SmartyPants:


That is the population of Lagos city my friend.

napoleon77:


So what is the population of Lagos State? And what really constitute Lagos City? is it just Lagos Island? or it includes Lagos Mainland?

The original poster got his details wrong. If not, let him post the official census figures for Nigerian states

pandax:


Since when did Lagos become a city?. The last i checked Lagos is a state like Rivers, Kano, Anambra etc

SmartyPants:


3m is not a small number... but if you are sure the figure is wrong then why not provide the correct figure along with a reputable source?

RockHard:


Well, as far as I am concerned, anywhere that has a population of 500,000 and above is qualified to be considered a city. The city (or Oyo town as some prefer to call it) is host to a lot of hotels and resorts, private businesses, and educational institutions including Federal College of Education (Special), Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, a private owned university by the Anglican Communion of Nigeria, Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo (ACU), and Federal University of Surveying.

napoleon77:


As far as you are concerned?

SmartyPants:


If you assert that he got his details wrong, then you must prove that by posting the correct ones. Otherwise what is the basis of your assertion that he is wrong?? Mere gut feeling? He has provided a source, where is your own evidence?

napoleon77:


Ok. Is his source more credible than the website of the Nigerian Population Commission?

SmartyPants:


Ol boy, where is your source?

Besides this is 2009 data? How is it relevant?

SmartyPants:


For what year is this?

wellmax:
Lies lies, it is we Igbos that populated those cities

folem:
If you believe in these outlandish figures, you are on your own.

Lagos State is less than half of the quoted figures.

napoleon77:


Lol. So the original posters post is from a more recent census in Nigeria? You feel his website is more authentic than the website of NPC? If yes, then I rest my case. But I know that you know better.
