Am perplexed by recent calls for more states creation in Nigeria.
Our Democratic system is very expensive. More states means more gov,
senators, reps, state houses of assembly, PAs, ect. And the list is endless.
These are more looters in the waiting. Do we need more hands to plunder
and steal our resources? Do we need more states?

Why should you allow your thoughts to be so scanty?
With the way nigerians, especially northerners could kill to see federal character and quota-system followed in every process, why should you be perplexed on why people are agitating for the creation of more states in their zone?

Do you know that the south east is the only zone with 5 states out of the minimum 6 for other zones even though it has one of the largest in population among all the zones?

Better shut up if you dont know what to post.

no we don't need more states,

we need more countries

Arewa Republic
Odua Republic
Biafra Republic
Middlebelt whatever

@nuzo
The poster offend you b4?
Take it easy and express your own thoughts or views without going through the corridor of insults.

Personally, i feel creation of new states is not an issue that should be hurriedly done.
A lot of things has to be taken into consideration. It should also be given  room for more
consultation among Nigerians. Truly, Nigeria runs the most expensive democracy in the world, meanwhile the dividends
are from from the reach of the populace.

@meexteriox

Where did you jump in from? Are you new here or just one of those yahoo crooks with multiple ids?
Better sharap and mind your own business, . . . . . . abi no be you write this comment below on the oshiomole thread?

@kosovo
Now, you are really beginning to sound stupid.
Lucky was there for 8 years, your likes stood arm akimbo, watched helplessly
as he looted the state blind. Oshiomole has barely stayed 3 months and you
expect miracle of daman to occur. Your confusion and frustration has taken a new
dimension, watch it.

@nuzo
Its a pity turning a debate on a national issue into a sectional sentiment.
Unfortunately you and I know that the south east you mentioned are
the poor set humans that practuce principled politics. Maybe thats why
your zone is still the way it was despite your population growth which
you havent used to your political fortune.
The south east does not have one voice politically. Even with the statusquo what
have you benefitted as a people beyond selfish god-fatherism. Your zone has
the worst road network in the country. Do you think having more states would help?
Check out the last set of state created and see what has happened. Apart from
looting, the staes havent developed beyond the so called Capitals.

@poster

New thread creation is also becoming a big issue on NL.

its called divide and chop

Since when did the nigerians start replacing sectional sentiment with your so-called national debate? Common, it's been sentiment all the way.
Otherwise, throw more light on the purpose of federal character and quotasystem. Are those characters supposed to be patriotic or national sentiments? They are simply sectional sentiments. And if so, why not extend it to everybody instead of using it whenever it suits the rest of the zones?
Federal character and quotasystem is in constitution and must be followed accordingly whether things are going to get better or not. After all, this is nigeria.
As for poor state of the s/eastern roads, i cant argue with you on that; the only good surviving roads in other zones were built by PDTF which the s/east didnt benefit as was supposed.

New state creation is been chanted by rough that are seeking self interest.

Even if new state are being created today, so many people will still fill cheated.

This will not resolve no problem but create more.

@ poster

when do we all stop this incessant call for creation of local govt to become state with no benefit to the average man on the d street, is not going to work , has not worked before and will never work . remember we started as 3 regions and ask yourself aren't we better off then.

Flancy, if more states are not created, how u go get congila build tunnel go moon? Abi na for go-slow u wan die? Abeg more states joo, more grease to our executhieves in fawa jo!


And Nuzo, no worry ur wish shall come true. All local govts and autonomous communities from Obuluofor to thru mile to ihiala, njaba to obigbo, we go convert am all to states, so U go get tru and proper representaion for federal executhieves council.

Sai Anjinma! Mu chikeina!!

@nuzo
You have a serious problem of dysentery of the mouth.
My question is this. Can't you make a point without running your
mouth like a fowl that escape death by whiskers?

Name one zone with one voice politically in Nigeria.

The South West did not even support OBJ in 1999 and yet he won an election.

Even Yar'adua's election was challenged all the way to the supreme court by 2 Northerners (Atiku & Buhari) with Buhari even coming from the same state with Yar'adua.

Sometimes, it seems we repeat what we may have been hearing without understanding the correctness or otherwise. Think before putting things down.
