All this states does is just pay salary...
No plan,no strategic investment to boost their IGR....
Even Lagos with the biggest IGR is just lucky due to the federal infrastructure when Lagos was the capital...Ever since 1999 no Government in Lagos state has done a major project... If Sanwolu can actually complete the monorail that will be the first major project since 1999...while the state has over N30 bn monthly IGR..it's a big slap on our face.
...Sadly those oil rich state should bow their heads in shame too...
Comparing their monthly allocation With their size and population ,Oyo state shouldn't come close to any of them,but Sadly it's only Rivers that can stand with OYO...their governors will THIEF all the money and they will tell their indigenes its FG's Fault...
FG is bad,but with the huge allocations those Niger Delta state has,they should be able to function and run excellently without extra help from FG....
Lastly all those stupid local goverment chairman should be hang with their balls...
Alimosho LG in Lagos receives over N800,000,000.00 monthly and absolutely nothing to show for it... Eto-Osa receives over N450,000,000.00 and I haven't seen a single project by the local government in my over 5 years of living and working within this axis.
If we actually tackle this stupid people at the root,our problem will be half solved...
Last last....
Oyo state built the then tallest building in Africa (Cocoa house) with the proceeds from cocoa and other agricultural produce in 1965...Over 50 years ago... and now they can't even get N1 billion naira from Agriculture a month in 2020...The business that yielded so much money 50 years ago should almost be as big the Crude oil exports... I hope Seyi Makinde can revive that industry....
Crude oil in the Niger Delta region is the cause of our problem and it's a blessing with many CURSE...
Then we also have the Northern states that are nothing but a burden...
As poor as Zamfara state is,they allocated a billion naira for graveyard maintenance Sometimes last year..and I almost cry when I read the news...it's sad,it's sad,it's sad.

DonMarkuzi:
Hold ur Govs accountable.

safarigirI:


Mehn this is serious trouble looming.
Last month witnessed a decline from 747 to 606 billion and now this.
Gosh some governors will use this as an excuse to slash salaries of civil servants while some won't even pay at all.
May God punish corona

andrewtosin:
This FAAC allocation is dropping gradually

Do what is the motive behind this ftc sef

mechanics:
Not really.

andrewtosin:
Not really wetin?

mechanics:
But you should know the cause is as a result of falling oil prices.

andrewtosin:
I'm telling you... Especially Kogi State and Osun State.

safarigirI:
Yeye Bello was in my mind while typing that.

aliyuabbaashiru:
I totally agree with all you've said but I have a problem with the last part in your write up. Back when the north pays all OUR bills from agriculture before crude oil it didn't see the rest of the region as a burden innit. Now how far do you think you've sounded?

andrewtosin:
Abi.

Why using that moniker though?

SOJOSEPH:
I can't any impacts of local governments in eti osa and Epe local government of Lagos state.

Eg the only major road in ibeju Lekki is not motorable at away, Fara park, ibeju, etc. And this is a toll road

Job2004:
Nigeria will not develop unless it is restructure

We can't continue this way, coming together every month to share from the same pot of soup.
Every state must harness their God given potential to the benefit of their people and Nigeria in General.

safarigirI:
what's wrong with my moniker?

andrewtosin:
Did I tell you I don't know?

gowonmaharajah:
while the oil - producing states received N 37.021 bn as derivation ( 13 per cent of mineral revenue ) .

I don't see any reasons why some SE states and Niger Delta shouldn't develop with all these monies.
grab your governors' balls and make them accountable. stop pining all blames on Buhari.

GEEBITE:
Fallacy you have been fed with.The north never picked the bill of the south.In fact south was amalgamated with north to make up for the deficit the colonial masters were having running administration of the north(i.e to balance the books). Later at independence all the regions (North,West&East) were self running and semi autonomous and only paid taxes to the center.

Ayobami97:

Sir, stop dwelling in the past. Whether or not the north was a bill payer in the past doesn't make any difference as long they are not improving presently.

aliyuabbaashiru:
All the regioñs where self running you say, on what exactly? You should also know that the checks and balances comes after revenue generation. From what? Agriculture.

GEEBITE:
So cocoa,palm oil,rubber grown in the south are not agriculture right?

aliyuabbaashiru:
The money you get from crude oil in say Rivers or bayelsa isnt the same with what you get in Abia state.

GEEBITE:
Please spare me all your tales by moonlight.Grooundnut did not sustain the south neither was the cotton grown in the north. Records dont lie,you can dig deeper and stop deluding yourself.
