I beg to disagree.

Even if you ignore the population projections provided by the national bureau of statistics, our Telcos and Banks will set you straight

Also the population estimate from google and Wikipedia is closeto200m.
They conduct their own population calculation independently from government own mostly using special/military satellites that are equipped for estimating population using population density per square meter

Flier:
We are probably close to 250 million even 300 million
if 90 million could register for election,it means we are even close to 500 million
Almost half of my church members does not have PVC
Almost half of people i know does not have PVC
These are people over the age of 18 years
Just imagine the number of under age,Even usa that has 350 million people where almost every adult votes, Number of voters is around 150 million
Just imagine NIGERIA where people do not vote and we still have 90 million registered voters

Alhaji e re nle...... kilode? 500m ke? walahi,if we reach 250m i go run comot for the country because the resources on ground can't even go round enough anymore

Horus:
The latest data from the NCC estimates that there were about 198 million active mobile lines in Nigeria in February 2022. So far, 125 million SIMs have been linked and verified during the process and about 73 million SIMs that have not been linked to a person's identity.

I believe this active mobile lines, some are using 2 lines while a person can be using 3 lines. Allin all, we are plus or minus 200m

vhykeeytor:


Multiple voters, me for 1, I have registered with Inec more than 5times.

that's not true, inec has already work on that,all those who register twice data has been deleted

Be deceiving yourself. Who deleted them? If I can see you, I will show you different registration I made and the prove that they are still there.

and did you vote in this election

temitope27:
we can't be 80m, and have over 90m register voters

You're still getting it wrong.

Who told you there are actually 90m human beings registered

You didn't hear about voter's cards dumped at various places, after the politicians learnt the BVAS would be used to accredit each individual voters.
Those cards do not belong to any real human beings and are part of your so called 90m registered voters

People were not motivated to vote due to scarcity of cash and fuel, we are about 14 in my compound, only two people vote

Do you have 5 PVCs?

There are six regions in Nigeria. These consists of:

1. North-West: includes Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, and Zamfara States.

2. North-East: includes Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe States.

3. North-Central: includes Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau States & the FCT.

4. South-East: includes Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States.
The Igboland.

5. South-South: includes Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, and Rivers States.
The Niger-Delta region.

6. South-West: includes Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo States.
The Yorubaland.


The total population of the '06 census was 140,431,790.

So, if we're less than 200M, you're implying that only 2 to 4 States (1 State per region) out of all these regions has increased in natality & mortality rates.

So much for logic.

tctrills:

It's not about what you believe. Even without a census, there are other scientific ways of figuring out a population. By every scientific estimate, not just data from our government, Nigeria is over 200 million.

What scientific way is that?

I alone, use four of those SIMs

Is the resources on ground going round ?

Pleasant01:

Do you have 5 PVCs?

No I have multiple registration...not PVC...it's the registration that is 90m and not total PVC collected...there are millions of PVCs in INEC offices nationwide.

temitope27:
and did you vote in this election

Yes I did

I knew a man whow have two recent pvc one registered at maidugri and one in enugu and he was accredited and voted at last saturday election.

There is some truth in what you are saying.

Pierocash:
I have often told people that Nigeria's population isn't even up to 100m. That is why they have refused to do a credible censors

same here, but in the flip side why do we have over a million people writing Jamb, and over 100 million active phone subscribers.

Comelysync:

one person can have 6 SIM cards .

A million people writing Jamb is feasible. But 200m people is not feasible

Kukutenla:

I alone, use four of those SIMs

But there are also millions of Nigerians, particularly in rural areas, who do not posses one.
I know this much from my travels deep into the hinterland.

218 million active subscribers and counting....

Pierocash:

Nigeria is way more than 100 million. Might be less than 200 million though.

True and minors as well
But I wager those will be in the smallest minority particularly when you consider that it cost just about 100 naira to own a SIM and less than 5k to buy a phone
If you take into consideration that basic is actually more effective against overvoting than any other malpractice, and then look at how drastically total number of votes dropped, then you'll begin to see the matter better

Arent you considering the fact that about 1 person might have 4 to 5 different sims?

Abagworo:

It can't be less than 200M, with the child marriage practised by some unevolved people in the North.

Pierocash:

A million people writing Jamb is feasible. But 200m people is not feasible

am just thinking out loud.

thebosstrevor1:

Yes, of course, but we should also see the fact that there is a percentage of people who doesn't own a mobile phone at all, so they
are not included in the statistics
