That's not true it must pass tinubu's desk first and if he doesn't sign it's now left for the national assembly to use its power to override the president if necessary

Praxis758:
Creating a new state will erupt a big fight among the South East people.

Gajagojo:

Tinubu and the National Assembly cannot create a state
They cannot even create a single LGA.
that requires constitutional changes
They are deceiving them
State creation is a constitutional matter

24 state Houses of Assembly must also agree
How likely is that
Just make a list of which 24 states will agree to that

States that have not approve new LGAs in Lagos state since 2007?

NE and NW alone are 13 states if they say no that is the end that is assuming every other state says yes

Will SW states say yes given the relationship on ground

We are doomed truly.

My greatest regret in life right now is not japaing when I had the golden opportunity to do so.

YourRealFather:

You wish
Urhobo people go seize the state full time,
Uduaghan as a governor could not even win the Senate for delta south,
Itshekiri no get the numbers, them be minority inside minority,
talk dey by some urhobos to move the capital to ughelli instead of warri

longayink:


But not Etiti. NEVER!! Etiti is a fraudulent proposal.

How can we go to Ebonyi and Enugu states for the 3rd time to create new state in the southeast while Imo West and Anambra south are ignored?

ejieddy:
I'm from Isuikwuato. Pls leave us in Abia State o. Why you wan join me with Ozara? Did they ask our permission or do an open debate? Creating a new south eastern state is good but not compulsory. There will now be fight on who becomes governor or senator and how it's shared. We are Abia and that's final. Leave us alone.

renzie:
You dont seem to be in the know of things happening. Go and ask questionsfrom enlightened people from Isuikwato, tell will explain to you their stand. For your information the Honourablemember that sponsored the bill is from Isuikwato. Don't hastily make comments when you have not done research.

Na useless bill dem dey rush pass

CrossRhodes:

South south
South east

Two different regions
Are you retardedd?

potent5:

Is Anioma in the East? What is the business of part the Southsouth in balancing Southeast states?

Funkyswagzz:


Dude there are times for politicking. There's a reason for this creation of new state and the time is right. We commend tinubu for his audacity to allow such bill but please don't draw us back

Ttalk:
SE people should be thankful to PBAT for the support given to this bill.

What Nass can't dream while Ekweremadu was Deputy SP, what Nass can't initiate when Ihedioha was Deputy Speaker is what is been done during Emilokan regime.

It's not all time we criticise, we need to give credit when it is due so God won't cancel our expectations.

This is a big win for the SE people if it scale through

millionaireman:


Methinks, those three or so Reps proposing Etiti State are perverting the course for a sixth state for the southeast.
They know that that area of the southeast had benefited from all previous state creation exercises.
They know that the area between Imo West and Anambra south never benefited from state creation, and this area deserves the sixth state; and that people from this area of Imo West and Anambra south will never live to see Etiti State created as sixth state for the southeast.

CorrectionFLuid:


What do you mean by Tinubus audacity to allow such bill? Please explain to me.

ejieddy:


Of course I know it's Hon Amobi Ogah sponsoring the bill and I know he's from Isuikwuato. I haven't heard this matter ever brought up in our meetings home and abroad. I have sent messages anyways. If we have discussed it in any of our meetings, I'd be overjoyed. And I have right to my comments as you do. So before you IGNORANTLY attack someone's comment, know it's their right to make comments and they have valid reasons for such. I believe that's wisdom

Electrochemistry:


What made them in different regions is the law, the evil law that puts igbo people in league with Itsekiri, Urhobo, because of Biafran war, in order to bring dis-unity and identity crises among the Igbos should be amended to integrate the region and make them see one another as one.

Remember one of the greatest problems we have in Nigeria is the amalgamation of northern and southern protectorates. Reckless regional division and amalgamation of regions of unparalleled culture and identity can lead to crises

It is the most viable proposal for an additional state in the South East. It is like a consensus state.
The five south east Governors and delegates from the five south east states in 2014 at the national confab led by the Elder statesman, Gen. Ike Nwachukwu. They agreed and came up with this request for an additional state in the South East. They first called it Equity state in English and then named it Etiti state in Igbo (center/balance of the south east). They agreed that it will consist of some LGAs and people from all the five south east states. If you also investigate very well you will realise that people in these LGAs also have some cultural and ancestral affinity even though they exist presently in different states. Other proposals for an additional state in the south east is like an after thought, trying to cash in on the present mood at the National Assembly.

Who told you anioma leaders want to be part of south east. Forgwt what that useless nwd is doing. He knows it wont work

EreluRoz:
Anioma state in sight. Delta state will now be ruled by the Itsekiris and Warri the capital
