Those who will come here to brag about the landmass of their states should know that huge Landmass is not an achievement neither does it transcend to development. Countries like Switzerland, Singapore, Netherlands, DR Congo, Sudan and Chad continue to prove this point.

Ok

What countries like Switzerland, Singapore, Netherlands, DR Congo, Sudan and Chad teached us is that Landmass does not transcend to development

HMMMMMMMMM

LAND IS TREASURE IN NIGERIA .
GO AND CHECK NO LAND IS USELESS.
ONLY THAT WE ARE YET TO EXPLOIT IT.
NIGERIA IS TOO BLESSED WHEN IT COMES TO MINERAL RESOURCES.

WE ONLY SLEEP AND ALLOW DANGOTE AND BUA TAKE ADVANTAGE

the larger states are the only places you hear having food scarcity

So the entire south east is smaller than kogi, and they are looking for country?
I laugh in greek.

South east has been scamming Nigeria government by giving them 5 states with 5 different allocations.

South east shouldn't be more than 2 states

Buh truth be told, Niger big Abeq.
Some natives don't even know the beginning and end of their local governments.

South east should also be the most developed region with their little landmass.

How many roads they wan construct for that place.
Reasons why they build storey buildings.

Anambra + Enugu + Abia + Imo + Ebonyi = 29,525KM²

Oyo = 28, 454km²

SE is very much developed compared to the browny region

Anambra + Enugu + Abia + Imo + Ebonyi + All lands purchased by Igbos in Nigeria= 189,525KM²*

Tell them

Sammy07:
Anambra + Enugu + Abia + Imo + Ebonyi = 29,525KM²

Oyo = 28, 454km²

Bro the truth be told, what is the productivity of those big states.

Majority of those States are big for nothing bro. By the time they do censors, animals will be counted with the human beings there.

Ab

The whole of the southwest fits inside Niger plus small change

And the Igbos will carry the land to south east?

Abi you've forgotten it's certificate of occupancy.

Sammy07:

All lands every in Nigeria is certificate of occupancy, including your family house

I don't like commenting on this kind of thread but on a second note, I think it's a good avenue to advise fellow Nigerians.

It's good to brag about what you have. it's part of human nature but when you are alone, do you think what you have is enough and helping you? Let's tone down the hate and dick-measuring.

Now we are arguing about land mass instead of calling for development. Even the places where crude oil is in abundance and with less landmass isn't well developed. With the recent findings about the NCDC and the monies mentioned one can only imagine the achievement Nigeria would attain if the money was used the right way.

So much landmass and Nigeria is still a hungry place. Imagine what agriculture could do

We already know!

If your state happen to be big, you yourself will still come here to brag. Kindly allow others to do their bragging.

FYI, in Nigeria, especially on social media, we brag about anything in our favour, whether relevant or not.

They are not taking anything, a time is coming when those places will be declared part of south east.

Lol, if the northern are wise, they can use if for motor sports.

Size is on indicator of a countries pontenial for ecnomic growth. Nigeria has a total landmass of

Lol.......wasere

Or cow competitions

Size is no indicator of a nations economic potential. The total land mass of Nigeira is 923,768 km² and our 2019 GDP is estimated at $446.543 billion. The total land mass of The Netherlands is 41,543 km² (less than 10% the size of Nigeira) and their 2019 GDP was $902.355 billion, more than double that of Nigeira.

But why are niger areans afraid of Igbos going with their tiny land.






Even those with highest Igp are afraid to stand on their own as a country

Lol, so sokoto or ekiti will be declared south east?
Lol, keep buying the land.

At least, they will keep developing.
