mandarin:
Please share other major cities. Want to see Kano, Abuja etc.

Abuja is to difficult to extrapolate, the settlements are separated by great distances?

Ikaeniyan0:
Ikorodu and Ilorin sef dust onitsha

Yes but Onitsha is dense. Very dense.
Because they have alot of highrise buildings.

mrvitalis:
Your biased for Onitsha was just too obvious sha... It obviously everyone can clearly see the whole Onitsha metropolitan area and you covered 30% of it max

The whole Ikorodu metropolitan area is not covered too

God1000:
Makurdi 804 km2


You got Ibadan wrong it's 3,080 km²

Ibadan , not Oyo state . I think it should be that size

I've always known this

Workch:
This is the landmass of some major cities in Nigeria according to area their urban settlement.

1. Ibadan - 768km square.
2. Lagos (Minus Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry) - 909km square
3. Ikorodu - 238km square.
4. Ilorin - 293 km sqaure

Where are those allocating 3000 square kilometers to Ibadan?

Ttalk:

Una hard to educate walahi. Onitsha urban is larger than Lagos

Workch:
5. Port Harcourt - 436 km square
6. Benin city - 613km square
7. Akure - 211km square
8. Onitsha- 150km square

See how you cut off small section of Onitsha

Ogene001:

How do you mean?
Should I be adding Abagana, Awka and Nnewi to Onitsha? 0

I even added Atani to Onitsha, it's still debatable because Atani is a standalone town in Ogbaru local government

Workch:
9. owerri - 302km square
10. Enugu - 225km square
11. Aba - 217km sqaure
12. kaduna 392km square

Stop phooling around. You are just deceiving yourself

Thank you. These people keep deceiving themselves despite Demographia deciding the extent of Onitsha metro largest in Nigeria by landmass

lol
These onitsha people and wahala

LegendHero:


Ibadan should be more than this. From your screenshots, you left out Odo Ona, Alomaja Adebayo, and Idi Ayunre. Those are part of Oluyole LG and they fall in Ibadan.

Either way, you did a nice job even tho normal source put Ibadan at 3080 sq km.

So you didn't see oluyole inside the circled area on the map??

I thought it was that big like you guys portray here, even the whole areas outside the circled part of the map are uninhabited unlike onitsha.

Hmm

But you can add Ikeja to Lagos. Be deceiving yourself. Are you greater than other well established international authorities? Even your Google map is clear

God1000:
Ibadan is the largest city in west Africa by landmass

Yes now, at 704km Square, not like how they over exaggerate it here, although a huge part of Ibadan is underdeveloped

Ogene001:

okay, I will redo that of Onitsha but I won't add Oba to Onitsha, it's not part of Onitsha

That's the difference between SE and SW. SE has populated countryside. SW cities are surrounded by empty bush. The countryside towns in SE makes small cities have huge Urban metropolitan areas. This is what we have been trying to make SW folks understand

MadamExcellency:


How is Owerri bigger than Aba? Please stop smoking that weed. Ask questions if you don't know.

It is believable, Owerri is the main city in the SE right now. The growth rate over the past few years has been unreal. Aba has grown by more slowly.

This thread is not an good way of gauging city size though

Ogene001:

He even included Nkpor. Ask Nkpor people if they are Onitsha people

Workch:

Whatever you do is irrelevant. You are not an authority in the matter. Google, Demographia and Mackenzie have decided

Ofodirinwa:

Urban Metro has nothing to with that

Aba and Enugu are the largest SE cities while Onitsha is the largest urban metro

Those area I mentioned are part of Oluyole LG and was not included. Because you see the labeling Oluyole on the map do not necessarily means everything was covered. You can see the areas I mentioned and even OP himself was strategic enough not to reply me.

lol Onitsha? Even on the map OP ed, Ibadan is 5 times the size of Onitsha so I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Except you don’t understand mathematics.

Ogene001:

i added ogidi, ogbunike and umunya.
248km square, google cannot lie.
dont cry because it does not favour your sentiments

Workch:
No, Ibadan is not that larger.

Are you an urban planner?

This comment isn't true pls.

it was included, you go back and read the first comment.
Every single part of Ibadan was within the circle nd oluyole was clearly stated within it.

We are not taking about local governments with no settlements, we are talking about actual urban area

No I'm not, but Google map cannot lie.
Because the satellite sees everything. Sorry to bust your bubbles

And we should clap for you because of the addition? International organizations have added beyond that so who are you and why does your opinion matter?

Stop disgracing yourself. Experts have decided the extents of Onitsha urban metro. Your opinion is irrelevant

Outside the circled part in the map, everywhere else is Bush and uninhabited except ikire which is in osun state. Look at the map well.

Look at Onitsha map well and see many urban settlements not included in the map.

Ibadan has no countryside. SE have well developed and sprawling countryside towns. We have been trying to educate you people but you refused to learn. International organizations have decided but you are here disgracing yourself

Google map workers are experts as well 😁
