What form of special treatment of former capital is best practice?
They give them a % of Germany's revenue?

The earlier all Nigerian cities start generating their own revenue the better for you and I.
Sharing revenue is no best practice anywhere except Nigeria.

NameCheckers:
so fuqing wat? Only dumb bigoted slow pokes would support this trash

patriotic9jaboy:
the north is hell bent on betraying Tinubu but they forget that no tribe can mess with the almighty oduduwa. They should retrace history and check how yoruba Kingdoms dominated west Africa before the arrival of the British

Mufasa27:

Egbon lets stop this hype for once... Your political guru should have seen this coming, but he didn't... Abeg forget oduduwa for this matter, Your Jagaban is getting schooled by the Abokis


Before you shout your ipob sh*t, I just wanna let you know I'm a Yoruba boy, but my kind of Yoruba is kinda different....

Love Machine:
Is it lagos state government that is feeding lagosians? The population of the state doesn't deplete her revenue. It generates more taxes for the states.She is representing her husband not her constituency.

OBAGADAFFI:


The the Federal government centralisation of Seaports, Airport and Banking/Finance industry are the reasons why people are coming to lagos.


If other seaports and Airports from Ondo to Calaba are giving the same leverage as Lagos, Lagos population will reduce .

LorDBolton:


Simple answer to your very well thought out question... THE BRITISH.

The brits decimated the oyo and benin empires, same way today many people do not remember the roman empire who also conquered Britain!

They were soo decimated that it took centuries to reconstitute the 'italic nations"

Why the brits decimated benin kingdom? Due to their resistance, sophistication and military might. Oyo? To secure the colony of lagos whilst northern nations were spared cos the leaders were amenable (indirect rule)

Abillsable:


They are not as commercial as Lagos State.Lagos State is the top earning state for Nigeria.

PaulIdu:


Good then ..but what about Calabar and Lokoja which were once also capitals

seunmsg:
Lagos as a former federal capital territory deserves a special status for the purpose of revenue sharing in order to manage the huge challenges that was inherited from the relocation of the country's capital. This is in line with best practises all over the world. But unfortunately, tribalism, hatred and outright jealousy will not allow the law makers take the right decision.

Didn't even know you're uneducated, sorry bros. Carry on.

SycophanticGoat:


And what about Calabar?

Yoruba no dey make noise, they are all coming back to SW in 2018 to postrate just as they did in 2015. But this time around, they will be made to bite the dust & kiss Afonja's ass with their mouths. In the meantime, igbos in lagos will bear the brunt. They'd be made to work much more harder & pay more to their yoruba masters in lagos. No time for radarada. All hail Afonja.

PS; The bill will be re-introduced. It's APC top agenda. Igbos, hausa/fulani cannot stop it.
Obey The Truth!

You get ear so Or you nor get eye to see? Maybe na your brain don tumble? Hausa killed Abiola, killed his wife Kudirat, killed Atintola, jailed Obasanjo, jailed general P Diya, killed Awolowo and many more. What did you do to them. At present, they are also walking towards pulling Thieffnubu down, you dey do Oduduwa there. Na so so to open una mouth wide and talk, na that one we know una to be

ificatchmodeh:
....you see this westerners think they're smarter than the rest of the country..
And that's why they always have issue..

What kind of bill gives lagos 1/ of nation revenue..yet when the NDA or naija delta agitators make demands...

Genuine demands that will see to development of the nation's life line.

This same westerners will player hate and support port military invasion. but will want 1/ given to lagos.

So where are the gonna get the 1/ from,even if?



You see greed and ignorance..

arisanate:
Top earning.. what of niger delta that feeds the whole nation since 1960... See how you people think. taxes foreigners pay in lag, every company in naija have their headquarter in lag... foreigners have develop lagos with the help of federal govt and you guys still want to get more preferential treatment... chaii...one nigeria indeed....you need to pray tonight.. All this issues is because the marriage between North n SW is shaking.. The SW are bringing in unnecessary issues. Is it today Lagos stoped being the Capital ..

DerrickzB:


Help me ask d bigot.... i don tire for all the yoruba people... d states that has been d mainstream of nigeria's economy since nkor??

Goke7:
This is a blessing in disguise, I for once wants no special status for Lagos cos it will continue to make folks from other parts of the country lay unnecessary claim on Lagos. The rejection of the bill preserves the the indigenous identity of Lagos which is what a lot of folks do not understand

Lagos remains a Yoruba state and should be preserve as such. To hell with the special status cos it can breed future unnecessary disputes.

That most Nigerians wants to be in Lagos should be seen as a plus and prosperity for posterity for the true indigenes of Lagos.

Eastactivist:
This is an insult to other member state intelligence...

What's commercial about Lagos to warrant 1% of Nigeria revenue... That's bullshit

I vote against such wicked tribalistic bill.
