I see no reason why some desert states in the north should get more allocations than Abia, Imo, Cross river and Edo(Which are oil producing states) and why the hell is ebonyi the least. Even Zamfara gets more than Ebonyi and Ekiti. I pity the south-east in this country.

December 2011 monthly allocation fron the Federation Account, from the highest to the lowest. I divided the states into two; Upper 18 and lower 18. All the states in the South East are in the Lower 18.

Because North makes things happened in Nigeria today. Even GEJ is just a toy in aso rock, remote controlled by powers from the north. North is Nigeria no north no Nigeria.Forget the fact that oyel wells are in your backyard

The fact that the northern cabals are losing grip of that control is why they are making the country reall ungovernable,coupled with gej inability to root out corrupt animals like bankole,atiku,ibb and co. Malu hearders can never rule nigeria again. If a notherner must be in that position,he must be clearly a progressive one not rogue malu rearers like atiku,ibb,ciruma and co

Well one Nigeria abi?

Have you forgotten Ndigbo led Biafra was defeated in a war? If you take a closer look at statistic on sheet you posted, there exists a calculated strategy to grant compensation for those who helped prosecute the war, gimmick to sustain the spirit of sabotage among certain states and maintain economic strangulation of Ndigbo. Nigeria fought the war because of crude oil.

Only a foolish Igbo person will think Biafra war has ended.

You are always on point my broda

@ 9ja_I_hail and ak47mann
Thanks Bros.

I have made myself life-member of any organization that agitates for peaceful disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria. In fact, I do not give a hoot if the portion of my country is solely arid and erosion-threatened real estate as long as the nation controls its resources.

And what does the SE contributes to Nigeria besides kidnapping and armed robbery ? The whole of the region is a shithole that has been abandoned since ibos have moved to yorubaland and hausaland.So who exactly should get the money when y'all are living outside the region ?

That's like asking what the SW contribute outside thuggery and robbery with their agbero/alaye culture.

For your info, despite our mass desertion of our homeland (as mugs like you love to stress), the SE has Nigeria's highest population density.

YES WE KNOW THAT YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE THOUGHT NIGERIA IS YOUR BIRTH RIGHT BUT I AM HERE TO ANNOUNCE TO YOU THAT THE POWER HAS SHIFTED FROM THE HAND OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR.

North is Nigeria no north no Nigeria

You are yet to tell me what exactly your landlocked region contributes to Nigeria.Hausas get border,they get cash crops,wetin una get ?

Are you this dumb?

You have an attitude of asking question with question ? Is that an ibo culture ? Tell me what your despicable region region contributes to Nigeria to warrant more revenue .

The monthly allocation formula is based on two things:

1.  Population
2.  Whether the state in question is an oil producing state

Very few Igbos live in the Southeast.  Igbos are mercantile people who are located where customers are.  As a result of this, the Southeast's allocation is lower because the population there is not high.  Everything doesn't have to descend to tribal bashing.

Your other ibos will refuse to see this but instead yarn rubbish and whine as usual.If iboland is deserted,why should the region get more revenue then ?

The treachery of the situation is that while Igbos for example make up to 30-35% of Kano, they are not counted as such.

This list is really an ugly sight to behold. Nigeria stinks! real bad!

What a deluded lapper. Please cast off the inherent cowardice and join the progressives in demand for a disintegrated Nigeria.

Believe me, a liver-hearted junkyard punk such as you can not tie the shoe strings of kidnappers and armed robbers. At least, it takes a strong heart to pull off the stunt they perform.

I guess strongly that the parents who hold biological rights on you as a ward really need refunds from schools where they presumably spent some money on your scholarship. It really sucks to be you.

If you guys are successful in what you know how to do,why the agitation for increased allocation then ? I thought enterprenuership is ibo watchword not free money from Abuja ? ??

@DedeTheDrunk: If the bolded is true, you hate spreading mongrel,  DIDNT PRESENT DAY EDO STATE FIGHT AGAINST BIAFRA, Yet its among the very first states listed by the op.

Dont let unnecessary hate devour you, you useless old man. Respect your age, you dont have to keep acting your shoe size. Illiterate.

GAR3TH:

We had this discussion many times on  NL, the south east is smaller than kaduna state but yet receives 3 or 4 times more allocation than kaduna state. so in terms of land the south east receives more allocation per square mile/km than the north. If you then want to break it down by population of states, you'll find that all states, excluding the oil producers, receive about the same allocation per capital.

a state that has 1 million people and get 2 million in allocation is better off than a state with 10 million people and 3 million in allocation

It should be about population and not land mass. How do you allocate money for land that is occupied by forests and animals. And why are oil states such as Abia, Edo and Cross river in the bottom of the pecking order?

I think every state should be allowed to control it's resources.

You are really not true son of soil or ward of your parents. Ndigbo do not want any kobo from Abuja. Rather they want a nation where they could judiciously control the sell of the sands from their nation. I hope by now you realized Alaigbo is arid and sandy.

they av to budget more for states with larger land mass be it forest or not because linking two points or locations with roads network will require more KM or lengthier roads to be tarred which in turn cost more money.
Also for health and education, more schools and hospital need to be built across such land mass to aid their accessibility.
As for the oil producing states u mentioned, the oil revenue allocation is calculate by what each state contributes i.e 13% of total contribution from onshore oil pumped out each state.

it doesnt take a strong heart to be an armed robber or kidnapper. it takes a criminal dark heart and mind and a willingness to die in your lifestyle of crime and perversion.

So, why's Lagos in 4th position considering the fact that it has the smallest land mass in the federation.

@ Bluetooth
with all due respect bro, you are not making any sense here. must you bad mouth other people's region simply because they raised an important issue that is affect their lot. pls, no bigot here, if u feel you cant make a meaningful contribution to the discourse, i suggest you move to romance section.

Stop tripping and answer the simple question.what does an abandoned, desert and gully-ravaged iboland contribute to Nigeria to warrant an increase in federal allocation ?

Hahahahahahahahaha if I'm not the son of my father,na who come born me ? You ?

The allocation is based on population largely.

So if a significant number of SEasterners live outside of their region, who is the allocation you are clamouring for now meant to serve

Pull the official population of Nigeria and you would discover than SE is one of (if not) the least populated region
