Rissamenti:
If Nigeria Breaks Up Today, Can Your State Survive Without Monthly Allocation From Abuja?

Look, let's not kid ourselves.

Just about all our states depend on those monthly transfers from Abuja to keep our states running.

From salaries and pensions of civil servants to that of teachers, doctors and nurses, payments to contractors for roads, flyovers, school construction, the list is endless.

Now, BREAKING UP NIGERIA means ONE THING, if nothing else, which is that THAT MONELY FLOW STOPS IMMEDIATELY.

THE ''Niger Delta Republic'' will own all the resources contained in its sovereign new nation.

For the rest of the country, it becomes a case of Everybody Answer His Father's Name.

Now, the question is this.

How many of your states have the financial capacity to offset an instant end to the monthly allocation from Abuja?

Oh sure, we know you all have natural resources like rubber, cocoa, gold etc.

But it takes a heck of a long time and MONEY to develop those natural resources to commercially available quantities.

Plus, because of their low prices on the international market, compared to the crude oil receipts of the past, your income will be much reduced.

So it's a heck of a challenge.

I don't think many of you secessionists have thought this through well enough.

As I see it, the only people who stand to benefit substantively from a Nigerian break up are the Niger Delta.

For the rest of us - south east, south west, north etc etc.... we might well need INTERNATIONAL FOOD AID for the next few years to avert mass starvation and penury.

There is no state in Nigeria that won't survive

We igbos are ready to pay 30% tax to our biafra to get her going

We can tax beer , hotels , car owners , every shops ...that's where u would know human resources >>>>>> natural resources

Taxing all the hotels in owerri 20% which we would gladly pay in biafra ...can generate over 15 billion a month that's room alone ....clubs , drinks and food tax can generate another 10 billion , car road tax can generate 10 billion ...not to talk about business tax we would gladly pay that's another 10 billion .

Imo can easily generate 50 to 70 billion a month from her people

That's over what we get from abuja in a single month

Our gas and oil have not been included ooh

So why are you guys presently not paying to improve your states? Does Nigeria or anybody stop you from presently doing so? Remember IGR goes to your governors not Abuja. And what's the IGR of Imo again

Ibo man talk is cheap...

FrLukas:
This is not a well thought out post.

There are natural resources in every region.

Every region will take charge of the resources in their region and do as they like with it.

Besides, it isn't states that are breaking off, it is regions.

Rissamenti:


Do you have any idea how much social unrest, riots, and mayhem you will generate in Imo state by taxing the people such a huge amount of money each month?

I'm sure if you told them, they would insist on One Nigeria instead.

Kinematics:




I know you are not even proud to live in your worthless Imo state. I can bet my testes you are commenting from either Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt.
