Then why is Saudi Arabia with similar culture just 38m because they have more children and wives.
grin u thought Saudi Arabia have more children and wife's because they're also Muslim... In Saudis Arabia only the rich and powerful can marry more wife and have many kids unlike in the north

In terms of landmass Libya is way bigger than Nigeria. I wonder why Nigeria is way more populated than Libya.
Even Niger with similar culture to Northwest and North eastern part of Nigeria is larger than Nigeria with population of 24.2m

Nigeria can never have a true census as far as population affects resource allocation and political power, no matter what biometrics or technology applied. Restructure the country and let every state/region control its resources and see the magic of population deflation.

Oga good morning. It has nothing to do with politicians been too dull or docile. It is about a particular people way of life. You don't get?

Besides, what on earth will make you think the South is more populated than the North considering the indices i have stated above? Now, right here @ 25 - 35 we are yet to bear children, that is the reality. Up North, @ 25 - 35 some are even having their second wife money or no money. Down South you will even see men of over 50 years who are yet to bear any child, they are waiting to ensure they build a house for both themselves and their mother before they even think of getting married and bear children.

If you have been to the North and have not seen this children then you have still not been to the North. Shey na goat born them?

Which part of the North have you been to?
Which part of the South do you know that is so populated and does not have an influx of the North that makes it so populated?
If you are the governor of your state what will you do differently?

The world is reading!
Do you know the population of Niger republic with similar culture and tradition larger than Nigeria in landmass is just 24.2m

That's the reason why FG made it mandatory to link your NIN to your sim. They also made it mandatory to use NIN when registering for JAMB.
Very soon, it will be impossible to do anything in Nigeria without NIN.

It was so ironic that we Nigerians criticized Nigeria for not having a database and yet still kicked against NIN. Our heads truly nor correct.

You are totally wrong.

If what you wrote was true, there wouldn't be need for planning to spend billions to conduct a census because they can make NIN mandatory and seamlessly count us. It's even funny that there's no room for tribe and religion in the census.

Nigeria is run by old folks who cannot think - no thanks to idiots and bigots who keep voting for them.

This op is surely a bitter clown. Lagos that is not bigger than my LG is the place the clown is comparing with kano state. How many indigenous people reside in Lagos apart from the strangers that made up the bulk majority of the state..

There is no way on this planet earth were people that are secluded in one particular place will be more populated than people that are scattered everywhere. Just because people pack themselves like sardines in Lagos doesn't mean they are more populated than people that are scattered everywhere in a vastly populated geographical location. This is common sense!!

And the clown is even comparing the birth rate(polygamous nature) of the Saudis to that of the northerners. Well, clowns like this are best ignored! Because the man doesn't even know what he is talking about.

Stop being stupid and address the issue. Jigawa was carved out of Kano state with 27 local governments, while Kano was jacked up to 44local governments, whereas before the creation of Jigawa the population of Lagos and Kano were said to be similar. How on earth can Kano and Jigawa have double the population of Lagos state in less than 20 years?

You northerners are so cunny and dubious, that is why the only solution to Nigeria's growth will be the outright dissolution of this failed country or a total restructuring with the regional government. No wonder you always piss in your pants each time restructuring is mentioned

On Monday in my place in Bayelsa state, several okada guys were arrested who were Nigeriens, because one of them killed an Hausa guy. I was shocked to know that these huge number of okada riders were not Nigerians but rather foreigners. I had thought that they were all northerners. So, where is the northern population if these large number of foreigners who impersonate the northerners are residing in this country. And they Ae being used to rig elections. Why aren't the huge numbers attributed to the numbers not do the rigging magic for them?


In reality, there is no effective ways of separating citizens of Niger Republic ,Tchad and Northern Cameroon from Nigerians.

These countries are more or less 37th,39th and 40th States of Nigeria.


I have lived and worked in the North and I know that so many people from these countries move in and out of Nigeria. Some have even joined our Armed Forces.

I've said it before... That Obj statement is nonsense.

