These people are so funny. Land mass means nothing in terms of economic conditions

England is 132km which is less than Niger and Borno states

Can you compare those comatose states with England?

Most of those land mass in the north are empty espanse of lands. You can drive for hours without seeing a single habitat

We can all see that land mass isn't what makes a country economically viable. For example,Holland is a country with less population compared to Lagos state with a land mass equal that of Taraba state, yet they are the largest manufacturer of aeroplane in the world and is one of the highest income countries in the entire European Union.

As big as the so called north claimed to be,I have never heard that we export food and cattle to other countries of the world yet they have mass land with the highest/greatest number of unproductive population in the world.

Lagos is the Hong-kong of Africa,while anambra is the entrepreneur/propreneur capital of Africa with the highest number of millionaires. These are the two microcosm of Nigeria.

...your response would get good support if it were true that the five states, or the region in itself, is a respectable economic performer.

You must find some other index with which to brand SE, land and economy ranking work against you. Lagos state is a tiny state but economic giant. The whole SW region is the top income earner for Nigeria and also the top culturally diverse society, and in land size the region is the biggest in the South.

So Ibos need to define new brandings, economic or geographic does not work well in your favour.
What are we really dragging for in the South for goodness sake?
The person you quoted was answering someone that said the whole SE be merged into two states because of their size, and he rightly answered the guy that it’s not about the size as Lagos is doing pretty well even though it’s the smallest state in the country. It’s not about size but economic viability of a state.
But you just had to turn the whole thing to a d1ck measuring contest, Why?
Who did us this thing in the South that we cannot get along for our own development and wellbeing?
SS never agrees with SE, SE never agrees with SW and the cycle goes on for years!!!
Are we not tired? This is why we have been under Northern rule for years in this country because Southerners never agree with themselves. Na our over sabi dey kill us, tufiakwa!

I am even of the opinion that more states be created in the South so the development could go deeper since the powers that be don’t want any group to break out.

The combination of the Southerners, East and West are the driving force of this nation. And one barbarians is talking about land mast in the northern states.

No doubt the entire SOUTHEAST is small but it's 2 times bigger than Jamaica. grin grin.

Now if it's really small, why does the Nigerian Government find it difficult ceding such a small portion to self actualisation with territorial integrity, if they could easily cede a small Bakassi..?

Bakassi did not belong to Nigeria in the first place
