Niger Delta Development Commission is being funded by resources from the Niger Delta . Where will the funds for the other five development commission com from? I just hope you are not hoping to collect oil money from the Niger delta to develop your region, when already you collect oil money monthly to run states in your region.

Taxes from the region. We can set aside 13% of all corporate taxes, value added taxes, capital gain taxes, petrol income taxes, and custom & excise duties generated from the region to fund the activities of the commission. We don’t need any proceed from crude oil to fund the commission.

It seems others are too slow to understand that Yorubas are moving subtly towards regionalism and freeing themselves from the burdensome yoke of Nigeria. This time it won't be one Awolowo struggling on his own and being backstabbed by many turncoat Yorubas. The way Makinde of PDP worked in solidarity with APC Governors over Amotekun is proof the political divide-and-conquer days of Obasanjo, that saw Yoruba leaders working at cross-purposes and against themselves, may be over.

You are very corrcet

Iceberg3:


Shut up there,the north and someone from Delta state opposed the bill. The northerner did without any good reason but thee Delta man did with good reason cos the bill,if successful,which we pray succeeds, will be funded by the Niger Delta to a large extent.

The north have always opposed such bills,such programs like True federalism restructuring resources control,but it is strange you said not a single word as regards the northerner that opposed the bill.
Heaven knows this topic would've peaked more than 20 pages if an easterner were among those who opposed the bill!!!!
I don't have to be an easterner to know that.

Eventually, Nigeria shall develop along regional lines. Where one region currently contributes the bulk of government earnings is meaningless in the long run and ballooning population.

Niger-Delta sells oil which proceeds can be used to buy food from the North and North-Central. The South-West is the gateway of foreign goods influx into the country = taxes and levies/duties on imports. Not to forget cocoa which can be exported to Belgium and Switzerland. Boasting of a sizeable population, people can also be taxed to raise revenue. The South-East shall be the manufacturing hub and commercial nerve of a regionalized Nigeria. Each region federates itself, have its own police, enforces its own laws and even conduct its own elections. We scrap the Senate and have three representatives from each region to meet twice a month to legislate on matters of common interests. Each region contributes 32% to a central government to oversee immigration matters, customs, national police, regional regulation, Supreme Court, army, national infrastructure, common examinations, currency and stock market.

That way, development is closer to the people. As it is now, I don't know my LG chairman, or state and federal representative. But Fulani herdsmen rioting is Buhari's fault, whereas the governor should be held responsible.

PS: Regional heads chosen by the people elect one of themselves or a neutral person as Chairman who oversees the country (and represent us in international meetings) with the regional heads as vice-chairmen overseeing the regions. Regions can have 1000 members in their regional assemblies, it is their business so long as they can pay them. We need a lean center. Nigeria is too big and heterogeneous to be centrally managed or policed.

Best comment in a long while

this is what ojukwu saw 50 + years ago,and said that it's better for us to come slightly apart than come together and perish in the collision ,he believed this is the best way for the country to move ahead and he reached an agreement with gowon in aburi, Ghana that it shall be so,but unfortunately selfish civil servants and a Yoruba Patriot that was pacified with the finance ministry scuttled the idea,this is a big betrayal,a cowardly and selfish act,now generations ahead we are still going back to restructuring,that same idea that was born in aburi

Hmmn long overdue, South West contributes the largest chunk to the national GDP(outside crude oil), more than 60%; while other regions put together contribute the remaining 40%. For the sake of equity and justice; the Yoribas deserve more than what the nation apportion to them. If there could be NDDC (for producing oil), nothing should stop the SWDC (for producing the largest chunk to our GDP).

Keep deceiving yourself with stupid n unfound statistics

bilulu:

Which money will finance all this commission? Are they sustainable?

Certain percentage of the money generated by the Federal Government from every regions should be used to finance those regions commissions

War ravaged region like the North east may be subsidized by other economically active regions pending the time they will recover

The money we are already crying is not enough? How much is your budget? I just dey laff, you should start creating more problem for ursef

I have written this before now and will reiterate that any form of RESTRUCTURE in the shithole called Nigeria without building Lagos and Abuja in the defunct Eastern and Midwestern regions respectively is sure path to disintegration. I guess enough is enough.

derivation and resource control
The FG has to shed weight

In 2018
Lagos state contributed 700 billion in VAT alone.
This says nothing about Customs duty, Port earnings or Taxes on companies ,airport revenue etc
Development commission are s good idea in places where the investment will lead to REVENUE for the country.

The best places for that are the SS and SW and such investment is good business.

Not wasteful spending in the North east, or vainglorious projects like the Kaduna Abuja rail.

Sorry not just OUTSIDE OIL including oil.

Oil is less than 10% of GDP even though it is crucial to government spending.


Lagos state contributed 33%of Nigerian GDP in 2017

hahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Keep dreaming about igbo masquerades chasing you in your sleep while the british and her fulani caliphate slave-drivers keep degrading your environment and health!!!

