I noticed that most of the countries with supposedly low suicide rate are Islamic/Middle-Eastern ones, which is a paradox of sorts to me coz na dem no mind to strap up and become suicide bombers.

Lol. These people with their inferiority complex again. Even Abia state people, whose OUK is the only Forbes recognized Igbo dollar billionaire, don't make this much noise. Smh.

PapaBrowne:
It's funny how the most vocal supporters of Osibanjo right now are actually The South South and the South East.

Crap. You two-faced and double-speaking lots are only out to blackmail Osinbajo's kinsmen with your insincere praises so we ain't buying it. Already your folks have been opening threads upandan disparaging Osinbajo's tribe as being treacherous for supporting his policies and misinterpreting that to imply that they have 'betrayed' Buhari, while in the same breath you are here saying the opposite by claiming he doesn't enjoy Yoruba support. We know that when push comes to shove you lots will form deliberate amnesia and still accuse the same Osinbajo/Yorubas of some conspiratorial agenda to marginalize Una, irrespective of what Osinbajo or any or his kinsmen say or do regardless.

TPAND:
In other words, vanguard is not a credible source of national information.

Everybody and their moms know vanguard practices junk journalism but seems Nduka and his outfit are contesting that title with them.

In any case, Tinubu has every right as any other Nigerian to aspire for the presidency. The worst/best you can do is not to vote for him, but one million of you and your ilk can't deny him of his right to choose to or not to vie for the office. As a veteran politician and based on recent experiences within the APC I can see why he would consider the move for a political office.

Truth is under the circumstances he has learned that you can't wield much influence in government, especially at the federal level, without a political office. Use and dump go be your portion as your foes will try to reduce your influence or 'cut you to size'. Also, by openly declaring and asserting his interest in the top job he is signaling his intention to play a major role in influencing who emerges the next president, even if he doesn't succeed in getting the position. That's smart politics.

DonCortino:
so u are saying all Nigerians in SA are hustlers?

Nope, that's not what I meant. Was only trying to give a broad definition of the general perception of hustlers relative to conventional investors, in the context of this discussion.

Chai!! Fear women.

DonCortino:
How dose hustlers do d opposite?

Drug-dealers, pimps, gamblers, prostitutes and the likes are the ones generally referred to as 'hustlers'. You wouldn't compare such people to big time investors now, would you?

Vanguard is an iPob anti-SW tabloid so no surprises there.

What people will do for money.

Then he better consider flying into Lagos and make the rest of the journey to Ondo by road.

SMH. Instead of them to up their game by investing in and having a stake in these new technologies that are threatening/disrupting their business model they want to ban them, they are wasting their time coz their days are numbered if they continue thinking this way.

basilo102:
Why would your brain wear out on simple logic, A system that does not restrict registration to only once, can it a valid estimate for population?? Extrapolation is a valid statistical tool, and that is why NBS was there in the first place

Ok dude! Fvck the Telcos data. Anambra population is more (even double) than Rivers, Oyo, Ogun and FCT combined, coz you said so. Are you happy now?? WTF??

basilo102:
I will ignore all your insults and an attempt to derail the arguments, coming from someone who accused another of being igbo supremacist just because he talked about Jamb data and state of origin. If i descend on you now on the ethnic thing now.......
meanwhile tell us how FCT is higher than Rivers in your telco data and why NPC and NBC that is recongnized should be discarded. Visit this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/3545871/nbs-estimates-nigerias-population-now

You're not making sense dude. The last time Nigeria had a census was in 2006, every population data since then (including the ones you are touting) are merely based on extrapolated guesstimation. At least not until another census is conducted will we have the latest numbers. In light of this simple fact, the only other data that comes close to giving a reliable ballpark estimate is the Telcos data. Comprende?? Dude, you're wearing out my brain. WTF??!! I'm done.

basilo102:
Young man, the way you argue is just funny. Is line registration valid when people can register as much as they want it is that simple, quit being emotional about it

Dude, I don't want to believe that you're as silly as you're starting to sound. The data in question is based on lines registered within every state of the federation, including the FCT. There's an obvious logical pattern in those numbers dude. Unless you're trying to imply that Igbo people in the SE as a matter of preference are less likely to register multiple lines, then you have no case. Quit grasping at straws and fvck off my mention. Thank you. Geez!

basilo102:
hehehe, Why you de run naa, tell us how telco data is valid for population when multiple registration is allowed or go and sleep. FCT is more populated than rivers in your telco.

