I stay in Onitsha and we have no Unknown gunmen there. Go back to you state in SW and wait for Fulani herdsmen in the forest to strafe your A***ss

Pakute:
Pls, leave out Chinese and Indian industries. We're talking Anambra industrialists.. give us statistics.. dazall

PresidObi:
If all.the industrialists from Anambra decide to build their Industries in Anambra, where will you find the land for such?

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

FreeStuffsNG:
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.

Pakute:
Lol.. They ran away from Dubai that Obi built and hide under brown roofs in SW.

haffaze777:
No wonder you are abusive,well I want us to do live video tomorrow by 10am, you will go to head bridge and do video and I will do the same here in abeokuta, let's see who will come back with his head intact.you don't have unknown gunmen but you have saint unknown gunmen.

OriOko88:
Only Onitsha and nnewi are densely populated in anambra.. Other towns over there are stark villages with few mansions. I think anambra has high mortality rate hence their low population. The rate at which young people die there is a major course for concern. Its as if d old witches are killing d younger ones....maybe that's one of d major reasons igbos dont stay in their towns.. Fear of village people.
I served in ekwusigo in 2016, d rate of deaths then was so high..and people think its normal thing.. They even do Burial like carnival.,and by 6 7 pm everywhere don silent like grave. I quickly japa without looking back after service.

Thantayo:
Please bring your people back by improving your state, just so they stop packing themselves into lagos like titus sardines.

I didn't read the post.

PresidObi:
Anambra is a small state with a very large population. Anambra cannot contain all of Anambra people and all their large companies, estates, offices etc.

Anambra has spilled into many neighbouring states like Delta, Enugu, Imo.

Since the 1940s, Anambra people have been moving into other parts of the world, but they always return, with a lot of prosperity.

Pakute:
Including your creame de la creame dem be Lagos boys.

blazingblender:
Swears alot of Anambra citizen never smell their village since Dem born Dem
Somebody like my junior brother
Who has only visited the village twice
But the thing be say if you go now
Them go use juju pursue you

PresidObi:
Certainly, but they have to be poor civil servants and others willing to be squeezed into small flats or rooms, at best high rise buildings. If 30 million people build the types of mansions we see from there on the ground, space will finish.

Trash

Another imposter pretending to be Yoruba.
God why are igbos so fucking useless. Why do they always lie about their identity?

This is why I want tinubu to be president. We need to go back to regional government or federalism. If not pls break Nigeria up so we can start yoruba nation.

It is degrading for we yorubas to be in the same country with those rats called igbos. I have no problem with other tribe but igbos are just parasites.

FreeStuffsNG:
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.

ziondaughter247:
I am telling you! If you remove Onitsha and Nnewi from Anambra, they are practically nothing. The funny thing is that most of these people that come here to make noise are not from these towns. I was telling a friend the other day, only an Nnewi and Ontisha indigene has the right to make noise - I give it to them (especially Nnewi), they have done very well for themselves. But the rest are just mere villages with one or two rich people that will not allow the world rest. There are rich people in almost every town in the southeast and they don't make noise, insult people or cause trouble everywhere.. Have you been to Abiriba in Abia Those ones don't make noise ooh

dangoteinlaw:

ziondaughter247:
I think it is population by number as per number of inhabitants, just like Lagos, Rivers, Kano etc - whose major inhabitants are non-indigenes who relocated to the state for greener pastures. I find it very arrogant when these same Anambra ppl claim that they developed Lagos but quite a number of the traders in Onitsha market are not from Anambra, they just came there because of the commerce in the area. And it is silly for them to keep bragging about higher GDP and all that but hate when Lagos claims the highest GDP, as it's only natural that Anambra GDP is better than other southeast states due to it's vantage location...Any area that is close to water and is not landlocked will easily attract commericial and development activites, just like Lagos

But in terms of number of indigenes, IMO STATE has the highest number of Igbo indigenes. No amount of lies by these people will distort this FACT...

At least you dont see Yorubas running out of thier region in droves like your ignorant complaining brothers and sisters in SE

Abagworo:
Before Nollywood Lagos was already as it is presently. So it has nothing to do with Nollywood

oneeast:
I know you are an Abia miscreant, instead of you to face your backward useless worthless shithole state which is the worst in Nigeria, but you are here deceiving yourself.

You are talking about Onitsha and Nnewi, are they not part and parcel of Anambra? Why won't an Anambra indigene be proud of those places even if they are not from there? Onitsha for instance has grown to become a cosmopolitan city, that people from everywhere, other states and even foreigners are now part of its growth and development.

Anambra is generally developed and has the richest people in igboland and Nigeria at large.

You are envious and bitter because you have nothing to be proud of in your backward useless shithole state.

SugarGirl44:
But they made it worse with their senseless storylines.
That's why ibos keep seeing Lagos as their saving grace, coupled with the fact that they have the most useless governors in naija, including Pandora.
