When militants were breaking pipeline, the Nation went on recession, what other fact do you want.
What year exactly?
I talk with facts and figures

Nigeria went into recession in 2015 or was there another recession that we missed?

This covid 19 period have really showed me alot of nigerians are way beyond stupid.....so you want a state to have hundreds of cases b4 you give them grant.?
Agreed the states with high cases will have higher grants but every other state is suppose to be given grant for prevention measures...
Stay at home.,people are crying hunger....this grant will be use to provide for people so they stay at home as prevention measures...
To all those fools saying wike and rivers should go carry all the corona cases in Lagos and get 10b....
Have u think of the millions of people without corona that hunger want to kill...
Well the funny thing is knowing Nigeria politicians they just want to embezzle money...
If not new York has the highest number of cases in US...but that is not going to stop families at Texas from getting their grants

Reading this, makes me have so much disgust for someone i saw as a trail blazer; but not anymore.
This is not a time to bring the revenue sharing formula brouhaha into the picture.
Politicizing the response of the federal government to curtail the spread of corona virus in Nigeria generally [Lagos being the epicenter] is borderline stupidity on the part of Wike.
I wish Rivers and Lagos states can trade places so, Wike can get 10 billion naira and over 120 covid-19 cases in his state and vice versa.
To say the least, i am highly disappointed in Wike.

So all the state should be like New York before the precautionary measure is taken?


We love but lost a country
Shameless Governor, only 4 days, were is the trillion Naira given to Rivers State since 2015?, Hypocrites mind you Sanwo Olu paid a visit to Abuja to request for the money, Mumu wike wants to sit in Port Harcourt and the FG come and dash him money like santa Claus?

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?
What is FG doing so that the whole country will be like America. How any testing centre is available nationwide?

Must we wait to count 50 before taken the right steps?

Almost all the states is on lockdown. Therefore other measures should fellow and not wait

If there a way FG could help let them go ahead and not wait and wait.


Most countries that waited are the worst of it now.

[quote author=0m0nnakoda post=88149476]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[/quote]

Low mentality Lagos has been an independent State since 1861, that's the main problem with Nigerians, they don't read, and don't know their history, even when it was western Nigeria, Lagos was its own colony (state).

The wealth in Ikoyi, and Victoria Island alone will buy the whole of port Harcourt.

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?
Is this revenue generation matter? Why is it difficult ppl to use the brain God gave to you ppl

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. grin 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

Nairaland needs to outgrow parochial drivel or else it will lose relevance.

and you think you are being reasonable here. Don't you know the meaning of internally generated revenue? Who told you the oil generated from rivers and exported is part of the internal revenue? Most of you are so bold in ignorance

I av always know, u dont reason,

How many cases is in lagos, how many is in river?


Modified: to all those irredemable fools comparing Lagos with Rivers

This is the amount each state offer Nigeria, Rivers is not even generating 1/4 of what lagos generate.

We are singling out only Rivers State here to compare head-to-head to Lagos State and you're talking about recession that was caused by destruction of pipelines across all Niger Delta States. Rivers isn't even the first or second on the list of the highest oil producing states in Nigeria and you're comparing with Lagos. Rivers does not even produce up to 25% of Nigeria's oil, so what are you talking about?
