Lagos is clearly an anomaly, it is a megalopolis. It is a mega city which continually drives population from all around to it.
The below average workers that work in the city would go and live in those rural areas and shuttle from there. This is very different from other states. All parts of Lagos are heavily populated and saturated. You can not use Lagos statistics when talking about population distribution because it's clearly a different situation.

The Lagos situation will be very different from a bayelsa situation or an ekiti state situation.
In Anambra state the population of people in it's major cities, Onitsha, awka, and nnewi would make up 60% of the entire population of the state.

The problem here is u are not showing any verifiable stat/data to back this up .

I have attached screenshots showing that population in rural areas in states like Bayelsa and Benue actually dwarfs those of the major cities .

I think u can go through the link and check Anambra and other state’s population distribution as per the 2011 Annual Abstaract of statistics as provided by NPC and published by NBS https://istmat.org/files/uploads/53129/annual_abstract_of_statistics_2011.pdf

Eventually, they will be forced to employ or will fold up. We had the same issue where I work. Initially they were reassigning and using one person to do more jobs. It got to a point it was no longer working and now they have employed more hands.

The funny thing is, more are still leaving. Three guys are proceeding on leave by Monday and none of them is coming back.

I have not seen this kind of mass exodus before.

It depends on the mode of operations of the companies sha. Banks for example would not employ in the real sense of it sha , they would rather take contract staff as replacements and pay them peanuts.

Urban center dwellers always dwarf the number of rural settlers. In Benue state for example, the population in markurdi and gboko will dwarf the population of 5 rural local governments combined.

This is not true. I presently do not have Benue state data which u used as an example to prove ur point , but I will try to lay my hands on it and post it when I do.

Attached is the data from Nigerian Bereau of statistics showing that the number of rural dwellers in Akwa Ibom dwarfs that of urban dwellers .

I cannot lay claim to knowing how all the states in Nigeria are structured , but one just needs to objectively look at the number of LGA’s/cities that can be referred to as urban area and juxtapose it with those that are rural areas, u will know the rural areas are bound to have more people live in them.

Attached is Lagos State LGA’s population figures , Just look at Alimosho that is on the outskirts of Lagos boasting of 11million , compare it to figures of “main Lagos” that comprises of LGA’s like Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland , Ibeju-Lekki, Surulere , Eti-Osa.

Remember our discussion. I remember seeing Shell and flutterwave graduate trainee the other day. This is just the beginning. Just wait till schools resume in September . Banks are now suspending their yearly promotion till September so they don't reward the japa gang with promotion

There has never a better time to be a graduate.

Most of these companies do graduate trainee almost on a yearly basis . Nothing has changed.

As regards people resigning , u will be surprised that some of these services firm end up not replacing everyone who left……. Some are using 2 people to do 5 men job while trying to cut overhead costs like cost of diesel , etc. If the economy was good and people were resigning enmasse, it would’ve been a good one for graduates to get opportunities; but the companies while seeing the mass resignation are unwilling to recruit new intakes at that rate in a bid to reduce their expenses and balance their books

This is funny

I think Arteta want to bring in new players first before letting the like of Bellerin and AMN go. Also, he may still be looking for diamond among those toughs if one or two of his targeted players doesn't get signed.

They shouldn’t waste money buying another RB when they sell Bellerin jare, we can promote any good academy product to understudy dem Tomiyasu and Cedric Abeg.

Let me be the first person to say this here.

Labor party will lose today!! I know that when the inevitable happens, the radical tribalist, the chief propagandist and the paid party agent with a soul for hire would want to celebrate the LP loss regardless of whether their own party wins or not.


Logical reasons why the LP would inevitably lose today.

1. The Peter Obi revolution is less than 2 months old which means that while he's well known to more than 95% of the educated demography, the illiterate rural dwellers who are the traditional members of the 2 party's are yet to know Obi very well and his outstanding values, precedence and principles that have won him soo many admirers and supporters and makes him soo easy to sell.

2. Many of Obi's new converts are people who have not voted before and most likely did not have PVC, hence the rush at all INEC centers today but for the people of osun, INEC registration closed more than 5 months ago and they were one of the earliest to have started registration so there is no way for Obi's brand new voters to get their PVCs in the state.

