Okay!!

Now I must ask, Are you intentionally fhucking with Me or is it that you cant read or you cant understand what you read?!

Now read this slowly; "A FEW HAVE COCOA" is different from "A FEW COCOA".



Now I can agree that every state has the potential to be economically independent, but I am not basing my post of 'pontential' but on what is currently applicable. Forgive me for not adding Timber. The West actually has a shitload of Timber and stones. But not all that states in the West are profitable. The Middle Belt States have agriculture I believe.. Gboko Yams ring a bell.

Anyways, I am not in support of creating new states, if anything, reduce the states we currently have and run the federal system of government like it should be.

passion007: But, Mandax, why are you hell-bent on having Ihiala?
Excising Ihiala from Anambra will automatically make Anambra the smallest state in Nigeria, smaller than Lagos!
And without Ihiala, Njaba will also be smaller than Lagos!

This action reeks of desperation, if you ask me.

#Support Adada State

Obiagelli: in all these na nursery school pupils i pity pass, how dem wan read this state and capital?

Btw what will the national assembly look like? Over 400 senators and 1000 reps. Like everything gej, another waste of time and fund.

Chino72: I support Adada! Its the only viable state to be created!

trekas: I think Benue state suppose to have a state other than Apa. For me katsina Ala state with capital in katsina Ala should be created and the following local government be extracted; logo, kastina Ala, ukum, kwande, ushongu, vandekya, konshisha.

MadCow1:


Lol..

Yeah!! I have heard about this Oil belonging to the Federal Government thing before.

Well, thats not what I am here to debate, but the fact remains if we split up, that oil belongs to the territory in which it is obtained.

MissMeiya:

Really. What state am I from, and how does it favor me?

You're very near-sighted and useless. Imagine this senseless mentality. Let us chop until it is finished. Nigerians like you are the downfall of the country.

Afam4eva: I will have to agree with Pazienza here. Nigerians can be full of hypocrisy st times. It's only when people ask for equality and fairness that they start preaching that states are not viable. Where were they when new states were created in 1991 and 1996? It's simple. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. If the states are not viable then all the states in the country should be scrapped. But until then, every part of this country have to enjoy the dividends from the center. You don't say that the government should not create more states due to non-viability and at the same time not complain about the already existing state.

LMAyedun: We need a new state out of Kogi state - Okun state.

pazienza:

That post was not just addressed to you,it was addressed to any other person out there with your mentality.

[size=18pt]The downfall of Nigeria,is the least of my concerns, what to get from her before her downfall is of greater interest to me.[/size] I am only being pragmatic, but you on the other hand, you are needlessly emotional.

MissMeiya:

Afam4eva still agree with this guy?

pazienza:

Leave Afam alone. If you so much love Nigeria, start writing petition for the merging of your non-viable state, to the nearest non viable state to you.
That way you can save FG the cost of running your useless state.

Stop this your holier than thou attitude already.

Obiagelli: in all these na nursery school pupils i pity pass, how dem wan read this state and capital?

Btw what will the national assembly look like? Over 400 senators and 1000 reps. Like everything gej, another waste of time and fund.

pazienza:


Since we can't merge states, it's only right that we provide equal number of states for all, and when the time comes, we suffer as one.

MissMeiya:

Are you feeling ashamed of yourself now?

I'm studying energy management because I want to reform the power sector and stimulate the growth of a working middle-class, and I've never spent up to a year in Nigeria my entire life. So don't question my patriotism.

Very pathetic person, enemy of progress.

God forbid you get what you want. If they even manage to be born, your descendants will curse your name for eternity. Selfish thing.

Xfactoria:

God bless you my brother! I had this same argument with people on my facebook page about the stupidity of additional state creation. I noted that the only time in the history of Nigeria that there was accelerated development was when we had regions and the local government councils were strong in pre-civil war Nigeria.

