That 6 geo- political zone it's a fraud against the south.... That's the Truth.... When the military wanted to create dis shit ... They said , it is for the people with similar culture and Heritage....
The Yoruba wey dey North Central why Dem no dey thier people for southwest... We get Yoruba for kogi... In lokoja and kogi west..
Omo geobpolitical zone be fraud against the south.. south east supposed to have at least 6 states if truly we are for equity in this contraption...

KingOKON:
Yet Fulani de show Yorubas pepper with their smaller population

no Fulani is showing anything...it is because of Buhari in power...when another tribe take over from him. U won't hear from them again ... Fact

helinues:
My friend, Yoruba's are not in the same League with the Igbo's in all ramifications not to talk of having any e-war with them.

Know that and have peace

e be like say u dey work for some bad element... Why do always proffer division sermon with ur ponpurse attitude...

Tomek09:
At all.

u say ?

Tomek09:
U can believe whatever you want. I don't owe you any further explanation.

Cause u lack knowledge about what u are saying....
I went there for historical research... So I know what am saying here...maybe want short story to back up my claim ?

Tomek09:
IGBO.
SouthEast—98.8% indigenous Igbo tribe
SouthSouth—55% Indigenous Igbo speaking population.
SouthWest—Appreciable population of Igbos in Lagos, Oyo, Akure and Ogun State.
North(West, East and Central)—Igbos in the 3 regions of North are too many to write off.

YORUBA
SouthWest—99.5% Indigenous Yoruba tribe.
SouthEast—0.8% population of Yoruba extraction.
SouthSouth—1.06% of Yoruba native.
North(West, East and Central)—21% of Yorubas mainly in NC and about 3% in NW and NE respectively.

HAUSA-FULANI
NorthWest—91.6% indigenous Hausa tribe with about 6.3% Fulani making up the population in this region.
NorthEast—75% indigenous native of Hausa–Fulani extraction. Many minority tribes are found in this NorthEast but unfortunately they've lost their language or about to lose their language to dominant Hausa which is like a lingua franca(generally accepted) adopted in the whole North.
NorthCentral—Hausa-Fulani population here is not up to 30% with many minority tribes existing in the 6 States of NC with Nupe, Igala, TIV and Idoma dominating Niger, Kogi and Benue respectively.
SouthEast— 0.9% Hausa-Fulani exists in SE with about 1.4% found within the shores of SouthSouth.
SouthWest—Appreciable number of Hausa/Fulani are found indigenous to SouthWest having lost their language to Yoruba dominant language.

So, without mincing words and being biased...... anyone can easily give a rough estimate or near accuracy about Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba population.

DubaiLandLord:
What is the latest news about LG autonomy? Is the FG now paying LG direct or they still pay though the State Government

The LG, State Judiciary and State Legislative arms needs to be an independent institution if we are truly serious about True Federalism.

pls educate ur self more about the structure we Re demanding from fg.. let each state creat it own numbers of local government... Resources Control...55% for state, 25% for fg and 20% for local government.if Kano like it can have 100 local government and ogun state decided to have 15 base on it incomes ...
This 8sbthe only way to fast track true development in Nigeria... Every state government / region we apply wisdom in managing what incomes they are generating...

That is why it is called Geo-Political Zones. States with same or similar culture, language, heritage etc come together to achieve common goals.

That is why Five Governors in South East meet regularly in Enugu like South West and South South.

It has nothing to do with constitution or a miscreant like you to come to nairaland to draw or redraw the geopolitical zones.

People with common history, heritage and goal will always aligned together.

oga stop telling lies here...
The 6 Geo political zone it's a fraud against the southern region most especially against the west and easterners.. Yoruba and ibo...As u mentioned earlier, if it's truth that it was purposefully created for people with similar heritage, why did kwara people , okun people and oworo in lokoja in north central ?

We also have oworo people.. they are also Yoruba ethnic group in kogi state....

