Amotolongbo:
We don’t need more states.
Cos many of the existing states are not viable

We do need more states as some of the existing ones seem to be too large for some state governments to effectively oversee.

No state is too big to oversee in Nigeria. Stop giving these lazy politicians the excuses not to perform their duties

No imbalance corrected.
SE should be 3 to balance it
Anioma is vital to balance it of not it's all scam

Amotolongbo:
Oyo state has more IGR than all the South Eastern states combined.
All the south eastern states should be an extension of Kogi State

But the state still look rusty and stagnant. What's the essence of the big IGR without development?

The IGR doesn’t have impact cos of leaches from the other side benefiting from it and depriving the state.

Mrfixitt:

If the State had ate the IGR alone and not sharing with the leaches, it wouldn’t be stagnant and rusty.

Amotolongbo:
Mind you all your 5 states are just a little bigger than Oyo state, so put some respect

All of Southwest is just a little bigger than Niger state you are not that big either.

Ojiofor:

Yes.
And it doesn’t change the fact that no state in Nigeria is bigger than the south west, but about 13 states in Nigeria are bigger than the south east.

I see poor youths and children of the poor screaming that more states is useless, that's to show you how shortsighted they are


If possible let them turn every LGA in Nigeria to a state so that governance can get closer to the grassroots.


It will definitely create more jobs and bring people closer to governance.


Nigeria need a more micro level governance to make things work.


If you don't like the creation of more states then relocate to another country.


My only anger is that they still did injustice to Southeast. Let every region have equal states. it shouldn't be created based on landmass but human population.

Benzigler:
I agree with you, South-East should get more state, surprised no Anioma state

Don't know how true this is.. but if its indeed true that mean these sentors are morons or they take Nigerians for granted.. cos how do you explain no new state from Niger or taraba and only two new states for SE.

Senate Approves Creation Of 12 New States
18, 2025 7:51 AM


In a landmark decision, the Nigerian Senate has approved the creation of 12 new states, marking a pivotal moment in the nation's political and administrative landscape. This historic move, following the third and final reading of the Senate Committee on State Creation’s report, aims to address long-standing demands for equitable representation and improved local governance across the six geo-political zones.



The newly approved states are:

• South West: Ijebu (from Ogun State) and Ibadan (from Oyo State)
• South East: Anim (from parts of Anambra and Imo States) and Adada (from Enugu State)
• South South: Toru-Ibe (from sections of Ondo, Edo, and Delta States) and Obolo (from Akwa Ibom State)
• North East: Savanna (from Borno State) and Amana (from Adamawa State)
• North West: Tiga (from Kano State) and Gurara (from Southern Kaduna)
• North Central: Okura (from Kogi State) and Apa (from Benue State)


This expansion of states underscores the Senate's commitment to fostering national unity, inclusiveness, and sustainable development. It represents a significant response to widespread agitations for increased state representation and grassroots empowerment, promising to bring governance closer to the people and potentially accelerate development in previously underserved areas. An official gazette detailing the administrative frameworks for these new states is anticipated to be released soon.

More states
More political elites
More looting
More impoverishment.

I can sure bet that the localities and people to be carved out of Anambra will not truly be happy.

Pls. Is there any for southern Kaduna.

I would like to have a state for myself.

I have 1 acre

LagosOrigin:
true, osun and oyo states are not viable . South East should get more state .

All tiny south east state should be merge together to form a state,the region is so unproductive

Where is ogoja state here?

Amotolongbo:
Yes.
And it doesn’t change the fact that no state in Nigeria is bigger than the south west, but about 13 states in Nigeria are bigger than the south east.

It doesn't matter with all your landmass hunger still dey hammer you just like those with lesser landmass or even worse.
Israel have the . smallest landmass in middle east but far better and richer than their large neighbours.It isn't about size.
Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria but the most important and economically most viable state.

Jokers they are

But the hunger hasn’t chased us out of our zone en mass to seek refuge in other zones

brown roof your people keep running to everyday in search of greener pasture

YES. And they later make it, buy your houses, become your landlord and turn you folks to their tenants.

How you see am?

Fake news

Adada deserve to be a state. It will bring governance and representation to the grassroot.
Creating more states is a welcomed development.

Amotolongbo:
Oyo state has more IGR than all the South Eastern states combined.
All the south eastern states should be an extension of Kogi State

Another tribalist that should be banned permanently from NL... did anyone compare SE with SW...u just decided to throw ur tribalism here....seun should also start banning those that like tribalists posts ...if a person likes a post that supports tribalism, the person should get half of the ban the poster gets ....

South east should be grouped into one state

Lamasta:
Will this new states improve the standard of living in this country or it will be corruption as usual

If you are intelligent , you suppose to know the benefits behind creations of new state

Who are the people representing Cross River State again? I want to ask them something.

I mean, what are the determinant factors in state creation? The population or the land mass? Who are the committee involved? They should come and tell me why Cross River will still remain one state.

From Calabar to Ugep is equivalent if not more than Ile-Ife to Ore. Ugep to Ogoja is twice the distant. Besides, Obubra has been reflecting in new state creation since 1989, Nollywood even acted a movie featuring the defunct Obubra state.
