As a student of Geography, I have been looking at the map of Nigeria since morning.

I am wondering why Taraba state is referred to as a north eastern state.

Looking at the location on the Nigerian map.

I have placed its coordinates on the map and all, studied its climatic features, the people and the topography.

I am still trying to process it.

Perhaps the location was determined politically?

What do you think?

Judging from its location on the map, if FCT-Abuja, Jos-Plateau, Nasarawa and Benue States are central, why's Taraba an exception?

So you didn’t wonder why Abia State is in the South East while Cross River and Edo States are in the South south?

I do also.

I did also. I think the National Assembly need to review these things.

I think Nigeria needs resetting.

Don't worry the problem would soon be resolved. Edo and Warriors to join Oodu as for Tarsba join Biafra or your playmates.

Oodua ni mi.

Omoluabi no mi

Welcome Black race foremost nation.

In other important news, 1 dollar is equivalent to 600 naira, at this pace very soon a dollar will receive 1k naira. God forbid

To help answer your question, what we have in Nigeria is termed Geo-political zones as against strictly geographical zones.

For example, Kwara is geographically south west but geo-politically North central. Cross rivers should be south east geographical but is termed part of the South South. All the South Eastern states are geographically South Central or South South.
