Which identityhuh
The one most people who enrolled for the past 5-7years are yet to get their cards issued??

Somehow I wish the government can allow the banks to handle this, like if you bank with first bank, you can go there at your spare time, get your details captured or lifted from your account information and you can have your ID card printed within 24hrs.

Shebi we are already paying 1k for ATM cards..we can as well pay another 1k to get genuine national ID cards issued via the banks.

Most govt related services in this country are just a waste of resources.


Anyway, check this out:

Oga, there are some flashes of brilliance you'll see in a player and know what the future holds.

Havertz can't play like this. He is too slow and languid. The premiership is not a league for such players.

Nigeria compared to Japan. Reason am again cry

Do you know what it takes to run a city with a large population like Tokyo, New York etc? From transportation to infrastructure to power etc? Can you compare what you see there with what you get in Lagos?
you were saying overpopulated, I.e number of people compared to it's land mass. New york is the largest city in the world, but tokyo is one of the smallest city in the world with the largest population

If the total population of Kano is 3m, where did bubu got over 3m votes he presented to us in 3015/2019huh
the city of kano comprises of 6 LGA just the way port harcourt city comprises of 3 LGA. Nasarawa LGA in kano metropolis alone comprises of almost 1 million people,

So take out the 6 LGA that made up kano metropolis we still going to have additional 38LGA remaining. So that's where buhari got the numbers of vote you where talking about.

The entire kano state population is over 14millon

Abuja's 2020 population is now estimated at 3,277,740. In 1950, the population of Abuja was 18,977. Abuja has grown by 836,049 since 2015, which represents a 6.07% annual change. These population estimates and projections come from the latest revision of the UN World Urbanization Prospects.

Abuja is the capital of Nigeria. It replaced the former capital, Lagos, as the capital city in 1991, although Lagos remains the most populous city.

Abuja has a short history, as it was a planned city that was developed primarily during the 1980s. However, despite its brief history, Abuja is not just the fastest-growing city in Africa but is also one of the fastest-growing in the world.

The city of Abuja is one of the only planned cities in Africa, and judging by its massive population growth, it is one of the most successful. The city is home to multiple religious sites and centers, including the Nigerian National Mosque. Abuja is one of the wealthiest cities in Africa.

The city was planned to bring together all of the various tribes, religions and ethnic groups found throughout Nigeria. The city was designed to be a safe one, one that is united and peaceful, unlike many other Nigerian cities that experience high rates of violence.

The city’s population is hugely diverse, and groups that reside here include Afo, Gwari, Hausa, Koro, and Bassa, to name a few. The official language of the city is English, although other languages are spoken, including Ibo, Fulani, and Yoruba. Approximately half of the city’s residents are Muslim, 40% are Christian, and the remainder follow other religions.

I'm bringing to you the list of the most populous cities in nigeria.

A city is a large human settlement. It can be defined as a permanent and densely settled place with administratively defined boundaries whose members work primarily on non-agricultural tasks. Wikipedia*

A village is a small community in a rural area. A town is a populated area with fixed boundaries and a local government. A city is a large or important town. Grammarly blog*



{1} LAGOS> 14,368,332. World {16}

Lagos's 2020 population is now estimated at 14,368,332. In 1950, the population of Lagos was 325,218. Lagos has grown by 2,129,126 since 2015, which represents a 3.26% annual change.

Lagos is a port city and the most populous city in Nigeria. The metropolitan area originated on islands, including Lagos Island, that were protected from the Atlantic Ocean by sand spits. The city has expanded onto the mainland west of the lagoon, however, with Ikeja, the capital of Lagos, and Agege over 25 miles northwest of Lagos Island. Lagos has a population estimated at 21 million in 2016, which makes it the largest city in Africa.

The Lagos State Government estimates the population of Lagos at 17.5 million, although this number has been disputed by the Nigerian Government and found to be unreliable by the National Population Commission of Nigeria, which put the population at over 21 million in 2016. Lagos surpassed Cairo in size in 2012 to become the largest city of Africa. The population was estimated at just 11.2 million in 2011 by the United Nations.

Lagos Demographics

Lagos was originally inhabited by the Awori group of the Yoruba people. Today, it has a very diverse population due to heavy migration from other parts of Nigeria and surrounding countries. The Yoruba are the dominant ethnic group. There are more than 250 ethnic groups represented in Lagos, however, including the Hausa, Igbo, and Fulani. Small minorities of American, British, East Indian, Chinese, white Zimbabwean, Greek, Syrian, Lebanese and Japanese are also present in the city. In the mid-19th century, many ex-slaves of Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Cuban descent and emigrants from Sierra Leone created communities in Lagos, along with ex-slaves from the Americas. They became missionaries and merchants in the city.

While there are many millionaires in Lagos, about 66% of the population lives in slums. The city has been dubbed the "mega-city of slums," with millions living in and around the lagoons with no access to roads, clean water, electricity or waste disposal. The World Bank has identified 9 of the largest slums of the city for upgrading with a $200 million loan from the United States, which would benefit about one million people. One large slum is Makoko, which has no security and rampant crime.

Lagos Population Growth

Lagos has enjoyed tremendous growth, reaching 21 million from just 1.4 million as recently as 1970. The city now generates 25% of Nigeria's total gross domestic product, and it has many millionaires. It is also the 8th fastest growing city in Africa.

Oddly enough, in 1999 the United Nations predicted that the city's metropolitan area, which had only about 290,000 inhabitants in 1950, would exceed 20 million by 2010 and thus become one of the ten most populated cities in the world. It is certainly close - between the predictions and current estimates - and we will continue to watch as the growth unfolds in this city.

Lagos is also a window to the future. In about 25 years, at the rate Nigeria is currently growing, it will have a population of 300 million, or the same as the present-day United States, all living in an area the size of Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona. With the population doubling over the last 15 years, living standards across Nigeria remain poor. Today, 25% of Africans are Nigerian.

By 2050, Lagos' population is expected to double once more, which will make it the 3rd largest city in the world but with less infrastructure than any other large cities of the world.
