Stop deceiving yourself we are not parasites, every region has what it takes to sustain herself, SW is even more blessed than the SE in terms of resources so please shove the parasite idea up your ass.

SS and SW are major revenue earner for the FG.

what does SW bring to the table, nothing

fulanmafia:


Erm... not that I'm justifying the alleged "gang-up"...

But what exactly does the SE contribute to the National purse?

That is a stupid question

evilNL:

F o c oof... Ur opinion does not matter...are Igbo's the only people that killed Lagos agenda? Always diabolically twisting everything

Yoruba's wanted a special status for Lagos, Hausa's wanted North east commission and Ibo's wanted south east development commission.

Ibo lawmakers joined Hausa lawmakers to kill the Lagos special status bill and then supported the North east development commission. Yoruba lawmakers have now repaid their Ibo colleagues in similar coin by joining the north to kill the south east development commission bill.

At the end of the day, Hausa's got exactly what they wanted while Ibo and Yoruba lost out. Exactly what you get when people refuse to work together out of petty hatred and jealousy.

You gonna need it. No state in the South-East is economically viable - they are parasites just like everybody else.

Anambra did not make a dime in 2016

Dude stop constituting a nuisance in the cyber space. Grow up

Ilaje in Ondo has Oil and Ondo is the 5 largest producer of Oil behind Akwa-ibom, Rivers,Delta and Bayelsa. Lagos ports is also a huge revenue earner for the FG, Tax revenue is huge in Lagos and Ogun because of the clusters of Industries there.

I am deeply ashamed. A prosperous southeast is a prosperous Nigeria, yet for some deeply rooted tribalism people do not want this bill. The south east and the Igbos are being marginalized. That's a bloody fact! we are supposed to counter their secession threat by giving them a sense of belonging and development projects, yet this government is making a Kanu a hero everyday. The APC are a disaster, a divisive party. It has never been this bad.

You mean your cry for sucession is a threat?

South Eastern states are parasites like everybody else.. Anambra contributed nothing in 2016 Look at IMO , Zamfara makes just as much.. we all parasites on the Niger-Delta (the golden goose). So, STFU

Thank U Mr. Truth bender. Zamfara generates Oil revenue like IMO right? Nigeria cannot move forward because of liars and confusionists like you! Convenient statistics to prove lies and exclude the truth. Why not add oil revenue to this list. Parasite ko, amoeba ni!

Refer to this thread and see how mature the southwest are compared to you guys.

No one has thrown a party like you guys did over the rejected Lagos "Special status" bill.

Thanks for this link. The way people masturb.ated on that thread, you'd think the rejection of the Lagos bill meant accelerated development for their region.

ivolt:


A single state special status bill you call greedy,
what will you call the 5 states south east development bill ?
Life is about give and take which you people have refused
to accept.
Those who can't see before their nose end up biting their fingers.

What will you gain from lagos been only single state to be granted a special status , they have North development commission,NDDC,SE and SW can have their development commission also.
You people in Nigeria dont want that country to move forward, there is nothing wrong in making Lagos,Anambra and Kano a special status for development which the house did to Lagos Special Status bill, which is an excellent decision, with that development will spread in Nigeria.
Nobody kill the lagos status bill

“Two things happened, it was obvious that there was a gang up to kill this bill. People that are supposed to be fasting came back and shouted ‘nay’,” he said.

@ bolded, that got me laughing. Seems they tried to pass the bill behind others' back.

TheEastActivist:
And later you tell the South to unite and fight for osibanjo 2019 or Tinubu 2019?? Story for the gods..

Delusion. Your vote is useless, no one asked for your rubbish unity or fight, you that is even begging for freedom. Get lost

fabre4:



What assets do South east have? How many good federal roads, since the war ended how many concrete projects have been carried to rehabilitate the south east. I think the truth is that deep down the mind of this politicians they don't want anything good for any other region, that isn't the north. But it's fine election is by the corner the nepotistic children of Usman Dan fodio must not be annoyed.

Why must you impose the ''asset option'' on Lagos to defeat the special status wish of Lagosians, yet you wanted yours to be approved for your region?

Odingo1:

Nobody gang up against the Bill,the bill was modified to add to add three states in it, you people dont want other regions of Nigeria to develop except lagos,if people flock in it,you people will start shouting again.

