So you didnt knw that lagos is a country inside another country. Everybody wannna live in lagos. Those figures you see up there re the actual figures. They re more people in ibdan than Ph bcoz it is the second largest yoruba city and that of Abj more populated than Ph, Abj is still the capital of Nigeria the last time i checked.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
Ibadan is not a slum, though you will find lot of rural settlements there but you also find such in other cities like obiagu, most part of abakpa and ugbene in enugu.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
I still find it difficult to believe that okene is more populated than these cities

Makurdi
Owerri
Umuahia
Calabar
Uyo
Awka
Akure
Ijebu ode

is okene more populated than akure and osogbo?

Ooni:
liar!
Learn to say the truth a all times

80% of Ibadan are slum and shanties. My uncle who returned from US went to Ibadan and came back with gory tales. Lets always say the truth. Who knows we might find help someday.

I hate tribal bigots like u.
I am Yoruba and I make bold to challenge u dat Ibadan is more populated than PH. What is Abuja? hissssssssss!!!
The most populated part of Abuja is Nyanya and nothing like population there. Are u counting Maraba and Masaka as Abuja ni?

bloodyBLOGGER:
how long do you want to keep impersonating a Yoruba man?

how much has it added I to your pockets?

RockHard:


First of all, no one cares whether you are Yoruba or not (besides, how does one even prove that? With impostors like Ooni and olaitoro or whatever obviously pretending to be what they're not via their monikers), you are not even presenting any tangible fact to disprove this data, yet you are arguing blindly?? Or are we supposed to just believe you coz you ...say so?? At no point in the history of this country has PH been as populated as Ibadan, not even once, neither will it ever be coz like Movic said earlier, it's the second major/largest city of the second most populous ethnic group (Yorubas) in Nigeria -- many of the important personalities in the region have homes there, from Adenuga, to Fayemi, Fayose, Oba Otudeko, e.t.c. Obviously Abuja is consistently growing owing to its position as the FTC, that's just common sense. Quit arguing blindly abeg.

Whathaveidone:
I don't cosign this list. How did they arrive at the figures?

One bonobo up there said PH is more populated than Ibadan. PH ko

I don't even believe Kano is more populated than Ibadan sef but we gats swallow am anyway

OBAFEMIawolowo:
answer these questions

1. Have you been to okene?

2. Do you think okene is more populated than akure, owerri, calabar and warri?

3. Have you been to onitsha?

4. Do you believe ogbomoso is more populated than Jos, enugu and onitsha?

We need to be truthful to ourselves.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
if we can be truthful to ourselves, the most populous cities will be

Lagos
Kano
Ibadan
Abuja
PH
Aba
Benin
Onitsha
Kaduna
Jos
Enugu

OBAFEMIawolowo:
answer these questions

1. Have you been to okene? No

2. Do you think okene is more populated than akure, owerri, calabar and warri? I don't know and therefore can't make any judgement on that as I've only been to Akure and Warri but not Okene.

3. Have you been to onitsha? Yes, just twice. I think the population of the city is fluid and ever changing due to its commercial character (people go in and out of the city to buy and sell daily), therefore it can be challenging to ascertain exactly how populated it actually is

4. Do you believe ogbomoso is more populated than Jos, enugu and onitsha? Ogbomosho is definitely more populated than Onitsha by my reckoning. And I saying so with emphasis sef. Ogbomosho is the second largest city in Oyo state and very densely populated. Even Saki in Saki West LGA Oyo (if you've been to Porto Novo, then you've prettymuch been to Saki coz they are strikingly similar), which doesn't even feature on the list, by my reckoning may be as or more populated than Akure.

dimieprincess:

Ogbeni eseun o, live the man let him keep hallucinating. It is not just foolish to assert that Abuja is more populated than PH or Okene is in per with Warri. What is in that Okene self, what is the total population of Igbira generally that Okene will have 900, 000. Is it that some person can't think outside the box of tribalism and favouritism?

Ajibel:
The thread reads most populated cities in Nigeria, yet Lagos was listed with an outrageous 21 million inhabitants.

The problem here is some cant differentiate between a City and a State smh.

Movic1:


It is normal to hate. What's the total population of Oyo state and River state before we move further?

Movic1:


If the entire yorubaland is a slum bcoz of bad leaders then Nigeria is also a Slum. Coz Nigeria herself aven't experience any good leadership since she was created....

Whathaveidone:


Na true sef . Why add up the whole Lagos and then split other states into cities

OBAFEMIawolowo:
and i ask myself again ooo, is it not that same okene along abuja road? Haba, people no dey fear God brother.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
well I have been to ogbomoso, onitsha and okene and I say there's no way ogbomoso will be more populated than onitsha. Okene is more of a village than a town, it shouldn't be considered at all.

dimieprincess:

look at the whole population for the two states.
Oyo State . 5,591,589. Rivers State. 5,185,400
as at 2006.
Oyo population is relatively spread across Ibadan, Oyo, Ogbomosho and what have you.
On the other hand, Rivers state population is concentrated in PH. PH has over 70% of the population of the state. So answer me how Ibadan as a town is more populated than PH.
