So you guys should stop using Chad and Niger as an example when the local conditions are different.

It was in response to people using landmass as a factor. Stop deliberately misunderstanding me

afrodoc2:
It is very funny to use Niger's population and the similarity in culture to question the validity of Northern Nigeria's population. Anyone who understands geography and how population growth happens won't use that example.

Egypt has 110m people but next-door neighbour Libya with a similar Arabicized North African culture has 7m people. Mind you Libya is nearly twice the size of Egypt in land area. E get reason.

All this proves is the land size of the North does not guarantee population.

You can even see that majority of the Egyptian population are close to the Nile.

Nigeria the only country in the history of humanity with more people in dry arid regions than temperate regions. That math is simply not mathing

afrodoc2:
You are not getting my point.
My point is that if you have a population that is wildly dispersed over a large area it might look to be a smaller population than a similar population spread over an area which is much smaller.
I didn’t mean that large area automatically means large population .

Furthermore the countries you mentioned have large chunks of their land practically unable to sustain food production. My point though was about how low population density and visible crowds can be misleading when there is such a discrepancy in land area.

I understand all of that and that's why in my subsequent posts I mentioned commerce and energy consumption as other factors not just population spread

Though landmass was the initial premise to the population being high and I merely used the countries listed as proof that landmass does not guarantee anything.

Population is not even closely related to the size of a place. Countries like Korea and Japan easily prove this

BlueRayDick:
Na dem Tafawa Balewa start the nonsense at the inception of an independent Nigeria . A census was carried out in 1961 and the preliminary results showed the population of the South exceeds that of the North.

Tafawa Balewa’s NPC controlled FG rejected the result and scheduled a recount for 1963. Whether northerners started giving birth in hundreds and thousands between 1961 and 1963 nobody can tell; but somehow the North population suddenly shot over the roof and from that moment population census turned a useful political tool.

This is because if the initial figures were accepted , there would’ve been re-adjustment of federal constituencies which would’ve put more federal seats in the south as against the north.

All indices including energy consumption, commerce point to these figures being fake if you ask me.

To be fair I believe Nigeria population as a whole is inflated not just the North, just that the North's own is the most egregious.

We are very bad at data storage and collation in Nigeria

Capaldi:
Niger a Muslim nation with a bigger landmass than the entire Nigeria what's their population? Northern Nigeria population is a scam.

E dey confusing and funny. Niger and Chad. Same people almost similar cultures. X5 the landmass somehow they're several times fewer than Nigerian counterparts.

afrodoc2:
You also have to consider that they give birth to far more children in the north.

Also the north is more than double the south in land area. For the north to look as crowded as the south it has to have to 2-3 times the population of the south. Population density is not population.

If na by land mass. Saudi, Canada, Australia should be dominating population nau. But non of these countries are in the top 30.

Niger State is massive and it's most definitely not top 5 populated states in Nigeria

I truly believe their population is inflated. Is it more or less than the South who knows? But for starters I don't even believe Nigeria has up to 150m people never mind 200m I also believe the North population thing is a myth there's fewer people than being reported

liveLongNprospa:
Again.

How is the north more populated than the south when we seem to have alot more generated electricity down south?


When these guys go allow person do proper census

I've always argued that this census and population thing Nigeria is running is a massive scam. I've been to Niger and as massive as Niger state is na borderline ghost town

Nigeria is the first country I've seen where there are more people in the hotter regions than the cooler regions.

Places like Chad and Niger in close proximity to the North similar in culture and with almost 5x the landmass have far fewer population. Makes no sense.

Roland17:
Freaking Midget Brunson is running a P&R so he can isolate 1v1 against Dame!

A40….Where you at!

Na wa oh. Which team Brunson no dey cook? Didn't you see him against Lakers last season?

This dude IMO is a top 5 PG in the league. Why are you making it sound like he's average

Roland17:
The Knicks also score 72 points inside the paint! What does that tell you?

Buttressing the point. The team has jumped back defensively in geometric proportions

Griffin has not set this team up properly defensively.

They're bottom 10 on defense. Fortunately they're the best offense in the league, though their easy schedule has helped but the Bucks had a track record of being a defensive team. Whether you believe Lillard has made it worse, the coach is not helping either

And if we are going to give him credit for their good offense then we must give him blame for their lack of defense

Ibime:
How do you see Fury faring against 5ft 11 niggas like Joe Frazier, light heavyweights like Leon Spinx and other "greats" that beat Ali

Afrodoc2 wants to know the answer to this question

Lol styles make fights. There's a reason boxing introduced the Superheavyweights. Ali and Fury would not even compete at Olympic level

I guess the Usyk fight would tell us how Ali would have dealt with Usyk considering Ali and Usyk are closer in size.

