The way I see it, the typical BLACKMAN PROBLEM is we lazy around when it comes to problem solving. What we do best is complain about the problem year in, year out. We never actually get to the point where we AGRESSIVELY tackle the problem or even get people to solve it for us, but we somehow skip over to the point where we conclude the damage is irreparable.

This happens to be what you and so many millions out there have already done in this case.

Why does he need a Central Bank Governor or the Year Award when he is the ONLY Central Bank Governor of the Year?

By atikus tone, it is obvious that he plans to keep things the way it is to favor the north. How could someone who wants to be a president say that.It is obvious that this guy cannot campaign without threats. If what he is saying is that case, then why would it matter if the SS vote for GJ.It shouldn't bother him.It's statements like that that make him look desperate.

Ola edo:
Northern and SEastern politicians. Read about the riot that took place in lagos during that year.You'll get a better understanding.

Bernanke my foot. If he were that good, how come the US senate invited Sanusi to learn how he dealt with the thieves in the Nigerian Banking sector. It's the height of Ignorance for anyone to assme that Bernanke outperformed Sanusi in 2010. Thank God The Banker of owned by FT is not a Nigerian outfit. People like you would have said that he bribed them to get the award. Pshewwww

The guy has brought up a very important point here!

Using the case of Ondo Vs. Ekiti as an example

Ondo is an oil producing state; why should Ondo keep a large share of the money accruing to them from the sale of oil , money that otherwise belong to both states ? How is that fair to Ekiti?

If you discount the Federal allocation coming to Ekiti State, there is nothing else from other sources.

Ondo State is now among the nine oil producing States in Nigeria that share out of the 13% allocation of the gross Federal Revenues usually reserved for such states on pro rata basis, depending on how many oil wells are drilled in their territorial waters, and the sheer volume or size of their oil and liquefied gas deposit and the quality The crude oil coming out of Nigeria is generally regarded among the best in the world. Ondo State used to be considered number 4. It then moved to number 2 on the rating scale and is most likely moving to number 1 today, because no less than 255 oil wells which used to be classified under Delta State are all now expected to be ceded to Ondo State, following a new Territorial Adjudication Panel recommendations approved by the Federal Government. That was point number one. Point number two is the discovery of Bitumen in large commercial quantities in Ondo State, not to talk of the limitless opportunities Ondo State now has to expand her Oluwa Glass Manufacturing Factory at Igbokoda area and all the revenues that those and allied industries could generate in the immediate future, if the Ondo State Government now in the PDP column, can get its priorities right. Gone are those days when the Federal Government used to look the other way, when issues concerning the interest and welfare of Ondo State come up for discussion.

With a responsible Government, Ondo State stands the chance of becoming the most economic buoyant state in the Nigerian Federation. Ondo State has got everything. The manpower base is huge and well informed The soil is good for Agriculture, and Ondo State may well become the Food Basket of Nigeria if the arrangement to bring in the Government of Israel to help, can be pursued to its logical conclusion. Ondo State is a huge Cocoa producing State in Nigeria. Much of the cocoa produced in Nigeria, come from Ala Ajagbusi, and Igbatoro Familugba all belonging to Akure, the State Capital. Much of the Timber Nigeria depends on today, also comes from the same area, and more importantly from the Ofosu Forest Reserve all owned by the State Capital

And in a federalist system, Ondo would be keeping more of the money to themselves, keeping poorer states like Ekiti in the lurch. And the money Ondo would be keeping to herself, directly or indirectly belongs to both Ekiti and Ondo. So how is true federalism fair to Ekiti and why Ekiti support such a proposition?

Go to Ebonyi State and talk fiscal federalism to them, or Ekiti State, or even Oyo State, in what way would it benefit them?
