*PeacePro calls for naming of Nigeria's 6 geo-political zones*

_Says move will strip none state actors of historic content to mobilize support_

A peacebuilding think tank, Foundation for Peace Professionals also known as PeacePro has called on the federal government of Nigeria to name the 6 geo-political zones of Nigeria after historic memory.

PeacePro also said that, the naming of the Geo-political zones will help address some of the fundamental issues being used by none state actors to mobilize public support in their quest for regional solidarity.

In a statement by the Executive Director of PeacePro, Mr Abdulrazaq Hamzat, the group said the description of Nigeria's 6 geo-political zones simply as North West, South West, North East, South East and North Central,South South is of no political significance, hence the need to adopt a more political conscious approach to closing the gap of regional agitation.

According to Hamzat, the federal government should name the 6 zones properly, to reflect the desire and aspiration of the people.

"People in various zones of Nigeria identify themselves by certain names and descriptions and running away from such political identity will naturally make them feel entitled to those identities"

"This is why none state actors simply invoke those identities, to which people have affinity and connections, to mobilize them in their quest for relevance " Hamzat said.

He therefore proposed that, the South West region should be named Oduduwa region, North West named Arewa Region, South East renamed Biafra Region, North East named Kanem Borno Region, South South named Niger Delta region and North Central named Middle Belt region.

Hamzat maintained that, the naming of these regions has political implication, because none state actors often use these names as rallying point to create division amongst the people in their quest to mobilize support for their activities and officially adopting these names automatically stripes them of existing and historical concept to mobilize none suspecting members of the public for their divisive activities.

No southeast region is not Biafra, it is core igboland. Biafra has no meaning in southeast.
Again also advice the fg for equitable income distribution or regional source control. Brainless northern assholez

Very nice suggestion.
That'd be another step towards the disintegration of Nigeria, which is a very good news.

Thief.

Share which allocation equally ?

That is totally opposite of resource control but rather promotes paratism.

If we go back to real resource control, your yeast will be the poorest.

Equitable income distribution ?

That is what this centrist system is promoting which takes resources from one region/state and shares it equally to all other states .

This is a beautiful proposal if you ask me for it will forever shut the mouths of those idiots in the dot who still lay claim to SS region as part of their useless eastern region.

The use of appropriated naming from the geographical terminologies being deployed will end the foolish talks from Ibos who keep deginerating the phrase "South-south" and also severe totally any links between the SS and SE from their common colonial bondage under the then Eastern Nigeria.

You will notice how Ibos always attack SS nomenclature and are the first to dismiss the region as not viable to be left on their own claiming it's multicultural setup makes it rife to be colonised by them.

This northerner was speaking directly to the Ibo Biafra pigs who keep laying claim to SS as theirs to conquer and occupy as retorted by that their lunatic Nnamdi Kanu .

DoA.

Igboland balkanization by Northern Zionists will not erase history.

By changing BoB to Bight of Bonny has not changed Nigerians political, security, governance and economic woes.

But you can't erase the identity of Rita Daniels, Ifeanyi Okowa, Tony Elumelu, Ned Nwoko, Lucky Irabor, and plenty others who identify and affirm their Igbo ancestry and heritage in Delta and parts of Eastern Edo (Igbanke/Igbo-Akiri).

For the CRS, AKIB, Benue, and Rivers, go and remove their Igbo identity and heritage from them.

Unity begger. You said 100 days is not enough to see changes to Tinubu's Presidency but Ironsi can make a change in 2 months, died after and that change has lasted for 53yrs unchanged. Does that make sense to you?

I like this idea.

I wonder why our Ibo brothers wants to develop high blood pressure over this idea when no one is dragging their Ibo land with them. 😂

Yorubas are happy with this news. The SW governors have been pushing this idea and also resource control for a while.
