Lol,why are you like this? Islam accept marriage to 4 wives,if you can Carter for the wives. In Nigeria, even the poorest of poor that can't Carter for himself is having More than two wives and bear more than 9-16 children.
Secondly, Islam is strongly against abortion and family planning,so couples tend to have more children than earlier planned. In the middle belt which is a blend of traditionalists, Christians, Muslims and the must multilingual part of Nigeria, polygamy is highly practiced and most ppl gives birth without spacing.
3. Ignorance/poor education. Insufficient or lack of the right information about child spacing and planned care parenthood is also a factor.
In the light of the above, the north is more populated than the south as there's a Sharp variation to those parameters in the southern Nigeria.

No vex Oga....!

Still the population of the North has always been fake with high incidents of fraudulent figures since 1953 census. The main drivers of these cheats are their leaders who were told by the colonial masters to always cheat. Islam supports cheating done against Infidels known as Taqqiya. This has become a tradition over the ages.
We had first hand experiences when in Kaduna you don't enter HausaFulanis houses (Ba a shiga) to count but told that a small mud house contained 56 persons without any proof. The South don't do that as tradition.

Northern region of Nigeria does not have more people than southern region. However the demographic fraud was committed to shift the balance of power to northern region by the British. The fraudulent pattern had been maintained by governments of Nigeria to skew goodies to northern region of Nigeria. However the southerners had been very idiotic especially the so-called sophisticated and deluded minorities.

This region in circle is known as the Sahel region. It's inhabited by Muslims, some of whom marry upto 4 wives or more. Yet, If you travel to various countries in west Africa that share the Sahel region, their population is low and sparse.

The only country in Africa ( and on Earth) that breaks that logic is Nigeria. It doesn't take rocket science to know that there is a big fraud going on.

Please stop misleading people. You don't know the extent of the Sahel in Nigeria and most of West Africa. 98 - 99% of the areas you circled in Nigeria are in the Sudan and not Sahel Savanna.

Flier:
The have more population if you look at their polygamous way of life
Average Hausa man has 3-20 wives and as many as 50 children

Polygamous doesn't translate into more population. If you look at the ration of men:women wich stood at 49:51 percent, it means any man that has more 1 wife is indirectly blocking some other men chances.

You also have to look at child mortality rate, crude dealth rate and so many other indeces that shows the north in a very bad light.

Lol you guys have some dumb hot takes. I personally doubt if the north has bigger population but claiming it doesn't have huge population because it's a desert is dumb. Lol Egypt is a desert yet it has 98 million people some how because of the Nile. The River Benue and Niger make Nigeria's huge population possibe.

I think you are not so bright to pool out the Egyptian argument. This hypothesis fall flat on so many fronts;
1. About 90% of Eguptian population lives within the Caira-Alexandra-port said-Ismaili axis. An area of land that is along the medetaranian sea wile the interior of egypt is sparsely poluted even though the nile rivers passes through these areas.

2. The Nile river is much bigger and the volume of water is much larger than that of the River Niger.

3. The River Niger passes through the center of Nigeria and states with these areas have much lower population than those in the core north, despite these states having better vegetation and larger fresh water.

Finally, the population of the core-north is highly exagorated. When you travel to these areas or a quick google map investigation will reveal the true population of these states.

.

let's forget the north with their population scam.....they may be able to cheat natality but can't cheat mortality,for sure...


when it comes to election periods,cow and camel authomatically exceed the whole population of the south south...

When 1 man marries 4 wives, he is simply denying 3 other men potential wives. Marrying more than 1 wife is not equal to having more population.

If 1 man marries more than one wife, the children he produces with those women are equivalent to the children that those women could have produced if they had married other men in monogamous relationship.

This creates an artificial scarcity of women for younger men who are very vulnerable and can be easily promised 72 virgins in heaven.

Also take note that China has been the most populous country for centuries yet they were majorly a monogamous society.

