Can you believe these so-called leaders are investing time in this instead of getting the massive insecurity and crime problems fixed first? They should be working 20 hours a day for at least 6 days per week to uproot terrorists and emboldened bandits in the land and crossing the border. All cultist camps in various forest should be eliminated.

We really need a new state. First, Apa needs to leave Benue.

Could you please elaborate on this?

Misplaced priority from a directionless government

NIGERIA IS A 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES AND THAT'S ENOUGH.
THE NASS MAY REMOVE JIGAWA STATE FROM THE NW TO THE NE.. REMOVE ADAMAWA FROM THE NE TO THE NC AND REMOVE BENUE FROM THE NC TO THE SE.
THAT'S ÇONSCIENTIOUS AND CREDITABLE LEGISLATION.

A STATE IS A NATION AND A COUNTRY.
WE WANT VIABLE STATES AND NOT GLORIFIED VILLAGES.

Mad people wey nor know wetin dem go use dia life do after feeding fat with our common wealth

Why don’t they create one million states from the south west

Seriously,the states we have is ok.... Its just to rotate the leadership of the state that ok.... The ones on ground have not been managed properly.... We don't need new states......... Someone have been shouting ANIOMA STATE . Its not even listed... So the guy is just shouting in the chambers and posting paper work online. Ewo

Celestialsword:
Are the last states created by the military developing.NO,

This is an expansionist agenda.

The local government is closer to the people

The states created from the regions enabled a lot of unreached places to experience some sort of development,

Na mumu dey worry dis pipol.

manck:
we need more state and local government . The population has increase

Oh no! Even India, which is the most populous country in the world does not have up to thirty states. What's the essence of creating new states when most of the existing ones can barely survive on their own. Politicians are just pushing this agendum for selfish interest, especially those ones that are keen on becoming a governor.

could you give an example, because majority of the states created are still struggling to find their footing not to talk of development,most of them are neck deep in debt,like Ebonyi state,Ekiti state and all the newly created states in the north

Why do we need a new state and why must it be Apa?

manck:

Savannah state from borno state and adamawa
Katagum state from bauchi and kano state
Zaria state from kaduna and katsina state
Akure state from ondo and edo state
Ibadan state from oyo state.
Ijebu state from ogun state and lagos state
Warri state from delta state

What are they doing about corruption and misuse of taxpayers hard-earned money? Or do they think we're dumb

What the heck from the most corrupt politicians on earth.

The 36 states wey you get already never do you even though the common man in the 36 states are not feeling any positive impact from you and the next thing your corrupt brains can come up with is creating 31 new states

So as big as igbomina is, they don't want to have their own state? Chai. They still prefer to be under kwara state that don't give them any development at all.

This criminals again? God will save us from their hands Insha Allah

NIGERIA IS A 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES.
NO MORE FRAGMENTS.
MOVE JIGAWA STATE TO THE NE. MOVE ADAMAWA STATE TO THE NC. AND MOVE BENUE STATE TO SE.
ADOPT FAPRES TO OUR 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES AND CTC TRFG SINE DIE.
THE EXCLUSIVE LIST OF DECREE 24, 1999 CONSTITUTION IS AUTOCRATIC. SCRAP IT.
TRADITIONAL RULERS ARE OWNERS OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THEIR DOMAINS. AS OWNERS, THEY ARE AUTOMATIC AND NATURAL CHAIRMEN OF THEIR RESPECTIVE LGS. THE ELECTED LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMEN ARE PERMANENT SECRETARIES TO TRADITIONAL RULERS AND SHOULD MAKE THEIR ANNUAL BUDGETS THROUGH THEIR TRADITIONAL RULERS TO THE STATE GOVERNMENTS.

Obiedun:
Why do we need a new state and why must it be Apa?

Go Benue first.

Jamestown123:
Go Benue first.

I can't go there. They are killing people there. I get family here. I don't want them to miss me. You just tell me why a state must be created and especially Apa state.

manck:
we need more state and local government . The population has increase

How many China and India get??

This is a complete farce... We don't need new created states in Nigeria...

Obiedun:
Do we really need new states? I don't think so. Where is the money to finance the take off?

We need them, rogue and sitting duck governors are not useful.
The current monthly state allocations should be shared among the old and new states.
This is good for development.

ednut1:
Nonsense. 90% of the existing states are not even viable

Who told you they are struggling?, the governors are rogues.
The federal government needs to start publishing states monthly allocations, so that people can know why they are poor, and hold their governors accountable.

The government has been publishing the monthly allocations for over 15 years. so the governors in the new states wont be rougues ? when you use buzz words like hold them accountable. how will u hold delta state governor ( highest state per allocation) accountable? give us practical steps


below gotten from the ministry of finance website

Nigeria should go back to regional government or total separation, that's all.

That means you are creating more rogue that go chop your money. But truth must be told that if all of us don't change, nothing we change. We get the government that we deserve.

Dancebreaker:
Look, over time, people become distant from each other. Even related people. Urhobo, Isoko, most senior Itsekiri chiefs, a good percentage of Itsekiri and the Olu, Iseluku, Illah, Onicha-Ugbo, Onicha-Olona and many Delta people are of Benin origin.

Today, those tribes/people are in Delta. No problem. Benin has people in Rivers state such as Degema, Ogba, a large part of Rivers Obiokpor and others. People like Wike and Amaechi. A large tree will spread its seeds far and wide.


Most Edo North claim Benin origin too.

If today's politics decides things this way, let it be. Look, Benin artifacts are coming home after almost 130 years.


A stone thrown up will eventually come back to Earth.

Benin people in Rivers?!!!

Really

Do you even know what is development at all self?
