STOP STRESSING YOURSELF WITH THAT UR FRAUDULENT POLITICAL CENSUS POPULATION. YOUR OPINION OR JAMB POPULATION DOES NOT MATTER.NO MATTER THE INSIGNIFICANT or inconsequential of the entire East to Nigeria POPULATION, Avarage life of a Southwestern can never be better than southeast.If you like,win the 2023 Election, the life of a Yoruba man can never be better than life of an igbo man.Hausa/Fulani has been ruling Nigeria more than ur so called inconsequential igbo people, tell me,is Hausa Standard of living better than igbo standard of living? Igbo people are God own people,and very INDUSTRIOUS,NO TRIBE IN NIGERIA CAN SUPRESS THEM.FULANI CAN NEVER CONQUER IGBOS THE WAY THEY CONQUER OTHER TRIBES.WE ARE NOT LAZY AND POOR LIKE YOU..if you increase your import duties,we increase our price of goods and stil sell to you.
Plz tell.your so called %95 consequential people that they are lazy and only envious of great igbo people cos they conquer them In their land.No amount of envy can stop igbo man from giving up on hustlings.
No this and have peace of mind.

Go ahead and argue with JAMB, INEC, NCC, Google satelite and those who Igbo candidates filled their original states of origin in their JAMB form.

Until you do that and prove those authentic organizations and individuals wrong, I sympathize with you because I was once like you too.

My reason for raising this is the reality that we now have better data capturing tools and I am interested to know why this inflation of Igbo population has gone on for years and who are those benefitting from it.

I am not interested in uncouth exchanges or tribal fights you want. I am just fascinated about the power of data and how it works.

The politicians are one step ahead of you by knowing that Igbo have a low voting strength that is so low that you can ignore their votes and win and it is politically futile and naive to bank on SE votes because it is the least populated of all the 5 geopolitical zones.

Please use your Google. Obi stays in Onitsha. He may have a house in ikoyi but it doesn't change the fact that he lives in Onitsha.

Their land is barren and without prospect. That is why they runs to other people's land for prosperity

The only issue I have with them is that they are ingrates. Their case is like the proverbial slave accommodated with open arms in the home of his master but soon starts swearing by the ancestors of his master's as if he's one of them.

If you earn an igbo man's respect you get it. Stop being a jobless respect apologist.

Lagos has 20 million people of which 17 million are not original Lagos people.

How does your post negate what he said?

Lagos is the smallest state and contains 20 million people. Anambra has a bigger landmass and so can certainly contain a larger number of people with a larger number of industries.

Anambra people are great people. The brain drain and human resource drain on Anambra is too much. We must work individually and collectively to reverse that.

trutharena:

Are you okay?

Stop spewing nonsense. The Governor is making a political statement. Anambra is still the most populous state in Nigeria aside Lagos, Kano and Rivers. And the state has figured out waste management system that other states in Nigeria should copy.

Expect Improved Waste Evacuation Process Across Anambra State

-as 31 contractors are mobilize to work -

Anambra State Government on Thursday, July 1, 2022 mobilized 31 contractors on waste evacuation across all the 21 Local Government Areas in the state.

Speaking to news men on the new development, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Anambra Waste Management Agency, ASWAMA, Chief Ifeanyi Ozoemena, Nzeakonobi, assured of improved waste evacuation process across all the communities in the 21 local government of the state.

Chief Ozoemena, explained that "the state government mobilized 31 contractors on 1st of July and they have all commenced work simultaneously, therefore we are expecting improved waste evacuation in all the litter points henceforth." He further assured that there will be no backlog anywhere going forward.

It will be recalled that on assumption of office on 17th March, 2022, the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, suspended contract of all the contractors handling waste evacuation in the state in other for the new government to review their activities and come up with new modalities that will serve the state better on waste evacuation and management.

Igbos naturally travels and it's never a weakness.

The Japanese and Chinese go out there to explore, the igbos go out there to escape poverty.
Don't get it twisted by comparing your people them.

Those useless movies are to blame, they all see Lagos as their small London.
They use all their lives savings to buy traveling bag and enter night bus to come here.
Those silly movie producers should be fined heavily for exploding Lagos population.

Not true sir. I used to think that Igbos are a majority in population and that we have more Igbo outside SE but data has proven otherwise. There are more Igbo living in the 5 Igbo SE states and Anambra is no exception..

My hypothesis is that Igbo population has been inflated. The most emperical data show that 20% of Igbo are domiciled outside the SE, 80% are domiciled within the 5 Igbo SE states and the Igbo population is actually a minority population.