This recommendation is being driven by ego and pride and the economics of it just doesn't make sense. The cost of governance will increase (as if our democracy is not already expensive) and government revenue shared among states and local governments will end up being used to service 18 new rogues, sorry governors and their endless lists of special advisers and PAs. Think of their security votes which would amount to 9 billion monthly (assuming 500 million per state). Think of the new sets of official cars that will be bought and maintained. Think of the 18 new governor's lodges, 18 new state secretariats, commissioners etc. Think of new sets of legislators at the state and federal level ( 54 new Senators assuming 3 per state, 162 new house of reps members assuming 9 per state). The list is endless of the teething problems that will put real development on hold.

If anyone wants to know how stupid and senseless it is to be creating states without thinking it through, check how these states are faring since they were created - Ekiti, Osun, Ebonyi, Nassarawa and Kebbi. These states can barely pay workers' salaries and the ones controlled by APC are borrowing money to finance projects because their allocation leaves nothing when politicians pay themselves and workers. Ever heard of states being insolvent? There are many in Nigeria today that are on the brink of bankruptcy. In business, companies merge or acquire each other when some of them become insolvent. That sort of consolidation is what should be taking place in Nigeria and not creating more mushroom states. Ekiti should by now be negotiating merger with Ondo State etc.

This crap is like a thousand steps backward!

mandax:
You cause confusion to Igbo with your several handles, that's all.
No doubt, you eat, sleep, dream on NL 247 exhibiting your inferiority complex? You have no job?

You are no true Igbo or history is strange to you; you said it, you do not come from Ihiala: it was even Ihiala people that asked to be returned to their kin in Imo West zone through the proposed sixth state. Ihiala leaders joined in the demand for Anim/Njaba state. Most of Ihiala belonged to old Orlu division until a few years ago. Most of Ihiala is still in Orlu Catholic diocese till today. Go siddon.

pazienza:

Haha! Some people just can't deal with the bitter truth, they would rather have the sweet lies. I am a realist, sorry if you can't deal with the truth.

MissMeiya:

If that's what you need to tell yourself. But the fact is you came into this world to do NOTHING. Your name will die with you. Do the world a favor and don't have children. Not like you plan to take care of them anyway.

Chino72: I support Adada! Its the only viable state to be created!

pazienza:


Wow! See emotions! Are you by any means psychotic? Ndo.

GAR3TH: State creation is a cancer. To be honest I believe nigeria will be better of with the six regions becoming their own states and empowering the LGAs and states while decentralizing the federal government.

Another idea that I always think of was if each mid - major ethnic group had there own majority states while subgroups, and minor ethnic groups will run and fully control there own LGAs. With a total of about 20 or so states. If someone screams marganilzation they can easily create a new LGA and not a state since they will have full control.

relchange:

i share this position as well.
some people can't see beyond their noses, yet they insult those who can.
selfishness has totally blinded them.

MissMeiya:

I know you aren't familiar with the concept, but it's called patriotism. Parasite.

pazienza:


Patroitism? Well i am quite familiar with it. I see it in my uncles dead pics hung in my dad's room, i hear of stories about it from my parents and uncles,four brothers sent on war front to protect the borders of a nation from invaders, an anxious mother having been displaced from her home and turned to refugee, waited for their return, her tears when only two of the four came back. The story it was told of fearless Igbo men who laid down their lives to defend a great nation. For three years,they wrote history with their blood, that their effort and labour might not be in vain.

Every odd was against them, the Super powers,lack of guns and bullets, food shortage, their women and children bombed and starved to death, yet they marched on, that history might one day remember that few once stood against many.


Yes, i know what patroitism looks like, it was BIAFRA .

MissMeiya:

Is that what you'll tell your children when they ask you why your generation failed them? Why they inherited a fúcked up country? Do you think no one else has suffered? And yet, they still fight to improve Nigeria.

If you hate Nigeria so much, [size=18pt]leave[/size].
