gbadexy: I think he meant that lagos and abuja be made a buffer region since they are cosmopolitan in nature.
He proposes to make them no man's region so to speak.
Lagos wasn't part of the the old western region.

afam4eva:

afam4eva:

donroxy:


Yeah, u re right!!

Lagos was never part of Old western region but it's within ''South-west'' Nigeria..... Geography Bro

patanjaly: Southerners never fail to amaze me one day they will say make nigeria divide, another day they will say one nigeria. So which one u want make we believe. Mtswww.

afam4eva:
Everything is not about geography else Republic of Benin will be part of Nigeria. Historic and social characteristics play a huge part in things like this.

donroxy:

Historic and social xtics.............!!!


So, historic and social xtics is ur justification for the removal of lagos and Abj from SW and NC resp ? .......

Also, why shd Benin Republic be part of Nigeria.... Mayb another thread/topic 4 another day!!

Abagworo:

IMHO I prefer merging Imo with Abia. Rivers back with Bayelsa. And Akwa-Ibom with Crossriver.

afam4eva:
Despite the fact that there are Yorubas in Benin Republic, their social idiosyncrasies are different from those in Nigeria. I also noticed that the spelling of their Yoruba names are often different from the Yorubas in Nigeria and that's because they were colonized by the French. That's the same way the Social idiosyncrasies of Lagos is different from those of the other SWestern states.

donroxy:

Bro,
u aint answering my questions from previous(above) post.....


So, the difference in social idiosyncrasies is the reason y lagos shd be pull-out of the SW Nigeria ?


Am jus tryn 2 stay on the Topic of the thread,bro!!!!

afam4eva: I saw an interview of Mike Akigbe who was a one time governor of Lagos and Ondo state and also a Chief of staff of former head of state Abacha on AIT this morning as he addressed various issues bothering the polity.

He was asked what he felt about the clamor of state creation and he explicitly objected the idea that more states should be created and he made some valid points. He instead advocated for regionalism which several other people have advocated for. But his own twist is that the six geo-political zones should be regions but that Lagos and Abuja should be made separate regions thereby making it 8 regions instead of six.

What do you guys think about this? Do you think this two cities should be separated from the SW and the NC regions?

afam4eva:
It's one of the reasons...

Biafra rep: This man, just like Alex Ekwueme, is a genius! This is the best formula for Nigeria, collapse the states into six regions with Lagos and Abuja as separate regions making a total of eight regions. As the former capital of Nigeria, Lagos was built with our commonwealth(Oil) and collective efforts of its people irrespective of ethnic affiliation or creed, Same with Abuja. The only snag i forsee is the Yorubas who myopically covet Lagos as if it belongs to them. Kudos to Akigbe, this is the panacea to Nigeria's lack of development.

PointB: I support the idea of 6 regions.

As for Lagos and Abuja having regional status, I don't know the basis. I rather the Lagos like Abuja be declared federal territory and an Administrator/Minister be appointed to effectively manage it.

I am not an ibo...but you are a big full. Yorubas are the most tribalistic bastards on earth...idiota

Sealeddeal: The reason why the West dont like division of nigeria is because,the East region has not included them in their plan.if the easterners should start now to talk of Southern entity instead of Biafra/Niger delta,the west will quickly accept the strategy.who is not tired of nigeria?

afam4eva:
What do Lagos and Abuja have in common?

olaheavy:
Walahi talahi, this guy is the sickest Nigerian alive! This human-eating Igbo is dangerously fixated with the Yorubaland - especially Lagos. I know the fool wishes he were born a Yoruba. I mean, why is he always talking about Lagos, Lagos, Lagos? Damn yoi, cannibal!
This @gbadesky goon is atrocious to say the least. Talking about 'Lagos' not being part of the 'old Western Region' one would think you iiidiots knew what they were yapping. Let me educate you Eastern usurpers and their Igbo-loving Western apologists. The so-called 'old West' had its border at Palm Grove. So, in essence, everything from Fadeyi, Yaba, Ebute Meta-Oyingbo-Costain, to Ebute Ero, Idumagbo to the whole of Lagos Island proper to Ahmadu Bello Way via Bonny Camp, all the way to Mequime Bridge were allvparts of what was known then as Lagos Province. Although Ikoyi was in the Lagos Province, however, part oc the Victoria Island such as Maroko proper, Epe, Ajah, Ikorodu, badagry were all in the "old Western Region.'' Now, let's go back to the 'mainland' - everything from Palm G. to Mushin, Oshodi, Apapa-Ajegunle (although the water parts of Apapa belonged to Lagos Province) to the whole of Ikeja, Agege, Idimu, Alaba, Isolo, Abule Egba all the way to Toll Gate were all in Western Region. So, which 'Lagos' are you dunces now talking about? Now, go to the Secretariat in Ibadan and visit the archives - most of the files from the former Wester Region still carry addresses like ''.....Ikeja, Ibadan'' since Ibadan was the seat of the government then. Please, Igbos should know better not transgress otherwise we'd nip you in the bud!

cjrane:

Lagos and Abuja are the capitals of Nigeria. Developed from the national purse not regional money.Therefore, they should remain federal territories not belong to any particular region
