Bayelsa state is a proof that Ijaw people lack the mental capacity to run a state.
They think that running a state is by doing gra gra gra not knowing that it is like running a company. Look at the state. Currently I can buy Bayelsa with the 5 Naira change in my pocket because it is worth 0 Naira 0 kobo after being declared insolvent.
They always rely on "Our Oil in Bayelsa this and that" but fail to put into consideration the business aspect behind the drilling, marketing and exporting the oil. They fail to calculate how the drill works, how the market is and how dividends are shared.
Sincerely if the whole oil rig in Bayelsa are handed over to the Ijaw people, within six months it will become an abandoned heap of metal.
Maybe that's why they are bent on deceiving themselves into thinking that somehow they can manage to coerce some igbo people (Ndoki, Ubani, Opubo, even us in Anambra state and Delta) into their BROKE Ijaw enclave.
Just think about it because it makes no sense for someone to be pointing at someone that doesn't look like him or share any aspect of culture with him and calling him "brother' except he is lost and needs someone to lead him.
Bayelsa state have exposed Ijaw people. All they want is someone or should I say a brain to lead them that's why they are looking for any Igbo to join their rank.

There is this special type of anger I get when I see people from the same Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Benue and Taraba say the same thing Kaduna Nzeogwu's crew said that made them do the coup. The same thing they tried to avert, happening before this generationa eyes yet the people of that same place chose to side with the Caliphate when it mattered most.


On behalf of St. MAJOR Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, Col. Nwobosi, Lt. Wale Ademoyega, Major Ifeanyi Ifeajuna, Major Don Okafor, I say "Fvck you ALL, you deserve whatever you are getting today. Ndị ara"

Ikology:
Are you an IPOB member? Why are you trying to defend them. All these unrest IPOB created in the southeast will hunt them. When you create chaos you create room for all manner of atrocities to creep in. Judgement awaits them.

Explain to me how IPOB created chaos by asking for the dignity and rights of all Ndigbo in general and other people of Old Eastern region?
No, explain to me because you seem to know more about Ndigbo, Igboland and old East than me living in it

They have assassinated him to frame IPOB.
Chai. May his soul rest in Peace.

This is how they are doing politics with Igbo blood and business like the spare parts truck they burnt at Onicha.
Its high time everybody is allowed to arm themselves

ThEGodFaThEr103:
I can see "Awaa Oyeel people" Robbstark and Captain8 in that picture drinking away their sorrows.

LOL

richmond500:
yeye, Seven bottles of oil weh ona try get, we no go hear word again

No be 2 cups again?
Keep increasing

PIMPAR:
3 litres of oil. Chestbeating don start

Don't confuse the amount of the oil with how many litres of Ogogoro you drink every morning

Nwanyiogwashi:
Once they claim those communities around Anambra , they will start claiming ogwashi ukwu too

Its obvious .
They will say that when the War Canoe House got to Ogbaru, one of the crew members had a violent dispute (they always use this term) with the drunk Captain on where to urinate, so they threw him overboard and he managed to find his way through Asaba to Ogwashi-Ukwu.
Then to end it, they will say that they will be hosting a reunion with the people of Ogwashi-Ukwu.
Lol, mere thinking of this is very funny.
It always go like this

kmcutez:
No one likes the Igbo people more than my mum. Trust me. She is always praising you guys. I think she is just telling it as she sees it. She said the main reason Delta Igbo will not go with you guys is the lack of unity, whatever that means and the possibility of Biafra happening. She said Igbos are not united.

If wishes were horses, Ndigbo wouldn't be united.
Tell her people to do one sit at home let's see her own peoples unity. Or any group that you think are united in Nigeria.
That wish "Igbos are not united" have been proven wrong times without numbers.
I think Buhari rode on that myth to receive the greatest disgrace a sitting president could ever receive in Nigeria.
As for the acclaimed lack of Unity between Mainland and Western Igboland, I believe she doesn't know anything about the War or the people.
Like I asked, why was Isheagu and other Enuani communities burnt down during the war?

