PoliticsRe: Politics, Governance and Economy: How Do These Affect IGR Of States? by NikAustine: 2:02pm On May 03, 2021
helinues:
Wait, is it that you are finding it hard to comprehend what I have been writing or what?

What's stopping each region/state from developing their land now? Are they waiting for restructuring / or new country before they can embark on development?

Ordinary states in a region have not worked together, develop together, create jobs together.. Who will rescue the unviable state when oil money stopped?
If we don't restructure today we will suffer tomorrow when oil money stops flowing. Today oil money can no longer fund our recurrent and capital expenditure...
so imagine how it will be like when finally there isn't any money...how will those supposed viable state/ non viable states survive then?

If we restructure today, merge Anambra with Ebonyi state , Imo with Enugu and abia... one way or the other..they will find a way to survive...yes, it might be hard at first but subsequently things will start getting into place...

Same thing with Akwa ibom and cross river and other states of the fdrtion.

What I'm trying to say is that let us restructure now and suffer it now...so that tomorrow we will enjoy now oil isnt already useless.
Imagine when it becomes absolutely useless...even the states with oil will suffer then

no lies but let's celebrate the winners of today and we wud still celebrate the winners of tomorrow when they wins it
No doubt..shey hopefully when Juve win it next season with Ronaldo you will also celebrate them and him? Just as you're taunting him now and also you will taunt Inter and Lukaku them right?

Also when he wins the Italian golden boot...you will congratulate him to just as you were yabbing him the last season when that other guy( forgotten his name)...won it ahead of Ronaldo?

Today's where is that guy self? no where to be found...but you still see Ronaldo there..
Give honour to whom it due.

Obasanjo's era was very different.


Minimum wage was 5500, now it's 18000

Population was 120m, today, it's 200m


According to OPEC records, Obasanjo and Buhari's accrued oil revenue are very close, Buhari is practically working with same revenue as twenty years ago.


As for Angola, I did a little googling:
You did a little goggling for Angola..
why don't you also check it economy growth rate and see how faster it growing than Nigeria's.
There are one of the faster growing economies in Africa and in the world at large...where else Nigeria is growing on less than 2 ....these countries are on 6, 7, 7.5, 8, etc..some even faster than China's.


Obasenjo you can say had lesser population, than Buhari...but you also forgot that our 18000 minimum wage today isn't much different from obasenjo's 5000 as you said..

Buhari economic policies has also cost companies to fold up and leave the country thereby throwing workers into unemployment...Many are leaving the country in droves etc...
See I agree with you, Jonathan was a failure but we shouldn't also had re-voted a failure into power.
We had Moghalu, Sowere and others parties.
Even if you didn't want PDP..den what of others parties?

Nigeria is worse than it was in 2015, everyone knows this, but the problem is; are the conditions of then same as today?


Where this administration has glaringly fail is in the areas of economy and security. If you're not a shallow or biased analyst, you will realize that those two are Siamese twins. Whenever the economy sink, it takes security along.


What specific thing did the PDP government do that made us have better economy and security pre 2015? The answer is nothing. They were just lucky enough to have all the billions rolling in from crude sales.


If you check the OPEC record of accrued oil revenue since 1999, you will see that Buhari government had like 60% less oil cash compared to Jonathan's. And we all know that oil gives us 90% of our income.



The reason why infrastructure is doing well under Buhari is because almost all borrowed and recovered funds are going in that direction, while the rest of the sectors are cash crunched.


Most bandits terrorising us today were smugglers of good across the porous borders, now that forex is scarce and they cannot do smuggling anymore, they resort to banditry and kidnapping.


If Nigeria's revenue can go back to what it used to and we have enough forex to service all sectors, 90% of our security problem will go away.


I know some PDP Dundees will descend on me, but before they do, they should answer these questions:


1. Does Buhari government have less cash to work with or not?

2. Is there a connection between low revenue and bad economy/insecurity


3. If Jonathan was still president, whould he have done better, considering his finance minister was already ringing the bell?
You also forgot that obasenjo's had lesser cash than pmb and yet economy was good so was security even though we also had high debt..

