Ilorin Jebba road need urgent attention, if a pregnant woman ply that road she will give birth immediately she reach home. Mokwa Bida road I don't believe it was justified because the last time I went to Minna for my convocation contruction was going on, well maybe finishing touches because TERACTA did a great job there but don't know if they finshed that road. |

Ecoterrorism: In as much as I'm unapologetic about my Yoruba identity and I'm passionate about who I'm, unlike some confused folks who live in a bubble, where they feel more attached to a fictitious nationality - I don't have time for tribal supremacy battle and there's nothing tribal here. Objectively, if we're to break this down, based on what Nigeria ought to be, if the whole country were to be homogeneous - you would see that the budget is a fair one. I think only folks viewing it from a prism of bigotry and along tribal fault-lines would say otherwise. When you look at the migration pattern of the country, and how lopsided it's, with most folks going towards the SW and Lagos being the centre for everything - you'd see why the SW should get the largest chunk. When you look at the SE for example, it's mostly homogeneous, with more outward migration, to other parts. You can't compare the pressure on infrastructures in that region to the SW. Ditto all the other regions. Then you've got the Lagos factor, where everything in Nigeria goes through. And to get to Lagos, you've to go through almost all the other SWern states. Furthermore, you've a case whereby Lagos, which happens to be the smallest state in Nigeria, and based on population distribution across the country - shouldn't have more than 4 million people - with over 20 million people. Once you start doing the maths objectively, you'll actually see that the SW deserves more FG presence based on the Lagos factor alone and at least 50% of everything by the FG should be allocated to the SW. The SW has been subsidising others for too long, with nothing in return, hence all the states are heavily indebted. And something has to give cos the region can't keep carrying everyone's burden on its head. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

SirShymexx:using your parameters can you say the people of London have been "subsidising" the Scottish or Welsh who live and work in london. Lagos is a former federal capital and I can authoritatively tell you that the money from oil was used to develop it to this stage. Don't talk about offshore oil well because the SC has gave a judgement which made states like Akwa ibom to be the richest oil producing state cos of offshore oil wells. I think you need to desist from all these because I was there once upon a time and it never had a happy ending for me. It saps out the good in you |

Ecoterrorism: Well, London subsidises not just Scotland and Wales, but everywhere else in the UK. The GDP of London is about a quarter of the UK's GDP and higher than Turkey's GDP, hence London always take the largest chunk of the UK's budget. Oil money play a role in the development of Lagos, just as it did in the development of all the states in the federation. However, claiming that oil money is primarily responsible for the development of Lagos is utterly disrespectful to the prime location of the state and its cosmopolitan history. Lagos state was NEVER the capital of Nigeria - Lagos Island and a few parts of Lagos were. And the other parts were under the Western region. Before oil, Lagos was already a thriving city, and before Nigeria - from way back in the 17th century, the biggest asset of what's known as Lagos state today, has always been its location. Hence it has always been trading centre between European explorers and the local folks there. Also, oil money doesn't even belong to the SS alone cos most of the offshore oil wells fall within the SW's territorial waters. And once we get into the technicalities of everything - you'd see that the SW ought to be getting more from the oil wealth. However, that isn't the case and the so-called oil region are the only ones taking the 13% derivation. Now add the fact that Lagos generates enormous wealth for the FG in taxes, seaport etc.. You'd see that the SW is the most cheated region in Nigeria. That's the honest truth. 12 Likes 1 Share |

When the LNG project or other investment project is constructed in the Niger Delta no one kids themselves that this is the Niger Delta's share of the National Cake . Let us not do the same with the Lagos -Ibadan express way which is largely for the benefit of the North. The truth is the SW has suffered because of Lagos Places like Ekiti especially.

May God punish you for DAT rational defense of evil That is common sense Budget allocation The SW is home to most Nigerians, it is only right that it gets the lion's share The SW is bombarded by immigration from other parts of the country , especially the SE, so the government has to provide more infrastructure for the region to take care of the emigrants [/quote] |

pasol4real: But when Nnamdi Kanu was telling the truth about Nigeria's wicked policies against the south east and south south, some Igbos who have landed property in Lagos and Abuja, as well as those who chop from Nigeria's corrupt and evil political process remain dormant, some even beat the band backwards. This is just the beginning of Igbo woes in one Nigeria. In a short time, all things being equal, those Igbos who have landed property in Lagos and Abuja and in government shall start to open their mouths to let rest of Nigeria urinate and shiiit into their mouths - nothing happens. 1 Like |
