bkool7: South East Senators supported the Special Recognition for Lagos bill because it benefits their people who have a large population based in Lagos, it was Northern Senators who opposed it, stop lying in public or give us a link to any SE Senator that opposed it 3 Likes |

ProWalker: Interesting you used the word "ungovernable". There is only one person who is known to have used that word, Buhari. So maybe subconsciously you are trying to say something else. 3 Likes |

The southwest senators supported the bill yet my Igbo brothers will still insult us, the SE senators voted against the Lagos special status bill but supported the Northeast development commission bill,who is fooling who?? S.E senators should step up their game ,stay clear from politics of east vs west but rather unite to form an alliance in the hallow chamber.. 10 Likes |

Chamboor:They did not,the bill was amended to add two more state,what they are saying is that lagos should not be only state in Nigeria that will have a special status,the adding of Kano and Anambra to the special status state is the best.You people will not gain anything if lagos continue to be the only big city in Nigeria. |

many of us makes comments base on our emotions, unverified information and our tribal leaning. I was once told that as humans, we don't have one thought, mind and reasons that is why we have politics. it is d sponsors of d bill that fail to convince others and not tribal sentiment |

FriendNG: Every part of the country is entitled to development. Stop hiding under the guise of "not building bridges" to support an unfair act. The SE is still a part of Nigeria at this current moment, still contributes to its coffers, and so should be entitled to what any other region is entitled to. That is fairness. One of the key things lacking in this country. 3 Likes |

The rest of the country is silent. These northerners are the just using our money for upkeep and marrying more wives. The VAT from industries in the South will be used to develop NE. Have the North ever helped us before. I see bad times ahead. I strongly believe Nigeria won't last up to a decade. Injustice rules the land. Freedom is near. 2 Likes 1 Share |

bkool7:which war some religious and political bullsh1t?... if we really want to have a true nation what is good for the north is good for the east, after the civil war what was done to rebuild the destroyed south east? then some self inflicted religious trash in the northeast the whole country will suffer to rebuild the northeast. Now check the revenue of this same north east and the relegated South-East you will still find another reason why the south easterners want to leave the country for their own country which is justifiable. "train a man so well that he wants to leave btr treat him nicely that he wouldn't want to leave" thats what Nigeria should do to every part of the country and we would leave in peace who doesnt like peace. 5 Likes |

This bill is uncalled for, all what they seek can be done with the allocation they get if their governors can be honest with it. There is no need for a development commission as there is no insurgency or environmental degradation due to exploitation or exploration of natural resources. |

nwabobo: The injustice in this country is heartbreaking. It's just a matter of time. We say let us sit down and talk, they say no. Allow those who want out to go, they no. Well, well, I got news for them:those who make peaceful change impossible make violent changes inevitable. The day cometh when nature will pass her irrevocable and uncompromising decree, for evil cannot constantly reorganise itself. It must break down at one point or the other. 1 Like 1 Share |

[quote author=wirinet post=57106784] The Senate on Thursday passed a bill to establish the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) to be partly funded by; 1. 3 per cent of Value Added Taxes accruable to the Federal Government. 2. 15 per cent of allocation to the states 3. 50 per cent deduction of the ecological fund due to the six North Eastern states. Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/senate-passes-bill-establishing-north-east-development-commission/ Please note; About 70% of total VAT is generated from Lagos. Allocation to the states and ecological fund is hand outs of oil revenue The truth of the matter is we have nothing in common with you people It's just a matter of time b4 Nigeria disintegrate , and y are notherners afraid of disintegration? It's bcs they will be poor their faith is awaiting them and the Yoruba's As an Igbo man, SE commission or not we are not the poorest in Nigeria so this should not be an issue The generation of Igbo's born after the civil war are wiser we have prepared our minds for any eventualities But I will never encourage any of my generations to invest outside the SE, their country Nigeria is a failed state visit any yorobbers and northern villagers and also visit Igbo villages and compare This parasitic regions cant survive without stealing oil |

Odingo1: Thank you sir, the SW senators did not cry foul whereas this bill will benefit not only Lagos but Nigeria as a nation due to the Economic position of Lagos and large influx of migration of other tribes into the center of excellence.. U cited adding adding Kano and anambra to the special status state will be the best, Adding SOUTHWEST DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION,NORTHCENTRAL DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION,NORTHWEST DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION won't be bad idea either.. One of the senators from the Southeast said he will not support the Lagos special status bill because if voted in other states will start calling for finances and support, I think the same rule apply here too 4 Likes |
