Factual Statistics About Nigeria Land Mass.

From the attached data, Nigeria's total land area is 924,662 Sq. Km. Although Wikipedia says it is 923,768. The 894 difference or margin of error is insignificant and negligible. All my calculations and analysis are based on 924,662.

FACTS

1. The North alone constitutes 79% of the total areas @ 730,885 out of 924,662. (NE 29.46%, NC 25.43%, NW 23.37%, and Abuja 0.8%). That means the North is 3 times larger than the South.

2. The South is a mere 21% of Nigeria. (SS 9.15%, SW 8.62%, and SE 3.19%)

3. Lagos State is the smallest state in Nigeria @ 3,345.

4. Niger State is the largest state @ 76,363.

5. Borno State is the next large state @ 70,898.

6. Anambra State is the next small state @ 4,844.

7. Niger State, @ 76,383, is almost as big as the smallest eleven (11) states put together @ 77,405. All the eleven states are in the South.

8. Just three states (Niger, Borno & Taraba) @ 201,734 are bigger than the entire South @ 193,777.

9. From within the South, Oyo State @ 28,454 is about the entire East.

10. SouthSouth is the largest among the 3 Regions in the South.

11. The smallest northern state is Gombe @ 18,768 but it is 64% of the entire East.

12. Kano is surprisingly not very big @ 20,131 and is less than Oyo State.

You can add yours.

Thank you.

So what is the north contributing to Nigeria other than landmass, population, insurgency and oppressive tendencies.

If Benue wants to be part of North, that is the headache of the indigenes. We know the boundary and borders of Yorubaland and be assured North will not have a single grain of our soil at the set time.

Big for nothing Niger State. Go to Mokwa, Makera and so on, it has been like that for ages. No development.

What the north draws out of Nigeria is too enormous that if the South had drawn same, South Africa would be no match for us in terms of development.

Nigeria's land mass is big for nothing, because the arable land is just 37% of the entire landmass.

Land mass is not an achievement neither does it bring development. Israel is a very small country yet they are rated as first world.
What brings development is intelligent human beings who work their hands and brains to exploits the beauty of nature.

Kwara and Kogi are totally part of the North, all though no one is hoping for that time you are wishing for, but if it arrives, it's the people there that'll have to vacate the land if they don't wanna be part of the North, because your military capability will never match ours, and we won't make the same mistake as that of India and Pakistan on Kashmir. we will protect our land, internally using all possible measure - both diplomatic and military options will put to order.

The North has now learn countless lessons from both experience and other countries, and we shall no longer be treated in dismay.

Yes, or have you forgotten Benue is North Central??

Talking of Taraba, it is one of the six Northeastern state of the country.

both were once under the rule of Jukun, which were later subjugated by the great Kalam empire that rules over 1000 years ago and descendants of the Songhai empire.

Your forefathers could not even launch of successful attack against my forefathers, it is now your generation that will succeed. I am laughing in Jukun.

Please know that Yorubas are a warring tribe that will never laid down to die like what you Fulanis did to the Hausas. Hausas are the slaves you conquered and do not carry your masa beyond your mosque or else we will resend the brain for you.

Can't you just think that "North" is one of the four compass points or cardinal directions.?
Brazil and Argentina are in north America, that doesn't mean there is no difference between the two nations.
When Nigeria seize to exist, there will be nothing like northern Nigeria. Yorubas know there boundary. I pray u will be part of that army that will come and die like flies.
