Nice move. Point No.2 is most important and addresses the most disturbing issue with our power structure, the fed should give back some responsibility to the states and the states should be ready to co-operate where the need may arise. |

Oga Beaf, how ur own come be like this now? Must u market urself always. . . PARASITE!!! |
Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by Gbawe: 9:50pm On Feb 02, 2012 |
sheyguy: Indeed. Even as it is SW Governors who have made this call formally, it is high time less money is used to maintain the centre in favour of all Nigerian States. Afterall, as has been stated a billion times, Nigerians live and work in States of the federation. The priority of any sensible Government should be the drastic reduction of federal largesse to provide a vitally important tier of the federation with more money to meet the needs of Nigerians. As you posit, 2 is very important but that means less avenues of bureacracy that facilitates self-aggrandizement for those in the federal government. It would certainly take selfless and genuinely visionary leadership at federal level to supervise a transition that concedes more power to the States even if, inevitably, that is the right thing to do. The idea of a secretariat is very good also because if lends a formal committment to brainstorm and act upon the consideration that States must come together to secure accelerated progress through mutual cooperation and benevolent interdependence. |

[size=15pt] LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS![/size] What is their contribution to the Federation Account? What are they bringing to the table? It is this kind of things you see the On a more serious note, it is obvious that Edo and Ondo State reluctantly attended the film show (make ee no be like say dem no go na). The way Oshiomole is distancing himself from those acn clowns is funny, while Mimiko is in a world of his own as he Is obviously bigger than ACN. Oshiomole should be careful, because Edo peeps are beginning to hate ACN with a passion, if him no take time we go sack am and go back to the notorious PDP (funny enough, all the rogues in Edo PDP are now the so called ACN in Edo State) |

There is no way the governors of other regions would keep feed others while the ones with the least population gets the highest allocation Let everyone go back to their region. |
Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by Gbawe: 3:23am On Feb 03, 2012 |
alj harem: It would help if we all try to understand issues before we speak. I respond to your post becuase you are not in the category of those who see "Yoruba" or "SW" to begin foaming at the mouth due to a combination of functional illiteracy and the sort of myopic hatred that blinds reasoning and waste much of a man's life. They are simply ruining this forum with their feudalistic crap. This call from the SW Governors is one all Governors, from all corners of Nigeria, have made at one stage or the other. We should familiarise ourselves with the allocation formula and with the position Governors, including those from our respective States, have taken before we speak. As things stand the FG , from allocation, gets 52%, States get 26.72% and 20.60% is shared amongst 774 local Government Areas. Governors feel this is unfair and rightly so given that the allocation to the FG does not reflect the federal structure and real needs of the tiers of our federation. This has nothing to do with laziness or someone feeding another. It is primarily about a hideously bloated and ineffective centre doing the right thing and providing more money for the tiers of the federation most responsible for the development and wellbeing of all Nigerians. This is a call for the FG to make more available for all States and all Governors back this call yet sheer hatred will not allow some to look beyond the mention of the "SW" to understand the substantive issue. http://allafrica.com/stories/201111141047.html Nigeria: As States Face 'Cash' Crunch |

Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by Jilo83(m): 9:27am On Feb 03, 2012 |
average nigerians are tribalistic in their reasoning. How on earth u call those govs lazy? The major problem of nigeria is nigerian. |
Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by Demdem(m): 9:32am On Feb 03, 2012 |
Honestly, the center (FG) is too powerful and the most useless (some of the governors are useless too). Not responsible at all to the needs of the Nigerian people as it is for now. I support the govs call for more funds to be given to the states. |
Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by Nobody: 9:32am On Feb 03, 2012 |
Instead of seeking for better allocations, they should try and see how much they can generate internally. Asking for more money would give room for laziness. They should try and manage the little they have and think of ways in generating more. I was in warri few days ago and believe me when I say the people and fucking lazy. Before you construct a road, you'd touts of different kind starting from their chiefs to the smallest baby would block the road demanding for money before fixing their roads. This mentality of oil money has made the people lazy. Instead of 100% dependence on oil, let's start looking at other means of revenues. Assuming Nigeria divides today how would you generate revenue should be the question because you would not be seeing the oil south. |
Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by Nobody: 10:03am On Feb 03, 2012 |
lucenzo: Political Science 101 NL style. The vast majority of Nigerian states remain underdeveloped because there's simply not enough money to develop infrastructure that would attract citizens to those states making IGR a tad easier. Why do you think the likes of Lagos & Rivers can generate as much as they do ? |
Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by jmoore(m): 10:09am On Feb 03, 2012 |
These governors always like to suck b-r-e-a-s-t milk, be mature and eat meat. There is a possibility at present for a state to generate revenue more than the Federal government of Nigeria but they see nothing. The second problem is that most of the allocation are lost to corruption and mismanagement. |
Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by sheyguy: 10:13am On Feb 03, 2012 |
lucenzo:fashola is not driving them away because he is reasonable. If he drive non indigenes out nothing is going to change. If any foreigner thinks he is doing Lagos a favour let him tell where he hails from and i will prove to him native lagosian are the reason lagos is what it is. |

