One LGA has more than one state
Help · 15 Jun 2021, 00:57 · edited less than a minute later · 3

Hi All,

When I was checking the data, I could see LGA being duplicated in the NigerianStateNames.csv. One LGA has more than one state. Please advice which is the correct value.

Upon value counts on the dataframe: (NigerianState.csv)

Ifelodun 2

Surulere 2

Obi 2

Irepodun 2

Nasarawa 2

Hi!

They are not duplicates as you can see from the following wikipedia links. They correspond to different regions in Nigeria having the same name, at the exception of Nasarawa, which only exists in Nasarawa State. In Kano State, it is Nassarawa:
