More years of wailing for you people. Slow it down now and reserve it for the longer years

Ebubu:
Pettiness is allowed in politics. In USA the Democrats and Republicans are also very petty.

Both of them are not holy. They would rather exposed their own yansh. Better for them to stop that pettiness early

Kindered:
here we go again, Tinubu lapdog

Hypocrisy slap your face there. So if you guys dey troll others, una no dey remember the table can turn around bah?

His supporters would rather attack, Insult or try to derail the thread. Just wait for it

They should both grow up and stop the pettiness

What are you also hiding from your partner.

Normally a better partner won't pokenose into your phone affairs but that doesn't mean he/she can't have an access to it

gidgiddy:
Unfortunately, a country that runs such double standards is already doomed. Its a country that will be fighting with self forever, which is why the sooner we Igbos exit Nigeria as an independent country, the better for all

Hahahah, minority will always have their say while the majority will definitely have their way.

Politically in Nigeria, your region no get level

Omowale2023:
Rigging didn't start in 2023. Which ones? APGA? Am not sure he did, if not, he won't contest under the party. Remember he was in APGA, not PDP, Chris Nigege did primaries in his own party in PDP, am not sure Obi ever did, he was hand picked by Ojokuwu. So it's something his already used too(Not going for primaries) And I don't think that is an issue actually. The real question is "Can you deliver when elected?"

So which kind of a politician is he that's running away from any party primary?

gidgiddy:
Well, the politicians didn't have to be involved before government released the terrorists below, sowed Green white clothes for them, hosted under canopy before arranging their transport back home.

The other ones were called for peace talk

Would they have been released without their politicians playing some part ? that's why it's good for a region to be political relevant

That's money laundering. He should have declared the money

SadiqBabaSani:
focus on the subject matter which is that Borrowing for recurrrent purposes and phoney capital projects is going to destroy the country’s economy

I should focus on inaccurate data. Why should I do that when it's not that I stopped reasoning things logically

When the politicians from South East who are frustrating the release of Kanu are ready to free him, he will get the freedom easily

Ai replies------1. Ibadan the city

When people say “Ibadan,” they usually mean the metropolitan city — the capital of Oyo State.
That urban area covers about 3,000 km² (some sources say up to 3,200 km², including suburbs).

So yes, Ibadan is one of the largest cities in West Africa by land area, even bigger than Lagos city in sheer physical size.

But…

🗺️ 2. The Southeast region

The entire Southeast geopolitical zone (Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States) covers roughly 29,000–32,000 km² combined.

That’s ten times larger than Ibadan’s total land area.

✅ So, to answer directly:

No — Ibadan is not larger than the Southeast region in land area.
It’s just the largest single city in Nigeria (and West Africa) in terms of urban spread, not total landmass compared to regions or states.




There’s no single town in Nigeria that’s physically bigger than the entire Southeast region — that would be impossible. But if we’re talking about local government areas (LGAs), then yes, some LGAs in Nigeria are larger than the entire landmass of the Southeast combined.

Let’s break it down a bit 👇

📍 First, the Southeast landmass

The Southeast geopolitical zone (Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo) has a combined land area of roughly 29,000–32,000 square kilometers — depending on which official data you reference.

📍 Now, compare that to some huge LGAs:

Borgu LGA (Niger State) — about 11,000 km²

Agwara LGA (Niger State) — about 10,000 km²

Mai’adua LGA (Katsina State) — about 8,000 km²

Mariga LGA (Niger State) — about 6,000–7,000 km²

But the real giants are in Borno State:

Bade LGA or Ngala LGA — both are extremely large.

Bama LGA — roughly 8,000–10,000 km².

Askira/Uba, Kukawa, Guzamala, and others cover vast areas that collectively dwarf small states.

However, no single LGA is larger than the entire Southeast.
But here’s the crazy part:
👉 The Niger State alone, with an area of about 76,000 km², is over twice the size of the entire Southeast region.
So one state (not even a region) is much bigger than the Southeast.

In short:

No town in Nigeria is bigger than the Southeast.

No single LGA is bigger either.

But some states, like Niger, Borno, and Taraba, are two to three times larger than the entire Southeast landmass.

Read and comprehend. You wasted your time asking AI inconsequential question

Anyone still taking Yele and the election loser supporters serious is not serious himself

Why are you giving us belated statistics when we are in October. How about July, August reports m

You people should forget about having light for months

Seun should actually do something about it. There are currently two pages doing that consistently on this forum.

Raph82:
U're contradicting yourself, U said the Southeast is slightly bigger than Oyo state, Is Ibadan not inside Oyo State?

It's not my problem that you are unable to read and comprehend

REDshouse:
you are wrong.. it slightly bigger than Ibadan not oyo state

You are the one who is wrong here. South East as a region is bigger than Oyo state slightly. Ibadan is a city in Oyo state

Omowale2023:
You might be right. But why participate in a primary rigged with bribery and corruption before it starts?.

We all know how major political parties in Nigeria dollariez their primaries, so why bother?

Some people aren't built for that kind of a thing. It's a reason why you don't see successful business men run for elective posts in Nigeria. It's just common logic. And as Nigerians, we aren't ready for that kind of deep intellectual discussion.

The question is, did rigging and bribery during election started in 2023?

I reserved so many opinions above, how did Peter Obi able to get all those party tickets without bribery?

NC people are being specially treated by this government. It get why
