This people have forgotten their brothers in Kwara and Kogi.

It's good they are asking for such buh i think priority is asking for our brothers to be merged with us at all cost. Then we can watch the development altogether everywhere. What's the essence of developing only SW while abandoning Kwara and our part in Kogi to ruins. I don't think it's making sense.

Does the Yoruba have a problem with Ndigbo? In the 8th Senate, immediately that Senate passed that bill, the SW came up with the bill so as to frustrate the signing. This time around, just last week cos Buhari didn't sign the last bill on the SEDC Stella Oduah has reintroduced the bill , just from the blues the SW has remembered their own development commission. The truth is both will fail this time. The SW never thought of that but all their actions is geared towards killing the bill for the SE. The Igbo have always supported the Yoruba, I don't know why they will want to always frustrate the Igbo

At the end of the day, every region will have a commission to foster regional development on paper. Apart from additional bureaucracy, duplication of government agencies, and opportunity for political cronies to further milk the country dry, nothing tangible will come out of the proliferation of development commission.

Obasanjo created NNDC since 2000 and I don’t think the Niger Delta is more developed than other regions today.

The SW development commission is a direct response to the SE development commission bill being pushed by Igbos. Very soon, North west and North central lawmakers will also come up with their own and the argument will be the same.

johnmartus:
Tell me what southeast bring to the table that they asking
For development commission.

Nickisindigo:
I can't talk about the south east but for southwest the bill would be passed

LabDNA:
So we all agree that the SW bill is meant to undermine the SEDC bill. But we have yorubas like oyatz claiming that it is the SE who undermines the SW when it is actually the other way round.
Now who is undermining who?

celeiyke:
Was it passed last time U think it is Lagos/Ibadan newspaper things?

celeiyke:
What is the West bringing to the table? U think the West begins n ends in Lagos?

seunmsg:
Before the south east bill, we already have the NDDC and the NEDC. Is the south east bill an attempt to undermine the already existing regional development commissions?

The South west bill is not to undermine the south east bill. The south west also feel they need the commission to foster regional development just like south east.

johnmartus:
This is a regional bill There's no how they will do it to get those two state involve Because they are outside the southwest. The senators from kwara state and kogi can only support the bill. However when the commission is finally approved nobody will deny kwara or kogi from benefiting from the commission.

Also, there is a bill currently before the Senate for the creation of a North West Development Commission. The bill was sponsored by Jibrin Barau, a Kano State Senator, and was read for the first time on the floor of the Senate on December 13, 2018.

you didn't get the message. The yoruba people of Kogi have been asking for long to be merged with their brethrens in ekiti state for long or create a new state for them and merge with sw buh the fg paid them no attention same as Kwara.

Why can't all the yoruba senators come together in the house and support their cry and move that they be added to one region and then we can all overlook the development together under one region development commission. You grab.

Some kwarans love to introduce themselves as northerners because they are more used to them than their brethrens. Same as some yoruba kogites. It's appaling.
