EVILFOREST:

The entire NIGERIAN Nation which you claim is BIG is SMALL my Brother.
CALIFORNIA State in the United states is Half the size of the entire Nigerian Federation.

TEXAS is 2/3rd the size of the entire Nigeria.
ALASKA is bigger than Nigeria+Benin+Togo+Ghana all put together.
These are just 3 STATES ooooo
Yet our Population in Nigeria is chasing that of the United States with the speed of Light.
That's the only DEVELOPMENT we are good at grin grin grin grin

No doubt the entire SOUTHEAST is small but it's 2 times bigger than Jamaica. grin grin.
QUESTION of the DAY:
Now if it's really small, why does the Nigerian Government find it difficult ceding such a small portion to self actualisation with territorial integrity, if they could easily cede a small Bakassi..?

For your question in your last paragraph, Nigeria and in fact the whole of West Africa cannot afford to allow an Independent drug trafficking nation like Mexico around our borders.

Biafrans can get their land far away from West Africa and move there.

sometimes when i sit down i use to wonder where we got our population from, are these people really a Nigerian,
NIGERIA has got a very high Fecundity, Fertility and Birth Rate. That's the Reason.
There is hardly any NIGERIAN CITY you would pass through without a major HOLD UP.

What exactly is this information supposed to convey?

That Nigeria is territorially and predominantly northern Nigeria.

Bitter truth.

Land mass is one economic mass is another...

But Niger State is enough to stand as a country with a huge land mass grin

Lagos state has the least land mass but is enough to sponsor the whole Nigeria budget as small as it is the billions or trillions coming out from there will develop the whole land mass of all Nigeria if there is no corruption.


And yet poverty, penury, gross under development, infrastructural deficit and corruption are the greatest shining lights

For the sake of clarity on population density these are Imo/Anambra boundary, Lagis/Ogun boundary, Oyo/Kwara boundary and Niger/Kwara boundary.

Unfortunately land mass is not one of determinants in actualization of a country. The bolded is a misconception of elementary level. Lagos will collapse if Nigeria disintegrates.



I don't think so. Lagos is coastal area that has enjoyed alots of investment from the Federal Government. Lagos has deep seaport, which will encourage international trade. Badagry is another location for another big seaport.

Lagos has it own crude oil. So i dont think Lagos will disintegrate.

South-West in general will grow very fast, if we split. We have oil in Ondo and Lagos. We have the seaport to export the oil. We have the refinary (Dangote refinery) to refine the oil. The facility can not be moved. Other South-West states has land for agriculture.

South-West will develop very rapidly.

The entire Nigeria is not as big as the state of Texas in America

Japan is a small country but the second richest country in the world.

Switzerland is the size of Abia and Enugu states combined but has a bigger GDP than Nigeria

It is never about the size of your land, its all about what you can do with what you have

The funny things is that even how small the east is there's still excess of empty land there not to talk of the orobo state in the north.. We need to start making use of all those empty lands.
