Gowon killed our regional system just to placate his slave masters the British. Yakubu Goloss you will pay for your sins

Of course it will be pointless to you since it doesn't push the false narrative of claiming that Igbos were the ones who started dividing Nigeria into states...

They claim Aguyi Ironsi was the one who brought in unitary government for Igbos to dominate other tribes and that is the cause of all the problems of Nigeria till date, but...

You ask the same people who killed Aguyi Ironsi and took over power just about 8 months into his reign why they have been unable to correct the mistake they claimed Aguyi made after over 50 years of only them in power without the Igbos then you begin to hear explanations without logic and common sense.

I mean let's look at it in simple terms, you claimed someone took over control of a vehicle illegally and caused damage to the vehicle, you killed him and then took over, after over 50 years you did not fix the damage but further spoilt it by creating more damage but still want to blame the first person for all your failures after 50 years of handling the vehicle and calling yourself a saint while tagging the first handler that you killed a bad person.

Does it sound normal at all?

You people will just wake up and start peddling lies as if the information we need is not readily available online. Why did Aguyi Ironsi seize power in the first place? Maybe, a honest answer to this question will cure your self imposed ignorance.

You just confirmed what I just said up there, you blame Ironsi and the Igbos for seizing power to dominate others but you guys killed Ironsi and have done worse than him but still blame Ironsi and the Igbos for your failures after over 50 years of handling the power alone...

Past goc division 2 that visit sobi barrack in ilorin.

Kwara and kogi state are division 2


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CEs7Vf3pig?si=p1iIPMP6SpzOH4mB

Kwara state is not north central . When north central they talk of division 1. Division have reduce to just kaduna state, katsina, kano state, jigawa state

In creation of 12 state .now north central is the katsina, kano state, jigawa state

Ilorin had yoruba oba upto 30 year ago. You have oba market in ilorin

Gowon didn't create any South Eastern state. Let's be factual
No record of when Anambra was created

There was a South Eastern state with capital in Calabar. But you are right on Anambra. OP didn't record it. It was created by Murtala Mohammad in 1976 by splitting East Central State into Anambra and Imo States.

tosyne2much:
And since 1998, no president created more states

I laugh Ibadan people for calling for the creation of Ibadan state.. Make dem dey play

State creation under a civilian administration is very difficult.

Aguyi-Ironsi took over power and ran the country aground. Everyone who came after him tried to correct the extensive damage that the disaster called Aguyi-Ironsi caused.

Imagine an armed robber took over your house and burnt it to the ground but passers by came and tried to put out the fire so that you can salvage your house. Will you blame the passers-by or the armed robber that burnt down the house from the beginning.


Iguyi-Ironsi remains the worst disaster that Nigeria had ever seen

You should be blaming yourselves...I mean Igbos and Hausas who have been in govt until 2015 when Buhari and Tinubu came together.
You have destroyed and squandered all the nation's patrimony before that.
Secondly,Ironsi introduced decree 34 unitary system of govt which later gave Gowon the impetus to create the 12 states.
Azikuwe,Ekwueme etc have been with the Northerners politically for decades,why didn't they change the status quo?

Untop Aguyi that was head of state for just 6 months, haba fear God, he didn’t even settle down to rule before they killed him. Stop the hatred, Gowon, IBB, Buhari, Muritala ruined Nigeria.

Laws that a Democratic president cannot influence in 2,3 years,a military head of state will promulgate them in a single day.Dem born una papa well to open una mouth waaaah,ehn?

Ironsi brought decree 34,Hausa taste am see say him sweet,give demself a lot of seats for assembly.Oya,make una come change am nah.

Racoon:
General Sanni Abacha really tried for many of the oppressed people of many states in Nigeria especially Ebonyi, Bayelsa and Nassarawa State. But Bayelsa has been a disappointment

Ebonyi needed that liberation. Infrastructure-wise the state has transformed, what is remaining in Ebonyi is human capital development (spread of wealth). But I'm sure the poverty here would have been far worse if there was no Ebonyi State today. As much as the poverty still exists, it has drastically reduced compared to 1990s.

Before, when Ebonyi was created in 1999 there was no teacher who was an indigenes to man the newly constructed public schools, basic teachers were employed from Cross River State who we share a history with as Ogoja province, and then Anambra state.

But last year when Gov. Nwifuru opted to employ teachers for basic schools following the lifting of embargo placed on teachers recruitment by Dave Umahi for 8 years, over 25k eminently qualified Ebonyians applied. Out of which about 1,500 were employed and deployed to schools of assignment.

Ebonyi Infrastructure is so top notch today that visitors who visit, say we have beautiful roads, mall, rural roads, bridges, airport but not nobody is using them.

I'm proud of where we are Infrastructure wise but I'm sure and I admit we can do so much more to tackle poverty and uplift more people to wealth especially to curb hawking by boys and househelp by girls.

God bless Ebonyi State.

