Ogun + Oyo + Osun + Ondo + Ekiti = 76320KM²

Lagos = 3345KM²

Niger alone = 76363KM²

Niger State = Entire Southwest States - Lagos

Anambra + Enugu + Abia + Imo + Ebonyi = 29525KM²

Kogi = 29833KM²

The entire southeast is a little less than Kogi State only

The north have more than enough land to take care of RUGA, let it be that way.

Lagos is a classical example of the fact that your mental capacity is more important than the size of your body.

I can't take that 4844 for anambra, is too small for my liking..
We need more lands to add up to like 9688 kilometers squared.
Re: Nigeria's 36 States & Fct Ranked In Order Of Land Surface Area. by Nobody:
From numbers 1 to 25 excluding Delta state is enough for RUGA.

I think the FG should quickly as possible implement ruga in these states

State number 1 to the 25th one...

I now endorse RUGA.... is a nice idea.

Yes indeed; however, if Buhari had proposed it for only the northern states; southerners would have been crying marginalisation.

Even as he made it completely voluntary and for the pilot scheme to commence only in the northern states; southerners were already jumping the gun and crying murder, rejecting it in anticipation even before been offered the proposal.

Now that it had been suspended they are yet stop ventilating and spewing out Fake News and all manner of baseless conspiracy theories.
