Nigeria was not always structured the way it is today.

From 1967… 1976… 1987… 1991… 1996…

Every time new states were created, Nigeria’s political structure changed.

But who truly benefited from these changes?

Who gained power?

Who lost influence?

And why does state creation continue to shape Nigeria’s future today?

In this video, we break down:

• The hidden politics behind state creation in Nigeria

• Why governments said they were “bringing government closer to the people”

• How power shifted from tribes and regions to states

• Why senators, allocations, and political influence now depend on states

• Why larger regional blocs became weaker over time

• The growing debate about the South-East 6th state

• Why many believe Ndigbo are playing the wrong political game

This is not just history.

This is structure.

And structure controls power in Nigeria.

Watch till the end and decide for yourself:

Who is really losing…

and who is really gaining?
