Jaideyone:What you don't know, you don't know. Stats of Onitsha has always been restricted to Onitsha north and South LGAs while more than 80% of the city is never added in its population or landmass. It's like restricting stats for Lagos to only the old Lagos FCT, meaning places like VI, Lekki, Mushin, Ikeja, Agege, Oshodi, Iyana Ipaja, Festac, Ojo etc are not added but only Lagos Island, Ikoyi, Surulere, Yaba, Oyingbo, Iddo etc is used for Lagos. Travel and see, you won't. Moreover, that landmass for Ibadan you provided was for Ibadanland and not the built up area of the real city of Ibadan. If Ibadan is about 3,000 square kilometers as you posited, that means it is more than or almost same as the whole of Lagos state which is about 3,500 square kilometers. Using your Google Map or Google Earth to compare can cure your ignorance sef. 8 Likes |

ariesbull:hmmm...one major problem with people is that we listen just to respond and not understand. firstly where did I explain the term "built up area"? what I simple said is that it doesn't mean that area is developed. so try to acquire wisdom its clear that you lack it on a fundamental level. |

Yyeske:you see your ignorance? you foolishly believe Lagos city=Lagos state that's why you included the mushin, Ikeja, agege, etc which are cities on their own within Lagos!!! the Lagos in the write up is the Lagos under the kingship of oba akiolu which includes marina, isale eko, balogun, idumagbo, obalende and areas around them. the Lagos in the write up doesn't even include all those areas you listed. it doesn't include VI-epe axis and it doesn't include Yaba-oyingbo/costain axis which is still part of the Lagos mainland!!! you've once again managed to expose your ignorance the most build up in the write up means cities with little or no space left for virgin land developments Mr Tundebricklayer you should read the above too 1 Like 1 Share |

Jaideyone: Read demography of Lagos DEMOGRAPHY OF LAGOS Lagos has a very diverse population due to heavy migration from other parts of Nigeria and surrounding countries. The originators, Yoruba are the dominant ethnic group. There are more than 250 ethnic groups represented in Lagos, which includes the major ethnic groups of Africa like the Hausa, Igbo, and Fulani. Small minorities of American, British, East Indian, Chinese, white Zimbabwean, Greek, Syrian, Lebanese and Japanese are also present in the city. In the mid of the 19th Century, a large number of ex- slaves of Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Cuban descent and emigrants from Sierra Leone created communities in Lagos, along with ex-slaves from the Americas. They became missionaries and merchants in the city. The city faces a major issue of inequality in the distribution of wealth and income.While there are many millionaires in Lagos, about 66% of the population lives in slums. In fact, the city has been dubbed the “mega-city of slums,” with millions living in and around the lagoons with no access to roads, clean water, electricity or waste disposal. POPULATION GROWTH AND POPULATION DENSITY IN LAGOS The population of Lagos was 1.4 million in 1970, which saw a tremendous rate of increase reaching a 21 million scale. The city is home to a huge number of millionaires and at the same time generates 25% of the Nigeria’s Total gross domestic product. It is also the 8th fastest growing city in Africa. Lagos’s population is growing at a very fast rate and with this pace it will have a population of 300 million in the coming 25 years. With the population doubling over the last 15 years, living standards across Nigeria remain poor. Today, 25% of Africans are Nigerian. By 2050, Lagos’ population is expected to double, which will make it the 3rd largest city in the world but with less infrastructure than any other large cities of the world. Lagos has a population Density of 13,000 per square miles. FACTS ABOUT LAGOS 1. Lagos have south-easterners representing them in the House of Assembly. 2. Renting a house in Lagos is really very expensive and the most expensive in the entire West Africa. 3. Of all the 36 Nigerian states, Lagos state is the smallest and at the same time the most Populous State in Nigeria. 4. The country accommodates 1200 new people daily. 5. It has the Highest Number of Millionaires and at the same time highest number of slums in Nigeria. 3 Likes

TundeBricklayer: Being a typical troll of yourself and of senseless mentions on this platform is more than enough to assume you can never grow up, mentally, psychologically. When will you grow up, colins? By the way that junk you called ibadan pictures is as old as your old age. The level of your misery should have at least whispered to you that ibadan you tried so hard to pull down trashed owerri and enugu village the so call pride of the east. |

Yyeske: You are the ignoramus here coz total ibadan landmass has always been reckoned to be almost as large as the entire Lagos landmass, some parts of which aren't fully built up even. Its landmass stands at 3080-square km (which isn't farfetched when you consider Oyo state total landmass is about 29,000-square km). Every available data corroborates that. And that landass still remains the largest of any single city in the entire West Africa. #Fact. Population-wise it has the third most populated metro-area outside Lagos and Kano (as at the 2006 census, ibadan population was reckoned to be third largest [close to 3-million, which was almost the entire population of Enugu state as at 2006] behind Lagos and Kano with kano edging it out by about 200k inhabitants, while Onitsha recorded a meager 261k population figure). Results from a recent Oyo state government property enumeration exercise puts the current estimated population of ibadan at no less than 7-million. Like an earlier poster stated, it would be shocking if Onitsha wasn't already built-up and densely populated by now considering its very limited landmass (even after adding the surrounding towns sef). 1 Like

ariesbull: You've done justice to my claim. 2002 is quite a lot of years, you know. I mean, even the OP stats proved that having placed ibadan at number 3 and defeating the likes of almighty enugu and et al. I'd say shame on enugu and owerri for being defeated by ibadan. Above you, there, it's the new ibadan by flyB of 2018 and not 2000. I can't lecture you abeg. Loll |

FlyoruB:Oduavanguard your long essay doesn't change the fact that 94% of Ibadan people are living in slums, stop deceiving yourself, it not about landmass, Lagos is the smallest but bigger economy, Anambra economy is fourth largest after Lagos, Rivers and FCT, Niger state is largest in landmass but Imo state is more economically viable, Oyo is large no doubt, but Anambra trashed Oyo in banks transactions, which CBN said can be use to measure viable states, with Oyo landmass, Anambra host more bank branches than Oyo state, more industries, more markets, more productive in agro sector, oil and gas etc., Ibadan is the only city in Oyo largely covered by slums, this is a state I know it's not about media propaganda, showing two skyscrapers at Dugbe while streets are slums and dirty doesn't make sense, If I start posting pictures of Anambra na you go run. 5 Likes 1 Share |

The number three(leaving enugu behind among others) most urban renewal according to the stats. Did you read the OP at all or you are just being funny? And no, I am not the OP the stats says that. |