Calculate what N100 (assuming everybody spends N100 for food every day) times 300 million persons times 400 years would be. That's N12 trillion. That's more than the entire national budget of of Nigeria from 1999-2007
That's also more than what Nigeria have gotten from crude oil sale during Obj's tenure.
So where did Atiku see the money to steal from?

Even with the clue from the person you quoted you still remain clueless, ignorant and silly. Why is it difficult for you to factor that he was referring to the manipulation of censor figure to benefit a particular people at the expense of Nigeria, or do you expect OBJ a grandmaster of diplomatic words will come out openly in his book and say that Atiku uses his position as VP to jack up the population of the north.

To what benefit will that statement be when his intention was to expose Atiku's criminal act and not to castigate the entire north for what one of their criminal son has done

I don't know why most people are so daft to these reality. A lot don't know that Lagos is the smallest state in the entire country because everywhere is congested they are left to think that Lagos is big. 10 people inside one room and 10 people inside mansion na the same thing?

Speak of what you know and stop embarrassing yourself. The problem with most of you online analyst is that you take online information that are mostly inaccurate just like you have been dishing out here without empirical prove to back your warped argument.

Lagos being small in land mass doesn't mean it's small in population including the indigenous people of Lagos state. For record go and do your research so you'll know Lagos indigene is made of 3tribes. Apart from the early Yoruba settlers and foreigners that swell the population of Lagos state right from inception.

This is entirely different from population of other Nigerians that troop into Lagos every minutes.

With or without people coming to Lagos from other states, Lagos has it's huge indigenous population even larger than many indigenous population from many other states

Reality!
Same way you have strangers and foriegners scattered all over lagos. In the estate where i was in lagos there is hardly maybe just one yoruba tenant the rest of us are strangers likewise almost the entire area. Very few Yoruba people or Lagos indigenes around. Real fact.

During Christmas i hate been in Lagos because it will seem as if almost everybody is gone. Make public holiday reach if you have not observe the exodus movement out of Lagos you have not stayed in Lagos. Real fact!

You are the one that is daft and stupid at the same time if you can't comprehend my explanation that Lagos has it's indigenous people from 3 tribes and equally has early Yoruba settlers as well as returnee from abroad and foreigners as EARLY settlers.
That's on it's own is a huge population higher than many states during those period.

Where did I mentioned from my post that the indigenous people of Lagos is up to 22m.

Population of your state in 1960
State when you state was created and her population when it was created.

While I await your response to my question, Lagos population was 762,000 while Enugu was just 93,000.

That was a pre independence report that indicates Lagos state has huge population before independence, before the influx of people outside the region into the state to tap from it's wealth.

This was a period when Nigeria has not tapped into oil wealth and there were no bridges and FG infrastructure that attracts people from other parts of the region into Lagos.

I don't want to derail the argument just the way you are throwing banters like a child that his sweet is taken away from him

It is more bcoz it includes citizens of nearly 50% of Chad & Niger Republic

Unfortunately you might be right.

2 years ago when i was in the Eastern part of this country doing phone business, I discovered mist of the fulanis had a SIM card of Chad or Niger Republic. We all see them as fulanis but no 1 really cared to know about their origin.

Note: I was closer to them because I helped them fix phones and the likes. Each time they tell me they wanna travel, their Nigerian lines stopped working. As soon as I see them again, the number start going. When I asked them why, they give me a flimsy excuse till when I discovered the SIM in their phone not Nigerian SIM.

I've not even started, I want to prove your foolishness and stupidity before addressing your irritating juvenile delinquency.

The point that I want you to sink into your dull brain is to accept Lagos has always had a huge population irrespective of its small landmass of which the indigenous people make up a large number of the total population.

The indigenous population of Lagos can be compared to other states with similar huge populations that have benefitted from state creation. Example of such state is Kano and Jigawa state.

Another factor you don't know is the RATE of population growth since 1960, while Lagos is growing at an average of 3% we have other states that were growing as high as 6% yet the net growth of Lagos is higher than any other state in Nigeria. That is a prove that Lagos state has always had a huge population since its inception.

It equally proves that the influx of people from the different region only swell the existing population of the state and doesn't remove the indigenous population factor. Being small in landmass doesn't translate to small inhabitants in a coastal terrain like Lagos state