Hmmm.. This ur analysis is top notch.Smart:

1. Did you look at the last map posted? The river tributaries are there in core north as well.

2. You're point about core north have much higher population is false according to Nigerias own stats.

3. I already said my doubts about the population. Post your google map images as proof.

Blue3k:
Look at the last map and the tributaries. I posted one since people like yourself wouldn't do it. Are you going to pretend the rivers on the map dont exist?

So it's not major rivers again? It's tributaries? You trying to make a joke somewhere there?
So, anywhere there's any river should be highly populated?

Read slowly I said the river niger and benue major Nigeria population possibe. Yes anywhere there's a large enough water source a population center is possible. Look up the rivers and tributaries the major cities and you'll see most are right by eachother.

Blue3k you just educated me on something I wasn't aware of. I didnt know sokoto and Kanu had major rivers around them. I humbly bow to your verifiable evidence. In that case they might be able to sustain a major population but why are they not willing have a census. Why the fear.

You really humbled me here with you bowing to superior logic.I love arguing with people like you who argue to learn.
It is actually not just the north that are afraid of census,the south too is afraid.I personally think our census figures are exaggerated and manipulated.I estimate our population to be less than 150 mil.trust me,almost every community in nigeria inflates their population.in my own community in cross river state,as of 2006 we were less than1000 but the census officials were forced to jack it up to 5000 because other communities around us were doing the same.census is like election.as they rig in the north is how we rig in the south

[/quote][quote author=ZKOSOSO post=93969215]Not true...!

96% of the North is bush n desert. They massed up in cites and towns to live and inflate figures for political reasons

Let's start this way? Have you ever been to any part of the North?

You are being smart by half but nobody is fooled. You forgot to mention the cities in Egypt where the population reside. As if nobody else knows that 95% of Egypt's population live close to the coast.
Egypt is not in West Africa. Even in north Africa, the demographic trend is that cities close to the sea (Mediterranean ) have more population than cities inland. Cairo and Alexandria are on the sea and have 85% of Egypt's population. The same trend goes for Libya (Benghazi and Tripoli), Algeria and Tunisia!

If these north African countries were Nigeria, the population of inland desert towns will officially be bigger than cities near the coast. The same way Kano Kano population is bigger than population of Lagos officially , Kaduna population is bigger than population of Rivers, Katsina population is bigger than population of Delta Borno population is bigger than population of Anambra.

Everyone knows northern Nigeria population is a hoax maintained by force using the instrumentality of federal government to rob the south of her resources and give it to the north claiming it has more population.

OreMI22:
Na you tok am

You know the age long fraud called Nigeria is its phantom population in it's sahel region. Throughout West Africa, the sahel region is sparsely populated EXCEPT in Nigeria!
Where the more than double the population of people are living in arid semi deserts of the sahel than the population in the rainforests
If it were true, several scientific studies would have been published on how human have metamorphosed to adapt to dry arid environments even more than wet rainforests

If you want to know the truth about the phanthom population of northern Nigeria, stop distributing money based on population figures. Then suddenly, some northwest and northeast states currently claiming 10 million people will suddenly claim less than 1 million, then say the rest 9 million went to Cameroon or Sudan

Very spot on.
It's all about election rigging and federal allocation.

Besides what is the infant mortality rate and life expectancy of the north compared with the south?

People like him are too stupid to see what is in front of them,the live in their on special lala land.

ODI444:
This will answer you question correctly.
The British injustice in Nigeria is the reason the country will never succeed. Forces Nature is against Nigeria because the foundation is against the laws of nature.
At what point did the overtake happen?

You forgot to add Nupe,Kanuri,Igala e.t.c hypocrite.

No sir. He's wrong. Most of those rivers you see in that picture are tributaries of the river Niger and Benue. They are not major. They shrink a lot during the dry season which is about seven months in a year.
Besides, farming which is the major occupation is seasonal which leads to high poverty and diseases.
While I don't really subscribe to your theory of desert leading to low population, those rivers don't support his claim.

They know that everyone on earth knows that norther Nigeria population in a semi-arid desert is a fraud.

They will tell all sorts of tales how the lake chad water is used as fertility water to support the fraud. Bottomline, everyone knows its a fraud. Part of the reason why Nigerian state failed is that everything about it is a fraud!
