Why then are my Igbo brothers clamouring for more states when the whole of SE is not as big as the smallest state in the North.

Imagine Ebonyi +Imo+ Abia is not as big as my Delta sef.

cheruv:

We're hoping that the extra state come from Anioma... At least it'd add another 7000km² to the SE

dafuturis:


Abeg abeg not my Anioma we do just fine in SS.

cheruv:

Well my fellow Anioma brothers have agreed... And once the SE caucus signs unto it...the 6th SE position would be shifted to Anioma so that we the West Bank Igbos can breathe a sigh of relief from the stranglehold the Urhobos and Itsekiris are giving us

Eleghianya I bughi onye Anioma

StOla:



The ever insecure Igbo man whose destiny is determined by the Yorubas who ever remain responsible for his misfortune.
You even had to lie again when the fact you are even quoting shows otherwise?

Igbos and propaganda, a curse sealed in hell.

Save for Enugu that is interjected by 2 states, all the SE states queue in series behind Lagos as the smallest states in Nigeria. As a region, the SE is not up to many states in the country.

I really do not know why the federal government fractured the 2 original states of Anambra and Imo into 5 states. Infact, the single South Eastern state as outlined by Gowon, is all that should have been retained instead of these villages that have resulted from over-fracturing.

Oyo state that is position 14 by size, is about as big as the whole of the SE region, talkless of 13 other states in the country.

well if NOT FOR THE S E you wouldn't hv bn able to type this hilarious post, plus d clothes on ur body and also on ur fellow ofe mmanu brethrens
plus d electronics in ur brown roofed house you use to watch ofe mmanu movies.
lets jus say without the S E you and ur kinsmen would probably be naked holding hands nd singing kumbaya.

dafuturis:


loolz!! very funny

where was the Agreement made?? go to Agbor conduct a vox pop and see how disappointed you will be.

And who is strangulating you in delta. please!! don't come and infect us with your hate from the SE. all the tribes in Delta are living fine together. No big or small tribe, we are equal and one. We just need to get our politicians working, that's all.


SHALOM!!

We already know Nigerian leaders such as Abacha who made land mass an issue was useless, unfortunately mis-educated youth now also think along the same line unpardonable logic.

Once again, empty, barren, desert, or uninhabitable waste land mass adds nothing most civilizations, except in Nigeria where it is used to calculate and obtain free oil money.

Like I said before, Montana is much larger than NY, NJ, and even CT put together, yet Montana resources is less that most local governments in NY.
In Africa, Nigeria lags behind giant land mass countries like Algeria, Chad, and Niger republic, yet these countries can't even challenge Nigeria on most indices.

Ever wonder how small land mass countries like Britain, Portugal, and Spain were able to conquer large land mass countries like China, Malaysia, and 'Nigeria'?
Night education sure has its disadvantages!

Dainfamous:
what is the point of land mass if the land 60% of it is desert and useless??

princey83:

1.74% and NOT 3%.
Oil in SE combined is not even up to the oil produced in Edo state.

From which SE
This confusion you're perpetrating is what cost Anioma from being a state in '91 when IBB created those nine States. Due to the confusion from our Anioma leaders, ohaneze couldn't submit Anioma alongside Abia and Enugwu to IBB and since then its been difficult for us.

Delta North/Anioma is the next Igbo state and it'd have three senatorial zones viz ika, enuani and ukwuani..
Its capital is asaba and the state ,Anioma would give we the Midwestern=>Bendel=>Delta Igbos the voice we deserve
We're Anioma... Anioma bú ofu

Though we're of the same state Delta... That doesn't give you the right as a non Anioman to dictate to us where Anioma should be ...whether in SE or SS

Even the southwest produces crude oil more than the southeast, in fact double and they are always here shouting
"OUR OYEL" while blaming the southwest for all their problems.

Southwest 3.40percent

Southeast 1.74percent

RichYoungNigga:
Anambra state is the smallest state but has the highest number of individual self made millionaires

DaudaAbu:


Enugu State 7,161
Abia State 6,320
Ebonyi State 5,670
Imo State 5,100
Anambra State 4,844
-----------------------
Total =======29,095 sqkm.

Which is comparable to one of the smaller states in the north. Plateau State 30,913 OR Kogi State 29,833


And what are these states with land mass contribution to the economy of Nigeria? There are just big for nothing.









Corrected. Tnx

Stop using the word "Us, We". I replied you earlier because you said there was an agreement, you haven't defended that and you're coming with another "Us" . speak for yourself.

For your information am an Ika.

Just like Alaska where 80% of the land mass is frozen solid. In Nigeria, a corrupt and evil dictator would find a way to add it to the revenue sharing formula.

What use is a small Katsina community of 100 sitting in the middle of the Sahara desert in 100 mile radius of waste and barren landscape compared to Lagos with a population of more than 2 million for the same sizable land mass for example?

From history, Asaba belongs to the Urhobo people and not Delta Ibo. They only accommodated the people known as Delta Ibo today.

I don't understand why Igbos are always trying to lay claims to the land of their hosts just the same way they have been telling Yoruba people that Lagos is no man's land.

Very well then.

The GDP of Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra combined is same with Kano which is still larger by land mass, how do you reconcile that. The SE doesn't have the commensurate GDP and land mass to request for more state.

If Abia's GDP is not anything close to twice the GDP of Borno that is several times the size of Abia, why should it be asking for more states?. Even the GDP and population of Bokoharam infested Borno is higher than that of two SE states.

The whole of Nigeria is not as big as Alaska, a single state in the USA. South Africa is bigger than Nigeria by land mass but has just 9 province, a technical term for state there.
The present 36 states are already too lazy and a burden to the centre and you're requesting more states.

Why create more states that can't cater for themselves? SE states don't have the size or GDP or population to pursue more states, thats just the truth.

Chai SE blaming yorubas again for their small landmass.

SE is truly 5% in everything
They are minority


South south should adopt south east
Minority in everything

Please wish me good things.

Ugomba:
oh pls keep quiet! I have been reading ur garbage here in the name of commenting.
You Ikas should know ur limits, as an Aniocha indigene, Ogwashi Ukwu specific, Ika man should know his limits.
You don't speak for Aniomas, Oshimili/Aniocha have their own voice.
Take your Igbophobic stupidity and keep it in ika land. Its not need in Oshimili/Aniocha area.
Even it is not need in Asaba.
As for Ogwashi Ukwu root, We know our history and will happily build a bond with the S.E Igbos..
Ika man, face benin and take ur crap to them. Don't spill it here.

dafuturis:


Igbo, cry me a river
Mr Anioma speaker, your opinion is infinitesimal in the scheme of things. take your bitterness back into your stomach or better still jump off the Niger bridge.

your fellow Igbo spoke of an Agreement reached by Aniomas, help defend him. Even Aniomas in Asaba dont buy your sick sentiment.

pazienza:




This is a simplistic or rather, a mischievous way of looking at the issue at hand.

A better way to look at it is the sustainability index, which takes cognizance of debt and other factors and from the available data to us, SE as a region is more sustainable than Arewa and Odua region.
