Sammy07:What makes you think so? You think you just have to sit down in your one room and make an assumption and feel it's right? Do you know the landmass of Benin city beats that of porthacourt x2 and there is nowhere in Benin city that's presently not populated? |
| Re: List Of Nigerian Cities By Population (2006 Census) by Sammy07: 6:15pm On May 07, 2020 |
Arabiandude:Lol, landmass doesn't mean anything. If it means, Lagos shouldn't be the most populated state in Nigeria. BTW, what makes a city to be populated is Opportunities. Port Harcourt has more opportunities than Benin City. |

Sammy07:What was P.H population in 2006 compared to that of Benin City? Yeah, the whole world knows lot of opportunities abound in P.H, but do you think Benin City has been going backward? See, let me tell you, though Benin City can't be compared to P.H, but Edo as a whole isn't how it was in 2006. The state as a whole has been going forward and population has been on the increase since 2008 when Oshiomhole became Governor. So don't downgrade Edo State as a whole. My brother, Edo State is my state and where I also reside, everywhere in Edo State is currently populated, including residential areas and new locations that where hitherto Forrest are springing up on daily basis. So till you get a verified source done through research or censors, I can't accept P.H been populated than Benin City |

Arabiandude:Alright bro. I understand your view  |

Sammy07:Before 2006, Port Harcourt was always more populous than Benin, just as Abuja was always more populous than Ilorin in 2006. The problem with Nigeria is that we have NO RESPECT for data. We merely write whatever number the DG or some high ranking person from the various states wants. That is why we cannot get anything right in Nigeria. because even the most basic data is a shameful FRAUD 1 Like |

Sammy07:and where's the data?? You can't just make up a statement without backing it up. |

ChimaAdeoye:you'll sit in one corner and be making statement without evidence to back it up |

Sammy07:Says who, when last did you visit Benin city last? Benin city alone is a conglomerate of 7 local government area compare to PH. There isn't a population figure yet apart for 2006 population census. Any you see are circumvented |