Okun peoples is the term generally used to describe groups of Yoruba-speaking communities in Kogi state, North-central Nigeria. Their dialects are generally classified in the Northeast Yoruba language (NEY) grouping.[1] They are collectively called "Okun", which in the Yoruba language means 'vitality' or 'strength', and is the word commonly used in greeting among the people, although this form of greeting is also found among the Ekiti and Igbomina groups of Yoruba people. This identity, which was probably first suggested by Eva Kraft-Askari during a 1965 field expedition, has gained wide acceptance among the indigenous Yoruba people and scholars. The individual Okun subgroups share some historical and linguistic affinity but still maintain individual peculiarities.[2] "Okun" therefore refers to the distinct, but culturally related Owé, Ìyàgbà, Ìjùmú, Gbẹdẹ, Bùnú or Abunu, Ikiri and Òwòrò peoples, who together are said to make up 20% of the Kogi State population, according to the highly controversial 2006 National population census.

Is Jebba in SouthWest?

So Kwara and Niger States are now SouthWest and no longer NorthCentral abi??

Wow, I think Yorubas are now getting ready to reclaim their ancestral land taken by Fulani after the famous Afonja got decimated and subdued by Alimi Salihu after he betrayed Oyo empire.

Sadly, Afonja is long dead but this trait that caused him a whole kingdom is still existing in the lives of his descendants.

Until we see you guys taking action towards reclaiming those lands, Jebba, Ilorin, Offa are still North Central cities with a Sokoto Caliphated Emir ruling over them

The 6 region's are call Geo political zone.... It doesn't meant all the land in North Central are belong to the hausa or any tribes....we are talking of Yoruba tribes in northerner zone... All dis zone always support the west when it come to politics

How's Yoruba the largest? Larger than Igbo and Hausa-Fulani? I laugh you in Buhari's language(Fulfude). Despite Yoruba muslims having multiple wives and all that, ur population can't possibly be more than Igbo presently if we are do an exact, concise, accurate and precised head count of each tribe. Let me not talk about Hausa-Fulani people.

keep shut the bungur people that honoured tinubu with jagaban title are Yoruba speaking area / domain in niger state.... These are Yoruba tribes that traced thier historical lienage to ife ... Not Igbo type that are not recognized in Delta... No ibo in portharcout and Delta... ..
In Edo ,Delta, kwara, kogi and niger state, we have indigenous Yoruba ... I am not talking of migrant here ....

Yoruba is the largest tribe in Nigeria... Covered 20% population of north central of Nigerian...

Wow goid.

History it's one the best subject...

History of Jebba City

Jebba is a city in Kwara State, Nigeria.It has incredibly beautiful views of the River Niger and as of 2007 had an estimated population of 22,411.

The town has the benefit of being split into North and South Jebba. South Jebba falling in Kwara State and North in Niger State. It is home to the largest papermill in West Africa, as well as being the proud of home of one of Nigeria’s, three Hydro Electric Damns.

Powering the whole of Nigeria, every day. It has also a monument to Mungo Park, in remembrance of the shipwreck which took place there, while he tried to trace the source of the Niger.

More recently it has taken in 16 new residents in the form of volunteers from Nigeria and the UK. Jebba’s main quality is its mix of Christian and Islamic culture.

Transportation in jebba

Jebba has one main road running through it connecting the North and the South of Nigeria. The train station has a functioning yet in frequent service. The railway station is also home to one of the Mango Park Monuments. The town has a large number of motorbike-taxis.

Hydro Electric Dam in Jebba

Owned and operated the P.H.C.N, it is one only three purpose built damns in Nigeria. It supplies huge amounts of energy to the Nigerian grid as well as giving Jebba twenty-four-hour power. The dam is a beautiful testament to Nigerian productivity with an excellent management team.

They actively support community projects and the town's development. The dam operates with six generators, using the great power of the Niger River to generate enormous amounts of electricity. The artificial lake created by the dam is a gorgeous sight to behold. If you’re ever lucky enough to be invited along for a tour, grab the opportunity with both hands. The site is interesting and a day well spent.

