Corruption thrives on laziness. Getting things free without working for them.
True federalism will eliminate corruption.

u deserve a medal !

yes Obiano is doing well, not owing salaries BECAUSE the former governor did well when he was in office, peter obi manage the state's economy,he did nt borrow any money for the state development utilized the income generated and allocations appropriately,...UNLIKE Fayemi and AREGBE.

N.B.: in ekiti if Fayemi didn't borrow does loans(money) from commercial banks,excess crude oil...... Fayose would not have problem with workers unpaid five months salaries

Early conclusion! The case of anambra state can only be attributed to good leadership! True or Holy Federalism can only work with good leadership... if not the same leaders who still embezzle now will still embezzle more whether true or fake federalism! The problem with Nigerians is that we do not think at all. you cannot just transfer a textbook theory into reality. Every theory on earth is based on assumptions! one important assumption that every theory ignores is the Nigerian problem "Corruption" No matter the theory once the leaders are corrupt it becomes useless!

.....you hit the nail on the head

hucienda:
The Senator is right on the money here.

At times I wonder how Anambra does it especially in these trying economic times and recession.

The same way their businessmen are still doing well in this heated times.

MILFangela:
Mr Ben Bruce, charity begins at home. Your state is still owing workers too

Na Ben Bruce dey pay salary?

You just quoted the father of modern African literature- Prof. Chinua Achebe.

The problem of Nigeria is leadership. Achebe said the same thing over 50yrs ago!

I agree with you intoto.

- Chino

omenka:
Now check this out: Bayelsa makes way more money than Anambra from oil related earnings, it has way more people to feed than Bayelsa. It's recurrent commitments is way more than Bayelsa's, yet it is not owing!! That tells you true federalism isn't the problem, even though it might be the solution to some problems, Leadership is!!

You disagree??

AmericanQuarter:
Anambra isn't an oil producing state yet it doesn't take loans & doesn't owe salary. Anambra proves that True Federalism can work in Nigeria

thank God for Mr Peter who stayed at Awka for 8years without collecting a single loan.
Thank God for Obiano who has maintained that trend for this 2years.
I pray he doesnt change before his first tenure runs out.

Anambra people UNA TOO MUCH biko.
I hail una

My mother has not been paid her pension for over 3 months now in Anambra state. Obiano has refused to pay them since the month of March. It's unfair or is it fair. Obiano is unable to keep up with Peter Obi's legacy

Corruption is never a problem but a symptom of a problem, it is not a bed of roses in anamabara state, I am from nnewi, thus state still has a very long way to go, True federalism is the answer, parasite like you.

louqas:
Anambra produced oil , oriental oil is there
Sorry Orient

Yes but still in reserve. Not being tapped yet

I can't see any sense in this post. Anambra is doing well as a result of prudent management of funds allocated to it from the federation account and not as a result of any meaningful internally generated revenue. Take away the oil money that the state is receiving from the federation account and come and tell us how the state will survive.

Ben Bruce is correct in his assertion that Anambra is not an oil producing state.

The fact that oil was discovered in the state does not necessarily make it an oil producing state.

Personally I think what has been working for Anambra is the appointment of technocrats as the head honchos in recent times

The fact that we have people who have worked at the highest level of management in the private sector has helped in no small way to Ensure that things are done in the right way.

Another reason is that indigens of Anambra do not believe in depending on the government to do things for them...

Another evidence that igbos are industrious.

EasternActivist:
Anambra host oil and gas companies like orient...

Mr hater. Anambra remains an oil producing state wether you like it or not...

There are many gas plant in Anambra state...

Like the Chicason gas plant that was reported about an explosion scene in December last year in Nnewi Anambra state.

There many gas plant in Nnewi, the one that got burnt last December is not Chicason gas plant. Chicason do not operate gas plant but a fuel station close to traffic light. Sure the burnt gas plant and Chicason Industrial area are poles in the same village. Swanak gas plant which is closer to Chicason group do not belong to him.

i know ur type..u just succeeded in making no sense at all. I just told you the reason why federalism might not be the answer now tell us why you think it is the answer? will true federalism replace all the governors? even the Bible says if I can't I trust with little how then do you expect me to trust you with true wealth anambra does not earn more than bayelsa or any other state but there is something the anambra govt is doing right that others clearly are not doing... tink with sense sometimes.

state governors are now competing on who owes her workers more ;Dstate governors are now competing on who owes her workers more

omenka:
Ok. Bayelsa is an oil producing state, your state for that matter, and is owing 5months salaries. Can we then say, using your logic in reverse, that is proof true federalism can't work in Nigeria Mr Obamanikoro Bruce Lee??

Remember, in logic, if a statement is FACT or TRUE, then it means the "negative statement" and the "reverse outcome" would also be a FACT or TRUE. - GST 107.

When you people are sharing their internal revenue in the name of fake one Nigeria. Every state should be independent joor.

histemple:
Oga, stop saying what you don't know. I am more Anambra than you----for your information. That is if you are even an Anambrarian. Because no properly trained Anambrarian will dish out insult spontaneously as you just did by calling me "Mr hater"

So, many barrels of crude oil does Anambra produce a day?

Orient and the Chicason you quoted are private retailers and not exploration has plants. The fire incident you referred to was even a COOKING GAS station and I was in Nnewi when it happened.
Nnewi is not even among the locations where oil was discovered in Anambra state.

You can even help yourself with Google to find out oil producing states and States where oil has been discovered but not producing yet.

My argument with you is Anambra is an oil state.
Producing or not...
But am sure that orient plc is not producing charcoal in Anambra state.
Meanwhile I didn't say that Nnewi is an oil town... I know of aguleri town where oil wells are.

dont mind Ben Bruce and the way he voyeurs other states without looking at his own state and constituency.

But meanwhile, your logic is somewhat flawed in my opinion:
to prove that something can work, i need an +ve existential (there exists an instance where it worked)
to prove that something can't work, I would need a -ve universal (there exists no instance where it worked).

..I am so happy Anambarians rejected Ngige via APC and chose APGA/Obiano as our Governor

...the same story of huge debt with months of non-payment of salaries would have been our portion right now ...coupled with endless political petty fights all over the place.

..Electing Willie Obiano was a master-stroke.I am indeed proud of my state,Anambra.

What I don't seem to understand is why some of us are against Federalism in the first place?
Is it out wickedness or sheer ignorance?
It kills me when people oppose Federalism

Firstly, express your thoughts correctly, then subject your statement to logic. You may be surprised at the outcome.

Bayelsa state governor should take note...He is indirectly mocking his own state.

Gbam! Best state I've been to outside yorubaland.

You don't have any argument. The topic is about oil "producing" states.

vodutive:
Ben Bruce is a retard, he tries to appear smart but.... the truth is our problem is not federalism (at least it is not our biggest problem) our problem is imcompetence and corruption. If you have incompetent or corrupt leadears it doesn't matter if they control their resources or get it from the centre, they will still mismanage. What Anambra and Bayelsa shows is that if your leaders are sincere and the people are hard working or if your leaders are uinsincere and the people are lazy then it doesn't matter which system you run, your fate will still be the same.

You cannot stop the destiny of a people and leadership serious about their destiny no matter the obstacles and you cannot improve the lot of the lazy man no matter how you try.

going by ur logic oyo osun and ekiti people are lazy with incompetent leadership
