Proposed states are:

Igboezue, Adada, Aba, Njaba, Orlu, Orimili, and Orashi (South East);

Anioma, Oil Rivers, Ogoja, Afemaiesan, Toru-Ebe and New Delta (South South);

Oduduwa, Ijebu, Ibadan, New Oyo, Oke-Ogun (South West);

Apa, Idoma, Edu, Okun, Oya (North Central); Amana and Savannah, Katagum (North East);

and Gurara (North West).

The framers of the constitution are conscious of the possible agitation and so the procedure was deliberately complicated. The constitutional requirements for creating a new state are as follows:

According to the 1999 Constitution, to create a new state requires that such creation be supported by at least two-third of members (representing the area demanding the creation of the new state) in the Senate, House of Representatives, the House of Assembly in respect of the area and the local government councils in respect of the area that the state will be created in. That is not all; a referendum on the new state must be approved by two-third of the people in the area where the state is to be created and the result of the referendum approved by a simple majority of all the 36 states of Nigeria supported by a simple majority of members of the Houses of Assembly. After all these stages have been completed, the state is then approved by a resolution passed by two-third majority of members of the Senate and House of Representatives.

But part of the criteria used in the past for a state to be created included the economic viability of the area demanding the new state, especially the ability and potentials for sustainable internal revenue generation, provable cases of demographic strength and underdevelopment arising from denial of access to human development; provable evidence of socio-cultural affinity and geographical contiguity; the need to redress lopsided cartography and boundary lines resulting in endless border and resource-based conflicts; provable instance of consensus among the demographic groups demanding the new states.

Others included the ability of the new states to provide their structure and resources to take off; ability to ensure internal security and cohesion and peaceful co-existence with their neighbours and the existence of human resource and personnel to run the state

They're almost equal. Infact before the world wars, Germany language was spoken largely in the US. They stopped because of discrimination and backlash having caused the world wars

DMerciful:
Check your link very well. Germans are the highest as shown

StreetFight:
Truly. The ran away instead of announcing election results. Useless nincompoop

ZekeYeager:
Of course because as an anonymous coward who is hiding behind the invisibility cloak of Nairaland, you are a thousand times braver than Humphrey Nwosu. If it were you, you would have stood up to a ruthless, bloodthirsty military dictator all by yourself

43Ronin:
You are inconsequential. You will die and nobody will know your name. Hater. You will never be in the history books of Nigeria. You will fade away like the statistics that you are like millions of other political praise-singers and worshippers

Racoon:
-Prof Humphrey Nwose damned General Babangida to conduct and even started releasing the June 12 1993 presidential election results until a presidential fiat with contemptuous Court judgements were used to ground that electoral process to a halt.
-Allen Onyema was busy freighting COVID-19 reliefs while Nigeria have no national carrier.

MrEverest:
The other one claiming Ikwere on twitter has been busted, Tinubu the useless drug lord has resurrected another fake person to continue pushing his bigotry. The useless drug lord knows he has failed Nigerians and needs something to distract them with😂

MrEverest:
The Fulanis that have grabbed your lands physically and sodomized your people, do you mention them?

How many lands have Igbos dragged anywhere in Nigeria? All the mansions and plazas Igbos built around Nigeria, they bought all with their money.

Stop envying people that are far greater than whatever inconsequential and unknown ethnicity you come from😂

DMerciful:
The rest of Nigeria are complaining about the Igbos but when the Igbos left, they killed millions to force them into Nigeria.

You gonna have to deal with the Igbos!

The Yoruba have a Proverb that says if you throw Stones into the Market sometimes it can hit your Relative

So one of the Slain Soldiers was from the same Village as Governor Alex Otti ?

OfoIgbo:
I noticed that no real Lagosian is in that list of governors.

Sanwoolu is not originally from Lagos state.

That is exactly what real Lagosians are alluding to.

2Radii:
