Keep deceiving yourself.
So North will support Peter Obi and leave Jonathan?

Which north, there is nothing like north, north central will vote Obi, Jonathan time has passed, he should support others.

Nonexisting1:
There's more fire in the opposition than in the coalition but there's fire everywhere. Gej coming into this equation is really game changer. Peter Obi I believe will humble himself to queue behind him and accept a strong ministerial role but Atiku will die a natural death in politics and emilokan will relocate back to Idagbiji. I will support Gej over PO because he has been a player who made some mistakes and have also been a spectator at the same time so he knows the mistakes and how to deal with them now. If there is someone to put us back in the right track quicker, it is him. PO as president will start learning the roles for almost a year and that gives him 3yrs to actually start working but Gej will go to work on day one. I'm Peter Obi supporter but I'm not a blind one.

Peter Obi will win Jonathan in free and fair election. Jonnathan have ruled Nigeria for 6 years, he should support Obi

I am from South, they are very much right, they deserve the 13% derivation for the contribution, it should not be based on oil alone.

Igbos constitute 45% of Lagos population and that make them a majority tribe in Lagos, the remaining 55% is divided among other tribes Hausa, Ijaw, etc, with Yorubas struggling to grab 40% even Egun, Awori doesn’t see theirselves as full Yorubas, if not for intimidation and violence against Igbos in elections, Igbos will almost win all senate and house of rep seat in Lagos.

Preme03:
I don't totally believe that how can the igbos be more than the Host state

Igbos constitute 40% of Lagos population and that make them a majority, the remaining 60% is divided among other tribes Hausa, Ijaw, etc, with Yorubas struggling to grab 45% even Egun, Awori doesn’t see theirselves as full Yorubas, if not for intimidation and violence against Igbos in elections, Igbos will almost all senate and house of rep seat in Lagos.

If I were Sanwo Olu, I would accelerate the rate at which Lagos indigenes are loved and cared for and every other Yoruba person too. I would declare free medical treatment for all Yoruba indigenes , ensured they are registered and paid a certain stipend. I would personally sponsor their marriages and encourage them to give birth without paying a dime for child delivery. All Yoruba leaders must think and act fast to protect their land . No more selling of land to outsiders . These are some of the ways to go

Then hunger will kpai the politicians in Lagos,the state money will be for servicing debt and state will become bankrupt,the best bet is for you to have Odua republic.

Ttalk:
The eyes of the liberal Yoruba have opened, let Obi come back and harvest the vote of hatred, abuse and arrogance planted by his brothers n 2027, we are waiting for them

In free and fair election, Igbos will win Lagos. Yibba use intimidation and voter apathy to win.

The SW ask for regional government but without resource control. They want to sustain the SW with cash from crude oil and gas in the SS and SE but have autonomy for the SW. Ridiculous set.

During Obasanjo administration's National Political Reforms Conference in 2005, the SW Conferees teamed up with the Northern Conferees to reject the minimal percentage increase in derivation from oil propised by Conferees from the SS and the SE. The Conference ended abruptly because of that.

They want to eat their cake and have it, Lagos collect other state VAT because all oil, bank and company headquarters is in Lagos. VAT should be collected where products are consumed and headquarters should relocated where they do their business.

Ttalk:
The living standard of Oyo people cant improve until the leeches SE states wake up and start generating VAT into the Federation cover.

If SW is serious let’s regionalise Nigeria into autonomous regions and see which region will do better. Stop hiding under current Nigeria scheme to carry shoulder up where SW collect VAT consumed in other states.

onuman:
Then declare Oduduwa Republic since all the SW states generated enough money to keep Oduduwa Republic thriving.
You depend on cheap cash from crude oyel in the Niger delta region.
All these Bayo Onanuga generated statistics on VAT are getting too much.

Don’t mind them let them keep on deceiving theirselves, oil money runs Nigeria, nothing like VAT, if the SW is truely churning out this money as they always claim, is in their hands to regionalise Nigeria into Autonomous regions which the SE is fighting for years now. They keep on hidden and dishing out fake data.

If not because of tribalism and religion, APC will not be winning elections in Nigeria because they have nothing to offer. Nigerians will be suffering and be voting who no send them, after they will keep on crying up and down.

