In Nigeria today, country is split into 6 geopolitical areas, that are North East, North Western world, North Central, South East, WEST and South South geopolitical areas, these geopolitical zones are further split into 36 states which make up the Federal government Republic of Nigeria.

Be educated that the most significant claims in Nigeria by Land mass are situated in north Nigeria where in fact the prominent people and culture there are the Hausa-Fulani people.

Remember, we will check out list the five states in Nigeria that are Largest in Land mass below.


1. Niger State
Niger State is the largest state by Land mass in Nigeria. It was created in 1976 when the old North-Western State was split into Niger State and Sokoto State respectively. Niger state is named after the River Niger and it is home to Nigeria’s two most popular hydroelectric power Dams namely Kainji Dam, and the Shiroro Dam.

Niger State covers an astonishing 95,363 square kilometres of land.

2. Borno State
The second largest state in Nigeria by Land mass is Borno state. Borno state is massive, almost as big as Niger state. Borno state was created in 1976 and in 1991, Yobe state was carved out of it. Borno state covers 92,893 square kilometres of land.

3. Taraba State
Taraba state was created in 1991 from the old Gongola state. While it is not as massive as the first two states on this list,it is still larger than most states in Nigeria and that is why it is third on this list behind only Niger and Borno states. Taraba state covers 54,473 square kilometres in land mass.

4. Kaduna State
Fourth on the list of the largest states in Nigeria is Kaduna state. Kaduna state isn't as enormous as Taraba but it comes close. It is as big as 46,053 square kilometres.

Kaduna has a rich history.
Kaduna dates back to the start of British colonial rule in northern Nigeria where people who live in the area were called ‘Northern Nigerians.’ In 1967, these people were said to be living in the ‘North Central State.’ This status quo was maintained until 1975 when the former ‘Kaduna State’ was created by the then military leader, Gen. Murtala Mohammed.

The current Kaduna state is the successor of the old Northern Region of Nigeria, which had its capital at Kaduna which is now the home of over 6.3 million people.

Kaduna has been further divided on numerous occasions to create states like Katsina and others. It houses close to 63 different ethnic groups.

5. Bauchi State
Bauchi state completes this list and it is the fifth largest state in Nigeria by land mass. It covers 45,837 square kilometres.

Bauchi state was formed in 1976 when the former North-Eastern State was broken up by authorities. In 1996, it was further broken down and Gombe state was formed.

Keep writing you haven't finished

Nice piece.

northern hegemony... split d lands

5 largest empty and unproductive desert that rely on the crude oil of the Niger Delta for survival.
No wonder they desprately want One Nigeria.
80% of Northern States have an IGR not up to 1billion.

Big for nothing states...ravaged by boko boys to worsen d matter..

Fairly true. Do your research, the Northern part of Nigeria is not unfutile ground.

What has been big give to them except a good haven for bokoharam to hid and perpetuate their evil. If them like let it b as big as the whole of Africa it amount to nothing.

They are a big burden on the south.

nice...but none of them is purely a hausa or fulani state @op

These states are blessed with large land mass but the question is what has been the positive output to the dwindling economy of this country? Because as far as I can remember lagos is the state with the smallest land mass in nigeria but they are generating high revenue. The NIGER-DELTA with their small land mass is the countries source of wealth. Why are these northern areas with large land mass not used for agriculture and RANCHES to boost the economy of the nation?






UNFRUITFUL LARGE LAND MASS

Looking at the Map, Lagos is the smallest, yet most productive.

Success has never been about the size.

Even during Xex....

as large as the dinosaurs....yet as morose and incompetent. divide nigeria and most states up north will become somali and go Extinct

Big head is a burden to the shoulder. BIG FOR NOTHING.

kano is richer than each 5 south east states and atleast 4 to 5 states in the north are ahead of one south east state or the other in terms of gdp except imo

Google is your friend

If anything at all, south east is the bigger parasite than any other region in this country

Not by land

As usual, the ataché by force yoots are already wailing on behalf of the Niger Delta when no one asked them to.

I guess they feel slighted by the title of the thread considering he size of their whole five villages put together.

Persecution complex ti take over .

They Keep talking about parasitism when they couldn't state exactly what they contribute to the country's economy in a thread dedicated to that; rather, they cursed, wailed, and cursed some more. No doubt, those are the things they contribute to the economy in no small measure.. . Oh, and tears as well.. Ain't that something!

much better than your tiny, erosion riddened and crime infested south east where no one wants to go and can't even accommodate the Igbos themselves.

I'm sure you are not even typing this from Igbo land. I'm very sure.

Amazing that the tribe that don't contribute anything, not even a good environment for others to thrive, are the ones that scream parasitism at the slightest opportunity.

Their region is so fuuckked up, nobody, not even they, want to live there.

No northern state is better than any SE State in Human Developmen Index. Is it Literacy rate, health, Wealth distribution etc
how can a region with IDP Camps, low literacy rate, acute poverty, Polio epidemics, Backward states, Boko haram haven, etc be better than South East? Joker.

Enugu is paris when compared with ur backward Benue or that bush called makurdi.
I am not suprised by how u behave online, lack of exposure is a huge problem.
Can u tell me the IGR of ur Benue state monthly? what have u parasites ever contributed to National purse.
Nnewi is richer than the whole Benue State! Bitter truth.

LMAO

Coming from a lady whose tiny 5 states aren't even enough for their, what, 50-60 million population. To worsen the issue the tiny land is prone to erosion.

Little wonder they are scattered in every nook and cranny of the country.

You not only need the oil from Niger Delta but also the lands in the north and west to live on.

Oil and land parasites

you didnt counter my point, I repeat in south east, ur brothers are everywhere begging, doing gateman job, digging sockaway pit, etc. Go and face the IDP camps, boko haram, low literacy rate, polio epidemics in ur region.
Is not by size, Israel is the Size of South East btt Very developed.
Like balarabe musa said, many Northern local govt. can't boast of 100engineers, just to show u how backward u people are.

right
Yet, northern states are performing better than you where it is needed most?

Its like saying because china have a huge of number educated folks and geniuses, they are better than america.

Ogbeni, northern states are lesser parasite on south south oil compared to south east and facts have shown that.
That's what started the arguement. Disprove it or shut the fhuck up.

you just ended up saying nothing, tell me 15 states in the north that their IGR is over 2billion monthly.
But they swallow 65% of Federal allocation, have any northern state being an NDDC State, have they contributed atleast one naira to national purse? Even during regionalism, they were the poorest region.
Ebonyi state Monthly Allocation is just 900
million naira,not even up to a billion YET Ebonyi beats majority of Northern states in Human development index. Swerve abeg

Hypocrisy is when you know they don't contribute anything and when they said they want to leave you start wailing and crying
