Kwakwanso should be thanking the people of Southern Nigeria for being merciful enough to carry the burden of the 'parasitic northern Nigeria' on their shoulders for many years instead of trumpeting a phantom population figure for Kano. The North that contributes nothing to Nigeria should very greatful to the south.

U Lagos is more populous than Oyo State but Lagos only have 20 Local Government. How many LGAs are there in Kaduna State? We need to implement the Confab report to tackle some of these things
I swear,that report must be implemented.

When the British left, there were 3 regions. Go back to the three regions and carve out the states within that structure.
The national confab will address that if implemented. Some part of Nigeria dnt want the confab report becos they are benefiting so that is why they want us to maintain the status quo. Let Nigeria burn after 28th if some elements dont want a national restructuring of Nigeria.

Some people claim they are more educated than the rest of us but, the time to do the needful they begin to look face of my people my people. I expected them to be at d front, the confab report will turn around things in this country. Nigeria will burn if some elements dont want to change our unfruitful system of 50years. We must have a new face of Nigeria future.

You just get it there they are interested in politics when we are at the hour/time of issues and restructing the country wholly. For us to have a working Nigeria the current system must be replaced. And the confab report is just it. It is the best way to settle every section of Nigeria equally. Every well meaning Nigerian support it today and you will not regret ur vote for GEJ.

The only state that cannot sustain itself in south east Ebonyi & the only state that can sustain itself in north west is kano & they have 7 states while south east has 5.
Land mass yes, population very suspicious as every census in nigeria had been largely rigged to favour the north ( does it take rocket science to know that lagos is far more populated than kano).
Representation, equity in national voting & balance in funding, south east are cheated in all these.
and who told you that Ebonyi cannot sustain itself?..look at my signature..when it comes down to my signature, every state should manage itself let's see who will cry first..See the era has passed when you guys relegate Ebonyi to background ..

How does creating a new state in the SE solve issues in the SE?

You just mentioned that Imo and Anambra are densely populated, does a new state change the fact that that geograhical location is densely populated? Does it solve the problems associated with a high populated density?

We should look for solution to our problems not fight over who has the bigger dick[/quote
If it doesn't solve. ..why not collapsing the whole north into one state? ? Myopic fools

Actually the man spoke logically.

Whats the population or land mass of the SouthEast to deserve one more state?

But since Jonathan talks before thinking he wants to cause another wahala before shamefully leaving Aso Rock

Not surprised, you're always against anything good for the Igbos. You were the leading yoruba tribalist on nairaland those days when you ran your dayokanu handle. I smh. embarassed

From his logic, lagos state should be carved up too based on population
core northern areas with swathes of empty desert lands are looking for new state.. maybe they may carve out sambissa as a state too judging from its size and bok haram population
We urgently need an unbiased clear census!

Weren't States and regions represented in the National CONFERENCE?

I believe the consensus reached at the National Conference should be implemented.

You can't be wiser than all the participants who negotiated through the interest and diversity to approve recommendations that were acceptable to all.

What foolish national conference are u even talking about? A conference that comprises more of delegates that were singlehandedly chosen by fg and state governors? A conference that wasn't free to set up its own agenda? What major difference does this conference had that obj conference didn't?
Don't be deceived, what befell obj conference will befall this also.
Until an SNC is convened that will comprise the various nationalities, we are only deceiving ourselves.
For a single state to be established, the bulk of our state house of Assembly has to agree to it. That to me simply can't happen.

what is bigotry in what GEJ said? U people just look for opportunity to call our president names.

Anyway Igbos are seeing the love APC have for us. We are seeing what to expect if GMB elected (GOD FORBID).

It is a pity that people who have achieved all on the bases of federal character will not allow equity in creation of state.

I still believe in one Nigeria but... I will wait until after saturday‘s election before i will make more comment on this...

The answer to all this madness is simple
1. abolish state of origin and replace it with state of residence.
2. allow states control their resources and pay royalties to the federal government.
if the above are done nobody will care where the President is from rather emphasis will be on the governors there by making state creation a non issue.

People are seeing the evil plans of the Arewas and the still shout "change" for APC.

Honestly, anybody from southern Nigeria that votes for buhari is the BIGGEST FOOL.

Nigerians, christians and people from southern Nigeria who vote Buhari by saturday will live to regret it.