On aburi we stand! Some people mouth de lick like basket wey carry wata. When Biafra advocated a loose centre and stronger viable regions, dem no gree. They killed millions to maintain the status quo, starving shildren to death and called it legitimate. Today, today, dem de beg for more allocation. The status quo no good for dem. I no go curse pesin becos my Mama train me well. FG please carry go. |
Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by sheyguy: 10:35am On Feb 03, 2012 |
For those us directly or indirectly calling these governors names, what the governors are advocating for is not exactly more money per se but more responsibility and the allocation that goes with it. If for example the fed gives power and health back to the states then chances are that the likes of Akpabio, Fashola, Adams, katsina / kwara state governor and other performing ones will manage those sectors better and bad governance will be better exposed. If u look at Bayelsa and Akwa ibom carefully the developement stride in Akwa ibom is an eye-opener to the bad governance in Bayelsa because they both get similar allocation from the Federal govt and bayelsa has approx one-third (1/3) the population and responsibilty of Akwa ibom but less to show for it. The allocation will affect all. The proposal of these governors are even more tempting given that the fed govt has become the food basket of the ruling party. |

Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by expert555: 11:01am On Feb 03, 2012 |
Please lets analysed what they are saying they said they want more money and more responsibility. In fact the inept federal government should give Electricy generation to the states so they can pursue this area where the federal goverment have failed wholefully. Another important issue if more money are allocated to the states who are close to the people the federal government will not having much money for the Hausa/Fulani to die for. The reason why those bastard Hausa/Fulani want the central power by all means is resources control which comes with money. Come to think about it the chance of tribal political party like ACN winning the central government is ZERO so if the states have so much money what is the need for contesting the Presidency as if their life depends on it. The federal government should give more money and responsibility to the states to checkmate the bastard Hausa/Fulani animals if Nigeria is to remain as one it will stop the blood shed the cessation will bring. This is not necessary mean I'm scared of war, in fact this the right time to fight war with the animal Haua/Fulani, the igbos lost the last war because of lack of weapons with the way things stands the west will be happy to oblige because the Muslims are the poo of the world. They will not get poo from no one, even Russians have them in Chechnians so every one hates them. |

They seriously need to stop waffling,if they are really serious about changing things how much of the 'booty' received so far have been used properly,how much resources have been devoted to Agriculture and education(our strong points). There's no western region, there's the west and the former midwest! What's the point of always kissing up to people who view your actions with huge suspicion,the governors need to really sit down and stop faffing about. They should use that energy on kicking pdp out of Kwara.Kwara to me is far more strategic and important to the commonwealth but how well are they doing in the states they have already. What's happening to Olokola FTZ port that maybe give far more benefit to Ogun/Ondo,they need to sort that out. Those who refer to us as parasite may actually have a point now if those who are supposed to chart a new course for our people are beginning to sound confused(though the oil doesn't belong to baba enikan!). They are looking more like Pdp to me!It's so unacceptable cos they have all proved themselves in their personal lives. Fiddlestick! |
Re: Southwest Governors Seek Better Allocation From Federation Account. by Gbawe: 11:34am On Feb 03, 2012 |
sheyguy: This is a good point. Unreasonable and unfair for all Nigerian States to remain stagnant because of a corrupt, inept and gradualist centre. A reforming President will realise that weakening the centre, fiscally and duty-wise, will have many far reaching positive and developmental advantages. The desperate clamour to gain power at the centre will reduce drastically if more money and responsibilities are handed to States. When States recieive more money and are given more responsibilities (eg allowed to source their own power solution completely, develop their natural resources endowment and authorised to provide their own police force et al ) then it will be very obvious which States lag behind even when truly empowered. Healthy competition will set in to replace what we have currently whereby indolent and corrupt Governors are able to hide behind the FG as explanation for the failure to develop their State. |
