Sharrap !!!! Bad belle will not kill you. Abeg go and face the worthless excuses you lot are parading as Governors in the SE instead of disturbing us here. We understand you fear the name Amotekun so we will soon have a Nairaland Amotekun to deal with you and your ilk.

kutchs:

IPOB doesn't give a damn about you and the SW Development Commission. IPOB long interest in Nigeria and wants out.

jimyjames:


We don't need hunters in south east ,amotekun is a joke

Wake me up when amotekun are allowed to carry AK47

Eventually, Nigeria shall develop along regional lines. Where one region currently contributes the bulk of government earnings is meaningless in the long run and ballooning population.

Niger-Delta sells oil which proceeds can be used to buy food from the North and North-Central. The South-West is the gateway of foreign goods influx into the country = taxes and levies/duties on imports. Not to forget cocoa which can be exported to Belgium and Switzerland. Boasting of a sizeable population, people can also be taxed to raise revenue. The South-East shall be the manufacturing hub and commercial nerve of a regionalized Nigeria. Each region federates itself, have its own police, enforces its own laws and even conduct its own elections. We scrap the Senate and have three representatives from each region to meet twice a month to legislate on matters of common interests. Each region contributes 32% to a central government to oversee immigration matters, customs, national police, regional regulation, Supreme Court, army, national infrastructure, common examinations, currency and stock market.

That way, development is closer to the people. As it is now, I don't know my LG chairman, or state and federal representative. But Fulani herdsmen rioting is Buhari's fault, whereas the governor should be held responsible.
PS: Regional heads chosen by the people elect one of themselves or a neutral person as Chairman who oversees the country (and represent us in international meetings) with the regional heads as vice-chairmen overseeing the regions. Regions can have 1000 members in their regional assemblies, it is their business so long as they can pay them. We need a lean center. Nigeria is too big and heterogeneous to be centrally managed or policed.

OsuEbonyi:

They don't need to show you their ak47 .
According to Ayatulahi Buhari, Fulani herdmen carry sticks too.
We have numerous land borders and also the longest coastline in Nigeria .

We shall sort out ourselves Go figure !!

seunmsg:
We’ve noted those that opposed the bill. At the right time, we shall reciprocate appropriately. Period!

fergie001:

One was debated today...South South Development Bill.

I ask what for...we already have NDDC.

This people started it with NEDC....they should just kukuma give the six to balance the equation.

FrLukas:
Lol.

They will kick against it.

They are enjoying one Nigeria too much.

I pray Boko Haram visits their families with bombs maybe they will have a rethink.

If you need the Igbo tribe out of your lives. Why then did you pick up arms ready to die on the orders of abokiis during the war?

Niger Delta Development Commission is being funded by resources from the Niger Delta . Where will the funds for the other five development commission com from? I just hope you are not hoping to collect oil money from the Niger delta to develop your region, when already you collect oil money monthly to run states in your region.

ERockson:
Almost every region is having or about to get one. I knew IPOB will openly oppose SW development commission

fergie001:

Try to und before you attack.
What is the difference between Niger Delta and South South

wirinet:

Who did I attack? Please remain on topic. How are the other proposed regional development commission to be funded? Including the proposed South West Development Commission.

fergie001:

You see your problem.

How will the NEDC be funded?

Ordinarily, they shouldn't approve anything. Since they approved the NEDC, then approve for all the six geopolitical zones. Do you und now?

RedBlackPepper:
Hmmn long overdue, South West contributes the largest chunk to the national GDP(outside crude oil), more than 60%; while other regions put together contribute the remaining 40%. For the sake of equity and justice; the Yoribas deserve more than what the nation apportion to them. If there could be NDDC (for producing oil), nothing should stop the SWDC (for producing the largest chunk to our GDP).

wirinet:

I honestly don't know, as I have not seen the bill itself, but I suspect it will be oil revenue from the Niger delta, as I don't know what the north east produces outside boko haram.



I still don't understand how the other five zones hope to get the funds to develop their regions. We will need to see the bill itself to know the source of their funding.

Iceberg3:


I just hate people like you,the two senators that opposed the bill are from the north and Delta state,that's SS.
Or are you now Saying, agreeing that Delta/SS is now ipob/Biafra!?
Ain't it funny and strange that you got no word who opposed the bill,not a single word for the northerner, our number one major problem as southerners?!
Instead you are calling out the people whi didn't oppose the bill! I really hate folks like you.

Is there really a hate speech bill and what's it supposed to be for?

Nairalanders are not concerned about it.

Check frlukas post.

SmartMen:
I know what u have in mind... the man is from Niger Delta? You see now that you think he is from the South East but when South East say SE and SS, most of you have no idea that they say this because of their brothers, sisters, cousins that have been cut off and added to places like Delta STATE, Rivers State...

Nzeagwu was from what is also known as present day Delta state but again, because of his name, he was tagged an igbo man. but when igbos tell you that there are igbos in other states, you call them attache by force...

We wait for what you will do.. clowns.

“Won ni omo Elefo, oni efo oun okinse ti t’atan”.
Did I mention any tribe or zone in my post? A senator from Bauchi and another one from Delta were reported to have opposed the bill. The names and states of the senators were clearly stated in the OP without any ambiguity. Why an Igbo man felt threatened by my post is what I don’t understand.

Mr. Smartmen, you don’t have to explain anything to me. Those that opposed the bill are well known to us. At the right time, we shall return the Favour appropriately. You don’t have to panic if your hands are clean.

Shut up there,the north and someone from Delta state opposed the bill. The northerner did without any good reason but thee Delta man did with good reason cos the bill,if successful,which we pray succeeds, will be funded by the Niger Delta to a large extent.

The north have always opposed such bills,such programs like True federalism restructuring resources control,but it is strange you said not a single word as regards the northerner that opposed the bill.
Heaven knows this topic would've peaked more than 20 pages if an easterner were among those who opposed the bill!!!!
I don't have to be an easterner to know that.
