AwkaFinest:
Sorry, but Akwa Ibom does not have a high IGR.
Akwa Ibom has an IGR of about 30 billion yearly.
Rivers has an IGR of about 120 billion yearly.
Akwa Ibom has a high allocation. But when you are talking about IGR besides Lagos, FCT and Rivers, you should be looking at Ogun and Delta. If you put Allocation and IGR together, Delta is even higher than Akwa Ibom.


Like I said, budget is not available income, rather it's expected income.

You can budget 1 billion naira, does not mean you have 1 billion naira.
I've given you CRS as an example.

SmartPolician:
What's working for Lagos is the huge market that has been created in the state. Thanks to her population. Therefore, that free trade zone may not work for Akwa Ibom. Here's the catch: Before you execute a project, you do the feasibility study. He probably did it, and it wasn't viable.

I expected you to write about the seaport because all the seaports in the Delta are not operating at optimal level. Udom has set up many agro-allied industries to create jobs and boost the economy of the state. If you don't know them, google it. This is commendable.

As for the airline, uncle, I am sorry that it wasn't meant to benefit oridnary Akwa Ibom people. It's a source of revenue generation for the state. Today, the airline is acquiring planes to cover many routes across the country. This is the first state-run airline in the country. He deserves a pat on the back for that.

Lest I forget, Udom has built some of the best road infrastructure this administration can boast of. Guess what, it's tax-free, unlike the Lagos you mentioned where motorists pay tolls to use those facilities.

BTW, I want to see Akwa Ibom State government invest in human capital development and stop her people from doing menial jobs outside the state. Akwa Ibom people are too rich (based on Nigerian standard) to be suffering.

Lastly, my dear brother, a budget doesn't mean money. It means a financial plan. That financial figure is not available anywhere. Governments draft budgets every year, hoping they will use it as guidelines for meeting their annual objectives. Do you know what? That money is not available anywhere and no Nigerian state achieves 100% of its budget.

Just before you reply me, make sure you understood the points I raised here.

AwkaFinest:
It puts Akwa Ibom second in term of budget, not in terms of yearly income. By yearly income AKS is not second. Note that income it's not only by allocation, but by both allocation and IGR.

Kobonaire4:
At the end, the problem with Ruga is many other tribes see it (maybe unreasonably, but they have a point) as a land grab by Fulanis.

My idea is simple....fulanis stay up North in ranches, and transport cows by rail for processing to other parts of the country. The ranches can be fed by irrigation fueled by electric pumps.

Is it a perfect idea? No. But it at least IMHO...deals with all the scaremongering and sloganeering from both sides.


Seriously, roaming around with cows has to stop. In 1940, we was around 40 million people. No clashes. Now we are 220 million. And the land mass has not gotten any bigger.

AwkaFinest:
Note that budget does not mean you have the money. It's just like Cross River having a budget of over a thrillion niara few years ago.
Budget is just an expectation, not a fact.
Akwa Ibom is not among the states that have the capacity to realize her huge budget in a given financial year.
So don't use budget as a yardstick.

Kobonaire4:
That's not how it works.

At the end, we still have the problem of bad land planning and nomadic herdsmen.

Which require solutions that go way beyond the rule of the gun.

Besides, a massive shootout on herdsmen can lead to them regrouping and launching a virtual guerilla war on both farmers and the army. Care to find out how that would end? More deaths.

At the end of the day, we need to do more than 'attack, attack'.

(P.S This is a problem that affects many African countries. Part of South sudan;s problem is nomadic cow herders...who are not Fulani by the way. We got to end nomadic grazing, and do better land planning...and no, I don't support RUGA or whatever).

SmartPolician:
Akwa Ibom State has been getting her leadership right back to back.

I like that Udom Emmanuel is taking steps to boost the state's economic strength and create jobs for the people.

Congratulations!

POINT OF CORRECTION!!
NIGERIA DOESN'T HAVE AN INSTITUTION CALLED NIGERIAN MILITARY
WHAT WE HAVE IS NORTHERN MILITARY

THE GLOBAL FIREPOWER INDEX IS FOR NORTHERN NIGERIA MILITARY

BECAUSE ALL 17 SECURITY CHIEFS IN NIGERIA ARE FROM THE NORTH.
NO WONDER NIGERIAN MILITARY COULD NOT DEFEAT BOKO HARAM AND BANDITS.

Their military.. NOT NIGERIA MILITARY

I noticed the phone just came out recently.

The reviews I'm seeing on youtube is not all that wow-ing concerning the phone.

But all the same, I think I will buy the phone considering that it has 8GB of RAM plus memory fusion.

Burruchaga71:
APC knows how to cage PDP. BAT is actually a sound political strategist.

If BAT is actually a sound political strategist, how come he loses his state of origin Osun, Lagos state where he governed and FCT. Infact BAT is nobody as long as Nigeria politics is concerned.

MVLOX:
Yes and No.. Yes because I had the opportunity of getting Degree in a better course that would have given me more exposure and financial stability over the years but greed made me choose something else and that's why I regret it
