harcourt and even Aba are more built up than onitsha. Built up I mean the amount of buildings. Onitsha is small

basilo101:
You are confusing yourself bro

I will never believe that Onitsha is 2nd most built up city until you give me an exact figure of all the buildings in Onitsha and other cities in Nigeria.

I am damn sure that onitsha cannot make top 10. I'm also sure that onitsha does not have more buildings than event Owerri and Enugu. I doubt if Onitsha will event have more buildings than Aba not to talk of port harcourt, Abuja and Kano.

Are you kidding me 😂

proeast:
Forget about being Igbo, we are talking facts here. Demographia and other international organizations that gave that data don't have any reason to be biased. You don't know more than them!

Lagos is most built up because there are buildings back-to-back for hundreds of miles. Same is applicable to Onitsha. They don't consider Ibadan as built-up because the buildings are more or less shanties, which are categorized as slums by those international bodies.

Onitsha is not more built than Abuja. You and I know this.
Or even port harcourt.

You should be laughing at those data 😂

basilo101:
Go and research the difference between city and urban metropolitan area. That's where your confusion is coming from. In terms of city, Aba is the largest city in the East followed by Enugu. But urban metroplis is a different thing and Onitsha is the largest in Nigeria by landmass and second largest by population

Onitsha is small.
Even if you combine Onitsha, Obosi, nkpor, Ogidi, places like port harcourt, Abuja, Kano, Kaduna and Ibadan are sill larger and more built than it.

tundein18:
"Allow" like Lagos is the ones stopping it. The new seaport was built by state government not federal. If those states want to build themselves a seaport then they should do it. Don't blame lagos for building there own.

Did you read my comment carefully?

basilo101:
There is a difference between a city and urban metro. Stop confusing yourself

Onitsha, Nkpo, Ogidi and Obosi are not as built up as port harcourt metro. Even if you add Oba and Nnewi to it, Port metro comprising onne, Elele, oyigbo and obio akpo is still more built up than all of them.

Obio akpo alone is larger than Onitsha main city

basilo101:
Building will count the year they were built

yeah, the year they were built.

proeast:
ChatGPT shouldn't be relied upon on such issue. Demographia and other research bodies are more reliable.

ChatGPT only picks random information online to form its opinion.

we can search Google satellite. Onitsha doesn't have more buildings than kano, Port harcourt and Abuja. Even Ibadan.

I am Igbo but we have to tell ourselves the truth

basilo101:
You are not considering the dense suburbs surrounding Onitsha which appears green on Google. Unlike places like Kano surrounded by empty desert

Built up means: Number of residential buildings.

Onitsha will not make top 10 on that list

tundein18:
Its mostly the economic capital because the people there built it to be. Stop diminishing the people of lagos and giving glory to the federal government. Kano is bigger than Lagos so why is it not as successful. If anything the government prioritized lagos because of the success of the people there.

it's the economic capital because its given a special treatment to make sure that it's seaport is the only optimally functioning seaport in Nigeria.

It is from this revenue generate by the inflow businesses in Lagos that gives Lagos state money revenue to build Lekki port.
Allow other seaports work well in other parts of the country and Lagos will grow slowly economically because many businesses will move

basilo101:
What you think is irrelevant. A competent authority has done the ranking. Note, the ranking was based urban metropolitan area no cities. Onitsha is more than twice of PH

they are not competent authorities. Who made them reliable, you?
They a body with no relavance. Onitsha cannot be the 2nd most built to city in Nigeria.
Anybody that traveled accross Nigeria know this. Even Chatgpt does not agree with you

horsepower102:
I will take the words of the experts who took their time to study this over your opinion.

Both Demographia and McKenzie have done independent research and come to the same conclusions about Onitsha.

Demographia will release their annual report this month.

onitsha is a small place by landmass, it cannot possibly be the 2nd most built up city in Nigeria. I don't think it's even in top 10.

Even chatGPT don't think so