Nne, you are right.
I believe that right now, somewhere in one joint in the creek that they are drafting how to link things up to claim those territories. I believe by now that they will be studying the map, linking up how they carried their boats on their heads, jumped over Epie lands and sailed to Anambra Basin
Maybe they will call the place one Ogogoro induced name or the other
Very funny set of drunkards.
We are waiting for them

So the Sultan have indirectly referred to Mr Frederick Lugard as God.
A Muslim oh, just because of Southern Oil.
Chai

kmcutez:
Lol. My mom just laughed when I read some of your writings to her. She said Ndokwa/Ukwuani people are not even thinking about you guys, talk more of following you to your Biafra. She said even Delta Igbo people will not go with you guys.

I assume by "Delta Igbo" that you are talking about Enuani.
So, Please help me tell her that one only speaks for herself and people, so she have no right to speak of people (Delta Igbo) that she doesn't share any feelings/emotions or pain with.
Ask her why the people of Isheagu was massacred and the town burnt down by Ika and Bini people during the war.
You sit in your Isoko house and say that people that risked death to smuggle food into Igbo hinterland (East) during the war will think twice if option to join Biafra is presented to them.

Let it be known everywhere that I, BKayy Chukwu is in support of the demolition of this eyesore which have served as a focal point of disgrace to the people of Ngwa and Ndigbo nile at large.
Ya gazie

thebosstrevor1:
They are supporting the bill.

The bill has no north vs south direction but you have made it like that.

The firs is fighting against it.

See, lets be logical, if lagos, rivers, kano and kaduna pass similar bill, it will only benefit them, lot of smaller states will go bankrupt no matter the geographical area.

Any state that will go bankrupt because of this shouldn't exist in the first place.
Aftet this comes resource control.
Every state should take control of 85% of whatever comes out from it

thebosstrevor1:
Good for you.

The first top generating vat revenue for Nigeria, no south east states are among.

There are 2 northern state( kano and kaduna), fct 1 south south ( river) and 1 south west states( lagos)

These are where the most vat revenues comes from

This statistics is exactly what we want to put to test.
The VAT should be paid directly to state who will now present to the FG her own figure based on how much she earns and subsequently take full control of its 85%.
If Kaduna, Kano and Abuja (don't let me laugh) are so confident that the figures are real then they should support the movement. They should lend their voices so that they can equally enjoy the humongous VAT from their states and jurisdiction respectively

Good news

bobowaja:
How can someone even say fg give Rivers 13% derivatives but fg is taking 87% from Rivers resources. Is that fg doing Rivers a favor or stealing from it?

Like I take 10 oranges you plucked but gave you 2 out of it as a favor.

Collect 100% vat from Rivers and give less than 40% back. Where are the rest going to?

And someone is using illiteracy to justify FG scam on vat by saying sebi Rivers is collecting 13% derivatives. Aboki, there shouldn't be derivatives in the first place, na resource control e suppose be if not that the FG is robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Omo, where these people deh get education sef? Them no suppose join them with educated south at all.

If all oil producing states are in charge of all their resources and vat, most states up there will turn to LGAs.

Let me help you summarise it for the Aboki that won't understand your complex grammar.
In summary "The state should be paying the FG"
"The states should be the ones releasing statistics of their VAT and Oil productions not a secondary party doctoring it to suit FG quota system"

Restructuring is here.
This is the beginning of God's plan. If continued, very soon nobody will care where the president comes from anymore because the states will be 80% in control of what they have and produce, thus making the FG a mere employee.
Pay directly to the state, so that the state can account for what she worths not to another party who will later release doctored reports to justify their population and economic scam

Safyqueen:
If you are a human being with home training, how does this bring about insults on the northerners vis-a-vis their mode of worshipping ALMIGHTY GOD?

You think VAT is everything?] If Kano state introduce tax on every non indigene doing business in Kano especially Ibos, do you think wahala will not ensue? They may not care because they know only few of their people are in the East. If you don't know let me tell you, most of the beverages industries in the south has their farms in the north, what of security personnel, I m talking about human resources, you think Nigeria is just great because of VAT, no, is because of her population and mineral resources and the rest.