Asek1:
This history isn't complete 😏
Cross River State that was created by Muritala Mohammed in 1976, where is it 🤷

Cross River was created before the War in 1967 as South Eastern state with its capital in Calabar before the Biafra war by Gowon.

It is one of the first states created.

It was named South Eastern state with calabar capital. They only renamed their state to cross river few years ago.

Na only Hausa leaders create states for Nigeria .

exactly and it's bad. Why can't Southern leaders create states

Honestly, you lack comprehension, an Igbo man and a boy to Ironsi named Patrick Chukwuma "Kaduna" Nzeogwu (26 February 1937 – 29 July 1967) was a Nigerian military officer who played a leading role in the 1966 Nigerian coup d'état, which overthrew the First Nigerian Republic.

This is purely an Igbo plot, the Igbo's, your brothers Ironsi and Nzeogwu were the people that started Military Rulership and Dictatorship in Nigeria by removing a democratic government.

History is online for everyone to see, your twisted narrative cannot change the truth of what happened that is already in public domain, So, stop decieving yourself.

Visit the below link and listen to audio underneath his photo to hear Nzeogwu confirming he is Ironsi's boy.

We need Okura State in Kogi State and it shall come to pass one day.

They are now corrupt, more corrupted than these crop of civilian leaders.

A return to military administration will make things even worse.

Pure assumption... Who told you, how did you know that they are more corrupt?

How do you know they would be worse if return?

So what of Edo state?who created Edo state because I didn't see it on the list

Meedon:
We have crude oil
We have coal
We have enough land for farming
Unfortunately government are stealing our resources without giving us anything in return. Shiooorrrrrrr

You have oil right..
And yet FG have not included kogi state as oil producing state
Audio oil

A lop-sided distribution of states skewed by northern military dictators against the south , but no civilian govt is able to adjust it shows that Nigeria is under northern military hegemony.

Tinubu himself literally begged for political restructuring of Nigeria when he was gov.

Pointless history lesson. I’m out.

You came to sell snake oil or you have no clue about how the skewed distributiin of states affects Nigeria southern states adversely.

He ran the country aground in 8 months and you people could not revive it after over 50 years?

Are you trying to say you people are that dumb?

This is not accurate, Where is gongola state? Created in 1973, Which was later divided into adamawa and taraba?

Does it sound normal at all?

It sounds normal to me. Ironsi was the head of state of a suspicious and fractured country that had just witnessed a bloody coup led by Igbo officers. Ironsi proceeded to implement a decree that restricted Nigeria's press freedom and the infamous Decree No. 34", which abrogated the country's federal structure in exchange for a unitary.

Throughout Nigeria's period of self-rule, the North has consistently employed Northern political terms in its political movement. Northern Nigeria had always been suspicious of southern Nigerians. When given a chance by the useless Igbo military elite, they took complete control of the country, creating states that empowered the North. At the same time, return to regions when they can create multiple Northern states.

Igbo people need to learn that politics is a game of interest.

Aguiyi-Ironsi inherited a Nigeria that was deeply fractured by its ethnic and religious cleavages. None of the high-profile victims of the 1966 coup was of Igbo extraction.

Aguiyi Ironsi, who was the most senior officer alive as at the morning of 15 January 1966. after managing to survive the coup by outwitting the coup plotters, he proceeded to rally some troops loyal to him and was able to crush the coup.

The perception of many, including the Northern and Western soldiers that no high-profile politician of Igbo extraction was killed, added to the emergence of yet another Igbo General as the leader of the Military Government of Nigeria, led people of the northern part the country to believe that it had been an Igbo conspiracy.

Though Aguiyi-Ironsi tried to dispel that notion by courting the aggrieved ethnic groups through political appointments and patronage, his failure to punish the coup plotters and the promulgation of the now-infamous "Decree No. 34", which abrogated the country's federal structure in exchange for a unitary one, crystallized the conspiracy theory.


Aguiyi-Ironsi in the early 1950s
During his short regime (194 days in office), Aguiyi-Ironsi promulgated a raft of decrees.

Among them were the Constitution Suspension and Amendment Decree No.1, which suspended most articles of the Constitution though it left intact those sections that dealt with fundamental human rights, freedom of expression and conscience.

The Circulation of Newspaper Decree No.2 removed the restrictions on press freedom that had been put in place by the preceding civilian administration.[22]

According to Ndayo Uko, the decree was to serve "as a kind gesture to the press" to safeguard himself when he went on later to promulgate the Defamatory and Offensive Decree No.44 of 1966, which made it an "offense to display or pass on pictorial representation, sing songs, or play instruments the words of which are likely to provoke any section of the country"

So are you saying that after over 50 years of the damage you claim the Igbos did through Ironsi, you people who have ruled since then could not fix the error or even make the country the country of your dreams without the Igbos in power?

Biafra agitation today is still based on controlling the aforementioned states and annexing present day Delta.
