Grgton:
Lagos city is different from Lagos State copy that

DamnnNiggarr:
if Onitsha alone has a population of 7million, how much population would the entire Anambra State have?

I've been around Anambra State( Onitsha precisely) as far back as 1989, so, I know what I'm talking about.

M4A1carbine:
stop being fuulish abeg.

Is Onitsha a State??...But its on the same discussion as Lagos.

mrvitalis:

Lagos city is not just Lagos Island ...trust me this is built up area I'm sure they included ota even

Onitsha built up area includes the other surrounding towns close to it

Just like when u say port Harcourt ...the real port Harcourt is small but port Harcourt built up area in includes port Harcourt ,obi akpo ,eleme , obigbo , ikwerre , etche even some part of okrika local government areas

Stop saying fallacies especially when you don't understand it. Demographia only calculates built up areas! Even Lagos was not the entire state, places like Ikorodu, Epe etc was not added! Likewise in Onitsha, only the city and at most Obosi and Oba were added. Other places like Nnewi, Awka, Ekwulobia etc can't be included because they're not joined in a built up continuous manner.

Even when you look at the aerial views of Onitsha, you will observe the nature of its built up status. Also notice that Aba was included.

Why Onitsha is far above Kano and more than double of Ibadan is because most of these cities are filled with shanties.

Even Obasanjo..marveled at the resurgence of the City and IGBOLAND as a whole, after a Bluudy war!

The Lagos agbadorian miscreants covert, was never developed by them. If an Afonja wants to talk nonsense, tell him to go to Ibadan. That is their traditional Birthplace.

Lagos is even decaying under the watch of agbado miscreants....Just utterly disgusting...spits

DeadCountry:

And this is Onitsha which was built with 100% Igbo money, unlike Lagos which was built with Biafra's oil money and as well as over 50% Igbo mansions and factories. You wan compare?

shutup.. So your dirty good for nothing cursed smelly onistha is more built up than Capetown or Johannesburg or even Algiers?

NBS data would have been:

1. Lagos

2. Ibadan

3. Abeokuta

4. Osoghbo

5. Akure

6. Ado Ekiti

7. Abuja

8. Kano

9. Kaduna

10. Port Harcourt

Fear who no fear, NBS. Only fools take the serious.

kettykin:


My issue is this mentality of attacking the messenger and not the message, they are talking about the most built up cities, Johannesburg is even more built up more than Lagos

DamnnNiggarr:
I think that of Onitsha should be the entire Anambra State. My opinion though.

But Nigeria's fake data will even tell you that many cities are more built up and more populated than Onitsha.

The most notorious fake statistics agency is that their NBS. Little wonder nothing works in Nigeria.

SMH!

ItooWorWor:


Even though the data is inaccurate, but population density does not equal infrastructure mr man stop parading your ignorance on this forum.


Smaller city will always have more density than bigger ones depending on population.

Arysexy:
For those questioning Onitsha figure, this below was Onitsha population in 1918. Onitsha has continued to grow in population because of the existence of the largest market in West Africa.

Onitsha has expanded and swallowed neighbouring towns like Obosi, Nkwelle ezunaka etc

Onitsha may be small in land mass but contains more ppl than most cities due to the number of high rise building taking more residence per unit area.

In 1918, Onitsha was more populated than Lagos. Fact! Why then would you doubt the figure of 7m for Onitsha?

If proper census devoid of Massob or IPOB interference is conducted today, you will marvel at Anambra population. A state with 3 major cities of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi

tctrills:

First, according to your reputable websites, what is the population of Onitsha?
Secondly. When it comes to population and urban growth, Reuters and BBC are not the best places to look. Do your research with UN-Habitat and ResearchGate.

Please click on the source and study it before disgracing yourself on the internet. This is not only just about population, this is about urbanization. I won't spoon feed you something that you can easily read for yourself.

For those who have doubts about the numbers for Onitsha, these studies are done by international agencies with access to the latest satellite images.

They don’t care about tribe or religion. They just report what they observe.
