A Closer Look At The Six Geopolitical Zones On Nigeria Map by Omobude244: 11:16am On Nov 12, 2023
Whoever divided Nigeria into North and South like this, lacks basic geography
How can the entire southern Nigeria not even equal to a single geopolitical zone in the north in terms of landmass?
The North central is bigger than the entire Southern Nigeria in terms of landmass.
The North East is bigger than the entire Southern Nigeria.
The North West is bigger than the entire Southern Nigeria
This is the reason the North will always claim superiority over the South.
Most of the states in North central is supposed to be part of southern Nigeria.
Kwara, kogi, Edo is supposed to be part of SW
Delta, benue, rivers, cross rivers, Akwa ibom, bayelsa and some part of nasarawa are supposed to be added to the south east zone
There was no reason for the creation of NC and SE
The remaining north central states should have joined north west or north east
Whoever carved out South East and excluded cross river and RIVERS states from SE is an evil person

We were supposed to have 4 geopolitical zones namely; South west and South east from the Southern part and North East and North West from the northern part, not 6 zones

Nigeria was designed to fail from the onset and there is nothing we can do about it

Rest. It's not by landmass nor by number but instead what you're producing with the landmass and the number.

So u failed to identify the wailing Biafra intentions? His annoyance is not adding states that share ocean view to his landlocked south east. He started it with shifting attention to the north before landing to his main point.

When I hear Yoruba boasting the Oyo is the equivalent SE in landmass I will be laughing. Is NE not the equivalent of the entire South? What has big for nothing landmass got to do with anything?

This was done mostly to reduce the igbo's both in land mass and population, half of igbo communities are in Rivers state, Delta, Cross River etc.

And this is why ikwerre people are doing any how here in Rivers state, because their brothers from upland adds to their numbers.

You might be the offspring of those Reno's father used as slaves. He said their offsprings live in Edo after liberation and they answer a mixture of Igbo and Edos name.

I partly agree with you, but I think the whole of NC should not be in the southern part. Anything above the Niger-Benue trough be in the North, below that, should be in the South. Nature has partitioned the thing itself.

Thank you.

I thought I was the only one seeing this. People will be using the Central zone to claim that the North is bigger than the South. Make it purely a Central Zone, not north-central, most of those states have nothing to do with north or south or better still like you mentioned, they join with either the south(Kogi, Kwara, Benue)or the north(Niger, Nassarawa, Plateau, Taraba).

Nothing bad about the map ,

It’s a geopolitical/ethnic map

My only argument is why are Igbo communities in Rivers, Delta, etc not simultaneously added to SE

Why is SE having just 5 states while the rest zones has 6 to 7 states ??

What's this one blabbing? I have no concerns as to whatever the South East decides to do with their region, but nobody should start lumping any South South states into any unholy matrimony. Cross River is not an Igbo state and nobody should be unfortunate enough to suggest otherwise.

It's how you're not locked up in a psychiatric ward that quite enthuses me.

Because you have to be unstable in the head to vomit this kind of lethargic buffoonery. If you people want to continue your macabre dance of resplendent idiocy in the name of a course that clearly has no positives, be just as nice to exclude States in the South South from your sordid display of stupidity.

Do whatever pleases you with your South East states, but don't be such a blathering boob while laying claims to states in other people's region. Madness is evidently in your lineage.

Anu mpama!

Your fellow Igbo clown started a foooolish thread and now you want to make it about Ikwerre people and some imaginary ‘brothers from upland’

Ikwerre and other minority ethnic groups in the dead eastern region told the British government before independence and the Federal/Regional government after independence, that they didn’t want to remain in the same region with Igbo people.

They agitated to be separated from Igbo people and it was the agitation that led to the creation of the Old Rivers and Cross Rivers States. No one just woke up over night to separate them. They agitated for it and are happy that Gowon finally caved in to their demands. it remains irreversible so your wailing will last for a long time.

And?

SS and SE are seen as one by fulanis and majority of Yorubas
So why are u crying ?🤣
2015 election, we all saw how GEJ was constantly tagged igbo by yorubas and hausas. Suddenly, u now want to separate us😁
If GEJ can be tagged igbo, who am i😋
The new fake love u are claiming to have for us is because u are not happy we see the igbos as family far more than the SW
Na that one dey vex una😂
Igbos supported GEJ 100% and u think we will leave them to aligned with those that betrayed us in 2015🤣

Enjoy ur hatred

Peace 😁

@op, this is how you would've created another problem if giving the opportunity to be in charge of true federalism.

The current 6 geo- political zones should be left untouch, any attempt to bring different ethnic groups together again will only amount to what we are currently facing.

Let people of the same kind, ideology, tradition, lineage and cultural background tailor the affairs of their people. That is the only way you can achieve tremendous development. Every developed country is usually homogeneous society where at least 90% of them will have same background and speak same language.

The Midwest (Benin and Delta provinces) used to be Western region till Azikiwe (SE) in connivance with Bello and Balewa (North) created the Midwest.

Ekwueme(SE) also helped Abacha (North) create the South South. The Eastern region and the Western region would have atleast been bigger in landmass if not for those divisions.

To add more context to reflect present day Nigeria, the South South Region was created from both the Western and Eastern regions of Nigeria in 1997 through the recommendation of Alex Ekwueme panel, by the regime of General Sani Abacha. Edo, Delta, one quarter of Bayelsa and the Ndoni section of Rivers states from the old Western region, while three quarter of Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross river states were from the old Eastern region.