Paper Mill in Jebba

Built and originally owned by Nigerians, the Paper Mill is the largest in West Africa. Sadly due to mismanagement and lack of investment the Paper Mill closed.

It was recently taken over by an Indian Business man and began to function again. Once a provider for so many in the town, which, upon its closer left people jobless and lost. Now as it begins to turn the cogs again, it has hired few local workers but is finally being properly managed.

In its glory days the Paper Mill employed a huge population of the town to function its huge production line.

King of Jebba

Jebba, much like the majority of Nigeria, is a melting pot of culture and tribes. Adebara Dynasty is the Traditional Ruling House in Jebba.The present King remained as the fifth Oba of Jebba.

The First Oba of Jebba was Adebola Adebara who reign between 1865 to 1900.

2nd King was Odaso Adebara (1901-1930),

3rd King was Oba Muhammad Ayoola Adebara (1931-1943),

4th King was (Alh) Oba Ahmadu Akanbi Adebara who lived on the throne for 60 years (1943-2003) and the present and

5th King is Oba (Alh) Abdulkadir Alabi Adebara (2003-date).

The people in Jebba live in harmony, functioning peacefully.

There are Jumaat mosque within and around Jebba metropolis with an appointed Imams. There are also several churches for the Christians.

Tourist sites in Jebba City

General

Jebba is one of the crossing points over the river Niger. It is where the A1 main road and the railway to the north cross the river. Jebba has an important railway station and is of historical importance.

Tourist sites

a. The remains of Baikie’s boat, the ‘Dayspring’. Baikie was sent to Africa to set up trading stations on the Niger his boat, unfortunately foundered on some hidden rocks at jebba on October 7th, 1857. The only remaining relics of the boat are metal items, including the propeller, so it is of limited interest. They are at the railway station besides an old steam engines which would be of interest to children and railway buffs.

b. The Mungo Park and Lander monument, a white obelisk, is on the island in the middle of the river which is spanned by the bridges. To reach it, drive off the northbound bridge to to the right by the police station, turn underneath the bridge to the left and park. Follow the path on foot across the railway line and up to the monument, where you will get a spectacular view. For further reading on Mungo park, Lander and Baikie, see The Story of the Niger – The Strong Brown God by Sanche de Gramont.

c. The Jebba Hydro-electro Dam – on the River Niger, north of jebba. You can see it from the bridge, but it may be possible to visit it, with permission from the NEPA.

d. Juju Rock. This is an outstanding rocky island in the River Niger which can also be clearly seen from the bridge. It is here that some extraordinary Nupe bronze figures, dating from the 15th century, were discovered. The nine Toesede bronzes, from here and from the village of Tada, are the largest cast bronzes ever found in Africa, and six are now in the National museum, Lagos. They have clear affinities with early Ife and Benin bronze-work.

Long live Jebba

I would be glad to do that!

I love what u are doing

cybersoldiers:
Sorry your YorubaNistan Tinubu aka bullion van can't be President of Nigeria.

If you people try to force it, he'll end up like Abiola

Bookmark this post for your reference.

up
He can't end like abiola.. it's a different ball game now...
Se leaders must mobilize themselves to go and meet sw for negotiation if truly them want apc presidential post....if not, I Will not advice sw to jettition thier ambition in producing not president...

afroniger:
https://tribuneonlineng.com/south-east-governors-demand-2023-presidency/

u guys are not serious..How many of u visit ur greatest Challenger in UK.. u do not believe in the west... That's why u are scared to contest against them.. God can shame u all and later give the presidency to South West....
If south east trull7 need this presidency.. they should first work on southern unity... show more commitment on southern mandates ... involve ss governors in all thier plans and then take ur graviance sw governors . from there.. u altogether meet tinubu and negotiate with him...after that all southern governors we mobilize behind one candidate and present him to thier northern cacus...for further negotiation...
1) I stand on southern mandate... That stated all presidential aspirants from both major party should come from south...

2) I am in support that , se should produce the nest president...

3) fiscal federalism it's only way that can fast track great development..