Dead on arrival, didn’t solve the major issues like Northerners collecting VAT on Alcohol and companies paying VAT to their headquarters.

Farmsolution:
Even with that, where is the market in other zones. The leaders there are lazy and lacks foresight . Will you leave Lagos to go and stay in aba or onitsha or orlu. No... Lagos collects all the bats because no multinational will want to relocate further inland their headquarters far away from their embassies and exit and entry points .

That is old story, mtn and co have offices everywhere and pay VAT to Lagos, oil companies drill oil in East and pay vat to Lagos. You are not yet serious, so stop taunting the Igbos

Let oil companies headquarters go back to their regions and cooperate headquarters go back to regions let’s see who contributes more.

Farmsolution:
I detest this kind of sharing similar.. but they won't talk now . How can you be eating from where you did not sow. The people making the money should at least earn 50%

Can you support regionalisation and resource control, Lagos collect all the VAT, let’s go to reality and see whiat regions really contribute.

blamingthedevil:
So the loud mouth South East is the parasite region. The northern region are performing better than South East. This is the failure of leadership from that region responsible for lack of productivity

If e sure for you guys, regionalise and give every region equal opportunity make fowl nyash open. Sitting down in Lagos and be collecting other state IGR and making mouth 👄

How will Federal government allocate land to someone in Lagos in 2003, something is not adding up.

Igbos are not only indigenous to SE Nigeria but also to SS and North Central Nigeria

dedonfranco:
I haven't seen why President Tinubu willnt return.... Almost all the state Governors are supporting him.

The mindset of some Nigerians is somehow, is it the governors that is voting or the people, the moment the masses make the politicians to understand they have 1 vote the better

Putindbutt:
These are nonsense talks... Nobody forced him to make the pledge. He wanted to payback to the school that made him who he has become, without the school, he would have been nothing I. life. He is not doing the school any favors, as a matter of fact, during his time, the tuition fee was free of charge. So, don't bring your low self esteem on this thread. The school did not put a gun on his head to do it.

Show us any other tribe that have done such in South Eastern Nigeria. Igbos have a good heart and they are mainly not tribalistic.

AngelicBeing:
1 million dollars is equivalent to = 160,000,000 Naira, kudos to the Guy.........................................................

Wrong, it is actually billions when calculated -1 dollar is 1600*1000,000=1,600,000,000

Igbo Amaka, they are nation builders, they deserve the best

South West is just boasting for nothing, popping out irrelevant IGR, if e sure for you regionalise Nigeria, let’s compete on equal basis not sitting down in Lagos and collecting VAT of other states consumption. Let SE have equal representation first.

You are just writing this to please your pay masters, anybody can write this but reality on ground is clear

A failed nation cannot treat their citizens right, you vote tribalism and religion in Nigeria not competence.

Period007:
With what's happening in Iran in the last few days, Nigeria Army is more powerful than Iran abeg.

First day of war and all their top generals gets wiped out like chickens.

You think is a war between Boko haram and Nigeria army, no African country will survive this kind of advance weapon bombing, 6 hours alone all military bases is gone. Nigeria don’t have that technology.

DMerciful:
No civilian govt has capacity to create states except illegitimate military govt.

All states in Nigeria were created from illegitimate military govts starting from Gowon!

The plebiscite that created the midwest region started with the colonial masters.

Are you saying that you are not a human being and incapable of making changes for the betterment of your society without the military.

Anioma State is more viable and better than creating another one inside SE.

He is just fighting for his stomach infrastructure

flokii:
The Igbos don't know the damage they are doing to themselves.. it's after 30 -40 yrs they will realize how shall0w they are in thinking. Buying up SW lands when you're not even sure whether you'l live up to 3 yrs or even 2 weeks sef after buying the lands is a very si.lly endeavor
They don't even sit down to think that what if something happens in SW and Yoruba people ask them to leave in an unpleasant manner.. what would be their own fate and the fate of their younger generations.

The day 1 Yoruba decides to return from overseas to invest The State Government of that Yoruba State he/she hails from can revoke ownership of up to 10,000 lands being occupied by non-Yorubas to pave way for their own. That's one simple logic they never care to think of.

International law applies, you can’t sell your land, collect someone money and turn back to revoke the land, that is criminality. The law stated that the ownership is 99 years.