3. Vote buying and selling. This wicked act will ensure victory for one of the big two. The politicians have mastered the act of weaponizing poverty. Make the people soo poor that they rejoice when they see 20 thousand naira and find the offer too irresistible, not minding the long term consequence.

Over the hours, I will repost this over and over again because I predict the enemies of our country who still proudly support failure and wish them upon us will derive pleasure in the loss of their countrymen's futures.

Now this is u seeing things in clear reality like some of us have done since . The voting bloc in rural areas (which outnumbers those in the cities ) will be the reason Peter Obi can’t compete with the two leading political parties. People only know about the broom and umbrella party in those areas, it will take more than a year before election year for u to have it ingrained it in such people’s mind that there’s a third force led by Peter Obi.

It’s just unfortunate nothing will change with either Tinubu or Atiku in power . None of those two will move this country forward beyond where it is now . This is the sad reality

Happy birthday Machala the GOAT ! Ur face show , ur shoe shine!

From the boy Banky W announced to us back then in 2010 to the legend he is today 12 years after, e no easy at all! This guy is an example of how far talent and hardwork can take u.

Nigeria, Italy, Iraq and Afghanistan are a pointer to the fact that a country where people pledge allegiance to tribal leaders and corruption is rife is better ruled by a strong man who will hold the country together, or a confederacy of some sorts that limits the influence of federal power.

I disagree with this, especially Nigeria’s case. We had years of military rule in which we had strongmen like Abacha , IBB , etc rule for years but during and after those years Nigeria’s lot was not anyway better ; in fact those were the years Nigeria began its journey to the failed country status . The so called strong men rather than holding the country together like you are assuming they would actually looted the country so much, wasted the monies we got from booming oil business back then and would rather have money stashed abroad than use it judiciously to set the country on its path to glory .

Like during Abacha’s regime people were cooking with firewood in cities , agitations were on the rise and bombings were happening even in Lagos .

Of course it does to an extent. You are not likely to find Italy in Top 15 in Europe in GDP per capital or Human Development Index. But apart from the government being unstable it is also corrupt, so that also contributes.

Yeah, I know about their corruption . It was the calciopoli scandal that opened my eyes back then to how corrupt their society is .

afrodoc2:
Italy is even worse. They have had about 60 cabinets in the same time that Israel has had about 40.

Google Aldo Moro, Giulio Andreotti, Romano Prodi, Silvio Berlusconi. I am sure there are more less well known ones. They turned prime ministerial position into Esusu chairmanship that people rotate amongst themselves.

Wow ! Didn’t know Italy political scene was that unstable o. But does the frequent change of government not affect their economy ? I mean with different government coming up with its own economic policies , does it not affect them as a country ?

Ibime:
Italy, Israel and Japan, I have stopped keeping track of the names of their Prime Ministers. Anyday you wake up, they could have a new one

That Israel funny sef , u will see prime ministers come and go; only to later become prime minister again after few years .

It appears we will be getting Zinchenko afterall.

Good step in a right direction

Aha! I knew there’s no way this matter hasn’t been debated on.
Me to, I was Buhari man in 2015. I even wrote one useless poem for him that got to frontpage
https://www.nairaland.com/2147781/poem-change

The two verses screenshoted below caught my attention; insecurity and ASUU strike is still very much with us with no visible end in sight .

Now we have a president who spends more time being in shock after each terror attacks than actually acting to stem the insecurity problem. We have a president who asks the military to shoot anybody carrying ak47 assault rifles on sight, but expresses shock each time marauding herdsmen use these same weapons to wreck havoc on neighboring communities .

We have a president who junkets all over the globe while university students are sitting at home for months being denied access to education due to the government’s actions and inactions .

I feel ur pain sha cos one could see that was not the change u envisiage while putting up that poem . Kudos to u, it takes a lot of courage for one to agree he made a mistake and then move on to speak about it .

How can you say that Buhari is better than Jonathan with a bold face? Buhari that has been a redundant figure for at least 5 years now?
After his illness that took him to London, the man decided that it is not Nigeria that will kill him and he mentally resigned and he left the country to be run by miscreants.

