Bringing our people together!!!

They can divide us;for exploitation ;they can marginalize us;for exploitation.
They can use our politicians; in bed with them; to kill us ;
We know who we are? We are not ;only indigenous; in 5 states ;but 11 states.
Every state creation done; in Nigeria is to divide us;join Ndigbo with other tribes to minimize our federal effects ;and benefits.

The mother of the late Samuel Odaigbovo Ogbemudia is Igbanke!
Most indigenes of this town just like Ika people bear hybrid names that most often could just jolly well pass as EDO because of their names like Nduka Irabor, Jim Ovia, Omorogie Nwawanne, Collins Edumaruse etc.

The Igbo found in Benue are: Umuezeokoha, Umuezeoka, Oriuzor, Umuoghara, Amaekka and Amaezekwe all in Ezza communities, Izzi, Ezzamgbo and Effium, these are the people who would have been in present-day Ebonyi State but due to the fact that the Nigerian government then carved them into Benue in order to suppress the population of the East.

Apart from the Ezza-speaking clan, particularly the people of Umuezeokoha that has over 300 villages, if you are to calculate the number of Igbo-speaking villages in Benue State, outside Umuezeokaoha, you would be talking altogether about over 600 villages.

Three of the biggest markets in Benue are all in the Igbo-speaking part. The markets are Inikiri Ichari, Iddah, Iduokpe. There are also some Igbo speaking Idoma towns in Benue State.
.

Me: Let's talk about this...have you been to these places and did you observe Igbo culture and language particularly in places on the list which exist outside the Southeast?

Add all this together taraba is still bigger than it. State creation is not done to Be equal nowhere is such done even in India and Brazil. We continue to make noise about marginalization. If we are sincere to our selves the population of all the south East is equivalent to Ogun and Lagos population yet the 2 state has just 40 LGA, 6 senate seats while the south East has 99 LGA and 15 seats. We just like deceiving ourselves.

Your not Igbo; dont even try ; Youve been spotted ;via your intellectual capability ;The message is for my Igbo brothers ;and sisters only.

Move on bro;

Igbo people of Nigeria were ranked as the most intelligent tribe of black Africa in a US academic report in 2015.

Shut the F Mr man. You've been in the Senate, why can't you move for this? Other than emotionally blackmail the people.

The empty barrel that makes the most noise.

You are on every political thread yet you are ignorant of the fact that allocation is based on population not size.

Why am I not surprised?

I Haven't yet come across an APC online urchin that I could even consider to be brilliant.

LeoDeKing:

And since there are 5 states in that zone, they get averagely 5 times fed allocation as much as Niger state, yet ordinary road they can't build, no infrastructure. I still wonder what their govs do with fed allocation.

Lagos is more populated than the entire South East region.. does it mean we should carve out 2 more states from Lagos?

Akponmfet:
These useless Biafra people that can't even manage 5 states,now they want more states so they can collect more federal allocation which comes from the resources of the Niger Delta.
These Biafra people contribute absolutely nothing to the economy of Nigeria but they want everything, they want to be president, they want more states,they even want Biafra.
Please give the idiots their DOT NATION so we can use our resources for better things.
Useless parasites, everyday they want this,want that but they contribute only armed robbery to Nigeria.
Criminals.

SW and SS people need to start pushing for restructuring and resource control by regions else Igbos won't stop this 6th state for SE nonsese..

Oyo state is equivalent to the entire SE region in terms of size, even more populated than the whole of SE yet our people don't clamour for creation of 4 extra states to make it 5.

Lagos (ilu Eko) is more populated than the entire SE region but we don't push for additional states so why are Igbos that contribute nothing to govt. coffers demanding for an additional state? The ones they have, how are they managing them??

As deputy Senate president to Saraki, rather than exploit that opportunity of influence to sponsor a bill to that end and lobby Saraki to do all his humanly possible best to float the bill and see it through, he wasted all the time aiding Saraki in fighting the executive arm of government not even for any people oriented reason. Now that the opportunity and influence is out of his hands, he suddenly remembers his SE region needs an extra state. Clown!

jumper524:
remain small??
bros Nigerstate is almost *3 of south east.

Empty and barren Niger State.

JosephXavier:
These people masking noise about South East states fitting into one state in North, it is about capacity and capability

Borno is bigger the while UK but what do they have to show for it?

Even Sokoto is far bigger than Lagos but what do they do with the land mass

What they have is just empty barren land

Same with Zamfara, Katsina and Jigawa. Useless, empty, infertile and barren landmass.

Quite obvious he has nothing to offer, Useless Ekwerenmadu, they should have disgraced him more when his brothers man handled him on the streets of Frankfurt.

Ekwerenmadu is a Mumu trying to fool other mumus in 2022?

CyynthiaKiss:
For the purpose of audience..

State Creation and constituencies are done based on the population on ground and not by land mass.. This is why Lagos State despite being the smallest state in Nigeria by land mass has one of the highest reps member at the green chamber... While that of Niger and Taraba state depite having the second highest land mass in Nigeria has the least members in the aformentioned place..

