You have said nothing, its obvious a man with a compressed head can never have a working brain. Pathetic

i am waiting for Rock Hard, no time for afonja

Killitoff:
Whats now holding you from leaving? Were you not the same kid crying when Fashola relocated some Ibo destitutes back to your biafra. You have no shame at all.

go and sleep little kid. same people fashola relocated came out on the roads in their own land and army shot them. afonjas sef

Killitoff:

afonja, how far,

RockHard:
Ok dude! Fvck the Telcos data. Anambra population is more (even double) than Rivers, Oyo, Ogun and FCT combined, coz you said so. Are you happy now?? WTF??

Lol, has your brain finally crashed?? Lmafoo

Killitoff:
The last time i checked, its you criminals that troop to my region daily and not the other way round. You only shout biafra online and cant go back to your erosion ravaged land, we have told you many times to leave but you cant. Shameless people

Heheh, Nigerians have disfigured brains, just look at the way someone reason, just like RockHard is having heart attack over NBS anambra population beating rivers. Erosion ravaged land that people run from have stuck to his mind, our oyel our paradise etc also damaged his perception of reality. I laugh at your ignorance. Troop to Your land indeed, continue getting stuck in your rusted roofs.

RockHard:
You're not making sense dude. The last time Nigeria had a census was in 2006, every population data since then (including the ones you are touting) are merely based on extrapolated guesstimation. At least not until another census is conducted will we have the latest numbers. In light of this simple fact, the only other data that comes close to giving a reliable ballpark estimate is the Telcos data. Comprende?? Dude, you're wearing out my brain. WTF??!! I'm done.

Why would your brain wear out on simple logic, A system that does not restrict registration to only once, can it a valid estimate for population?? Extrapolation is a valid statistical tool, and that is why NBS was there in the first place

RockHard:
Are you saying Igbo people no dey do multiple registration? Oh no, lemme guess, the Telcos conspired with the rest of the country to reduce a SE numbers to deprive y'all of your rightful position? As for the Abuja numbers, if the data says the FCT is currently more populated than Rivers, so what? So be it.

Yong man grow up. I am not for this. Is it that NPC and NBS also conspired to reduce Rivers Population?? Stop looking for cheap tribal escape route. The simple logic here is that a registration that allows registration is invalid to judge population, it is as simple as that. Otherwise tell us how FCT is higher than Rivers

RockHard:
Dude, I don't want to believe that you're as silly as you're starting to sound. The data in question is based on lines registered with every state of the federation, including the FCT. There's an obvious logical pattern in those numbers dude. Unless you're trying to imply that Igbo people in the SE as a matter of preference are less likely to register multiple lines, they you have no case. Quit grasping at straws and fvck off my mention. Thank you. Geez!

You are being childish by throwing insults and looking for ways to go tribal, i know insulting igbos is sweeter than jollof rice in Nigeria. It is well established fact that FCT is sparsely populated, both rivers and anambra are fare more populated than FCT, FCT is like 1/4 of RIvers population but they it has more lines than Rivers, please explain to us.

RockHard:
I've tried ignoring you but since you mentioned me, I have just one question for you. How do you explain those Anambra/SE Telco data numbers? Is it that Anambra/SE folks don't like using phones? Una traders, students, parents, civil servants, farmers, politicians e.t.c no dey make calls or buy phones like the rest of the country? Or your people are so rural and backward that they are averse to modern telephony?? Whether you like it or not, that raw Telco data is the closest thing we have to a credible estimate -- you can choose to add or subtract a million to/from any of those numbers and it wouldn't make much of a difference. The NBS figures you're touting are mere extrapolated/theoretical estimates that have absolutely no empirical basis.

I will ignore all your insults and an attempt to derail the arguments, coming from someone who accused another of being igbo supremacist just because he talked about Jamb data and state of origin. If i descend on you now on the ethnic thing now.......
meanwhile tell us how FCT is higher than Rivers in your telco data and why NPC and NBC that is recongnized should be discarded. Visit this thread

RockHard:
So only your Igbo people no dey buy double sim while the rest do just to ramp up their numbers? Whatever yardstick or excuse you make (double sim or whatever) will apply across the board, not unless you're trying to imply that Igbos have a unique telephony habit compared to the rest of the country. So you see that you don't have a case. You're just ego-tripping that's all. Guy abeg go and rest.

Young man, the way you argue is just funny. Is line registration valid when people can register as much as they want it is that simple, quit being emotional about it

RockHard:
Yinmu. You're just a sore loser. Quit quoting me abeg. You can believe whatever you want.

hehehe, Why you de run naa, tell us how telco data is valid for population when multiple registration is allowed or go and sleep. FCT is more populated than rivers in your telco.

