heryoub22:You mean OICs used groundnut money to drill oil? This lies that you keep telling yourself. Anyway, pre-oil era, Nigeria had this 50% derivative for resource producing regions. Post oil era, the story is different. Why can't we get 25% at least to take care of our troubles bro? It is not about tribalism but about fairness and justice |

Intrepid01: Take it easy Mr Southerner. The south is still very much developed than the north. If not for Abuja the middlebelt and north east are still extremely underdeveloped. The north westernerns are the only ones really benefitting from the scheme of things. They are the brains behind every manipulation. 1 Like |

TonyeBarcanista: Have u not been trying to take by force what is everyone's? The national wealth in your backyard is what bred your militancy and insane violence, claiming it's yours just because by accident of nature you find yourselves where the oil is. If your governors cannot fix your neck of the woods, why should the government, going by your argument? Your hypocrisy is devious. The NE is part of nigeria, and was devastated by the failure of leadership of the PDP. It's the federal government's job to protect its people and borders. Since your brother failed at this remarkably simple job, it falls on the FG to fix the mess. The NE has as much right to the commonwealth as you, even more so. As long as nigeria remains a country the wealth of the nation is every citizen's. You're an even bigger idiot that i first thought. |

Kay17: Mr. Kay ,where in my post did u see me say sth abt VAT in the U. S, I only used VAT in Lagos state as an example of wat is obtainable in Nigeria while I also used the casinos and entertainment in Nevada because the dynamics re different bt the simple truth and the way it should be is having the component units paying a certain percentage to the central government,so don't try to be too clever by half by twisting facts or shifting the post in this argument. |

ianSweet: Lol...@ Mr. Southerner........The large underdevelopment of the Northern region is the fault of their clueless Leaders catalyzed by the prevalent illiteracy and lack of exposure of the people. It is not the fault of the South. Every state in Nigeria receives allocation and the north cumulatively takes the larger portion of the fund. So if they are still backward because they allowed some people to siphon the public money meant for the good of all, you cant say we should allow them to again allocate another extra fund that would most likely end in the usual place. We need to understand that the South is not even developed, don't tell me to look at it relatively. This is 2016, No state in Nigeria has the requisite amenities of a developed State, not even Lagos. So we should not let some people deceive us or deceive ourselves that the South is developed. You can pay a visit to Jo'burg, Kuala Lumpor, Stocholm, Istanbul, Doha and see the definition of a developed state. You'll see I did not even mention the 1st world countries. We need to be wise and proactive. |

Intrepid01: Yes i agree with u. The northern leaders are a problem especially the hausa-fulanis. Those people are just controlling the whole country, all the stupid elders and leaders in my own middlebelt are just pawns and tools the hausa (northwestern) leaders use. However even your own leaders are to blame too, many of them also sell themselves to these core-northern leaders and they are also corrupt too, if not, with the 13% derivative that is being allocated to Niger deltan states, why are we not seeing the effects except for only Akwa ibom state? See a smaller and scarcely populated state like Bayelsa they got over $7 billion allocation while my own state in the north central got only about $2 billion and it has been this way for some time now, but in terms of development, Bayelsa is not even faring better than my state, i even heard people complaining that the Bayelsan governor has not paid salaries for about 2 months, what can we say about this? Besides i think it is not in place for you to compare Nigerian cities with South african and Asian cities, these people have a very different history and struggles from us. |

ianSweet: I totally agree with you on the first part. But on the part relating to comparison of Nigerian states with other states, I do not agree with you. You know what my dear, we can keep consoling ourselves with the excuse that USA is over 200 years old and Italy is as old as the planet earth. Even if we are not where they are, are we even taking steps to get there in anytime in future? Abeg enough of this excuses 1 Like |

MONITZ: If casinos and entertainment centres were in Lagos, the taxes accruing in those places would be paid to Lagos State. Again the VAT example ought to show the departure by the Nigerian federal system from the United States federal system. It's a wonder why else you mentioned VAT. Nonetheless you haven't still proven the difference between the two countries practice of federalism. |

