Below is the Nigerian landmass distribution according to geo-political regions

Look at the South East.

There is a reason most, if not all, of the states categorized as Middle Belt share boundaries with the acknowledged eastern states.

Lol.

Lol

South south land mass more than South West?

Is this person dreaming

So, Borno state is almost same size with South West?

Is the OP sure the south west is bigger than Niger state sha?

Stop arguing. Bring your facts

And size of Borno almost swallow southwest.

One tiny region.

You can see there's no need for additional state creation in the south east looking at the landmass

It's shameful when adults come online to talk geographical land mass like it they have used it to achieve anything meaningful.

As large as the north is, yet what exactly have they done with it. The herdsmen still come to the south to cause havoc in the name grazing..

As small as the south is yet they are more productive than both human capacity and natural resources, if only the gold in Zamfara was deemed a national property then we would know the real worth.

The bigger the landmass, the more problematic it is, the smaller the landmass the more productive an area is in Nigeria.

Borno is same size as SW.

CodeTemplar:

Its based on population, not landmass. If Borno is 1million people and Imo is 10million for instance, you'll divide Borno to two state? Where is the wisdom in that?

Mind you some countries in Europe are smaller than Imo State alone

If it's based on population, will it make sense dividing Lagos state into 5 states because Lagos population alone is almost the population of the 5 eastern states...

Is that not the reason Lagos is pushing for more local govt areas?

The SE is pushing for a state to balance the political equation of a regions however, they have the population to back that request.

Personally, I'd like restructuring with 100% resource control that way it doesn't matter if you decide to create states because you'll fund yourself

I'm in support of resource control and a weak center..Since resource control is the best,Why is it that it's only SW and SS leaders that have been clamouring for resource control...No notable leader from SE whether dead or alive have ever clamoured for it.

So you know how to position your question,
I'm Igbo from Delta!

Now to your question, lets not get sentimental, Tinubu is there, he has been shouting restructuring. Let him do the restructuring now!

Japan has 377,973 square kilometers, GDP of 4.2 trillion dollars. A budget more than 700 billion dollars.

Nigeria with land size of 923,768 square kilometers is way behind.

Jonathan from SS
Tinubu from SW
Obasanjo from SW


yet they couldn't do resources controL...maybe they are waiting for Igbo to bail them


One thing is clamouring it another thing is doing it

Why is our brothers from the SE not in support of restructuring?Did you notice that non of their leaders have ever spoken in support of restructuring.
Tinubu has been silently doing the restructuring...Don't let us write him off..He is yet to spend up to a year out of the 8years he's eligible to spend.

COMRADES, the north has a very large landmass, that is why it intimidates other regions politically

The president doesn't have the sole authority to allow resource control....The national assembly can do it...The question now is will our SE legislators be in support because its obvious the north will kick against it.
