Bigger allocation? Is the money not coming from its land ? What is big collecting 13 out of 100 u produced and others collecting 10 out 100 they did not produce?

U must be from an area getting benefits from the resources of the ND , this madness almost stop sooner than later

D little one he dy get, make he show workings, nobi Cho cho cho.. na lil one some states get dem use dy do great tyns, den state weh no reach anywhere dey collect pass with no achievement.

Onogiede:
See my brother just wake up,..Abuja and Lagos are among top Africa great Cities been built by Niger Delta Oil Funds. Tomorrow they will be telling people to go back to their state in Same country..

It is obvious, you don't know your history.......before the discovery of oil , Lagos na forest abi? What year oil was discovered in Nigeria?

Why can't Niger Delta develope their region, despite the huge allocation they are collecting?

MEEVEET:

Are you from bayelsa? Do they owe you any account?

Had Lagos accounted for all the trillions they get?

Without the initial federal investment in Lagos
How is Lagos better than bayelsa

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Go and read your history book about Lagos........ Bayelsa is the most useless state in the South. Followed by Edo state .....wetin una dey do with the money .....

Saidfx:
I heard they love Gorilla or chimpanzee pepper soup in Bayelsa state.

🤣🤣🤣🤣


You are not far from the truth......

Gorilla pepper soup and ogogoro.......that state is extremely backward....

Mrexcell:



The monthly faac allocations and igr is not enough to develop the difficult terrain of the niger delta building a bridge like the eko bridge in lagos or the abuja train facility across the creeks and mangrove forests in the niger delta will costs billions of dollars not billions of naira from faac allocations.

So wetin Dem come dey do with the 13%? Dem dey pocket am , use am dey drink Ogogoro

Faiththatworks:
I totally agree with the Governor of Bayelsa state,it's madness to claim Bayelsa is insolvent and can't survive without Federal Allocation,yet its oil and gas revenue is shared by 35 other states every month.
I believe it's high time the revenue due to the oil producing states be increased to 50%.
It's financial laziness for states like Osun,Kogi, Zamfara,Lagos and all the other states to expect revenue from the Oil and gas mined in Niger Delta state.
What did these states contribute financially to the mining of oil and gas in the Niger Delta states to expect any form of revenue.
The bible tells me you reap what you sow,what have these states sowed in the Niger Delta states in the last 30 years that they are continually paid revenue from the Oil and gas mined in these regions.
Enough of the Unity Fear,let every state in Nigeria mine their natural resources,keep 50% of the resources and transfer what's left to the Federal purse.
If anyone isn't comfortable with this suggestion,then it's time to start rethinking this project called Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria

I would have said you guys should stop yapping nonsense,but I won't.
Despite FAC and oil derivation,most Niger Delta governors are just lazy in thinking through their challenge all they clamour for is more money with little or nothing to show for.

Go to northern states that do not share up to half of what these Niger Delta states receive they are out performing them by miles.
This entitlement mentality especially by the youths and all those so called leaders are taking us back to square one
.
Small allocation una leaders no fit manage na wetin big pass them dem dey always ask for.

Personally,they do not deserve all these things they are calling for.

Go north and see what their governors are doing and shame go catch you say you dey talk this kind talk.

PS: I am a pure Niger Delta guy from Edo State so you no fit say I no be Niger Deltan based on wetin I talk.

What has he done with the one he has been receiving.


Excuse to cover up incompetence.

betshopagent:
before Oil there was Coal.Even your tiny Bayelsa enjoyed the Coal proceeds. East was the center of it before we discovered oil. Even now, the tiny 5 eastern states equally produce oil. so what's your point?

Oga how do you know the guy is from bayelsa 🙄

AareGaa:


Jonathan looted the amnesty money of Niger Deltans to set up Air peace

Air peace had nothing to do with Jonathan.

Sleekfingers:





🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Go and read your history book about Lagos........ Bayelsa is the most useless state in the South. Followed by Edo state .....wetin una dey do with the money .....

I know the history of Lagos

Bayelsa built it own airport do Lagos have an airport? Which of the bridges did Lagos build?
Ports?

AareGaa:


Jonathan did not please any cabal.
He looted massively when in office.

The money he used to set up air peace was Niger Deltan amnesty funds.

Keep on lying.

Sleekfingers:




So wetin Dem come dey do with the 13%? Dem dey pocket am , use am dey drink Ogogoro

Building roads, paying salaries and pensions they can't do much with the current faac allocations building mega structures like we see in Lagos and Abuja will forever remain a dream in the niger delta if nigeria don't restructure.

wirinet:

You are very correct, a sort of confederate system whereby power is vested within the constituent administrative division is ideal, but its not practical given our checkered history, our ability to abuse power and greed. It will be a complete state of anarchy. We would have 36 mini empires ruled by authoritarian rulers instead of the absolute single Emperor as is the case today. Imagine people like Wike, Uzodinma, Ganduje, etc, having absolute control over a police or paramilitary force they would not only oppress their political opponents, they would suppress their people.

As I said in a proper democracy whereby the states assemblies and the courts can check the powers of the governor, it can work. In Nigeria, the legislature is an appendage of the government, while the courts are powerless, afraid to defy a governor.