Are you saying Igbo people no dey do multiple registration? Oh no, lemme guess, the Telcos conspired with the rest of the country to reduce SE numbers to deprive y'all of your rightful position? As for the Abuja numbers, if the data says the FCT is currently more populated than Rivers, so what? So be it.

basilo102:
Lol, does line registration reject double registration?? is not about fuming up and down. Just tell what makes Telco data reliable. In the event that NPC and NBS stats are manipulated, what make it likely that Anambra will be favoured more than Rivers?? IN your Telco data, FCT is higher than Rivers, no other proof of how flawed it is than that

So only your Igbo people no dey buy double sim while the rest do just to ramp up their numbers? Whatever yardstick or excuse you make (double sim or whatever) will apply across the board, not unless you're trying to imply that Igbos have a unique telephony habit compared to the rest of the country. So you see that you don't have a case. You're just ego-tripping that's all. Guy abeg go and rest.

basilo102:
Lol, see argument?? There is no limit to the number on lines someone can operate and that makes telco data invalid. as simple as that. Visit this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/3545871/nbs-estimates-nigerias-population-now

Yinmu. You're just a sore loser. Quit quoting me abeg. You can believe whatever you want.

basilo102:
Stop trying to sell Telco data as population data despite its obvious flaws. Visit this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/3545871/nbs-estimates-nigerias-population-now

Dude, I don't have to visit any thread to know that you're letting your ego get the better of you. Telco datas are based on REGISTERED LINES! Those lines are REAL lines that belong to REAL people. Infact, that data is more reliable than any data NPC has ever cooked-up since Nigeria started conducting censuses. Telcos are neutral/independent parties here. The figures you're touting sef is based on a discredited premise - The abysmally flawed and fraudulent 2006 Census. If the premise if flawed, obviously nothing credible can come from and out of it. Look, you can choose to believe whatever you like, that's your business.

basilo102:
Just like your phone line date, the WAEC date won't fly too. Consider this, Anambra's economic strength is its numerous huge open markets, these markets attracts people who could not further their education who come to learn trade. Most of them can't even dream of WAEC but make and become very rich through trade.

I've tried ignoring you but since you mentioned me, I have just one question for you. How do you explain those Anambra/SE Telco data numbers? Is it that Anambra/SE folks don't like using phones? Una traders, students, parents, civil servants, farmers, politicians e.t.c no dey make calls or buy phones like the rest of the country? Or your people are so rural and backward that they are averse to modern telephony?? Whether you like it or not, that raw Telco data is the closest thing we have to a credible estimate -- you can choose to add or subtract a million to/from any of those numbers and it wouldn't make much of a difference. The NBS figures you're touting are mere extrapolated/theoretical estimates that have absolutely no empirical basis.

Igboid:
It is believed that all Southern groups pursuit education up to tertiary level.
So yes, JAMB is a better bench mark then telecom data, for while telecom data do not take cognizant of state of Origin, JAMB data does.
Your WAEC stats does not take cognizant of state of Origin, for if it does, it would be seen that quite a significant number of those that sat for the exam at SW, SS and even Northern states are Igbos.

This is the 1938 colonial estimation of population of Nigeria groups:

Crap. Do graduate/non-graduate working adults and 40, 50, 60, 70yr olds sit for JAMB? No, they don't but guess what? They have phones. Quit being disingenuous. I know you're an igbo supremacist and all, but you need to learn to be objective at times. Everything shouldn't be reduced to and given an ethnic and tribal coloration. Your attempt to discredit the Telco data is dead-on-arrival.

Igboid:
Phone is not a basic need, and some even have more than one active lines.
I don't think it's a reliable population estimate.

