Even if you divert the whole oil revenue to their state, they will still wail.

Instead of them to hold their governors responsible, question him about the bail out funds, question him about the federal allocations, question him about the state IGR.....
They will refuse, they will shout.... Buhari oooo

If all faults should be laid on the president, then I see no need for state Governors..

Just look at

Add 3 toll gates , airport, lekki, ikoyi

Seaport

Airport

To Lagos own

Money dey Lagos government

And see what is happening in Delta now. I think most of our politicians are the real devil because the real devil ain't this bad now. How can someone be managing such a huge fun and that state is still like that outside their own IGRs. God help this nation now.


Look at the case of the Lagos state light rail awarded to that chinese company for 1.5bn dollars. Just 27 kilometers and Ethiopia awarded the same company a heavy rail project for 4.5bn dollars which is almost 800km. Lagos state own was awarded in 2009 and hasn't been concluded while Ethiopia's own was awarded 2 years later and it is fully functional now. Who did we offend dear Lord? I even heard the contract was actually awarded at approximately 300million dollars as against 1.5bn told us. Who are the people in possession of the remaining 1.2bn dollars? NIGERIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

You are a wise man. Nothing to be added anymore.

The allocation is justified.

What cannot be justified is the work done.

But I thought South East is among the highest oil producing zones. Why is buhari marginalising the SE like this? Or has he forgotten it is the money from SE that is being used to fund Katsina budget? Not fair.

I heard more bout delta state when "uduaghon" was the governor, what's happening okowa?

To who much is given, much is expected

What of oyo state

4 South South States and 1 South Western State so I'm not surprise the reason these two regions particularly the South South states don't want to suoport IPOB to drive home their need.

This less than what some hospital in USA get per month

Inside Nigeria ?

K

Hmmmm! Nawaoooo.

Can someone show me what Delta state uses their revenue for as I’m confused .

The level of under development in Delta and Bayelsa state is very alarming even with such allocations.

Yet nothing tangible to show for all these monies received.
Useless politicians working for their bellies.

What’s the formula for this sharing self .It doesn’t even translate to development and employment for my people.Emancipation from mental slavery

Not enough

Rivers is suppose to relieve Lagos. PH and Warri in Delta buh seems they are sleeping.

Distract them using Tinubu as the reason whilst we smile all the way to the bank.

Just imagine. This country is casted.

What does bayelsa do with such huge amount of money considering the fact that they have only 11 local governments?

Yet no sign of development.. Naija don cast!

When will EFCC arrest former governors of Delta?

GavelSlam:

So you can start to protest again right?

I see.

Name your state that is better than Delta State

Emotionss:
The level of under development in Delta and Bayelsa state is very alarming even with such High allocations.

They are making all the money they share with others na.
Funny enough, there is no commensurate development in those States.

The money dose not help matters
