It isn't that you bennefit in any way from the sharing formula allocated to your respective state governors in your one Nijeriya, so why exactly do the 95% leaches and Plebs of the north and southwest oppose any talk or demand for fiscal autonomy for respective states?

I have tried to warp my head around this crass stance as every allocation to their thieving governor's ends up being squandered and looted with little or no direct bennefit to them.

In Oyo, the state govt is now moving in to privatize public schools and is no secret that most of the southwest ACN controlled states are by far the most heavily indebted with no single tangible project on ground to show for such monumental huge debts.

But, their reasons for voicing opposition to any form of resource control and review of fiscal autonomy for states aren't to keep their thieving lords and rulers fed with federal allocation since they bennefit virtually nothing from this arrangement but rather out of pure jealousy of the better south getting way ahead of them in every developmental stride.


While the north is afraid of an economically viable SS and SE region stemming from the fear of a repeat of a Biafran seccesion or demand for full autonomy, the southwest Plebian crew are more concerned with not seeing the better south overtake them in developmental stride.


In order to see this in full action, you just need to view the Akwa Ibom developmental thread and see the cringe worthy and shameless hatred the Yoruba posters commented on that topic. To them a state and people of Akwa Ibom do not deserve such developmental feat. This is not only limited to the Akwa Ibom thread but of any developmental topics from the SS and SE regions.


So while the north has a pragmatic political solution to dominate the SS and SE through neglect and denial of their basic rights to control their God given resources, the useless southwest slaves are more interested in opposing development in the better south purely out of pure jealousy.

These people are the real enemies of the better south .

This country right now solely depends on oil for revenue.D north won't let go of d south because it is so obvious that d south caters for north with proceeds from sales of oil.... Even at this d north still wants to dictate to d south when they have nothing to contribute to d federation account .
Let us just imagine what would have been d fate of d south south if d oil were to be in d north by now am sure d south south would have gone into extinction

pls leave d sw out of this.Has the ss/oil producing states eva come out seriously and publicly to voice control thier own resources ? They are the fools here !

All what Awolowo and Yorubas have been clamouring for is what you talking about @ OP, but most regions did not support the idea (Even the state police was proposed by Awolowo). So let every region continue to look @ the hand of the Central government before they can maintain their states.

In as much as Aguyi Ironsi was foolish to play into MI5 and northern hands in declaring a central govt, we must recognize the fact that the likes of Awolowo bennefited and served with much rigour as a minister under this federal arrangement during the civil war and long afterwards up till 1975!


When southwest politicians talk of resource control all we see is hypocrisy.

It has even become to a point here where you guys are clamouring for genocide on the Niger Delta people in other to totally secure the oil wells.

So stop your bullsh1t. Awolowo and every Yoruba man ever born since oil was discovered in commercial quantities in the Niger Delta opposes resource control.

We are privy to the stance of SW confab members who opposed any talk of resource control and we also know that SW legislators are routinely silent or working against any call for a review of the oil proceeds to oil producing states.

At least the north does not hide their opposition to resource control unlike you guys who speak of it but oppose it in the back.

Every part of Nigeria is a colony of Hausa people no matter how you try and explain nonsense

Nonsense rubbish.


Your arrogance will ensure that Gideon Okar's vision is fulfilled- you will be exiled to join Niger Republic.


After we successfully declare independence from this rubbish arrangement, we will team up with our Biafran brothers and proceed to liberate the Christian middle belt states of Taraba, Benue, Plateue, Abuja , south Kaduna, and east Kogi to form a buffer state. We will also drive the Fulanis once and for all out of Nassarawa in order for the new Middle Belt Christian republic to be free of any Moslem influence. Adamawa and Borno and Gombe will be freed of Fulani jihadist and declared a Christian nation .


After which we will lend support to Ekiti, Edo and Ondo state to be another buffer Christian nation to our western borders and leave the rest of the ingratituous Moslem SW to you as a corridor to the Atlantic.

You will have Kwara, Oyo, Osun , Lagos and Ogun as well as Niger state and west Kogi (to include Ebira land , Kabbah and other Igala Moslem enclaves to add to your Islamic empire.


Thank me for at least given you access to the sea.

Resources control, am in full time but breakup of Nigeria?? No way
