I can see debate on resource control popping up again.
And especially in Akwa Ibom State. Over 50% of Nigerian annual revenues come from Akwa Ibom state, yet, the citizens of Akwa Ibom State are the poorest in Nigeria.

Who do you blame for poor conditions of living the citizens of Akwa ibom state are experiencing?

The blame sits at the heart of the citizens themselves—which include their leaders. That is because we are too scare to fight for ourselves. Oil revenue should be controlled by Akwa Ibom State government. Natural gas revenue should be controlled by Akwa Ibom State government. Mining of solid minerals—when revenue is generated should be controlled by Akwa Ibom State.

But it is not happening because when new source of revenue is discovered, our leaders invite federal government of Nigeria to come over and take the lead. And that means when revenue on mining of sold minerals start kicking in, Akwa Ibom State government has to beg the federal government of Nigeria for 1% and 99% go into the pocket of Northern controlled government.

I am so irritating by how Nigerian government is mistreating citizens of Akwa Ibom State.

Currently, light rail is not in Akwa Ibom State, but states that don’t contribute to the national treasury. Federal highway project does not exist in Akwa Ibom State. This is happening in view of alarming statistics which show over 50% of revenue Nigerian government spends each year come from Akwa Ibom State.

Is Federal Government going to share the money realised from this mining ventures to lazy state?

It is high time crude oil drilling is left for states in Nigeria to manage and they pay taxes to the federal government.

STOP DISTRIBUTING THE MONEY OF OTHER HARD WORKING STATES STRUGGLING TO IMPROVE ON THE INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUE TO LAZY STATES IN NIGERIA.

Each state in Nigeria must work for its own money.

THAT IS WHAT FEDERALISM MEANS?

NORTHERN STATES START TAKING AGRICULTURE WITH ALL SERIOUSNESS.

Stop waiting for NIGER DELTA CRUDE OIL MONEY.

Stop waiting for CHINESE LOAN MONEY

Think OUTSIDE THE BOX to get your state economy moving.

Make federal government no put eye for that thing o!
Make them focus on stealing oil money,and leave the other resources for their various states to use o!
That is the only way forward !

Is a civil service state.

Tannhauser:



Bro, I get the point you are trying to make but you could have put it in a better manner. Now, you just sound bitter.

PARACLETOS:
The policy implimentation strategy of this government is just second to non. No unnecesrary politics is mixed as far as people oriented programs are concern. The state is ahead of those seeking secesion instead of thinking development. Akwa Ibom ema edak'ka eda!

GboyegaD:
Good one, at least the governor is making efforts. However, there is no need to rush so as not to deplete the resources too quickly. They should plan what amount should be extracted over time to allow for replenishment of these resources.
