Nigeria's real geographical centre lies somewhere in Southern Kaduna about half way between Abuja and Jos, while Nigeria's demographic/Population center lies below the Niger river in western Kogi state around Kabba town.

If Nigeria's population center is lower than it's geographical center, then how is the north more populated than the south?
Shouldn't the higher northern population pull the population center closer to the north? why is the population center closer to the south then?

We all know for example that the north has a much larger landmass than the south and that shows in where the geographic center is being inside the north, even higher than Abuja. Therefore the location of the population center should also indicate what the population spread of the country is actually like.

Yoruba people, you are blessed, Wallahi...

You have international border, ocean and coastal line, river Niger banks, hills, valleys and rivers, lakes, streams and forests. You have four climate regions - savannah, tropical forest, jungle forest and seaward weather.

Who else in Nigeria has these all in one combination? Give glory to Edumare!

The so called population of the north is a myth. It's not exactly true. Nigeria uses landmass to judge population not actual figures

According to this map, does it means that the South carries the population while the upper north carries the geographical space?
