don’t be a clown since 1952, the censuses we have had has been one that has been geared towards favoring the hegemony of the north. You need to be in these villages to know that the Hausas can only be 69 million on paper, i was like you until i went there, from when we got our independence, the censuses we’ve conducted have always been geared towards making us believe that the north with a single majority group is bigger than the west and the east combined which is not true, when you now add the population of Fulani, Idoma, Tiv, kanuri, Nupe , Igala, Berom, Ebira etc what will their populatoon now amount to. I don’t have anything against them but let’s be realistic
I can understand that the census has been geared to favour them.....that's the perception we've all had....but even with its bloated figure their population is nothing to be sneezed at.....even if we go with your population size of 45 Million do you mean to tell me 3Million or more of that cannot be in Lagos.....to give you a full understanding of who I am I used to work in a flour company in Apapa as a treasurer for close to 30 years I interacted with these people day in day out cause they bought in bulk to ship northward I held some of them close and they held me close cause I handled their money in the company account, trust me when I tell you that they have the second highest population in Lagos.....if Lagos was not Yoruba Land they would probably be number 1........

Just an estimate but the LASG figure is correct give or take a few thousands. The federal civil service figure is a fair estimate too

Zone by zone. It will be
SW
NC
SS/SE/NW
NE

That will be the distribution of population in Lagos in descending order

They might be number 1, as per their tribe across divide, Hausas from Nigeria alone in Lagos state, i don’t think so, just do well to ask them their nationality, you will be shocked that maybe 15% of those population are not from Nigeria, another 10% is from Fulani, kanuri or one other northern group that were not Hausas from the beginning but has been fully hausanized.

you working with them everyday for such a long time
everyday exposes you to them and might have motivated your ‘bias’

I said i analysed based on the 20 million figure the Lagos state government is brandishing.

15% of 20 million is just about 3 million

you at most would still ask a fraction of them and besides your workplace is only a fraction of the Hausas in Lagos state, even in Benin city here, i discovered many of them are not directly from Nigeria, the same thing when i was in Lagos, shoe-makers, suya people, bikemen, wristwatch sellers etc a chunk of them are from outside, Niger, Mali, Chad etc

Yes estimate is okay. Yoruba are ninety percent of LASG whose spouses are also working.
They are maybe 40 percent of Federal civil service if not more.
Traders will be like seventy percent if all traders are added together.
Artisans will be close to ninety percent
Private schools maybe seventy percent
Almost all petrol stations
More than eighty percent of bakeries
Majority of pure water factories
At least half of people in the transport sector
Hoteliers will be close to eighty percent.
Etc etc etc

because it started at my workplace doesn't mean it ended there, the relationships I built there allowed me to interact with better with others I met outside which Is how I know they are quite a lot of them.....yes once in a while I'll come across a Fulani or some guy from Niger but I'll run into five Hausa guys before that one......the relationships u built at work was what started opening my eyes to just how large they are within the state

It is so easy for those groups that are not Hausas to easily identify as Hausas, it gives them that edge and protection especially those groups whose ethnic heritage has been written off, and many of these guys from other countries would not open up to you except they now feel comfortable with you

They are large quite alright, as a single stand alone group from Nigeria, the Igbo is a larger community in Lagos state

Yes, that is what I meant. Tinubu is also more corrupt than Jonathan and Atiku.

Was Buhari not Abacha’s PTF chairman when the worst KNOWN looting happened, but he denied the looting in 2008 one year after Obasanjo left office having recovered billions of dollars in stolen money?

If Buhari is not more corrupt then why is there more debt even though he more unemployment? What did the Abacha collaborator do with all the revenue and loans? Do you know


Peter Crouch said that he knows when people say CR7 is a better player than Messi that their IQ is low.

Just like that, I have concluded instantly that your IQ is too low for this kind of discussion.

i served there, it is not my fault that I have this attachment to the people, I am a full blooded Bini man, Lagos is a reflection or a miniature Nigeria, it is a solid reflection of all the groups we have in the country, when you compare their population in Lagos to the population of Yorubas, Yorubas would at best be simple majority, deal with it

Nope. You are a Tiv man pretending to be a Bini man.

lol I know your stats are wrong cause the Hausa population in Lagos is way more than the igbo population, if anyone is closer to 20% its them....second where do you put the Indians cause their population in Nigeria is 800k with more than half staying in Lagos most of them 3rd generation Nigerians, you didnt even consider expats .....and if you add up all your stats here everything comes up to 65%, you mean to tell me Yorubas are less than 35% in Lagos? Even if i accept, you and i both know your distribution is flawed cause for every one Igbo man in Lagos there are three Hausa men.

This total moooron continues to pull statistics from his ass.
