Talk:Local government areas of Nigeria

message: In order to readily distinguish local government areas from settled places, I propose renaming all of the local government areas as "Foo Local Government Area" as :Aba North and :Eleme, Rivers were formerly named.  This would relieve us of any further need to disambiguate Nigeria's local government areas.  It has the further advantage that it alerts the reader that they are now reading about a city or town, but a (usually) larger area.  In those cases where a LGA is fully urbanized, it would automatically distinguish the town from the LGA.  In the cases where LGAs have the same name as a people or tribe, or a language, this would automatically make that distinction. --Bejnar (talk) 19:34, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Renaming proposal

message: The Map of Nigeria outlining its states and LGAs shows 12 LGAs for Edo State. However, the writer lists 18 LGAs. Is this the most up-to-date map of the current LGAs of Edo State?  nik (talk) 00:59, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

message: What are LCDAs? I see them mentioned on a bunch of Lago LGA articles, but it's never explained what they are, whether they are formal administrative divisions or simply statistical divisions. Criticalthinker (talk) 09:33, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Criticalthinker these are formal administrative divisions created at the State level e.g. in Lagos and Nasarawa, but are not recognized by the Grundnorm i.e. the Nigerian Constitution, 1999 (as amended). BroVic (talk) 16:59, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @BroVicAre there any links to the law on this; anything that can be used as a source? Are they subdivisions of LGAs, or are they independent of and can cross LGA boundaries? This seems like something worth of either its own article, or a pretty substantial section in the LGA article. I notice on some Lagos LGA pages - such as the Lagos Island or Eti-Osa LGA articles - it speaking to how part of an LGA was "split off" as a LCDA or how the LGA only covers "part of the island," but that doesn't sound like the right or accurate way to describe it, right? --Criticalthinker (talk) 06:40, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
