Shut your trap wt dis yr Ojukwu story joor

The oil- producing states have the federation take home, 13per cent derivation, the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs with hundreds of billions for projects in the region, the NDDC with billions of naira, the oil companies, doing a lot and finally, the Federal Government gives very handsome grants to oil-producing states under all sorts of guises. You also have the Amnesty Programme, all in the same region. So, they have six different sources of income.

The other states are left with one source of income. I know how we indirectly got there. The oil producing communities have been neglected for a long time. There is no doubt about that. They were not taking very good care of them. In our own anxious way of solving the problems, we are now over funding them and underfunding the non-oil producing states.

This disparity can bring all sorts of crisis to the country in the future. We have to consciously do something about this development before it will put us in very bad and embarrassing situation. So, there is going to be a review.

tinkinjo: Are you shedding tears for 13%? Wait until they claim 100% then you'll cry to stupor.

South Sudan in mind!

mkpologwu: Pls we shldn't leave d north behind o! We all must progress together, otherwise d least progressed will attack d most progressed by night!

gramci:

North Korea in my mind.

tinkinjo: ...still waiting to hear a northern Governor cry over the allocation of niger delta oil blocks to some northern crooks...

...still waiting!

gramci:

You might have to wait till eternity.

Abagworo: Contrary to what most of you are saying, I seem to understand and support him on this. Every part of Nigeria deserves to be funded well to avoid future catastrophe. There is so much money flowing in Port-Harcourt while most other parts of Nigeria are in abject poverty. The gap is too wide in terms of economic empowerment.

Imagine Underdeveloped Texan goin to atack overdeveloped washinton dc. Our thinking is our problem. If evry region or state cannot develop its own resources and potentials, whoz fault is dat? Is d Niger-Delta d cause of d norths backwardess? So if ther were no niger delta in Nigeria, there will be no north? Shuld we now say dt d Niger-Delta is d reason for Nigerias continuing existence and dat wen d niger is no longer delta, ther wil no longer be Nigeria?
Evry state and local govt in Nigeria shuld be concernd as to haw it shuld discover itself, revive itself and develop itself by itself.
Arnt d northerners even ashamed that other region refer to them as parasites even wen they av d resource capacity to feed these same regions?
Its like d North are really bent on suckin d south dry. Thereafter, they will be d ones clamouring 4 secession.
