We currently run a weak system that encourages profligacy, waste and underdevelopment. We are suffering the consequences of decades of getting free oil money from the centres without contributing anything to it. That system is a recipe for disaster and poverty.

It will continue to get worse if our rulers don't think about restructuring this system. We've been saying it for years.

This is where I try to make distinctions between ND and the Biafrans.

While the ND has a very reasonable and legitimate cause they are fighting for(I just may not like how they go about it) the Biafran on the other hand has a different power mongering cause they're fighting for.

Honestly if I had my way I would put a stop to the useless and irresponsible sharing of oil proceeds. Let everyone fend for themselves.

I've stopped seeing myself as a ND for years;I'm an Easterner, who's power block was divided into SS/SE by the Northern Oligarchy so as to make us appear different, disagreeable and consequently powerless, and at the mercy of the sons of Uthman Dan Fodio!

I've stopped falling for their divide and rule tactics!

The Igbos or ANY other people reserve the inalienable rights to determine their destiny and future. We saw it happened last year in UK when Scotland was granted and exercised their right through a referendum, but BLACKS ARE BLACKS, and aren't evolved enough to understand unity cannot be forced or forceful.

The only way we can stop this irresponsible sharing of our resources to the cost centres of other states is BY WALKING TOGETHER WITH THE IGBOS, if truly you're ONE OF US!

There's nothing tribalistic about my seeking the happiness and welfare of my tribe. It's patriotism!

If you're still seeing the Igbos as your enemies, SORRY!

Giving them money to pay salaries while they steal the states blind. SMH. Until we return to fiscal federalism we go just dey parambulate.

The ND you are trying to give distinct advocacy for is Biafraland.
Stop all this your division, it is no longer selling.

The likes of you see Igbo speaking Biafrans as your problem, while others rape you doggy and useless the resources yet can't use it to make even their own lives better.

The governor is being mischievous.

ALWAYS LOOKING 4 EXCUSES CS I KNW DY OBOLO EYE ALSO HAVE A SHARE IN DY BAILOUT ND YET EFCC WILL NT BLOCK HIS ACCOUNT Y DNT CBN STOP DY ALLOCATION OF SECURITY VOTES TO DIS WORTHLESS LEADERS

As we speak, this isn't about potential oil. Currently, those who feed Nigerians are not Igbo. Someone from warri, akwa ibom, bayelsa, cross river does not see himself as an Igbo.
Lastly I think most state can survive without oil esp in the south. Free money is what's killing us.

Anyways, I don't see Igbo as Nigerian problem o. How they wan be my pblm but I believe if they succeed with Biafra, Nigeria will be better off.
The south east economy isn't friendly, there is diff BTW residence of south east and the economy. I stay in Owerri for 10 month as a Corper, I know what am saying.

Your head dey there.
It is a complicated mess.
Most times the LGA is an appendage if the state governors. I know a state where the governor just asks for the LG caretaker committee chairman to submit the payroll at the end of every month and the salary is paid by the state government, then LGA chairman is given like 200k to paint a school or change roof in a village market etc.
The rest of the allocation ends in the Governors pocket and the chairman dare not ask.
Imagine this happening in a state with 25 LGAS?
When you hear such governors asking for bailout, you can see why I feel like bathing them with spittle.

Dividing Nigeria is never the solution to our problem. I wish the leaders can see it with my eyes.


America is larger in size and population than Nigeria, yet they live peacefully. China is larger in size and population than Nigeria, yet they live peacefully.


Our leaders must look for the brain behind agitation for division and put an end to it once and for all. I don't mean by war/victimization. I mean at a round table. For me, what cannot be solved at a table can never be solved through the barrel of the gun.


God bless Nigeria.

Thank you for this assertion, but do you think the president with steps taken already is towing the part of unifying Nigeria

Owerri is a civil service state Oga. have u stayed in Anambra? they are constructing 3 malls, three flyovers, increasing salaries etc. while others are begging 4 bailouts. Only ten months in the least commercialized city and u claim to kw wat u are talking about? and by the way can we discuss Oyo state and dia unmanageable debts and leave the SE out of it. the topic of the thread is clear

What are the oil companies doing in Owaza, ASA Ukwa, Uguta, Imo River, Anioma, Oyibo, Anambra, what is that oil well doing beside Aba.
What of all the gas being suck from Abia, Anambra and IMO doing?

Thunder blast your head, parasites.

So u can only use anambra that's constructing 3 malls, its not like they have constructed 3 malls, only ibadan has 2 existing mall 1 semi mall close to UI and another one at Jericho mall to start operation towards fecember. What they do in Onitsha mostly is trade. The brewery there isn't up to 1/10 of the one in ibadan in terms of size and capacity, the tummy tummy plus some other factory cannot account for the worth and capacity of the tobacco firm in ibadan.
The government of Oyo state is owing, I believe that's cos of corruption or bad planning.
I know wetin I dey talk no be say dem tell me.
Oh, ten month isn't enough kwa. How many you want make I spend o. Owerri now is the least commercial city in SE. So Enugu and ebonyi are way better.

My question for Ajimobi and i dont want explanatory answer. Answer in one word: Did you steal from Oyo State Government through your position; Yes or No?

Cahi Mumu, na Oguta not Uguta. Am sure u have not been to location in your life. I have. I only speak of IMO and Onitsha. Currently Una no get that much oil. The oil exploration at both oguta and egbema is very small. Guy shut up. Maybe potentially, you are told u have a lot. Like My friend from Delta will say, oil wey dey my backyard for house alone triple the one at ohaji/egbema plus oguta.

Aside the fact that many would still become jobless, I still believe The Local Government is a Liability to Nigeria.


They rarely perform any meaning function or contribute anything to Nigeria.

yes they really do, the problem is just having the rite man in the position. Mine function so well, he's transforming the LGA in strides

I believe President Buhari has advisers whom I expect to contribute to the success of Mr President to justify their huge pay.

You just wasted my KB. Let me start from IMO state. As at June Oguta and Ohaji/Egbema has the highest oil concentration. Go and check the investment there. Its relatively nothing bro.
See ehn, be open minded, don't be rigid. Potential is different from actual.
All those graphic even meant there are more oil field in IMO than Delta which I think its not true.

ibadanfinest:

No ask am, we all know the answer is YES

lets giv him 'benefit of doubt' cos i dont know who he was referring to, saying that 'money had been stolen'. by who?
O ga gan!

...

Ajumobi that promised to run the govt and succeed as he did while at shell
His number one problem started from when he started bidding for second term. He had to compromise a lot.
Ajumobi, u still have 3 years to turn things around.

Whynotthetruth:
I wonder which government he was referring to as the thief there...BTW 95% of APC states have accumulated debts that will keep their different states down for the next 20-30years...APC leaders are the definition of everything evil and corruption in Nigeria because they have NOTORIOUS thieves whose record beats counterparts in PDP...

I wonder... this is his 2nd term, or maybe he's still referring to the government of about 5yrs ago.... all these debts they're procuring now, will it not pay on the next government?. I pity the next governor of my state, Osun

If bail out fund is not enough to
pay salaries then return it to
FG and resign honorably. Dont
put it to other use. We are tired
of Nigeriangubernatorial excesses.
