Active voice subscription will be more indicative of the comparative population but even then some Muslim women are not allowed to use any phone at all

Muslim women not allowed by whom?

The higher the number of Internet users in a particular state, the higher the number of yahoo boys doing their legitimate business in that particular state.

This is expected based on the population of the respective states.

I doubt this has anything to do with population. My internet IP address shows Port Harcourt or sometimes Anambra though I'm based in Imo Sttae

yomi531:
That 2006 Census was not legit

How did you know? Did you handle the collection of data during that census?

Omo una go just come online the spread watin una no sure about.

Even with the NIN, PVC, and Internet data, it still shows kano has more population if you account to the fact that most of it’s population are poor and engaged in the informal sector. Unlike Lagos that is like 99% urbanized.

Why north no lie about poverty rate, illiteracy, and out of school children, shey you believe those data’s?

If they said Kano has the highest number of out of school children, you won’t say it’s a fake stats abi?


In fact during the census, our entire street was not counted and it was in the north. We lived in the state capital, now imagine what happened in remote villages.

Una no wan gree see north get that population….omo they get that population oooo, make nobody whine you.

Their population are sparsely spread across multiple villages and local governments. Unlike in the south where there is more rural to urban migration.

Till today villagers still dey marry 4 wifes and give birth to 10 children plus. I am not caping.

yomi531:
Nin and PVCs nko. Shey u know how they like elections over there abi?

Those are also not yardstick. As a matter of fact, it far easier to obtain those in Lagos here than over there. In some villages over there, you may not even have access roads for cars except bikes. Do you expect to see kiosk or centers for registration everywhere like in Lagos? No. You may have to travel hundreds of km to obtain them in some instances. The percentage of uneducated is also high over there, leading many not to even not understand the usefulness of a NIN. That they like elections there is not an indication that everyone there has easy access to obtain a PVC like it is in Lagos. So all your points are still dependent on a number of factors.

U09ce:
Muslim women not allowed by whom?

.Some Muslim women are not allowed to use a phone by their husbands or how else do you explain the large difference between Lagos and Kano state? The difference is too huge

Marrying multiple wives no follow abeg. Yorubas , Ibibios, Urbobos and the likes also have multiple wives. Till date. My dad had 3 wives too . 16 -18 year olds are giving birth everyday here in South South. Leave story bros

MarketDispatch:
The data does not show the people who have only Torchlight phones that do not connect to Internet

So u mean there are no Torchlight phone users in Lagos or anywhere in Naija apart from Kano?

Those are not excuses. They are well represented in PVC and NIN but not in BVN, active sims, Internet subscription and etc. Which statistics is more trustworthy? I will take the ones that involve money

No current stats shows Kano to be more than Lagos. Not NIN, PVC, Active sims or any other. The only confusion is in the large disparity between the internet subs in the two states which can be because of women not allowed to use phones

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.

I have always known Lagos to be more populous from primary sch days(Social Studies). When the 2006 Census came out, I was really confused. The thing surprised me and many others. Very funny

Your dads age mates still dey marry and give births? Una dey do aure-saki? where you see a 70 year old man marry new wives after divorcing the old and start giving birth like a young man.

For your life how many people you don see with 30 to 40 plus children and still giving birth at old age? Not one or two instances, i mean how comon is it?

You don see where grandpa and grandson dey give birth and their children become age mates? Is it common?

These are not just few instances, they are very common like common and even their current generation still dey run that pattern.

Yes it happens in the south-south and other places, but what is the rate compared to the north?

Bro! Do you know tha birth rate is even unrecorded in that region, many of them don’t go to the hospital which is why i believe Nigeria is almost 300 million.

Omo! I don argue this thing pass you before until evidence look me for eye. Just ask people working with WHO and other NGOs in the deep north.

As at 2013, my mother told me they went into the deep forests and met a whole Fulani civilization that is cut off from the present world. Maybe they are the current bandits we have today (I don’t know) but those are full communities with thousands of children in the woods. It took NGOs and other bodies to gain access and vacinate those people.


Omo bro leave talk, north de give birth watin no good. At this point, it is scary because those populations are not built into better Human Resources due to lack or education. I wonder what will happen in Nigeria, in the next 30 years.

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?

You might have a point with the PVC though, because they are even more politics minded than people living in Lagos meaning many more people didn't register in Lagos compared to Kano. And yet, they have 5.1m as against Lagos' 6m




Thank you for your attention to this matter

It is not because of women alone, though it might be part of it. There are people living in the stone age in the deep north. Your villages in Osun, or Enugu are not same as the villages Kano or Katsina.

I have met a farmer who said, he’s children will never go to school except Islamic education. Now imagine that kind man in 21st century.

Such people are not a significant number of people. Even if they put you in a cage in this 21st century you will break out. How much is a phone that a day labourer can not buy? NIN says the North is around 55 percent of the population but cement sales data says they buy almost sixty percent of all cement. They have money and you can't have money and not enjoy life at all no matter what the Quran says

I have feelings lagos must have overtaken kano because currently it attracts people from the north, south, east and west at an alarming rate. In fact people from other African countries move to Lagos. But i am sure that population in kano is no lie.

Even with the 2006 census, the population was almost a tie and Lagos hasn’t gain the level of publicity it has now then. Now with the boom of afrobeats, and nollywood. Lagos is like the dream land of people around central Africa and west Africa which is the reason why it get alot of hate on social media, due to jealousy.

Lagos has always been the London of Naija. Everyone has someone in Lagos. Lots of people have always migrated to Lagos right from time. No be today something

Please can you give me a link to the cement data? I am not trying to insinuate that you are lying, i am just curious if there will be reasons why the north consumes more cement and if they stated it.

Anyways regarding the sim users stuff, this are the reasons AI gave me.

We dey talk katsina, Kano, etc not niger state. Niger state are not Hausa-Fulani. Most of the north east and north central don’t give birth like the North-west because their way of life is different. Though that of the north east is also high when compared to other geopolitical zones.

Even during the 2006 census, niger state wasn’t ranked that high, so their birth rate has never been that high.
The main people giving birth are the north west and some parts of north east

So are you comparing the network coverage in Lagos and Kano? Seriously? It seems you have not gone out of Lagos and probably south west. I am very familiar with the Northern terrain and currently living in Lagos. So, I know what I am telling you. Not everywhere that is urban and opened up like Lagos please. If you do BVN statistics, Lagos will still be far ahead due to easy accessibility. That doesn't automatically translates to more people in Lagos. If you check some stats of other cities in developed countries that are far less in population than Lagos, you will discover they have more internet subscription than what Lagos has. It is simply because they can easily access and afford it. It doesn't mean they are more in population than Lagos
