It is the issue of Asaba as the capital of Delta State that is compelling the divisions in the state.
In recent months another "learned professor" from the southern portion of the Delta State expressed the view that for as long as the state capital remains at Asaba, it would be unfair to have the Governor from the same area.

None of the neighboring states of West or Central Africa approaches the total level of Nigerian population or the densities found in the areas of greatest concentration in Nigeria.
