NIGERIA has 776 LGAS
Northern Nigeria has 19 States, the 19 States has 419 LGAS

Southern Nigeria has been 17 states the 17 states has 357 LGAS
Working with the data from the office of the Accountant General as published by the Ministry of Finance (2013 April) the 357 LGAS of the 17 southern states recieve 45.1% of what they contribute a 100% of.

The 419 LGAS of the 19 Northern states recieves 54.9% of what they contribute 0.00% of.

No grammar will take away the fact that l am talking of equity and justice. The South of Nigeria particularly the Niger Delta has over loved the North, and they don't appreciate it. We must now love our selves, our children and their future and region 200%.

Some Niger Delta people may think it is politically correct to continue to give to a system and people that will never give to us, and even consider us fools for giving.
I refuse to be politically correct, if it means sacrificing Niger Delta.

How dare someone who brings nothing and takes more than me who brings 100% ask me what l am doing with the little that he did not steal.

[size=15pt]That is why the hate the word Federalism.

The north bluntly refused to contribute even a penny into the federal purse, while insisting on taking everything that the other regions have contributed. They made sure agriculture was in private hands of wealthy Alhajis that pocket the money and pay nothing to FG.

Even their solid minerals and Cement are mined by Alhajis and the money pocketed instead of being shared in the federation account the way they treat resources from the south.[/size]

The first half of point is correct about why political class's hates idea of reforms. It would expose them to elements of being economic basket cases.

I think solid mineral do count towards shared because federal government has exclusive ownership of mineral rights. Cement isnt good example since it has to be manufactured. (Oil has to be refined to be useful). The farming is same since the profits private.

Funny thing about this system is it doesn't even benefit average northern nigerian. It doesn't allow private property owners to collect royalty directly, deters investment etc. Nigeria and north has suffered most due the fact the system enables laziness economicly.

What trash are you saying here again dude?
As long as there is no strong taxation structure that force business up north to pay tax to the govt they will remain low contributors. Which one be Alhaji again? You want them to make poor people Alhaji?

Blue3k:


NOW your attacking strawman again. You don't even understand what we're discussing but you want to seem relevant to conversation. Lol don't you get tired of embrassing yourself. After you ran off after being exposed about usa having multiple power grids.

I never claimed anything you said in this trash post. You must have reading disability like your bother Standing5 that got exposed aswell.

Yes a stron tax structure would be good. They are low contributors for other reasons besides that. I listed some of the reason for why northern states remain economic laggard.

OreMI22:


FORGET ABOUT POLITICAL CLASS CRAP.
How much are they stealing?

The north is robbing us blind in this country and you are trying to create a diversion by talking some non-existent political class.

Sibrah:
As usual. Didn't u agree with the first half of the post you quoted where he blamed Alhajis? No need feigning ignorance here.

No you illiterate. Since I have to break it down for you since you have reading disability. I didn't agree with his Alhaji comment about farming. I listed that in my disagreements at end after I explained my other disagreements. I bolded it for you. I said farming same un south and north cocentrated in private hands natually.

I agreed why the like allocation system.

Sibrah:
Stop twisting your own words like a deranged person. . .

Welcome to the force bonding done to us by the BRITISH GOV. .

But despite this the SOUTH is miles ahead of NORTH in most positive news.

Wait is it only me or an imagination, it seems the NORTHERN part of the country are trying to overtake the SOUTH in kidnapping business.
