Your diction shows you lack intelligence. So Google Map that gave those distances is lying. I don't even think you read the piece, and you are making blind argument. Aboki

Start using your brain, your argument is not even tenable or up for debate. Its an obvious fact, it's like arguing that 1+1 is not = 2 does that make sense to you?

SW is simply bigger than the SE likewise the North is far bigger than the South, it's nothing to brag about but stop making an issue out of it.

Using the time to travel from Point A to B in both Geopolitical zone doesn't make sense because some Road networks might be straight forward while some would be zig-zag.

How can a rational educated fellow use the time to trave to determine the size of a particular stretch of land?
Are the roads and the vehicles traveling on them always the same?
The Google map he was touting will even consider if there's construction and weather to determine how long it will take you to travel from point A to B.

Guestlander:


Given this your "Duru theory of Development" Can I therefore extrapolate that "with development" the bigger state with the bigger population will eventually outperform the tiny little state.

It takes rare intellect to start development. I guess your extrapolation could run into brick of walls if Nigeria and South Korea had to be used as variables.

So just because i hit you with the truth you're already crying, Sob Sob Sob

About your rants, At least you recognized the fact that we are Majority while you are minors in the Minority , About edo landmass how can you claim what you agree is shared by all? if Igbos, Ijaws, and afonjas all have a stake in the edo land mass why claim it as benin land if you are not a petty thief.

About settling with Ijaws that is your best bet cause Ijaw warrior are already stationed at the Obas palace for a take over, so turn yourselves in and leave Ijaw land and acknowlege the newly crowned King of Gelegele.

Like i said earlier if all the stake holders of edo state land take back their lands you will be left with the Obas Palace. State creation gave edo state the Land mass not the Oba or Edo People.

As usual u can't stand alone, always standing with your enemy to fight another enemy.

Don't bring d Yoruba into this coz they have not for once claimed to have a share in Edo land.

As for the Ijaws they reckon it's our land, they only want to inhabit it like d way the Igbos did Lagos.

One thing I notice is that we the Edo, Ijaw and the yorubas are somehow related that we don't ever fight one another.

But you the ipob are just like enemy to everybody...

Bro l think you are wrong ,from Ibadan to owode in oyo town is 30minutes ,why from owode oyo town to Bowen teaching hospital ogbomoso is 2hrs

While from Onitsha to uli is 40minutes from Onitsha to Awka is 2hrs

from Ibadan to iseyin is 3hrs. Ibadan to saki is 5-6hrs. that's just within Oyo state alone

from calabar to obudu is 6hours. those are bug states.

from Niger bridge to Ikot ekpene is 6hrs at most (that's passing through onitsha-owerri-umuahia- Ikot ekpene). the south east is small

Korea did not start as a developed country, even China just 30 years ago was a struggling communist enclave.

Thank God you used Korea as an example because it gives us a clear perspective of what happens when a country populated by the same people is partitioned with each going their own different directions.
It is not about rare intellect, it is about choices.

Look at the Google map up there and stop pulling your own data from your anus

Are you a dullarrrd

That can never be a correct way of determining the size of a place.

If you don't know, ask!

By the way, did you do Geography up to WAEC?

You are too dumb that is why I didn't quote you initially. I have responded to retards on this forum but your own level of stupidity takes the cake.
Google traveling time to determine size of an area! How dumb can you be! Did you even go to school at all?

Why are you guys so dull

So because the distance from Sokoto to Maiduguri is a little more than that from Lagos to Calabar means that the south is almost as big as the north?

You have stumbled onto the truth. Yes, when nations are stocked with ethnical differences, development is very hard to achieve. Size of a country most of the times is an irrelevant variable to the equation of development.

What I was merely pointing out is the fact that the two Koreas are ethnically the same, used to be one country but partitioned with each going a different direction.
It is not about rare intellect, unless you want to argue the south Koreans became intellectually superior the moment a line was drawn on the map separating them from the north Koreans.

Oga Sokoto to Maiduguri covers much more distance than Lagos to Calabar. South East might be small but not as small as you people make It seem.

SE is tiny, about the size of Oyo state. If you have a different calculation simply reveal it.

