SirShymexx:My thoughts exactly, they should stay in their region if they want the larger chunk of the Budget. They are only using ethnic sentiment to analyse issues. I have said it in a previous thread when Fashola revealed his road map that Lagos- IB road, Apapa-Oshodi and MM Airport road should be top priority. Too bad for IPOB it's all in the SW but these are the most strategic projects that serves majority of Nigerians. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Alanzazani: Actually look again, the second Niger bridge seems to have been captured in the SS allocation not the SC. The breakdown is correct to the tune of 2.9 billion for the SE. I'm not too hurt tho, just glad the bridge is at least there, that's one thing off the list. 2 Likes |

repogirl:65% of economy drivers resides in SW. 60% of what was allocated to SW goes to Lag-ibd expressway, that road benefits the whole of Nigeria , goods imported to the country are transported via that road to exit Lagos,not forgettting refined petroleum products, it is a win win situation for everyone. Most of the manufactured goods in the country are distributed via that route, quit being sentimental, stay objective. 7 Likes 1 Share |

The real issue is this the Main Port in Nigeria is in the Lagos and the road for getting stuff out of there Lagos -Ibadan and to a lesser extent Sagamu are the most important roads in Nigeria. If those two roads block for one month it will have a greater impact than even shutting down oil production. They are not necessarily even for the SW but for the North and the East . They are the main beneficiaries. On the other hand what does the SW benefit from a second Niger Bridge? 13 Likes 1 Share |

Topeakintola:You are absolutely correct. Is it padding of budget at work or typographical error? That remains to the seen. But wait, they didn't add the federal road connecting Imo & Rivers states that is the worst road in Nigeria. This ineffective pregnant governor in Imo will not talk to his oga @ Aso rock. It is the least he can do afterall he donated Imo state's treasury for Buhari's presidential campaign fund. |

chinchum:my grouse is not even against the southwest, I don't know why all of you are jumping over hot coals to defend them. What I can see clearly is that 2.9 billion is an unreasonably low amount to be budgeted for the whole of the south east, that's all. 1 Like |

Obiodunukwe:Oga you are way wrong ,the only reason ppl migrate in their numbers to the West is Lagos .cos Lagos has over time bin giving the preferential treatment . Its high time we started doing the right thing ,its time to depopulate Lagos n open up other sections of the country. We have to achieve that by putting n establishing Federal presence in other states of the country. No Wander this budget is called budget of corruption . 1 Like |

swiperthefox:That road is terrible, it needs to be looked into. Even if they can't do it now they should pour some granite on it. I took that route on my way to PH last. The issue is that it's only strategic roads that are giving top priority for now. |

omonnakoda: you are spot on bro. the lagos-ibadan express way is not as important to yoruba ppl when compared to the northerners and the south easterners. for instance one can go to ibadan passing through abeokuta. you can go to the oke-ogun areas passing through ilaro, badagry, you can go to ondo passing through ajah, epe and connecting ijebu-ode. I can go on and on. the roads that will serve yoruba ppl in particular are not even getting attention. all this noise should just go and take a chill pill 6 Likes 1 Share |

Wait I believe the southwest is cheated here. 75 percent of the ministry budget should have been allocated to the South west. Ask me why. Simply out, 75 percent of people from the SE are resident in the SW, 40 percent of people in the SS are resident in the SW, 45 percent of every other tribe is resident in the SW. Go to Sango Otta and see our people from the SE, go to any corner of ogun to oyo to ondo and see these people in their millions. They use our infrastructure and contribute very little to our economy. In fact, personally I will exchange dangote for all these people without a second thought. But here we are, one Nigeria and one region gets to carry the burden of two major other regions. I believe one day, the SW will get equity in this country. 9 Likes |
