Akwa ibom State government, atleast you have something to use and build new hotels, worship centers, 20 lanes roads and, stadiums while we are suffering here.

oyeb15:
Those funds ought to be share directly to d accounts of the citizens of those states.

Lol..

You want make them kill the president be that..

Asaba should be one of the best cities in Nigeria if not Africa but I don't understand if this is Africa thing or we are cursed

Ola9ja23:
The IPOBidients would rather blame Tinubu for their misfortune

all these people who have yemi and ola in their names no dey always get sense

Despite the huge derivation funds, distributed to these states regularly,
they still:
-top the nation's unemployment rate chart

-have uncleared backlogs of gratuities dating as far back as 8years and more

-high level of insecurity in the states

-thousands of white elephant projects littered across the state

SMH....I weep for Akwa Ibom

i hate the way that state is run
like people in uyo will be hearing billions but they are broke

And go to a this states that received the huge billions of naira ...bad roads, no rural development,... villages, communities in bad condition, no constant electricity light, their people in poverty hardship unemployment

GeneralPula:
Mehn..

State like Bayelsa, what exactly are they doing with their money?

The 13 percent derivation fund differs from the three percent provided for host communities in the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), from the oil companies operating expenses (OPEX).

These people are receiving money no be small!

And nothing to write about. Bayelsa is just one big glorified village.

The sad reality 😔

After collecting this kind money, there will still be dragging federal government to come and develop the state.

Creamypie:
Them delta own will be looted, sent abroad, then the remaining change, used to buy mansions for their girlfriends in Asaba

Lol. Nobe lie bro

I really weep honestly.

Interesting

Spirit04:
There are no roads in Delta and Edo state. Two states I'm very attached to

No roads keh? How do you go out? How do you return home, assuming you reside in Delta state? How do you go from Warri to Asaba? From Agbor to Eku? From Kwale to Ogwashi? No be road you dey pass? How do you get to Asaba head bridge? No be bridge dey Koka so? How do you move around in Warri, Ughelli, etc?

Those useless and wasteful Governors among them will just squander the peoples money for jamboree projects
and Owambe at the expense of the suffering masses and the dead infrastructures....

EFCC should be at Alert and start monitoring the funds because of these thief-thief governors
to bring those who shot-change the people to book without delay

That is why the Akwa state governor held a retreat at Lagos to do a meeting, conference in which he could had done it in Akwa ibom state... because he has billions of naira from 13% derivation to waste he went to Lagos to do the retreat, meeting, conference at Lagos with his commission r s and government officials

Sunisonflex39:
So it's half a billion dollars..but yet nothing to show in the aforementioned states..

But why ibom money dey big pass Rivers State money..?

They produce more.

Criminal political looters.
I weep for Bayelsa.

You give job to elected adult come start to think like this join.

It’s really a shame with the uselessness of our politicians. The state assembly to join.

Kings having to become slaves in foreign lands.

muykem:
Assuming it's possible, they could have paid the money to a construction companies directly to come and execute projects.

Dreal1247:
The land of Delta State is bitterly weeping over the gross wastage of the resources meant to upgrade the state to one of the most beautiful States in Nigeria. But the predating politicians have made her one of the most infracturaly backward states in the country.

30Bn per month yet stori stori. Lol

New or old roads?

If old, are they being maintained by DTSG?

For how much if they re maintaining them?

What of Derivation from solid minerals

Most of the money goes into providing security against militancy, kidnapping & pipeline vandalism. They also spend a lot to clean up oil spillage
Hence, the state govt has little left to fund developmental projects

I guess it's because they produce more crude oil than Rivers state

I weep for Bayelsa.

Most of the money given to Bayelsa state is spent on providing security against militancy, pipeline vandalism & kidnapping which are prevalent in such area. They also spend a lot to clean up oil spillage.
The state govt has little left to execute developmental projects after spending a lion share of money on the aforementioned

It's because much of the money goes into provision of security & oil spill clean up

Delta state should start holding their governors accountable. Some of the men should train as assassins so they can take out any government that does not perform. All this democratic voting is nonsense. Delta men too dull.

Why should the proceeds of Nigerian
crude oil be shared amongst only a few states? This is abruptly wrong.

theophorus:
Delta one of the "worstest" state to live in.

A state that's suppose to be the Dubai of Nigeria.

Okowa and him gang of thieves should be hanged

God bless you, bro/sis! Bayelsa State has the lowest number of Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Nigeria- only 8- and nothing in that state reflects this huge allocations they receive from regular FAAC, 13% derivation, NDDC, Amnesty Programme, etc, etc. They keep voting rogues...

Even if these politicians, who are former and current Governors of Bayelsa State (like Delta State) steal, shouldn't we even see some minimum use of their resources?
