lthough there are others such as Kebbi, Bayelsa, Taraba

How can Bayelsa be amongst the list of unknown states. Are u telling me there are Nigerians who does not know the President comes from Bayelsa?

Ebonyi state,south east of Nigeria.

A state where 70% of top civil servants and legislators stay in Kano.
Jigawa tops the list.

M M M:

KWARA STATE is d worst

for where? Kwara is one of the twelve original states created by Gowon. Kwara na grandfather of other baby states in Naija.

How can some people here mention Ebonyi as one of the least popular, when the whole country know about Abakiliki rice?

Niger

Niger is NOT a state. It's a country that shares a border with Nigeria in the North. I would definitely put Oyo State before Ogun State. Including Anambra & Imo states in the list is just silly! Nobody outside Imo and Anambra knows anything about the states besides the fact that they are both in the East.

It has nothing to do with resource but general perception

the first bolded shows you are a dunce.

second bolded ignorance is not bliss.

Thanks to the Saraki family, my Kwara no dey carry last for popularity.

Top 5 most popular:
1, Lagos
2, FCT
3,Kaduna
4,Kano
5, Rivers

Least 5
1, Ebonyi(as politically conscious and current I usually am, I dont know the governor of this state. I even do sometimes forget the capital)
2, Taraba
3, Kebbi
4, Jigawa(save Sule Lamido, could have also ranked lower)
5,Gotta throw a coin btw Gombe and Nasarawa.

Meanwhile, I read someone mention Anambra in the list of Top 5, even ahead of Kaduna and Kano, well, go to a village in Kebbi or Zamfara state and tell an average man on the street you're from Anambra, if the response you get is not 'where is that?' then come back and tell what it is.

seriuosly doubt that .

Hmm, i didnt know where Jigawa was until I saw my NYSC posting letter. Infact I thought it was a mistake because i was expecting LG(Lagos ) omo na lie o, na JG (JIGAWA ).The only other info I had about Jigawa was because of primary school, where we learnt states and capitals.

How its Ebonyi state least known

You all forgot a name

~ Adamawa ~

News from there is just far and between

Me thinks its all a vast expanse of land with nomads with herds of goats and cows only.

Well the post by different people from different walks of life in Nigeria says it all.

Abakaliki rice is not well know compared to even Ofada rice, because it is eaten in the west and east unlike abakaliki

adamawa is well known not only in Nigeria but all over the world

infact one of the most popular state in Nigeria

Adamawa ko',Gongola ni'.

Dont let Atiku's University decieve you!

Yes, that University attracts people from far away ogun and river state to as far as UK and America.

In fact a foreign columnist wrote that American University of Nigeria uses up to 50% of the Nations Internet. Thus even more than the entire Lagos state. That should tell you the hight of the University

Why do you disagree ?

Whosoeva rates Ebonyi as 1 of the least unknown states must get 'em head examined. Ebonyi has always bn an household name when it comes producing men of integrity over d years in ds country. Go nd make ur research very well, Though a part of Ebonyi, as bn dragging d name of the state backward. But d fact remains dt in any higher institution of learning in ds country, most of d best students are from Ebonyi,

pls does anybody know whats wrong with nairalist.com

Or maybe its just me ?
