Onitsha is a commercial city in the Eastern part of Nigeria, located beside the River Niger, its a city in Anambra state. Onitsha right from the late 19th century till today has always been a business and commercial powerhouse. Goods and services are traded in high net worth deals per second.
Out of the whole merchandise arriving Nigeria, nearly 70% of them usually head to Onitsha for onward distribution to many other cities and countries surrounding Nigeria. This has created a city where the population can only grow and grow. Onitsha commercial activities has spread into all the neighbouring towns and villages surrounding the city. Towns like Oba, Nkwelle Ezunaka, Obosi, Nkpor, Ogbunike, Ogidi, Ogbaru and even Asaba in Delta state has all become part of the greater Onitsha city.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Onitsha development is the settlement pattern of the people, which is characterized by the type of houses they build for mass habitation. Due to the small nature of the landmass of Onitsha, property investors chose to start building medium high rise structures that can accommodate as many families as possible, while retaining a sense of comfort, privacy and decency.
This gave rise to the multiplicity of 4,5 and even 6 story buildings scattered in and around Onitsha city. These building are usually constructed by single individuals who just wants to stake their money in real estate holdings. It has been a profitable business for decades, and more people are still looking for spaces to build these types of homes.
