Nwanne, your veiled insult that I do some research is uncalled for.

Adada state was the first ever request for state creation.


Unfortunately, that order was sabotaged.

oyecuteez: . Thank U for stating the obvious. I would love you to visit any ministry that can give you tangible info about the landmass of oyo state. Then u will judge whether I'm right or wrong. U can as well google it and map-out the area I stated earlier. Information is quite easy to get nowadays. Not forgetting your submission, if just because ibadan is the 3rd largest in africa, then oyo state should av been one of the largest in africa. Wat I'm driving at is; we r not judging individual town or city here, all I talked about is region.

ej007: I've been following this thread.
Chino72 is actually not wrong, Anambra do not need a state.
Since the creation of 4 states: Anambra, Enugu, Imo and Abia from the previous old Eastern Region, Anambra never asked for a state after Agbanu people were caved out of old Enugu.

In Enugu, Ebonyi and Adada asked for states and Ebonyi was granted and Adada is about to be created.
In Abia, Aba requested for a state.
In Imo, Njaba/Orlu people requested for a state.
In Anambra, no one requested for a state simply because Anambra is near homogenous.

Now that more states are to be created from the SE, Anambra is being FORCED to contribute local governments and I'll say unwillingly.
Orumba North and South are going to Etiti State. Luckily for Aguata, they survived it.
Ihiala is being forced into Njaba.

If a referendum is conducted in those local governments today, I'll bet you they will not vote to leave Anambra but forces beyond them is at work.

So Chino72 is right, Anambra do not need a state because we are one people.

maestroferddi: You can see na. You guys wanted Adada State in the Second Republic but lost out to Ebonyi State. How come there were not folks like you to articulate this quest then but only now when it can only fly in a 54-state arrangement?

passion007:
You're misremembering.
Enugu was created in 1991, and Ebonyi much later in 1996

Kaxmytex: Thrash!

Wot a nice way 2 increase population


36states to 54states..
no problem....atleast,d president go get more place 2 visit when it'z time for campaigning 4 election...

maestroferddi: It therefore follows that the question of creation of Adada State has been overtaken/stymied by later events and therefore should be discountenanced. It can only be resurrected in a 54-state structure.

Chino72: I support Adada as it is the only state that has landmass, population, resources, government institutions etc to be able to make a state!


SUPPORT ADADA TODAY!

maestroferddi: You don't know jack. The only local government I have not visited in Cross River is Bakassi. Elsewhere from Bekwarra to Etung, from Ogoja to Boki, from Yala to Akwabuyo, from Obubra to Ikom just name them, I have been there. What you have is a forest belt and arable lands, so your riverine cock and bull doesn't wash.

Mr Traveller...which place in Cross River is called Akwabuyo?

Enugu and Ebonyi alone make up the upper half of Igboland.
It stands to reason that the new state should come from that northern half of Igboland in the spirit of equality.
No fuss, no muss.

#Support Adada State creation

Have a nice night.

maestroferddi: Which one are you: dense or density? Akpabuyo is an LG in Cross River. Even when it was mispelt as "Akwabuyo", conventional wisdom should have told you that it was Akpabuyo that was meant. BTW Akpabuyo is pronounced "Akwabuyo". Sorry I scrambled your puny attempt to talk what you know next to nothing about...

herald9:
whatever man

In summary...you can only know about a place if you have been there...

So am telling you about the condition of those places i've been and you are here refuting all my post as if you did a topographical survey on CRS...

Just Tell me you've passed through all those places you mentioned and i'll believe you.

mandax: Gosh, some people continue to believe that they can rob Peter to pay Paul.

Njaba and Aba state proposals suffer much of the inconveniences of oil and gas explorations and exploitation, and contribute oil and gas revenues to Nigeria's coffers. Adada state proposal contributes none of these and suffers no environmental pollution from oil and gas exploration and exploitation.

Aba state proposal has 9 local govt area councils to be cut out from 18 local councils of Abia state;

while Njaba proposal has 12 local govt area councils to be cut out from the 27 local councils of Imo state.

Both Njaba and Abia state proposals have land masses and populations more than Adada state proposal of 7 local govt councils to be cut from Enugu state of 17 local councils. Above all, Ebonyi state was cut mainly from Enugu state a few years ago.

Please can any body tell us why anybody can think of making Adada a state before Njaba and Aba?

basilo101:
Let me tell u why Adada shud be a state instead of Aba n Njaba. Aba province is already a state but d capital was takn 2 umuahia. Same way onitsha province was givn a state and decided 2 use awka as capital. Njaba (orlu) was under owerri province and dia4 nt in league old metropolitan provinces of eastern region. As it stands nw, only Nsukka province is yet 2 be givn dia own state.

Chino72: I thought they said that chino is an agent of division whereas it is because I say the bitter truth all the time. I don't care whose ox is gored.

Anambra is not interested in any state creation.

Anambra is monolithic and homogenous in nature, we don't want any part us touched in whatever guise either state creation.

It feels great being an Anambran. Nobody wants to go out of the Anambra Union because our government spreads development to all corners and every community in the state is thick and that is what makes Anambra thick as a state!

Ife eji abu Anambra erika.

rockbase360: This is when you know Nigeria can't grow as a nation. These so-called delegates want more states added to the already unviable states? Nigeria should only have 9 states.

oluamid: Dayummn! All I see are land and power brokers. Creation of new states will not change the attitude of our politicians. As a matter of fact, those people at the confab are pushing for state creation because they know they will corner most of the new states' share of the national cake when it starts falling. Unfortunately, ordinary Nigerians who will bear the brunt of this cake cornering continue to wallow in ignorance as exemplified by most comments on this thread. We are already fighting among ourselves over this issue of state creation. The ruling class knows that they only need to throw us a bone and we will be so preoccupied with it that we won't ask them questions. What difference will it make if you change the name of a state or create a new one and say the people of X state are now people of Y state? Will it change the intellect of the people? Will it change how they think or do things? Will it change the fact that the ruling class will continue to rob us blind?

Let's stop putting the cart before the horse. Let's take care of corruption and the many other issues bedeviling us, then we can start thinking of creating more states. We don't need the creation of new states yet, what we need is the creation of a new mindset.

Onlytruth: I ALWAYS hated divisions, and this state creation will never get my support even if it rectifies the marginalization of SE at the center.

Just see what is about to happen: people are about to be excised into a state they clearly don't want. I am yet to meet any Anambra person that wants to belong to any new state. The thieving politicians in the "national conference" are mainly representing themselves.

I also often wonder why my Imo brothers want another state carved for them. I believe that current Imo state is great AS IS and will only grow greater if left alone. I feel the same for Enugu (Adada thingy). Who says that Enugu can't develop and use the resources in Nsukka axis?

But by far the most laughable aspect of it all is that we are being told that the new states will practice "true federalism". Haha.
The older (bigger and strong ) states weren't allowed to practice it, it is the new tiny states that can fund state police (which must be included in any reasonable true federalism).

Folks are just deluded, honestly.
They should just leave Anambra alone. We are tired of divisions and sharing of "national cake". We want to work biko.
Our future is in our hands.

Proud Anambra son.
