I have been exploring google maps and i cannot come to terms with the state lines drawn around the south east.

The state line between:

Imo state and rivers state doesn’t make sense.

Abia state and rivers state doesn’t make sense.

Ebonyi state and cross river state doesn’t make sense

Arochukwu areas of Abia state and cross river state and Akwa ibom is very questionable.

Anambra north and kogi doesn’t make sense

Enugu and Ebonyi northern areas doesn’t make any sense.

Whomever drew those map after the civil war and during state creation really really really hated igbos and wanted to desperately limit their geography in the future Nigeria. This is why you have igbos clans forcefully carved into neighboring states. This is injustice and pure wickedness

I urge everyone to study those boundaries on google map and tell me if those lines make any sense.

If you dont like the map boundries adjust them.

An Act of the National Assembly for the purpose of boundary adjustment of any existing State shall only be passed if- 

(a) a request for the boundary adjustment, supported by two-thirds majority of members (representing the area demanding and the area affected by the boundary adjustment) in each of the following, namely- 

(i) the Senate and the House of Representatives, 

(ii) the House of Assembly in respect of the area, and 

(iii) the local government councils in respect of the area. is received by the National Assembly; and 

(b) a proposal for the boundary adjustment is approved by - 

(i) a simple majority of members of each House of the National Assembly, and 

(ii) a simple majority of members of the House of Assembly in respect of the area concerned

Adjust it nah. Mu mu

The worst among all is Imo-Rivers boundaries. The idiots divided villages into two and forcefully pushed them into different states.

I will entertain only matured response. Not every tread is for childishness.

Edit: I just saw your attachment. I will look into that and respond appropriately.

This thread is not an attack on anyone on this forum. None of you here created the states. So before you attack me, ask yourself if what I am saying is true or false or if you attacking me out of blind hatred.

I believe everyone with smart phone should be able to access google map and see for themselves.

But I will post pictures.

tell am....
if you dont agree then talk to people that can change it....

something you need to understand is,military goverment didnt started drawin maps like anyhow....

Lol telling you to take proactive steps is childish? You should have looked into how to solve the issue before ranting. I made a thread about same issue yesterday regarding akwa Ibom and cross river.

If you know what areas you want go those places and start advocating. Going local governments by local government is best option. Your limiting factor is going be the state assemblies in question wanting to let them go.

This is between Abia and cross rivers state. Notice how the person cut off the natural river boundaries of both areas.

this go be difficult issue oo....
many will kick against any change....
they are already used to it....

I know but that doesn’t stop us from telling ourselves the truth of the situation on the ground.

it will be a long process before anything is changed....

i would just let it be....
its too much wahala....

cross rivers....??
big wahala....

Imo state and rivers state doesn’t make sense.

The area to start with is obviously Enugu and Ebonyi. It's two igbo majority states. It should be very easy to adjust borders assuming they wish to be governed by new state government. Adjust borders comes with new factors to consider like public services, taxation, and taking their share of debt.

Would these people want to be governed by Abia? Can the state match the benefits enjoyed in Rivers or Akwa Ibom. There easy sell is being with people who are similar culturally, politically and demographically.

Good luck on your quest. If they're interested the process will move smoothly and probably snowball into something big.

As for me, I believe in freedom of people or groups to choose their destiny IF given a fair choice.

A lot of igbos ended up in south south not by choice but by Nigerian state manipulation. If these igbos decide to remain where they are if given a choice, I will 100% support their decision.

Notice the same questionable pattern between Ebonyi state borders and cross rivers. Who did these maps? They need to be taken to either a mental hospital or to hell fire just be being unnecessarily wicked.

Look at the border of anambra an kogi.
Who decided to draw that straight line. God save us Africans from our myopic thinking. I even see a place with igbo name above anambra.

The one that pains me the most is the Benue Ebonyi border where over 1 million Igbos and their ancestral lands were carved into Benue. Obi local government in Benue is Igbo territory

horsepower102:
This is the boundaries between rivers, imo and Abia state

So what happened to the boundary line now. Did they remove anything from it. If yes show us the 1st edition of the British map.

You are not a cartographer and you are busy spewing thrash.

That an obvious lie, how many is the population of Benue to begin with.

It obvious you didn't do geography. When it comes to boundary demarcation, natural boundary such as lake,rivers, seas and mountain range are not divided to suit the drawer. Go check Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina borders.

The British did not create the states. It was GOWON and his collaborators that started state creation. This is an easily verifiable fact.

Go and check the provincial map of those area under the British rule. Gowon only gave it a new name. E.g kwara state has always been in the north region. Same with delta and Edo under the west.
