In as much as I don't bash this incumbent administration and it's previous, I can tell you for free that this is a foolish decision to create more state. This is a no brainer at all, how will you intelligently make such decisions.

Now I know this one's are all colossal and monumental failure at governance, you have highlighted that the current 36 states only 4 is viable economically, how about other states ?. And yet you are willing to create more, wonderfully stupid ideology I must say.

Is not yet time we stop all this shenanigans, pause and re structure this zoo we call Nigeria.

That no election must hold not until we restructure this country before 2023, the youth are the ones that can savage this country from this rogues call leaders in wolf clothing. Yet the youth are no where to be found, they are busy chasing fast life and money.

However, join politics join politics, they won't listen. Since 1960 this fellows have held Nigeria to a jugular. Don't you all think it's high time we tell them that what we need now is to restructure by the means of bottom to the top approach, then plug the lapses within the security ministries.

The problem of Nigeria are Nigerian's and her solutions is right here in Nigeria. if you know you know.

Divide Nigeria now.

Yeah
I am happy ooh
I may be the next governor of my new state
Can we imagine the new opportunities it comes with. I agree

Most of those criticising the Reps or Senators don't even understand that the proposal isn't pushed by them but Nigerians who are very stupid for always asking for state creation rather than internal solution. This proposal is born out of marginalisation by many states to some section of their zones and ethno-religious complexities. Many people ask for constitutional amendment and this proposal seems to be another disturbing issues atsine quotas of the country.

I no see ikorodu state there.... Make una help me check

We don’t need 20 more states. At best, let’s create two more states in the south to push southern states to 19 just like the north. Listing of local governments in the constitution is what we need to do away with. States should be at liberty to create local governments based on their financial capacity and needs.

Na lie.new states should not be created and lgas must totally be free from state control

Make this country just break up jor..


Awon weyrey gbogbo

Smh

this one will just make me give up on reciting "states and capital" Anyways thatz what we get when fools are in power. They suppose divide or restructure the kantree instead

Blah blah blah blah!! Nna ehn!!!

All this rigmarole is intentional. Simply to distract the people from real issues.
Simple.

Seems politics is the only booming business in Nigeria

Oh my gosh. I have never seen such foolishness in my life.

I'd like to see the senate concentrate of security, crime, improving infrastructure, and supplying 24/7 electric power before investing time and effort into this nonsense.

If you pike split everything to 1000 states, Nigeria will never be ok. Yoruba nation loading......!

Abdullah36:
What a misplaced priority

The already existing states are not economically viable, apart from Lagos and Rivers states, then they want to create more states, where will the resources needed to run those states come from ? Smh

What about insecurity and bad economy? Are they going to ever debate on that..

end1999constitu:
They should go and sit down to restructure/split this continent called Nigeria into pieces.....

Is that the best you have to offer? Failure.

whodeyhere:
Even Ijebu people wants to leave Ogun state, would propose they support Ibadan to get a state and they merge with Ibadan as part of Ibadan state because more than half of the Ijebu people are already living in Ibadan...

What happened to Utopia Oduduwa?

iamyemiakins:
We have unserious elements as Senators in this country.

How that big Niger state didn't make the list amaze me, IBB sef!

I'm shocked to my bone marrow. Niger state needs to be split into at least 3 or more states considering its present size. Imagine small Kano has 2 more states. What the hell are they smoking over there?

Another divide and rule tactics from fulani government to create more minorities and less majority states in the south so that they won't demand the distegration of nigeria for fear of being rule by the majority states.

Those 36 states created....are all financially viable? No....then you want to join another 20 states in the name of restructuring...
Aboki people know the main topics for the southerners to speak on in the house of assembly but they will never allow you to speak of them....because it will make them not to be parasites anymore...
I dare them to speak on the indigenization of resource control or referendum on separation. ...
All these charade topics will make Nigeria more impoverish than it is now...

In order.

Two more states in the south - one in the southeast, from Imo or Anambra state to be precise; another in Oyo zone in Oyo state.

Local government areas need to be delisted from the constitution as federating units, let every state create its local government areas.

Anoima has actually been requesting for their own state. I just wish they could just split the country. Na to go learn state and capital again

Where is lagoon state?

Merge your own non viable state to nearby viable state in order to save money for Nigeria.

They want to use creation of states douse insecurity tension in the country, if they ask; I will say neither are they cost conscious nor considerate with the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

Our 9ja leaders are seriously misleading us into darkness more and more...

The only idea this useless hausa Fulani parasites will ever have
