AfonjaStinks: Kaduna-Zaria axis is quite built up...due to the high concentration of federal and state institutions there. Then there is the fact that it is 2-3 hours away from Abuja. |

The list is almost very correct but I think Oyo, Ogun and Rivers should be ahead of Anambra State. Anambra has 3 basic cities (Awka, Nnewi and Ontisha) unlike Oyo which have Ibadan, Ogbomoso, Oyo and Saki, Ogun have Ijebu Ode, Sagamu, Abeokuta, Mowe-Ibafo, Agbara, Sango Ota while Rivers have PHC, Onne, Bonny Island, etc. Looking at the Industries, population, land mass, infrastructure and other factors, one will agree with me that Anambra supposed to be 6th or 7th on the list. 5 Likes |

Lists not bad. There are still states which deserve to be in the list. Akwa ibom shouldn't be there but why didn't I see Kano and Enugu. I think Ogun was there cos of activities the lagosian has brought to sango, ifo, mowe, ibafo & magboro excluding not highly unbanized Abeokuta, Shagamu, Ijebuode and others. I would have say Ogun shouldn't be added. |

jon1: Lol u are not serious. Iseyin is like a village becoming town na and your assertion is wrong that the town does not have accessible toilet. Those saying Kano suppose to be on list are wrong. The OP said states not cities. If u watch Kano state closely, only Kano city/municipal is developed while other places in the state are chronic rural settlements. Kayrich: Kano and Enugu doesn't deserve to be on the list. These states only have one or two developed cities in it. Bro, u are wrong about Abeokuta. The city is urbanised. Along the university area, amosun need to construct dual carriage road way to pave way for the horrible traffic in that axis. 6 Likes |

After umuhia and aba tell me more of what relate to urban development in abia? In oyo state after ibadan, there is ogbomoso, Oyo, iseyin, saki and the likes of egbeda. In kaduna you still have.

wristbangle: A very Honest Submission. In My Opinion, 1- Lagos 2/3- Ogun 2/3- F.C.T 4 - Oyo 5 - Rivers 6 - Anambra 7 - Osun 8 - Delta 9 - Akwa Ibom 10 - Kaduna In general SE states tend to be denser settled that Western states, but is mostly comprised of village type settlement, but Western states are much more urbanized. with bigger urban centres acting as Urban nodes. On overall population SW states seem to have an edge and more populated on average, especially since Ogun, Lagos and Oyo have all zoomed off since the last population census. Three notoriously popular One city states in the South are Edo (benin), Imo (Owerri) and Cross River (Calabar) ---- lol In the North- Kano is notorious for being another one city state. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

wristbangle: Rivers can not come before Ogun. The reason I say that is because PH dominates the urban landscape of that state. The only other place trying there is Omoku. In Ogun Abeokuta has become nothing other than the Political capital, several other cities there are bubbling. Osun is a mostly urban state (going by the population of its urban centres, if we keep infrastructure/facilities criteria at bay) but if infrastructure/modernization is factored in, it MIGHT fall off the list. 2 Likes |

I live in Anambra bt grew up in Lagos. In truth Anambra just have three main cities, Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka. After these three main cities Ekwulobia and Nkpor are closely followed. States like Ogun ,Oyo and Rivers r urbanised states more than Anambra. Let's remove sentiments. Am from Anambra we never reach those states. Even Awka is lacking many things. 11 Likes |

scholes0: Yeah omoku is trying but we can't brush away bonny island, Onne and few others. To be honest PHC has really taken the wide margin dev of River state. U are right about ogun state statistics. About Osun, I feel they have more of developed towns not city per say except osogbo and Ile-ife. Ilesa, modakeke, Ila, owu, ede are towns. 1 Like |

Ilovemystate: The brown sections represent the ancient factions of the cities which is just 20 percent. Those who have been to Ibadan and Abeokuta can testify to this claim. And those brown roofs u are seeing doesn't connote those houses are archaic. 5 Likes |
