24-states are just stealing Nigerian Resources, SW, SE, SS & NC.

pocom16:


The only resource largely developed is Oil..

The restructuring you are craving for will only make matters worse for state with nothing to show for in terms of economic activities

Emmabyte:
Where is the so called allocation coming from
You take money from another state and call it allocation, every state should look for something doing

Ttipsy:

State with nothing “

Can you come again?
What natural resources do Japan have again?
You pipo r just greed and lazy

SoNature:


States don't have to depend on natural resources to thrive. This is the mistake we make. States will build hydropower plants and sell electricity to their neighbours, make money through agriculture, have state buses that convey passengers within and outside the state, etc. We just need creative minds to be in government. The worst of us work in public service... instead of the best.

This is the edge that rich countries have over poor countries. With the way the US and China are investing in technology, you won't even know that those two countries are the world's biggest exporters of crude oil. In Nigeria, we get small crude oil come lose our sense. I laugh when people say that America has nothing.

pocom16:


Lol... you want to compare Japanese to Nigerians or Africans in general?..

Keep sleeping..
Right now Africans can only thrive on their resources...

Japan thrives on a knowledge based economy

Blitzerz:
Nigeria is a fairytale created to expire soon.

Imagine existing as a state to yearn and longer throat on other peoples resources.

Ignoring your own human and mineral resources.


Shameful entity

Ttipsy:
your are totally against the law of economic diversification
So sad

pocom16:


I am not..
But you are not being realistic..
This is Africa not America or Japan..this factor is what you are missing..

Even the north African countries that are miles ahead of the rest are still resource dependent

Glitcher:
let the south south states be. The whole money being shared across the country belong to them. If the crude oil in the south was found in the east or north I'm sure they won't share.

Ttipsy:
japan and USA. Singapore started from somewhere and that is why they are currently where they are today.
Pple asking for true federalism, economic diversification and state autonomy is actually doing the right thing. Paving a way for a prosperous future

pocom16:


Alright..let see if Nigerians of all countries in Africa can do such..

You didn't even say south Africa or Egypt...

Nigeria..with Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and the rest minorities?..lol

aniblue:
No Niger delta state should be on that list but the same FG has decided to make the oil a national assets while the solid minerals in other zones are meant for individuals.

Most of the oil companies in Niger delta pays tax to Lagos while production is ongoing in the Niger delta, leaving the place toxic with oil spills l, environmental damages , toxic gases release to the environment, roof damages, soil condemn etc

SoNature:
How can Akwa Ibom and Delta States be paying N127.8bn and N110.3bn in salaries respectively? What value do those workers bring to the table to warrant earning sums that their states cannot generate? These two states are the highest on the list.

BTW, two-third of Nigerian states cannot pay salaries without federal intervention, yet politicians are talking about state police. First things first. Before state police, restructure Nigeria to allow states or regions control their resources and then pay taxes to the centre. If not, the level of corruption in today's police will be a child's play.

oyatz:


Parts of the work force will be trained to become State Police.

Even now, States can invest and have access to their resources.

Kaido:
Akwa Ibom too?

commoditiesnig:
Bro this is a very poor defense and silly excuse.

Are you telling me that a whole oil producing state like Bayelsa can't innovate ways to generate Adequate IGR?

Is Rivers not also employing Oil workers and generating adequate IGR?

Even Edo state without oil is not on the list.

Pls don't give such lame excuses ok. I'm also from S.S

atobs4real:
Mad people everywhere.
When they can't think outside the box.
Only FG money sweet pass

agitator:


Will you support resource control? Apart from oil, which other natural resources is being extracted and to generate revenue that is being shared?

Kindly list them and how much is generated yearly.

You whole Federal budget is benchmarked against oil prices. why is is so?

Why bring the East into it?
Imo, Anambra and Abia have oil wells,so why do you feel justified to bring the East into it?

Pinicop:
25 states, not 24
