Babymama1: I wonder where some of these names were pulled from And Katsina state is dubbed "Home of Hospitality", give me a break. Try going to Katsina if you're a Christian and see their "Hospitality". P:S Katsina state is home to Buko hari leader Muhammadu Buhari, weather he still lives there or he's relocated to Sambisa I can't tell. 11 Likes |

Imo State as Eastern Heartland...not sounding smart or imaginative if you ask me. While not get a slogan that sounds nationalistic or conveys something like endowment in human or natural resources? This present slogan disparages the state and makes it look like some rural and not-just-there state. Someone can do better. |

I represent the Light of the Nation! The state that produced the first president of Nigeria. The state with the best and brightest human capitals in Africa. The state with the least poverty rate. The state that leads the pack in WAEC, NECO, COMMON ENTRANCE, JAMB and all. Anambra the brain-box of Nigeria! 9 Likes

How did Oyo become pacesetter state when they came behind Kaduna state in the last WAEC result. Some of the titles should be changed immediately 5 Likes |

McWhillion: Kaduna is the centre of education. I ll be godamned. Judging by the last Waec result where they came before Oyo ,Ekiti and Ebonyi states,they earned that title |
Re: Nigerian States And Their Nick Names by Graviton2(m): 2:35pm On Jul 07, 2014 |
Babymama1: Centre of malpractice is more like it. During my WAEC period, many of my fellow students left my school to go to "miracle centres" in Kaduna - because my school did not condone exam malpractice. They told me the answers to the questions were written on the board for all to copy. Many of them got great results owing to this, others had their results seized. I thank God I stayed in my school and my result was excellent. Hard work pays. |