Intrepid01: Why do u really feel we are not taking any steps? Those cities u listed like Joburg and Kuala lumpur are just cities and not whole countries, those cities like Doha, Istanbul e.t.c are in countries which do not face terrible issues like Nigeria, they are snaller in population, mono religious and mono ethnic by nature, so u have a stronger unity in those countries which enhances peaceful living which breeds development in turn. Nigeria is not doing too bad compared to other subsaharan african countries, although i agree that we could have done better. |

TonyeBarcanista: LoLL, una do o. The truth is that unless the fraudulent geo political and regional classification is redefined, Northern Nigeria will continue to have an undue advantage over the south and sadly on your own rescources. Southernerns have to unite and severe the middlebelt minorities from the grip of the core-north or at most corner the loyalty of all northern christians or enter into some form of union with northern christians in order to divide the north, because unfortunately even the hausa-fulanis have used religion to divide the middlebelters and northern minorities and they just manipulate us the way they like. As long as the hausa-fulanis continue to have the northern minorities and christians under their control, they shall continue to rule Nigerian affairs because as it stands it would be almost impossible for Igbos and yorubas to unite completely because both groups are grooms (majority groups) forced into one region for them to compete for territorial dominance and relevance with themselves while the Hausa-fulanis were given many 'brides and maidens' (minority groups) to force into marriage, control and made to answer their own names and clean up their own mess. |

ianSweet: Why do u really feel we are not taking any steps? OMG!!! are you asking me why I feel we are not taking steps? You make me feel like an alarmist. If that's your view, then there is no need to complain about the state of the economy, there is no need to complain that a huge percentage of Fund allocation to Budget financing is being diverted in to personal coffers since 1979. There is no point to complain again about the dilapidated state of our infrastructure. There is no need to complain about the myriad of problems that ordinary Nigerians face everyday. Afterall to you, the country is doing fine. I do not know who I am chatting with, I do not know maybe you are typing from the confines of your apartment in Banana island. But I do know that you are chatting with an average Nigerian who despite the fact that he pays Personal income tax on monthly basis yet still buys fuel on weekly basis to power his generator cos there is never light, pays for his own security because the safety of life and property isn't guaranteed, pays through periodic repairs of cars for the bad state of Nigerian roads....and on and on pays in multiple ways due to the ineptitude of some useless eediots called public office holders.......With due respect madam, we do not live in the same country....The Nigeria I live in and the states in it that I have seen isn't taking any meaningful step. |

ImperialYoruba: Thank u so much for this wonderful piece. I feel like giving u a big hug. This is what most of u southernerns do not understand. Northernerns are not as united as u guys think they are. The only difference is that we northernerns know how to bury our hatchets and hatred for each other when it comes to issues of common interest. For instance i live in Kaduna, many southernerns dont know of the kind of hatred that exists for instance between the people of Southern Kaduna (christian tribes) and Northern kaduna (hausa muslims). In kaduna city, both groups do not even live together, the great Kaduna city is highly polarized and one group is always seeking to dominate the other. Most northern and middlebelt christians and tribes from Plateau, Kaduna, Taraba, Nasarawa, Benue, Adamawa, Kogi, Gombe e.t.c do not like hausa-fulani people, this is why u always see bloody religious and ethnic clashes between them, polarized settlements e.t.c Hausa-fulanis only have advantage over we nothern christian tribes because they have used religion to divide us and our own brothers from our tribes who are muslims, they had the emirate system which and the british used to enslave and silent many northern minority groups. Even among the core-northern muslims, many do not know that the Hausa-fulanis and Kanuris are not best of friends, they have strong differences. Until you southernerns learn how to unite and divde the north, beat them to their game of divide and rule tactics, we will continue to remain where we are, cos i really dont see northern minorities uniting to break and pull out of hausa-fulani stronghold very soon. Hausa-fulanis through the help of our british masters used and are still using divde and rule tactics on all Nigerian groups and regions. |