It can only work at regional level not at the level of these tiny states with twenty to thirty something legislators.

Scamburster:

Air peace had nothing to do with Jonathan.

Dey deceive yourself.

Kuku and GEJ diverted the amnesty money to set up Air peace

Eriokanmi:
No research needed. I be lagosian and i was around when jakande ruled here.

Ok

Elzazzi:


I'm from Delta state and I concur with you

My brother It's so sad to see how our states have been mismanaged, despite the huge allocations the governors get.

Nothing, but we have more than ur state

YorubaNiBaba:
pls wetin dey that state, abi nah ogogoro the mumu governor dey talk about

NorthernAgender:
Some of you are just stark illiterate you think oil exploration just started with just land drilling without putting head together can your niger delta pay the amount of money made by both north, and southwest before oil exploration started.

You are the uninformed one here. Go and do proper research of Nigeria's main revenue sources and exported agricultural produces from the 1940s to 1960s. Export of Palm oil, palm kernel, natural rubber, and timber (which were all gotten mainly from the Niger Delta region and the South East) contributed to Nigeria's national income far more than the export of groundnut, cotton, and cocoa.

The best time to have planted this tree was 20yrs ago,the best other time is now.

Thank God people like you are beginning to wake up.
Fubara and co should wake up likewise.

Again, lets have true federalism so each state controls their resources. How they manage their resources is their business

patrickmuf:
The same money that will still be looted by the political class?

If things were right, even with the money Bayelsa gets now, it should be one of the most developed states. You can struggle to manage millions and want people to trust you with billions. There's a reason some billionaires rather employ professionals with the requisite skills to manage their businesses than trust it in the hands of their children.

Creamypie:
See this thief. With only 8 local government, of which some parts are water, its not an excuse for you and ur gang to steal aggressively.b4 any person attack me, I be deltan. Delta and bayelsa suppose be another Lagos, considering the 17 billion monthly location minus 13% monthly oil derivation alone. Mind u, bayelsa has just 8 l.gs.no need allowing our governors to be in charge of our resources. They will all be looted

you think is by mouth to develop creeks.

AareGaa:


Dey deceive yourself.

Kuku and GEJ diverted the amnesty money to set up Air peace

Any link to this gossip?

I am from the Niger delta, one of the highest oil producing areas of the Niger Delta fir that matter. Can you please explain how your own ideas of resource control works. Even within the states of the Niger Delta, not every Local Government or community is an oil producing one.

E no concern you. I am a Bayelsa, and I support Diri. Allow us to have full control of our resources and security. Instead of allowing abokis and their south western wife to continue to loot us blind in fake one nigeria, let fellow Ijaws do that. At least, the people can face them squarely.

Mr. Thief what have you done with the billions of niara you have collected so far?

Without federal govt allocation and federal govt not sharing in Lagos IGR, Lagos state will be fine


You m0rons are just jealous of Lagos state but still can't leave, most of you can even kee your parents for ritual to be able to afford to rent house in Lagos


Having said that one would expect you to mention your region as one of the beneficiary of Niger delta oil but you won't because of the attached by force of SE/SS that SS have publicly rebuke politically and during the civil war



Are Igbo govs not collecting allocation? What's the internal revenue of average Igbo state that developed them and pay their civil servants if not for federal allocation derive from Niger delta oil


If Lagos allocation is withheld Lagos will be fine, so I wonder how you think an industrialize states, investors favourites state sit their ass down like your gov for Niger delta oil

At least, most of the communities are among the impacted communities, either pipeline running through their lands, or proximity to gas flare. Aside that, it is high time healthy competition is encouraged. Communities or states without oil can take loans from those who have to start up major infrastructure that will enhance production. They can develop themselves with that and then be able to pay back the loan. Bayelsa can loan kaduna state or any other, and within stapulated time they will pay up. So we just want total control of our resources.
I am from an oil producing community in Bayelsa; in fact my family is the host or landlord. It annoys me that my resources is shared with the northerners who keep their gold and others to themselves. And also the yorubas who undermine us through their support for one Nigeria that is not working.

Coolgent:
Mr. Thief what have you done with the billions of niara you have collected so far?

It is not your business

Same federalism happens in USA, Canada etc so we cannot copy a political system and copy it wrongly. The states are sub-nationals with the state government and state house of assembly. Resources of a state should be managed at that level and a certain percentage paid to the federal govt to run the military, immigration, federal government,
customs.

The communities within the states have what they can collect tax on but ultimately the state manages the resources for every resident of that state.

When things are manged at subnational levels, its easier to manage. There will also be competition among states.

Hez143:

Oga, no be niger delta money dem use develop Lagos

no be Lagos money dem take develop bigger Delta? How much comes from oil, how much comes from customs and taxes?

Remove that "Icon of Unity" from the award. what are you unifying with this your remarks? even if the whole federal allocation is given to you, you will still complain. Some states are recieving just 2 billion Naira monthly allocation and they have more Land mass, population and infrastructures than you. Misplaced priorities.

OriginalYoruba1:

Na Niger Delta money dey use build Lagos . We Yoruba people are so bad to other Tribe

oshe!!! Yoruba wannabe
