I hope it gets to where it kills free money from oil and gas too!

GBTYO:


We are getting there and don't complain when your state gets poorer.

Yes, I know you are from the SE and NO, you don't produce any significant quantity of crude that can sustain any one of your states that are currently drilling crude.

You will understand why SE opposed higher allocations to SS oil producing states only to lobby GEJ to grant license to SE businessmen to begin drilling marginal oil fields in the SE after Yaradua secured 13% to oil producing states. Currently , Ondo produces more crude oil than all SE oil producing states combined.

So don't cry when this happens and you begin to run to join northerners to oppose the reform when it begins.

Thewrath:

At bolded,I guess there is only one way to find out if the SE has large oil and gas deposits….total disintegration if you are so sure of yourselves and not the figures that come from Abuja.

Leave @ GBTYO,let them be fooling themselves with figures from Abuja! There is o my one way to find out.

GBTYO:


So how come your State governors, legislators and politicians are not crying that FG is cheating them by announcing low figures of oil production out from your SE?

Is it possible for the FG to get away with this cheating as you claim with none of your governors , senators raising alarm?

Think before you post here.

Thewrath:

100% possible,the federal government determines what figures comes out from your state even during population census,same way with election results!
What can the governors do after raising alarm?

GBTYO:


Lol.

You dey play.

Oil production can not be done in silence .

Payments to oil companies are not done in silence unless you want to say the oil companies drilling in the SE who happen to be mostly from same SE are conspiring with NNPC officials to downplay production volumes.

Then how do they get paid the shortfall when every state governor, senator in Nigeria has their eyes glued to oil production and NNPC affairs?

Think.

GBTYO:
With no more free money coming from Abuja, states will look inwards and their greatest assets won't be natural resources to exploit but the tax base of their population.

The greater the population within a state, the higher the commercial activity to be milked.

This bill will not only kill agitation for the creation of new states but might even see to states merging in future.

With states merging, a return to regionalism is on the horizon.

Who would have thought that restructuring Nigeria back to her original template at independence will require reforms in states' allocation from the central government?

Tinubu is operating on 5D chess move mode.

Thewrath:

Why is there no oil exploration going on in SE where there is already oil but they are spending more money in zamfara desert with no hope…simple,because they don’t want that bragging rights for SE..

See,a lot of things are configured not to favour the SE like making sure it has only 5 states,you may call it victim mentality but it’s the truth,even the SE land mass figures are fake…the day an independent body will conduct a census and revels the true population is the day you will know why the north is running away from conducting a census supervised by an independent body.

Warrior99:
You are seeing FAR 🎯

Leave the parasitic east whose sole purpose is to play the role of SPOILER because a Yoruba man is the president.

Whether the North or the East likes it, REGIONALISM (with Resource Control) is inevitable ✍🏾

Mrfeel:

A yoruba senator from ekiti stood up and openly said going back to regional government is as good as given igbos biafra , supporting the north against regional government

GBTYO:


Citation and reference required.

Mrfeel:

You haven't given me reference to your own claim of south east not wanting resource control or going back to regional government?

GBTYO:




You don't want to return to regionalism for the same reasons your progenitors in the form of the Zikists destroyed our regional government in 1966.

Since then, have you seen any Ibo politician calling for restructuring back to regionalism?

If that’s the case then Abuja can no longer be taking the Lion share of resources in a state anymore. All na the same inward looking.

Mrfeel:


What is now known as geopolitical zones was Alex ekwema's dream of returning to regional government with six regional government with six prime ministers heading the regions everything was all planned and mapped out by him and he pursued that dream till his death

GBTYO:


Wrong,

Abuja is funded by Federal govt share which will not be affected.

This bill pays states more and in the long run will enthrone competency and accountability of governance at all levels.

olisaEze:


By Abuja I was referring to the Fg & not the location. If u really understand the bill it pays some states more than others, whether long or short term. And even you know that your last sentence is actually gibberish and has no foundation in taxation. It’s the same line that was used to remove the fuel subsidy. Where is the competence, where is the accountability, where is the prosperity that the removal was promised to bring? Heck, where is the saved subsidy money sef??

GBTYO:


It pays more to states that are open to business and not those that are happy in their moribond terrorist induced state.


Good to see you guys in the SE are no longer hiding and are now openly against equity which this bill promotes.

GBTYO:



The regions of today are a shadow of themselves and only exist in nomenclature only.
