80% of Niger land mass is covered by the Sahara desert. Also, if you look at the occupied areas of Northern Nigeria and Niger, you will notice that they have similar population density which ranges between 50 and 90 persons per square km. That explains the wide disparity in overall population density of Niger Republic compared to Northern Nigeria

Now, you agreed that the 80% of northern Niger lies in Sahara desert which made Nigeriens migrate to the south and made the south more populated than the north.
Now, why didn't you agree with the other poster that said in human habitation, the south is usually more populated than the north...Is it not same reason that made the northern cattle rearers go to the south during dry season in search of food?


If truly North is more populated than the south, why is bvn enrollment in the south more than the north?
When it comes to indices that involves taking our biometrics like jamb registration, number of active telephone lines etc?the south is ahead of the north.Even vat payment, number of vehicle registration etc.

Moreover, the fact that Kebbi state is the largest producer of rice doesn't mean that the north is not a dry land except both central region.Even in the Sahara desert, some crops and animals thrive there and can live for more than 100 years.

ggood:
show me any desert country in the world that is more populated than the rain forest county, abi Niger and Chad your neighbor don't marry 4 wives and 40 children's what is their population

Their phantom population figure no dey reflect for vat, bvn, number of active telephone lines etc.E go shock them soon.

tbarrister:
The North obviously have more population than the South. The number of votes says it all

It's only in nigeria where a man with 1 wife and 5 children, practices family planning and late marriage yet thinks his region has more population than a man with 4 wives and 38 children (+- wives), frowns at family planning and loves early marriage. Hahaha

Be deceiving yourself there..Every matrix that can be used to determine our population like number of registered vehicles, bvn, number of active telephone lines, number of active bank account, number of students enrolled etc, the south has more..
Moreover, why is it that the population of Niger(country) with the same culture, tradition and religion with larger land mass than the whole of Nigeria is just 20m plus while Nigeria northern region claim it's over 100m.

Barrywilly:
It was a non contest and a walkover. It will take some selfless disposition and detribalised politicking before APC can be displaced nationwide. In this wise, Atiku and Obi have to give way for fresh candidates.

For now, no party can defeat apc in surulere.Gbaja is in charge.

etrange:

IMAliyu2:
Could this work for Payoneer withdrawals aswell?
Withdrawing USD, into an NGN account.

I'm not sure how payoneer withdrawal works but the one I stated earlier was based on personal experience.

freeborn02:
Lolz. It's arson.

Hmnnn...
I don hear you. Na politician vs politician.They dine together.

freeborn02:
That's arson, not terrorism

Burning a whole house of assembly complex is arson? Imagine if it was the national assembly complex in Abuja that was burnt, will you call that arson too?

jeff1993:
Wike wan just use this man as scape Goat sha

But he led touts to burn the house of the assembly complex. He allowed Fubara to use him.

Don't stress yourself opening a domiciliary account. If you have a gtbank naira account, give it to the sender. When it's sent, gtbank will open a temporary dollar account linked to your naira account for it to be warehouses and gtbank will pay you in dollars. They won't give you naira even if you want it in naira.

JasonScoolari:
Dear Clown,

Lover of this “E bi pa wa” administration, what is the news saying please?

You still shamelessly quoted me without reading the news...CLOWN.
I'm not going to dignify you with any response again since you don't understand the news.

JasonScoolari:
N4.6bn ONSA fund shared to organise prayers against insecurity?


This “Emilokan” administration ehn, “Na more looting for Elites Crooks, And more ‘E bi pa wa’ songs for the supporters.”

No wonder the Item 7 called Toke Makinwa dey cash out steadily.

Imagine what an adult is spewing.You didn't bother to read the news because of your hatred for the current administration.Continue.God pass una

APCNig:
Gbaja has a replacement already. His name is Akeem Muri-Okunola. He is currently Tinubu's Private Secretary, that was the same position that Raji Fashola was holding when Lai Mohammed was Tinubu's Chief of Staff in Lagos.

So, nothing catches Tinubu unaware. He plans for decades to come, not just few years

I don't think Akeem has the charisma to be the chief of staff.Akeem is young too.Gbaja is an experienced administrator and politician.
I think Faleke can rival Gbaja.

Melagros:
I doubt this report, definitely, that man is corrupt but the figure might have been over inflated

True..$30bn is hugeee and Nigeria is still standing.

$30bn? Almost our foreign reserve?

AllahOfBlood:
In ur widest imagine

A Rivers man like me will leave my fellow Igbo brother whom I share common boundaries, common nature and culture with to support a different creature like u from God's know where.
Don't let this misconception that south south don't like Igbo to fool u any more

It seems you dont know that your political leaders in Rivers state like Odili, Wike,Amaechi, Fubara are with the south west.
Mind you,Igbos are the ones always famzing south south whereas the relationship between south south and south west is mutual.
By the way, Yorubas have more stake in the south south than igbos.

Chikel20000:
we southerners our our own problem....we can't unite against d north cos we fear one side will betray d other....don't expect us from d east to support u guys....about d relocation....everyone knows it's d right thing to do

When the time comes, once the westerners and south south decide, the south east will fall in line.South west already has south south as its worthy ally in the south.South east is alone now..No bargaining chip for now from south east.

