WE WERE ALL NIGERIANS BEFORE YORUBA INTRODUCED TRIBALISM AND THE HAUSA ISLAMISED BIGGOTRY.

DO I NEED TO REMIND YOU THAT OJUKWU HIMSELF AND HIS FATHER WERE PROUD NIGERIANS THAT MADE MORE VALID CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COUNTRY THAT ARE VISIBLE, THAN THE BIGOTRY YORUBAS KEEP INSTITUTIONALIZING AND SPREADING?

NIGERIA STOCK EXCHANGE WAS THE BRAIN CHILD OF SIR LOUIS OJUKWU.

HIS SON CHUKWUEMEKA OJUKWU WAS THE FIRST CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY GRADUATE TO JOIN THE NIGERIA ARMY.

WAT MORE DO U PEOPLE WANT FROM US IGBOS, EVEN AFTER DRINKING THE BLOOD OF THREE MILLION IGBOS.

WAT MORE DO U PEOPLE WANT?

Baby science. The technology behind the drone is too simple, too crass that trying to project it as something extraordinary smacks of high level retardation. There's nothing significant in constructing a drone. It's baby science. I'm saying this because of some mummified minds who'd consider it a giant stride and the tribalists who think it's an edge. This is baby science.

luvinhubby:
Sorry for asking, how many of the too simple to construct drones have you yourself have constructed?

The man is a master strategist,

He uses humility to 'capture' his superiors.

That is why he is always on the rise.

This man will be your President one day.

My only happiness about this all important road is that the distance from Onitsha to Abuja will be reduced to about 3hrs journey on the road. Though it was GEJ that started the road.

NIGERIA IS A SHARING FORMULAR.

IT IS THE ACCEPTANCE OF STRENGTH IN OUR DIVERSITY.

RESPECTING OUR DIFFERENCES WHILST CELEBRATING OUR SIMILARITIES AND COMMON HERITAGE.

WE ARE ONE PEOPLE, ONE NATION WITH COMMON GOALS, AMBITION AND DREAMS.

ANY PROMOTION OF ETHNOCENTRIC AGENDA, FOSTERS CONFLICT.

THIS HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA SINCE ITS INCEPTION AND Y PEOPLE THINK IT SHOULD BE BROKEN APART.

AMBODE LEGISLATION IS ETHNOCENTRIC AND UNFAIR TO OTHER TRIBES RESIDENT IN LAGOS.

\Arrant nonsense. French is an official language, such as English, in most of the West African countries. Yari.ba is not a language used anywhere to conduct official business of state or country.

Intrepid01:
I just read thru this thread and I must confess that your sense of competitive discussions with facts, figures and logic is superb.....nice one.

Ngozi123:
Nope as the Nigerian government is pretty useless at documenting it's citizens. However, we do know that Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria, which gave it benefits over other states in terms of access to foreign investments and federal investment. It was and still is the headquarter of many oil companies- I don't think that I need to explain the advantages of this. This has actually been detrimental to other states (not just the Igbo ones) and has caused flocks of people to migrate there, start businesses there and help build the economy. I can't believe that we actually have people here that are trying to underplay other tribes' contribution to Lagos. It's very sad.

imhotep:
I know you are suffersticated, read very well >>>>

usba:
Unfortunately you are not addressing reasonable people, you are dealing with pigs and idiots of Biafra incapable of thinking cannot be reasoned with always asking senseless questions. It is like asking who has met a Fulani Christian or Hausa Christian, they exist but are not very rare.

One the port which is given to Lagos by nature and generates a huge amount of income.

omenkaLives:
Thank God this is coming from vanguard. The best they are likely to do is avoid the thread since good news hurts their darkened hearts so much like spears through the heart.

While the people on ground rejoice over such laudable actions, they keep winning on social media like starving little piglets.

Hope to see more of this in the months ahead.

I guess you guys are not saying the truth by claiming nothing was done on the road, the road construction was going on when GEJ was President, the contractor handling the project abounded the road third quarter of 2015, I thank PMB for continuing where his predecessor stopped same with second niger bridge, Enugu/Onitsha and Enugu/ Port Harcourt road and what have you.

These last pictures I took when I visit the road in 2016.

