My friend you don't know these things smart people reside in every part of the country but in a situation where one has been with one "smart" person for one year, it is difficult to replace that person , people form bonds only by spending 3 weeks in camp only,
I am not aware of any Oil Company that officially gives out job slots, the only role I know is guaranteed for Indegenes is that of "CLO" Community Liaison officer.
The reason I talked about the HQ is because, I know someone that dropped his CV at a company's head office In Abuja, he was called for an interview that same week, although they weren't recruiting officially.

And btw I am not "jobless" only stating facts..


my Friend here is how this thing works, it's not about putting Yorubas or Igbos and according to the last statistics released the Igbos are actually doing better than the Yorubas in terms of Education currently.


Anyway I am tired..

MrEverest:
You guys are very wicked indeed, so with all the resources already giving to Lagos you people still want more? Lagos was developed for ages using our collective resources, even today almost all imports are chanelled through Lagos, most inward and outward flights, Most government agencies and parastatals, all headoffices of IOC's etc at the detriment of other parts of the South. Anybody from the SE & SS that still supports the daylight robbery that this Godforsaken ZOO embodies, really needs his or her head examined. No country built on injustice lasts eg USSR, Sudan, Czeckzlovakia, Bosnia etc. They all crumble in the end, and Nigeria will not be an exception, it happens gradually & we are already on its path!

TheRealestGuy:


You just like most of the others levelling this accusation are just evil tribal warriors with little brain power.

Anything that has to do with Lagos isn't a Yoruba affair, you should take good note of this...

Secondly, a state that generates the highest IGR in the country (302 billion in 2016) needs nothing like special status and if you can only see this from a tribal angle then I weep for the future of this country...


We are on the brink of a cataclysmic event and we can only be saved by wisdom, rational deliberations and objectivity.


Stop seeing everything from a tribal angle...


PS: After the war what efforts did Nigeria make to rebuild the SE? We all know how the RRR was hijacked and failed woefully...

You only hate what you don't understand

ipodstinks:
What brain in in your head. That same oba akinolu has called you a madman if you say Lagos is not Yoruba land. Be conversant with news kid.

Ovamboland:


All the IGR you are salivating about is less than $1 Bn for a whole year, while a state like New York almost same size as Lagos in population budgets $120 Bn a year.
Yet you expect superb roads, fast rail, healthcare, education from the paltry $1 bn, who says Lagos doesn't need more help or increased IGR is really dumb

The Niger bridge Ojukwu blew up was repaired by who? from the 20 pounds or with worthless Biafran currency? The food relief after surrender and the reintegration into FG jobs such that today Imo state has the highest number of federal workers shows the rehabilitation in RRR was abandoned?
When are you going to show appreciation for anything? The Hausa that were massacred in Iboland before the war commenced have you compensated them?

sekundosekundo:




Let me educate you sir,

The bank accounts of all the Easterners were frozen by Nigerian govnt[i][/i] as a punishment leaving only £20 for each account. Those that survived the war, has to build on this.

@ the bolded - so when you decided to declare a sovereign nation from another sovereign nation, were you planning to still maintaining an account from the country that you declared war against? See reasoning o.

"Two things happened, it was obvious that there was a gang up to kill this bill. People that are supposed to be fasting came back and shouted nay", he said.



"We all heard it and still the presiding officer gave it to the "nays".


Why didnt they propose this bill during 16 years PDP. It would have sailed through. Why wait for APC led house to pass it when Jonathan was the president up till 2 years ago? Something is wrong somewhere.




My question to these people that supposed to be fasting is;

1)Why did you say "No" to the development of south East?.

2) Is it your personal money that will be used for this project?.

3) Can you honestly tell me with facts what your states contributes to the project Nigeria positively more than these SE states?.

when the SE answer the reason why lagos special status bill was killed.The bill would have further prooved that lagos is a no mans land as you have always wanted us to believe.But you killed it,knowing deep inside you and sub-consciously that it belongs to the Afonjas.

