mrvitalis:
This is absolutely correct ...I see no reason why Lagos would get and other states won't

Your stand is plainly stupid! Let me give you an example.

Suppose you have 2 children and one has cancer and the other malaria. Will you devote same amount of money to their healthcare? Will you say because the child with cancer cost you 100k a month to maintain, you must give same amount to the other child even when he or she is healthy?
Rivers State has only 1 case! Only one! So what do they need the money for? Just give all states same amount even when they don't need them to show equity?
Oyo and Osun with higher cases were not given anything and did not complain!

Sanchez01:

Why not pray for your state to record the number of COVID-19 cases as Lagos and get N10B instead while Lagos gets nothing?

Most of you are blinded by hate and envy that relief funds mean everything to you.

It's not my business only Lagos airport works in Nigeria

Woleett:
These people just be jealous of Lagos no wonder Lagos is like Jerusalem to yam reez and they would rather die there than in their godforsaken redmud poohole. I once witnessed one flatheaded fool giving testimony in church that she is grateful to God for now being a lagosian after relocating from anambla

Abeg go brush teeth.. It's obvious you re just learning to talk

COVD-19 politics.Is Wike desiring his state to be on the list of high risk states?

mrvitalis:

Really

Superwave:
But your bigoted father is okay with other regions having development commission while Lagos is denied ba ?!

And your mother is okey with only Lagos airport working right a

Your mother is okey with it being far cheaper and faster to clear in Lagos right ?

Make una reason na

U are the one not making sense, oil is in the past. To hell with ur cursed oil

AtikuNetwork:


Compare the number of cases in Lagos (which is the epicentre of the outbreak) to other states, maybe then you will 'see' reason. If it goes out of control in Lagos, nowhere else in Nigeria would be spared.

Are they giving recovered patients N10,000,000 each?

Did Lagos State government discovered a magical vaccine?

Abeg make una park well, what's good for the goose is also good for the gander. Every state need funds to prepare for the worse

Avalancheman:


Really

It's what u wanted out of greed ...the rest should not suffer for your greediness

felixedet:





Speak with maturity next time ok!

I will if only Wike will.

Even though sanwoolu isn't doing enough, only shouting here and there and busy granting interviews, I commend his little effort. He must do right thing and talk less. Dapo abiodun of ogun state didn't get half of what lagos received but has done much more than sanwoolu without making noise.

festacman:
Gov. Wike, becareful what you ask for. No take oju okokoro bring bad luck to River State.

I bet Gov. Sanwolu would prefer to even give him and his Rivers State N10 billion of Lagos money than being under the present pressure and apprehension about potential spread of COVID-19 similar to New York.

Cry cry baby, baby no dey shame!

Do you think before writing this nonsense, if Wike desperately need it that way he simply organise some Audio convid-19 patients but must we politicizes everything.,... FG should have disburse monetary funds to all state to enable them to control it before it get out of hand.

Oyo and Osun States just decided to be FOOLISH.. And your explanation here makes no sense.. We are talking of contagious diseases and not about CANCER nor malaria that are non contagious. Okay?

Learn to listen to yourself before typing.

Good day

Amotekun777:
And here we go again.

Lagos got $10billion cuz 80% of the folks living in Rivers already migrated / relocated to Lagos.

Thunder fire all dem IPOB and all of una for dat side

What do you know slowpok.ehave you ever crossed ore ?

When reasonable people are having a discuss you shouldn't be seen close to them ,dumbass

0m0nnakoda:
Rivers state doe not produce the greatest part of the nations wealth



Oil @ $100 X 2million barrels a day X 365 days a year =$73 billion

Lagos state has a GDP of $ 136 billion

NIGERIA has a GDP of $380 billion

Now Rivers state does not produce most of Nigeria's oil and oil is very far from $100

People need to wake up and stop parroting the same tired rubbish.

Lagos is position for the future, oil is the past

The issue is corona, not that politics you're playing up there. Anyway if wike wants the 10billion he should equally be ready to receive over 90 corona patients. Rubbish, all they want is money.

And your analogy is plain foolish
Every state in Nigeria has potential to be like Lagos .when do u learn that proactive actions are better than reactive ?

So u are stupidly saying government can't give 5 billion to other states ?

