Do we need additional state at this time? In my understanding, the individual state that make up the federation are being founded from the OIL proceeds which constitutes over 70% of our export baskets and over 90% source of our nation dollars. here are my concern. At the moment, our oil exploration stood at 2.15million barrel /day at an average of $100/barrel( considering no vandalism which is inevitable at the present NIGERIA), 36states and 774 locals government area. now these are my concern! 1. were the new state be funded from the present OIL proceeds? 2. After creation of new state will the present LGA be divided according to the state FALL INTO or the new state will have a new LGA? 3. what are the financial contributions of the new state into the national purse( NOTE:when Bayelsa was carve out of Portharcourt it was base on what it will produce into the national purse). WHAT ARE THE ANSWER TO THE ABOVE. |

wirinet: Brother, In my previous post I have outlined that Adada has agricultural, educational, commercial/economic viability. Which state doesn't presently depend on oil? Until such a time when states will be encouraged to leverage on their comparative advantages, the ND oil remains there for everyone... Even for you. So it was hypocritical of you bringing up that issue. |

wirinet: Simply put. We are yet to come to terms with our bloated workforce and still some are clamouring for more states. It will simply give room for more governors, commissioners, assemblymen, perm secs, special advisors and thier cronies to have a share of 'oyel' money. Nothing more! |

passion007:Dear Brother Why don't the proposed areas that will constitute Adaba State turn these Viabilities into realities before they start making their demand to be made a state. There is no state in Nigeria without Agricultural, Educational and economic viability. The Main Problem is converting these vaibilities into realities instead of being liabilities. As long as states recieve the sweet milk of free oil money from Abuja, they would always be dependent of the free money for survival. Weaning states from oil money would be as difficult and painful as weaning a baby from its mothers milk. Nigeria's coperate existence is dependent on oil money. In fact everything in Nigeria is all about how to share the Niger Delta oil. From Rotational Presidency, to demand for states to all cries of marginalization. All is a ploy to get more oil money from Abuja. 2 Likes |

wirinet: Wirinet, To set you back on course, which state would you favour as the 6th SE State? After the SE gets a 6th state, we can chart through your idealistic thinking. Support Adada State creation. God bless. |

passion007: I do not favour the creation of additional states in Nigeria, in fact i am an advocate of merging of states. The resources we are using on maintaining governments structures in all the states leaves little for infrastructural development. Have you ever wondered why most infrastructural developments in nigeria was done when we had less states and under military regimes? It was because we were not spending so much on maintaining the vanities of so many public officials. |

If we required each state to generate its own revenue from its resources rather than sharing money from Abuja, would we still have the current clamour for more states? That said, I don't support state creation anywhere in the country, with the exception of Southern Kaduna. 1 Like |

Re: The List Of New States To Be Created In Nigeria Approved By The CONFAB by Nobody: 10:31pm On Jul 04, 2014 |
asha 80: why southern kaduna? Kaduna was proclaimed a Sharia state with a population of roughly equal Christians and Muslims. People of Southern Kaduna are predominantly Christian and have been oppressed for so long. I don't know if you listened to the news last week, you'd have heard news of the latest massacre in which hundreds of their people were slaughtered by herdsmen. As always, no one was brought to book. Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa, a Christian from Southern Kaduna, was made governor when Namadi Sambo resigned to become VP. When he died in that plane crash with Gen. Azazi, reports had it that Muslim Kaduna youths actually went on the streets to celebrate his death, saying they never wanted to be ruled by an "unbeliever". Can you beat that? I urge you to research this issue further. If possible travel round and speak to the people directly. You'll be amazed. Those people have suffered abeg. Let them have a separate state. |

wirinet:....you're right bro....mm just wondering why people think like this. Somebody said its because its only the south eastern zone that doesn't have 6 states!...I'm sure that he said that out of ignorance because there is nothing like 'zone' in the federal republic of Nigeria constitution. A lot of these Ibo canvassing for more states works in Lagos o, yet they are clamoring for a state that will only act as a siphon to loot more fund from the common treasury. My take is that since Nigeria is not one cos if we are one, a Yoruba man should be able to be a governor in Enugu, an hausa man should be able to be an attorney general of Osun state, so since we aren't one, true federalism is the way out |

Creation of more states means more funds being diverted for recurrent rather than capital expenditure. For a country like Nigeria this is counterproductive. We can maintain equity by sharing allocation based on geopolitical zones. Further balkanizing states that are struggling to maintain even basic infrastructure like rural roads and state hospitals has less advantages. |

africans problem has always been having shortsight.we repeat the same mistake expecting different result.in creation of an entity,two factors must be considered.population nd landmass.these are main pointer for any society to develope rapidly.we talk of state creation as if we are talkin fantasy.india with the 2 largest population and a landmass of 3m sq km, has 23 state in the union.brazil wit the population of 200m and landmas of 8m sq km. A very objective analysis shows clearly none of the proposed state meet the critrea.since lagos is the smallest state in the country,its landmas should be the bench mark |

Southeast clamours for sixth state primarily because people in today's southeast are under-represented in any gathering of Nigerians chosen equally from the 36 states+Abuja political structure. It is not politics of crude oil revenues that drive the demand for sixth state in the southeast. But unfortunately, many of the people from southeast who decry creation of state, including some here on NL, are heavily influenced by politics of oil revenues in their state. People of Enugu and Anambra states are wiser than these people. When Imo state was being created in 1976, people of Enugu and Anambra states in then East Central State knew that Imo state had oil wells. But Enugu and Anambra people were much smatter and far-seeing than some people in a certain area of the southeast today. Enugu and Anambra people never resisted carving out old Imo state from them. If anybody from those areas had resisted creation of old Imo state then because of oil politics, the fellow must have been regretting it by now. Anambra state is now an oil producing state, who knows tomorrow? 1 Like |
