Just a hunch....... you're from the SE, smallest landlocked region in Nigeria. 50% erosion, 50% dust. Not economically viable. No seaport. Not agriculturally viable, else you wouldn't have lied about hawking ugwu. The most neglected region in the South. The region that offers nothing to Nigeria, but claims "SS/SE" oil - even though SE produces 3% oil, while SS produces more than 60% of Nigeria's oil. The only majority group that needs to attach itself to an oil-producing minority group before they can have a sense of relevance.

Just a hunch jare.

I'm proud to be from the SW, a region that controls more than 80% of Nigeria's non-oil producing revenue.

It's embarrassing that SE, a region so small and requires less resources to develop, is second to the North in backwardness.

KevinDein:
you know one amazing thing about the Igbos, their unmatched ability to manufacture lies and actually believe them.
Your post, I reckon this is what most of you igbos who have never crossed the river Benue believe, eh?
Good lord, just look at the load of bullcrappp this young lady has managed to string in one post.
I humbly doff my cap for you ma'am.

Why then are my Igbo brothers clamouring for more states when the whole of SE is not as big as the smallest state in the North.

Imagine Ebonyi +Imo+ Abia is not as big as my Delta sef.

Clinton9000:
Most ahithophels aka Yorubbas actually think Lagos is big especially when they bring SE in the equation. Not knowing that the smallest state in SE...Anambra is 3x of Lagos in actual landmass considering half of Lagos is water. If Lagos houses nearly 30 million today at only 20% usage of its actual landmass, Anambra will house over 200 million at 20% usage of its landmass with existing high-rise building plan. It's currently only at 10% usage!

Quick facts for the Ahithophels
Israel is only the size of Cross river at roughly 20,770 km² yet powerful and successful.
Luxembourg is only 2,590 km² which half of Anambra yet successful.

The guy below is an illiterate...doesn't know the difference between a nominal landmass and actual landmass. Lagos Nominal landmass is 3345km2 but Actual landmass excluding water is 1670km2. HALF OF LAGOS STATE IS WATER. ONLY 1/8 OF ANAMBRA IS WATER!

omg....u anambra people are sooooo insecure!!!'how did dis ur stupid discussion enter his thread. must u always drag nonsense??'if Lagos is water, is Anambra not the most erosion-laden state in Nigeria. I dey shame for u, u lack sense!! And yes I'm proudly igbo![/s]!

gartamanta:
Switzerland is just roughly as big as Abia and Enugu States but has a GDP of $650 Billion

As Big as Nigeria is, it has a GDP of just $500 Billion.

Switzerland is far richer and more productive than Nigeria even though Switzerland has just a population of 8 million people.

The lesson here is that nobody cares about your landmass and population, it is all about what you have to offer.

Only Delta Central Senatorial District (Delta Central landmass is approximatly 5300sqkm) is bigger than d whole of Anambra State in landmass. Goin by dis fact, nd wit our rich abundant human nd natural resources, d Urhobo Nation deserv to hav dia own state which shuld exclud other tribes. Infact, we ar even qualified to form an independent country of our own.

This is the best comment here...some people are just too insecure about everything

Pavore9:


As you compare the two smallest states Lagos and Anambra with citing that half of Lagos is water, you note that not every square inch of Anambra is habitable as there are areas dealing with the erosion menace likewise communities that are flood plains.

Take Nkwoaku in Achalla town for example, that area is thousands of hectares but a flood plain as it gets to some months during the course of the year the water level become neck-deep and from October it begins to recede and becomes dry from late November till about April. This is borne from personal experience there as l was involved in some Agric projects there for 2 years.

Size is not the issue but the output. Lagos which is the smallest State is still almost 5 times the size of Singapore which is a first world economy!

See the North with about 80% of the Country's landmass but their ignorance convinces them that they must destroy farms in the South in order to feed their cows. When knowledge is not linked to natural resources it becomes worthless.

Your comments does not make any sense.

You do not divide federating districts by land mass. The vast majority of the North is occupied by nothing else but empty space, land mass, etc.

Try looking up the GDP of the Northern States vs that of the Southern States.

This is how states are divided up in most other countries....e.g. Alaska in the US is more than 12x bigger than New York State and more than more than 80x bigger than New Jersey State....but New York States GDP is more than 11x bigger than that of Alaska's and New Jersey's is more than 4x bigger than that of Alaska.

Giving more states to the North, means diverting more Nationally Resources to them compare to Southern States that puts more money into the federal government coffers and that have more population centers.

emtol:
Imagine the whole of South-East is smaller than Niger state and some people somewhere will calling for new state in their region cry marginalization where it does exist.

Mr man will you quit cheatbeating already. And what do you mean with the bolded?

kickhard:


My own question is "why should any sane person think of establishing grazing reserve in the states with the smallest land mass when dozens of such reserves can be created in other spme states without encroaching inhabited areas of causing more pain and strain among indigenous dwellers"?