That's why all the governors are all trying to claim positive to the virus so they all get share of the largesse. So diseases can't be tamed without Federal government donation? Shame

I had thought about this sometimes ago. The reasoning of this present government is very myopic. So is it until a substantial number of COVID19 cases are recorded in a state before FG can give assistance to such a state? Is this the best approach to handle the situation on ground? This is the same way they shared relief materials to only northern States and abandoned other regions of the country. Indeed, there was a government. Shame on Buhari.

obailala:
So people still make this ignorant argument even in 2020? The pipelines that were burst during OBj, yaradua and GEj tenures, by how much did it affect Nigeria's oil production volume?.... Did they also happen at a time following a sharp drop in global oil prices?... You say oul price was $9 during OBJs time, how much was Nigeria's forex demand then compared to 2015? How much of fuel was Nigeria importing then compared to 2015?... How much of importation was Nigeria doing in 1999 compared to 2015 (when even basic items like toothpick and waterproof bags were being imported)?.... If recession was only caused by pmb incompetence and not oil price, why exactly did the 7% gdp rate you talked about fall to 2% before pmb came in power? (obviously a lot of folks like yourself dont know that).

The GDP growth rate was at 4% not 2% by the time Buhari came to power, lets even assume that it was 2%, Obasanjo met a foreign reserve of just about $5bn dollar with a massive debt of about $34Bn and oil was selling @$9 per barrel yet the economy never went into recession, instead it grew, Buhari met N30bn in foreign reserve, debt of about $12Bn and oil was selling circa $30 yet within 6 months the economy went into recession, pray tell me if not Buhari's incompetence what else could be responsible for that, especially considering that the first time the same Buhari became Head of state the nation's economy entered a recession at about the same time as it did during his second coming?

PHijo:


What makes Lagos special?

If states are special Lagos cannot in anyway be more special than my home state, Rivers.

Can we then transfer the over hundred cases in Lagos to your home state? Some arguments are not just worth it. I am beginning to think our politicians will soon be announcing non existent cases just to lay hands on corona money. Shameful

PHijo:


What makes Lagos special?

If states are special Lagos cannot in anyway be more special than my home state, Rivers.

How much does ur state generate for Nigeria, how much does lagos generate? Ur state doesn't generate half of what lagos generate.

Macphenson:



When militants were breaking pipeline, the Nation went on recession, what other fact do you want.[quote author=Oodja post=88151415]

is that your way of measuring which state generates the biggest revenue?

seunmsg:


Is this about revenue generation or fighting a pandemic? Is Rivers the epicenter of the virus in Nigeria or Lagos? How many people have tested positive for the virus in Rivers state? Why do you guys like to play politics with everything?

I beg make we hear word
Once it has entered a state and affected one or two confirmed cases know it that is has gotten a lot of people because most times it is difficult to trace people that has come in contact with the principal carriers
Those 4 cases or so you heard in Rivers state in no time could translate to 16 given the contagious rate of the virus
The same energy you use in fighting the virus in a place where you confirmed 20 should also be the same energy to contain it when it is even 2 cases

The FG is to blame for not shutting down the border in time until the Italian brought it in what an Irresponsible government and zombie followers

Macphenson:
That's true, in terms of revenue generation, Rivers state generates more more than Lagos State, so why should Rivers state not be given grants, or is Buhari waiting for the cases to get up to fifty before responding?

Lagos Generated A Revenue Of 500billion naira in 2018 higher Than That Of The Entire South East Lagos Has A Gdp of About $130 billion Dollars the Fourth Highest In Africa U Can Never Compare Lagos Nd Rivers Lagos Is Like D Power House Of Nigeria

wike trust me you don't know what you are wishing for, why must you allow greed in now? there is nothing political going on here, Lagos, as we all know, have more corona cases than other states, so what do you expect! the best you can do now is to make sure your state cases don't escalate and not cry over money. its cheaper and more effective to prevent corona than cure it[b], focus on that sir![/b]

Only an idiot will give such testimony, Lagos is worst city to live in, I left that God for seeking city 2016 I now have peace of mind

Wike is a loud-mouth and is the one politicizing this Covid-19 matters .must we politicized everything Mr Wike?.Do you now distribute Covid-19 according to our resources?. Let's turn the table round,please give more Coronavirus to Wike alone and not the good people of Rivers so that he can play with the Virus.What a shit is this?.

This is some bogus statement. I wonder what you have been smoking lately

Lanretoye:
The useless man thinks this is money matter,if his state is as vulnerable as lagos state he wouldn’t be saying rubbish.

You uneducated people just wake up and speak trash everyday. Go and look into the FG allocation to each state and see if you can compare that of Rivers state with that of Lagos. The FG will not give sure allocation to Rivers if they are not getting more benefit from the oil and gas business. You just open your mouth carelessly and shout without thinking deep as if you know better than the government ruling you.
This is one of the reason Nigeria will be hard to develop because with this mentality you have, you might be given an opportunity to head a position and you will still do the same thing these people are doing.
