@Op, if you are giving us this shit for Lagos, then give us the appropriate number for Kano. Stop misinforming the public. Kano should be likened to Ikeja, the capital of Lagos; not bringing-in Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry, etc!

Don't mind him. He just heard Lagos is most populous state & he forged the remaining. There is even argument between Lagos & Kano. Lagos is most populous state not city. Imagine, he mentioned Ogbomoso before ILORIN , ONITSHA, WARRI, ABEOKUTA, MAIDUGURI, JOS, ZARIA & ABA. I believe is from OGBOMOSO.
ogbomosho is always populous dan Ilorin Abeokuta Maiduguri etc

You are on a very long thing. Are you quoting me to feel relevant?

Progressive minded and intelligent people have already moved on to the fact that Lagos is actually about 9-10 million, you are still here bandying about an old figure with wrong breakdowns trying to prove a point i am not interested in.

Who is interested in receiving replies from a slowpoke like you?

All of the places you listing are part of Lagos city (Lagos metropolitan area). A point which i made much earlier on.

You're confusing yourself. The 3 biggest cities in Oyo state are Ibadan, Ogbomoso, & Oyo (town); just as we have Ondo town in Ondo state

Please whats the difference between Oyo and Ibadan. Is Oyo now inside Ibadan, why is Oyo's Population smaller than Ibadan?
have you been to school at all? oyo is a city, ibadan is also a city. The name of the state is oyo state. The capital of oyo state is ibadan, therefore, ibadan city is more bigger and populous than oyo city.

Bros, there are undeveloped areas separating Lagos Mega city and Epe, Badagry, Hence, the two cities are seperate cities in Lagos State. Lagos Mega city is a combination of several LGAs lock together into i big Megalopolis. Yes Kano State is the most populated according to the most recent census ( not that i believe the result) but you have to realize that Kano city is no match for lagos city (megalopolis)
in terms of population.
