You don't need additional states to witness massive development and economic progress in South East
Whereas you need all the proceeds from crude oil and gas deposits in the SE to develop your region. See you see intelligence by half.

I have often wonder why south east have only 5 states as compared to other region that have 6 states each and north west having 7.

Does anyone have a reasonable explanation to this?
Military dictator Sani Abacha merely flinged what should have been the 6th state of the SE to his NW region for a 7th state in the NW.

Any your people are not scattered all over other regions? Is either you are hypocrite or ignorant
YesDaddy1:
Even that 5 states sef is too much.
The 5 states should be compressed into 2 (max) as they are scattered all over other regions thereby straining the scarce infractstructure of their host regions.

The money saved thereby should be spread across their host regions.
cool

Calabar was never capital of Nigeria! When Nigeria was formed in 1914, Lagos was the capital ftom inception.

Provide a credible source to show that calabar was capital!

Secondly, how long was calabar administering oil rivers protectorate?

I just pray you don't fall victim of this thing you are looking for. I'm sure you were thought never to mess with Igbo when you were small, you are trying your luck at your own peril
raskymonojendor:
Exactly. Thanks for your support, but you are still our number 1 enemy in all of Nigerian tribes in Lagos.

Every election cycle, we will come together with our Yoruba brothers and slap/flog you people.

Ps: we reject Chinedu roads 5 4. cheesy

You're actually the ignorant one here.

The territory, Nigeria, officially became a country in 1914. So, its erroneous to regard Calabar as the first capital of Nigeria.

Always talking rubbish with confidence

Then merge the state you belong to in order to save money for govt of Nigeria.
Are you a Nurudeen Alao or are you from Owerri zone in Imo state? Your uninformed or cuny man comment suggests you are either a Nurudeen or a misdirected Owerri zone dud.
Should this be about where I am from or what tribe I am.

Why do you want more states?

Did those owners build any bridge or road in Lagos?

They will have to pay the rest of Nigeria hundreds of billions of dollars before they can own Lagos for themselves
Pay to who?

Yes. Three of the five SE states produce oil.

Consult your Geography books and the income statements of Nigeria if in doubt - Imo, Abia and Anambra States are oil producing States.

Okay. So the three states don't get oil allocation as stated by law?

Are you also aware that oil and gas is obtained from Southsouth majorly and other states like Lagos, Ondo and others that are not in southeast
Re: Why Does South East Have Fewer State? by DMerciful(m): 4:03pm On Jun 08, 2024
The govt of Nigeria.

Government generate taxes and income from Lagos like other states.

So what are you talking about?

They get from 13% derivation law.

We know, but we also need their support to become governors in Lagos. We prefer them to ibos that are eyeing and coveting Lagos.
Always looking for support from other Tribes in Nigeria just to feed una low self esteem, this is terrible, see how una dey fear Igbos like death
