OfoIgbo:


Lagos provides about 15 of that 20% and Igbos have more than half of that Lagos input.

Add that to the stuff coming from Igbo areas of the Niger delta and you will come to the realisation that Igbos and Igboids contribute more than 50% of what accrues to the centre


hahahaha.....another one. lol, like I said to your brother above...I really don't know where you guys are getting your percentages from, please do share it so we can all learn. Until then I don't care!!!. According to you, Igbo are contributing 50% of Lagos input, and I guess the rest of us (yoruba, hausa, edo, lebanese, indians and other foreingers) are contributung the remains 50%....smh.

you reason like a kid, can a president single handedly change the constitution.

What happened to PIB and Local government Autonomy bill

Have you not heard about Political lobbying before? what stops the south south members of the senate and house of reps from lobbying and convincing their colleagues from other regions to pass the PIB bill which will be beneficial to their states, this is where the northern politicians are better in playing ball likewise their counterparts from the sw, the problem with politicians from ss is lack of diplomatic tact to play ball with others, instead they play the victim and cry about the marginalization of the past and abuse others to make their points, there is no free lunch anywhere in the world, you must work hard for what you want.

I hope you now know who the kids are now

you are still a kid.

you know a northerner will never accept that, no matter your negotiations, esp when it comes to oil.

Not to talk of yorubas with agenda every day.


common PIB, which is mostly to encourage local content could not fly

if state control resources, all the northerners and yorubas owning oil blocs in SS will lose it.

Your response shows what am talking about, lack of diplomatic tact as you have already concluded that other regions will never agree. But how come they all agree to squander our resources by allocating bogus allowances to themselves, have the ss lawmakers ever objected to the bogus allowances they receive to the detriment of Nigerians.

Whatever makes then to agree in looting our commonwealth can also make them to agree on fiscal federalism. The ss lawmakers are not smart enough They are the problem so who are they representing? Have you not seen the north east lawmakers lobbying to set up a commission to rebuild the relics from book haram destruction.

Wake up man, it is the ss lawmakers that are kids. No one hates them.
