I've warned you to stop misleading people on Nairaland, you can't just listen to gossip and come to Nairaland to spew that as statement of fact.

You are the one misleading people with misinformation.
I've seen this severally and people like me can never be deceived.
Tax revenue is different from total revenue
The image below is what most you refer to all the time.
The statistics there is comparing taxes derived from oil and taxes derived from non oil sectors of the economy.
Emphasis on taxes!

But they don't generate enough money.
Ibadan generates more more than 5 South East states put together.

Wrong!
What's important and of economic value is the oil producing states, because
oil remains the main source of federal government revenue and South east has 3 oil producing states....Imo, Abia and Anambra
Oyo is not an oil producing state.

What's important and of economic value to the Federal government are the oil producing states.
They provide about 85% of federal government revenue.

The VAT contribution you guys keep shouting up and down only contributes less than 13% of total federal government revenue.
Nigeria will collapse if it depends on VAT revenue!
Nigeria survives on oil revenue.
If they say keep your VAT and the oil producing states keep their oil, your state will not survive for a week

Honestly, the kind of things you people post online make me wonder what’s being taught in schools in your region.
Ibadan is a city in Oyo state.
So how on earth will Ibadan’s population be bigger than that of four South-East states put together when the official census says the population of the entire Oyo State is 5.5 million?
The population of Anambra state alone is 4.1 million and the South-East has five states.!

TheBizGenius:
I have a first degree in mechanical engineering and I am disappointed in what Makinde said.

If you have a road project that transverses

A. over marshy areas and you have to sand fill,

B. over water and you have to build a bridge and

C. over hard soil and you simply lay your asphalt on it,

how do you get the average cost of such a project?

But I also understand that Umahi dey hide figures to dey chop as naija politician anyway but professionally, he is right.

Make I no even mention the Arise broadcaster own. Mtchew.

Having a degree in mechanical engineering doesn’t automatically make one an authority on civil works or project management they’re completely different fields. Makinde was speaking from the standpoint of governance and transparency.
Yes, terrain differences affect cost, but that’s exactly why public officials must disclose the breakdown instead of hiding behind technicalities. Umahi might be experienced, but his refusal to provide detailed figures fuels suspicion, not professionalism. Transparency in public projects isn’t optional.
You can’t justify secrecy just because the engineering is complex.

adeiza4u:
I'm currently doing my Masters at NOUN. Your submission is entirely true. It's when I got into the system that I understand better. The lecturers facilitating lectures don't know a thing about your exam and test questions, those who also construct your exam and test questions are not the markers. The system is well structured such that you can hardly buy your way or get victimized. After my first semester exam, a lecturer who taught me reached out to me that I should help him with the question paper. Because he didn't have an idea of it and won't also mark. This standard isn't anywhere in other Nigerian universities. It's only at your centre you can try to cheat while writing your exams and if you're caught. That's final. Talk about materials, they have rich materials and as a student, you have access to great online libraries for free.
A good number of lecturers obtained their MSc from NOUN. And I think NOUN currently have highest number of international students. The recent trends I noticed is, the elite are now embracing NOUN. Lots of Ajebo kids are now pursuing their undergraduate degree there. I had doubts before enrolling. But I'm now thankful I did because to me, NOUN is one of the sound Federal Universities in Nigeria.

You’ve spoken nothing but the truth. It’s refreshing to hear this from someone who’s actually inside the system. NOUN has really proven that quality education doesn’t have to follow the old, rigid walled university format. The structure you described where teaching, question-setting and grading are separated shows how transparent and credible the process is.
NOUN is a clear example of how technology can be applied to eliminate exam malpractice, student victimization and sex-for-marks that have plagued conventional universities in the country.

I enrolled for a program in NOUN when I had some free time and wanted to use it for something productive. Honestly, I thought it was going to be a walk in the park, but I was shocked at how mentally challenging it became trying to ace my courses. When it dawned on me that I had bitten more than I could chew, I had to get serious and dedicate all my time to studying and that’s when I truly started appreciating the depth and standard of the system.

