Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo right, seen as he participates in the National Population Census at Abuja, Nigeria, Tuesday, March 21, 2006.The first attempt in 15 years to measure just how many people live in Africa’s most populous nation starts Tuesday, an exercise so likely to fan religious, tribal and regional rivalries that some say Nigerians are better left uncounted.(AP Photo)

It is terrible not to know the population one governs or leads in its exact number.
The last dispensation was ‘Hell bound’.
It faced problems like incompetence in the part of the workers & officials who were merely guessing with NO exact counting.A friend had to stop them once on the road to be counted since they NEVER visited his house.What we have now is just an ‘underestimated approximation of a guess work’.Not pushing aside the fact that people in some regions counted even their cattle, flock & poultry.
the Nigerian population census 2006 was totally a failure…………..the billions spent on that could have been better if it were used to feed the mad men and woman of 9ja,because even the H2O we take in 9ja is corrupt so they corrupted the census as well.
hey
Why should nigeria still be corrupted at dis global age na wa oh!
I think national population commission should published the population of all the 774 local government in these country. In their respective council. Especially during these election time. This is because the current figure of election result is too much. How can one person in a constituency have 60, 000 vote. So what is the actual population of that constituency? Then how many does is opponent have?
I hail u EZI O!!!!!!!111
