Where's the popular Apa state David Mark has been doing Benue people Yahoo about? Idoma people sorry oo...

Trying hard to cover their incompetence and cluelessness.
Cucuma ungrade the current local goverent areas in Nigeria to state status.
Crazy people

why dont we just make every Local government a state?

Sometimes I wonder if this people have sense at all. Or is age inversely proportional to sense .
The only thing that may slightly work again is regional government\confederalism. But best option is division of Nigeria

Regional government cannot work ... better to split naija than do regional government

That’s because Nigeria is like a gun …Something is always shooting.

Stupid senate, Stupid committee

Comedians...only three states are economically viable as of now, and you want to create 20 more states!

From Day 1 in 2005, Njaba State between Imo West and Anambra south sen zones, or in Imo West alone, has been the proposal agreed by the National Assembly to be created as 6th state in the southeast in order to have a fair distribution of states in the six geopolitical zones.

Economy is bad the naira is almost useless no electricity badroad ASUU/ Doctors striking like thunder at any time no one is safe unnecessary killings all over the country but what's our leaders are after their own pocket how can we move forward if we continue like this?! Nigeria need leaders with passion Vision to make NIGERIA Great! Not novice!!!

They shouldn’t stop at that, let them go further to create additional 10 countries out of Nigeria. Rubbish

this is no doubt a system of restructuring the country in a way. However, the security architecture also needs to be drastically rejigged

The senseless senate . Who swear 4 dis country. The existing state are struggling to survive and dis irresponsible set of fools want to create another avenue to waste and embezzle money that is already scarce thereby creating empty portfolio for lazy people like them

God have mercy on our nation.

In the midst of these mess, na creation of states Nigerian senate dey focus on.

They are just there for nothing only to wear Agbada,Babariga And Obidike cap to extort innocent Nigerians through the tax payers money to pay themselves ungodly salaries common sense is far a way from those Mutula Bangali Senators u dont need any creation of state to keep wasting the money we dont have just switch Benue to southeast east to balance the equation i.e 6 states each region and revenue shall be share by region not by local government where majority of the local government located in the North

I fully endorse the creation of several more States to close up a lot of ungoverned spaces in Nigeria. Take for instance, Kogi State, I don't know why Igala land cannot be a State with their own Governor , same for Ebira and Okun. Kaduna is naturally divided into two, why not Gurara State for Southern Kaduna Christians they own Kaduna city, while Zaria becomes capital of Kaduna for the predominantly Muslim Northern Kaduna. In Delta, why can't the Delta Igbos have their own Anioma State and included as a State in the South East with their ibo brothers while Warri becomes the Capital of Urohbo, Isoko, Ijaw brother as Delta State. In Enugu why not give the Nsukka people Adada State while the Nkanus and their close brothers Wawa's share the remaining Enugu with the capital where it is today. Why can't Benin become the State for Binis run by only Binis while Affemai and his brother Esan get their own state with capital in let's say Ekpoma or Auchi. TIV's need to have their State with capital at Gboko, while the rest take remaining with Markudi as Capital. State creation brings rapid development. People who lived in Asaba, Ado Ekiti, Osogbo, Abakalii, Gusua, Lafia etc would remember how under developed their cities were until God used IBB/Abacha to make it Capital of their new State. state creation opens up new cities and new opportunities, new schools, new businesses. 36 States is too small for 200 million people. American has 50 States all surviving on their own with the industry of the people.

If there was no mention of Apa state from the current Tiv-infested Benue state, then it's dead on arrival!

More Northern states... Amadioha strike these people. Why not balance it up, instead they keep fueling causes of agitation from the SouthEast.

In simple term, RESTRUCTURE the country

Bolded is supported by reasonable people in Nigeria.


Anything to make Orlu area out of present Imo state is highly welcome.

Because Orlu area opened the demand (Njaba state) for new states in the southeast before the NASS in 2005, Orlu area has been denied everything development by rest of Imo state, with anticipation for a new state that will carve out Orlu (Imo West Senatorial district) area from present Imo state.

Everything in Imo state is in Owerri state capital where people from the area covet every government development infrastructure.

Fantastic complex compound problem. We gon just keep rolling until something stops us. No more sanity

Leave them. Their only goal was to create more Northern states so more resources can be channelled to the North. Nigeria will always be divided because of the mentality of our politicians. I sorry for them because more MNK and Igboho will soon arise from other regions. Nigeria is already hopeless as it is.

State creation is a scam. Let us go back to the regional system. Even if you create more states, you've only created more nuisance, more idiots waiting for Aso rock to send allocation to run their states. Monies that will mostly be diverted to personal pockets. Monies that Aso Rock borrowed o. In the end no industries, no job and our national debt doubled.

Who caused the black man?

With this recession?

More states when restructuring is the way to go. If a state is not productive, it should merge with another state. Creating more states will not solve any problem, it will only add burden to the burdened state.

Even in the nonsense proposal I didn’t see a thing carved out from cross River state that Stands amongst the biggest and largest states in the country , what a joke �

I support the creation of okun state from kogi and kwara and southern kaduna state from kaduna.

In bolde.

People in areas feeling comfortable in their present states will not agree to return to regional government system.

For example, tell Abakaliki or Owerri man to vote for return to regional government system with Enugu as capital, he will tell you - Never.

The same shall obtain in the SW region where people clamor more for return to regional government system.

Your fears about possible misuse of creation of new states to create more states in the north is in order. I think the 2014 CONFAB recommendations on new states are here.

What is in Nigeria that we just want to milk it dry and scatter it.
20 new states
I first thought I read they wanted to merge it to 20 states

I wonder why apa state is not on that list?

LoL!!

20 parasitic entities to further burden the federal government

Some states should be scrapped and we feel we should create more?

20 more governors with the structures that come with this...

60 more senators and many more representathieves...

Whatever!!!
