Ok, let's wait for what the governors will say why they are unable to pay salaries

[size=18pt]Economic diversification will never happen as long as there is no return to true federalism [/size]

How can Osun state under the parasitic aregberascal become less dependent on federal handouts and bailouts from bad loans they undertook in lieu of oil receipts?

How can Kano return to its prime agro-allied based economy when every month Abuja doles out free money drawn from oil receipts that is justified from a ridiculous censor figure?

How can Kogi continue to remain in abject poverty while sitting on huge and vast mineral deposits?

As long as the petrol dollar still oils this parasitic union, all the lazy states will continue to look at Abuja for money.

Every month, the 36 state governors send their finance commissioners to Abuja to share from oil revenue.

The resource control you deny the good people of the Niger Delta inadvertently is what is responsible for your poverty.

If Tajus in Osun can forget Abuja and the oil in the Niger Delta, won't they find an alternative to survive instead of dragging peanuts and salaries that aregberascal has sworn never to pay you ingrates?

For every evil jealous intentions you hold against the progress of the good people of the Niger Delta in controlling their own resources it has backfired and made you more impoverished.

Take a cue from the SE, these guys do not have time for state allocations and this has made the ibos the largest group within the middle class.
Self reliance and good old fashion hard work and not govt handouts is the only solution from your poverty.

You lot band out different nonsense like agriculture, tourism (as if any sane person will want to visit Nigeria outside business) , etc as an alternative to a mono economic but none of you are doing anything whatsoever to achieve this.

Imagine the Ooni of Ife telling the FG to come and exploit gold deposits in Osun. What stops you Tajus from panning for gold? The US frontiers were opened by the gold rush, so why are you lazy Tajus not mining for gold? Gold is better than cash at hand. Is it that you are so dependent on handouts and allergic to wealth that you are not mining the gold in Osun on your own? Go to Gembu in Taraba, there is a thriving gemstone and diamond mining town where Tarabans are making millions from diamond exploration and sales. The same with Kogi with tantalite.

Sometimes I just have to assume that most of you here are just the epitome of cluelessnes and poverty.

In conclusion, I want you to forget about oil. It's not like you produce a single drop of it. And before you mention Ondo, Ondo is not the whole SW and I am.very sure they will never accommodate you all like the way the aworis have in Lagos. And even at that Ondo produces only 30,000 bpd out of the over 2.5million barrels. You guys really need to wean yourselves off the petrol dollar and also purge yourselves of unnecessary jealousy and envy of the Niger Delta.

HHANDM:


Agreed that true fedralism will bring lasting solution and development.

But do states have control over solid minerals within their domains or are you not aware that's the exclusive preserve of the FG

yaki84:
imagine if the 177billion was shared among the oil producing states.......
dis one naijairia is tirings me o.

said that N22.4 billion, representing 13 per cent derivation revenue was shared among oil producing states.

If platinuim is found in abundance in the north will they not clamour for resource control?

What you wish against the ND will come and hunt you

I hope this your perpetual anger is only on Nairaland

Coming soon to a Southwest public square soon

Enjoy your cowardly Nairaland delusions.
You are probably one handicap that is frustrated with your life, that may explain this your perpertual act of crying and whining.

You chose slavery and so shall you and your generations remain enslaved

TheFreeOne:


Aside the drop in oil revenue, SPOs with banks on various loans taken by governors are part of the reasons they couldn't pay salaries of workers.

Majority of these governors lack necessary management skills, failed to prioritize salaries and they ain't willing to stop their extravagant lifestyles.

I dont know why they have refused to go for leadership courses

Oma307:
It pains me when i see state like kogi state lavishing in abject poverty despite the numerous natural resourses within the state. I pity the state, they need a visionary leader who can governance them well
