Uptheante:

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

you no serious for this talk..me when dey stay niger delta na u dey tell this lie

How can Ondo receive more than 1 billion?😏😏😏😏

Uptheante:

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

Lamba!!!

Big lies and puerile excuses. Tell that to the birds.

All the money ended up in polithiefcians pockets.

How come Rivers is ahead of other Niger Delta states in development

Can't wait for my dear home state, Nasarawa to join this privileged league!

May God bless you greatly for these words 🙏. This is exactly what I have always thought about too.

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

And some people will say southwest no get oil see anambra see ondo

If you are from rivers, delta, bayelsa and akwa Ibom know that They are wasting your development. Know that a few greedy men are wacking the growth of your state.

These states plus Lagos, Ogun, kano and kaduna have no reason not to be developing like Johannesburg and co.

ufotunang:
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

that retreat was held at akwa ibom house in lagos state.

Uptheante:

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

If it's offshore, I'll agree..
80 percent of ibom crude are offshore

But onshore, rivers produce more..

muykem:

The thieves called politicians would not allow that money for development, that has been the major problem of Nigeria from time in memorial.

More funds to loot

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

I feel you. I call both these states home, having lived in both. Its soon shameful to see the level of infrastructure decay. These states should be among the best in the nation, on terms of roads, schools, hospitals...

The social media warriors of Okowa will not agree, they are all over X.

And still, their people are leaving in abject poverty without access to good health care,education drinking water.

Niger Delta states are supposed to be the most developed states in Nigeria, due to the oil revenue that accrues to them in term of 13% derivation, yet they are no better than every other state in the country. Abi what is the difference between Bayelsa and Ekiti? In what way is Akwa Ibom better than Kano? Is Delta more developed than Osun?

What each of these so called oil producing states gets is bigger than annual budgets of many West African countries.

Where's Bello's own na .kogi?

Ondo gets more than the SE

no wonder they are always attaching and saying we the SS/SE

They are not among

What about Bauchi and Gombe state,I thought they are oil producing state.

NAC1666:

They have the oil and gas reserves. But they are yet to start production

Hopemanfx:
that retreat was held at akwa ibom house in lagos state.

..so Akwa ibom has an Akwa ibom house in Lagos..then does Lagos State have a Lagos State House in Akwa ibom ?... wasting money building an Akwa ibom house in Lagos

The SS, SE and SW masses won't hold their governors, politicians accountable, rather will be busy abusing abokis, Hausa's, Buharis in govt. Buhari paid 13 percent derivation arrears from 1999 to date to the governors, but the funds were embezzled.

Ola9ja23:
The IPOBidients would rather blame Tinubu for their misfortune

have sense for once

Ondo alone is earning more than all the south east states.

most of the oil companies are quatered in PH and operate from there so they pay tax to RSG.

saysoo:

What tax do they pay? What is the name of the tax?

At the return of democracy in 1999, the oil producing states were demanding for resource allocations and for 50% derivation.

Now, their masses are no longer requesting for them seeing the 13% has largely been mismanaged.

If these states had been prudent with their funds, there'll be 3 times as many projects and state debt would be much lower.

Delta state is biggest debtor state in this country despite the Billions received by the tgen Governor Okowa, no one knows what Ifeanyi Okowa did with Delta state fund.

How can Ondo receive more than 1 billion?😏😏😏😏

Maybe u can write the federal government. There may be mistakes in the allocation

Zico5:

No mistake anywhere.

It was shared accurately according to the proportion which they produce

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.

Delta Youths are the most idiotic and naive people I know. They are the ones encouraging the bad politicians.
