I will confirm

The smallest are the richest



Big for noting state.....

Yes, its called small but mighty

Millerz:
And Lagos is the smallest.

Don't judge Goliath's strength by David's size, it is not the size of the man that matters, it is the man in the size that counts...kudos Lagos!

Since northern region has the largest landmark in Nigeria, then why are they agitating for grazing reserve in southern Nigeria





To Bull-hari all animals are equal but some are greater than others....

The smaller the state,with large human resources(skill labour), the faster its development and the easier its governance.

MalcoImX:
Are you sure it's not what psychologists call a phobia - an irrational fear. With zealous evangelism (hmm, I just think of Jehovah Witness now), I think it's the Muslims who are supposed to fear being Christianized, don't you think so? Yet, I've never heard them complain of such.

Thank you for reasoned response

We have enough land for agric in this country.

Anambra is second to the least and yet we be pulling some weight!

This goes to prove that size does not really matter but resilience and good governance!

Wow!.Kebbi State is bigger than the whole of South East.

Niger state is more than 5 times bigger than the entire SE...na wa o

Kogi 13? Mehn who has travelled past Kogi before? Seems like num1 to me

OmoAjowa7:
Op. Niger state is 76,363 square kilometres according to the Niger state Wikipedia page

Well, it's Wikipedia anyway. Anything goes

But maaan, this North big oooo

Most of d land na desert n stones....

Why not situated huge ranches along rivers and tributaries up North to be used as grazing reserves?

Cheap land is critical for commercial livestock farming.

Just irrigate with waters from rivers and plant silage making grasses.

Minister of agriculture, do you need my help?

This is not a 'fulani herdsmen' and religious angle.


IT'S THE COMMON SENSE ANGLE

The smaller the state by land the richer it is.

Those empty land should be enough for them in gazing stuff,..southsouth is n't for gazing

Lagos is the smallest and the most populated state.

deymoh:
Lagos of life!!! smallest but mightiest

In a country of the blind, the one-eyed man is King!

See cubicles called states! SMH

MalcoImX:
And you'll still shout if we say Niger state should be carved into 20 states.

Instead the country should be divided.

Population is what matters, not size (area)
And Anambra has a lot of people.

lol like how Ekiti and Ebonyi are richer than Rivers and Oyo abi?

MrImole:


Yes, Lagos is the smallest and the most successful, is it not funny?

Since when did landmass translate to development?

MalcoImX:
And you'll still shout if we say Niger state should be carved into 20 states.

No, states should be according to their sustainability and not size.
What's the use of a big head with small brain?
What's the use of a large landmass without Sufficient Human Resources and Natural Resources?
Anambra is better than more than 50% of the Northern enclaves while Lagos Trumps them all.
So, why the fuss?
And why are Fulani Herdsmen all over the place with this Large Land Mass?
We NEED introspection in this country.

This your Map must have been drawn by a BLIND MAN!

How does Kwara State become a Northern State?
Does Bukola or Gbemisola Saraki sound like Tanko or Wushishi or Nasumu?


Even Benue that is in the Middle Belt has suddenly become a Northern State?

You these Northerners are greedy-die, walahi!


And BTW, how do you carve out 20 states from a virtually empty land... or na Buhari COWS go occupy and live in the space?

Yeye dey smell, big time!

emmalexabl:
THE SMALLER THE LANDMASS,THE BETTER AND MORE USEFUL THE STATE IS:

this is the wackiest and dumbest logic ever. There is no way a state with a smaller land mass is better and more useful than one with a bigger one, with all things being equal. Bigger land mass means more land for houses, factories, industries, farmlands and more space to accommodate humans in the event of population growth.
I can guess the region you come from from this statement.

bro, I'm from the middle belt and all middle beltan state are in the north. They are called north Central states for a reason. Remember? Six geopolitical zones? With benue being in the North Central

If Nigeria where to be well structured that states/regions manage their resources and remit a defined percentage to the central government, i bet you, some states (no matter how big the size) will be merged as they may be big for nothing(Not able to use the abundant resources they have). Do you know that some of this state generate so little that they can not take care of 1/10th of the state(Check IGR).

Nigeria has lazy governors/leaders that are not creative(new to zero sense of productivity).

Time has come when we ask our aspiring political office holders what plan they have to increase the revenue of the state they intend to lead.

We have a long way to go in this country.

Lagos

Imagine the whole southeastern states is equal to Kogi State. The same land Area
