"According to him, instead, lawmakers and other political stakeholders should be concerned about restructuring Nigeria to a regional government to reflect the real diversity of the country." THIS... ![]() 39 Likes 5 Shares |

Agbakoba is not wrong altogether, but he failed to understand that we can't put our eggs in one basket. We have to request for more states for sake of balancing. However, if Nigeria decides to restructure, then there we are. 27 Likes 5 Shares |

South east needs more states. It's not injustice only because it is not happening to you. Equal state as per region balances resource and political sharing. Creating more states will not stop regionalism. After all we know who and who is afraid of regional government. All regions is blessed in Nigeria and I don't know why some are afraid of regional government. They prefer to share free lunch in abuja from other regions without contributing anything. Selfishness and tribalism is what is holding us down. Nigeria will be great but we need to do the right things. Competition breeds achievements. Forget the I'm not competing with anyone mantra. 15 Likes |

![]() I always laugh when I hear regional government. Is it not the same regions where the big tribes were oppressing small tribes? The same regions where poverty and lack of development hit you well once you left the cities? Plus none of the regions if we bring them back would be viable. In the 1960s yes,when the UK was buying most of what we produced. Not today when everyone is producing what we produced, even oil self. Regions are for people who believe the myth that Nigeria was rolling in milk and honey when they existed. Lol. Corruption and poverty were.there live. And I have mentioned oppression. A lot of people don't realize that the reason why Gowon created states was as a means of saying f u to the big tribes. Not just to stifle Biafra. Nigerians should stop looking for someone to share national cake and face reality 58 Likes |

![]() The 5%ers .... Dot-in-circlers. The region is the least habitable. Should just be converted to a Pit Latrine for other states to dump their faeces. 💩 💩 💩 The ONLY ones left there are the poor & hungry. Ask Obi and Obiano why they fled immediately to Lagos & USA respectively . ![]() 7 Likes 3 Shares
