You're absolutely right!! Sentimental nominations here and there!?
My list in there order of importance.
1. Aba (made famous by its numerous industries and the enterprenuel and industrious nature of its citizens)

2. Onitsha (made popular by its location, having the largest market in West africa and the enterprenuel nature of its inhabitants)

3. Warri (Oil industry activities and comedy made this city very notorious popular)

4. Zaria ( Federal government establisments and location contributed to its popularity)

5. Bonny Island (NLNG made these island popular)
These first five are in a class of there own.

5. Ijebu Ode (location, Juju and garri made these town important)
6. Ikot Ekpene (well known for its raffia industry)
7. Ile Ife (made popular by virtue of being the craddle of Yoruba legends and folk tales as well as OAU)
8. Okene ( its nodal nature and reasons bodering on history)
9. Auchi (location)
10. Orlu (location)

the rest are nothing but rusty one horse towns not worthy of mention.

Having struck out Ogbomoso, Nnewi and Mubi earlier, we ought to have a list of 14 now.

1. Onitsha
2. Warri
3. Aba
4. Ife
5. Bonny Island
6. Zaria
7. Chibok
8. Kafanchan
9. Eket
10. Sagamu
11. Nsukka
12. Ikorodu
13. Ijebu
14. Okene
15. Ore
