Next time you people should support SW man for president again.

People that have A1 in tribalism.

If you're not tribalist enough they will call you fake yoruba.

They don't like or rate Obasanjo because he is a nationalist

AustineE1:
Oh Tinubu has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that he is the premier of the south west region and the level of negligence and marginalization of the south east, from both Buhari and Tinubu is unprecedented and this president of a 'disgraced nation', want others to be patriotic inspite of his obvious tribalism and nepotism.May be we need a Trump to make a state on tribalism in Nigeria before they will sit up.It is obvious that APC as a party has an agenda against the south east,we listened to a leak tape then,allegedly between governor Amuson and a northern colleague on their plans against ndigbo and they denied it but it is now becoming clearer,no wonder Nnamdi Kanu is held incommunicado!

ebukal67x:
The breakdown is quite revealing.

Shawarmagirl:
Yorubas will be shouting 'IT IS THE TURN OF THE SOUTH'. But in reality, all projects goes to South West.

The North should shut up and face their front. When Buhari was doing it, they accepted it and throw blind eyes just as South West accept it now and throw blind eyes. Another President from another region will eventually emerge and the Yoruba will come and wail as the North is Wailing now.

Munamu:
Why are you thinking this way? Is it not this LAGOS that you all accept as your America?

Freshandfitpod:
Country don tire person

delpee:
The bulk of the Sokoto-Badagry expressway lies within the North.

This is one meeting. It's wise to look at all the approved/ongoing projects for proper perspective.

PMB stopped Ibadan - Abuja rail line and the SE line in favor of Kano- Maradi rail line. He favored the North more in every way.

kettykin:
This is getting very interesting, does anyone have an idea of how lopsided countries end up. I saw a whole North East scoring 0 and south east scoring less than 10% even North West is less than the average of 17%. No region got 15% aside SW.

georgeakins:
Carry your wailing commot here.
You go wail die

ebukal67x:
The breakdown is quite revealing.

AMI3:
I think from the calculation the North East is taking 3%

Charbliss90:
How much is even the North contributing to the economy? You can't be putting 30% and be expecting 70% the country has spent more in the North than any other regions in the last decade. How important is the North looking at their selves

YeyeGbami:
When e reach your turn, do otherwise. For now na people wey dey in charge dey talk

kunleham:
Jonathan concentrated projects in south east and south south during his period, Buhari, concentrated project in the North, Tinubu is just following.

Olaide1295:
Fake breakdown. When did Sokoto become a part of south west?
Sokoto-Badagry expressway is the larger fraction of the funds.

odinga1of:
Interesting time ahead.

Ganduje is just waiting for PBAT to sign RMK before he will unleash the dragon.

Bros Fergie001 what do u think ?

WhizdomXX:
The
Read and understand. The section being done is in the southwest.

Minjim:
This baffles me. Most of you complaining are living in Lagos but get anger whenever FG invest in Lagos.

I bet you prefer Buhari that'll invest the money in Nigeria.

A former Special Adviser to former Kano State Governor, Salihu, has insisted that yesterday's Federal Executive Council meeting was a "South West FEC meeting".

Salihu who posted on X has been a constant critic of the alleged lopsided infrastructural raise and allocations to the South West, especially Lagos, the President's home state.
