Nonsense comparison between Kano and Lagos... Whenever they say Lagos, it's the entire Lagos, because Lagos is a Megalopolis, but when they say Kano, they mean the Kano City which comprises only 6 out of the 44 LGAs in the State.

Those outside LGAs are by far more populated than the Metropolitan LGAs multiple times... Besides, Lagos is to a large extent populated by outsiders, both from other States and neighboring Countries, while Kano is not.

The earlier Yorubas get this into their skull the better for them.

They don't need to mention it, Lagos is a Megalopolis we all know that, while other States mentioned are not. Besides, if you calculate the quoted Lagos population against the Landmass, you'll arrive at a population density similar to that of Lagos, anything short of that will give you an unrealistic population density.

The population of the whole Anambra is not up to 6.9million... grin
Only Lagos, (that's the island) is 15 million, not the whole state and you think Onitsha is not up to 6 million.

Keep deceiving yourself with NBS and NPC figures. In 2006, Bola Tinubu conducted a census and found 21 million people in Lagos while NPC figure puts Lagos state at 9 million.

The same figure says Aba is about 200k.

Yes, according to fulani-controlled NPC.

But in reality, Lagos and Onitsha are far more populated.

Onitsha can be more populated than Kano city agreed, but you should refer to my earlier comment, that Kano city comprises only 6 out of the 44 LGAs, with each of the remaining 38 LGAs boasting of a population relatively close to those at the Metropolis... Urban LGAs, that's where our strength lies... Visit and tour Kano, you'd understand better.

Maiduguri
Infact Going by this Publication, This Stats is a complete rubish. The Only Viable location in Borno state right is Maiduguri and 100s of Thousand of people if not Millions have moved from the Adjoining Town to the city there by making the city a great Metropolis. The state is now accomodating more than 50% of the entire Population of Borno state due to Boko Haram Insurgency. So the figure for Maiduguri is False
You are just confusing yourself. YOu just said Maiduguri is accommodating most of Borno's population because of the insurgency leading to the build-up of the city and yet you are saying the stat is false.

stop confusing yourself dude.

Ilorin
Though i am not from Kwara state or from Ilorin, But i School in Ilorin and Lived in Ilorin for 5years, I studied geography at Unilorin, so this gave me idea of the breakdown of Kwara state census, as at the Last Census, The official Population figure acording to NPC was 1.3m(that was 15years ago). Ilorin alone has more than 50% of the Kwara Population and as at the Las count, Kwara has more than 3m population. Where did you see this figure? Do you want to Tell me the population of 1.3m in 2006 decreased to 1.2m in 2020?
NPC stats are falsified. The stat here is from international organisation that has nothing to gain falsifying the data.

Both Lagos city and Onitsha is more populated but Kano State is more populated than Anambra while Lagos state is more populated than Kano and Anambra States combined.

It's used to measure the spread of development or how development is spreading over an area.

SouthEastFacts:
Demographia recently released the largest built-up urban area in the world for 2021. Here's how Nigeria's top 15 cities compare with the rest of the world and their estimated population.

Lagos

Position in Nigeria: 1
Position in the World: 20
Estimated Population: 15.5 million do you say dubai ? Make I no hear that rubbish for ur month

Onitsha

Position in Nigeria: 2
Position in the World: 64
Estimated Population: 6.9 million

Kano

Position in Nigeria: 3
Position in the World: 105
Estimated Population: 4.6 million

Note: we could clearly see that both Lagos and Onitsha are more populated than Kano according to international estimates.

Ibadan

Position in Nigeria: 4
Position in the World: 141
Estimated Population: 3.7 million

Abuja

Position in Nigeria: 5
Position in the World: 152
Estimated Population: 3.5 million

Benin City

Position in Nigeria: 6
Position in the World: 287
Estimated Population: 1.9 million

Port Harcourt

Position in Nigeria: 7
Position in the World: 324
Estimated Population: 1.7 million

Kaduna

Position in Nigeria: 8
Position in the World: 331
Estimated Population: 1.6 million

Benin City and Port Harcourt are more populated than Kaduna City. It seems the North inflates its population figures.

Enugu

Position in Nigeria: 9
Position in the World: 423
Estimated Population: 1.3 million

Ilorin

Position in Nigeria: 10
Position in the World: 434
Estimated Population: 1.2 million

Aba

Position in Nigeria: 11
Position in the World: 450
Estimated Population: 1.2 million

At position 450, Aba is one of the most built-up urban cities in the world. The city is more built-up than the capital of Czech Republic Prague (464), Seville in Spain (487) and the capital of Serbia, Belgrade (491).

Warri

Position in Nigeria: 12
Position in the World: 500
Estimated Population: 1.1 million

Nsukka

Position in Nigeria: 13
Position in the World: 536
Estimated Population: 995k

Nsukka is a village in Enugu and home to the Univeristy of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).

Maidugari

Position in Nigeria: 14
Position in the World: 594
Estimated Population: 879k

Despite being war-torn, Maiduguri is one of the most built-up urban in Nigeria. Impressive!!!

Jos

Position in Nigeria: 15
Position in the World: 602
Estimated Population: 867

Next time you want to insult your country, just know that Lagos ad Onitsha are more built-up than these heavy-weight global cities;

1. Dubai
2. Madrid
3. Singapore
4. Accra
5. Milan
6. Barcelona
7. Cape Town
8. Kuwait City (capital of Kuwait)
9. Detroit
10. Athens
11. Rome
12. Manchester City

Your words were without reasoning
And didn't you say this? grin

If you don't understand what I wrote up there, why don't you consult Google? Nonetheless, let me come down a bit to your level.

If you take a look at an average street in Lagos, it is roamed by fairly 50% men and 50% women, but that's not the case with Kano City.. Most of our women are indoors, that's why you have this illusion of a sparse Kano. By the time we ask all our women to also come out, you'd see the difference.

Secondly, Lagos is inhabited mostly by outsiders, to the extent that some people are even laying claims om Lagos (Igbos). By the time every Lagos resident is asked to go back to his State, you'd see the difference. You and I know that Southerners from all walks of life view Lagos as a Paradise of some sort, and aspire to eventually relocate to Lagos, at some point in their lives.

We equally have a substantial part of Lagos population as foreigners, both from neighboring Countries and other non-African States....

So coming from what I said above, if everyone would be asked to go back to his father's house, how many people do you think will remain in Lagos?

Both Lagos city and Onitsha is more populated but Kano State is more populated than Anambra while Lagos state is more populated than Kano and Anambra States combined.

Okay, let's break it down this way, how many percent of Kano have you toured compared to Lagos and Onitsha, bearing in mind that Kano City comprises only 6 out of the 44 LGAs in the State?