I agree with you, PMB has less money than Jonathan did, but if you combined all his borrowing etc...you will see that the Man has failed and failed well.
By the way, is Nigeria the only nation in Africa that oil prices affected? Look at others oil producing countries in Africa they are doing well. there is security, their economy are booming.
Check out Angola..they produce oil to Like Nigeria... yet, their economy is better, security is better etc...
So using your parameters, it meqns Angola due to lower oil prices should be doing as worst as Nigeria But economically and security wise

People like you aren't from the delta..or maybe you think Edo north (Auchi) is part of the delta..
Then youre mistaking.

If you're even from the delta you will know that igbo( BIAFRA) are part of the delta.. We have the anioma in delta state..we have the Oyigbo in Rivers State and there are indigenous Igbos in other delta states so I'm pretty sure those ones are willing to share their oil with their kit and kin in the East

congrats to a well deserved champion, seems thier early removal from UCL n no europa is a blessing in disguise to them, Juve weren't on form all tru d season n milan started well in d first half of the season but lost form n now finding it back very late..
I jus love how conte built this team to be champions and how he made them build play from d back, all players found confidence n even out of form players like erikson, sanchez n even lautario all started scoring and helped d team to d title unlike last season dt lukaku was doing d scoring all alone..
congrats once again to inter for breaking juve dominance but the biggest loser would be pirlo n he may gets sacked but I dnt see conte going bk to juve bcoz dt juve aint ready to compete..
as for cr7, he cnt do it by himself, Juve players needs to sit up
All of your topic that involves football or Italian league you always find a way to sneak in Ronaldo inside it.
Juve can't be champions forever.
time go come Dem go fall.
Even Man City where win they 3rd league title I. 4 years .time will come there will not even see one title in 10 years.. so calm down
Today Juve is down, tomorrow there will rise.
weather Ronaldo win the Champions league or not he will still be known as Mr champions league the world over.

The Nigerian press is a huge let down. They are feeding fat from traffic revenue from bad news and fake news and it got them drunk. I still cringe at the audacity of Channels TV. Haba!!! shocked

They should bring Shekau tomorrow. After Shekau, they should go to where ever and bring the bandits and IPOB terrorists leader killing our patriots and innocent citizens and interview him at 10pm prime time and let him make inflammatory statements that will cause more death so they can report the death.

Channels TV and its officials behaved so badly and unpatriotic that they covered the terrorist on Sunday prime time 7pm to deliberately allow him make seditious warfare attack against the state using misinformation on the platform of Channels TV and make rallying call to his terrorists base just 24hrs after our gallant security men decimated their ranks and it was so consequential that today, less than 24hrs after the interview of the terrorist, there's a bloody tribal clash in Lagos today ! Channels TV is culpable and they should all be held to account and NBC do to Channels TV what SEC did to Oando.

NBC should go beyond punishing Channels TV and recommend the arrest of the approving authority for the interview and whoever arranged the interview to the DSS. Channels TV is a corporate identity and not tangible, the individuals using the brand to sabotage the country must be prosecuted separately.visit www.freestuffsng.com for latest freestuffs in Nigeria.

Have Boko haram not been bombing , killing and kidnapping people for more than a decade? Why are they not operating in any part of the Southern region?

Pushing it further can never be a threat to FGN, Nigeria army, other regions except the rag tag ESN and the region SE.

Are ESN/UGM footsoldiers up to 2,000? Where do they want to operate from ?

You better tell them not to bring unnecessary destruction of lives and property to SE region cos it's a fight they can never and never win...
And you to do not get it. a war in the East will spillover to the SS which is the cashcow of Nigeria because just like in Rivers, we have indigenous Igbos in delta too. there will blow up oil installations etc there by bringing the Nigeria Economy to a halt.
Or has Nigeria stop depending on oil?
When they do being that to a halt how will Nigeria purchase weapons to fight the ESN, and Boko Haram at the same time?
With Nigeria Economy down, it will affect the west and Lagos in particular and workers will be sack etc?
