Lol...

Strange but true...

But it's still important for statistical analysis

It’s only useful for anthropological data…
Accordingly, it should only be asked on the census (together state of residence).

EcoNews:
Foolish fools of ipob origin everywhere.

If it is not the state of origin thay will determine performance in office is it the state of residence that will determine performance.

Oloshious fellow talking rubbish.

Dude, you miss the point completely.

It has NOTHING to with performance in office. Instead, it goes to the concept of taxpayers benefittIng from their funding of the government of the state where they are RESIDENT. For example, if you live and pay taxes in State A, your kids should be able to pay subsidized (or, as in known in many parts of the CIVILIZED world, “resident”) fees to attend the State A University, rather than the kids of someone who is originally from State A but does not live and does not pay taxes (or has never lived nor ever paid taxes) in State A being granted subsidized “indigent” fees, since it is taxes that funds the State University - or it should be, but in reality most funding in Nigeria mostly come from ‘federal allocation’ largely derived from the economic and environmental GENOCIDE of my people in the Niger Delta!

Btw, this is not a new concept…
Many Nigerians have been campaigning for this for eons (but it has been primarily resisted by quota system beneficiaries).

In fact, many Nigerians have previously campaigned for this (including folks like Prof. Bolaji Aluko).

Essentially, the primary rationale goes to taxpayers benefittIng from their funding of the government of the state where they are RESIDENT. For example, if you live and pay taxes in State A, your kids should be able to pay subsidized (or, as in known in many parts of the CIVILIZED world, “resident”) fees to attend the State A University, rather than the kids of someone who is originally from State A but does not live and does not pay taxes (or has never lived nor ever paid taxes) in State A being granted subsidized “indigent” fees, since it is taxes that funds the State University - or it should be, but in reality most funding in Nigeria mostly come from ‘federal allocation’ largely derived from the economic and environmental GENOCIDE of my people in the Niger Delta!

Ogbon ole.. they should abolish state of origin so you can go to Oyo, Ogun, Lagos and be dragging governorship seats with the indigenes just like Nnamdi Azikiwe did, fighting Awolowo and other prominent Yorubas over Premiership in the West.
Instead of abolishing State of origin, everybody should go their separate ways for lasting peace to reign.

In essence an America working in Nigeria should not enjoy any benefit accruing to America based in the USA.

Now tell me how foolish you are as a monkey cos your intelligence is well below that of human.

2. My comment was a response to the senseless comment by another Igbo the point he made was adequately negated by my response.

3. In all none indigenes most especially the Igbos can not tell those from a certain place how they should be accepted. It is the indigenes that will determine if the stranger merit being called one of them so Okey Bakassi can pay trillions in dollar in taxes to the US govt, Lagos Abuja or where that doesn't mean he will enjoy the privilege of a US citizen, Lagos indigene, Omoluabi etc as your case may apply cos I know you will be foolish enough to query me on citizen of same country neglecting the very important issue of the indigene not accept the stranger as one of theirs.

You can go and kee yourself the Okay Bakassi is not from South South that guy is from IMO state so he should have directed his words to the East instead of dragging South South into this matter at the first place, meanwhile the author of the post has state his words clear of what he actually meant so engaging me with an insult doesn’t make no sense

Dude, American citizens pay US income taxes on their WORLDWIDE income, regardless of residency or domicile*…

Accordingly, they enjoy the benefits of US citizenship (NOT any particular state residency/indigenship) wherever domiciled…
Conversely, a NY “indigene” resident in California only enjoys benefits (welfare, school fees, unemployment, etc.) in California, not NY!

So Dem want to use the opportunity of the dignity of other tribes to dey enjoy what's not theirs.

State of Origin is compulsory, it will make us know the difference between the good people and CURSED people.

Valid point.

Nigeria is a group of nations within a boundary. Tribalism does not exist if you look at it properly. It’s normal for all nations, ethnic or otherwise to defend their interest or boundaries and history. It is this colonialist mindset to want to erase a peoples identity and pretend they are one. It has not even succeeded in the US. Not to talk of Nigeria. The problem in Nigeria is a lack of respect for others, their lands and their history by a particular set of people who know they are at a disadvantage with what their ancestors left them. Plus their culture of greed and covetousness makes them seek for sneaky ways to steal like what Okey is suggesting. They are the most clannish and tribal, which is the funny thing.

So let's kuku just breakup back into our separate tribes under our different traditional leaders. There is no need for Nigeria again.
Each tribe should get its own police, army, navy etc. Each tribe should harness its own resources. Each tribe should speak its own language.
Do their own website. Everybody stop speaking English. End this Nairaland website as there is no need for us, different tribes to communicate in any common language.
People when different tribes people marry, their kids should select which state they want, and live there. Nobody is allowed to be born in a city anymore. Everybody must head back to their exact village and be born there so the villagers know all of them.
Education should only by in your exact native language. In fact, education is the business of your tribe/village.
Each tribe be a nation unto itself and spare us all this headache we are having trying to run Nigeria at such great expense.
The constitution is useless.
Please translate this text into the 500+ languages we have in Nigeria so that everyone reads and understands it.

It's never going to end.
Make plans now, how to live your life in future.
-
America has many different tribes people. But the difference is that they are all foreigners to the land. And they all made the conscious decision to colonise the place and work out their freedom and democracy.
Nigerians did not work together to create this nation. We were already here as individual tribes.
Some white people just came and banded us together, shoulder to shoulder.
The force and friction is now causing all this violence and insults in all platforms.

I am only pitying you weaklings, the last time your grand father zik removed secession clause thinking igbos can compete with people that are centuries ahead in warfare . it was igbos that was halved.

If una try am, yorubas and and Hausa fulani will share those gas and oil lands within a year since it will become no man's land, and you all will have nothing, try nonsense and you all will be halved again or better still sent into an extinction.

These children of lucifer are lying more than satan their father.
How did Zik removed secession clause from the constitution?
Did he use decree as a military head of state or what?
Did Zik ever ruled Nigeria in executive capacity?
I need answer to this questions.
As for your political alliance with the North, enjoy it while it last for there is no permanent enemy or friend but permanent interest.Table go soon turn.