Also consider that Larry Holmes was beat not once but twice by Michael Spinks brother of Leon Spinks who was even smaller

Holyfield, Tyson were routinely kicking the butts of bigger boxers

Bigger is not always better. Don't forget the smaller man always has the speed advantage.

WhoDeyHause:
Usyk will beat fury. Bookmark it.

I strongly doubt it but I'm open to being surprised

raumdeuter:
If Fury doesn't see a challenge he slacks. His last serious fight was Wilder 3 fight and that's over 2yrs ago. He doesn't have any serious challenger. Imagine na Ngannou who learnt boxing for 1yr be his only fight in 2yrs

Don't let this Joshua fight confuse you, that our brother is still a fraud and I will put money on him losing to Fury Usyk and Ngannou. He might have a chance against that Bronze Fraud from Alabama. The Man Utd of Heavyweight boxing

BTW where is that Mexican tellytubby Ruiz wey beat Joshua sef

I'm not suggesting AJ beats Fury, if he couldn't destroy Usyk despite being bigger, younger and supposedly stronger I'm not sure he has any answer for Fury.

For me I'm speaking more about the era being weak more than anything else.

I'm one of those that see Fury beating Usyk more easily than people expect. Dubois was just naive and IMO should have finished Usyk.

If you ask me a more polished Ngannou is the only remedy for Fury as he neutralizes all of Fury's strengths

BlueRayDick:
Shebi na una dey side with am when he came out with his sob story trying to drag his ex-wife claiming he never assaulted her.

No Woman will want to stay in a marriage with a man that sounds like this, even if he trained her from kindergarten to PHd level . He comes across as a narcissist.

If he can say such hurtful words to his own son he sired from his loins , I can’t imagine what he can do to his woman 🤮

Wetin dey amuse me most is the fact that the Skoin skoin loverboy role e dey play for movies is exactly how e be for real life. So can we even call him an actor when he's basically playing himself

African Boomer and Gen X men really have this problem of interacting with their kids. They can't critique without absolutely destroying your psyche, look at that boy wey be like wetin e vomit. So e no even fit deny am.

Wey e suppose use nepotism help him life. I believe you can absolutely have disdain for your ex and still treat your kids well. Just look at Eminem and his daughter vs the mother

That man will be 70 and some goofy will tell him to forgive the man like that without the man ever apologizing or acknowledging his bad behavior

afrodoc2:
Yeah you are right about power but remember these punches are not against bags but against other boxers. More of that power is felt when the punches are landing unexpectedly but now that people have that extra millisecond to prepare for his punches (which are telegraphed already anyway) his punches can’t have the same effect.

P.S All those guys are far better boxers than Wilder. It’s like you guys don’t understand how bad a boxer Wilder is. Someone who thinks footwork is a surgical procedure.

The eraser he has is that right hand, and if that is not landing he has nothing to fall back on.

George Foreman knocking out niggas 10-15 years younger is proof power usually carries.

Wilder relies on his hands and heart to be fair. I think the biggest mistake was not teaching him how to actually box. He goes in with the mentality of he has that eraser. Ngannou did not make that mistake. He said he was going there not to rely on the knockout but to actually box because in most fights if you're seeking for the finish and you don't get it there's every possibility you get finished yourself

I still want to see Wilder and AJ. The game can be very different when niggas stop fearing your power. Derrick Lewis is proof of this in the UFC. I want to see if AJ mano y mano in the ring will not fear Wilder's power

Ibime:
Fury can never be on fraud watch. Fury just gets lazy and overweight between fights and is getting old. Fury is the greatest of this era and may be arguably the greatest since Larry Holmes.

I would rank Lennox ahead of Fury. This is arguably the worst era of Heavyweight boxers. Ngannou has proven that

Fraud might be a bit of a stretch to describe Fury I'd go with the resume being a bit fraudulent I guess. Again losing to Ngannou showed that

Fury is lowkey on fraud watch. I'm actually interested in seeing him with AJ now. I know styles make fights which is why I want to see it even more now.

Ngannou will be punching air right now. With Wilder completely destroyed how can anticipation even be built for their fight

afrodoc2:
Not really. Wilder can’t outbox any top or even decent heavyweight. Now that he is approaching 40 yrs of age his power will diminish and his legs will start to betray him. His only shot against the better boxers is one (lucky) punch.

I wasn't expecting him to outbox Wilder to be honest. The Parker I saw go into slugfests with Whyte, Delboy and Joe Joyce I assumed would definitely get starched by Wilder.

I'm impressed that he stood his ground. Though Maoris are fearless for the most part but yeah his biggest win yet.

Power is usually the last thing that goes it's just that now he's slower, the reaction time to land those punches no dey again.

nihilistjnr:
Airpark see how dem do your guy Big Baby Miller

Hehehe. That Teletubby. Make e go lose weight.

