Any comment or article that has to do with northern leaders am seeing it as boring and less important as they present themselves as such

Aboki don put eye 👀 on Lagos state and God thunder go strike that their evil eyes.

Dem don finally dey wise sumor sumor😂🤣

MASTAkiLLAh:
These criminals have another plan

Northerners have always believed that Abuja is their colony until Tinubu came and make a southerner the FCT minister for the first shocking time. Now, I guess they intend to reciprocate that by making northerners the FCT ministers in the proposed southern FCT.

As someone has correctly argued, it will only be that other FCTs will have to be built from the scratch just like Abuja was built.

teamv:
Yeah the FG can build f.c.t in other regions but it should be in a village or area that is not developed build it from scratch as you build Abuja

There is nothing wrong with Abuja as the capital. A capital doesn't have to have a seaport. Abuja is a beautiful, prosperous, and emerging giant city.

A point of information under the constitution, every Nigerian already has equal access to every part of Nigeria only that some like to keep theirs close to their chest and we know that more and more will be enlightened to see that this needs to change.

After essentially bankrupting Nigeria to develop Abuja as FCT now they are seeking to keep it for themselves and crowd already congested Rivers and Lagos how unintelligent. They just need regional offices in addition to having the headquarters of several ministries in Abuja. Nigeria is too big for everyone to have to go to Abuja for everything.

That is a very good move.

I also think the FG should designate the South East as an FCT.

Tunde he is talking about your almighty Lagos o!

One day power will go back to the north, they will declare a state of emergency in Lagos and most of you will be killed by the military because you will want to resist it.

Thank you Tinubu for the wonderful example in rivers state.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

see envy and frustration

This actually makes alot of sense.. it ultimately helps to devolve Development instead of overfocusing on Abuja.

South Africa used the same strategy.. with about three different capitals around the country in J'burg, Pretoria and Cape Town all developing side by side..

the northern group with their mallam sense so you want to turn other peoples state / land into to free for all but you no mention any northern state.

Well, talking of regional offices, the federal government already has giant federal secretariats in most states, with most of the ministries represented. Why does the country need 2 additional capitals.

By the way, only last year, some Northerners led by Senator Ndume, were screaming on social media, that 'Tinubu wants to destroy the North', just because a small team within the CBN was moved from Abuja to Lagos where more than 90% of bank headquarters are located.

Suddenly, some of them are now duplicitously proposing Abuja's capital status be disintegrated and shared with other cities.

What changed? I know what has changed. Nothing.

It is a back door attempt at control. For them, Lagos is becoming too economically and financially powerful.

The suggestion of Port Harcourt as a potential 3rd capital is a ruse. The real target is Lagos.

Signs of the end of One-Nigeria ?

Regionalism ?

I suspect tinubu is behind this. Wants to control those places irrespective SoE or ruling party there.

MadamExcellency:
Kano State should be the first if there is a need for such a constitutional amendment.

Zooposki:
They should make Lagos FCT. Abuja in the North, Lagos in the South. Federal government money developed Lagos. If they want PH, they should make Kano FCT too.

So, the North will have two FCTs, Abuja & Kano, does it make sense?

Salewa97:
FG should just ignore this one.

Lagos and Rivers are too classy to be FCTs.

God bless the day you were born, Ma'am,for your robus understanding of their game plans!
Which one be ' Growth and Development of Northern Nigeria'- and Since was it Launched?
Please,leave Lagos Out of this- is the Commercial Capital of Nigeria,as London and Tokyo 🗼 is to UK and Japan Respectively!

Let it be federal capital cities-FCC and port Harcourt and Ikeja should have this titles.

DeLaRue:
I agree.

You Gerrit, with the way Lagos keeps growing, no matter who's in Abuja they can't influence, control much or anything

Does not why focus on southern state. is it for developmental or political reason. the abuja FCt is not even well maintain talk less of 3.

This people dont understand the concept of federalism

By the way Oga South africa is not practicing Federalism where a Federal capital is required for seat of the Federal government. they are a unitary system

When your mates dey go school, you dey chop mango for bush. They are mentioning specific city/state to be considered for FCTs, your own na entire geo-political region.

It should be Lagos and Calabar

Na wetin escaping tribe go like be this

Good development

The idea is not that bad

moscow007:
Not even Enugu, but Rivers...Igbos don suffer ooo

oga we don't need it here, let them take, do you even understand what is federal capital, abi na small pikin you be

These people and their unending parasitism.

They are smart sha.

They want access to all rich zones of the South where they can plunder in the name of one naijeria.

At face value, you would think there's nothing wrong with creating another Abuja.

But unlike Abuja that took from the center because there is no resources there, those two states of Lagos and rivers would be the ones feeding the center.

The northerners now want the same right to the resources and opportunities present in those states like an indigene, where they can crowd themselves in.

True talk bro!
Lagos will Continue to move- On The Match- we go-by Rail, Roads 🛣️ - by Air.
We All Saw the Lagos Design - From Lattef Jakande - Era- which Buhari/ Idiagbon-disrupted then!
But Thank God For Subsequent Governors - As They Continued to Build Fantastic 😊 Lagos Foundation,on Yearly Basis.
With an Estimated Population of Over Million- far higher than Some West African Countries!
Make Una go Rest With Una Agenda!
Make Una Wait - till we Finished the Construction 🏗️🚧 of Lagos- Calabar Coastal Highways Roads- passing through Other 9- States,then we go talk to this Group then.

Even their name Growth and Development of Northern Nigeria (GDNN) is already enough to tell you that they only care about northern interests, at the expense of everybody else.

There's nothing nationalistic about the intentions.

Include Sokoto,Kaduna, Kano and Maiduguri.

Rubbish

AuItsene:
Include Sokoto,Kaduna, Kano and Maiduguri.

It still won't be worth giving away Lagos and rivers states to the north.

spiSeyi:
Rightly said Muritala planned the move of FCT to ABJ and it actualization by IBB is out of bigotry. ABJ has no sea port no substantial IGR . But PBAT won't want this to happen bcs he might end up losing the control of Lag

you guys should stop putting history upside down...akintola aguda commission was under Gowon who approved with the advice of Awolowo relocation of the federal capital from Lagos to Abuja ..not Muritala.

That said this clowns do not know the meaning of what a federation is .. saying the North has been at the receiving end of developing FCT abuja and is being treated unfairly is very dishonest,also saying indigenous people of kogi, nassarawa,Kaduna niger should be given more priority..it seems this people forgot the main reason why the capital was moved from lagos ...its because of the indigens problem.. government has moved yhe indigenous people of abuja and the communities compensated to othee neighboring state..none of them can lay claim to any land ..if not series of casea would av been in the supreme court.

Abeg the should stop creating problem where there is not with all this their mushroom organization.

The solution is a regional government each with its own capital and governor general. Six governor general under one federal prime minister.

Good idea. But they should build any village from ground up just like Abuja

Lol…e be like say me and my guys go form group sef…the rate mushroom groups dey spring up everyday is alarming

TyroneP:
Lagos as Economic Capital
Rivers as Administrative Capital
FCT as Seat of Government

What is difference between seat of government and administrative capital. i think its a foolish idea Nigeria does not need more government ppl to feed as they are the one eating all the money meant for development. As them small like dis the money they make no even dey circulate or improve the cities.. talk less of adding more federal mouths

The economic capital is based on private industry and hustle. also access to sea
