Goofy because it is not bigotry-inspired, lining up all cities in iboland as number 1-20? You are a small pikin and all this days you have been shouting "disintegration of the cesspit" since, now the joke is on you...LWKMD! grin grin grin grin

Couldn't help but notice Oyo State has 3 cities of over 500k. That of Ogbomosho I'm so sure about because I've been there. Port Harcourt is actually above 2million when you add greater Port Harcourt city ie Obigbo, Eleme, Ikwerre and Okrika/Ogubolo.

I can not also equally help but notice that Ogbomosho has a larger population than Enugu and Onitsha, these are cities i have also been to ( i have traveled all the cities in Nigeria ) .

Nigerian statisticians do not stop to amaze me with the statistics the churn out daily to deceive gullible and uninformed Nigerians , From GDP , to university rankings and to this City population ranking .

My instinct tells me there is an orchestrated attempt by a Nigerian Syndicate to upturn every fact and indices they have access to so that it will suit their whims and caprices.

How can one tell that Zaria has more population than Aba
