OAUTemitayo:
Condemning the actions of NDA doesn't mean that the discovery of oil in another place should not be celebrated.
With effective management of the funds accruing from the oil derivation the oil could turn out to be a blessing reverse of which is the case in the Niger Delta.

DesChyko:


Quoted out of context again after explaining the premiss carefully.
I understand you and your direction. It just doesn't tally with what I've maintained so far. Perhaps we should leave it at that.

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.

jpphilips:
It could've been a better news if Lagos developed the said oil blocks, that way they will be entitled to 40% , the id!ots in the creek should continue bombing.

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

arantess:

Small pikin dey worry you....what is the value of oil currently...only 4 wells and we no hear word again. So without the oil your future wasn't bright abi?

Deadlytruth:


It is a known fact that a person who sets a bad precedent is always guiltier than all others who later copied him. Ironsi was warned that once the purse is centralized it would become very difficult and almost impossible to reverse it as those who would later have a taste of a centralized purse would not want to let go again. That is where we are today. Even GEJ whose region is most disadvantaged by the centralized purse was so carried away on seeing its size and attractiveness that he too began to resist restructuring. Certain precedents are better not set.

YourNemesis:


It was bright, but the Oil made it even brighter.
Nw, an independent Oduduwa republic does not have to import refined oil to meet its domestic needs. Na you pikin dey worry.

But the centralisation of Government was reversed. The Aburi agreement completely reversed it. It was signed and sealed. It was when Gowon now abolished the regions, created States and introduced full unitary system that Ojukwu retaliated by declaring Biafra. Those who accuse Ironsi of introducing unitary system are the same people who helped the North fight Ojukwu in other to keep the unitary system from being changed.

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.

Freetech:


But why are you so pained. Dont end up killing yourself on top of matter that does not directly concern you. Continue your support for NDA destroying their future and land while Lagos continue to make giant stride developing their state. The end will speak loud for all to hear. No harm intended though.

codemaniacs:


its only a matter of time before they turn lagos to syria.... teenubu should have rejected any offer to build refinery in lagos, he should have told the fola guy to keep quiet... honestly, the security situation of lagos in the coming years may end up been very bad.

they have already practiced in Ikorodu.... the SW needs to be watchful and protective, cos the f:ulani 9ja army will obey the colonial masters..

admax:
Matters like this will be expressly approved since Lagos has aligned with the center (F.G)

As a Lagosian, I am happy about this development and I hope LASG will spend more on infrastructure; investing in an alternate mode of transportation, opening up new roads like he has started, Mass housing scheme like the Jakande era and massive CCTV cameras for security purpose.

Lagos State is definitely on the right path as a result of a consistency in Governance not forgetting the 25years Regional Masterplan for Lagos.

Eko Oni Baje o!
