How viable will these states be? Just consider global economic challenge.

the current 36 states can hardly stand on their own except for 3 states.
how would the newly states finances themselves? by depending on the federal government again??

we should be talking about reducing the number of states rather than increasing it

Leave their survival to the leaders. How does Gambia survive as a country?

Not important,we should be thinking of merging some state instead of creating we have to reduce de cost of governance in our country. Adamawa and taraba should be merge SE shouldn't suppose to be more than two de same with some other zone.[quote author=valirex post=96327125][/quote]

It's not about cost of government but what will better the citizens of Nigeria

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so sophisticated

Day dreams shaa

You only listed 17 proposed state.

I bet you are hiding the 18th state for a reason

OfoIgbo:

Nah bro, that would be a mistake.
If I wanted to hide anything I won't even post it in the first place, think
Stop being insecure

This stupid idea is what the Igbos want, pushing for more state creation so as to have more allocation, the whole SE region have 5 states and the Landmass is almost same size as Oyo. We Yorubas do not want state creation as it causes more division, we want to Operate as Yoruba Nation.

State isn't about land mass but human population.. Besides we need aba state though

NNEWIsuper:

You can't just create state without space and human population.

adding state is like increasing poverty in Nigeria.

Manab:

Hmm not really, it's just that we have animals for leaders.
If states are broken down it would be easier for each governor to develop more easily

Then what is the 18th state?

OfoIgbo:

Check again

valirex:


Check again

The one you seem not to want to reveal is Oil River state, which seems to have taken a chunk of Igboland, and made the Igbos a minority in that state by widening the southern territory of that state.

Just as I suspected, there was a reason you chose not to reveal that state

Adada state is necessary.

Etiti state is necessary.

Ijebu state is necessary.

Ogoja state is necessary.

Apa state is necessary.

Kainji state is necessary.


Others are piece of garbage.

That state you mentioned was kicked against, and the states approved by the confab are exactly what I listed out.
Like I said earlier try to stop feeling insecure, not everyone is out to spike at your people

Then which is the 18th state? You mentioned that 18 new states were agreed on. Tell us the 18th state

If ONLY GEJ implemented the 2014 ComFAb, Nigeria would have been better for it.

Aba state is the only viable one there

Good

Not viable

OfoIgbo:

And I told you, go through my post again

Manab:

but if those state were created, it will help to accelerate development in those areas and bring govt closer to the people and reduce the power of governors.

valirex:


And I told you, go through my post again

I went through your post and in the attached picture, I saw Oil Rivers state. That state cannot be. The intention is to make every Igbo group dependent on Ijaw people for access to the sea, and Ijaw people's wish to muscle into some oil rich Igbo areas to the north

Creation of more problem

There's no need to divide Delta State
