Bayelsa is South South.
Even if it is South East, how does Peter Obi come into the matter

Samuels90:
Bayelsa have been unfortunate with developments truly. With the abundance of resources she possess, the state should be flying on many things.

pigmania:
And some Benin and Delta boys go dey argue say them get active yahoozay boys pass Lagos. Ibadan (Oyo) even dust them. The Ado Ekiti boys self no much. Them go just dey make mouth, Lasgidi rules.

ijayalolo:
That might be ignorance sir, Lagos is very small in land mass, so a small population might look large on the surface.. More like putting 10 people in a single room, that room will look choked compared to 25 people in a mansion.



Thank you for your attention to this matter

erico2k2:
Which abundance of resources, E pass Fish and Oil?

erico2k2:

LadyExcellency:
Toktok, youtube and instagram dey consume data pass anything. Businesses take lower data consumption than pleasure.

yomi531:
What do u have to say about the Records from PVC registration, Nin , waec and others pointing to the fact that , lagos is the most populous? Are u trying to say these records didn't capture the entire 44 lgas in Kano?

pigmania:

if this is true so ekiti people no dey enlightened. bayelsa people dey for bunkery jungle

erico2k2:
Bross I refer you to small town called SAPELE, just check,I rest my case-

dreamxhaser:
Like i replied someone above….the population of Lagos are more active, educated, and enlightened than those kano. You will be shocked there are people in rural kano without NIN or PVC, i am not capping.

Though it is still possible, Lagos might have overtaken kano in past few year’s since the last censors was in 2006.

This data is misleading, especially to the gullible ones who will believe anything they see without logical reasoning. It would have been better if the report were based on population percentages rather than just the raw figures.

U09ce:
I disagree. The data captions says it's for internet subscribers. It's not a measure of percentage against a state's population. The mobile operators or NCC are not responsible or do no have access to a state's population data base, I believe.

What might be misleading in this data is whether bit represents only unique subscribers or not. One person can have five active Sims for calls or data.

zikter:
You maybe right, but don't also forget that, Lagos is much more urban than Kano. There is hardly anywhere in lagos state that gsm network is lacking. Kano on the other hand is massive in landmass compare to Lagos with some populace in interior villages you can't even find network. The level of education is also a factor. So, using subscription as a basis may not be enough

Dalohad:
I laugh at Ekiti State.

The so called 'We are the enlightened people'.

Na their EKSU professors of Soil Science go Imo State, go rig elections for Uzodinma 2nd tenure.

Dem don collect their own dollars, but dem no use am do better thing their sleepy failing state.

O ma se o.