Ngozi123:
46 billion Naira is not a lot for an entire state with a population of 4 million, although Obiano should be doing much more with it. Anambra State has still in no way profited from large scale immigration, as Lagos state has.

Ngozi123:
I apologise, you're correct here. Still, the difference in what they give/recieve is not hugely disproportionate when you compare it to other states. They give little and they receive little. I will ask my original question again: how exactly is it profiting from immigration of Nigerians from other states on a large scale?

Ngozi123:
It's in odd format and I don't know how to post a link for that. Google "Nigeria federal revenue allocation" and "Internally generated revenue at state level" and then you'll find the two pdf files.

FG, states, LGs, share N1.41trn in Q’1 2017 | ON MAY 22, 2017:

Abuja — The Federal Government, the 36 states and their local government areas have so far shared N1.4 trillion from the federation account, being revenue generated in the first quarter of 2017. The breakdown is contained in the monthly Federation Account Allocation Committee, FAAC, report obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria, yesterday, in Abuja. The key agencies that remit funds into the federation account are Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC; Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, and Nigeria Customs Service. The total revenue shared in January between the federal, states and local governments was N430.16 billion, meaning that federal took N168 billion, states, N114.28 billion and local governments, N85.4 billion.

The report showed that before distribution, state liabilities were deducted. The liabilities paid by the states in the first quarter, included an external debt of N8.73 billion, contractual obligations of N30.15 billion and other deductions amounting to N50.23 billion.....

What each State got;
Abia N8.42bn
Adamawa N7.8bn
A-Ibom N34.88bn
Anambra, N8.7bn
Bauchi, N7.9bn
Bayelsa, N22.97bn......

2011 - 6,148,922,395.00
2012 - 7,601,585,012.15
2013 - 8,731,599,912.43

2015 - 14,793,120,188.67
2016 - 14,793,120,188.67

Internally Generated Revenues for Anambra State increased from N6.14bn in 2011 to N14.79bn in 2015. NB: Anambra is yet to report H1 2016 IGR figure, The state's 2015 figure was adopted for 2016. This will be revised when actual full year values are received.

Ngozi123:
As of 2016, Anambra State generated 14.8 billion, this has likely increased in the past year. In the first quarter of last year, it received 1.8 billion from the federal government. Take of that what you will.

oodualover:
That is akpu-logic right there

oodualover:
Not just primary and secondary but even in their universities. They are pathetic hypocrites. Fuvking develish, big-eyed, two-faced, big-headed, hypocritical and useless animals that will always complain of being victimised all the time.
Pathetic stinking animals that always poke their ugly noses into other people affairs, but will complain when when you reciprocate. This same animals that have been blaming us for their inability to actualize Biafra, the pigs that called us unity beggars are the ones that are refusing to mind their business.
I believe the devil created this things known as ibos.

cKaiser:
How much is Anambra generating and how much is it putting back into the treasury. Aside the oil producing states, Lagos is the other state that can boast of not receiving more than it is giving to the coffers of the FGN

Lagos as a state generates what is commensurate with what it makes, One of the major non oil revenue of the country is the Ports and the proceeds is shared with other places in the country

Ngozi123:
How did I know that this was the argument that you were going to make? The Anambra State government has not received a disproportionate amount from the federal coffers compared to what it has put in.

Are you really trying to say that the influence of non-indigenes in Anambra State is comparable to that of Lagos? Seriously??

babadem2much:
That guy El-Rufai is marred with so many things, first his proximity to the ground is so close, he is a sycophant, hypocrite, pretender, though he prove to be humble, while we the watching and observing committee knows him like kilode... If you vex comanbeatme. You and him no help nobody....
Thank you

kettykings:
this man is so humble

Ngozi123:
It's not a "spin", it's the truth. Do you dispute this?

anibirelawal:
I didnt mention any particular tribe, but it is "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN"

Ngozi123:
Anambra State doesn't have the luxury of benefiting massively from immigration of Nigerians from other states on such a large scale. You're comparing apples to oranges here. If Anambra State was developed by people from across Nigeria, and their resources, on a large scale and still decided to do this then you'd have a point.

anibirelawal:
OK...
On behalf of the people and government of lagos state, i appoligize for the inconviniences we may have incur to other tribes in our dear state on our recent policy guiding our language and culture. please bear with us. thanks.
