No it is not. French scientist used satellite imaging to confirm its not. I believe I read the article sometime around 2014. But if I have time, I will find it. Also Nigerian census was supposed to happen in 2016 and GEJ administration was trying to implement digital ID card> This would have helped verified the real population of Nigeria but Rabui Kwakanso and other northern politicians fought against it. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Inspiring226: Na you tok am You know the age long fraud called Nigeria is its phantom population in it's sahel region. Throughout West Africa, the sahel region is sparsely populated EXCEPT in Nigeria! Where the more than double the population of people are living in arid semi deserts of the sahel than the population in the rainforests If it were true, several scientific studies would have been published on how human have metamorphosed to adapt to dry arid environments even more than wet rainforests If you want to know the truth about the phanthom population of northern Nigeria, stop distributing money based on population figures. Then suddenly, some northwest and northeast states currently claiming 10 million people will suddenly claim less than 1 million, then say the rest 9 million went to Cameroon or Sudan 6 Likes 1 Share |

Flier: When 1 man marries 4 wives, he is simply denying 3 other men potential wives. Marrying more than 1 wife is not equal to having more population. If 1 man marries more than one wife, the children he produces with those women are equivalent to the children that those women could have produced if they had married other men in monogamous relationship. This creates an artificial scarcity of women for younger men who are very vulnerable and can be easily promised 72 virgins in heaven. Also take note that China has been the most populous country for centuries yet they were majorly a monogamous society. 16 Likes 5 Shares |

ZKOSOSO:Lol,why are you like this? Islam accept marriage to 4 wives,if you can Carter for the wives. In Nigeria, even the poorest of poor that can't Carter for himself is having More than two wives and bear more than 9-16 children. Secondly, Islam is strongly against abortion and family planning,so couples tend to have more children than earlier planned. In the middle belt which is a blend of traditionalists, Christians, Muslims and the must multilingual part of Nigeria, polygamy is highly practiced and most ppl gives birth without spacing. 3. Ignorance/poor education. Insufficient or lack of the right information about child spacing and planned care parenthood is also a factor. In the light of the above, the north is more populated than the south as there's a Sharp variation to those parameters in the southern Nigeria. 1 Like |

This region in circle is known as the Sahel region. It's inhabited by Muslims, some of whom marry upto 4 wives or more. Yet, If you travel to various countries in west Africa that share the Sahel region, their population is low and sparse. The only country in Africa ( and on Earth) that breaks that logic is Nigeria. It doesn't take rocket science to know that there is a big fraud going on. 9 Likes

Ask for a census and find out. Blue3k: |
Re: Is Northern Nigeria Really More Populated Than Southern Nigeria? by horsepower102: 3:21am On Sep 16, 2020 |
Blue3k: Agree with you but those in power dont want a census to happen. Also it being the 21st century and with the BIo ID technologies that we have today, it might be harder to manipulate population numbers as they used to be able to do in the past. So those in power see a real census as a deal breakers so the excuse now is that there is no money. 1 Like |

Lol you guys have some dumb hot takes. I personally doubt if the north has bigger population but claiming it doesn't have huge population because it's a desert is dumb. Lol Egypt is a desert yet it has 98 million people some how because of the Nile. The River Benue and Niger make Nigeria's huge population possibe. 2 Likes

Blue3k: You are being disingenuous by not factoring in the Nile river which the bulk of Egyptian population congregates around. Where is the Nile river equivalent in the Sahelian part of Northern Nigeria. And please dont tell me river Niger because river Niger within Nigeria passes through the middle belt/ North central and not the sahelian part of the North. There is no great river in the sahelian part of Northern Nigeria yet their population is very high on paper and far greater than the other sahelian regions of other west and central African countries. Please Read my analysis carefully before you respond. 5 Likes |

Blue3k you just educated me on something I wasn't aware of. I didnt know sokoto and Kanu had major rivers around them. I humbly bow to your verifiable evidence. In that case they might be able to sustain a major population but why are they not willing have a census. Why the fear. 2 Likes |

horsepower102: I dont think anyone in general cares about the census. Major politicans havent made it an issue in a long time. The only thing knowing the population effects is the allocation distribution. It's doubtful it means anything electorally.

As a Geographer, how the people living in Sahel and Sahara region managed to outnumber the rainforest inhabitants still remains a mystery to me. Some people here are busy arguing dat they marry 4 wives and bear 20 children, not knowing that death rate over there is at per with birth rate. moreover, Niger, Chad, Mali and Mauritania that also practice the same polygamy has a minimal population. |

How many children do the OP parents have? Mallam Audu beside my house has three wives and fifteen children. Your sisters are still single at 30 years, Hausa-Fulani girls are married at 12 years. You and your friends ate still single at 40 years, 22 years Hausa-Fulani Okada riders have three wives and eight children already.
