Wrong. There are brown roof houses but soon investors will buy up those houses. Knock them down and build more highrises. That’s how’s it’s been happening for years in onitsha.

No muddy houses and brown roofs.

Watch how dis generate to a tribal bashing

I love igbo people oh my maternal home not my ekiti where our men are lazy

Anaghi aruu uno~ani na Onitsha....uno enu bu Ife n'ewuu

To some extent it's true.Most high rise buildings in Lagos are along the road.Abi they get another one.Majority of Lagos buildings are along the road,apart from areas in mainland,most inner lands are fallow especially in island area's,those that have buildings are mostly duplex.I believe individuals own more story buildings in Onitsha than Lagos.Before you start arguing,igbos control building materials market in Nigeria (look at dangote highest customer always igbos,tiles,paint etc).Why is it like that?,that's because igbos prefer building their houses anywhere they reside Lagos to Kano to Anambra they build story buildings for residents to reside as their investment.

You called those things high roses buildings, we don hear, onitsha is bigger than China and the high roses in onitsha is more than new York, Ibos are very hard-working they develop all the high roses in Singapore and London.

You people no dey tire, only fustrated and pained yanmuri from nnewi and upper nweke village do all this unnecessary chest beating, the hard working ibos are raking in millions and give no shiit about tribal bigotry.

This is the shiit you are comparing with lagos

So a story or two buildings in now high rise abi?

This is a real high rise building with tons of houses on top houses not than hut

More

If Onitsha is better than Lagos

Why do ibos relocate to Lagos for greener pastures

No land again...so 1st go build d 1st floor,2nd son 2nd floor,3rd son 3rd floor,4th son 4th floor and be going..just like dat.

Almost 2/3 of those buildings belongs to foreigners.. Afonjas are lazy and broke

Onitsha will start building 20 to 50 storey buildings once 24 hours electricity is guaranteed to the city.

Right now they will limit it to 5 to 6 stories buildings.

This is common sense. You need reliable electricity to operate the lifts

Op horsepower102 should travel more widely , you know not what you speak of so pipe down small. Below is a section of Yaba in Lagos, that already dents your preposterous claims. You people should relax with the exaggeration.

There are levels to these 'highrise' talk. Lagos is where the real high rises are concentrated. Those buidings at Onitsha are not more than 3-storey buildings which don't even qualify to be called highrises. And a closer look at them would show they already look like they aren't getting maintained asides being poorly designed even. The only place that has a semblance of concentrated clusters of highrises in Nigeria is Lagos like are in the pictures below.