Luckily, numbers do not have emotion. Below are the facts:

1. Due to history, cultural affinity, linguistic spread of the Igbo language and Igbo-speakers, most of this 20% Igbo living outside Igboland will be more in states such as Rivers, Delta, Kogi and Benue that border the 5 Igbo SE states than far away places like Lagos, Kano and Abuja.

2. Data from recent inec voters registration for Osun alone is higher than the total registration in Igbo South East (screenshot below)

3. Satelite image of Aba, Onitsha, Enugu, Ebonyi compared to Ibadan show a small area of dense population https://www.nairaland.com/7186666/aba-ibadan-satellite-picture-aba

4. Data from 2021 JAMB registration show that 447,857 are indigenes of SW states that registered their states of origin as Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Ogun for JAMB against 320,306 indigenes of SE that registered their states of origin as Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra. Only 20% (70K out of the 320K) of the JAMB candidates of SE origin live outside the 5 Igbo SE states.

5. Demograhics data of internet subscribers also support my hypothesis like other demographic data captured with better data capturing tools, https://www.nairaland.com/7203013/states-nigeria-largest-internet-subscribers that validated my hypothesis that Igbo population in SE is inflated and the Igbo are a minority group in terms of population.

6. Data from overall inec voters registration show Igbo among the lowest with the only Igbo state, Anambra state, at the bottom of the top 10 https://nairametrics.com/2022/06/30/top-10-states-with-the-highest-number-of-registered-voters-as-of-june-27-2022/

The politicians knew this reality all along hence no serious effort to canvass for votes aggressively in SE like they do for other zones.

SE may just be same population as states with similar land size as it like Kaduna or Katsina or Oyo and the SE is by far the least populated of all the geopolitical zones.

As things stand now, no serious contender can bank on votes from SE and a serious contender will not get the voting strength incentive from the SE.

The SE is a minority vote region even far behind the minority tribes-dominated SS from these data.

Data from JAMB show the Igbo population is abysmally low, so low that only Imo state featured in the top 10 states with registered indigenes sitting for JAMB and for Igbo dominated schools, the Igbo were no. 4 top for universities with UNN ,No. 8 for polytechnics and no single college of Education in Igboland made it among the top 10 colleges of Education with highest registered JAMB candidates !
https://utmeofficial.com.ng/jamb/jamb-registration-statistics-2020-2021-by-course-universities-polytechnics-nce-and-state-of-origin/

On number of JAMB applicants who are Igbo, Anambra state is the Igbo state with the highest number of registered candidates yet was No. 16 on the list far far behind! And all the JAMB candidates registered for JAMB in the whole of SE just adds up to about the total candidates in Lagos state alone or sum for Oyo and Ogun.

As at now the best and cleanest data indicate that about 80% of Igbo are domiciled in the SE while 20% are domiciled outside the 5 Igbo SE states.

Out of the 320,306 Igbo candidates in the 2020-2021, max.(when you add total candidates that registered for JAMB in those 5 SE states and assume they are all Igbo) only about 250K(~80%)account for candidates that sat for exam in the SE while about 70K(20%) are Igbo candidates who registered outside the SE to represent the total Igbo candidates.
It makes sense because you have more Igbo domiciled in SE than outside SE.


So where is the high Igbo population I used to imagine??

Internet subscribers; low

Inec registration; low

Jamb applicants writing Jamb in SE; low;

Jamb applicants based on State of origin; low

land mass; low
Yet
Analogue Census; High(?)

So all these data conflate to prove that Igbo are a minority group by population but have inflated numbers which call for scientific enquiry.

You just composed beautiful nonsense here. first of all who inflated the igbo figures? the figures are grossly under reported. Again for the north asides Kano can you justify the high population figures. It may shock you to know that after Lagos state the next state with high population density(note I didn't say population) is Anambra state and It has a smaller Land mass than Lagos meaning that if all people of Anambra come back it would be challenging to get land for any Business purpose let alone for residential purpose. Your source for the statistics is a highly controversial census figure that the former NPC head Festus Odimegwu stated that Nigeria has never had a sincere census. even our population of 200million is highly in doubt if you look at it from Hindsight.
Let me also burst your bubble MTN has the highest concentration of Masts per square km in Anambra after Lagos.
look the low population figures are designed for political expediency to limit the south east everyone knows that. if you do census of igbos against Yorubas in Lagos the margin will be 42 to 58 in ratio to show you that it is no a wide margin at all. that is why thugs were sent to disrupt votes in igbo dominated areas in Lagos.