RockHard, I am waiting oo. TIN magazine indeed

RockHard:
Dude, I don't have to visit any thread to know that you're letting your ego get the better of you. Telco datas are based on REGISTERED LINES! Those lines are REAL lines that belong to REAL people. Infact, that data is more reliable than any data NPC has ever cooked-up since Nigeria started conducting censuses. Telcos are neutral/independent parties here. The figures you're touting sef is based on a discredited premise - The abysmally flawed and fraudulent 2006 Census. If the premise if flawed, obviously nothing credible can come from and out of it. Look, you can choose to believe whatever you like, that's your business.

Lol, does line registration reject double registration?? is not about fuming up and down. Just tell what makes Telco data reliable. In the event that NPC and NBS stats are manipulated, what make it likely that Anambra will be favoured more than Rivers?? IN your Telco data, FCT is higher than Rivers, no other proof of how flawed it is than that

RockHard:
I've tried ignoring you but since you mentioned me, I have just one question for you. How do you explain those Anambra/SE Telco data numbers? Is it that Anambra/SE folks don't like using phones? Una traders, students, parents, civil servants, farmers, politicians e.t.c no dey make calls or buy phones like the rest of the country?

The NBS figures you're touting are mere extrapolated/theoretical estimates that have absolutely no empirical basis.

Lol, see argument?? There is no limit to the number on lines someone can operate and that makes telco data invalid. as simple as that. Visit this thread. FCT is higer than Rivers in your flawed Telco data
https://www.nairaland.com/3545871/nbs-estimates-nigerias-population-now

RockHard:
Truth is, only a neutral/independent party's data (like the Telcos') can be relied upon when it comes to this sort of subject matter in the Nigerian context because government-related sources can be easily compromised, for obvious reasons.

Stop trying to sell Telco data as population data despite its obvious flaws. Visit this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/3545871/nbs-estimates-nigerias-population-now

RockHard:
Crap. Do graduate/non-graduate working adults and 40, 50, 60, 70yr olds sit for JAMB? No, they don't but guess what? They have phones. Quit being disingenuous. I know you're an igbo supremacist and all, but you need to learn to be objective at times. Everything shouldn't be reduced to and given an ethnic and tribal coloration. Your attempt to discredit the Telco data is dead-on-arrival.

If you cant defend your claim, don't bring the tribal bulshit here. Telco data is invalid, because people are not restricted to one phone line, it is your attempt to use Telco data that is dead on arrival. Yahoo boys in SW and Edo may have "millions" of lines FYI. You are masturbating on TIN magazine estimate but have not said anything on the NPC and NBS data which are govt recognized.
https://www.nairaland.com/3545871/nbs-estimates-nigerias-population-now

RockHard:
Lol. Guy, you are better than this. How many students actually sit for jamb in a year relative to the number of those that don't get to? What percentage do them represent of the total student body in Nigeria? What demographic and age-group/bracket do they represent? Your logic simply won't fly. I might as well refer you to the raw WAEC data below as being representative of the population of the country. But even I know better than to do that.

Just like your phone line date, the WAEC date won't fly too. Consider this, Anambra's economic strength is its numerous huge open markets, these markets attracts people who could not further their education who come to learn trade. Most of them can't even dream of WAEC but make and become very rich through trade.

slim75d:
how can you compare the population of rivers state to that of anambra. this is laughable, does igbos live in their state? evry body in nigeria knows that ibos re wanderers they live their state to search for greener pasture, i wonder if u cn find upto 10 rivers men in the whole of anambra

THe lies in the media has deformed many brains in Nigeria, meanwhile this thread shows data from NPC and NBC, Anambra is ahead of Rivers according to the part in bold, if you dare include state of Origin then Anambra will be Triple that of RIvers


National Population Commission (NPC) and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) have put the current figure of Nigeria’s population at 193,392,517.
This is just as the Federal Government proposed a total budget of N9.799 billion for the NPC in 2017, which, according to the sources, is a little above the United Nations’ estimate of 186,988,000.

It will be recalled that the national population census was last conducted in Nigeria in 2006 when the total figure was put at 140,431,790.

According to the latest population forecasts released by NBS, in its website www.nigerianstat.gov.ng, Kano remains the largest state, by an estimated population figure of 13,076,892 than the population of Lagos which is put at 9,113,605.

However, there exists a sharp contradiction in the actual population figure of Lagos, as both the United Nations and Lagos State government put the population of Nigeria’s commercial capital at about 22 million.

The 2006 census figures put Kano population at 9,401,288 and that of Lagos at 12,550,598.

