The sheer scale of the latest FAAC allocations for the first seven months of 2025 has ignited a national debate! With a staggering difference between the top-receiving and lower-receiving geopolitical zones, the data points to a crucial factor: the 13% Derivation Fund.
is the current revenue-sharing formula a fair and effective tool for balanced national development, or does it permanently entrench regional fiscal disparity?

Always The Big Heart State, for the last 10 years straight, it is not even close.

Niger Delta states have the highest allocation but nothing to show for it, everyone is always focused on the federal government instead of holding their governors accountable for the development of the state.

What a shame.

So where is the record for South west

What of the South West, why are they not on the list? Abi they did not receive any allocation.

Are these in naira or USD? This archaic, anti federalism, and anti developmental sharing pot arrangement has truly rendered both the federal government and states to be lazy parasites subsisting on petrodollars and taxes from underperforming Nigerian companies and poor people.

These monies that states are sharing, there is God oh. Not to mention increased security votes for governors in South East while they keep playing politics with the people.

I explained something this morning:

Under Buhari, FG shared in a single month as much as 700 billion naira at its peak , when converted to dollars that translates to about 1.5 billion dollars at the time, now in Tinubu's administration, the highest he has shared in a single month is about 2 trillion and that translates to just about 1.3 billion dollars, the screenshots are all there(CBN official rates where used for both calculations)

You can see from the analysis that Tinubu has not done anything better than Buhari infact he has even done worse, and who are the people paying for his nonsense, the citizens, imagine removing subsidy, then increasing money that he has devalued beyond Buhari's time to give to state that cannot do what could be done during Buhari's time and still borrowing recklessly and still taxing the citizens more than Buhari and still taking more loans like the country is completely broke...

At who's expense? the citizens, What is really annoying me about Tinubu's presidency is the fact that the man is busy destroying the country for his personal gains and blame is been thrown to other people, or he is being praised for doing better than what his predecessors did when in reality the reverse is the case.

this allocation is always skewed and I still don't get why some barren states receive more than productive states.

Why merge? Restructure so that each state can control her resources.

Richtaiwo:
Some 5 villages should be merged as one, or highest 2. This method of revenue allocation is not fair. 2 states collecting allocation of 5 states, the worst system ever.

Imagine, Oyo state alone bigger than 5 states, yet the 5 states getting allocation for 5 states while Oyo still collects for one state. The military rulers kept changing local government areas to states, which kind of warped system is that?

Lagos is the smallest state, therefore Lagos should get the lowest allocation according to your logic.

Clap for yourself.

Una don dey claim Oyo now, tommorrow you go claim Lagos.

Babablu bulabu.

No South West. What type if data is this

Where are the South West States?

Let's see their own share

Hehehe 🤭😂

Donate N100

Collect N1,000,000

Story of my life. These are the best days for an IGaaaaRR muncher like me

Abeg make una help me say hi to LegendHero, he blocked me because of this very shame if you see him posting his usual types of posts abeg tell am to go answer SeeWahala and stop running 🏃🏻‍♂️

Wating for lagos and south west

And Lagos state?

Tor... Make we rest

Immediately the state of emergency was declared in Rivers state, the state received over 300billy the next month.

Just a metriculous observer.

Let everyone go there separate ways,you can keep your big for nothing “landmass” to yourselves while the small regions keep their resources to themselves.

Money is reflective of the value it can store. That's why easy money goes easily.

The value of one million naira in the possession of an individual obtained through illicit means is demonstrably less than the equivalent sum earned through diligent labor.

Enhanced productivity is achieved by prioritizing value creation over mere financial gain.

Public accountability remains the bane of undevelopement in naija.

Lol, you conveniently forgot to think yearly or quarterly, make we check something.

States were created to erase the unity in south east.

So cry me River Niger.

You can't eat your cake and have it.

Crude Oil Revenue distribution has never been fair to the oil producing states. Until that is addressed, we have to keep the VAT distributions the same.

this calculation is for monthly

Where are the husband and wife? The West and east

This is the reason governors are moving to apc.

Imagine how rich bayelsa stare gov will be now
