N134.96bn in total oil and gas derivation was paid to mineral-producing states in September 2025. But look closer at the numbers:
Why does Delta State receive almost double the amount of the next highest state, Bayelsa?
What significant disparity do you notice between the top four states and the rest?
How do you think these funds should be prioritized to impact the lives of citizens in these states?
Share your thoughts on the distribution and the economic implications of these figures!

Deltans let's gather here.

Oil n Gas or MINERALS?

If the special recognition for oil n gas used to victimize the ND can be erased by Tinubu, it iwill be a good step towards justice in reaource theft.

Deltans let's gather here.

The political leadership in delta state is something else, all these billions and nothing to show for it

I thought they are giving Lagos out of this money.

Yorubas and hawusafulani that don't have a drop of oil will be telling them, Igbo want your oil,Ibo want your oil.



Please if Igbos that have oil want their oil, what do Yorubas and hawusafulani that don't have a drop of oil want from them?




I need answers to the question,no insult please.

On top say oil na mineral resources.
Good one.

That is chicken change compared to what the executives get

A Senator after his tenure at the Chambers becomes a billionaire how come.

Not to talk of the governors those one are very wicked.

Don't talk about the president, thats story for another day.

The Former Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa must vomit the N1.2 Trillion he stole from the State

Cxxxxxxxxccccccc cc cc

Delta state keep receiving billions but has nothing to show for it.

It’s not to gather here but to know what you are doing with the money. Delta state is one of the highest receivers of allocation in Nigeria for the past 10 years but the state always looking like a struggling state, nothing to write home about, no youth engagement.

Ijaw part in ondo have oil not Yorubas.



Even if they have oil.


If Igbos want south south oil, what do Yorubas and hawusafulani want?

Answer the question

Brother be calming down small, no come scatter the small table that we're managing.

Lagos has oil, Lagos has oil. Is it spiritual??

Oh 5 plot of land, ojukwu wanted SS oil. Ikwerres are not igbo you only want SS oil meanwhile only ondo state in their 6 acres is there. If not for SE & SS yoruba and hausa fulani would be babiala and full our independent region as refugees. The reason they hate disintegration or restructuring. That's how they have been leeching off our region. Shell, Total, Agip, we're all paying taxes to Lagos while they were looting our resources

Ondo state and Lagos should be on that list together na... I believe Lagos offshore oil exploration began a while back.

The oil producing state governors are not doing enough and should be ashamed of themselves .

Ondo is earning so much from different angles - - heavy allocations, oil derivations and IGRs, yet there's nothing to show for all these billions. Ondo currently has the worst performing governor in the whole of Nigeria. SMH

akpumping7720:
Mumu. So Ondo state is in the East baaah?

Stop it!

No oil from Ondo state. They don't have oil. The oil flows from Niger Delta sanctuary is what is called Ondo state oil. Very soon, the leak will be blocked.

Parasites!

When we start exploring natural gas, the SE will be the toast of the nation.

Imo state deserve more than the paltry sum allocated to it.
When one realises the enormous oil and gas sitting beneath Imo soul, you will agree with me that the state deserve more.
Meanwhile, Imo state government is not doing enough for oil bearing communities.

This is another big lies from Eyepob. Ilaje community which produces oil in Ondo is Yoruba.

Stop deceiving yourself
You receive derivation based on the quantities you produce. Imo state produces one of the lowest oil and gas in Nigeria.
