So you think all those portharcot and benin city u mentioned are more popular than Aba, and Zaria
Simple comprehension. Op is talking about CAPITALS of States not cities in States.

Is Zaria a capital? Is Aba a capital?

Try to understand before you desire to be understood

@ Op, I disagree wit u on Oyo. Are u taking abt Oyo state or Oyo town, because Ibadan is more popular than Oyo state or Oyo town.
I expect u to name places like
Aba, Warri, Onitsha.
Brooss!

State capitals!!

I disagree, Port Harcourt is not as popular as Calabar.

Port Harcourt should be number one there.

Ibadan is Popular quite alright.

But the Name Oyo is also quite popular because of Yoruba history and stuff.
Maybe to non-Yorubas sha, because every single Yoruba person knows what Oyo is.

Truth be told, Nigerian states in general are mostly one city states except a few like Ogun and Anambra. Outside the capitals, everywhere else seem to be absolute crap, so expect the capitals to be more popular than most states.

Then there are some nigerian states that no one hears of, not the state and not the capitals. States like Jigawa, Taraba, Zamfara and Kebbi.
People hear these state names once in a while and are like, are those places still in Nigeria? grin
sharap Aba is more popular than Abia,

We are talking of Port Harcourt vs Calabar (in terms of Popularity) not Cross River vs Port Harcourt.
Just mention Calabar,most people will think it is the whole Cross River.You are correct.

Is Dubai a state

United Arab Emirate (UAE) is a country, while Dubai is just a state like Lagos, while Abu Dhabi is like Abuja (Capital). Below are the list of the 7 states.


Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm al-Qaiwain, Fujairah, Ajman and Ra's al-Khaimah.
