mamabomboy:
Rubbish. Lagos southwasted has no oil wells. All this daylight robbery will blow up in their faces soon enough.

OAUTemitayo:
Where? When?
Get your facts right

ToySoldier2:
You see why it's always good to stay on the side of truth no matter who seems favoured. Lagos is now to benefit from 13%derivation. I remember when ND governors were fighting for it

MinorityTribe:
Why can Lagos approved and disprove oil wells and not the Niger Deltans? Who owes all the oil wells? Are they northerners?

Flets:


Without True Federalism, Lagos at this rate will become like Niger Delta

RedCapChief:
Ambode is getting rounder and rounder.
The money from 4th mainland bridge and 13% derivation will turn him to blom-blom

The economic injustice in this country is just too much.. Big ups to Lagos who has achieved much growth by stifling the economic opportunities of other regions. Only 1 state wan get 2 seaports, two international airports, and we have 36 states in the region. The onitsha seaport is yet to commence, the ibaka seaport of akwaibom, we dnt know if that has entered voice mail...

this development will spread if other seaports in calabar, akwaibom and onitsha are allowed to flourish; with international airports allowed in other commercial cities in Nigeria. its really unfair that only 1 state gets this undue advantage..

Quote me and watch your life run the way buhari runs nigeria.

Bolustic:
Lagos and SW indigenes must be considered first for employment before other Nigerians.

If catchment areas is applicable for universities and unity schools admissions, it must be allowed for oil producing areas too.

Anyone who doesn't believe in Nigeria particularly those who want to secede MUST not be given privileges that accrue to those who want to stay.

Deadlytruth:


So correct and factual. In fact at independence we were practising true fiscal federalism by which each region summarily retained 75% of its own revenue and remitted only 25% to the centre. By that arrangement each region was developing at its own pace and was free to utilize its funds to invest in building seaports, airports, industries, universities, etc.
However it was an Igbo man called Aguyi Ironsi that came and, in the name of seeking "national unity" dismantled true federalism thus abolished the regional structure and replacing it with unitary system which led to a chain of reactions that ended up redirecting all powers and revenues to the centre (Lagos) resulting in economic strangulation and stunted growth of all other parts of the country for 50 years now and still counting.

DesChyko:


I don't joke with my facts. But your question is incoherent, probably due to your personal misinterpretation of my post.

seguntijan:


thanks for the clarification, I just feel like what has Danjuma, Alakija and co has done for the country compare to the oil well that will be managed by the state government at least the profit will be used for social welfare and infrastructural developmental which is much more better than enriching individuals.

attackgat:


If Ironsi is guilty of introducing unitary system, them all those who came after him are guilty of sustaining it.

codemaniacs:


that's how its to be done, but nepotism and corruption ruined Nigeria, the North was in power when the oil boom started so they allocated most of the oil blocks to themselves and since Ironsi abolished regionalism, it made difficult for a southerner to own an oil block back then.

crestedguy:
I must say the beneficiary of this oil well is not Lagos state but jagaban himself,what he wanted from past government and was not within his reach,now it is in pocket,oya jagaban dey jagaban the wealth of Lagos dey go

OAUTemitayo:
Very coherent. I asked where did some people abuse oil producing areas on "the basis of being the areaa producing it"?
Probably you are the one misinterpreting the abuse on those bombing oil infrastructures in order to weigh in their demand which historically has been proven to be self centred and not in the interest of the oil producing areas at large.

rhektor:


That Ironsi guy is actually the beginning of Nigeria's problem. Even though the flat heads wouldn't accept

DesChyko:


Perhaps asking me to explain myself would be best. You misunderstood my post. The 'insult' was based on the futility of the intentions of NDA and their cohorts, wanting control over a resource that is quick losing its value. Celebrating the discovery of the same maligned substance elsewhere is laughable. Perhaps the Politics section is a stranger to your Nairaland sojourns. I will indulge you.
