Most Populated States In Nigeria 2017(estimates) by Codedrock(m): 10:01am On Feb 19, 2017 |
So a national population census was supposed to take place in Nigeria in year 2016 but due to the current economic crisis, the census have been postponed till 2018. So in the mean time, T.I.N Magazine just like last year have gathered figures from various sources showing Nigeria's most populous states. Well, this is an estimation.

There are way more reliable data out there to guide us as to the true picture of things instead of this rubbish guesswork. NBS and the Telcos have made life much easier. http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/report/486 60 Likes 2 Shares

Rockhard's figures are more like it. The idea that any state in Nigeria has a population anywhere close to Lagos is monumental fraud 39 Likes 1 Share |

oduastates: Truth is, only a neutral/independent party's data (like the Telcos') can be relied upon when it comes to this sort of subject matter in the Nigerian context because government-related sources can be easily compromised, for obvious reasons. 37 Likes 2 Shares |

EternalTruths: Nah, that's certainly not the only reason coz the Telcos data shows that even Edo state has more people than Anambra which is clearly the most populous state in the SE. The Ogun and Oyo figures alone sef is more than all the SE states combined according to those stats (doesn't even include Osun, ondo, and Ekiti). I think for some reason the SE region isn't experiencing as much population growth compared to other sections of the country. 34 Likes 1 Share |

Lagos is not the most populated city. The most populated may be the city of Ibadan or Benin. The city of Lagos is small. The port city of apapa and the sport city of surulere are more populated than lagos city Victoria city is bigger than lagos 5 Likes 1 Share |

Having traveled across some of these states in the last one year and some even most recently I think these are just brandies figures from hell! Where are the millions? Haha! I've never believed in the population figure of Nigeria because honestly, its full of unverifiable figures. As at the year I was at katsina state cross crossing the state I didn't see where over 4million people stated by NPC were. Apart from Lagos which resident population(excluding those that just come to trade or come to work from nearby Ogun State) may be around 13-15 million why Ogun state should be over 6million considering the huge number of residents that actually do business in Lagos state. I was still in kano un the last three weeks, taken that the north has more rural dwellers but its hard to believe and in fact, that of Kaduna, Bauchi Jigawa and katsina are completely false!!!! I think if true population of Nigeria is to be determined by accurate census or registration, the top five will most likely look like this: 1. Lagos 2. Ogun 3. Kano 4. Oyo 5. FCT Like I've said it in other forums, I still find it hard to believe that resident population of Kano can be greater than that of Oyo state but I can admit a huge population do come to buy and sell.The one I know is growing so fast is the FCT and alot of people and businesses have relocated to the FCT from the interior of northern Nigeria so you can expect Niger and Nasarawa aroud the FCT to grow. The telecoms active voice calls in each state we must admit is an indication of high business activities which can form critical part in understanding the population and to a large extent determine residential population for non business calls but someone can argue, what about poverty index, the ownership of cell phones can help more, school enrollment, birth registrations and other positive statistics not rolling out rogue figures! 20 Likes 2 Shares |

Killitoff: i cant disagree or argue with you , but what i fail to understand is how non criminals and non evil people will be doing everything humanly under the sun to stay in the same country with criminals and evil people, The problem is never Igbos but you hypocrites , and wolf in sheep clothing who claim to be righteous but want to live with evil people. 29 Likes 2 Shares |
