REAL TRUTH:

@Becomerich,,,someone had already warned me earlier on as regards ur graphical cum Map Illustration,,,my guy you get me even more confused,,,what has Naija's population got to do with Togo and Republic of Benin
 Bottomline is that,,,its highly irresponsible of our leaders not having the ability to categorically state what our population figure is,,,Many years back,,,there was this estimation that out of every four Africans,,,you would find a Nigerian,,,that is to say Nigeria's population is a quarter of Africa,,,Therefore,,Africa's population has been adjudged to be slightly over a Billion now,,,
 A rough and quick mathematics would put Nigeria at probably around 250Million or above,,,,if the Government fails to address this issue,,,Nigeria would continue to face unprecedented social,moral,environmental and structural problems,,,,In a serious country,,there is the need to determine the number of people that should reside in a locality or square metre,,,take for instance ajegunle and agege in lagos,,,these areas are far far more than over populated,,,Ajegunle alone is bigger than Jamaica in terms of population,,,Then the whole of Lagos is probably the size of Ghana population wise,,,,,,I just am wondering if people THINK in that country at all,,,
 Yet you would see people getting pregnant and givin g birth to 5 kids,,,wahala dey oooo,,,,

FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA 2006 Population Census

REAL TRUTH:

By the info in that site,,Lagos was said to be 9Million in 2006,,,this is unbelieveable and unacceptable,,,,The population of Ajegunle, Agege,the whole of mile2 towards Okokmaiko and Mushin is more than 9million as at 2006,,,therefore this report is null and void,,,and its repugnant to every reasonable permutations and realities on ground,,,

New voters register puts Lagos figure = 4,204,000 , a little below the previous figure of 4,558,216

Latest Analysis from Lagos "Census" will now be:

Age 0 -5 = 3.19 Million
Age 6 -17 = 2.06 Million
Age 18 - above = 4.20 million
TOTAL = 9.45 Million.

Given that some people left Lagos during the census and that only 98 % of Nigerians was claimed to be counted by N.P.C., It is plausible that Lagos is indeed 9.01 Million.


The figures above are the "human figures" (as opposed to Vehicles, Buildings & Satellite Pictures) being used by Lagos State to disprove The NPC results.

School age for Primary - Secondary School = 6 -18

messiah:

As long as our leaders politicise everything and the masses attach sentiment to trivial things, we can never know the real figure.
I don't know why the Southerners just can't believe the Northerners outnumber them. Hmm, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

What Exactly Is Nigeria's Population?

becomrich;:

abagworo you are telling your normal lie, here is the population of ifewara and others in that local govt,

68 k . so where is the quotal you claim,

Abagworo:

Funny!funny!nigeria is not up to 90 million.i was involved in osun-ifewara in atakunmosa.the figures were inflated 100%.infact we were given target figures that one must meet before being paid.my friend who served in katsina told me same.in the entire country,target population was given prior to the census. We can use school enrollment and registered business to do random estimate but the actual population of nigeria can never be determined anytime soon.

festogift:

can someone give me exatly nigeria population

bashali:

the population of igbo is only 5 million

grafikdon:

No becomerich, you are wrong. It is less than 500,000.




The population of Nigeria is not anywhere close to 120 million, even when you reverse the ''inflation'' and ''deflation'' of the census figures. We also do not have up 100 ethnic groups. Villages, clans, dialects etc are not ethnic groups.

DrKing:

Demographically we need to know Nigerian population disaggregated by gender, age and other inidices basically for the purpose of development. For instance, how do we plan in terms of education without knowing the population age groups in any state or local government area? That's why we do not have daily update list of births and deaths unlike other developed nations. Tradition or nor tradition, we cannot avoid to be achaic in this regard. Presently Lagos State is trying to challenge the last census but with data, ?
