I am still trying to understand the term "State of Origin in Nigeria". I have done some internet research but I still have not come to a conclusive definition.
Can an educated audience, Please enlighten us.

Well, its suppose to be the state your father hail from. It has no real use except that in nigeria every thing is done on quota system. so you need it to gain admission, get a job or appointment into govt establishment or to benefit anything from the nigeria nation state

The state of origin, is the origin of discrimination,,it divide us than unite us,by implications, they are trying how to removed it.

In Nigeria,, the state you come from, and the original village of your father. Simple..

I'm sorry, but the STATE OF ORIGIN clause has come to stay in Nigeria. It can never be removed because we are not a homogenous country.
It can only work in a homogenous country or a country where everybody has a sense of oneness.

If it is removed, minority tribes also stand to be the most disadvantaged.

Look at the shameless Omo Igbo thread develop your area and enjoy your state of origin perks
