Ridiculous attitudes like this by the North is why the likes of Nnamdi Kanu are very popular in the South East! 5 Likes 2 Shares |

onoja12: Please don't cook up falsehood against Edwin Clark. Research one bit; Edwin Clark's Ijaw people even protested openly after the CONFAB that new state was not recommended from their area by the CONFAB. So GEJ did not play to benefit his Ijaw or any particular group during the CONFAB. He played like a lover of One Nigeria he is. But the haters of One Nigeria are the greedy ones from north who do not want to give up any economic and political advantages which north got through its soldiers who proliferated too many undue number of states and local councils in the north. Yes, we do not like to tell ourselves the truth in Nigeria: but the truth is that in no modern country did soldiers create the country's federating units - as was done by northern soldiers in Nigeria. 5 Likes 1 Share |

kaycid77: Kwara State is 37,700 square km Abia state is 5,420 square km Enugu State is 12,440 square km Ebonyi State is 5,530 square km Anambra State is 4,844 square km Imo State is 5,430 square km The Total landmass of states in SE is 33,664 square km. I am sure half of that landmass is gully eroded or red mud. No wonder, all of you keep trooping out of the jungle of Biafra like ants, searching for greener pastures. 1 Like |

So the restructuring of Nigeria has become anti-North? As far as these fundamental issues about Nigeria's unity are not addressed, Nigeria will never know peace. ''NIGERIA IS A MERE GEOGRAPHICAL EXPRESSION''- AWOLOWO. 1 Like 1 Share |

phyllosilicate:So the only one you will accept it is when it is vice versa or what? Is not the outcome more important that the cries of the northerners. Well, the fate of this nation is sealed. There remained a zone of this country that may not produce president for now, they complain and wail, but still will remain the most progressive. Opposite to that are the zones/regions that produces more presidents than others but will never rise above poverty. The other zone, well, will ever remain here or there. 2 Likes |

millionaireman: I didn't care then and I don't care know how you feel, If you are pained you know what to do, I can provide you a good rope find a tree branch and do the needful. Below is the map of Nigeria , the first true thing that needs to be done before correcting the constitution is to correct the wrong perceptions and conduct a true census of the nation. How places such as Kwara, Kogi, Benue and Taraba are considered North beats me , those are either southern states or middle belt at best. But the SE trying to carve more states out of nothing beats me; cross rivers is the only state that can be butchered and even that makes no sense, I'd personally join two states in SE and make a super structure. 1 Like

millionaireman:Even the so called Kwara State that is about 80% Yoruba is politically Zoned to favor the North. Most of my kits and kins there aren't happy with this. My S/W town is a stroll away to Kwara North,laughable.. reasons for the so called land mass, population, more reps in both houses of parliament and allocations,etc isn'nt justified...Allocation of the proceeds from where? These are just little in the whole scheme of injustices to other regions. If this is considered, somebody wouldn't mention land mass. 2 Likes |

Alfranco: Highlighted: allocation of the proceeds from where? Lol, please direct that question to sweetgala who posted a nonsense and ballooned map of northern Nigeria above to justify why proceeds from crude oil and VAT that come mostly from the south must be used forever to fund the undue large number of states and local government areas proliferated in the north by northern soldiers. 1 Like |

phyllosilicate: Why is nobody commenting on the OUTCOME of the conference but rather it's composition? If we go by your logic we will pass no laws in the Senate because the south will keep shouting that it's been marginalized because the North has too many senators. And forget that stupidly skewered assertion that 80% of land in Nigeria is in the North, that's insultingly untrue, what about the resources please? Can anyone tell me what the resources used in running this country is divided abeg, or does that simply walk out the window in this discussion? 2 Likes |

millionaireman: With those same northern zombies taking bullets for Nigeria in the war front I think they've payed their price. This conversation has little or nothing to do with that same "southern oil" rhetoric, it has everything to do with why an already cannibalized system should be further fragmented with creation of more states, the synergy established during the 1st republic by Awolowo, Zik and Balewa has been eroded with state governors more interested in their security votes than how to make the best of their states, regions and people. I already stated clearly that I don't believe Kwara, Kogi, Taraba are part of the north and should not be so classified , however those people are also ethnically marginalized by the south east who spite them and the SW who share little with them and remind them of that often ; some of them share a religion with core north so it is a compromise they are willing to take for their own political benefit. More states would not solve the problem , neither would implementation of a flawed confab report. To truly start to heal the wound , a correct census and national planning need to be undertaken. One where all ethnicity acknowledge the greatest tribe(Nigeria). Then we can see how to help all Nigerians achieve their potential, move away from dependence on petroleum for our economic growth, provide education to all children , harness our intellectual property, improve healthcare, Improve our rail and road network, project a good economic plan and see how we can improve our electricity distribution. We lack national planning , that is why idiots can come online and propose that the true way forward in a modern Nigeria is to dump synergy and create more independent states, all doing their own things like headless chicken increasing waste and expecting progress. |

kraftykc: Geographically as long as the Middle belt are lumped with the north that 60%-70% of the land would continue be fact. But really and truly, that should not be the question. What is the north, where does it start is the real question, and the only people who can answer that question are the middle belt. It should not matter who is from the north, but as long as the south keep making the middle belt the north, the Arewa consultative forum would continue to accommodate them. The stupid ones in this topic should sincerely accept their grievance is with the notion that SS oil is being used to service the nation 1 Like |
