Kayharry: Best information so far. However, the geographical center of Nigeria isnt Abuja, it is actually the neighboring Southern Kaduna. Southern Kaduna as the geographical centre of Nigeria was also a strong part of the consideration as the capital, specifically a village called Sabon gida in the present Sanga LGA bordering the popular Forest on the Akwanga-Jos road. Abuja site came out most suitable because most of the factors considered were there especially the geophysical properties (source of water, drainage, construction materials etc ). 1 Like |

content208:. Example: Ekiti state was part of Ondo before(old Ondo state). Ekiti was carved out from mainly Ondo and some state like Osun , Kwara, and Kogi... Your statement is now like saying Edo state was part of OLD ONDO STATE maybe because it shares boundaries with both present Ekiti and Ondo state....POINT: there is no way Kwara state can be part of Abuja..except u don't know your map and in lay man's way, tribe in Kwara is presently in Abuja ??... |

Danwakae: Oga, stop talking rubbish. Abuja was carved out of old kwara, Niger, Kaduna and plateau states. And kogi was part of the old kwara state from which Abuja was carved out. Stop acting clever and making a fool of yourself in the process. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Capital_Territory,_Nigeria 1 Like |

There was no Nassarawa when Abuja was created or when Pres. Babangida moved there in 1991...so the states it was created from would be possibly Kwara, Niger and Plateau...since Nassarawa was part of Plateau until it was created in 1996. |

Danwakae: Old kwara State was part of Abuja. How come that is so difficult for you to deduce? Why is this guy arguing stupidly like this. Has anyone ever told you that you like blind argument? |
Re: In Which State Was Abuja Before It Was Made The Nation's Capital? by Nowenuse: 6:43pm On Nov 04, 2019 |
Danwakae: Stop arguing blindly. Old Kwara state (Kogi), Old Plateau state (Nasarawa) and Niger states contributed to the lands of Abuja. |
