SweetGuy225: The last national conference reached an agreement as to the problems and their solutions, what remains is the federal government implementing it. If it's not implemented as a result of arrogance, selfishness and callousness, then it will probably reach to the dreaded much-said balkanization of Nigeria. I think that the former choice is a better choice. The question, rather, now is: why is the federal government reluctant in implementing the requests and resolutions of the national conference? 4 Likes 1 Share |

Kgdavid:Yes, i think you're correct. I too am from the Niger-Delta and i believe that a united Nigeria is a better option. The so-called 'Avengers' did not actually ask for sovereignty, what they asked for is the same thing you and i want- a loose federal structure. I also agree with you that the Niger-Delta intelligentsia needs to rise to the challenge. This is a very sad situation. |

demslayerrz: The Primary 4 Pupil (Not Studen) wonders why a group of people who have so much to control still insists on living in the failed Marriage called Nigeria. Stop the Hate and let those that want regionalism have it. Stop the bitterness and think more about how you can positively manage your resources. Thanks 1 Like |

cktheluckyman: Has militancy and pipeline vandalism improves infrastructures in the SE? Has power supply in the region improved? Has militancy improved your personal income and revenue? When a bird perches on a rope, the rope will not experience comfort while the bird will never experience peace. Let's BH, kidnapping, militancy continue and let's see how PMB, Legislators, Governors and their families would be affected. 2 Likes |

originalmachine: You got it wrong. There are various taxes collected by Lagos state, same with all the states, which are remitted into the federation account, and which are being shared by all the states every month. Example of such is VAT. The only difference is that the states where the taxes are collected retain a certain percentage for themselves, based on constitutional provisions. The rest is shared by all the states in the federation. Lagos and Ogun, especially, being the most industrialized states in the country, would be a lot richer today if they were not to share what they collect as taxes, i.e Company Income tax and VAT with other states in the federation. The same goes for the ND where 13% derivation goes to all the oil producing states while the larger percentage is shared by all the states. Be knowledgeable enough about the workings of the Nigerian govt before misinforming the ignorant out there. 2 Likes |

GWMI: GEJ was not fair in his appointments either and he appealed to the yoruba obas that he will rectify it if voted back into office so all this talk of PMB not fair in his appointments is all bullshit, let's stop crying when things don't go our way. The yorubas felt marginalized under GEJ and never destroyed Govt properties to register their grievances. And if you think PMB insulted, GEJ and his wife insulted lots of folks but you guys have forgotten 2 Likes |

Faith111: What is studen? You are ignorant and i dont blame you, stop listening to the lies your elders told you under the tree. Yorubas have been the one screaming regionalism even before others, you hate Yorubas so much and still cant stop trooping to the SW. Face your leaders and stop blaming others for your misfortune, Yorubas are not the one holding you from leaving this country. Learn to hold your leaders accountable, the hatred will only consume you and your household. |

originalmachine: This is a very ignorant statement. Income tax is for States while Company tax is for the federal government. And besides, the VAT generated in Lagos is still sent to Abuja for sharing. The proceeds in Apapa ports too is still sent to Abuja for sharing too, and Lagos gets it's own cut. The problem we have in this country, and I have seen on Nairaland is that there are so many ignorant people who don't understand things for what they are; but through the lens of Sentiments and hear says.

Destroying infrastructure is not the answer because the effect is on everybody and more on the people you claim to be fighting for. Egs the Escravos electricity pipeline gives light to the terminal and surrounding villages now it's shutdown, the villages will be in perpetual darkness until this problem is fixed while Buhari and his Abuja cohorts will always have electricity. Bombing of Chevron facilities created more financial problem for me personally than for Buhari. Demand for a sovereign nation is good,I want that too but what happened to diplomatic means. We have fought this way before and they offered us amnesty and the high and mighty benefited and enriched themselves while the youths of Niger Delta go hungry.Most of our educated youths got nothing ,only armed men were recognized,the more armed you re the better. 1 Like |

Goke7:at the time they propose reps speaker Your leader Tinubu opposed it.On the appointments Goodluck gave a lot to the North since that was where was having problem then.Many tribes in the Niger Delta were also angry with him BUT that was not an excuse to betray him.You(Yorubas)were looking for a quick way to go into go back power but look at what your desperation have brought Nigerians.Can you Yorubas boldly say Buhari is ruling better than Goodluck?Now in terms of appointment apart from the Vice president you got before the election what tangible appointment have you gotten from Buhari.All the powerful and relevant appointments are in the North so what have gained so far?I feel the Yorubas have been used and dump.Thanks. 1 Like |

Omonigeriarere: There was only one way to find out, his second term but that's by the way. Bringing it to the FEC showed the government was treating the CONFAB report with the seriousness that it deserves. In the article I posted they already outlined the strategy or roadmap they would have followed to achieve implementation. Let the current government continue from where they stopped. And my friend it's a little rude cancelling other people's comments or don't you think so? 1 Like |

I dont receive any monthly stipend from government nor get free oil, even the government generates money from the Port in my home state yet some ediots are throwing insult around.
