Why Does South East Have Fewer State? by tunjijones(m): 7:39pm On Jun 06, 2024
I have often wonder why south east have only 5 states as compared to other region that have 6 states each and north west having 7.

Does anyone have a reasonable explanation to this?

Marginalization is the reason.

Some Eastern states were fraudulently named middle belts.

That is why someone whose name is Chibuike from Port Harcourt will say he is not Igbo.

Number of local government areas in some states is another scam.

It's all politics

And example is that Lagos State has more than twice the population of Kano, but Kano has almost twice the Local Governments Lagos has

Use Google, the landmass of the whole 5 South Eastern states combined is less than the landmass of Niger State alone, so where are you creating the states? In the sky?

Lagosians do not want to be part of south west region but if you insist then ask MC OLUOMO that question after all, he's your leader and mentor

The resources you're able to pull depends on the territory you're spreading your tentacles to. Igbos spreading across Nigeria means they're pulling more resources

When you divide lgbos into other states to make them small.

Igbos started being small in Nigeria after the war. From Rivers to Delta etc you see lgbos whose identity the worked hard to change.

Lagos state indigenous people said they don't want to be in the south west. They want to be in the WEST-WEST and that is the regionalism they are pushing for.

So as there is a south south, there will now be a west west cool simple.

So better remove your eye from lagos on time and face your illaro

Re: Why Does South East Have Fewer State? by YesDaddy1: 10:05am On Jun 07, 2024
Even that 5 states sef is too much.
The 5 states should be compressed into 2 (max) as they are scattered all over other regions thereby straining the scarce infractstructure of their host regions.

The money saved thereby should be spread across their host regions.
cool

Go back to ogbomosho and leave Lagos for lagosians.

Igbos have the biggest population in Nigeria. In all parts of the country, after the indigenous peoples, the next biggest population are the Igbos.

Maybe you are not yet ready to tell yourselves the truth.
