South African data is based on “main places” as designated by the South African census

Somali cities utilize names from citypopulation.de and population figures from Wikipedia

Nigerian city names are sourced from citypopulation.de, while populations were independently calculated using state growth rates.

Kinshasa's population was calculated based on growth rates specific to the Kinshasa province

The LGA is over the 100k population threshold, but the city itself has no data. This is the case for quite a few Nigerian cities, like Lekki, Yenagoa, and Lokoja. Until the next Nigerian census in complete there is nothing I can do about this.

those cities only have 100k+ populations when using the urban areas. most of those cities sit at around 90k using main places.
