Ilorin top ten. I laugh in Spanish. Why are there no Abuja towns in this list please ?

Skull miners may counter it

This is for population. Onitsha tops in landmass. Which year is this? Onitsha is projected to overtake Lagos soon. Onitsha urban area stretches from Asaba to Owerri

Because tribalism is not being practiced by the whites.

The ranking usually come in two categories. By population and by landmass. Lagos tops by population but Onitsha tops by landmass

What is Ibadan doing in the list?

Outside studies and statistical data always show Nigerians everything that they try to hide because of tribalism.

When investors want to invest in a place, they need real data not politically motivated numbers.

Onitsha!


A city built by the people themselves

No government or single individual can ever claim to have built that city. The people built it

Yoruba cities are large but surrounded by empty bushes. Igbo cities are small but surrounded by numerous densely populated towns. With time these small towns merge suddenly a large urban area emerge and overtake the big cities

Nonsense I'm wondering if they matched ogun state with lagos. Can onistsha be compare to Ifo in ogun state? All this nonsensical rating must be stop in 2024 please. Mind you I'm igbo and I grew up onistsha before relocate to southwest lagos particularly.

The reason for the failure in Nigeria economy is them trying too hard to suppress the truth about the right data. They use bodies like NBS to tell barefaced lies all in an attempt to drive development away from any states that have igbos in large numbers, but in the end, water always finds its level.

Ifo is a big thriving Bush, good to rear animals for profit. Wonder why you are not taking advantage of that.

Once Enyimba economic city is built, it will catapult Aba to the top built up cities in Africa.