Chikel20000:
as usual....Obi must be mentioned for ur quote to make sense....love it or hate it, una too like Obi....d guy d give una heartache

Did you notice that Obi sef didn't condemn the relocation of these departments because he knows the truth. Sanusi former CBN governor gave reasons why some people don't want it to be relocated even Kingsley Moghalu, former CBN deputy governor is in support.

You are on a long thinggg.

bitbillionaire:
The man has a point.

Abuja by the virtue of it's geographical location at the center of Nigeria and it's role as the capital city of Nigeria is the mist detribalised city that actually unites all Nigerians, unlike Lagos where yoruba people no wan gree say 'na no man's land'. It makes sense that the headquarters of all Federal Parastatals should be in Abuja; otherwise, kukuma scatter the agencies and Ministries to many states.

Tinubu ought to have maintained the status quo.

If the current CBN's building in Abuja is no longer enough to contain staff nothing stops them from building or renting another office in the same Abuja for additional staff they have.

Moreover, in this age of internet, zoom meetings, whatsapp video calls, CBN staff in Abuja doesn't even need to come to Lagos for any thing when they can request for electronic version of whatever documents they need from any bank anywhere in Nigeria while staying in Abuja

You can't supervise banks virtually.Thats why there is no effectiveness.All loans granted by banks are supposed to be monitored by CBN, Usage of Form M and Form A are supposed to be monitored regularly.Effective monitoring will reduce fraud in the banking industry.

Asswipemod:
Those departments will be moved and there is nothing anyone can do about it. CBN headquarters still remain in Abuja. We are just moving certain departments. Why all these cries?

Sanusi don expose them already.

Ezemeiyogu:
When all these relocations are done and Lagos takes all, nobody should cry "Lagos belong to the Yoruba". You can't site everything in Lagos and then turn and want to have absolute control of Lagos. I see this administration addressing or trying to address the wrong things. This is the least of the issues bedeviling this nation but then, I don't expect anyone to agree with me. It's what it is!

Lagos will allow you to prosper as you wish but don't bring your tribalism to Lagos..Less I forget, don't meddle in Lagos politics. If you can adhere to these, I assure you of the maximum hospitality that foreigners enjoy in Lagos.

khreus:
What happen to unity bank?

Unity bank head office was formerly in Abuja because of its northern influence.They couldn't penetrate the southern market and that made people tag it as an Hausa bank. They have no choice than to move their head office to Lagos.

jogojogo:
If the only thing Tinubu can mastermind is Regionalism or resource control, he would have his name written with gold

We are getting there gradually.Thats why Tinubu is working with key people in the south south like akpabio, Oshomole, ibori, Wike etc.even silently working with the militants..Others from the south south will fall in line. When it's time, the southeast will succumb to regionalism and resource control and that's it.
Tinubu is not Jonathan who doesn't know the power he has.

Dearlord:
Being a former CBN Gr doesvn't gaurantee success but one who has the foresight & goodwill.
Don't be surprised he is planning to tap from the national treasury with his goons.

He is simply saying the truth.Even Kingsley Moghalu a former cbn deputy governor is in support of the relocation..Dont assume that he is planning to tap from the national treasury. Just try and proof him wrong with facts.

Dearlord:
This is very shameful.
If we can't kill corruption and do what is right there will never be progress in any sector in Nigeria.

Relocating it to Lagos is even the worse it will be an economy chaos

Do you know more than a former CBN governor? Even Moghalu, a former deputy CBN governor is in support of the movement.

Trimjos:
Can you just shut up and stop throwing numbers anyhow. Who told u that 70% of all banking activities in a Nigeria happens in Lagos?? Can you back up ur claims with evidence??

The onus is on you to counter my claims intelligently.. You don't have to be rude to me.

Fuadx1:
Then why not move the banks head offices to Abuja?

They can't because 70% of banking activities in Nigeria takes place in Lagos.They will run at a loss. The banks can site their head office in any state...There was a time unity bank had their head office in Abuja..

sexiestharam:
Inflated and not understated? Wow, an interesting angle.

https://www.nairaland.com/7357036/there-more-people-north-than

Go through it and you will understand what is happening in this country.

sexiestharam:
With the japa syndrome going on for years, why is Nigeria still full? It's like nobody left! Lagos CANNOT be 20 million. Have you been to Ikotun, Oshodi, Iyana-Ipaja? Lagosians are up to 40 million people! I served in the North. I went to remote places where you see only bushes. But if you enter those places, humans were there. This makes we wonder. Aren't we up to 300 million people?

I think our population is being inflated.

DMerciful:
This is a political move, only a discerning mind can see it. You think the northern elites are foolish?

When Tinubu move key sectors he can move to Lagos, he'll begin to talk of restructuring. If there's restructuring with resource control,
where do you think the funds from CBN and FAAN would go? Lagos!

You are seeing it as a political move ryt..Look at it, does it make sense to you sending Cbn staffs to Lagos for banking supervision for 2 months and lodge them in hotel and still pay them out of office allowance?Mind you, it's only banking supervision department they are moving to Lagos not the whole cbn.Dont forget that the banks they are supervising all have their head offices in Lagos