Some highlights of the latest estimates indicated that there are 98,630,184 males with 94,762,333 females.

Also, the population figure of infants within the age bracket of zero to four years, according to NBC and NBS, constituted the largest percentage of the population with 31,116,156, followed by the figure of those between five to nine years with a population of 27,549,964.

An analysis of the figures showed that Nigeria currently had an estimated population figure of 78,971,690 of those between the ages of 15 to 39.

According to the analysis, there were 106,257,431 people within the working population of 15 to 64 years.

It also showed that despite Boko Haram insurgency, which has ravaged substantial parts of the North-East since 2010, the population figure increased substantially.

From a population of 21,614,789 in 2010, the six states of the North-East is currently put at 26,263,866.

Six south-west states of Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti states, according to the analysis, grew from 31,533,821 in 2010 to 38,257,260.

The analysis also showed that Kaduna retains its position as third most populated state with 8,252,366 inhabitants followed by Oyo with current population estimate of 7,840,864, which outpaced Katsina now with a figure of 7,831,319.

In 2006, Katsina’s population followed that of Kaduna State while Oyo was in the fifth place.

Bayelsa maintains its position as the least populated of the 36 states of the federation with an estimated figure of 2,277,961.

Anambra is the most populated state in the south-east with 5,527,809 inhabitants while Rivers State leads in the south-south region with 5,198,716 people.

For the north-east, Bauchi is the largest state in terms of population with a figure of 4,653,066 while in the case of the north central, Benue leads with 5,741,815 inhabitants.

According to the details of 2017 budget proposal submitted to National Assembly, by President Muhammadu Buhari, NPC will fully commence preparation for 2018 population census during 2017.

A stakeholders’ conference to present the 2018 census instrument to gulp N50 million, would hold during the year while N41.7 million has been earmarked for training of staff in Washington, for data collection and interviewing techniques.

There is also a proposal for N1.950 billion to be spent on field demarcation and another N1 billion is expected to be deployed to acquiring satellite imagery.

ericuzor:
all lies

Pure lies, who is TIN magazine and useless website that quoted them? And how can someone release 2017 estimate in February 2017?? Look at 2016 estimate by NPC and NBS on this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/3545871/nbs-estimates-nigerias-population-now

Bowwow11:
I dont agree wt dis statistics

check this thread for real data from NBS and NPC

RockHard:
Nah, that's certainly not the only reason coz the Telcos data shows that even Edo state has more people than Anambra which is clearly the most populous state in the SE. The Ogun and Oyo figures alone sef is more than all the SE states combined according to those stats (doesn't even include Osun, ondo, and Ekiti). I think for some reason the SE region isn't experiencing as much population growth compared to other sections of the country.

Visit the government recognized site on population matters. People have multiple phone lines, so you are wrong to use it to judge

Killitoff:
Anything that does not favour you ipob criminals is false. You people are worst than devil.

Visit this government recognized sites and educate yourself.

RockHard:
There's no way in hell that Anambra population can be more than Rivers, don't deceive yourself.

Haha, This is data from National population commission and National Beaureau of Statistics, Nigerias recognized body on population issues. Don't talk with ignorance like afonjas, Anambra is far more populated than rivers

Busted again

Garbage Nshi ewu

discerning minds already saw the corruption fight the charade it is

sarrki:
May your days be long

Long live muhammadu Buhari

Long live federal republic of Nigeria

Enemies of state won't find joy

They will never know peace

You already lack peace in you life from all indications, likewise Bubu

sarrki:
Baba you have done what the constitution requires

May your says be long baba

Long live muhammadu buhari

Enemies of state will crash

He has done what the constitution requires that is why he should stay there and never come back. Buhari is not "The State".

Ogbete market which afonjas said shit littered everywhere, you see why their media attacks on the east must be ignored??

nonsobaba:
Ipod knows they can't influence the outcome of the Anambra election as majority of their deluded members in anambra state are actually indigenes of other states, particularly wawa ppl of enugu state, imo state ppl and abakaliki ppl. They don't also believe in nigeria and so don't vote in nigerian elections. Anambra indigenes don't do Ipod as our ppl are too busy in their shops and factories to engage in such hopelessness and veiled criminality.

THis stupiiid man, was it not anambra ipod yoots that were mudered in PH the other day??

Lol, useless padded data

Eastwalk:
One thing I love about the northerners is that they don't make noise , try visit Kano . Those mentioned places are no way closer


Kano

This is Nkpor, near Onitsha, This is not even a state capital. Second pic is a closer view of the flyover which can be seen from afar on the first pic
