EBONYI is the least nevertheless, the Governor is doing wonderfully well. I imagine what he could have done if he receives what Lagos received monthly. God bless EBONYI

Take time to read the report again and see the parameters used in sharing the money.

Again, we must re-orientate ourselves to the fact that there is much more to Nigeria than the oyel.

The importance of what the North contributes to our survival as a nation cannot be over-emphasized. Just by experiencing tomato ebola in the north in just one season, the whole of Nigeria has been suffering to get tomatoes at cheap/reasonable price. Can we imagine what will happen if all the farm produce that comes from there stop coming to the south? We will import? With which money and at what cost?

The earlier we realized that each region has its own relevance, the better for us as a nation to move forward.

While I agree with most of your submitions,ranging from how every region is important and how we all need each other,I disagree with you on the issue of oil not being of any use,its a really short sited way to look at it,there is a huge difference between the money being available and it being embezled,whether you choose to believe it or not,if oil dries up tomorrow,Nigeria as you know will gring to a halt,that is how important oil is to the nation at the moment,there is no doubt agriculture which the north is known for contributes hugely to the nations GDP but the truth remains that the revenues from the sale of these produce don't go to the federation account but private citizens unlike proceeds from oil which make up most of the governments revenue.

well you are right, Am not saying oil is not important in Nigeria GDP and you can see in my post where I stated that even the federal allocations distributed to the 36 state, some state can give a good record on how the allocations are been utilized and of cos it most from Oil revenue. Everything still ball down to bad leadership in n this country. Which day I read on nairaland that Gov Aregbeshola of Osun state name was published by the USA news magazine about being one of the richest politician. Now imagine if they give Osun state all the federal allocation, what give us the assurance that the state workers would not still complained of no salary? So my point is that even if food is highly available and very affordable, Nigerians will not really complained about hardship. A country highly blessed with crude oil depot and still pays 18k as minimum way?? It so pathetic and still yet the food in the country is very expensive. bro 18k will not last a week. Is better you get 18 and you can use 10k to feed well in a month that is well agriculture is very important too

How come Gombe and Ebonyi are able to pay salaries while, Others that got more like Ekiti, Oyo, Ondo, Bayelsa are unable to pay their employee.

The north does not contribute anything.

this is madness at it peak...you now see why it good to go to school and be educated, this is what you called uncompleted building in your villag?

Schematics:
Does the tomato not bought by Nigerians? is it being shared like the proceeds from oil? We are ready to pay for the tomato and onions so far as they are ready to pay for the oil.

The fact is that oil producing region has been shortchanged for a very long time.

Some of you just need deep thinking to reason like normal people.

Dont mind those retar.ds trying to justify rubbish. What on earth will make arid wasteland & unproductive states like Borno & Katsina to recieve more allocation than even some oil producing states!! These mofos keep talking about tomatoes & onions as if it is allocated to states for free, even the growers in the north should be greatful to the consumers in the South, because we can as well decide to buy from Cameroun or Burkina Faso. We must not allow this daylight robbery to continue. Chad & Niger are larger than Nigeria but Lagos island is more productive than them! yet they are using landmass as criteria!!!

When some ppl support NDA, it will b as if they are enemies of progress. Pls read ur comment again. Is the tomatoes and other crops produced in the North shared by all states monthly

Wat is the relevance of the North to the development of the South, East and West

Make una enjoy am while e last. There is nothing like OUR Commonwealth. The wealth is not common and it belongs 2 a certain 5%.

bonechamberlain:
Katsina getting more than some oil states. Why should population be considered when sharing revenue, so some people can keep in producing unproductive population at the detriments of others, if it was by population ( productive) Lagos should be getting more than 200 bill. Look at even borno getting more than viable states. This is why they kick against fiscal federalism so that they keep on sharing money like father Christmas

I'm only responding because of your reference to deep thinking.

While I agree that tomatoes and oil are different, my deep thinking tells me that comparing them in terms of pricing is also wrong. Oil is a natural resource like water, sand and air that nobody's effort put there in the first place. The ownership tussle over oil is simply because it is scarce and not found everywhere. Plus, the extraction of it leads to serious environmental and economic hardship for people in the area. Nobody fights over ownership of air, sand or water (at least in Nigeria) because every region has a relatively sufficient quantity and so it's not a commercial resource in Nigeria or on the international markets.

On the other hand, tomatoes do not appear naturally and so you have to grow them with some effort. This is why we have to pay for tomatoes and conversely we have to pay people in oil-producing regions (derivation) for exploring the oil.

Oboy, una done start with this una insulting sentiments; how is the the population of the so called oil producing states (you inferred) anymore productive than that of Katsina state?
Are the local ppl in those states directly involved and therefore anymore responsible for the oil revenue from their states than those in Katsina state?

Oyinbo man bring im money, equipment and technology; agreed with government to pay it royalties to drill the oil; local persin no even near dey inside, na only blackmail, bunker and kidnap him sabi and to go about flexing with na our oyel mentality without actually contributing anything towards the production itself.

Good comment. But remember that part of the justification for Lagos comes from VAT. Lagos contributes about 65% to 70% of VAT to the Federation Account, which is shared by all states. However, oil has created the most controversies so you find people talking about the OIL and not the VAT.

Pls OP, help me check where River state falls in (allocation) the last time i checked, river state is still one of the highest oil producing state with population more than that of bayelsa yet i cant find it on the the list of top 10.

oga its very easy and cheap to import tomatoes from west African Countries, true federalism is the only way out, people up north are having children uncontrolled at a faster pace than the economy is growing, the North is a burden on the rest of the country #fact.

Does this address why salary was not paid ?

He has not been faithful with ordinary salary payment let alone venturing into/completing projects.

The wage bill of Bayelsa is roughly 5bn.

Never knew him as a bad manager...

one of the reasons l hate to see people comparing states and governors, while some states receive huge amount some receive very little through useless formula that promote hatred,after some shallow minded fellows will want ebonyi state governor to perform better than akwa ibom and Lagos states governors..

seriously l have never seen a confused and partial country like nigeria

all this ur write up is irrelevant until fed govt starts sharing money made from tomatoes, cocoa, groundnut, yam etc.

So its only equipment and robots that are involved in drilling. People are toiling day and night to drill oil far away south to feed millions of people who know nothing but religion and child bearing.