Pls my brothers from the south... Let's work for the betterment of all Nigerians...
Let's fight fro true federalism....
Se leaders should go and meet tinubu... If truly they are not enemy to the Yoruba and southern saboteur...
What we are doing here it's not the way forward...
Some are paid to create disunity thread .pls don't fall for it..

Dis op no get sence...
Abeg delete dis thread...

I am only in support of any good and nationalistic candidate from se ... Or give me osibanjo....
South should unit not against the North. But for our fundamental struggle.... fiscal federalism. That's all..

Restructuring:
the fact and reality is an expired while osibanjo is a better choice that is if u need the support of south south

I am in support of what u just said...

OfoIgbo:
A broken clock is right twice a day.

While our governors are irredeemable buffoons, they are right in not making the VAT controversy and the southern presidency issue, the major talking points of their meeting.

They should however be extracting concessions from the FG simultaneously. All the southern regions are really working for their own interests and the SE must not be swept away by any illusions.
If the south is not specifically supporting a SE presidency, there is no point the SE supporting the southern VAT collection stance.

Because Southeast it's unproductive... Asari had been vindicated by ur point

Igboid:
You are talking nonsense.

OBJ got Igbo support 100% in 1999 and 2003 presidential elections.
What ever happened in the primaries is non of our concern,as those are individual driven.

You can't be saying the North should not contest in 2023, without recognizing that in the South, the SW and SS shouldn't be contesting until SE have had it's turn.
If you are arguing that the SE participated in primaries in 1999 and 2003, then I can as well inform you that Southerners participated in APC primaries in 2014 and as well as main against the North (Buhari) in 2015 and 2019.
So under what guise are some of you demanding that the North should allow for southern presidency come 2023?

If you can't see the justice in the above, then you are dishonest and the SE is about calling out your bullshit now.

Southern unity will only happen when SW and SS embrace equity and fairness and queue behind SE for presidency in 2023, anything else is yeye talk.

Your fiscal policy means nothing to us down in SE just like in the North. You can cry all you like, call us parasites (never mind we want Biafra) all you like, but it will not change anything.
We will not let you have the NIGERIA you crave for, the one where you have all the sweetness while we drink from the gutters.
Una no reach.

And by the way, there is nothing like Southern Solidarity. If the North needs a soft landing in 2023, SE will happily offer her that, in exchange for a slice of our resources that some of you "colombied" in 1970 that have made you comfortable in "One NIGERIA".

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

U are paid to do dis.. I am trying to butress ur lies.. when u said south east did not contest against a southwestner in 1999 primary... Under pdp party same thing happened in 2003 in the primary... So, why are u lieing to Nigerians ? If u don't want southwest to contest it's possible but not by blackmailing other fellow Southerners...
I am in support of any southern president only if his ideology base on fiscal federalism

Igboid:
Exactly my point.
Southerners participated in APC 2014 primaries and indeed many Yorubas, SSners and Igbos contested with Buhari for the main election in 2015 and 2019 elections.

So what is the basis for SW wanting the 2023 president to be a *Southern president* ?
If you can answer this, then you will also understand why that Southern president must be from the SE.

If not, then let the North, and everyone else slug it out, and let no one try to float a dead on arrival southern president Agenda.

https://www.thecable.ng/the-list-2019-presidential-candidates-and-their-political-parties/amp

bro u are going off key... Re read my question again...did ur leaders steped down for obasanjo during the pdp primary election in 1999 ...? I am not talking about general election...
The north military cacus troll it opened for Southerners to contest in other to appease the SW... Ur people knew the purpose. But they refused to step down for obasanjo in the primary and contested against him...
Beside , obasanjo never the choice of south west .. u people voted against sw choice of app olu falai ... No body black mail se for it...same scenario happened in 2003 primary ....
I am in support of se presidency...but dis is not the way to go about it....
If vp position will influence development into the south east... Go for it.... But do u want to hear the fact...se need something better than that and without the unity of the southern part no futuristic of fiscal federalism...we all are yearning for...
N.B U are hired by umahi to do dis converse...
