Pls guys what is the difference between a town and a city, since all urban areas are called cities here in nigeria. I think there should be a distinct diffrence between them. All the way from Lagos to lokoja to nnewi to kano all are called cities by nigerians

No difference... they both lack proper town planning.

If Nigerians call am city na city e be na

As far as I am consigned na only lagos Abuja and too some extent port Harcourt that can be described as something that " resembles" a city the remaining na towns and villages...how can you call a place without rail line, no subway, no stadiums no airports, no skyline no waterfronts no industries as a city are you mad?

help me Loud am make that failed ilorin blogger haboseyday

There's no clear difference as the line of distinction varies from countries to countries. In Japan, for example, a place having more than 50,000 inhabitants is termed a city. Going by this logic, we will have more than 1000 cities in Nigeria.

Some sources believed a town to be geographical location that has its own governing body or government area. So I guess places with more than a LGA can call itself a city then. Offa in kwara state has a single LGA and thus is a town while Ogbomoso with 5 LGAs is a city within that context.

A town different from city b.......

My bro,dis is a very simple question...what is causing wahala here is the ENGLISH... City is a larger town with high population and some sorts of S.A. Town is just densely populated

Am here to learn

investment in the state? Any other thing apart from ill furnished shops and filling stations. You can’t even get original stuffs even 😒
Abeg talk another thing jor

You’re just misleading people

United Nations use the population of people residing in an area to classify it as Hamlets, Village, Town, city, Megapolis and whatnot...

It's not necessarily the infrastructure in an area that makes it a town or city. Because even some small villages in the Western World have some cutting edge infrastructure that a so called city in a third world country doesn't have.
