alj harem: Governor with brain. Abeg fashola please tell them oh ! Creation of state apart from the last SE state would only result to more looting. PDP bunch of thieves.

Ngwakwe:

Why don't you tell him to disban those Illegal Development Authorities he allowed elections to be conducted.

I am in support of those Development Authories created by Lagos State for grassroot developments and so is the creation of these seven states for Regional Equality

Hypocrites

maryjames9:

YOU ARE A BIG FOOL
LGA BRINGS GOVERNMENT MORE CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE
CREATING MORE STATES ONLY MEAN LOOTING MORE MONEY
STUPID PDP CLUELESS GET'S FOLLOWER

Chongaiman: How suave. I wonder how he is able to appreciate the problem of multiplicity of states while overlooking that of the abuse of the immunity clause.

afam4eva: The average Nigerian leader is selfish. The same people aho are against state creation are clamouring for state police. Where will the money used to fund state police come from? Is it not from the FG?

Delafruita:
the development authorities are not illegal.those that know tha battle tinubu waged to create local governments and the crisis that resulted before the compromise that led to the creation of the LCDAs wont make such a comment

mbhs139: Is creation of state the solution to nigeria's problem? Just like the governor said, the existing ones are not even yet viable and self sustainable, and we are here talking about creating more. It's just like creating more problem.

Now, what I have always suggested is that the existing states should be made to be more powerful, powerful in the sense that we should decentralise the government, let the states generates their own revenue and contribute to the centre, that is, true federalism.

If each states is left to eat from their own sweat, I bet you, no one will call for the creation of states anymore ... because you will know that there is no free money anymore from the viable states while other states folds their hands. let the days of going to abuja to collect money be over.

Ebonyi state was a mistake.

Ngwakwe:

I used the word "Illegal" in the sense that they were not recognised by FG.

The allocations given to them by the State are not from FG and nobody fills a form for anything claiming they come from those LGAs.

Why was creating more Local Government Areas good for Lagos State and the creation of more States are bad for Nigeria?

Hypocrites

Hypocrites. [quote author]. bros, as u are crusifying him why can't u ask urself what this country has benefited from all the parasite or moshroom dat had been created or how many of them are viable on their own without oil money from niger delta. Think of this more state more special advicers, more bills as security vote,more god fathers,more alumagiries,more kidnapers,more agberos and more millitants etc all this are to d detriment of oil producing state. I think fashola was right for advocating for local govt rather than state creation because local govts are more closer to pple than state expecially if authonomous of local govt being work on by nation assembly is pass for example local government chair of side was impeached last month for poor performant, if it was state govt can we be able??. Me donot known ur state or why you are suporting state creation, but from what me can see from most moshroom so call state from north to the south u will call for merger of some state if u too being to or see most of this so call state, Population wise,economical wise most of the place they called capital can not stand beside places we call rural area in my state. Go and check most of infracture facilities round the states 70% of them were constructed by Awos, Zics, Amodus of those days almost nothing had been added to it .Just want u to think as a nigerian not as a niger deltan or yoruba man or igho man or northernal or one village, think of economic impact on overall nigerians not your selfish interest

gregg2: Fashola is selfish.
The man knows that his Lagos state is a single town
and can never benefit from state creation.

Besides, why is he pushing for creation of more LGA's instead?
Are LGA's in Nigeria viable?

samkoro: The six geopolitical zones shld be regarded as states while current states shld be considered as developement units for the regions

Sean lenux: Infact this fashola must be a stupid man together with bunch of bondos, despicable, imps and junks that support him in this NL. I thought NL is for interllectuals not junks that put tribalism into issues. When new states have not been created, are they not syphoning public funds? States creation must go on. I support the creation of Ibadan state.