Go and sleep then. Rubbish

Your argument is flawed sir, you can't determine the largest between two entities by comparing the distance from point A to point B, the displacement between the two points have to be considered, and that includes several distances.

The distance between point A and E is less than the displacement vector between them. But like someone had rightly stated, size don't really matters.

Check it out

derealj:

When you want to measure the area of a rectangular surface is it not the length of the two side you multiply?
Believe me the distances show a lot of information.

When you multiply length x breadth, you get the area of a rectangle. If the distances are in meters, you get your answer in square metres. So rectangle A is 30 m/sq and rectangle B is 6 m/sq, rectangle A is 5 times bigger than rectangle B even if takes you 3 years to travel between two points in rectangle B.

Frankly, I don't get why you people are giving yourselves headache over such an unimportant topic.

I don't understand the level of insecurity that would make someone create an absurd topic like this, denying facts that are utterly beyond dispute merely in order to puff up ethnic pride. So what if the SE is smaller than Oyo state alone? What relevance does it have to anything? If people can have such psychological difficulties accepting a mere fact of geography, how will they cope with more important matters such as measures of economic activity, or health indicators? How is any rational thinking about an issue possible when the most elementary facts are denied in a dubious effort at preserving ethnic pride?

It's the sort of idiotic thinking on display here that is to blame for so much of what is wrong with Nigerian politics. Instead of people holding their representatives, governors and senators accountable for their failures, all too often they give in to the temptation to defend the very politicians who have let them down, out of a delusion that in doing so they are defending "their" tribe.

Are you overlooking the fact that one Korea chose to be democratically at home while the other chose to be communist and led by an authoritarian? The choice you make in life can be included in the measure of your intellect. Sometimes it is not fair but there is no absolute fairness in nature.

only that the land masses are not rectangular. the area of each states have been calculated using the appropriate formula and they are on google. so its not debatable that when you add the areas of the fives south eastern states, they almost equal to the area of Oyo state.

Off point but both Korea (north and south) are doing very fine in their chosen system. Don't believe the pro capitalist bull crap fed to us by the western institutions.

Don't bring d Yoruba into this coz they have not for once claimed to have a share in Edo land.

As for the Ijaws they reckon it's our land, they only want to inhabit it like d way the Igbos did Lagos.

But you the ipob are just like enemy to everybody...

Heya still crying?
Stand alone you say? I am only telling you the stakeholders to the Land you claim, benin's are mere tenants in that edo state, the real benin land is that part that was fenced with benin dead bodies, i think the size should be around one Acre or Something the size of 3 football pitch which currently happens to be the obas palace, so make no mistake i am not famzing like you odudua descendant.

Why will yoruba or any of the other stakeholders claim to have land in edo state when they know it is not under any dispute, when benin tries that rubbish with afonja or any of the other stakeholders then you will see that the Ijaw recolonization of benin land will be a joke compared to the wrath of Igbos or afonjas. Unlike benin's, If benin people really owned gelegele the will not be carrying ply cards and crying allover the cyber space for help from their Ijaw Lords like they are doing today.

Go to Gelegele and tell the Ijaw man that he reckons that it is bini land and see if Skull mining afonjas will not be pricing the remnants of your decapitated body parts from the Ijaw land owners.

You all live in peace because you have accepted Ijaws as your lords and masters in the Niger delta and riverine afonja land, i thought benin's use to claim warriors, why have they suddenly lost their voice, today the Oba of benin is a modern day slave to fulani herdsmen just to use federal might to steal gelegele land from Ijaws, however Ijaws are Battle ready can the same be said of benin's coward?

By Ipob i guess you mean Igbo's? if yes, then that is because Igbo's fear No man and go to war with death to find life, however if you really meant Ipob you can refer that question to Ipoblogic, he is very sound and will provide a very wise answer that could save the annihilation of benin land. Ijawslave.

Bros arin, but you can lie sha

I dont know when these myopic youths on nairaland will stop this foolishness of 'my head is bigger than yours..

Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria,yet its the richest and most viable...Japan,Singapore,Switzerland are all much smaller than Nigeria,yet Nigeria is a billion times poorer than these country and can be classified as a huge IDP camp.

You lots had better quit disgracing yourselves here and use your brains(if you have any) to better your environment to a World-Class one.
