The Truth About Nigeria's Population. by theenchanter: 9:48pm On Jul 24, 2018
Nigeria's population is nothing but a hoax, it's not real. Nigeria's population is a result of political tussle between the north and south. I just want to set the record straight in response to the thread https://www.nairaland.com/4635727/necessity-birth-control-family-planning but I'm not discouraging family planning though.

Nigeria's first recognized population census was conducted in 1962, southern Nigeria claimed 23m and north claimed 22m. In retrospect, southern Nigeria inflated the figure by over 200% and north by over 70%. There was stern disagreement between both region about who has d bigger population since population is a determinant of power, bigger population means u have more representatives in d parliament and of course, more power.

The census was cancelled and recounted a year later, The north now had 31m people and the south still had 23m people. cheesy

In 1991 census, Nigeria claimed 88m. by contrast, the two Ancient African countries (Egypt and Ethiopia) the first was the place of civilization and d second was not colonized had 50m and 48m people respectively, how can Nigeria, a 30year old nation that lost countless souls to civil war and slave trade be 88m?

The last census was not credible as well, even d then NPC chairman, Mr Festus Edimegwu was sacked for saying d census was not credible n had political intrusion. Another blunder by the then governor of cross-river on 17.7.2010 at the save Nigeria group(SNG) in Abuja corroborates d fact that Nigeria has never had a credible census.
When we conducted the census in 2006 or so, the raw figures said we were over two hundred million; when they went and processed the figures it came down to 140million.

Another point to take note of is.... When NPC said Lagos population was 8m and Kano had a population of 9m, Tinubu immediately said Lagos was 17m n his kano counterpart retaliated by claiming Kano to be 19m. Question: is NPC in charge of census or governors?

A research by Africapolis (African subsidiary of E-geopolis) backed by Agences Française de developpment concluded that NPC was right about Lagos figure and Lagos state govt assessment was wrong.

Another group of British scientist conducted a research using satellite images of towns n villages in Nigeria also disputed Nigeria's Population figure.

This is not to say we aren't much in Nigeria but if we factor the fact that our birth rate is 2.6% and death rate at 12/1000 coupled with our low life expectancy at 56years n having one of d highest (if not d highest) mortality rate in d world, there's no way we're up to 120m sef.
I'm not against family planning but our population figure is not right, our leaders aren't truthful about it.

The almajiri north uses it's wide demographic to support it's false theory of having the most population even though we know the south is more populated than the north. They use their culture and religion to support this false idea. Well we know better.

As long as population is one of the factors for revenue sharing. There will always be inflation of figures.

You must be very stupid to insult someone's mother. Did he insult your mother?

It is very clear that the south is more populated than the north. In every country of the world, people tend to move towards the areas where there's a vibrant economy. People also tend to move away desertified areas.

the numbers are not adequate....never was....

its because of cross-border things....you could easily think they added all west african nations toghether to get that amount....

igbos are not that many....but they have a hugh ego....hausa fulani are not that many too,but they dont see no difference between chad,niger and islam north....and yorubas dont have that much children.....that number is suspect for only nigeria....

thank u very much, even 95% of Egyptians live along the Nile cos of the buoyancy of their economy across that region. Nigeria is the only country in the world where people live in arid region than hinterlands.

If u're familiar with the north very well, u'll notice stretch of unused lands before seeing settlements and another loooong journey before another settlement excluding Kaduna and Kano, where are the 100m people in the north living?

We're just using 'guesstimation' based on previous inflated figures rather than proper census.

This what the illiterate theenchanter. wrote on kenya is better. than Nigeria thread. nairalander check both his grammatical blunder and misinformation here. i shall reply him.

u're a mad man, a seriously mad man to the core. gringringrin how can a sane person say that America get its technology from Germany? The same pompous America that couldn't stand d fact that Russia got to d space before them n furiously changed the curriculum of its schools got its technology from Germany? are u seriously serious? U went nut again when u said Samsung buys most of its products from China and builds them in Korea... do u really think everyone is as dumb as u are or what d fvck are u taking me for? Do u even know that Samsung is the largest Chipmaker in d world? The company that makes the iPhone Oled screen? It's like u need some morsel of banku, n funny enough, u're d same person that want to educate everyone here, u actually need d education than everyone here!

I quoted u because u said innoson doesn't have its intellects on d production of its vehicles which is very incorrect. Innoson doesn't operate like katanka, so shut d fvck off!

Finally, companies don't produce all it components in-house, some are sourced out while they produce majority of their products. The sourced out component will either be
1.... a critical component that must be sourced out to an exemplary companies that makes those specified components like bosch does for German automakers and nippodenso does for Toyota primarily and others secondarily.
2.... an insignificance component that the company might source out in order to focus on more important component like the seatbelt or d bolts and nuts in a vehicle.

Batteries, seat, upholstery materials, ECUs (electronic control unit) aren't produced by automakers but sourced out too.


All in all, innoson doesn't produce what automakers doesn't source out for production ( engines ) but produce every other thing excluding light.

Can u show how those chassis in d pics are stamped in Ghana?
