It is so sad really, I tell you. probably reducing the Lagos and SW figures while using the excesses to prop up their own states, so that the final addition would match that of the UN projection. DOn't you find it funny that before 2006, the UN was estimating Nigeria's population in 2006 to be around 140 million, and GBAM smackdab the NPC conducted their so called census and arrived at that same number? Lmao!! No shame at all. some UN caucasian officers sitting in an armchair somewhere in NY now knows everything about Nigeria enough to be projecting its population decades ahead or what? In a sane country like Germany, their census of 2001 which happened to be their first since the reunification of Germany , they discovered that their own government had been overestimating their own population by about 2 Million people or so. They were surprised a bit, but they were quite happy by the revelation, and they amde the necessary adjustments. Others do theirs and arrive at higher or lower figures even if just slightly... But in Nigeria... No way. they are not that smart. That of Lagos is ust out there because they were the only state that had enough financial resources to run a parallel census with the FG , which would mean that they had to pay their own workers on the job and print their own forms. It goes beyond just lag. Ifo, Ado Odo-Otta, Shagamu and Obafemi Owode were already huge LGs even in 2006. To be honest with you, in light of all these facts I'm not really looking forward to the next census either coz who's to say they won't repeat the same thing the next time around?  Shebi na to redistribute the numbers? They understand the far-reaching implications of a real and representative census as this will change the political landscape of the country, a transition they dread and would do everything in their power to prevent from coming to pass. not looking forward to it either. What they do is that, they look at the UN projected figure, then distribute it between states and Local Governments just like some national cake, while trying to remain relatively sensible with the ratios, so that it does not end up looking so blatant. But at the end of the day, some areas still come out defying common sense. Shebi you saw the satellite picture of Kano and Ibadan on the same scale which I posted the other day? I just wish an independent team ca come and run the whole show... mtcheew. |

To me, the very fact that a census can be so important that Nigeria has never had a single undisputed one says that the political system is far too centralized to be workable. If the control of the center wasn't so important, and if the Nigerian economy wasn't so reliant on the center sharing out funds obtained from just a handful of sources in the SW and SS, there wouldn't be such a powerful desire to rig every census to inflate population numbers. In a properly working system, just being able to spit out hoards of children you don't have the means to care for wouldn't be rewarded with a bigger piece of a "national" cake that you didn't work for, or more political power over regions where people care more about quality than mere quantity. Simply having more people than others is nothing to boast about, otherwise one wouldn't have a state like Israel with less than 10 million people repeatedly defeating the more than 340 million Arabs, and it wouldn't have been possible for a small, rainy European country with 40 million people to simultaneously dominate Australia, Canada, India and most of Africa and the Middle East. It really shouldn't matter whether there are only 20 million Yorubas and 40 million each of the Igbos and Hausas, as long as those 20 million Yoruba people are much better educated, much better fed and are much more economically productive; the fact is that uncontrolled population growth is a huge drag on economic progress, and as such we shouldn't need to be in a competition with others to breed like rats, just so we have a larger voice in determining our own destiny. Above all, it is this current dynamic of sheer useless numbers winning over quality that tells me we need to have our own country ASAP. If we all go our own ways, the northerners and the wannabe Israelites will be free to keep multiplying like rabbits if they wish, but their desire to create future beggars and street hawkers shouldn't force us to go down the same path with them. |

I think Ogbeni Ogunnaike's guess on the population of SW states was a bit exaggerated but if at all it's true, then we should be worried. As it is, we are struggling to handle the population. The projected figures by 2030 even make it more scary especially for Lagos if the country remains this way and we don't create a clone asap. The other SW states have huge populations but are there enough jobs to keep the people productive? |

I would say I agree with the logic of everything you said were we living under different (and more ideal) circumstances, but certainly not in the Nigeria we live in. In present-day Nigeria, a high population (whether real or imagined) gives a region more 'bragging rights', power, and entitlement to claim more allocation and access to the 'commonwealth'. Our present circumstance imposes on us the need to play 'smart' politics within the Nigerian context for survival. Unfortunately for us, our region can't insulate itself from the 'Nigerian factor' and act as is obtainable in more civilized climes. E.g, just the mere perception that the SEasterners may soon 'outnumber' Yorubas in Lagos (or at par with them) is already creating tensions, let alone if Yorubas were to deliberately and consciously try to reduce their numbers for the salient reasons you cited in your post. That'll be almost suicidal for us. In an independent Yoruba country, I'll definitely support the population control measures you suggested and advocate an Israeli or German developmental model for the country, but certainly not in a highly politically competitive Nigeria because that would be an invitation to our [hostile and belligerent] neighbours to dominate us (on account of 'one Nigeria') and embolden them to try and supplant us in our own little space. |

What u've typed here would be the ideal. Population and birthing many kids isn't exactly an achievement.... It is something every human can do starting from the age of 16. However, n the Nigeria of today, I certainly don't want to see a SW where Yorubas are outnumbered 2 to 1. Or getting only 50% of their real entitlements in favor of regions with higher populations, real or otherwise. How are we going to develop in that kind of choke-hold situation? If the SW is undercounted in Nigeria- Nobody is losing from the situation except the Yorubas themselves. |

