alj harem: Governor with brain. Abeg fashola please tell them oh ! Creation of state apart from the last SE state would only result to more looting. PDP bunch of thieves. Why don't you tell him to disban those Illegal Development Authorities he allowed elections to be conducted. I am in support of those Development Authories created by Lagos State for grassroot developments and so is the creation of these seven states for Regional Equality Hypocrites |

Chongaiman: How suave. I wonder how he is able to appreciate the problem of multiplicity of states while overlooking that of the abuse of the immunity clause.Because they r not mutually inclusive. One can actually exist and be dealt with independently of one's position on d other. |

afam4eva: The average Nigerian leader is selfish. The same people aho are against state creation are clamouring for state police. Where will the money used to fund state police come from? Is it not from the FG? Mtchew. Guy, see how you come disgrace yourself for public. Even a primary six pikin know say no be FG (of any country) dey fund their state police. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Just by reading some of the comments here ,it is not hard to realize what is wrong with this nation.Nigeria is barely larger than than texas but Nigerian monkey Negros still want to keep creating new state.Once a negro always a negro.No wonder they say black people have a smaller cortex than the rest of the human race. Go to Asia, countries like South Korea and Indonesia now have 1GB per sec internet while we the monkeys of Nigeria who do not even have ADSL are busy clamoring for state creation.Nigerians on average are extremely stupid that is why we go overseas and engage in the only thing we are good at : crime! |

Is creation of state the solution to nigeria's problem? Just like the governor said, the existing ones are not even yet viable and self sustainable, and we are here talking about creating more. It's just like creating more problem. Now, what I have always suggested is that the existing states should be made to be more powerful, powerful in the sense that we should decentralise the government, let the states generates their own revenue and contribute to the centre, that is, true federalism. If each states is left to eat from their own sweat, I bet you, no one will call for the creation of states anymore ... because you will know that there is no free money anymore from the viable states while other states folds their hands. let the days of going to abuja to collect money be over. |

Delafruita: I used the word "Illegal" in the sense that they were not recognised by FG. The allocations given to them by the State are not from FG and nobody fills a form for anything claiming they come from those LGAs. Why was creating more Local Government Areas good for Lagos State and the creation of more States are bad for Nigeria? Hypocrites |

[quote author=alj harem]Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria, has described the agitation for the creation of additional states by some Nigerians as an attempt to cause confusion that may result in balkanising the existing states. The Governor made this position known on Friday during a one-day public hearing on the proposed amendment to the 1999 Constitution by the National Assembly, organised by the State House of Assembly. Fashola, who maintained that the country would incur huge cost for administrative and personnel purposes in creating more states, added that the agitation should be for the creation of more Local Government areas as this would enhance the much needed development at the grassroots and bring government closer to the people. According to him, “most states are currently not sufficiently viable to justify further subdivision. “It may well be that the agitation for more inclusiveness in governance and for rapid development may be better addressed by the creation of more local governments than it can be done by the creation more states.” Thump up 4 u able governor. |

Re: Fashola Rejects Creation Of Additional States by dcitizen: 12:50pm On Jun 23, 2012 |
i support the creation of more states for regional equity, justice and fainess. all the six geopolitical zones must have equal states that is seven states each from each region. the creation of more states by the military administration is not on the basis of economic viability but on the basis of the ease of administration and unbalanced distribution of national income to the advantage of the north. the reality on ground today is that all the states of the federation largely depends on allocation or handout from the federal government including the lagos. fashola should pls stop insulting the intelligence and sensibility of the Nigerian. why is he agitating for more local government council creation? are the local government council in lagos viable economically? is lagos state ready to merge wit ogun state to form one state because both states are not viable economically. why is he calliing on the federal government to recognise lagos state as a special? fashiola should try to be a good student of history and stop his frog-like behaviour.when the capital of nigeria was moved from calabar to lagos, the resources from the niger delta region which would have been used to develop the region was used to develop lagos state becos it is the capital. most of the infrastructure in lagos was fully developed by the federal government and creation of more states which is political will allows the equitable flow of income from federal government and international institution for development and create a sense of ownership and sheer determination for development. fashola should note that it is the income from the federal government that is used to maintain the federal government structure in lagos. if he want lagos to be recognise as a special state, let lagos state remain in isolation from the south-west state as it was before it became a state |

The six geopolitical zones shld be regarded as states while current states shld be considered as developement units for the regions |
Re: Fashola Rejects Creation Of Additional States by aljharem(m): 1:23pm On Jun 23, 2012 |
I am sorry but in my post I would use some harsh words but I would say nothing but the truth here for those with brains to follow 1. Those that disagree with Fashola here or even insult him are either the enemy of progress or just love the current system of corruption. 2. @ Ngwakwe, maybe it is bigotry that made you not to think properly before posting or something but you call Fashola a hypocrite because he would loot more ? That is the da.ftest statement on Nairaland all month, quote me on this. He clearly stated that the so called immunity clause should be removed from out constitution so for likes of you that think Fashola is looting can sue him for corruption charges provided you have some evidence to back it up. 3. @ Afam4eva, money to fund state police should come from each individual state fund. That is not difficult to do, likes of Beaf and co have been calling states leeches right ? Then let those states/regions that can afford a state police fund themselves and those that can should try to find a way to generate revenue for themselves so as to fund it. Lastly most of the comments here indeed shows us why Nigeria is backward. It is indeed correct that an average Nigerian has an IQ of 67 (a mo,ron). All we as a nation are still living on is the legecy likes of Shagari, Buhari, Obj and IBB left for us since their time and yet these people are the most insulted. GEJ is there for us now, as far as I am concerned he has not done anything worth any praise. You all better start thinking and don't mortgage your children's future because of bigotry |

Infact this Fashola must be a stupid man together with bunch of bondos, despicable, imps and junks that support him in this NL. I thought NL is for interllectuals not junks that put tribalism into issues. When new states have not been created, are they not syphoning public funds? States creation must go on. I support the creation of Ibadan state. The largest city in sub-sahara Africa. Gbammn |

Re: Fashola Rejects Creation Of Additional States by DaLover(m): 1:46pm On Jun 23, 2012 |
In reality, the only way to stop the demand for states is implemention of true federalism......lets say each state is required to pay tax of 50% on internally generated revenue, where 50%>= a minimum fixed monthly amount...say =N=3billion, And monthly cash calls to states is stopped then attitudes willl be forced to change |
