this means population of a state doesn't depend on the land mass or surface area? Ok. Sudan has the largest surface area in africa but still 9ja got the highest number of people

From this, l can deduct that owning a farm in Ogun state with a market focus on Lagos, which is over half of Kenya's population will be lucrative, cutting off the long distance haulage of some crops from the North. Nna men, this is business o! grin

They are the smallest region and yet gully erosion has taken half of their land again. The remaining half of the half is red mud.

We are now wondering why Red Musters keep running away from their cursed land? Why will they not want a place to be called a no man's land, when theirs is a cursed one.
