Members of the ongoing National Conference holding in Abuja yesterday July 3rd while deliberating on the report of the committee on political restructuring and forms of Government in Nigeria, endorsed the creation of 18 new states to add to the existing 36 states. They also endorsed the rotation of the Presidency between the North and South and other Geo-political zones in the country.

The members suggested the creation of a state for the South-East geopolitical zone which has only 5 states in order to bring the number to 6 which is the number of states of other zones, apart from the North -West, which has seven. Continue...


Some of the proposed states approved by the Confab are Apa from Benue State, Kainji from Kebbi, Katagum from Bauchi, Savannah from Borno, Amana from Adamawa, Gurara from Kaduna, Ghari from Kano, Etiti from South East, Aba from Abia, Adada from Enugu, Njaba-Anim from Anambra and Imo,  Anioma from Delta State, Orashi from Rivers State, Ogoja from Cross River State, IJebu from Ogun State and New Oyo State from the present Oyo State.

The Conference is to later determine the names of the remaining two other states and their capitals, which are to be created in the South-South and South West zones. If approved by the Presidency, the number of states in the Country would now be 54.

The conference members also voted for the rotation of the Presidency between the North and South and also between the geo-political zones. They also voted against the immediate swearing-in of a Vice President into the office of the President should a sitting President die in office or be impeached.

They proposed that a Vice President should be sworn in as Acting President for 90days within which a fresh election for a new President should be held. 

The delegates also agreed that the old national anthem, “Nigeria we hail thee…” should be replaced with the current one.

"Some of the Chibok girls are being raped and shot at on camera" - Nigerian senator claims

Senator Ahmed Zanna, who represents Borno Central in the Senate, was a guest on Sahara TV a while back where he made shocking revelations about the missing Chibok girls. He said over 500 women, including the Chibok girls, have so far been abducted and some of the girls have been raped and shot at on camera. What he said below...

"Actually the information I am getting, some of them are very disturbing. Although I don't want to mention but they are just raping the girls you know in camera and even showing them on video, releasing it to the public. You know somebody told me that they are being raped and in turn, it is the girl who was raped that came down and was seen kneeling down, begging the man to be patient. Do you know the reason why?....

They say when they rape them, they shoot them so therefore the girl after been raped, she curled down to the man, kneeling down and begging him to please be patient. Continue..

So disturbing. Although I didn't see the video, but the person who narrated to me said he had the video and he was narrating to me, look at the situation and then the other scenario is that the Boko Haram are now out of fund, they are not getting enough food, so they are going from one village to another, taking the little the villagers have and going away and infact most of the villagers are now out and have moved out of their villages and have moved to cities and gone into neighboring countries. So more or less they don't have any chance of getting food so I don't know what they are going to do if food is not available. Are they going to sacrifice to give it to the girls? And then the other information I have is because you know the kidnap is a continuous process which they have been doing before the 200 and after the 200. So in their possession there are up to 500 or over 500 women who are been taken from the streets, on the main roads where they are traveling or go to the villages and collect them or you know all kinds of abductions"
