In other words, Hausa/Fulani - 32% and North - 36%. One third of all regions. .

The coming '2016 national population census' will tell better, thank God it will be under the watchful golden eagle eyes of GEJ and someone (name with held). This time no cows or rams will be counted or figures allocated to sm ppl, till then sha. God bless Nigeria.

This is completely ridiculous!!

Jona ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
North takes pole position on my analysis

Do you disagree that North is more populated than South? I sincerely believe it is.

I agree with you. Let us be factual for once, those guys are more populated than the south. They produce babies like rats, couple with poverty and early marriage, without birth control.

How can SE with its small landmass be comparing her population with the North? They believe because they are densely populated, they are more, without taking into cognizance the landmass.

If you put 5cubes of sugar in a teaspoon and 8 in pot, it does not mean the sugar in the teaspoon is more, just that the space is occupying is more dense and saturated, than the other.

the percentage assigned to Hausa and Fulani is just plain nonsense.

they dies like rats too and that should be considered as well.

We're not talking about land mass here but people. Igbo can't be only 18% abeg.

Give us regionalism and 100% resource control. Let each region(despite the population) cater for itslef

Sealeddeal: they dies like rats too and that should be considered as well.

Be that as it may, their birth rate surpasses their death rate in large proportion.

A kid that gets married at 12 will have 8kids by age 30, how many of such case exists in the south?

I believe that of North,those people sabi born pikin+they marry @ their early age!

Colonial records have Igbo as 50% of the total sum of all of southern Nigeria. If you're in Nigeria you will see it with your own eyes, people need to stop selling myths.

What a joke!!!

Bwhahahahaaaa

ibos making up the highest number of refugees and internally displaced persons in Nigeria does not necessarily mean you have the highest population figure

barcanista: What a joke!!!

The thing sef funny me.
Ijaws 2% LMAO.
Anway, i am less concerned. What i want is True federalism, regionalism and resource control

They always rely on jokes. As for the emboldened, I am confident that we shall get there soon. Beside, take a look @ this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1907251/major-jasper-isaac-adaka-boro

Then, why are they afraid of credible census?
It's only in Nigeria desert is more populated than rain forest.
So unfortunate.

It is true. Remember the Biafran war reduced Igbo population in millions while we are dispersed consisting a sizeable chunk of other regions today. Maybe if ethnicity is included, Igbos might actually be the most populous but I doubt it can be done with present reality.

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO: Give us regionalism and 100% resource control. Let each region(despite the population) cater for itslef

you should as well ask for total division of Nigeria.

barcanista: What a joke!!!

Which one is a joke?
18% allocated to Igbos?
