I dont know when these myopic youths on nairaland will stop this foolishness of 'my head is bigger than yours..

Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria,yet its the richest and most viable...Japan,Singapore,Switzerland are all much smaller than Nigeria,yet Nigeria is a billion times poorer than these country and can be classified as a huge IDP camp.

You lots had better quit disgracing yourselves here and use your brains(if you have any) to better your environment to a World-Class one.

Iboland is a fraction of the size of Yorbaland. You can yap all the grammar you want to yap and that fact will not change.
Your rationale is even wrong considering the fact that the economy of the SE is also negligible compared with other regions.

afonjaheadhunt:
Heya still crying?
Stand alone you say? I am only telling you the stakeholders to the Land you claim, benin's are mere tenants in that edo state, the real benin land is that part that was fenced with benin dead bodies, i think the size should be around one Acre or Something the size of 3 football pitch which currently happens to be the obas palace, so make no mistake i am not famzing like you odudua descendant.

Why will yoruba or any of the other stakeholders claim to have land in edo state when they know it is not under any dispute, when benin tries that rubbish with afonja or any of the other stakeholders then you will see that the Ijaw recolonization of benin land will be a joke compared to the wrath of Igbos or afonjas. Unlike benin's, If benin people really owned gelegele the will not be carrying ply cards and crying allover the cyber space for help from their Ijaw Lords like they are doing today.

Go to Gelegele and tell the Ijaw man that he reckons that it is bini land and see if Skull mining afonjas will not be pricing the remnants of your decapitated body parts from the Ijaw land owners.

You all live in peace because you have accepted Ijaws as your lords and masters in the Niger delta and riverine afonja land, i thought benin's use to claim warriors, why have they suddenly lost their voice, today the Oba of benin is a modern day slave to fulani herdsmen just to use federal might to steal gelegele land from Ijaws, however Ijaws are Battle ready can the same be said of benin's coward?

By Ipob i guess you mean Igbo's? if yes, then that is because Igbo's fear No man and go to war with death to find life, however if you really meant Ipob you can refer that question to Ipoblogic, he is very sound and will provide a very wise answer that could save the annihilation of benin land. Ijawslave.

Who has d time to read this story.

The level of insecurities in landmasses between the East and the West is mind boggling and unbelievable that it should not call for debates in the first place.

Oyo state alone is 28,454 km²

Abia state is 6,320 km²
Enugu state is 7,161 km²
Imo state is 5,530 km²
Anambra state is 4,844 km²
Ebonyi state is 5,533 km²

The totality of the five South Eastern states would give us 29388 km², just 934 km² more than Oyo state. Interestingly, Lagos is just 999.6 km², which means Lagos and Oyo is bigger than the five South Eastern states combined.

Sadly, the lust for land mass should not call for debate, rather, developmental growth and generated revenues should be the key focus and the topic for discussion.

Being the smallest region with the smallest land mass in the country, one would think developmental strides would be in top gear in the East but this is not to be. There are so many undeveloped areas and local governments far more than developed ones in all five states and no one seems to be saying a thing.

Lagos, regardless of its size is the most economic viable state in the country. Ironically, it is still being dragged and claimed by those who believe the travelling distance between Anambra alone is far longer than the whole of Oyo.

Being geographically small should be an advantage as it should see to quicker developmental achievements but this is just the opposite for the South East region where governors do nothing and claim their states is in the hands of God. No developments of some sort, the region still ranks top as the least region with internally generated revenues and all every half baked Ikenna, Amadi and Emeka is concerned with is a dick measuring contest between dreams and reality. You wonder why the old men in power cannot relinquish power... The answer is simply on this thread.

What I think happened was, that in the days of none or limited data, the Lagos-Ibadan press so much hyped the south west till everyone on both sides started to believe the lies about the large size of the SW in comparison to the size of the SE and SS.

This same pattern played out in population census and figures. The SW will lie till the devil is shocked

Thank God for the Internet and the way it has opened our eyes.

The SS is bigger than the SE, land mass wise. I see no reason why you guys lump yourselves to be one with the SS when issues like this come up.

The people who defecate in the nylon bags are obviously ibos who live in their 4×4 shops all over Yorubaland. Since most shops do not have toilet facilities, where do these people dispose their wastes? Eat them? Keep them in a cooler for later disposal? Send them back to the SE by courier?

I know it is real and mostly done by ibos. If you are in Yorubaland you were probably raised in one of those shops and you are probably quite adept at flinging sh.it yourself.
Fools like you don't shake me one bit because you don't have what it takes, not in a thousand years.
People like you stand by and even give tacit support to your more retarde.d brothers and then try to take a moral high ground.
Who do you think are fooling with your vacuous analysis? I will be on the lookout for you when you are ready.

3rd largest economy in Africa is not achieved by chest beating like a mountain gorilla, it is made made possible by hardworking omoluabis and other hardworking Nigerians except the criminals. The downside is criminals and gala hawkers trying to claim what is not theirs.

Google is your friend for verifications.

Kabiyesi,
Why do you people enjoy lies so much?

We know the landmass of Nigerian states and we know the 5 southeastern states (29,525km²) are bigger than Oyo state.

We also know that Niger State is bigger than the Western Region.
If you added Lagos to Western Region, yet it's only very slightly bigger than Niger State.
Mind you, half of Lagos is water. If put only actual land mass of Lagos, Niger State is still bigger!

Now Face the facts and stop playing childish games!
