Akanbi_edu:

I was about to create a post looking for you. Was wondering whether you were caught in the Baga crossfire.

Had to scrutinize the post above to confirm that the operator hasn't changed. With the bolded, all doubts have been eliminated.

Welcome back my "threatening" friend.

Yeah they used it in primary schools but it seems you need one now for asking me the meaning of what I wrote.

Why do you people continue to find creative ways to whine instead of taking the bull by its horns and defeating your political enemies by playing by the rules? Your definition of "NAIRA" is pitiful. Nobody go give una free Presidential ticket, learn to build meaningful coalitions first. olodo

Do you mean the way Ijaws have taken the bull by the horn, playing by the rule and dancing to the same tune as you guys with violence, threats and counter threats? I guess we still have a long way to go.

That was a cheap shot at the Ijaws. You people need to learn to get along with your neighbors and earn their respect and votes instead of running around directing snide remarks at them.

Stop pretending to be a dummy, you know what I am talking about. Come out of the bush and learn how to participate in democracy.

Don't even have time to read through to the end to say that this man is off his rocker, though I am not surprised to observe how shallow he and his ilk are; greed and blind hatred has them bereft of any logical thinking.
If to him, human population is determined by desertification or forestation then by that logic the AMAZON should be the most densely populated place on earth. SMH cry

The North comprises light rain forest and guinea savanna in the Niger/Benue area to Sudan savanna to Sahel savanna. There was no desert in Nigeria in the past but desert encroachment has reached the uppermost north in recent years. The population of Nigeria is totally a fraud and Bayelsa as a State cannot be more than 300,000 people. Nigeria's real population is below or just around 100million people. The North is more populous than South because of massive migration of Southerners to North. The West is 2nd mainly because of migration of many Nigerians to the Lagos area. The 3 most populous cities remain Lagos, Kano and Ibadan but Port-Harcourt will displace Kano and Ibadan before 10years. If place of origin is used in census, the most populous State is definitely Anambra closely followed by Imo and Akwa-Ibom.

sakaguchi: Well, in regards to the title of this piece, I would defer as I think being in a desert country doesn't necessarily mean sparse population, Kano is reputed for its colossal human head right from pre-colonial times, it is a commercial city and trade as helped in sustaining its population over the years. Even before the ingress of Europeans to Nigeria, Kano has being an important route for the trans-sahara trade route. Well, enough with the history here, just go to Kano today and you will still know that its population is gross. That being said, I cannot categorically tell you that the current figures in Kano are correct, that does not only apply to Kano at the first place, the figures in Nigeria are not incontrovertible. Kaduna also have lots of industries that supports its burgeoning population, and to the question of desert country or not, Cairo is one of the most populous African/Arabian city and it is @ the cross-bridge between the Sahara and Arabian desert.
The River Nile sustains the population of Cairo.

if u put ethno-religious sentiments aside(i know this is not easy) and allow logic to prevail,
are we saying that cities like ilorin, lokoja, makurdi(which is 2hrs from enugu), jos, abuja taraba which are all classified northern cities are deserts?
2. every historian knows dat kano is ancient massive trading city rivalling timbuktu in mali,gao in ghana n cairo. kano definitely ranks as one of d biggest cities in naija whether we like it or not d hugeamount southerners doing biz there attests to this!

Fact : the census figures ,like every other thing ,is rigged.
Fact :how OBJ handed power to an unsophisticated clannish dolt who surrounds himself with equally doltish people is one of the greatest mysteries of the nigeria .
The fear that he may have lit the fuse for the violent balkanisation of the country is .......................I rest my case

Very interesting, Thou I believe kano has a false and inflated population, it would still be considered to be a large city. Someone did a calculation that throws light on the population per square km. Kano should be around 3-6 million and nothing more.
The most important factor is not population density nor north/south but rather how the country can maximise efficiency and get everyone contributing rather than taking.

Kano has a rich history as a trading post in textile etc. Why not rejuvinat some of the old trades

It doesn't matter how many women a man marries rather the number of available women ready to bear children.

Do you think there are more women ready to procreate in the North than in the South irrespective of how many men servicing them?

Think again

...i keep wondering what this fraud called Nigeria is all about!During employments and admission into higher institutions,you are asked your state of origin and then catchment area becomes a factor.Then in this same country during census,you are nt allowed to state your state of origin and religion,so that you are assumed to be from the state were you reside.This to me,is the biggest fraud of all time....thesame census figures will then be used to make projections by federal govt during allocation of certain social amenities and other facilities to the state,which i was fraudulently counted in and which i may nt have the same right as the indigenes!...i guess the igbos shld be the largest in Nigeria,going by their mobility level!

I've always thought the population distribution in Nigeria is a fraud especially those of the North. I don't know how any sane being can agree that Kano has more population than Lagos. Check the population figures of Nigeria pre-civil war and compare it to what we have now and you'll see an astronomical disparity.

dayokanu:

For your education, According to the UN, Cairo, Khartoum and Mogadishu have over 5 million population

It's either you are dumb or simply don't understand english, Khartoum is the capital so regardless the climate it has more chance and everything to attract a big population, same with mogadishu.

What the dude you quoted is the truth, your north can't b that populated and ours is not, esp with porous borders...

British colonial masters left us with a fraud called Nigeria and the biggest of the frauds is northern region. All the right-thinking people in the contraption called Nigeria should endeavor to destroy the compound fraud called Nigeria. Nobody in Republic of Igbo land should give a hoot about hunger epidemic will ravish Islamic Republic of Sokoto Caliphate due to over population. Asari Dokubo would have no audience listening his yarning about over-populated Republic of Ijo nation.

^^^I feel provoked but will not respond in the same kind but would offer this advice: why not start by mobilising all your ppl relocate to igboland and when you succeed in that then we'll know you ppl are serious and may have cause to go on your own - its just a small test to show your resolve, prove it.

^^^^ Only a compound dunce will be provoked because a person has opinion that expresses the need for sovereign status of his people. I never asked for the obliteration of people who would eventually call Islamic Republic of Sokoto Caliphate a home.

I guess you need to recheck the historical facts about Nigeria from 1966 to date.

I never made such claims against you but evidently your guilt is obviously pushing you to confess your innermost thoughts for all to see.
Yeah, I'll always feel provoked by such uncharitable reference to my region as a fraud and now my person as a dunce, particularly in view as I never also questioned your right of self expression as you wrongly adduced but only the insolence.

Well, for a region devoid of natural resources in comparison with their southern counterpart,and a region overwhelmed with the most influencial and volatile set of people since the civil war it shouldn't come as a surprise if demographic figures are overbloated in their favor in order to attract more monthly allocations.
Now, the issue of amnesty is a bad idea, when this bloody appeasement tool was initiated it wasn't such a bad idea to compensate murderers for being murderers, I might as well just initiate my own group too and focus my attacks on the political class.

As for the issue with that boaster Amaechi, you wonder how such a guy was able to win best governor of the year some time ago despite how terribly "unbeautiful" portharcourt has become under him. Asari, conspiracy is here to stay and a person such as yourself are of a questionable persona as well. GBAM!