Its not about Jonathan, its about breaking the strong grip of the Hausa Fulani Hegemony on Nigeria.

Vote wisely , lets destroy born to rule by the Fulanis through our votes for Jonathan.

^^^This has always been my approach to this election! GEJ may not be the best Nigeria has to offer, but a message needs to be sent to the Hausa/Fulani hegemonic/oligarchic/born-to-rule xenophobes that nobody is beholden to their every whim and caprice anymore! This isn't the 60s/70s/80s when they rode roughshod over everyone else and carried on like the entire country was their personal property!

Peeps can now see why i sometimes hate and give up on this country! The Hausa/Fulani elite wouldn't allow the rest of us to do what is necessary to free each region/ethnicity from the shackles of their leeching parasitism; they're desperately clinging to the rest of us and weighing us down!

I WANT OUT!

^^^You must think you're dealing with mugs here!

u are highly ignorant

Did any region, state, religion or any other grouping declare they weren't taking part in said conference? If any did let me know!

Did any ethnic group categorically came out to present their chosen representative as against those appointed by the govt in those states?
Was the opposition party part of the fraud? In those states that opposition governed, wasnt it pdp echelons that selected those that will represent?



Now the conference has come and gone and decisions (however watered-down they were) have been reached, you crafty lot now want to renege on what you agreed to just because you feel your ill-gotten advantages are about to be threatened!


Right from the beginning, the conference was a fraud because it simply not backed by law. U cant legalise what is an illegality from the onset. at best, it was a talk shop. This call was made before the conference started but Jonah-daft ignored it. Whatever they agree upon in that conference will still go through the NASS. Some of the recommendations will go through the state NASS among which are controlled by the opposition who never were part of it. Now tell me how the recommendation will come to fruition. The conference is a waste. deal with it.

Of course you guys have form in going back on your word and reneging on agreements willingly entered into so i'm not surprised!

Shut ur trap and face the issue at stake. tell me specifically how u intend changing the constitution based on what the conference said when the opposition was never part of it? are u aware that 2/3rd of state house of assembly has to approve it? where do u want to get that from?

It is not bad for Jonathan to say that south east will be considered first.He knows that south east has been marginalised in terms of state creation.The Hausas should not take it as a tribal issue.GEJ knows what he is doing and he will continue to do his best as he will be re-elected on saturday.
Re: “it Is The Northerners Who Deserve Another State, Not The South East” Arewa by Nobody: 2:25pm On Mar 26, 2015
Reasons To Vote For Goodluck Jonathan this Saturday.

1. After been sworn on the 29th May, 2011. GEJ gave Nigerians the best New year gift ever in the history of Nigeria on the 1st of Jan 2012 by increasing fuel price to N150/liter

2. GEJ provided 3000 jobs thru d immigration service dt 700,000 Nigerian youths applied for. D process dt killed our youths, no exam took place, no 1 got d job. No probing, Query or sacking. Immigration made over 700million! Unemployed youths scammed by their own government.

3. Stella Odua former aviation minister bought 4 bullet proof BMW cars at 250million each using aviation money. Calculate the total angry Subsidy money $20billion frm d National treasury missin. GEJ said stealing is nt corruption but u're still struggling to pay 1k 4 u monthly BIS.

4. Boko Haram has killed over 30,000 Nigerians. Kidnapped innocent girls & boys frm Government schs. GEJ said dy r our brothers & decided to go afta dm after postponing elections. Well Boko Haram has kidnapped 400 women yesterday. U tot dy chased dm out of naija abi? Don't worry GEJ will chase dm out wen u elect him again & wait till dy cme to Rivers & Lagos state.

5. Nigeria has the best economy in Africa. GEJ & Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala are working o! But Naira has no value in Naija and outside Naija. Somebody is givin us zobo cos d best economy shd av greatest currency value in Africa. Vote GEJ again & he will make sure dt $1=N250 so dt our uncles & aunts abroad can send us money. grin

6. GEJ postponed election & reduced fuel price frm N97/liter to N87 but y are dy selling fuel to us @ N120/liter. The dream of GEJ is to take it to N150/liter as he planned in 2012. Transformation Agenda my pple!

7. Vote GEJ because u wnt God to run ur life & the lives of ur children the way GEJ & his pple r running Nigeria. A good speech is enough for the wise
