I would have loved to see the debt profile of all these states.

PigMeat:

yea. Cross river has really lost a lot. The oil wells to akwa ibom and the bakassi stuff. With any good leader we will get there still.

EdoBoy90:
. on process. Edo state is the first richest state in naija. People that underrate us, we come and look for job in Edo State when Dangote has completed his $1bn cement factory. Just Google it and see for urself. BUA cement factory phase 2 is going on and is $500000m project.

Emancipation:
Nigerians need to tell themselves the truth for once. The 36 state structure needs to be scrapped and replaced with 6 geopolitical regional government and equipped with fiscal federalism. Nigeria will never develope at this current pace. It took china only 30 years to go from one of the poorest countries to one of the richest.

I think it's suffice to say the North is living off the south (oil)
As for ekiti, fayose needs to go for apprenticeship from ambode

EteEdoho:
North,to me is simply a dead heavy weight on the rest of us,sentiment aside!.

Imagine amidst the 19 northern states,its only Kano that beat the rubicon of bankrupt states,the rest 18 are as good as dead?.

Despite haven sapped the better part of our national life,by ruling more than 39yrs out of our 50+years of our nationhood,north has continued to remain a wicked parasite on the rest of us,more reason a call for true federalism or outright division,to them it's an invitation for. Truly i do understand,but i av' got to be blunt,it's time to cut down any tree that isn't bearing fruht!.

Therefore,still on the spirit of #BREXIT,i say let #BIAFREXIT be maintained,and the tempo hightened.

I AM VOTING OUT!.

Bluffly:

It is cancerous to sob over lost resources. Oil is not the surviving source for world powers so why can't the state put up strategic thinking caps and get the state moving on.

Abagworo:


Sometimes we need to look deep into issues before drawing conclusions. If Imo State starts charging school fees they can raise 2billion every month from school fees alone. Okorocha does not want that maybe because he feels that's what the masses benefit most from Government. IMHO he should stop the free education, charge school fees and raise money for the State. He can charge SS1 to SS3 and all tertiary institutions.

From what I've come to learn both on and offline many people do not appreciate the sacrifice of free education and will never do.

vedaxcool:


Cutting kpomo can never be a substitute for good governance.

SnowJay92:


Some things are not worth defending. Are you actually trying to argue that free education is what puts Imo in the bottom five?

Am proud of Gov. Oshiomole of Edo state. From a mere 3 billion Naira IGR generated annually, you came and by your courage, wisdom and a team of capable hands, including Mr. Godwin Obaseki, you took IGR of the State to almost 20 billion Naira per year, making the State one of the few viable states in Nigeria, yet some fools want Edo state to slip back into the hands of those that almost ruined it.

SnowJay92:


OK, still it's a very terrible position to be in, or are you comfortable down there with your owelle?

dukeprince50:
and dats a veri gud position olodo

StepTwo:



yeah, just like the federal Govt and every other state is putting on strategic thinking cap right?