@ emboldened, it will lead to tremendous increase in price of goods in Kano. Of which if the profit could not sustain it, the businessmen will move to another viable place, thus reducing Kano to a waste land.
Government is not run with sentiments

Norwichsailor:
Lets use an analogy to explain the nonsense you're saying. U lay 100 eggs, I as fg collect 87 a d leave u with 13, then maybe give u 20 later as federal allocation, and in ur mind its fg property you're collecting? You're very shallow

In other words, he got 33 out of his own 100 eggs, while someone that didn't lay at all got 20 free eggs, making mere 13 the cost of the production (laying the eggs). The reason why Niger Delta is this daft is because they are not good in business. They don't keep account of "Cost" only the acclaimed profit

mhmsadyq:
Is Kano worried?

Who is worried if not them. Which state made Wike to move this campaign?
They are the most worried

Almost 10 years or more now.
Then we used to watch NTA Asaba, DBS, Minaj Obosi and ITV although we live in Anambra because ABS was a joke and Anambra NTA never airs, if it does it will be like looking through a heavy rain.
It was as if we are living in Delta State.
May God continue to punish whoever it was that was in charge of Anambra Media then.
Mr and ANSMEDIA I hope you people have fixed it

BleedTears:
I am not a lagosian, either am I from PH.

But na 85-90% for the sake of peace, if not na 95%

Anybody when no like am should go and work hard in his state.

Some governor just sit down, dey harvest, dey leap where they did not sow.

Even people that claims they have the highest population by state.
Now the VAT on telecoms will prove them right or wrong if this works. They will have to explain how they contribute high VAT when the FG was in charge but fail to sustain themselves when it was desolved to state level.
You now see why the North is worried. Most especially Kano

DubaiLandLord:
Lol

By the time most states in the North and South can't pay salaries, I hope you won't
be one of the people screaming to the FG, for them(FG) to bail them(Unviable states) out.

I'm also in support of States keeping 100% of there VATs. But, it shouldn't be done in such a hasty way.

Then the states shouldn't have existed in the first place.
One thing for sure if this VAT work will be reassessment of the Vat statistics. Then you will realise that most states are empty because the statistics will now come from the state directly.

mfm04622:
Do we have 30 Northern States? Affected states cut across North ad South

Then why is it only the North that is complaining despite the statistics that put them as the population and economic hub of Nigeria?
Incase you have forgotten, Nigerian statistics put North at 75m people

DubaiLandLord:
FIRS should just renogotiate with the major states. For example, Lagos State, FCT, Rivers and the rest of the states can keep 50-60% of what she generates, why the rest of the 40% will be shared among the 36 stayed and the FCT equally.

There can be a timeline, It can be till 2030. Between 2021 and 2030, the rest of the states go don dey work hard, towards creating a conducive environment for business to be establish in each State.


This will be a win win situation for the states and FG.

Never. I am not in support.
The states should decide how they spend what they made. This will make the other governors work and prove why their states should exist or risk being absorbed by other states that want to.
This is like an exam for the state government.
This is exactly what their work is not leaching on other states

You people really believe Nigerian statistics?
If you do then shame on you, you don't use your brain.
If we are to go with Nigerian statistics, the states that should have been complaining is SE states but somehow, those the statistics favour, ie those that are population and financial hubs of the country are chewing their tongue.
What does that mean? Those statistics have been wrong all these while.
You think Ebonyi is broke?
Why is the Governor not complaining?
This VAT is exposing the fraud in Nigeria.

bobowaja:
If there is resource control in the first place. Rivers will have 100% of that and won't be sharing it proceeds with north and Niger Republic.

So, what is your point again?

Nice reply.
Imagine someone calculating another mans income for him. That Tolly boy is just Shameless

The ones complaining that some states want to keep half of what is produced in their own state.
In clearer terms, The Whole North plus Niger Republic