You can have derivation and resource control for yourself. In addition, you can have Lagos state contributed 700 billion in VAT alone to Oodua Republic, I shall not give a ratass. I do not want regionalism or false federalism, all I want is Republic of Igbo land. The seaports in the Republic of Igbo Land shall have free hand to compete with Lagos.

You see your problem.

How will the NEDC be funded?

Ordinarily, they shouldn't approve anything. Since they approved the NEDC, then approve for all the six geopolitical zones. Do you und now?

Guy don't even bother engaging that loser!!!

He was seriously hoping that a "south east" igbo man was amongst the opposers to this latest afonja development commission but alas it was a "south south" igbo who he always maintains are not igbos but "aniomas" and hence we the "south east" igbos should leave them alone and stop "attaching"!!!

hahahahahahahahahaha!!!

he is too much of a coward to do anything about the exploitation and degradation of his "south south' so his only respite is to e-fight we, the great igbos, on as many online fora as possible!!!

Yoruba can move towards heaven, regionalism and truest of federalism, I do not care. All I want is total and unconditional disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria. I prefer Republic of Igbo land to Biafra. I do not care if what is left for the republic is sand.

Sometimes, I look at some people like you and I shudder.
You claim Igbos are on your matter while reverse remains the case. Peter is from the Niger-Delta you people insist has nothing to do with Biafra/IPOB but here you are mentioning his name just because you wanna sound stupid and people actually liked your useless words

Oshigun:


Sharrap !!!! Bad belle will not kill you. Abeg go and face the worthless excuses you lot are parading as Governors in the SE instead of disturbing us here. We understand you fear the name Amotekun so we will soon have a Nairaland Amotekun to deal with you and your ilk.

You really should be ashamed of yourself for knowing nothing.
Shouting IPOB up and down but when it suits you, you claim same Delta isn't Igbo, Wèrè

Instead of these cowards from West beating around the bush they should just ask for oduduwa republic

GOD BLESS YOU BRO
I have said this but with huge respect to my SW brothers; the SW plays a very selfish and malicious politics. Anything that won't benefit them directly or indirectly should perish. But in this case, no person from the SE stood against this.
The Igboman will hardly stand against any good thing for/from the SW (eg Amotekun, OBJ, etc) just to spite of get back at the Yorubas.
Truly, the only regions that actually needs these rehabilitation or development commission's are:
1. NigerDelta due to incessant oil spillage causing environmental degradation
2. NorthEast cos of what they are going through now. Although they are the ones who brought it on themselves via malicious means, but for those kids, women and some vulnerable men in IDP camps and on the streets, I will even personally donate for this cause.
3. SouthEast due to the Biafran civil war. However, I will not support this bill as it is late already and truly the SE has overgrown that stage for special National help but for integration.
The SW proposing this bill is being insensitive and look out the Amosun that built underground house for himself in Abeokuta with billions while leaving the Aworilands in utter dismay talking gibberish and people here are even supporting him. From Agbara to Lambe to Akure to OTA, the roads there are hell cos of neglect by the state governor's while big establishments like Ogun-Guangdong, nestle, etc pays huge taxes.
Wicked politicians. Amosun who ripped Ogun dry is here gaining the solidarity of gullible youths due to tribal bias by faking love for his people, same "constituted authority man" whom could not even show love and maturity to indigenous students of Ogun state?
Don't come here asking me to face SE leaders cos I already do too as I wish Orji Uzor Kali death already for being heartless and leaving Abia in shambles (but don't forget that many Igbos were against Okorocha and Orji Uzor Kalu whom were supported by APC loyalist only due to politics).
This SW bill isn't necessary as the SW is doing well being strategically located close to the shores and if utilised well, the available funds will do wonders.

I understand the North contesting it but I wonder why would someone from Delta North go against it, saying it will divide Nigeria? You see how some of this Southerners are messing up things that will later hit them hard.

Thanks for this timely reminder that is very relevant to the issue of discussion.
Can you please explain how one senator equals each, every and all Yorubas? I don't get it.
If he is an idiot, please let him have & enjoy his label alone without roping other millions of Yorubas with the idiotA.

seunmsg:


“Won ni omo Elefo, oni efo oun okinse ti t’atan”.
Did I mention any tribe or zone in my post? A senator from Bauchi and another one from Delta were reported to have opposed the bill. The names and states of the senators were clearly stated in the OP without any ambiguity. Why an Igbo man felt threatened by my post is what I don’t understand.

Mr. Smartmen, you don’t have to explain anything to me. Those that opposed the bill are well known to us. At the right time, we shall return the Favour appropriately. You don’t have to panic if your hands are clean.

Thanks for staying true to a course while Oshigun is up there disgracing himself.
Now, shouldn't same apply to the SW when they rejected that from another region?
Is this not Karma already?
