According Wikipedia, Lagos State is the most populated state with 17 million people(2017 estimate). Many believe that figure is well over 20 million people today.

Kano State is in second position with 11 million people.

While Anambra has an estimated population of 10.8 million people.

With a population of almost 11 million people, is Anambra state the third post populated state in Nigeria?

Yimu. Far from it. In the absence of a reliable census, it would be difficult to say. But several datas can be referenced to give an idea of the estimated population of states. E.g telecoms subscription data.

Na where you people dey get una statistics self?

So, Niger State with its massive landmass is not in the top 8 populated States.

Na only cows full there, not surprised.

Lagos is more populated than the whole South East

Hmmm

Quite interesting

But some people use more than one cell phone sha

Telecom users don't equate population. Some villagers don't use phone. Illiterate

Believe Nigerian voodoo government statistics at your peril.

The good thing is that it is all coming to an end. All the reasons why Nigeria is stuck in a web of vicious falsification of data, violence, and non-development is because some people hide under "one Nigeria" to scam others.

Soon, unless people govern their spaces, Nigeria is in for a long bloody struggle for freedom of the entrapped nations within it.

Hello. That telecoms subscription data doesn't belong to the FG. It belongs to private businesses (MTN, Glo, Etisalat, Airtel and the likes). So your excuse is baseless. Maybe because it doesn't favour your preferred narrative that is why you are faulting it.

You can shove your cooked government data up your abunna,
The truth is that the south east is by far the most densely populated region in Nigeria..
You can't travel half a mile in igboland without seeing buildings. Not like the north where you move from Kaduna to Zaria without seeing structures..
It's the same way you guys would say that the east produces only a cup of oil, yet you are paying Niger Delta militants billions to protect oil pipelines from igbo communities..

Oh really? Based on tht argument, I guess that must apply to igbo villagers than others that have larger subscription number abi? So una no dey use phone for una Villages, while others do? Or igbos can't afford to recharge their phones like others? Abeg receive sense.
