nigeria1,a comical character on nairaland goes about with pictures trying to butress a point that the south is more populated than the north or the west more poupulated than the east,ordinarily i don't pay attention to his pictures,but i decided to give the comic character the benefit of doubt and the revelation was staggering!,for instance in his comparison of loboru,ibadan,kano,kaduna,zaria,maiduguri,hadeija he used the following elevations:

loboru 12m

ibadan 211m

kano 440m

kaduna 625m

zaria  634m

maiduguri 310m

hadeija  358m
in comparing benin and hadeija,he used the following elevations:

benin 82m

hadeija 357m
[/b]the higher the elevation,the smaller the picture(population),the lower the elevation the bigger the picture(population),in other words he uses higher elevation for northern populations and lower for southern populations. the arguement between northern population and southern population will linger on but if we must let us atleast use facts without manipulation to suit our purposes

[b]NOTE all these elevations can be checked on the lower right corner of the pics he posted himself

I do not understand him either. he Post those pics on every Topic.

I tried it on Hadejia and Benin city, and it is correct, Benin city is far more populated than Hadeji.
Hadejia can be covered with the same elevation that only some portion of Benin city can be covered. You need to understand what he means before arguing with him, but for Hadejia and Benin city, it is correct.
Here is my result.

from those two maps you posted the elevation of benin is 82m and that of hadeija is 357m (that shouldnt be that difficult for you to figure out considering you can actually see the road network in the benin picture

you can actually go to google and zoom these pictures depending on how the arguement suits you

Why did I even open this thread sef?