Short_Biscuit , Ogbeni Ogunnaike , I understand what you are both saying about the importance of numbers in the current setup, but to me the lesson to take home is different from saying we need to keep up in raw numbers. The real lesson is that we need to do everything possible to aid the rapid dissolution of this joke of a "country", so we can expel the surplus migrants from elsewhere and police our own borders! In short, we need a "Nexit", and soon. As I mentioned recently, I've been looking heavily into the research literature on economic growth, and one of the most prominent issues I've found is that a demographic transition is absolutely necessary for lasting and substantial per capita growth. With the exception of scarcely populated Arab states suddenly discovering oil, there is pretty much nowhere in the world that grew rich with a Nigerian-style 3% annual growth rate, and uncontrolled population growth is a major reason why Nigeria's per capita income is lower now than at independence. Even if we tell ourselves that it is alright to keep up with the rest in having children we can't afford to educate or find jobs for in the future, that excess population will remain a huge drag on growth for decades after we free ourselves from Nigeria's grasp. Then there's also something else to consider, namely that it isn't really up to us or our politicians to force our women to have more children than they want. The better educated a woman is, and the better her career prospects, the greater the opportunity cost to having children becomes. That's a major reason why birth rates nosedive in countries experiencing rapid development, e.g. the East Asian "tiger" economies. Unless we insist on keeping our women as ignorant and economically idle as the northerners do, there's just no way we can get them to shit out baby after underfed baby, aboki-style. In short, I don't think a population explosion race is something we can win or even want to win. The real fix is pulling down a system that provides perverse incentives to breeding uncontrollably like vermin. If that means supporting even the very IPOB scum who hate us more than they hate the northerners who regularly slaughter them like sheep, so be it. The very first thing we should do after helping them get their Biafra is send all their indigent comrades back home to build their country! The educated, useful ones we can tolerate under a visa system, but without giving them any political rights whatsoever, and only having made clear that they can only stay by being on their best behavior.

You have said the koko of the matter bro, which is that we need a 'Nexit' strategy (exit the Nigerian setup) so that we can control our own destiny [which is why I am a supporter of IPOB and pray their agitation succeeds. I don't think 'One Nigeria' Yoruba supporters understand how much better we can do as an independent people), coz anything short of that will only put us more at a disadvantage under the Nigerian setting. Under the current setup, the FG frowns at and in fact undermines SW regional integration ( www.vanguardngr.com/2012/09/north-tackles-yoruba-leaders-on-autonomy/ ). In other words, we are living under a system that is anti-Yoruba development. Plus, there's an active conspiracy to alter the ethnic demography of the SW, it has started and gained a lot of ground in Lagos. At this rate, Ogun state will be next in line unless Nigeria disintegrates. |

The essence of Nigeria is what it has always been since 1914: a forced union which exists purely to use the south to subsidize an unproductive north. |

If finding oil is what it takes to get the northerners to go their own way, may they soon find the biggest oil field in Africa! Then they (or rather, their ruling elites) can go and keeping leech off rents from oil dug up by white men, leaving us free to build a modern, productive country based on making and selling useful things. Hell, we could even serve as their Switzerland, where the northern elites can come and "park" their looted wealth! |

If we can help them solicit funds, let's do so, if they need propaganda to sell their cause abroad, let's help them manufacture the propaganda. Even if they don't want our help because they can't trust us, let's pretend to be one of them and force the help down their throats! As they're the ones claiming to be brave and calling us "cowards", I see no reason why we shouldn't encourage their "bravery" in every way possible, even if that means they end up catching stray army bullets for their trouble. There's a George Patton quote I like to keep in mind: "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country". They say they are ready to die for Biafra, so why don't we help them do so? |

I'd have digged them out if I were on PC. That made me smile. What happened on twitter? Yesterday a lot of them travelled back home and they were complaining about how there were checkpoints everywhere. Some Yorubas apparently called them out for playing victim that there are checkpoints like that in other parts of the country. That was how the whole madness started. It was just exactly like the way it is on NL. Then it got to civil war discussion. Awolowo is this and that, Yorubas are treacherous etc etc. Yorubas, Igbos and Biafra trended between yesterday and today. Back and forth insults. As usual, expect some sophisticated iddiots talk about are Yorubas are being unfair blah blah blah. How we never loss 3million people to know how it feels like. It seems a lot of people are just tired of the incessant whining/victim card .Even my brother wey no send sef talked about it on WhatsApp and how he doesn't mind them having their Biafra. If that Biafra comes, I think a lot of Yorubas will support them. |

If we can help them solicit funds, let's do so, if they need propaganda to sell their cause abroad, let's help them manufacture the propaganda. Even if they don't want our help because they can't trust us, let's pretend to be one of them and force the help down their throats! As they're the ones claiming to be brave and calling us "cowards", I see no reason why we shouldn't encourage their "bravery" in every way possible, even if that means they end up catching stray army bullets for their trouble. There's a George Patton quote I like to keep in mind: "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country". They say they are ready to die for Biafra, so why don't we help them do so? I think a lot of pro-yoruba groups like DAWN are tacitly in support hence the silence. Of course, I'm not expecting Yoruba leaders to act like they are in support heck! even their own governors don't act like they support it. But that's just it. Supporting them openly or tacitly hasn't made much difference. I think the easiest method is to take the war route and get international attention but our "brave" brothers dey fear  To get your own country is really hard. I wish I knew the best method |

Shebi na to redistribute the numbers? They understand the far-reaching implications of a real and representative census as this will change the political landscape of the country, a transition they dread and would do everything in their power to prevent from coming to pass.
