That's bulshit..13% derivation fund they are going to squander.. Is high time state govs they knew they executive... Should try be independent nor depending on federal govt sharing

13% fund IS going to the states, you know....

is ok check these out

9jakohai:


Into how many countries?

Plus......the minerals need to be exported by the sea...so splitting Nigeria will just raise export costs for landlocked new countries that come out of Nigeria.

Like how would the Arewa republic export their minerals? You Biafrans/Oduduwans/Ijawans/Tivians think you would let them export it through your ports for free?

Splitting Nigeria no be beans.

We can have northern and southern Nigeria
The best for now

ednut1:
linus, 90% of the mining in the north is illegal mining, but JTF wont go after them like dey do in the creeks

Hence the FG enforcing the 13% so that states can go and regulate their mining industries, and earn money in the process.

9jakohai:


That is why you Nigerians should pay more attention to what your leaders do in Abuja and the states and the LGA's.

And why don't you run for office? You could change things too.

Am changing things but not through Political office.

The 14% derivation fund given to oil producing States... What a hell are they doing with it

while the governor in ebonyi state collects 300k per truck from any buyer or ur goods will be impounded

alignacademy:


Thank you for enlightening some of us

My pleasure. I'm surprised people don't seem to read know too much about constitution or how derivation works. The Minister of Mines mentioned this fact in an interview like a few months ago. It's not about oil.

On a General view, this will pay SW states more

Yes....two NEW contrapitons OF SEVERAL TRIBES AND TONGUES from one?

With all the problems Nigeria had , now in two countries.(And the same old Muslims vs Christian divides too).

And would Southern Nigeria allow Northern Nigeria export raw materials through its ports for free? Would you?And if you don't, will that not create crisis?

And will it solve resource control issues....and domination of minority tribes by the majoirty? Shebi Igbos and Yorubas will allow Niger Delta 100% resource control?

I don't like this contraption called Nigeria....but all the alternatives are worse.

Since this Nairaland started....people come here and shout Obasanjo/Yaradua/Jonathan/Buhari.....and don't look at their states and LG...where the stealing is just as bad.

Most Nigerian worship their governor it's pathetic. They are less transperent that Federal Government. A good example is Rochas saying I'll give account for the money spent my administration spent after my term is over. The LG are being choked by governors but they are have same transpency issue.

okay.

Did you guys noticed how easy it is to arrived at this 13% derivation and its implementation without much ado? This is because most northern States are the key beneficiaries. Assuming that it's for the benefit of Niger Delta and Ndigbo now, 'land mass dichotomy', 'Senate could have waited donkey years to pass it like PIB'.

Nevertheless, it's a welcome development. But let our govt be guided with the core principles of equality, transparency, justice in the distribution of our common wealth. That's all.

Am dishing out this from the bottom of my heart


Am tired of reading all this useless news9ja una no go wake up abi until hunger kill all of us finish .

Maybe long term but for now the South States are. Most mining in North illegal mines. This revenue will help them long term channel it towards education, farming and research.

... I totally agree with you.

The bolded is why the North vehemently opposes partition today

I find it weird people seem so opposed to their state getting extra revenue. If your worried they going to waste it lobby them the fix the issue. There's solutions to problems like this.

When will. The FG pay 13 percent for the gas being exported?

I believe they already do that. I may be wrong though.

13% derivation fund given to oil producing state what are doing with it,no giant projects to justify it ,still among those owing workers salary

That is not true for all states.

Go to AKS and see what they've done.

Same for CRS when they were 'oil producing'.

Everyone picks on Bayelsa when they want to identify a state that they feel has been wasteful but that place was a backwater with no development 20 years ago. I think if we're going to talk about waste we need to talk about the big two - Rivers and Delta state. Rivers in particular has been very wasteful.

They should be getting more.

People talk about states wasting money but the FG is as bad and they do nothing justify the amount that they get.

This is good for Ogun state

They are not paying

Okay fg

How on earth can you say the alternative is worse.... There is nothing worse as what we have now... Yorubas and Igbos are shouting for resource control and restructuring right now ... What are you saying
