Is Hausa or Fulani territory only in the North West or North East?

Is Yoruba territory only in the SouthWest?

If the Yoruba parts of Kwara (2/3 by senatorial zone) is included as a state of its own in the SW, and same is done to the Yoruba part of Kogi (1/3 by senatorial zone), then the SW would have 8 states.

The Igbo mam would still complain and will still remain miserable no matter how you dice this issue.
you they mind her,igbo's can cry eh,yoruba shud also be fighting with benin republic since we have sabe nd popo there.

Did the terminology "south east" exist before 1970?
Answer me, and lets take it on 4rm there.
U continue to shout as if igboland was the only divided territory. After the almagamation of Nigeria, There was northern nigeria only, it was later divided into 3. Immediately after amalgamation, there was nothing like north east, north west and north central region it was just northern nigeria. Same way north was divided that is same way igboland was divided into south east and south south, so why are u crying? Or u miss the oil in the South-South abi

Okay.. I believe you aren't an illiterate- so, let's do a little math.

You say I'm "always online" right?

Now:

You, Ada, have these stats:

Time registered: November 24, 2015.

Time spent online: 1 month & 13 days.

It means you have spent an average of 1/8 months of your time since registering on the forum online.

In terms of percentage, that is approximately 13% of your time ONLINE.

Me on the other hand, here are my stats:

Time registered: March 24, 2008.

Time spent online: 6 months & 13 days.

This means I've spent an average of 6/100 months of my time since registering on the forum online.

In terms of percentage, that is simply 6% of my time ONLINE!



Now Ada, place those figures side by side and think about your life for a second. Tell yourself the truth about who "spends all day on the forum" and needs the "5,000 stipend". wink

To put it simply, you have spent over twice as much time as I have online!

Can you see how smart you appear now? grin

Na so una go just carry anger dey embarrass unaselves upandan. cheesy

Pele.



Errrm, back to the matter, do you have any info on Game of Thrones S7 my dear?

Re: Why Do South East Have Only 5 States? by StOla: 7:57pm On Jul 19, 2016
Adaure4ever, you don't have a case here, there's no way a tiny dot on the Nigerian map would be further broken into more states when there are bigger and more populated states in other regions.

Also other ethnicities also exist in regions that are considered unfamiliar to those tribes and would naturally swell the states tally of their natural ethnic region if their section of the present states they belong to was to be regrouped into their ethnic region.

If this is done, the SE would still lag behind in states count despite adding 1 more state from Delta. While the SW and NW would add 2 more and the NE with 7 now will add 1 more.

Would you not still lament the situation then?

Take a good look at size of your region compared with others and tell me a single reasonable reason why we should not merge to reduce the five states to three.


States are not based based on land mass,but on population. Lagos is like half the size of the smallest Igbo state, Abia state, but the same Lagos has a population of half the entire North.

Idealy, Anioma state should be the 6th Igbo state but powers that be have refused it. Anyway, whenever regionalism returns, we Igbos are going to dissolve all 5 states and end 'divide and rule'

So Oyigbo LGA and Egbema community in Ogba Egbema/ Ndoni LGA is big enough to become a state. A state of 1 and half LGAs.

Please and please, look at the lack of "space" in Igboland and tell me why u further want to fragment the already fragmented Igbo areas. There is no space in Igboland to be pointing accusing fingers.

My muslim brother from Tivland, thank you for joining hands with we muslims of fulani and yoruba to teach the Igbos a lesson. We must oppose everything they do.

Since they don't want grazing reserves, we from SW and benue must support grazing reserves on our land. Allah Seriki!

Since the end of the civil war, The IGBO Race have been treated unfairly and unjustly by the Nigerian Government and the existence of only 5 states in the south east is an evidence of a gross injustice.
The reason why south east have not gotten another state is a plot to keep the Igbo race divided.
And it is temporarily working,
when you see a Man from Delta or Rivers who bears Okonkwo as surname, comes from an Igbo name village, Speak an Igbo dialect, Practise Igbo culture and tell you that He is NOT Igbo.
LOL, the divide and conquer strategy worked finely againsty the Igbos for now.
No nation can cheat Karma and go free!
Fairness is a treason in Nigeria, until the injustice meted against Igbos in state creation and other issues are corrected, Development will continue to run away from Nigeria shore.
- Over 100yrs of Amalgamation/Existence, Nigeria is still a 3rd world country and will continue to be an underdeveloped joke of a country if Justice and Fairness is not restored in this country.
Many innocent blood that have been shed by the descendants of Usman dan fodio are still cursing this country just like Abel blood cried unto God against Cain.
- How Can God Bless A Wicked Country?
Is it possible? Let Pharaoh continue to harden his heart, The Red Sea moment is drawing near.. God will liberate his people!

SE must have less states than others because in their minds, SE and its future offsprings must be punished forever for the last Biafran war.

That is why another war is indicated. So that those that vehemently argued for Biafran surrender and Igbo would be accepted as part of Nigeria have hopefully realized their misjudgement of the Fulani
