Where they live not where they come from. For example coscharis is from Anambra but live in Lagos. Arthur Eze is from Anambra but also live in Abuja.

These people should stop fooling themselves. Nigeria has no reliable data because if you need credible data you must invest in it. It's a big joke that Kano or Kaduna isn't on that list. Organising an ordinary census is even a big issue in Nigeria.

Muslims in Kano and Kaduna have eaten up the Christians and this is the result you get.
I'm saying this as a Muslim.

Don't mind this joke. The north constitute more than 80% of wealthiest Nigerians. If a data collector or collator grin doesn't know anywhere in Nigeria outside Lagos, you expect this type of deliberate fallacy and be termed statisense.

this has been my thought. how did they come up with this statistics? They are just fabricating figures from public sentiment and a small pool of people
