Omoku, 
Nigeria
200,802 people lived in Omoku in 2025. It is the 2981st largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 106th largest in Nigeria.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Omoku governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Omoku grew
Count 10 people in Omoku in 1975 and the same count gives 36.1 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 358,921 people in 2050. On the UN's projection it passes 250,000 people between 2030 and 2035.
projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low
How to read this: one column every five years, 1975 to 2050; its height is the number of people. Hatched columns are the UN's projection. The thin strip beneath says how sure the UN is of each figure: the stronger the colour, the surer. A blank means the place was not on the UN's list of cities that year.

Where it is
How to read this: Nigeria and its 457 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Lagos). Omoku is ringed, in colour; the other cities are grey. Neighbouring countries are outlines.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Omoku covered 19 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 5.2 km² of it. That is 26 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 2.5 times its size, and its people are 3.6 times as many.
How to read this: pale is the whole of the city's land; the stronger square inside it is what is actually built on. The three are drawn to the same scale, so a larger square really is more land, and hatching means the year is the UN's projection rather than a count.
Of every 100 people in Nigeria
Its share of Nigeria
Of every 1,000 people in Nigeria in 2025, 1 lived in Omoku, which is 200,802 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares, one for every 1,000th person in Nigeria; the coloured squares live in Omoku. The grey rest live in other cities, in towns or in the countryside.

How to read this: names are in order of size, the leading number being each city's rank among all 12,138 in 2025; the bars share a scale within a list. A jump in the ranks means a city under 300,000 people, which is not given a page here.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Omoku are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1975 to 2025, then projection to 2050. Projected years are drawn hatched, and the UN publishes no range of uncertainty for a city. What a city means here, how the UN measures one, and why that number can differ from the one Omoku publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
