Then you don't know Nigeria. So what happened to Anambra, Imo, Ekiti, Abia, Osun, Ebonyi, Enugu, Akwa Ibom and FCT?

Are those states including FCT bigger than Bayelsa?

Obio-Akpor is not the biggest LGA in Rivers to start with, not to talk of Nigeria.

Yes, Osun is among the smallest states in Nigeria and it's smaller than Bayelsa. You claim to know, but it's quite obvious you know nothing.
