Hello Child Of Hate!

It's the oil in Akwa-Ibom state that is used in generating the funds they use in giving allocation to Lagos so its normal they get more then you.. If e pain you too much.. Go and put oil in yoruba land...

WOE UNTO GEJ

phantonce:
ooh poor little osun.
No wonder the governor whines every month.
With the reduction of the allocation,i wonder how they will cope.

CHM11:

Lagos is the second to Last of the Losers. Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwaibom and even cross Rivers lose more than Lagos. Only Edo state in the South south that is not losing higher than Lagos in terms of what you contribute to federal government purse to what you receive difference.

Internally generated revenue in Lagos stays in Lagos and I think Lagos pays tax to the federal government while the revenue generated from oil wells in the south south belongs to the federal government.

Lagos/Yoruba pipo systematically made sure that we have only one port in Nigeria residing in Lagos. its simple, dey will bear s brunt till further jotice

baby124:

What is the population of akwa ibom that they are entitled to that much money compres to Lagos? Is their allocation not that high because of derivation and natural resource? Based on the population of Lagos, we should get more money, and also we have a natural port. We should also be getting a derivation for that. I expect the Lagos senators to fight for this, and for the FG to be fair about that in this dispensation. We are entitled to a percentage of the proceeds from our port. End of story. You can't do for one state and give excuses to another. Besides we carry the weight of the country on such little allocation. What rubbish. It's an outrage.

Lagos should get no less than 500bn as we are carrying the dead weight of other states who refuse to do anything except chop money, while their people run to Lagos en mass looking for opportunity. More money must be allocated to Lagos from the other states till they get themselves right. No more slave work for Lagos. Plus we deserve 10-20% of whatever our ports bring in. That should be our own derivation

Reference:


It is still the same poor thinking and paucity of ideas in Lagos. Yes, they run to Lagos but what does Lagos do with them. Has Lagos exploited their potentials. Has it put them to work then tax their returns, no. Just the same cluelessness. In advanced economies like the US the higher populated states are usually near the top of the economic tree, slums, beggars et al, because where you have the rich, at least you need the poor to serve them. So you don't have any excuse. With right thinking leadership Lagos can operate an independent, prosperous economy from the rest of Nigeria so can every other state.

Human beings are capital. They built the infrastructure in America in the 50's and 60's. They built the enormous war machine of the 40's before that. Your excuse is like a man with 10 wives, 30 children qnd acres of land. He either sees it as a blessing or curse, the children as an asset or liability, the land as a farm or an agonizing over grown bush he needs to constantly keep in check. People with the allocation attitude and entitlement mentality will never see proper resources when they have them. Oil.is a curse. It has deadened our thinking and made leadership such a tall order.

Better call your local leaders to order because the day big oil ends, we will be eating each other out of starvation.

OperationIgrigi:
**grins** With all the money yoruba states enjoy, they still the have lowest standard of living down in the south. No region in the south have more beggars than Oyo alone. Yet it is in the top 10 cup- in-hand collector of oil allocation. What an irony, what a shame. SMH.

lovat:
the FG needs to build ports in SE/SS to allow cargoes that are to berth in Lagos to berth there. Lagos is just being burdened with ports because the FG refused to do the needful maybe cos of sentiments

Naughtysite:


Some Nigerian leaders are devil sent. The most annoying aspect is when they annex the state radio stations to sing their praises from morning till evening.

Bunch of devilish iliiterates. So damn heartless.. Even if they don't pay out stipends to the poor, they should at least raise infrastrucral development to a very high standard.

You will still see open sewers, pilled up public waste bins, potholes on popular roads. God have mercy..

It huts real bad when we find out that this entire sum is only less than 50 percent of money available. The federal government handles over 50 percent.

Nobody said so. Compare a big state like Lagos and Bayelsa of even Akwa Ibom, you will see that Lagos works better with their Federal allocations

CHM11:

Because you are like most northern states, you bring nothing at all to the federal account, you just take take and take. Your population is also small that's why you receive less charity.

I think your governor should strive and work more for IGR.

If this is true,i find it hard to believe. Considering the infrastructure and the high level of poverty in my state,Delta state. I find this hard to believe. I spent 15 years in the United State. The very moment I visited Delta state Nigeria I wept. I didn't spend more than 3 days there. I think Siberia is better than most states in Nigeria.

Goes back to the saying: 'when the head is bad, the entire body rots!' Lets see what Aboki Buhari will accomplish. Nigeria only needs to strengthen its anti-corruption institutions. An absolute 0% tolerance to corruption will change the course of this nation.

If Buhari can squash corruption...he will save this country. And talking about crushing corruption, we need real crazy fearless Nigerians like General Umar, Falana, Oshiomole, and someone like myself

why would Akwa Ibom with less than 5 million population, rivers and delta be collecting more than lagos with over 20 million population?
You left your state to come and overpopulate lagos for us and ua still ranting.

Tell him to quit whining and put on his thinking cap! Is there no means at all for the generation of wealth in his state?

You see, these governors have grown fat and lazy from waiting for manna to fall from the federal government. He'd better get off his lazy and thieving arse and get to work if not he's gonna end up with a years' worth of salary arrears in respect to his workers or get absorbed by a better faring state (don't get your heckles up, just telling it like it is).

Nigeria is just like a father that keeps birthing children that are stubborn, lazy, refuse to go to school, fight their parents, no handwork learnt and in their adult years still expect the ageing father to keep feeding them and when he (father) complains of being broke thanks to his own gross mis-management of his earnings (he works with a multinational oil firm and he's well paid) the shameless son starts whining and throwing tantrums. The name of this particular child is is Osun and there are over 20 others like him? God help the father.