I think since Yorubas claim to be Education loving as Ndiigbo and likewise SS tribes, the best way to get a population estimate is checking the population of subscribers of Of basic needs like Education.

In this case, JAMB enrollment stats for states is more weighty than phone subscription, and we know the SE had led the JAMB enrollment numbers in Nigeria for over 20 years now, this too is in conformation with the colonial population estimates that placed the population of Ndiigbo many levels ahead of those of Yorubas.
https://www.nairaland.com/237534/look-going-school-nigeria-statistics

Lol. Guy, you are better than this. How many students actually sit for jamb in a year relative to the number of those that don't get to? What percentage do they represent of the total student body in Nigeria? What demographic and age-group/bracket do they represent? Your logic simply won't fly. I might as well refer you to the raw WAEC data below as being representative of the population of the country. But even I know better than to do that.

vanbonattel:
When we have more traditional rulers of Eze ndi igbo in SW, can't you use your brain ?

You can't seem to help displaying your toutish nature, but I refuse to degenerate to your level. No, not today.

EternalTruths:
The oil industry has attracted lots of souls

Nah, that's certainly not the only reason coz the Telcos data shows that even Edo state has more people than Anambra which is clearly the most populous state in the SE. The Ogun and Oyo figures alone sef is more than all the SE states combined according to those stats (doesn't even include Osun, ondo, and Ekiti). I think for some reason the SE region isn't experiencing as much population growth compared to other sections of the country.

oduastates:
Rockhard's figures are more like it.
The idea that any state in Nigeria has a population anywhere close to Lagos is monumental fraud

Truth is, only a neutral/independent party's data (like the Telcos') can be relied upon when it comes to this sort of subject matter in the Nigerian context because government-related sources can be easily compromised, for obvious reasons.

explorer250:
who wrote this trash? recent stats from Nigeria population commission placed anambra higher than rivers so how the hell is rivers higher than anambra? and when Oyo reach 15m? this is a pure joke.

There's no way in hell that Anambra population can be more than Rivers, don't deceive yourself.

Freedom2016:
Oyo 15million while Kaduna and Anambra are 12million and 8million respectively? Afonjas have come again oh with their propaganda to increase their monthly allocation from Niger Delta oil money!

I agree. Don't mind OP. Oyo should be at least double Anambra's population.

http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/report/486

There are way more reliable data out there to guide us as to the true picture of things instead of this rubbish guesswork. NBS and the Telcos have made life much easier.

http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/report/486

This is a welcome development that will settle a lot of questions. Hopefully they won't politicize and bungle this one as well with fabricated/cooked-up figures in the end.

omenkaLives:
You are a bloody liar!!

We export agro products DIRECTLY to the UK and i know this for a FACT because my colleague does.

This is the reason yall are referred to as LiePob yoots. You lie too fvxking much.

Don't blame them bro. Anyone that can be fooled into believing in and paying for a Biafran passport and Aircraft would fall for anything. Obiano sabi dem well well. He's just feeding them with the usual staple of bullshyt, and see as dem dey guzzle/swallow am like Eba.

nonsobaba:
Illiterate. Nigeria does not export food items directly to the UK due to stringent EU guidelines and standards. So we have to take them through the US first where the food will be given required certification and easier approval for entry to the EU.

See what APC is doing to ur oblong brain.

Dude, are you sure your brain ain't leaking or something? Why you gotta spam my mention with your lies? Look here, I'm not one of your fellow ipod numb-brains that you people can bamboozle with your bullshyt. WTF, I don't even care if una export 20-million phantom yams. Just wanted to point out the sloppy job you Obiano hirelings did in the report.

PassingShot:
Dem don start. Na so dem lie with Ugwu exportation. Liepods!

Wetin concern me sef?

Imagine o. The report said Obiano agreed with the United States on exports to the United Kingdom. I didn't know U.S now enters agreements on behalf of the U.K.

Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has said his administration has perfected plans with the United States of America to export one million tubers of yam, as well as other vegetables to the United Kingdom.
