But Buhari advocated and promised to implement it in 2011. We have having so many challenges that should naturally be solved with FF in place.

barcanista:
I don't think so. The so-called Amnesty was the idea of the Yaradua Government and not part of the demands in the ND. It was meant to calm nerves of agitators and not to bring real time solution to the marginalised oil producing states. The program has been on for 7years and it has proven not to even be the solution. With Fical Federalism, nobody or group will have the moral right to cry "marginalisation" or demand extra benefit. Not even the agitators. If they do, they pitch themselves against the local populace and that will mean the beginning of their end.

barcanista:
Why not if a better deal like Fiscal Federalism is on the table?

PassingShot:


Nah! It's not and can never be the ONLY way out.

PassingShot:


You surely know that for FF to happen, the NASS has a bigger role to play.

What I have stated, which I maintain is that it cannot be the only way out. If GMB/APC shows sincere commitment to the numerous challenges of all the federating zones and marshal out plans to resolve them, we will not be clamouring for FF.

Well, i sit as an audience to watch the event and things dat will happen when#babaonechance took over the office
mayb he has plans for us, who knows?
Bt all dsame sha, i pray it will not result to anoda tin else

barcanista:
The Amnesty program will not be necessary if the government implement FF. In fact, with FF, ND Ministry and NDDC should be scrapped along with the "Amnesty".

OK

Tell us another path

barcanista:
FF is the long term solution to our problems. However, it will need constitutional amendment for it to scale through which cannot be done in the immediate though the process can be started immediately. If he can show commitment to the numerous challenges and meet the expectation of people, the people can/will trust him and less pressure will be on his government

I support fiscal federalism, but what about our south eastern brothers?

Perfect


Once true federalism is implemented, amnesty Nddc etc should waka go

I wouldn't be doing my conscience any good if I ignored this thread just as I do every other initiated by this op.

Still trying hard to promote a useless blog.

May I never progress in my life if I ever click on that link.

Reality is finally hitting a home run with the purveyors of the killer party ripping themselves apart. FFK, David Mark, Muazu, Olisa Metuh, all of them throwing lethal jabs at eachother. Their online scumscrubbers have no choice but to tone down their inane rhetoric and turn into unsolicited advisers.

This is one veiled little baby step in trying to return back to the fold of progress minded individuals. Your antics aren't gonna fly boy. Look for another lease of life. There would be no protection or ministerial aide position for you here.

Save all your advice for the many PDP minions like yourself on this forum. Hard times lie ahead for you lot. You would need those economic advice more than ever.

And the Niger Deltans will get back to square one where the process started. Where leaders will embezzle most of the money and tell you the money is not enough because other states are sharing it with you. You guys should insist on good governance for once. These governors are too corrupt to effect any development in their states even with 100% derivation

Thanks to you Op for the write up...Buhari should run a government devoid of propaganda like most APC states and shun vindictiveness...

Now to you; obi4eze : Was Jonathan that plunged all APC states into mind boggling debts...with little or nothing to show for those debts...

Passingshot, if only you understand what constructive criticism is...maybe to you it is only massaging the ego of ruling party through subtle advise as this...otherwise it is met by insults and blackmail by you and fellow minions...

What do you think was the problem with the NDDC & co? The name or the characters within? Until the SS stops to glorify thugs, militants, bunkerers and looters like Tompolo, Orubebe,,Dokubo etc. as regional leaders, the looting, impunity and mismanagement that has plagued and ruined these interventionist agencies will still manifest in whatever fiscal structure you desire.

How does Fiscal Federalism affects SE negatively.

Was it the APC governors that borrowed the monies for the FG?

If Awolowo had rule Western Nigeria on the present fiscal system , do you think he would have achieve anything .


True federalism is better

Whynotthetruth:



I am for good governance not blackmail like you do mostly here hence I pointed out your hypocrisy to you...Rochas of Imo state, Aregbesola of osun state etc has messed up the state treasuries notwithstanding Rochas huge allocation while aregbesola gets a modest allocation as compared to states in their cadre like Anambra which isn't an oil producing state yet but doing far better than these APC states with no single debt and is even increasing salary of its workforce by 15% more in the midst of so-called scarcity...

When these APC states mess up, instead of the masses holding them accountable as grassroot government, they shift the blame to FG to hide their lack of leadership and sincerity to electorates...To me, What reason has Rivers state to borrow and even owe workers Lagos state has no reason borrowing as much as it is doing now with nothing to show for it eg $1Billion loan for light rail whose delivery date was July 2013. Till now, there's nothing to show for it and the loan is there to be repaired...But APC and its minions can't see such...they only see Jonathan...ndonu

Rawani:


No doubt, I agree. Nigeria however in its current state is not sustainable practicing FF. Putting the cart in the correct order entails complete diversification of the economy is first pursued and attained with a sustainable framework for exploitation of each regions resources such that there will be no necessity for the "special fund" the OP recommended for struggling states, and there will be healthy economic competition among regions.