The same thing is applicable to state creation..
Its done by the population not the land mass... Anambra state today is more populated than Niger State but Niger State is four times bigger than Anambra State...

See how hate has destroyed the psyche of ignorant clowns above me, displaying their lack of exposure and understanding of Politics..

Every clown wants to have a say on nairaland politics section


It's a Pity...

Niger is just 4 times bigger than Anambra you said
Popular is not the only phantom when creating a state. When creating a new stars Land mass is also a big issue considered plus economic, ethnicity and geographical location.
Where will the new state be curve out from the south east

No part of Anambra should be affected in your so called quest for extra State in the South east

That must be Adada state.....

Say the trash you wanna say...

Nonsense statement!
So in a quarter to,you are just cruising all this years with Nigeria and the South East.
This statement cannot truely come from your heart but from your lips,just to allow your people elect you back,which you have been doing for years!
Oga, carry on with your deceitful statement!
Food is ready for 2023- you will be elected back.South East needs people like you,biko!

Anioma should be the state under consideration

Bye.

all the south east States, that can't reach the population of the local government in kano, but I am wonder where these politicians of the south east are putting their allocation.

This mad man just got back to his senses.
He was deputy senate president for some years at a favourable time when his brother Jobathan was the president.
He could neither raised the issue nor influenced it but now that he is out of power he want an imaginary sixth eastern state. Mad man

Why is Sen.Ekweremadu just waking up now? It is the same game when elections are coming..The Saving grace for this country is that the People are now wiser and hopefully we will do the needful by shoving aside these misleaders at the polls soon.God.help us!

Of course, una need extra state. But from which state una go carve am out from?

Say the trash you wanna say...

Niger has land or the North has land but most of them is barren or desert. I've been there. You talk like the North has land and it's very fertile.

Am here to read

Check signature

we dont need any state lets fix the one we have stupid man

Ttalk:


That's what I have been telling our Igbo brother to pursue, but no they are looking for shortcut to presidency.

Seriously, Igbo needs the 6th state more than any other thing and it would be a plus for entire South if one state can be added and one removed from NW while 2capital should be created one in the north and one in the South.

But the South are too myopic and emotional to even understand what is good for them.

As it is, there would never be any pro South bill that would scale through Nass. We can all see the way PIA was watered down thereby making ways for some northern state to benefit from it because without South allowing such longer-throat, the Bill would have been killed like the previous ones

are you mad....??
you dont have enough trouble already....??

Sleekfingers:


Of course, una need extra state. But from which state una go carve am out from?

The only potential state that will come out from there will be anioma state which will be composed of Onitsha and all the delta Igbo local governments. However, I don't believe that the creation of more states will make any positive difference with the present crops of bandits nigerian politicians.

Paretomaster1:
The whole SE should Even be a single state sef..

See wickedness
Guy you too bad

Na true na, what's d size of their landmass? , how many erosion Don finish? Population?? Most of them will rather stay in Maiduguri than stay in SE...

You dull no be small, Dundee United suppose come scout you.

I don't have to respond to you in your childish manner as you are too confined to same archaic mindset bequeathed to you by your generation and your likes has no idea but would end up without changing anything.

It is clear you benefit from the warped system that favours no region but in your ignorance as a northerner thinks Nigeria benefits you. Shame on you and your one Nigeria where innocent masses in your region are daily been massacre but you have no idea of what to do to address the issue.

My comment was a direct response to Ekweremadu on issue of justice and equity.

Creation of state in Nigeria is a fraud perpetrated by military north against the rest of Nigeria.

Nigeria as a multi ethnic country require states should be created to reflect the ethnic composition of the country.

It is height of injustice for NW to have 7state while SE has 5 state.

It is absurd to create state based on landmass in country like Nigeria

Buddha3:


No offence intended, but this has to be the stupidest comment yet, on this thread!

Create two capital cities in one Nigeria? Is it that some of you basically have zero knowledge of societal economics cum political implications of some of the prescriptions you lay down on the wellbeing of the general populace? With just one capital city, we're still battling the detrimental effects of an ambiguous political system and one ignoramus is suggesting the addition of another.

I'm a South Southerner, but for God's sake, where is the land space where the sixth Eastern state is to be cut from? Abi una wan annex lands from other regions join with the East just to placate your delusions for an extra state? Instead of you folks to be ullulating the call for restructuring, una dey yan dust about extra state.

I may never come around to understanding how some Nigerians reason. Ekweramadu should be ashamed of himself for following this thought process.

Just look at how you deviate from the main issue that is based on fairness and justice in Nigeria context.

Fairness and equity requires every region should have balanced representation based on their population and share of benefit based on contribution to Nigeria project.

You have no idea how you and your region would be in perpetual enslavement to the north. You are not different from our elites who are so myopic because of personal gain allowed north to dominate you and your resources