There has been plenty publications fact checking if Buhari made Nigeria worse or not. Maybe you haven’t seen any. Here is one -

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/540682-fact-check-how-true-is-buharis-claim-that-nigeria-is-better-off-today-than-in-2015.html

I thought we already laid this to rest , a Core buharist like Oasis007 has agreed some of the buhari praise singing he was doing for the past 6 years or more have actually been predicated on misinformation from Alhaji Lie’s desk and those of paid influencers. Even egbon Dayo has tacitly agreed the same Boko Haram he vilified Jonathan for years and called him “the problem” is no longer Jonathan’s brain child but an ideological warfare that is being fueled by poverty , unemployment and high level of illiteracy in the north .

Anybody still holding brief for Buhari’s government while comparing it to Jonathan’s is a party agent that is not expected to say things contrary to the way his party and principals see it .

Deradicalisation is for those that willingly surrender and lay down their arms.

Deradicalisation that is fraught with so many issues.

You deradicalize ex-Boko Haram members and integrate them into the same society in which they killed someone else’s child , father and relatives …… smh

People have talked about how poverty and unemployment has in the north east has been one of the reasons why Boko Haram was able to recruit some of these guys. Now poverty and unemployment has not been reduced to barest minimum and the government is claiming they have deradicalized the “repentant “ Boko Haram members . What happens the moment they are reintegrated and the same poverty and unemployment is still very much a thing in their respective communities ? No be to enter bush once again ? Yeah I know the government claim they organize skill acquisition programmes where they learn skills like fish farming , carpentery, shoe making etc ….. But who will be their customers when they are back in the society? The same people they killed their sons, fathers and relatives ?

I know things like deradicalization looks good on paper and May have success stories in other countries , but in a country like Nigeria that shiiiit ain’t solving any problem.

We are not paid scouts; those paid to scout will surely do their job of recommending two or three players that they believe will fit into the manager’s project. We don’t know how good players like Tomiyasu, Martinelli etc we’re before the club signed them; scouts definitely know where to look for good players if they are asked to.

I feel there’s always been a disconnect with what Buhari says/has in mind and what his handlers/apologists would have u believe .

On nairaland u will hear APC apologists and Buhari “defenders” talk about the government deradicalize terrorists, absorb them back into the society , have them paid salaries not to go back and become tertorists and some of those things that do not apply to logic in a country like Nigeria….. Then there’s Buhari speaking himself speaking and urging the Nigerian army to wipe out the terrorists off the face of the earth

U don’t know if u will be emotional like that until something of that magnitude happens to u or someone closer to u. His relatives were practically being shelled day and night; he probably has friends that have died in the war already and probably can’t wrap his head around why a neighboring country like Russia that used to be once friendly is now out to annihilate his country men.

I won’t consider how he reacted to the war out of line …….. at least he dealt with the emotions and was back playing for the team and even helping them win the league . Ninny’s like Torriera are the real cry babies , not Zinchenko

OhBritannia:
True but unfortunately there is one problem Nigeria is facing now which is the north.
If 50% of people from the north are given orientation then 70% of our election problem is solved.
And then the security challenges in the North has greatly discouraged mass orientation of the north.
Sometimes i think these security challenges in the North were purposely Orchestrated to keep people from the south from coming into the north to liberate them. So they use insecurity to keep northerners in bondage and In control because they know they holds the power to election.

The problem of Nigeria is too complex.
It requires both the revisit of the constitution to fix.
We need to allow each states manage their resources and be independent just like USA and by so doing, people from different states can check and balance their state rulers and then maybe the north will wake up from their slumber when they realise other states are doing better than them.

We need to revisit the constitution.

Even if u want to revisit the constitution, whatever committee is set up u will always have northerners in the majority and they will weigh in on their religion and cultural values when taking decisions that will affect each and every citizenry.

Just take at the quote in the screenshot below(if indeed Awo, Zik and Ahmadu Bello did actually said those things o) , till date we have refused to forget our differences , we do not understand our differences and neither do we have people educated enough to be blinded to those differences ( At least recent religious-linked killings have shown this ) . So why are we deceiving ourselves with one Nigeria instead of breaking it all up ?
