[size=15pt] LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS! LAZY GOVERNORS![/size]

What is their contribution to the Federation Account?
What are they bringing to the table?
It is this kind of things you see the goat bearded Aregbesola in full swing. Well, I dont blame them sha, when the useless northern govs. are even earning more than theM. To me, it is better the goat bearded one and Mr. English (Fayemi) gets N.D oil money than those bleeping aboki's.

On a more serious note, it is obvious that Edo and Ondo State reluctantly attended the film show (make ee no be like say dem no go na). The way Oshiomole is distancing himself from those acn clowns is funny, while Mimiko is in a world of his own as he Is obviously bigger than ACN.
Oshiomole should be careful, because Edo peeps are beginning to hate ACN with a passion, if him no take time we go sack am and go back to the notorious PDP (funny enough, all the rogues in Edo PDP are now the so called ACN in Edo State)

Take for instance that there is no single drop of oil in Nigeria; won't they survive?

They seriously need to stop waffling,if they are really serious about changing things how much of the 'booty' received so far have been used properly,how much resources have been devoted to Agriculture and education(our strong points).
There's no western region, there's  the  west and the former midwest! What's the point of always kissing up to people who view your actions with huge suspicion,the governors need to really sit down and stop faffing about. They should use that energy on kicking pdp out of  Kwara.Kwara to me is far more strategic and important to the commonwealth but how well are they doing in the  states they have already.
What's  happening to Olokola FTZ port that maybe give far more benefit to Ogun/Ondo,they need to sort that out.
Those who refer to us as parasite may actually have a point now if those who are supposed to chart a new course for our people are beginning to sound confused(though the oil doesn't belong to baba enikan!).[s] They are looking more like Pdp to me!It's so unacceptable cos they have all proved themselves in their personal lives.[/s]
Fiddlestick!

Has laulau Aregbesola even gone back home from Lagos from where he governs Osun by remote control yet? How can such a useless governor demand more money from the FG? He was the one who claimed only in December that he doesn't need any allocation from the FG, because he could generate much more from yams; so it is the height of hypocrisy for him to do a full about turn to ask for more.

Why are these governors so mentally lazy, laulau and useless?

Occupy your governor and LG boss.

Gbawe:

This is a good point. Unreasonable and unfair for all Nigerian States to remain stagnant because of a corrupt, inept and gradualist centre. A reforming President will realise that weakening the centre, fiscally and duty-wise, will have many far reaching positive and developmental advantages.

The desperate clamour to gain power at the centre will reduce drastically if more money and responsibilities are handed to States. When States recieive more money and are given more responsibilities (eg allowed to source their own power solution completely, develop their natural resources endowment and authorised to provide their own police force et al ) then it will be very obvious which States lag behind even when truly empowered. Healthy competition will set in to replace what we have currently whereby indolent and corrupt Governors are able to hide behind the FG as explanation for the failure to develop their State.

DaLover:

lets look at the implications of what you are asking for.
The FG makes its main cash from royalties of crude sales, you want states to handle more responsibilities abi? To what extent? Is it just enuf for the SW states to manage power and ports but not enuf for the 9ja delta states to handle their oil fields? I would like assume you r not that selfish, i would like to assume that you not one of the evil ba5tards that insist on perpetuating this form of corruption,
Lets assume that both the SW and the 9ja delta handle the ports, power and oil fields etc,
then oil and oil products sold by 9ja delta states should be at market rates, gas to power the power solutions should be at market rates and taxes will be paid to FG, but then you also asked for increased money, is that money going to come from the tax paid by the 9ja delta states to the FG? Will the 9ja states be paying tax so that it can be shared to other states?
Y not start using ur brains instead, i think thats the way forward.

Alternatively they should put up another of their sons for sale

Ufeolorun:

What exactly are you going on about gan sef!you keep straddling threads chatting about oil this oil that,stop the oil-hugging attitude njare! hen.
If you had to put your back into cultivating the oil you probably be suicide bombing the so called parasites by now .
It's a big joke if you think crude oil value chain will also be subject of resource control.

GAR3TH:

Lagos alone account for 90% of nigeria's foreign trade and 30% of nigeria's GDP, but yet has the budget of a village and get neglected by the FG. I'm not really sure why people are complain when governors are asking for true federalism.
