this calculation is for monthly

[b]Why do we not have the reports for Southwest and Southeast?

Anyways, Tinubu government enriching Nigerian governors and lawmakers, while the citizens grope in hardship and starvation!b]

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?

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?

Were we getting close to 700billion steadily monthly?

wellmax:
Later people will ask where did the savings from subsidy go.

Brendaniel:
You don't still get the point, Tinubu has done 2 trillion , the problem is 700 billion in Buhari's time has more value than the 2 trillion Tinubu is doing now

Zocalite:
You are just myopic and parochial, try to open your mind

If there's problem in your house, who will people first call upon?

How do people hold gov accountable? Can you bring any governor to your bedroom to ask him questions

Have you ever gone to government house and you were allowed to see a governor

Have anyone in your state ever sued a sitting gov

tinubu removed subsidy, devalue naira, increased taxes and levies and started packing some of the money to gov so they come to his party, what did he tell the govs to do with the money

Have you heard govs paying non civil servant salary

Use your brain

wellmax:
That what happens when you focus on FG and Tinubu alone and leaving your state governors to do anyhow.

Time to change focus and hold your governors to account by for the huge payout. Only very few governors have made good use of these funds. And the reason is simple, they know how gullible the citizens are. Every one will focus and on Tinubu and FG

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.

TimeManager:
The Federal Government has revealed that the elimination of the petrol subsidy under President Bola Tinubu has resulted in savings of over $84 billion, which are now being channelled into the construction and rehabilitation of 40 key road projects across the country over the past two years.

This was disclosed in a policy brief released by the National Orientation Agency (NOA), titled “Two Years Later: Key Benefits of Subsidy Removal,” and made available to journalists over the weekend in Abuja.

The report, which reviewed the outcomes of the subsidy removal since May 29, 2023, noted that the policy averted a looming economic crisis.

It also enabled the Tinubu administration to clear long-standing financial liabilities, increase capital investments, and support the financial stability of state governments.

In dollars, not in naira. In Nigeria, we spend naira. Our state governments pay salaries and do projects mostly in naira. Meaning they have had more than enough change to spare since Tinubu. They severally attest to this.
For instance my state paid 100billion salaries when they received 150billion. Now, they are receiving more than 300billion. You can bet they didn't double salaries which is usually their main expense.

Zocalite:
Which state are you from?

How do you hold a governor responsible, have you done it yourself

A governor that's held responsible has you are trying to say, what will such governor be doing

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’

(A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors).

During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

Joseph stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ?

Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Do you see the number of handle mop following obi as if he is a seat? what of the one following dino malaye?

Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.

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.
