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?

True talk bro. I have always wanted to visit Ibadan even though sometimes I forget that it's a city in Oyo state. Aba is quite popular, infact every Nigerian knows the name Aba but some doesn't know it's in Abia.

op it should be, Cities popular than their host state.. Bonny island Badagry Ibadan life Aba Onitsha Nnewi Maiduguri Zaria Ore

Is Warri a state capital?

DuBLINGreenb:

You know nothing, what is your definition of popular?Except calabar revieves more than 1.5million tourists per year I'm very certain port Harcourt is more popular. People know cross river is a state more than they know rivers state is a state. I told someone from the north I'm from rivers state she didn't know what I was talking about until I said port Harcourt, but I don't think cross river is that level even if cross river is not famous if you mention it people will know it is in Nigeria.
e.g If 2million people know calabar 1.5m are familiar with cross river and all 2million will know C.R is in Nigeria with very little persuasion.
For PH it is worse because Port Harcourt is more populated than calabar and more famous yet people don't know Rivers state despite these high numbers, so if 3m people know port Harcourt 1m know rivers state which is more impressive than calabar considering the fact that cross river is more known than Rivers state due to how famous port Harcourt is. in the Rivers state itself the University of port Harcourt is not located in port Harcourt, port Harcourt international airport is not located in port Harcourt amongst many other things and yet port Harcourt has kept growing you now hear people saying things like Choba, port Harcourt meanwhile choba is supposed to be a neighbouring city or community just like port Harcourt but port Harcourt is swallowing it's surrounding cities and communities and making them districts in port Harcourt even when these communities and cities are bigger than port Harcourt itself. this is absolutely not the case in Calabar people know ogoja, obudu and so on port Harcourt has so over shadowed Rivers state that many non residents of the state know nowhere else but port Harcourt.
POPULArity and POPULAtion go hand in glove how can a place with a billion residents not be popular Do you know the definition of popular at all?

False! Very false!!!

xpool:

WTF men is warri a capital city?

Those guys are helpless. A thread that should enlighten young people has been hijacked by an ignorant few. I can't stop laughing at those who just refuse to understand simple facts. Abeg leave them since they don't know what a state capital means.

AFONJACOW:
your write up should be cities more popular than it capital, eg Aba, Onisha, warri, ijebu famous for their skull mining activities etc

Why not write your own article and title it 'cities more popular than their state capital' ?

We talking state capitals , some people won't read between lines.

wwwmaster:
Aba is more Popular than Abia State, Onitsha is more popular than Anambra State.
(Edit: Onitsha and Aba are not state capitals).

Calabar is the most popular in the list though, most Nigerians take Calabar as not only city but a very big ethnic group comprising of both Akwa Ibom and Cross River state.

so true

OsamaB:
Most people dont even know that Port Harcourt was named after a paedophile
