The Population Density Of Igbo Land

The entire Igbo land looks like a city from Google Earth.

There isn't an inch that isn't populated. The area below i photographed isn't a city. It isn't marked or labeled, meaning it's just a regular stretch of earth. Most of the cities and villages in Igboland have merged into one with barely a mile marking the beginning of one and ending of another!
It's truly a fascinating situation. Anambra leads in the density, and is a state I can describe as a single mega city.
I'm curious as to why this part of the earth is so heavily populated. There no where in Nigeria that looks like this, let alone Africa, unless you count Lagos, Cairo and Johannesburg.
