South West!

Good

Will comment later

Not surprised.

God bless ya OP.
What a valuable information.

Jesu!! The Gap between the South West and the other regions is so huge, it is not even funny.
And these people said Lagos was 9 Million in 2006, but active phones alone don almost double official population figure for Lagos loool.
Same goes for Ogun and Oyo.....
Nigerian government kind of lies are not common sense lies, even a toddler will know when they see it.

Lagos is nothing less than 25 Million, Ogun and Oyo are no less than 10 Million and the South west as a whole is no less than 57 Million people if almost 44 Million of the people there can afford to keep their phone lines active, not to mention all those remote villages in Northern Oyo, Ilaje and Ijebu creeks and near the Benin borner that have no cell coverage. (Multiple lines notwithstanding, I would have said 65 Million)

God bless ya OP.
What a valuable information.

God bless SW

From this info, one could also deduce albeit vaguely the purchasing power of the people. This is because na the person wey chop well na im go remember say im want call or even browse the internet.

Lailai, person wey no chop well no go even remember say im get phone talkless of making calls or browsing.

The Ks states still leading northern part of the country.

The South East is not as populated as most people think at all..... 10.27% of active phone lines?..... lol haba.
Anyway... wetin I know... goes back to chewing Akidi and Okpa

some individuals have got multiple SIM NUMBERS, but then we have never had an accurate census figures as a nation

These are not population census figures.

They are active phone lines and internet subscriptions.

The figures include people with multiple phone lines and offices.

Population census is a head count.

Lago should have been a stand-alone like the FCT.

porka:

I know about multiple sims, and I mentioned it.
I am not saying the figures are exact with population in each state, but it gives a general figure.
If you believe the last population census figures for Lagos (9 Million) and Some other states then you are on your own o.

Chukazu:
Lago should have been a stand-alone like the FCT.

Why?
Lagos is a state within a region, FCT is a Territory where we all go to collect cash and do political stuff.
not exactly the same now.

lagos ogun oyo in top 5.....
yorubas r a great ppl....their land attracts the best things in nigeria

OmoIgala:

Anyway... wetin I know... goes back to chewing Akidi and Okpa

and who is interested in having kids you can't take care of in the South East just to increase revenue sharing from Abuja?
sorry we aren't desperate for such..we are not much but we make the most impact

Yes, a hardworking man does not stay at home. His statistics counts at his place of work.

Stop beating your chest over statistical figures that constitutes over 50% of foreigners.

Everyone knows that for every 1 Yoruba man in SE, there are 10,000 Igbo men in SW.

Respect to all hardworking Igbos all over the world.

Guy, I no dey fight you na... I have Igbo cousins.
Am jus saying dat I am surprised by the figure for South East, because so many igbos have been saying on other thread that they are the most populated tribe in Nigeria. Also this is not an issue of having many children, the southeast has always being the least populated region in Nigeria.
Also, apart from women in the far North, do you have any evidence to show that Igbo women have less children than other tribes in the south? I dont think so because i know Ibos very well.

And what exactly is the impact you make the "most" according to you



Yeye dey smell. I dey wait

Bayelsa should be merged
It should be made a local government with Dick as part-time adminstrator

Ekiti! very useless! it should be merged with another SW state and divide it into two local governments(i.e ekiti ado-ekiti), and make fayose the chairman in on of them(local governments)..

Shioor.. 50% foreigners ko, 100% Aliens ni.
those figures for the SW you see there is nothing less than 85% Yoruba. And Lagos is the ony reason it is even that low. All other tribes have the other 15%
You better go think of how to save ur region from massive brain and labour drain

where is Lalasticlala sef....
