Too late for all these abracadabra. Buhari have failed in all ramification to keep this country together.

We have crossed the Rubicon in the IPOB movement. We are tired of staying together in error. Take everything we have worked together for, let us GO. The North have refused to grow, and have prevented us from growing. Right now, we want to grow on our own. .

Take everything we worked for and let us go?

It is only those who own nothing that talks like this.

in Nigeria, if you don't shake body. you will die of hunger. this recent reawakened igbo spirit by Nnamdi Kanu Ipob will change a lot for good.
if we should be one Nigeria let it be the one that is beneficial to all and sundry and not a partial one.
Igbos has been enduring the marginalisation until buhari came on board and make the igbo hate very obvious. hence igbos quest a a place called home(biafra)

Like the special status of Lagos will not take anythinng away from the Eboes. But they stood against it anyway..
Treachery and back stabbing runs deep in their DNA.
I don't owe Eboes happiness. Rather they should purge themselves of the hatred that fill their hearts.

Commotion as senators reject ‘special status’ bill for Lagos

Myopic people. At the appropriate time, you will get your payback.



The Sun

— 6th October 2016
From Fred Itua, Abuja

There was commotion in the Senate, yesterday, over a bill sponsored by Senator Oluremi Tinubu,seeking special status for Lagos State in view of its strategic socio-economic significance to the country.
Titled “A bill for an act to make provisions for Federal Grants to Lagos State in recognition of its strategic socio-economic significance and other connected purposes”, the bill was read for the second time where her colleagues overwhelmingly voted against it.
Senators, predominantly drawn from the North, South-east and South-south led the offensive against the bill.
The bill’s fate was sealed based on Senator Olusola Adeyeye’s position on the issue.
Senate Chief Whip, Adeyeye accused some former northern governors, who are now lawmakers, of passing laws to stop the sale and consumption of alcohol.
He had also argued that such states should, therefore, not benefit from Value Added Taxes (VAT) paid by alcohol consumers in states like Lagos.
He equally made a case that like oil-producing states, Lagos should get 13 percent from taxes paid into the Federation Account.
“I don’t even believe that one percent is enough for Lagos State. But, we have to be fair to Lagos State. We must not kill the chicken that lays the golden eggs. We have a governor here who made a law that alcohol should be banned in his state.
“But the state where such a law was made should not benefit from VAT got from sale of alcohol in states where it is not banned. States who contribute should get 13 of VAT like oil producing states,” he had argued.
While his colleagues were yet to recover from his first position, Adeyeye released another salvo when he said; “the FCT is a rotten pampered child.”
At this point, the chamber became rowdy, but, Adeyeye continued and added; “in Abuja, we do not pay taxes and Nigerians subsidise everything here. I am serious. In Asokoro and other places, people do not pay taxes.”
For about 10 minutes, Ekweremadu tried to calm angry lawmakers who were, by now, engaged in a shouting match. To restore order, Ekweremadu invoked a rarely used parliamentary protocol by standing up to get the chamber’s attention. He did as the chamber went quiet.
Earlier, sponsor of the bill, Senator Tinubu tried to rally her colleagues to support the bill when she said “Lagos is of a strategic, social, economic significance as the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria. Today, Lagos serves as the commercial capital of Nigeria and its major nerve centre. The strategic importance of Lagos is inherent in several sectors of the economy. Available statistics indicate that six out of 10 international passengers arrive in Lagos, while eight out of 10 depart from Lagos. This shows that Lagos is the window through which visitors travel in and out of Nigeria.”
The Lagos senator was yet to conclude when lawmakers scrambled to speak on the bill.
Senator Aliyu Wammako from Sokoto State said the timing of the bill was wrong and justified his position by saying that “many states were unable to pay workers’ salaries and meet other financial obligations, hence, the passage of the bill was wrong. I stand against this bill; if it is passed, it will make other states poorer and Lagos richer.
Senator Hope Uzodima from Imo State said: “If we approve a bill like this, states like Zamfara, Imo, Enugu and others will begin to ask for support and assistance. I think we should look at the assets in Lagos State and see how the Federal Government can assist Lagos state to augment what it is doing.”
Speaking in favour of the bill, Senator Solomon Adeola from Lagos State said: “Almost every tribe in this country is represented in Lagos State. The Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba are beneficiaries. I know that the economic situation in Nigeria calls for caution. But this bill is not Lagos as a state, but for the people living there. Very soon, Lagos will be recognised as a mega city. But for us to get that status, we need to put certain things in place.”
Barnabas Gemade from Benue State supported the bill. He said: “In my opinion, Lagos has been pushed to a point. Therefore, demanding for a contribution of one percent is not too much.”
Senate Minority Whip, Senator Philip Aduda said he would support the bill “on the condition that what will be given to Lagos State should be given to other states like the FCT. Some special allocations should be given to FCT because it is over stretched and government needs to intervene. In the FCT, we have riverine areas.”
Former governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Abdullahi Adamu argued that passage of the bill would be unconstitutional and urged his colleagues to oppose it.
Senator James Manager from Delta State, raised a point of order.
“From the onset, I am in full support of this bill, but, there is a constitutional problem. Section 164 (1) makes it clear. It states that the federation may give grants to states or local governments to supplement the revenues as maybe prescribed by the National Assembly.
“I want to say from experience, different grants have been given to different states. But we have not been able to make laws in this regard. If we are to do otherwise, it means we have to amend that aspect of the constitution,” he explained.

u guyx jas take brave step but am sorry Ehhhhmmm... Its too late to bribe dm now, disintegration is th only way...

people should attempt to research before wiping up sentiments. When the more aggressive igbos on this thread would reply, you would see this same peeps playing the sophisticated,righteous card.
for those who wish to know, the commission would be financed from existing fed allocation to the SE. Even if the SE commission where to be financed from funds accrued from other regions, I don't see anything wrong -afterall it's one Nigeria.
Am just glad that the SE is gradually playing politics naijas dirty way.

Your body is not lying.

Is the commission going to be staffed by holy angels from heaven or by the same thieving Nigerians that staffs every other federal government institutions.

Shut up and allow person ear word.
You people are agitating you are being marginalised. They are beginning to bring development your way you are still complaining.
Nigeria will forever remain one. All I support is agitation when you feel oppressed. I supported Naija delta Avengers whole heartedly simply because they were agitating for the right cause.

Saraki IPOB sponsor will soon see the result of the massive corruption he has engaged the entire Senate under his illegal seat. Remember your father as the Senate leader caused the destruction of the 2nd republic . remember your father was the one who condemned and disallowed the use of 1004 houses built by Obasanjo for the second republic parliamentarians when he said the it was too low for them and all of them went to stay in expensive hotels at the government cost. remember also it was your father who rejected made in Nigeria's Pegeaut vehicles as official cars in favour of Shagari types of Mercedes Benz 280 and it was your father also that first flew in private jets all in the name of corruption and that was the beginning of the beginning of corruption in this country and if not for you who has started in the same corruptive shoes as your father who again remembers his name today.
