How Is The Desert North More Populated Than The Tropical South? by Blue3k(m): 9:48pm On Jan 04, 2022 |
Certain people like to ask how can desert northern Nigeria be more populated that tropical southern Nigeria. That argument rest on two false premises that are easily be refuted with common sense or some basic research. Northern Nigeria isn’t a desert and most of Nigeria is tropical savannah. Nigeria also has extensive river system that can easily support its large population. Note none of this tells which population is larger at any given time that’s why the census is conducted. A desert is a place that gets less than 250 mm of rain per year. (Map below) Most of northern Nigeria is Tropical wet and dry climate type with semi-arid climate in the northern most parts of the northwestern and northeastern Nigeria. Only a sliver of Borno is desert at the border of Niger Republic. (Map below) List of major Northern cities and avg yearly rainfall: Kano, Kano – 674 mm Jos, Plateau - 1240 mm Ilorin, Kwara - 852 mm Abuja FCT - 1469 mm Kaduna, Kaduna – 998 mm Maiduguri, Borno – 466 mm Bauchi, Bauchi – 1122 mm Sokoto, Sokoto – 398 mm Yola, Adamawa – 624 mm Minna, Niger – 1161 mm Lafia, Nasarawa – 1061 mm Jalingo, Taraba – 602 mm Katsina, Katsina – 437 mm Mubi, Adamawa – 853 mm Makurdi, Benue – 983 mm Gombe, Gombe – 437 mm Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi – 467 mm Gusau, Zamfara – 577 mm Dutse, Jigawa – 638 mm Lokoja, Kogi – 1167 mm

The North has a strong population-breeding program that comes from Islamic teachings and fundamentalism. This is the sole reason it has more population 5 Likes |

Op thanks for this question. The north should prove us wrong with facts. Even in classification of world population......... Northern Nigeria falls in sparsely populated region.......same as mountainous regions and also thick Forest region like Amazon. Region closer to the coast tends to have More population in Ocummenical standard. It's only in Nigeria that you gonna see the opposite..... 2 Likes |

babasolution: The mischievous population figure of Nigeria remined one of the reasons behind the January 15, 1966 coup in Nigeria. However, certain goons from southern Nigeria joined forces with northern region against eastern region of Nigeria. Most foolish folks from southern Nigeria will love to suffer as long as Ndigbo are held down too. 1 Like |

![]() Let us start with definition What is "NORTH" Northern Nigeria was a political administrative colony of Britain Northern Nigeria does not correspond to Geographical North LOOK AT THE MAP GEOGRAPHICAL North of any space is determined by drawing a line LATITUDE/EQUATOR through the MIDDLE of the space dividing it EQUALLY 50:50 The geographical north of Nigeria will involve a latitude going through Abuja Dividing the country 50:50 The Geographical South of Nigeria will include Kogi Nasarawa Kwara Plateau Taraba Adamawa Political North is different from Geographical North. Oyo is more Northern Geographically than Benue In other words the Geographical South has 22 or 23 states And so the the population of the Geographical South is way higher than that of the Geographical North So your premise is wrong FACTUALLY With regard to the North being a desert? What is the basis for this how do you explain a desert producing more food than NON_DESERT Recent activities of bandits in the Norths tell us they are "HIDING IN FORESTS" How is that possible in a desert Your thread is based on sentiment, hate and other irrational emotions 2 Likes

North wey i serve? place wey you fit dey turbo for road close to 2 hours and you no go even see one single community. Na only urban centers (wey dey overpopulated) and small villages (wey dey scarcely populated) dey there. I travelled from Benue through Nasarawa to Kaduna using old road, you no go even see people or houses for more than 90% of the journey. Population oshi. 1 Like |

Landlord97:This is sentimental nonsense with no evidential basis How do you explain the population of Nigeria compared to the rest of Africa or even West Africa? There is no "pattern" across the globe How come this "desert" is exporting food to the rain forest? How do you explain all the "forests" where bandits are hiding? The simple truth is that geographically the south of Nigeria has 22- 23 states and not the 17 that are in the Political south |
Re: How Is The Desert North More Populated Than The Tropical South? by Blue3k(m): 11:55am On Jan 05, 2022 |
aribisala0: Lol your comment is nonsensical when its already proven the north no matter how you define it isn't a desert. I already explained what a desert is and gave you the avg annual rainfall of major northern cities and map showing avg rainfall across the country. You're projecting if you're claiming my thread is based on emotion when you didn't debunk on fact I presented just strawman arguments I never claimed. Geographical north is arguments is interesting but irrelevant when you know geopolitical regions are being discussed. |
