Insult to intelligence
The larger population of the North is an elephant
in the Nigerian living-room. According to the last
disputed census of 2006, there are 75 million
Nigerians living in the North and 65 million in the
South. This is balderdash! As long as we
continue to accept such blatant lie, there can be
no true democracy in Nigeria. Electoral results
must continue to be falsified to conform to it. As
long as we continue to entertain such outright
falsehood, we shall continue to be subjected to a
“born to rule” mentality on the part of some
mischievous Northern politicians.
The assertion that there are more people in the
North than in the South is an insult to intelligence
and commonsense. All over West Africa, the
coastal states are more densely and highly
populated than the arid desert hinterlands.
Nobody has been able to come up with a
reasonable reason why Nigeria would be the only
exception to this rule. Most of the people in Egypt
live on a strip along the Nile River. But in Nigeria,
we are meant to believe most of the people live in
the desert.
Some make the case that Northern polygamy
leads to more births. If so, why are there only 30
million people in Saudi Arabia, a country more
than twice the size of Nigeria? The Saudis are
also polygamous. If there are so many more live-
births in the North than in the South, this should
be reflected in children immunization programs:
but it is not.
Everything we know about demographics
contradicts the inflated population of the North
relative to the South. The economic opportunities
in the South far outweigh those in the North. That
means economic migration is bound to be
southward and not northward. The states with
the highest internally generated revenues all come
from the South; while eight of the last ten are
from the North. No Northern state features in the
top ten.
Mythical Kano
The North regularly trots up Kano as the largest
state of the federation, but there is no doubt that
this is also pure fiction. There is no way that
there can be more people in Kano State than in
Lagos State or even Oyo State. Let me be even
more categorical. Kano cannot be as populous as
Ibadan. Kano cannot even have half the
population of Lagos.
We were told Kano State was bigger in population
than Lagos State. Then Jigawa State was carved
out of Kano in 1991. But lo and behold, the
remaining rump of Kano was still bigger than
Lagos. In 1991, we were told there were 5.8
million people in Kano State, while 5.7 million
were in Lagos. In 2006, Kano was awarded a
population of 9.4 million; more than Lagos which
was given 9.1 million.
In the meantime, Jigawa was awarded 4.3 million
people in 2006. If this were to be believed, it
would mean Kano (including Jigawa) had
outpaced Lagos by more than four million people
by 2006. That is impossible. Moreover, Kano was
awarded 44 local government areas; Jigawa 27
and Lagos only 20.
Why any right-thinking person would believe Kano
State has more people than Lagos State is
beyond me. For years, the total amount of
internally generated revenue in Kano was less
than 6 billion naira a year. In the last year or so,
it is now averaging 20 billion. But get this: the
internally generated revenue in Lagos is 219
billion naira. So why would people be moving to
Kano instead of Lagos? Where are the jobs in
Kano to attract them relative to Lagos?
Why would more people keep moving to Kano
where there is insurgency; from Maitasine to
Boko Haram, relative to Lagos where there is
none? The answer is simple. The large population
of Kano relative to Lagos is bogus. It is pure
fiction! If there were more people in Kano than in
Lagos, it would show up, for example, in waste-
generation. How much waste does Kano produce
relative to Lagos? The answer is only a fraction.
How many houses and physical structures are
there in Kano relative to Lagos? There is no
comparison. Google satellite maps show a
concentration of people and houses in Kano city
centre. Everywhere else is sparsely populated.
This is not the case with Lagos. It is not the case
with Ibadan. It is not the case with Aba. If there
are so many people up North, where are the
people? Where do they live? Which vehicles take
them from A to B? How many of these vehicles
are in Kano relative to Lagos? Only a fraction!
Magical Zamfara
Precisely because we have accepted the lie of
Northern population supremacy over the South,
Attahiru Jega and his INEC cohorts decided to
sneak further falsehood past us. Having
discovered far more double-registration of voters
in the North than in the South, INEC still went
ahead to create additional polling units, allocating
a disproportionate number of these to the North.
However, the very audacity of INEC in the
attempted perpetration of this fraud has brought
to light certain anomalies in the 2011 elections,
especially as it relates to the North-West.
INEC’s recent cleanup exercise of the voters
register is a big indictment of the North. INEC
discovered that there are far more double-
registration of voters in the North than in the
South. The greatest fraud in this regard is
committed in the North-West, and the most
fraudulent state in the country turns out to be
Zamfara.
Sokoto and Zamfara states border the Republic of
Niger. Niger Republic is 19 times bigger than
Sokoto and Zamfara put together in land area.
And yet, we are meant to believe that in 2006,
Sokoto and Zamfara had a combined total
population of 6.9 million; more than half of Niger
Republic’s population of 12.9 million.
Zamfara’s fictitious population in the 2006 census
was 3.2 million. Nevertheless, INEC registered 2
million voters for Zamfara for the 2011 elections.
That means 62.5% of the people in Zamfara
registered to vote. (This is roughly equal to the
64% of people who registered to vote in the 2012
elections in the United States; a country of far
higher voter-awareness and socialisation). This is
fraud of the highest order for the simple reason
that 62.5% of the population of Zamfara cannot
be eligible to vote.
The voting age in Nigeria is 18 years. According
to U.N. demographics, 44% of Nigerians are
below the age of 15. This means under no
circumstances can 50% of the population
anywhere in Nigeria be said to have registered to
vote in any election. It is not surprising therefore
that although INEC registered 2 million voters for
the 2011 elections in Zamfara, the same INEC
discovered in its clean-up exercise this year that
1.1 million of those voters (over 50%) were
fraudulent; the result of double registration.
Voodoo results
That means only 914,886 of the names on the
Zamfara register could be verified as not
pertaining to double registration. (This does not
tell us how many of the remaining names are
fictitious). But then get this: according to INEC
records, 927,219 people voted in Zamfara in the
2011 presidential election; mostly for Buhari. That
means more votes were cast in Zamfara than the
total number of legitimately-registered voters,
according to the revelation of INEC’s clean-up
exercise.
Let us put this in stark terms. It means,
according to INEC, over 100% of the Zamfara
electorate voted in 2011. What malarkey! By the
time we factor in the fictitious names that must
have been in the register, we can see that the
figures coming out of Zamfara have nothing
whatsoever to do with reality. In Zamfara, there is
procedural inflation of figures pertaining to
population and elections.
This gives us an idea of how fraudulent the
North-West of Nigeria is with regard to
population and electoral figures. This is not to
say that manipulation and falsification of figures
is not standard operational procedure in other
states of the federation, but INEC revealed that it
is most exaggerated in the North in general and
in the North-West in particular.
It is not surprising therefore that, in the 2011
presidential election, there were 10.6 million
“voters” from the North-West alone; twice the
number of voters from either the South-West (4.6
million) or the South-East (5 million). This is
preposterous, and is nothing but one big lie!

Can the mods please do the needful on this annoyingly pathetic folk above me?





This is really an eye opener, though, it's no news that the north have always been fraudulent on issues concerning national population, and in fact, virtually everything thing in Nigeria

Thank God for freedom of information- everybody can now talk.

Your intent is to promote disaffection at a section of Nigeria. We are not fooled. Did this topic interest you in July, August ... 2013, 2012. Peddlers of ethnic strife, too late, sorry. The bum in aso rock has to go.

You can drive for over a hundred kilometres in some part of northern hemisphere without seeing a settlement. They seems to mistake landmass with population in Nigeria.
