Look at these leaches...

They are demanding highest revenue for what? What are they contributing to national coffers? Almajiri and Banditry abi?

Or because valueless landmass and skewed number of Local Govts?

Well, I won’t be surprised if their requests are granted with a speed of light.

But o ma digide!

Truthissupreme:
Don't speak for me, I would give up a skewed system if it favours me but affects me in the long run

Remind me which tribe is always at the fire front crying when any change in the system is fore coming.

Remind me which group has a constituted state police to stop a particular product that is nationally legalized from entering their regions yet are against other regions from doing same

Your ansectors actually designed the system, ahmadu Bello and tafawa balewa used their numbers to divide the sharing formula to be based on numbers

Go to your history

Aufbauh:
Bulk of the problems we have in this country are systemic and those enjoying from the system will want the status quo to be maintain.

As long as the system remains like this it will improbable for Nigeria to move forward. Regardless of who and where the President comes from it won't make any viable change as he'll be tie bound by the skewed system.

Secretary to Kano State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, lamented that the Federal Government was taking too much of the revenue. “Federal Government should take 41 per cent, states 34 per cent, LGAs 24 per cent and we need an independent one per cent for Kano because it is a mini-Nigeria,” he said.

Kaduna State Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Mohammed Shuaibu, said: “Certain percentage be set aside for poverty/insecurity-ridden states, and 13 per cent derivation should remain, but extended to mineral resources.”

Grace001:
It’s all about sharing oyel money ( resources coming from the south) , parasitic region can’t present a policy on how to generate more IGR in their states.

angelfallz:
Another diversionary tactics.

Restructure Nigeria and let us start practicing fiscal federalism.

I have seen some people being angry that the NW wants to reap where they did not sow. There is no need to be angry. the current structure of Nigeria allows the NW and other geopolitical zones to reap where they did not sow, the best thing is to change the structure.

We need to support those that are pushing for fiscal federalism, true federalism! That is the only way. Your anger, memes and sly comments would not change anything.

omowolewa:
The problem is that out Sharing formular promotes Equality over Productivity all system were designed towards that.

If not North West should be agitating for Industrization and not shares of common wealth

angelfallz:
Why are you insulting them? Would your insult change anything?
The system and structure of Nigeria allows them to reap where they did not sow.
You should be advocating for a change in system and structure of Nigeria(fiscal federalism, true federalism), so that geopolitical zones would not be able to reap where they did not sow.

Truthissupreme:
would your noise change anything

There is nobody that doesn't know restructuring is the solution if no seccession.

The numerous times the people have called for restructuring what has changed

Would the north allow it

Kaduna State Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Mohammed Shuaibu, said: “Certain percentage be set aside for poverty/insecurity-ridden states, and 13 per cent derivation should remain, but extended to mineral resources.”

Be calming down!
I'm not speaking for you man. My submission is commonsensical that someone who inherit an advantage will hardly gives it up. You may be different but majority will tends towards this.

The names you mentioned are not complete if there is Nnamdi Azikwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Anthony Enahoro et al.
These heroes constituted and contributed to what we have as present day Nigeria politically, economically and otherwise.

It is also instructive to know that standing up against oppression, subjugation and any form of inequality do not necessarily have to be by numbers but by indomitable will.
Today the voice is louder not be because the narrative that the numbers has changed but others have become more aware, willing and prepare to flight back.

angelfallz:
yes my noise can change anything. But I need more people to add their voice to the noise. After all last year our noise ended SARS!

What do you mean would the north allow it? Is the north God?

If more southerners start to make noise about restructuring Nigeria, can the north stop it?

You have a defeatist mentality.

kingphilip:

Mini Nigeria kee you there.

Is it because of the overbloated population you guys claim to have?

Even Lagos that has the population and brings in the highest revenue by state, haven't requested that.

This people are really something else.

The narrative must be changed from sharing to producing then you will see the North-West producing dairy products, meat and gold instead of waiting for handouts