Many people underestimate NOUN until they see how intense the coursework, materials and assessments truly are. These days you'll even find teenagers choosing NOUN for their first degree.

Get your facts right.
It was not Ojukwu that declared war rather it was Yakubu Gowon who declared war against the Eastern region. The first shot was fired in Gakem, Bekwarra LGA in present day Cross River state by troops loyal to Gowon.

Do you even know that the French as super power then offered Ojukwu weapons and support in exchange for oil during the Biafran war?

The lawmaker must be an illiterate for him to say that.
Ibadan is 3,080 km²
Enugu State alone is 7,161 km²

So how is Ibadan bigger than the entire southeast?

I don't know why some southwesterners are fixated on landmass that adds no economic value to the country. If we are to go by landmass Niger State alone is bigger than the entire South-West.

What's important and of economic value is the oil producing states, because oil is the main source of government revenue.
South east has 3 oil producing states
Imo, Abia and Anambra
while South west has only one which is ondo state

Except if you are saying all those people from different continents are drunk hence lying about your people

Try and apply common sense.
In countries where Igbos make up the largest number of Nigerian migrants, it’s only natural that the number of Igbos involved in any skirmish in that country will be higher.
How often do you hear of Igbo names linked to crimes in countries like Saudi Arabia? Where Igbos are not many?

If you have 100 Igbos,
5 Yorubas,
and
3 Northerners in a particular country.
Statistically, the likelihood of hearing Igbo names in any negative report will be higher. But instead of understanding this basic fact, you people will twist it to label all Igbos as troublesome including your government officials who should know better.

Take Ghana, for example that you keep mentioning, one Igbo man’s action which you people used to incite Ghanaians against thousands of peaceful Igbos who have been living there for centuries.

That’s mischievous and evil

Most of the so called complain about the Igbos you see online are instigated by some Yoruba people.

A story once trended on Twitter where some south Africans shared messages Yoruba people sent to their dms inciting them against Igbos in south Africa. So i won't be surprised if this so called Kenyan lady is another such mischievous attempt by a disgruntled Yoruba person

This is the problem with you people,always pushing the mischievous narrative that the Igbos are bad people. But throughout history, the Igbos remain the only major ethnic group in Nigeria that did not build empires or kingdoms by forcefully expanding into minority lands and conquering them. This is evident today in the many ethnic minorities that surround the Igbo. It simply shows that the Igbos are not domineering by nature or troublesome.

Every reasonable person knows that crime is part of society and every tribe have criminals, so trying to paint all the Igbos as criminals is senseless.

I’ve already addressed this same case you people keep citing.
It has nothing to do with the Trade Fair Complex issue.
That Supreme Court case dealt with federal lands that had already been sold to private individuals.....meaning the Federal Government was no longer the owner of the lands.
Because of that, the supreme Court struck out the case, because the Supreme Court cannot seat on matters between a state government and private citizens as a court of first instance.

The Trade Fair Complex, on the other hand, is still federally owned with no transfer of ownership to private individuals. That makes the two cases entirely different.
Trying to present the two cases as the same is mischievous.

Tell our brother Gej to apologised as well. We are not and will never allow Tinubu to apologise.

I said rest biko rest.

The apology being sought here is not about individuals taking responsibility, it’s not about anyone who took part in the war or not.

What the Delta monarch is asking for is a national apology from Nigeria as a state for the Asaba massacre.
Currently, only President Tinubu as head of state has the authority to issue that apology on behalf of the nation.
Obasanjo can not, same with GEJ and not even Yakubu Gowon who was head of state during the war

The advantages of acknowledging the truth even symbolically far more outweighs whatever fear of the consequences that may follow the deserved apology

The memory of that tragic event will not fade anytime soon because it will be passed down from generation to generation. The victims will neither forget nor forgive the Nigerian state.
