That's why they'll rather die than contemplate secession.

Part of what we need in Nigeria is resource control... to be honest for us to improve as an individual we need to split. Let each region declare her republic.

I don't see Nigeria working at all. But Hausas rather die... than for Nigeria to split

Since banks have merged and churches have merged even families in various communities have merged I see no reason why states can't merge.

Why are oil producing states like akwaibom listed?
It is like adding salt to injury.
It is their oil money that FG uses.

If akwwaibom gets at least 50% of the oil gas revenues generated from the state, it should be at least triple their current federal allocation, same for many of the oil states.

If Nigeria ever practice federalism, there is no way Lagos would remain the highest earner.

That honour will go to the major oil states.

OUR LEADERS CONTINUE TO PLAY POLITICS WITH THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA.

SOME STATES ARE NO MORE THAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS OR COUNTIES.

WE DONT NEED MORE THAN 6-8 STATES AT THIS PRESENT TIME AND PERHAPS NOT MORE THAN 40 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCILS.

WE DO NOT NEED THE SENATE. A HOUSE OF REPS WITH 40 PEOPLE SHOULD SUFFICE.

EMPOWER THE FEW STATES. HAVE STATE POLICE. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE NOT MORE THAN 25% OF THE NATIONAL INCOME AND THAT SHOULD BE FOR DEFENCE AND SECURITY AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS ONLY.
That will not work.

Proximity to certain structures always tends to lead to unbalanced IGR generation.
You are advocating for regions, in this our present stage it won't work.

What we should be advocating for is the gradual withdrawal of allocations from the federal government and proper empowerment of the private sector, until we can do away with language and tribalism, you are only having a wishful thinking.

When southerners are talking, Northerners should keep kwayet!
As small as Lagos is, it is generating more revenue than 30 states put together.
Only 3 northern states in the whole of Nigeria with impressive IGR
and they will be shouting that GEJ stole Nigeria's money, as if they even contributed anything to it.
I suggest we follow American electoral standard for voting and allocate high points to economically vibrant states and low points to weak states.
So that winning in economically strong states will improve one's chances of becoming president.
If this is done, the north will become virtually useless when it comes to elections.

Merge some of these states for crying out loud. Abia and Imo should be one, Ekiti and Osun should be one, Bayelsa and Cross Rivers and so forth. These states can't survive even with the help of FG. And FG should try and build better infrastructure in these states. It's not rocket science....

Correction... Okorocha is not and cannot be my boss though I'm his fan because he's doing well to reposition the State for future. The States with high IGR already had it going long before States creation and all they need is to collect transport or commercial levies to generate revenue. Before now Ekeukwu Owerri was the largest market in Imo State and there were no organized market systems to generate funds but with what Okorocha has done with cargo Airport and new organjzed markets as well as the building materials at Naze by Ohakim, expect the IGR of Imo to grow in the next couple of years.

''
Pointing Lagos as the state with the highest IGR, the state remains steadfast in its number one position in IGR with a total revenue generation of N333 billion compared to FAA of N201 billion which translate to 165 per cent in the twelve months of 2017''


I am not surprised, quoting the OP from the above. Make I recite Lagos' lullaby small grin....Lasgidi, the city of hope, the cosmopolitan city I rep wella, the 4th largest economy in Africa, wey beat many country in Africa in economic ratings. Lasgidi, Ilu ogbon, where everybody stands the chance of becoming somebody, Lasgidi I greet you, a city where a non-indigene would come and live in, bringing only a shirt and a Ghana must go bag and the same would leave, having millions in his pocket and becoming the bread winner of of his family. Lasgidi, a country in a country. Lasgidi, kare ooooooooo wink