This era of heavyweights are so terrible. He's a funny nigha but Dubois wiped the floor with him. I think lack of confidence was the only reason that fight lasted till the dying seconds before Dubois finally put him out of his misery

Parker absolutely wiping the floor with Wilder. Incredible

benji93:
It's interesting that this is coming from a fan of someone who won a bubble championship. You can't find any championship more unreal.

SmooshCHN:
I mean LeBron would have to have had real championships to begin with right? You can't give what you don't have.

That's what pisses everyone off. You know the team can be better but chooses not to.

Bubble championship
Lockout championship
In season championship

LeMickey for a reason

I don't condone or agree with Draymond punching Poole but now let's just say I understand

I was casually scrolling through my Sofascore app and said let me check Standings. Lo and behold our calabash tournament champs are in the 8th seed? Hmmm. I comment my reserve

I dey sorry for Suns. Them don enter one chance with Bradley Beal and his no trade clause. You have to wonder what is going through KD's mind. Perhaps e for just dey Nets jeje

Ime is really cooking something delicious in Houston. Can't keep a good man down

etidy:
This is what I love about lebron. No sentiments, draymond and klay should have been offloaded since last summer. Steph needs to become selfish to give himself another title shot.

Unless the Warriors have made peace with the fact that they're good with 4 rings. That's respectable and such loyalty is rare and should be appreciated by fans. However if they're deceiving themselves that their still contenders then they're fooling themselves and wasting Steph's good years

And also what the hell is wrong with Wiggins?? You have to wonder if it's mental or just garri that found it's level and appreciate the 2022 season for the fluke it was. He's playing remedial basketball right now and has been doing so all season long

Warriors had a chance to move clean off Draymond in the summer. Now that it is clear their dynasty is done, they will waste the remainder of Steph's prime and they will be in purgatory for the foreseeable future. Good luck trying to offload Draymond's contract

Computer village in the early 2000s was tiny. My brother would park on medical road, and we would have to really walk for maybe 10 minutes to get to our guy that sold game CDs and floppies.

Maybe in that era, this guy could have done it....because that's what SLOT did.

But flipping one laptop to 400m in 2015 is an Adeboye-esque story.

Lol. Na Jamiu Okola dem fit give all that fermented Zobo

Say them born me for night no mean say na yesterday night them born me

Be like all those stories Jimi Solanke dey tell us when we small. Which kin laptop business are you turning to 400m as recently as 2015.

Make these people rate us small

etidy:
You have a point but we also have to remember that Lebron wanted Erik Speolstra sacked at some point during his first season in Miami. Pat Riley said no and supported his coach, look how it turned out. There has to be balance to everything and the players have to hold themselves accountable before pointing to the coach.

Well the Bucks do not have a Pat Riley figure now do they? Plus Bron and Spoelstra were on somewhat equal footing. Neither had won anything

For the Bucks case it's different. This is a guy that has won nothing, his first coaching gig trying to tell a team who has won something what to do. You're always going to get a really short rope, especially when what you're telling them is not working. That's just the way it is

Roland17:
https://www.si.com/nba/2023/12/08/bucks-pacers-bobby-portis-adrian-griffin

Giannis started it and now Portis is doing the same. Knowing he messed up, Giannis goes to the podium after witnessing the Portis spat and in defense of Griffin says players need to show up at the end of the day.

Adrian Griffin needs to draw the line with his players otherwise he would lose all the respect. Also, the GM and owners need to step in but Griffin definitely needs to draw boundaries. All he said was they were poor in rebounding the ball, which is exactly what I said, especially from the top and the numbers don’t lie against the Pacers… before Portis jumps on him

CC: A40. I already know the angu u will take.

Lol. This is only proving my point. These are professional veteran players and will always challenge you if they don't believe you're putting them in position to succeed with your coaching.

Whatever is spilling out is what the players probably discuss among themselves. From the Knicks game to Giannis incident and this.

You're missing a critical point here. This a Championship team. They've won stuff. Griffin is the one with something to prove not them

afrodoc2:
Someone should have asked him if he is doing 4 jobs as well. At least he must be practicing what he preaches.

When they say many are mad few are roaming he's the person they're talking about. A certified mad fellow

GloriousGbola:
My guy dey vexxx

And today with email and WhatsApp it is even worse. My old ceo na real crazeman. Guy will be sending out emails at 1am. Sometimes WhatsApp messages.

I heard adenuga used to schedule meetings for 2am. Where you go find time do pp in that scenario when he has taken over your knacking time

As someone who don work with Indian employers I know people that have no value for time you couldn't pay me enough money to work for someone who wants to use up all your time.

People think money is the most important currency but it's actually time. Any work you're doing that's not giving you time to self improve you should aggressively seek to leave for somewhere else. Whatever they're paying you you can already trust Nigeria economy to make mockery of it

Go and check people working those type of jobs. 10 years they're in the same spot like dog chasing it's tail and last last they will still fire you eventually
