Looking at the population of South East States other states, there should be more states in the South West and North.

The South East is marginalizing the rest of the country in terms of land area, population visavis number of states.
Look at the map of USA.

New Jersey has more population than Montana, Wyoming, and even Utah.
Yet these western states are sometimes 10-20x larger in land mass.
Only in Nigeria where things go backwards would somebody waste his time talking about creating states based on "land mass"
States need to be created based on sustainability, not ability to divide oil money coming from the south.

Tribal bigot, after depending on eastern Nigeria oil money to survive, you want more state for your parasitic regions.
I am from Edo, we have oil. But no South East state has oil.

Do Eastern states have oil? My State, Edo, has oil.

Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia have no oil just like Oyo, Kano, etc. But Oyo has more population than Enugu and Ebonyi put together. Oyo has more land area than all 5 Eastern states. We can also talk about Kano population and land area.

South East is the one marginalizing the rest of the country.

You rotten dead body. You want to insult people.

Its not about how big. As an Igbo girl, I prefer my small Anambra where everybody has something doing no matter how small. I appreciate our closely knitted communities which makes for better social development.

Though I don't know the intention of this useless OP, it may not be far from buttressing the fact that the North is bigger than the South.

Well, who big for nothing help?

A zone as big as the whole Northern region is infested with First class poverty, malnutrition, Homosexuality, Desert Encroachment, Diseases, Evil and Demons!

OP take your time oo. If you are that big and have that landmass, why are you people always interested in the South for survival?

And lagos the smallest of all is accomodating close to 20m people and Oyo have vast land that is wasteful, they cannot even farm it to feed theirselves, owing workers salary here and there, strike and hunger everywhere, nobi by size.

Anambra state is far more economically viable and sustainable than Oyo state with it vast land mass.
Oyo states IGR surpasses Anambra's
Oyo's GDP surpasses Anambra's
Oyo's ICT penetration surpasses Anambra's
Oyo's number of SME'S surpasses Anambra's


Never compare Oyo with Anambra. It's like comparing iPhone to Land line. Dyg

It should be noted that none of these 6 geopolitical zones are recognised by the constitution.

They are essentially ideas people made up in their heads
That is why they are called geo political zones and not governing areas

Mack truck is big, but can it match the performace of a Ferrari?

What does the "north" bring to the table aside claiming (through dubious local government creations) more allocation contributed by the "south"?
Can a Ferrari carry the haulage of a Mack truck.

Stop lumping the North together and segregating the south, Geopolitical zone is not in the constitution, SE is carve out for only Igbo speaking tribe and there are indiginous Igbos in Rivers, Delta, Edo and Benue.
The North, South South and West have several tribes and it is not carve out for a particular tribe like SE.
The OP did a great job of highlighting the distinctive zones

What will happen if Taraba, Benue etc is added as SE state as it is done in other geopolitical zone where tribe is not a determinant factor huh huh huh huh, SE geopolitical zone is the only area that have Igbos as the sole inhabitant without another tribe.

South South have Igbos, Isoko, Urobo, Ijaw, Istekiri, Bini, Eshan, Okirika, Efik, Ibibio etc lumped together.

South West have Iladje, Ijaw,Aworis, Egun,Yorubas,Izon etc lumped together.

The North have over 200 ethnic groups lumped together in the three geopolitical zone.

So forget this land mass thing, it is just a fraud

OP are u talking of thousands of desert areas where u can travel a complete 5hrs without a single plantation or human residence? in some northern states u can travel 4hrs without across the desert before u get to see people. In terms of habitation, the inhabited areas in the north is the smallest in the country. all we have there are deserts

So SE small like this? No wonder they find it hard to stay put, they’re everywhere like internally displaced folks. SMH.

From Sokoto to the sea, we own all of Nigera amd we will graze every where.

The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Othman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the north as willing tools and the south as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control over their future. – The Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello

between the man who goes to a barren desert and find opportunities, do businesses and control the economic sector of the desert and the almajiri who carries rubber plates to beg for money as well as strife for left over food, who are the economic parasites?
oo lest I forget the parasites come to ur land with clean luxurious buses like GUO, Young shall grow while almajiris go their own land following a trailer carrying cows and onions.

What is the amount of oil produced from Abia? Barrel per day? Having a milk cup of oil, is that oil?

Olodo grin

4 states produce 90% of Nigeria's oil, non of them in South East.

The whole of South East can not even produce what Edo or Ondo produces. South West that has oil more than South East is not using it to mock North. You guys need to learn humility.

My friend you are right partially but stop misinforming the public, Ilaje and Aworis are Yorubas just like we have Yoruba subgroups like Ijesha,Ijebu,Egba,Owu etc. They are Children of Ooduduwa the father of Yorubas. We all agree Egun is not Yoruba but are more like a Yoruboid group. Ijaws don't own lands in Ondo state they only migrated there because they are riverine people.

I know many Igbos like you try to separate us Yorubas just to discredit the fact we own Lagos by saying Aworis are not Yorubas but Aworis are defendants of Olofin from Ile-ife a grandchild of Ooduwa.

Also Ilajes are decendants of the last born of Ooduwa.

So please stop misinforming the public if you don't know facts about something.

You'll be lucky to buy 2 Mack trucks for the price of 1 new Ferrari 488. Do you know how much a new Mack truck costs ? over $100K

Do you think it's those dilapidated trucks that failed road worthiness tests and have over 1k miles on the clock before being dumped in Nigeria we are speaking about. Even those old 30 year old trucks cost 10s if thousands.

I once assisted to buy over 11 trucks for a friend, trucking and logistics is not a child's game
