I hope this is a joke, do we really need more state governors? More people to justify stealing from his/ her people? Are the people of Nigeria really clamoring for more states? People are too afraid to gather at bus stations in the country's capital, I don't see any of our leaders (including the President) being passionate about the safety of the Nigerian people but they want more states. The leaders of Nigeria should really get their priorities straight.

We have lot of things to be created like employment,good road infrastructures not states,infact they all know this. those old men and women should be careful oo they are just looking for ways to embezzle our money.
