Unbiased1: As long as every geopolitical zone has an equal number of states, it is fine by me. One zone can't have 5 while others will have 6 and 7.
The ones that have more states, what's the use of those additional states. All these state creation is just to loot Nigeria more by creating more governors, senators, Representatives, deputy governors, and state house of assembly members, commissioners, special advisers e.t.c. e.t.c
Ezewuzie01: The demand for Anioma State predates the creation of Old Bendel State, Edo State, Delta State, and even the Niger Delta and South-South geopolitical zones.
We have all the necessary resources to become a state. The agitation for Anioma State has been ongoing for over 30 years. Creating Orlu State doesn’t make sense. It’s like someone needing six fingers but, instead of finding the missing finger, he cut off one of his existing five fingers to make six. That doesn’t make sense.
What we need is Anioma State, not Orlu State.
- Senator Prince Ned Nwoko
Everyone can have what's theirs. It's not only Anioma that's clamouring for a state.
This is from a news report from 2011. Proposed states are:
Igboezue, Adada, Aba, Njaba, Orlu, Orimili and Orashi (South East);
Anioma, Oil Rivers, Ogoja, Afemaiesan, Toru-Ebe and New Delta (South South);
Oduduwa, Ijebu, Ibadan, New Oyo, Oke-Ogun (South West);
Apa, Idoma, Edu, Okun, Oya (North Central); Amana and Savannah, Katagum (North East);
sIfioksq: Sure, because the Igbo community has always had such a peaceful and harmonious relationship with the Yoruba, especially in Lagos with all the discrimination and poverty they face.
How Nnamdi Kanu was sowing hatred via his radio biafria and Ibos in large number were hailing him and supporting him.
Chinkoalhaji34: I dont see whats so great about Igbo and Yoruba ties, theyre just full of IPOB terrorists and poverty, not to mention their erosion lands and other issues that constantly plague them.
Video of them fleeing their Alaibo for Ibadan and Lagos. Na dem dey rush the SW. 👇
happney65: Olodo ni e. Olodo. When the Oba of Lagos told Igbos in 2015 that any Igbo that doesn't vote for Ambode he will throw him into the lagoon,I guess that was in 2023 too? Answer naa.
Nobody has said such to Yoruba's living elsewhere. Two Yoruba Men will be contesting it is Igbo people you will be attacking and when they respond with words you will be getting angry.
Yet on election period you will send your thugs to go to Igbo areas and start beating them up just because they want to VOTE.
Something that is not done to Yoruba's elsewhere. But when it comes to Fulani terrorists killing and raping our people,we won't see you cowards showing your face,you will go and hide your faces in shame
"Anyone that does not vote Ambode will be thrown into lagoon – Oba of Lagos warns Igbos
When Peter Obi was in APGA, he was also busy sowing seed of hatred by bringing anti-yoruba sentiments into campaign in Anambra state. Were the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Tinubu contesting in Anambra elections?
HardBishop: First of all, before the campaign, why did many yorubas threatening the igbos if they don't want to vote for TINUBU, all hell will break loose? Why did you people attack anything Igbo during the elections. Because of heresay? Did we inflict damage on yorubas through vandalism? Did we destroy your property? We will never reallign with any south west candidate politically.
The mutual love between us and yorubas is dead. Period . I hope this extend to these nonsense intertribal marriage, business dealings and other things. Period
Chinoso from Anambra burnt down a BRT station and BRT buses.
An Ikeja Magistrate’s Court on Thursday ordered the remand of Michael Chinasa, an indigene of Anambra, accused of setting fire to a BRT bus terminus at Oyingbo in Lagos during a protest in October 2020 over alleged police abuses.
Goldmynemaniac: I'm not sure how Osimhen got to where he is, but this I do know: Nigeria did nothing for him to get there just as it does nothing for of us all!
Nigeria gave him a chance to wear the green white green as an under17. That exposure brought him to limelight.
Nigeria also did something for many of us that got our degrees for dirt cheap. Same degree that my colleagues in the abroad spent huge some of money to get and some are still paying back the big loans.
lastkingsman: My political party now is AGIP (Any Government In Power). The politicians are not the problem, we the followers are and what divide us are far more than what unite us. It's a basket case now.
I just wish BAT can decentralized power as Wole Soyinka said recently so every federating unit can have full authority to run on their own and contribute to the center.
Yujin: Yoruba and Fulani are one so I don't know why these people are complaining. They should better stop disturbing us and instead go and learn the old new Nigerian anthem. It will help with the hunger in the land.
It's your people coming over to the SW share scarce resources with the South Westerners.
Check out the video below of an ibo man in Enugu complaining about how south Easterners are fleeing to Ibadan and Lagos in several night buses. 👇👇👇
kedeojo: When he was arrested, your people protested that it was a political vendetta for his arrest. Government has to succumb. They said because they don't want him to contest presidency.
This oba indirectly told him to go Bleep himself. He knows LP won't be winning Edo state and Olumide Akpata is of no use to him.
This is In addition to the tribal politics playing out in Edo State. Even prominent Obidients are not supporting Akpata due to tribalism of "it's Esan's people turn". They could care less about competency. Bleep LP top to bottom in Edo State.
Even in Enugu, all we saw were "Obidients for Peter Mbah". Same in Imo and Ebonyi. Obidients can only try that nonsense LP top to bottom in the SW due to the gullible "Yoruba, buts".
SoNature: Tinubu and APC are employing the tactics that has worked for Lagos State guber election for several years. From Igbos trying to take over their oba place to Igbos saying that Lagos is a no-man's land, all politics is centred around Igbos in Lagos. Sadly, this has worked and they have brought the same madness to national politics.
Rest assured that nothing will happen. Those same people he's trying to instigate against the Igbos are still battling with the bad leadership he caused across the board. Na person wey chop beleful dey fight. Thankfully, bad leadership doesn't spare anyone and some Nigerians understand this strategy.
During the gurbanitorial election, I listened to a space on twitter where Obidients and the Ibo co-host were saying they will chase away all the Obas.
He is used to kneeling. Obi never knelt for Ojukwu in his days at APGA, but Obi below kneeling to Fulani man Atiku and a Yoruba man in the 2nd picture.
