Why Are These States Referred To As North Central States? by royalamour(m): 2:39am On Feb 01, 2018
According to geography, a place can either fall north or south.
What baffles me is the north central thing.

Kogi, Benue, Abuja, Plateau, Kwara, Niger and Nasarawa.

What is north central? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Please anybody with an explanation to this?

Please help my ministry.

You never heard of south central Los Angeles. Have you heard of the mid west United States (Also called North central til 1984)? It's a simple term to describe region nothing more.

Everything is just about political divide. Take a look at crossriver and Akwa-Ibom State and ask why are they not called southeast. Geographically they should be SE.

Everything we in the East cry. North has 3 geo-political zone, North-West, North-East and North-Central. Then South has 3 geo-political zone also, South-West, South- East and South-South. But we in South are still complaining when it's equal number of zones. And come to think of it someone said it's politics and doesn't agree to have North-Central because South does not have South Central my question is does North have North- North like we have South -South. Some arguments are becoming childish, laced with stupidity and lack substance.

Boss Abeg Taraba na North East oo. Na Nassarawa b north central.
For ur question, these States are called NC just for political gain by the north. The indigenes of these state prefer being referred to as middle belt

These states belong to the north period. They must be oppressed and be lorded over by the fulanis until they wake up from their slumber. The Fulanis are not done with them yet.

Geographically they are in the SE
Geo-politically, they are classed as SS

They are termed geo-political zones, geographic location wasn't the only consideration made when grouping the states.

The same way you prayed for the people of the MB, let me also say the same prayer for you! undecided It is you and your people that will be oppressed for life by the Fulanis. Oya, say Amen!

Hmm... didnt know the SW had many tribes.

I guess the idea was to group all the minority tribes of the SS area together, thats the logic behind having Cross Rivers in the SS instead of SE.