meccuno:
By Henry Umoru FOR the second time in three years, the Senate, yesterday, rejected proposals to grant Lagos a special status, in view of the avalanche of socio-economic challenges it is facing as former political capital of Nigeria. The state is still the economic capital and nerve centre of the country. ADVERTISING Indeed, the Senate Chambers was thrown into a rowdy session as senators deliberated on a bill for an act to make provision for a special Federal grant to Lagos State. The Bill, titled A Bill for an Act to make provisions for Federal Grants to Lagos State in recognition of its strategic socio- economic significance and other connected purposes, was sponsored by Senator Oluremi Tinubu, All Progressives Congress, APC, Lagos Central. The said Bill was first presented to the upper chamber in the 7th Senate, but the lawmakers turned it down at the committee stage. Specifically, on June 5, 2013, the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu-led Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Constitution Review, in its report, ruled out special status for Lagos. It said: “On Special Status for Lagos, while the Committee appreciates the peculiar needs and challenges of Lagos, it is our considered opinion that according such special status should be a matter of political decision, which should be kept out of the Constitution.” Yesterday, while opposing the move, Senators Gershom Bassey, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Cross River South, and Philip Tanimu Aduda, PDP, FCT, said the same provision being asked for by Senator Tinubu, be provided for Calabar, being the first Capital of Nigeria and Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory. Aduda, who said he would only support the bill if FCT got similar attention and special funding from the Federation Account, said: “I will support it (bill) on one condition, that what will be given to Lagos State should be given to other states like the FCT. Some special allocations should be given to FCT. The FCT is over-stretched and government needs to intervene. In the FCT, we have riverine areas.” Senator Aliyu Wamakko, APC, Sokoto North, who also kicked against the bill, said the timing was wrong because while other states are finding it difficult to pay salaries, Lagos State that was the richest state, asking for special grant, adding that if granted, it would make other states poorer and Lagos richer. The rowdy session started when Senator Olusola Adeyeye, APC, Osun Central, in his contribution and apparently referring to what Aduda said, stated that the FCT was like a pampered and spoilt child. He demanded for 13 percent derivation on tax proceeds generated from the state, arguing that one percent was too small. Senator Adeyeye’s description of the FCT as a pampered child elicited sharp and rancorous reactions from many legislators. The statement angered Senator Aduda, who immediately asked Adeyeye to withdraw the statement. Senator Aduda had the support of most senators from the Northern part of the country who stood up demanding the withdrawal of the statement. It was at that point that the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, asked Senator Adeyeye to withdraw his statement. Adeyeye withdrew the statement but then the harm had been done, given the commotion and bitterness it caused on the floor of the Senate. It was, therefore, not surprising that the senators unanimously rejected the bill when it was put to vote by Deputy Senate President, Ekweremadu, who presided over yesterday’s plenary. Senator Adeyeye, in his contribution to the debate had said: “I rise to support most of this bill and to oppose an aspect of it. The aspect I oppose is the same aspect that James Manager attempted to highlight. But in doing so, I want to point out that…I don’t even believe that one percent is enough for Lagos. I think what we need to do is to be fair to every part of this country and to say that we must not kill the goose that lays the golden egg. And we have already from Independence and subsequent alteration to the Constitution, say whatever revenue you get from oil by the principle of derivation, a certain percentage must belong to that community. “By the same token, whatever you get from VAT, a certain percentage should belong to that community. We have among us a governor, who made a law that banned the consumption of alcohol. That’s what the people want. I supported it. He has the right to make the law. However, if my own people consume alcohol and pay VAT on it, he should not take a penny of what my people have for VAT on alcohol. “In Lagos, all of us are paying tax. And all of these VAT is taken to Abuja. What we need to do is to say whatever is good for the goose is good for the gander. If it is 13 percent for Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers for oil, let it also be 13 percent to Lagos for the VAT paid there.’’ On what he meant by FCT being pampered, Adeyeye, who is the Senate Chief Whip, while withdrawing the statement and tendering an apology said: “Mr President, you led us to Washington DC on fiscal federalism. We were told that when we see federal roads in the US, it’s federal only in name. It is federal only because the Federal Government of the US provides 80 percent of the money and the state government provides 20 percent. But all of the money is given to the Federal Government on that road.”

I AM STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE SE VOTED AGAINST THIS BILL......SOME PEOPLE SHA

WHo cares?

Who is busy shouting biafrau.d up and down like Orangutans?

When they are done with radicalisation, they can all migrate to their Gully Eroded Land and declare Biafrau.d for the 2nd time.

Nigeria survived Adaka Boro's secession, Nigeria survised Biafrau'd secession, Nigeria survived Boko Haram's Caliphate, she will survive another effort in futility to secede.

Forget the lie that no nation can survive 2 civil wars. Nigeria did - Biafrau'd and Islamic Caliphate of BH.

Ovamboland:


The Aminu Kano international Airport that has since become moribund due to many factors including demand, traffic etc is still there. I have never heard any Kano man complaining of marginalization because that airport is not patronized. There are seaports at Port Harcourt and Calabar, why are you not importing your goods through them? Which policy of SW made it mandatory for IOC's to open their HQ's there? What of private banks, who forced them to locate their HQ in Lagos? And why are many Nigerian and foreign business men opening new factories, refineries in SW? Who forced them? Learn from the leaders and you can get similar results, stop hating.

Oh I am very proud kid! Unlike you that registered today 02.06.2017, this account has been here since 2011. My other account 'austinvsb' has been on since 2010. A quick look into the post histories (i can imagine its an henious task for your brain) should show you a bit of consistency! Unlike you foools, not every nigerian is a tribal bigot! And in your warped mind, Austin is an exclusive igbo name. Ode oshi!

I stand by what i said about the bill. How you lots totally turned the bill into a yoruba vs igbo thing despite the article insinuating that the northerners were the NAY screamers is mind boggling and tells me something.... . You and your other parody accounts are online agents of the northern oligarchy tasked with always creating enmity between the 2 southern tribes whose unity is capable of destabilizing the power grip in the north! Worry not, your divide and conquer is coming to an end SOON!

Can't you see the insult coming from your Agbero senator Olusola AdeYEYE, why won't the whole house reject this bill?. His insult even angered the senators hence he was commanded to withdraw his insult and the bill was thereafter rejected.

South Eastern states are parasites like everybody else.. Anambra contributed nothing in 2016 Look at IMO , Zamfara makes just as much.. we all parasites on the Niger-Delta (the golden goose). So, STFU
