while the oil - producing states received N 37.021 bn as derivation ( 13 per cent of mineral revenue ) .

I don't see any reasons why some SE states and Niger Delta shouldn't develop with all these monies.
grab your governors' balls and make them accountable. stop pining all blames on Buhari.

All this states does is just pay salary...
No plan,no strategic investment to boost their IGR....
Even Lagos with the biggest IGR is just lucky due to the federal infrastructure when Lagos was the capital...Ever since 1999 no Government in Lagos state has done a major project... If Sanwolu can actually complete the monorail that will be the first major project since 1999...while the state has over N30 bn monthly IGR..it's a big slap on our face.
...[s]Sadly those oil rich state should bow their heads in shame too...
Comparing their monthly allocation With their size and population ,Oyo state shouldn't come close to any of them,but Sadly it's only Rivers that can stand with OYO...their governors will THIEF all the money and they will tell their indigenes its FG's Fault...
FG is bad,but with the huge allocations those Niger Delta state has,they should be able to function and run excellently without extra help from FG....
Lastly all those stupid local goverment chairman should be hang with their balls...
Alimosho LG in Lagos receives over N800,000,000.00 monthly and absolutely nothing to show for it... Eto-Osa receives over N450,000,000.00 and I haven't seen a single project by the local government in my over 5 years of living and working within this axis.
If we actually tackle this stupid people at the root,our problem will be half solved...
Last last....
Oyo state built the then tallest building in Africa (Cocoa house) with the proceeds from cocoa and other agricultural produce in 1965...Over 50 years ago... and now they can't even get N1 billion naira from Agriculture a month in 2020...The business that yielded so much money 50 years ago should almost be as big the Crude oil exports... I hope Seyi Makinde can revive that industry....
Crude oil in the Niger Delta region is the cause of our problem and it's a blessing with many CURSE...
Then we also have the Northern states that are nothing but a burden...
As poor as Zamfara state is,they allocated a billion naira for graveyard maintenance Sometimes last year..and I almost cry when I read the news...it's sad,it's sad,it's sad[/s].

You don't seem to understand this as this statement looks ambiguous. The 37 billion to each state or cumulatively to all the oil producing states that are about 10 in number?

Kinematics:



Crude is your problem then tell your oyo government to stop running to FG monthly to collect allocation.
Since you feel the Niger Delta should be ashamed you oyo man should be more more ashamed for being unable to survive without the Niger Delta.

The Niger Delta bleed so that you can survive, you need to be thankful.

Hold ur Govs accountable.

FROM OIL PROCEEDS

Oil producing states received N 37.021bn as derivation ( 13% of mineral revenue)

However the cost of collection/Federal Inland revenue refund/Allocation to North East development commission was N 23.958bn.


THEN

FROM VAT

Cost of collection/Federal Inland revenue/Allocation to North East development commission was N 7.271bn


Does it mean that North East development commission received a total of 23.958 + 7.271 or 7.271 is part of the 23.958


On what grounds would the NEDC be getting this much

What is their contribution (revenue wise)

What are they rebuilding??

What is their benefit to this nation asides terrorism and religion extremism

As good as it sounds, road users get ready for high toll fees and increased in transport fare.

Niaja!!!!!!

Mehn this is serious trouble looming.
Last month witnessed a decline from 747 to 606 billion and now this.
Gosh some governors will use this as an excuse to slash salaries of civil servants while some won't even pay at all.
May God punish corona

aliyuabbaashiru:
I totally agree with all you've said but i have a problem with the last part in your write up. Back when the north pays all OUR bills from agriculture before crude oil it didn't see the rest of the region as a burden innit. Now how fair do you think you've sounded?

GEEBITE:
Fallacy you have been fed with.The north never picked the bill of the south.In fact south was amalgamated with north to make up for the deficit the colonial masters were having running administration of the north(i.e to balance the books). Later at independence all the regions (North,West&East) were self running and semi autonomous and only paid taxes to the center.
