Is It True "kano As More Population Than Lagos" by akinwumie(m): 10:11am On Jan 11, 2007
The result of the 2006 Census released shows that kano is more populated than Lagos likewise that of 1991.Is it the land mass they considered or what because have been to both places.In considering Land Mass, Kano has more compared to Lagos, but in population Lagos is still the most popupated in West Africa not even in Nigeria.There palce in lagos that u cannot even determine the number of people.I dont know where they got that report. I think we need to consider this.

It should read, Is It True "kano HAS More Population Than Lagos". Not "AS". Please refrain from bringing in your yoruba accent into real english.

Actually it should read, Is it true? "Kano has a higher population than Lagos". Not "More". wink

lol, Mariory
Btw, since we're all engrossed with grammatical concerns, there's no need for quotations, and it should read <Is it true that Kano has a higher population than Lagos?>

@ Topic,
With regards to the exact numbers, I have no idea if those numbers are accurate. Hell, I haven't even seen them. But my father was one of the directors for the 1991 consensus, and is absolutely sure that Kano does have a higher population than Lagos. Once again, I'm not sure, but I trust that's not a fact he can gain anything from (as he's retired from that stuff), and so, I'm inclined to believe it is true.
