Nigerians are just noisemakers and wasteful people.

Why not take one state from the North and add it to the South to balance the equation as 18+ 18.....are you telling me with all the so called professors we have someone cannot suggest something like adding Benue state to SE and pulling Adamawa from NW back to middlebelt.....we are just a country populated with empty vessels.
Waste of time, these so called politicians have started playing the gullible masses again.

One single local government the House of Assembly will not create, let alone a state, what a joke, truly they are jobless things entertaining their gullible constituents.

You need efficient local government administration not chasing shadows of imaginary state creation.

If that money used to create a new state is spent on what u already have for social & economic development?

Why should it be all about SE always? Who told these people all the geopolitical zones have equal number of states? Do they even know that NW is already 7 states?

Chai.

Benue State on the Nigerian map is located in NC part and not even close to the South South, South East of South West, would now be relocated like a car and driven from the map and dumped in the south?

Pathetic reasoning.

Lagos is located in South West, close to Ogun State and also close to Benin Republic. Geographically, Lagos can either be merged with Ogun Stare or annexed to Benin Republic, it can't be taken to any other region.

You guys should learn how to reason.

Where Imo State is now geographically, it's can't be moved to South West or any northern region based on position and coordinates.
Uncle, google is your friend if you know nothing about your country.

Benue borders 2 South Eastern states and 1 South South state....of all the northern states, Benue is probably the least Northern and shares a lot of culture with Igbos and SS.

No patriotic Nigerian that is not a thief or a politician will ask for more states when we see clearly what the massive amount of career politicians are doing to us and costing us....just more waste to give some useless people more chances to steal and impoverish the vast 200 million of us.

He doesn't have sense.

He said all 36 stares are struggling, but help us add one more to the South East, so we can add just one more struggle.
Lol, you are right, I did not even see that in his comments before.

Imagine an educated man, that is suppose to be one of the best legal minds in the country, saying that states are struggling to exist yet the solution is to add one more....chai, all because of selfish interest and the fact that politicians (especially the ones from the south) form most of his clientele.

Like people have said before, I wonder what one did wrong to be born in a country of these kind off selfish, wicked and insane human beings!!!

then it should morph into south, if they can't cut from east. After all Edo, Delta are Midw est by referendum . U wey no know say u dumb, what's ur suggestion aside taking part of Delta from different zone and across river to add to east
Southeast sponsored about 5 proposed states within southeast we no depend on people suffering from identity crisis.The original plan is to create additional state in southeast to equal other regions before Senator Ned Nwoko came to key into it and to make Anioma the sixth state of SE.It is his idea not ours.

See contradiction.

Existing States can't survive. However, just give us one more to add to the list of the states that can't survive.

Some people and poor reasoning
So it is you that reason well like this abi?

why the hell did you guys created South East knowing that it can fit in the size of Niger state or whatever you call ithuh

Since the SE geopolitical zone has just 5 states as compared to other zones with 6 to 7 states… I think everyone on his right thinking faculty should advocate for additional state for SE to provide equality…
You don’t have to be dumb all the time, do youhuh
The person you responded to is very terrible, they are many like him on this forum…

pls cut from east to make it 6 simple. Them cut Delta and Edo from Bendel. Niger state alone is bigger than the whole 5 eastern states. Make them cut am too nah. Delta na Midwest by referendum vote in 1963. Na Ned nwoko start this nonsense see finish. 2027 he will be political orphan.
Dark hearts. Am sure you can defend till eternity that there are Yorubas in Ilorin but the wicked you will also fight to prove there are no Igbos in Delta and Rivers just to satisfy your dark heart

Why can't South East advocate to equal other regions in revenue generation ? All they do is to engage in meaningless activities that doesn't bring growth or any development.


Why are those leeches looking for additional state? When their five states can't even survive at all.

The present nass are truly jesters, they lacked innovation of how to move Nigeria forward and make it economically bouyant but instead creating more burdens.

Most hidden reasons they want to create more states may be the quests from some of them to become governors. If fg should approve these nonsense then fuel subsidy must come back because it shows we have money and one of the way it can go round is subsidy,

Niger State is the largest state in Nigeria by land mass, so why is it that states like Kano have more local government councils than Niger state, going by your logic ? If we want to go by your warped logic the Northern regions should have far more states than her southern counterparts then..

Any group you Dey form in Nigeria , make sure you include an Edo person. That way you are sure that there is someone in that group that will always say the truth, stand by the truth and defend the truth without fear or favour.

Stupid talk.
Your midwest is dead, gone and not coming back.
Anioma made a mistake jettisoning the initial plan to merge with the Eastern region, because you Edoid/Edos promised to hand over the premier of the Midwest to an Anioma son if they agreed to join Midwest.
Anioma will be reunified with SE.
And that will be the 6th SE state.
This way the Edoids in Delta will move their capital to Warri and have what they always wanted, while Igboland balkanization will be reversed. This will also kill identity crisis in Anioma.

Despite I agreed with Ozokhome statement, I lost my cool with this man lately because of his blabla.

If SE want extra state so be it but the struggle will be a bit hard because the other region too wil want more state. And about the constitution truly we need a new constitution.

Lagos state is bigger than Togo, didn’t stop Togo from being a whole sovereign nation. I don’t see why the SE can’t get an additional state
How will you say Lagos is bigger than Togo? Nairaland people self 🤣 Togo is almost 60k km/sqm whole Lagos is less than 5k
