Addis Ababa

I found data on Metro Area population (not sure if this counts). 5,228,000 in 2022 https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/20921/addis-ababa/population Also not sure how to change the ranking without messing up every other row below. WinstonVan (talk) 16:30, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lagos etc.

Lagos population is listed as 26,612,101, then if you open linked source it says 15,945,912? According to same source Cairo population is 22,183,201, in this article it's 10,100,166. Giza population doesn't have a source at all. PS (talk) 08:32, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
