We are talking of Port Harcourt vs Calabar (in terms of Popularity) not Cross River vs Port Harcourt.
Forgive him!

You know nothing, what is your definition of popular? Except calabar revieves more than 1.5million tourists per year I'm very certain port Harcourt is more popular. People know cross river is a state more than they know rivers state is a state. I told someone from the north I'm from rivers state she didn't know what I was talking about until I said port Harcourt, but I don't think cross river is that level even if cross river is not famous if you mention it people will know it is in Nigeria.
e.g If 2million people know calabar 1.5m are familiar with cross river and all 2million will know C.R is in Nigeria with very little persuasion.
For PH it is worse because Port Harcourt is more populated than calabar and more famous yet people don't know Rivers state despite these high numbers, so if 3m people know port Harcourt 1m know rivers state which is more impressive than calabar considering the fact that cross river is more known than Rivers state due to how famous port Harcourt is. in the Rivers state itself the University of port Harcourt is not located in port Harcourt, port Harcourt international airport is not located in port Harcourt amongst many other things and yet port Harcourt has kept growing you now hear people saying things like Choba, port Harcourt meanwhile choba is supposed to be a neighbouring city or community just like port Harcourt but port Harcourt is swallowing it's surrounding cities and communities and making them districts in port Harcourt even when these communities and cities are bigger than port Harcourt itself. this is absolutely not the case in Calabar people know ogoja, obudu and so on port Harcourt has so over shadowed Rivers state that many non residents of the state know nowhere else but port Harcourt.
See long note and unnecessary screenshot you are posting.
Who is talking of inhabitants?
Who is talking of Population?

We are talking of POPULARITY among Nigerians.
Most Nigerians take anyone from Both Cross River state and Akwa Ibom to be CALABAR. Many memes on Calabar women etc covers Old Cross River State.
Calabar is seen in Nigeria, not as just a city of but a very big Ethic group, I know what am saying and for the record, you can't even compare a legendary city of Calabar to yesterday's Port Harcourt.

@ Op, I disagree wit u on Oyo. Are u taking abt Oyo state or Oyo town, because Ibadan is more popular than Oyo state or Oyo town.
I expect u to name places like
Aba, Warri, Onitsha.
Ibadan is the largest city in West Africa. Oyo is not known like that.

all these people confusing themselves with Nigerian states and its capital, is it that they didn't attend primary school or where not thought Nigerian states and capital

crass ignorance
As a pupil, you can cram and recite what ever, without having there knowledge/understanding.
You reason and get convinced when you become adult.

United Arab Emirate (UAE) is a country, while Dubai is just a state like Lagos, while Abu Dhabi is like Abuja (Capital). Below are the list of the 7 states.


Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm al-Qaiwain, Fujairah, Ajman and Ra's al-Khaimah.

Local popularity works with population, wide popularity works with many things including mythology, misconception and many other factors.
Lagos, for instance, is over 7 times the population of Dubai but Dubai is far more popular.
