This is the actual reason why certain people clamour for "one Nigeria '. Because without this unholy matrimony, they are useless to themselves. Look at all the' quality of life' statistics, you ll discover that one region makes it very low. If you take them out of the statistics, you will discover that Nigeria is much more healthier. They survive at the expense of others, but still claim to be masters. But then what do we do?

Despite having more population in government as well as funds given to their dozens of Local governments, plus embezzled money ;DDespite having more population in government as well as funds given to their dozens of Local governments, plus embezzled money no wonder they will die to keep the south

upon the money AkwaIbom State collects?
I was expecting the oil rich state to make top ten but its crystal clear they don't develop their states but to use the money for personal business. I'm still not surprise seeing Lagos at the top, if the last government dispensation was eko o ni baje., what should b the slogan in ambode dispensation?

With this, its very clear even to the blind why those God forsaken parasites hate the name....BIAFRA. Bcuz they know they will die of hunger the moment Biafra is decleard independent. Ndiara

^^^If only they could humble themselves and realize the precarious nature of their position within the commonwealth; and if they could jettison the misplaced sense of entitlement they have, then maybe....just maybe there's still hope yet for this country, and a workable nation can be negotiated!

GOD bless the south west(lagos,osun,ekiti,ondo,ogun and oyo)