I know how pained you must be right now and no explanation from you can make me feel indifferent. Like Ibos always say, you dont need FG because y'all are Enterpreneurs!

ewigmee:
People should be a little diplomatic . Igbos are screaming marginalization round the world , they bring bill for South east development, you kill it. You plan to borrow money for railways across the country and you exclude only South east. Any thing for south east is cancelled .. Believe it or not, you giving the world reasons to believe the Biafran agitators stories.

Story teller

Below was your reaction when Ibo lawmakers joined their northern colleagues to kill the Lagos special status bill.

Eastactivist:
This is an insult to other member state intelligence...

What's commercial about Lagos to warrant 1% of Nigeria revenue... That's bullshit

I vote against such wicked tribalistic bill.

I know you must have forgotten you made such a silly statement but the internet never forgets. We either learn to work together or continue to lose together.

What will you gain from lagos been only single state to be granted a special status ,the bill was modified and two state was added to it.

I think it is a shame, trying to get the FG to allocate money so we can further share what the Niger Delta is producing , they will tell u the Niger Delta has a development commission, this is becos they are bloody feeding the entire country even the so called FIRS and Customs monies are greatly tied to Oil gotten from the Niger Delta, if you were to ask them to fund this so called commission by their states in the region contributing solely for the purpose or IGR then they will refuse.

Odingo1:

Nobody threw away the lagos bill, stop lying,three state in Nigeria where added to it which better and will spread development in Nigeria,if other people flock to lagos now,you people will start shouting that they should go back to their regions,you people want everything to be going to lagos and non to other regions.
Fani Kayode,fayose,Reno are usual yoruba talkatives,they are champining any Igbo cause but for their personal interest, IpoB Biafra movement is doing so as clearly demostrated in may 30th sit at home.

Reno Omokri is now Yoruba. Why are you ipob tout daft and have no working brain? Is it a curse on you people. Gosh....

"Two things happened, it was obvious that there was a gang up to kill this bill. People that are supposed to be fasting came back and shouted nay", he said.



"We all heard it and still the presiding officer gave it to the "nays".




My question to these people that supposed to be fasting is;

1)Why did you say "No" to the development of south East?.

2) Is it your personal money that will be used for this project?.

3) Can you honestly tell me with facts what your states contributes to the project Nigeria positively more than these SE states?.

Cry babies and kids, so you think once you present a bill it's as good as passed? Is it his personal money? So you can't think that any more money going to a region is equal to less going to other regions without a similar commission. Those are responsible representatives who understand why they are there.

What is the mover of the bill giving in return to other regions to make them pass the SE development bill? Has he committed to support any bill dear to the heart of other regions?

when will your federal government open ports in the SS and SE and see if anyone give a fck about Lagos.

You are a bitter soul,at least the world is seeing the heart of men that Igbos are sharing the same country with.

When your people rejected lagos special status bill, you were not bitter souls.
You people are greedy!

The Yorubas voted against SE and SS in 2005 Constitutional Conference. The reason the Conference saw no light. Betrayers refering to just 2016 Tinubu's bill.

The north have;North Ecological fund,North East development commission, so other region apart from North can have that also

Abeg make SE break out nd become Biafra's na by force, it doesn't really change much people can b in Nigeria as dey av been nd odas in SE as dey have been, d only difference is they have different govt nd av dia say in dia own country, just like oda countries in d world. So simple. Biko Kai kewa!!!

The bill was not rejected,rather two state was added to it to spread development in Nigeria,you people want only lagos to be the developed state in Nigeria which is very bad and too greedy of you people.

Your head dey there. I honestly do not understand the reason the SW were canvassing for a special status for Lagos. Lagos already has more money ( allocations + IGR), than all other states, Lagos is more credit worthy in the international credit market that all other states in Nigeria. Lagos is about the only state that is developing infrastructurally and in other developmental induces in Nigeria, and you want to take more money from our meagre earnings and give to Lagos.
Lagos is already accused of under developing the rest of the country because over 70% of non oil economic activities is concentrated in Lagos. So pumping more federal money in Lagos would lead to further drain of other states of their productive population, further exasperating the population explosion of lagos and its associated social problems.
What we should be advocating for is for the creation of special status for one state in each region in order to develop it to a mini "Lagos", that way development would be spread evenly among the regions and relieve the pressure on Lagos.

A Yoruba rep member ,Kehinde Agboola supported the bill.
The question now is,would a rep member from the East have supported a bill for the creation of a SW commission?

FIRS makes their money from the SW particularly Lagos and Ogun with clusters of companies and Industries.
