The only acceptable formula is ,
The federal government should GET OUT.
Total resource control.

This institution called the FG is responsible for spreading poverty ,mismanagement and every other bad thing across the country.
This is the reason why some folk can afford to ban liquor but still want to partake in sharing revenues from same.
Free money ,no effort .
Let states or regions collect their taxes , control their electricity, telecommunications, rail , road , regimental army etc . Let them contribute 10% of their income for the FG upkeep

True Federalism/fiscal autonomy for all ethnic nationalities! El finito!

sweetboiy:
ok... so back to my original question please

tooco:
bt i'v neva seen u campaign/open a thread for true federalism ,al u do is insulting igbos.

Wyttcat:
None, we lost that opportunity. The closest we had to this was when Yoruba asked for regionalism, and instead for other tribes to queue behind it, they looked away. Forget what people are saying here most Nigerians don't know what they want.

I want some political geeks in the forum to educate me on some "Revenue Allocation Formulas" that could be generally accepted by the Nigeria citizens.

please lets us forget tribalism and discuss this as one Nigeria.

presently the federal government taking maximum share of around 58% or thereabout is wrong and completely wrong.

how could federal govt take more than 36states and 774local govts

The federal govt should take 40%
The state should take 35%
The local govt should take 25%

more developmental responsibility should be given to the states while the federal govt should be responsible for army and foreign missions. Also inter state joint development operation should be promoted among states ..... which one is federal road or state road .....

the federal govt can facilitate construction of interstate roads via counterpart funding by all states affected.


All in all Fiscal Federalism is the way forward, let each state developed with respect to the amount of value she can create for herself.

Buhari or no Buhari. The FG and the constitution from which she gets her power, is the biggest

Let states or regions collect their taxes , control their electricity, telecommunications, rail , road , regimental army etc . Let them contribute 10%-50% of their income for the FG upkeep.
For instance , The SW can attract the investment needed for 24hrs electricity. In fact , I believe we can attract the investments needed for virtually everything but the question mark has always been the baggage of the federal government.
Just look at the taxes being removed from the economy of Lagos .
Imagine the state having access to ordinary 20% of that money . Look at the recent charges on bank accounts and the money being removed from the pockets of people who are resident in Lagos or elsewhere.
The FG will take that money and waste it or give to unproductive states. Starving those who are productive thereby spreading the poverty from unproductive states to productive states.
with what is on ground, the FG cannot justify all the money she is vacuuming from states and region .
Look at Borno . That state is in the top 10 of revenue collectors . It also has numerous natural resources and natural wonders. You can see with your own eyes why inspire of all the free money, they have only been able to mass produce illiterates wh are now the foot soldiers of a terrorist army.
Look at those cattle rearers terrorising farmers all over the place . Without the free money , would the leaders of the nomads not exploited the cattle husbandry value chain. Milk , beef and all . What about the solar and the gas ,which is definitely under the soil ,for electricity production and sale.
Look at Benue with two major rivers and arable land , yet cannot support year round agriculture.
You can give 10 year support for those states or regions to those who cannot carry their own weight.
No region is poor , the leaders only need to do a little bit of soul searching .

mikolo80:
SMH, why shouldn't local govt control at least 50% while state and federal get 30 and 20% respectively

Lordave:
That man gave you the best answer in the world and you say Nigeria practises federalism, what's federalism by the way?

TonyeBarcanista:
That's not true
