“Creating New States In Nigeria Is Madness”- Rapper N6 Slams Proposals

• This reaction follows a report by Daily Post that the House of Representatives has received numerous requests advocating for the establishment of 31 new states across the country.

Popular Nigerian rapper and on-air personality, Nnamdi Nwabasili, widely known as N6, has openly criticized the recent proposals for the creation of additional states in Nigeria, describing the move as senseless and counterproductive.

This reaction follows a report by Daily Post that the House of Representatives has received numerous requests advocating for the establishment of 31 new states across the country. Adding to the controversy, unverified information circulating on social media claims that the Nigerian Senate has already approved the creation of 12 new states, though no official confirmation has been provided.

Taking to his verified X (formerly Twitter) account on Friday, N6 expressed his frustration, declaring that the idea of creating more states in Nigeria’s current political and economic climate is “madness.” He argued that rather than solving existing problems, the creation of new states would only worsen the nation’s issues by increasing the number of political offices and deepening corruption.

N6 emphasized that Nigeria already struggles with excessive bureaucracy, overblown government expenditures, and widespread corruption, suggesting that adding more states would multiply these problems rather than address them.

His comments have sparked conversations online, with many Nigerians sharing similar sentiments about the inefficiency of government and the financial strain that more states could bring.

As discussions about state creation continue to unfold, citizens and political analysts alike are questioning the real motives behind the push and whether it truly serves the nation’s interests.

He wrote, “Creating 12 new states in today’s Nigeria is madness. 12 new governors and deputy governors. 12 new government house construction projects. 12 new white elephant airport projects. Lord have mercy.”
