Dem no go fit kill us for this country. Is this the solution to nigeria's problems?

why do northerners always dominate everything

creating new states is not really the solution. they are creating more means for this politicians to loot more money.

More political offices...

#abeg i dey come..make i go pay ma tax

TDazzlin: creating new states is not really the solution. they are creating more means for this politicians to loot more money.

nigeria is a country where an existing institution is not working and giving problems, we create more intitutions out of the existing problem-giving one to multiply the problems.

Point of correction,Ose state will be carved out of ondo and not edo.

Hmmm! New states ke.?

The only recommendation that shows the headlessness of the 'delegates' at the conference is this recommendation.
We hav existing states that are working or can't stand without the monthly federal allocations, and we're here talking about creating more states to multiply the problems.

Abbey2sam: why do northerners always dominate everything

Were you opportuned to attend any Mathematics Class during your Primary and Tertiary Education?! If you take a look at the list very well, you'd discover that South West has 2, South South 4 and South East 4 which makes the total number of South 10. While Northern States only have 8 new additional states. So, tell us how they dominate this!

ignore that abbey2sam, he's as useless as his maths teacher.

A new Nigeria will be born when these states are finally created

Those of you shouting "NO" to more states do so out of lack of understanding

More states up North, means more liberation of minorities from the grip of hausa fulani kanuri elites

It means they now have a platform to air their views of which most of them will favour we Southern Nigerians since they think like us when it comes to national issues.

For those shouting about their economic viability

There is no part of Nigeria that can not take care of themselves.

The problem is, some sections of Nigeria oppose an economic structure that rewards hardwork because of the fear of being left behind.


Do you know that some Yoruba delegates opposed 13% gotten from offshore(ocean floor) being given to SS states

Do you know that Arewa delegates opposed a higher derivative% to be placed on solid minerals before it was pegged at 5% when it should be pegged at 18 % just like Crude Oil derivative


God is using GEJ to start a new Nigeria

Take it or leave it
