Cheruv, i like your dreams..

FYI, no Rivers territory will be lost, even if Biafra succeeds.

cheruv:

I'd rather say you're the dreamer...and nobody mentioned Biafra here but your paranoia won't allow you
Anyway your input is appreciated

Cheruv is right, but I will propose the total scrapping of bayelsa state. Let all the riverine communities of rivers and bayelsa be merged to RIVERS state. Let's have a unification of all the ijaw lands from burutu and other delta ijaws, to ekeremor, sagbama, Southern ijaw, nembe, brass, ogbia, down to degema, okrika, abonemma and other kalabari communities , ogu bolo and any other ijaw community I can't remember now... the ikweres, etche, obigbo and other upland communities should be United with the nearest igbo state...

Lovely write up... I love my ijebu state, probably going to be the smallest state...

At the topic, this your formula for states is the best for Nigeria. Regional govt will not work a least not again.
A regional govt where the anioma man in delta state is lumped with the efik man from calabar a South south... the local ekiti man is joined with a lagosian as south west...regionalism simply can't work again...

I wish someone can forward your article to the Senate. Let's have closely related ethnic groups together in one state, so they can grow together.

Thanks for understanding me...
I still dunno what's keeping lalasticlala from putting it up on FP.
In the South we've clear ethnic boundaries, and I ensured I followed those lines to make sure that only related ethnicities are in one state. Pls ensure this piece is taken to the appropriate authorities for action

Rivers is a dicey case..a state where three language groups viz Igboid, Ijoid and Mmoñoid fuse together.
So what I did was
1]remove those parts of the state that were carved into it from East central state
2]remove the kalabaris and add them to bayelsa as they're an ijaw group with little Igbo influence and no direct attachment to PH

This Rivers I propose would maintain the essence of Nigeria in its tripodal balance
