Gamesmart:Oga stop been an idiot....I thought maybe your sense had started coming together but please feel free to a stay a fool I've moved from you........total Indian population in India alone is 1.4Billion but for your mind it's impossible for 4 generations of Indians in Nigeria and of Nigerian Origin to be up to 800k......for your mind once born they have to wait for aregbesola to confer citizenship on them.....it's just like saying a child born in America will be counted as a Nigerian when they are doing census because they are born to Nigerian parents or carry a second passport...... |

LeonSaab: Different countries have different laws but nowhere in the world is citizenship taken by force. All the Yoruba online shouting that PH, Onitsha, Aba are no man lands, Igbos are dirty, lazy, cowards and etc while working and making a living in Biafra should not be granted citizenship of Biafra because they will pour sand into the gari of Biafra but of course they can work |

Usenokpevbo:for a fact i know that guy acts delusional, he wants his feelings to become reality , but truth is different from feelings, the facts that the igbos alone had 11% of the population of Lagos in 1964 reveals all their lies. I saw the text too and sincerely i was shocked. I had to download the whole material The guy would argue with his life that there are more Yoruba than Igbo in the north , where? North wey i don go? You are in ilesha there talking about North, like you have been there, you that has not left ilesha all your life, at most to Lagos on visitation Here is another revealing point that concerns my previous argument with him 3 Likes 1 Share

LeonSaab: The important part of citizenship is the right to participate in determining the direction and destiny of the nation. In a properly organized world, you need only one. The remaining right of a citizen should be the right to gainful employment but civilization has not reached that level yet but it soon will |

Gamesmart: You could be correct. The statistics are actually about what number speaks those languages at home; it is not about the total number of people of those ethnicities in the US. There are over a million Nigerian-Americans. But if you add the Nigerians in that data set, e no even reach 400,000 because most Nigerians in the USA don’t speak their native languages. And from my experience, Yorubas are more likely than Igbos to maintain and pass their language to their children. 1 Like |

LeonSaab: Only governments of primitive third world countries will need to block workers from entering their country if the whole globe were properly organized. If Ijesa is 2 million in population with 500,000 workers, efficient tax collection will give the government at least 500 million dollars per annum and plans will be made on that. If the population falls the money will not be complete |

Okada691:It is Lagos Island (Lagos for short) that is being refered to in the screenshot that you attached here. That's an estimated 11 percent of the 1964 population of Lagos Island (NOT Lagos State which has a larger landmass). Lagos State only came into existence for the very first time out of the 12 new states the General Yakubu Gowon's government created on May 27,1967. More than 95 percent of the total landmass of what is now Lagos State was carved out of Western Region (Which later evolved into Western State on May 27, 1967) and merged with majorly Lagos Island to form Lagos State for the indigenes. |

Swiftgrp:That is true, there has even been more thorough migrations into every nuke and cranny of Lagos state even . When Lagos state was created in 1967, it was still the capital of the fct for 24 years before it moved to Abuja, nothing changed. Lagos is just about 3000 km2. It’s a very small enclave. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Okada691:Indeed it's a small enclave of 3000 km2 like you indicated... the smallest state in Nigeria, just next to Anambra. But please NOTE that Lagos Island [NOT Lagos State] was the administrative capital of Nigeria from 1914 to 1991. The Lagos which is referred to as the capital of Nigeria or FCT is Lagos Island. Some people [especially the younger ones who have not been paying attention to history] often mistake Lagos State as the capital or FCT, but it was Lagos Island that was the FCT. Lagos Island infact played a DUAL ROLE as the capital of the newly created Lagos State on May 27,1967, AND the administrative capital of Nigeria. It was NOT until 1975 that the CAPITAL of Lagos State was moved from Lagos Island to Alausa in Ikeja. You can read a more DETAILED info BELOW on Lagos Island being the DUAL capital of Lagos State and Nigeria in the past: => https://www.britannica.com/place/Lagos-Nigeria Lagos, city and chief port, Lagos state, Nigeria. Until 1975 it was the capital of Lagos state, and until December 1991 it was the federal capital of Nigeria. Ikeja replaced Lagos as the state capital, and Abuja replaced Lagos as the federal capital. Lagos, however, remained the unofficial seat of many government agencies. |

Swiftgrp:That knowledge is already in the bag, like i said again, it is indeed a very small enclave, just about 3,000km2. There was already a strong overflow and density into other parts of Lagos as a result of overpopulation in the Lagos island. That overflow has even entered Ogun state proper too. As a result, there are huge number of foreigners in shagamu, Sango-Ota and other areas of Ogun state. In fact one of the reasons that made the federal government to relocate was its densely populated atmosphere, it does not make for easy escape when there is an attack. At 3000km2, housing close to 15 to 20 million people, Lagos state is one of the most densely populated places on earth, Lagos island has since filled and there had been a huge sprawl and an overflow into other parts of Lagos and even Ogun state Like i said before, there has been more thorough migrations into every nook and cranny of Lagos state since then. The population of Hausas and Igbos in Lagos state will each create two giant cities of about 4 million each. When you now add the population of Binis, Esan,Urhobos,Ijaw,Efik-Ibibio-Oron-Annang,Idoma,Fulani,Igala,kanuri,Tiv,Nupe,Etsako,Owan, cumulatively that should amount to no less than 5 million people 2 Likes |
