Nigerians needs to remember this man as the genesis of most of the hardship we suffer today in Nigeria.

The creation of Delta state was because of his wife.

He even had to ensure the capital was in Asaba despite protest by the majority of Deltans that they wanted their capital to be in Warri.

Yes and no democratic elect have created a single "unfeasible" state

The same delta state that has marginalised itsekiris urhobo and ijaw people in it
Most of the oil money in the state comes from places I just mentioned
All the money are being used to develop asaba
I weep for itsekiris urhobos ijaws for letting this to happen

AllenSpencer:
What this man did for Nigeria, Democracy won't achieve it in the next 30years

The landmarks are there. Wat you call Nigeria today are the handworks of this great man.

Maryam Babangida created Delta state. That is why Bendel Igbos like the Ika and Anioma were lumped together with the oil rich South of the state.

Many Urhobos,Ijaw, Itsekiri and Isoko see it as unfair till this day. Worse in their eyes, she made Asaba, an Igbo enclave, way up North, far from the oil producing areas the capital. That was mean!

She wanted her people (She's Delta Igbo) to benefit from the oil even though not oil producing areas.

He created Delta state after taking someone else's wife, The creation of Delta state by Babangida was a Greek gift. Only very few Nigerian can remember the reason behind the creation of Delta state. Evil man Called Babangida.

Ngwamankillyou:
Hatred kiiiii you there, delta is for igbos, others can go and hang... The minority oil is our right.. Come and move asaba to warri na... I will report you to chukwu okike soon.

Legends have it that it was maryam babaginda that necessitated the creation of delta and had the capital moved to asaba her hometown instead of the preferred warrior.


Akhiomu was also pressured to move the Edo capital to his place but he opted for Benin

At 78, Okowa hails IBB for creating Delta state

Delta Governor, Sen. (Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa, has congratulated former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, as he clocks 78 years on Aug. 17.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Olisa Ifeajika, on Friday in Asaba, the governor said that Babangida was an elder statesman whose commitment to the unity and indivisibility of the country remained resolute.

He extolled the former Nigerian leader for his leadership qualities, and acknowledged his role in the creation of Delta as a state and for remaining an elder statesman and rallying point since leaving office in 1993.

Okowa said that the people of Delta remained eternally grateful to him for the creation of the state in 1991.

“You created Delta in 1991 and as we celebrate the 28th anniversary of the creation of our dear state, we remember your astute and sagacious contributions towards the realisation of our dream.

“You had an illustrious military career which culminated in your becoming military president of the country.

``As a national icon and statesman, you occupy a special place in the hearts of the government and people of Delta, because without your benevolent act, perhaps Deltans would have still been agitating for their own state.

“So, on behalf of my family, the government and people of the state, I heartily congratulate you, our great leader and elder statesman, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, on your 78th birth anniversary.

“As a distinguished patriot and leader, you served the nation diligently in your quest to keep the unity and diversity of our beloved country.

"As you continue to age gracefully, we thank you for your kind contributions to nation-building, particularly for the creation of our dear state, Delta.

"It is my prayer that the good Lord will continue to uphold and guide you in all your future endeavours," he stated.
