obonujoker: Only Efiks can get employed through this loophole. There are more ethnic groups (totally different) in Cross River than Akwa Ibom. Even the Efiks can be detected if the recruitment process is thorough. |

This bill would be counterproductive It'll deepen tribalism across board and also Aks government should remember that their indigenes are elsewhere outside Akwaibom working. If they should implement it, other states will follow suit and kick out their people. Most companies might avoid coming to Akwaibom to invest because of this law. The government should reconsider.... Instead the people should grab the indirect opportunities created by investors entering the state to their advantage rather than waiting for undue entitlements which will NEVER come 5 Likes 1 Share |

This is a stûpid bill. What if the indigenes lack the experience which is obviously the most important for most companies? That means extra cost in training while the government doesn't provide any incentive for the companies. If i were an investor because of this bill i will stay clear from Akwa Ibom and just invest in the neighboring state like Calabar instead. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

speedyGonzales:Just look at the way your brain is working in reverse. ... "In UK to hire a foreigner...." Foreigner in that your statement means what? People from the country or people from outside the country? So someone that moved from Portharcourt or Calabar to Akwa ibom is now a foreigner. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

This will not be successful because such laws fall under the Exclusive List, i.e. only the FG can make such law. Besides, this will create tribalism, favoritism and nepotism. Do not compare this law to the one in the UK. The UK does not discriminate among their citizens. The UK comprises four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Island. Any person from any of these four countries is treated equally in all respect. I have lived in the UK for more than 15 years now and have not filled a form where I am asked of 'my state of origin'. They always ask your place of birth only, and how long you have lived in your current address. Owing to the foregoing, I will not support the proposition of the current law in Nigeria except it discriminates against foreigners. 2 Likes |

UncleJudax:I wish I have the time to illustrate the effect of this bill(law), check my previous post, I have issues with it as a law, but no issues if the state makes it a policy. On the issue of language, maybe because I'm yoruba(cultural biased), I see nothing wrong with it, however, my sis was a victim of lasu discrimination system, but we moved on, and she got a better offer in a fed sch through de. This bill if passed into law wont have much effect on other states compared to akwaibom, do you know company might reduce the standard wage compared to what they pay their staff in other states and akwaibom cant do anything about it? Do you know they can operate from neighbouring state and just have skeletal office in akwaibom, this will reduce the igr of the state in respect to PAYE tax? Do you know company might force akwaibomites on their payrol to relocate back to akwaibom without providing necessary facilities nor care for the person family. Our lawmakers(states and fg) should always think through their actions before making decisions, it's a pity most of them boast of going to law school, yet, lacks logical reasoning 2 Likes |

Nonsense The senior slot for Nigerians from other states will be affected and not the expartiates. Junior staffs don’t need expatriates so they will also sack Nigerians from other states to give way for akwaibom indigene. It’s a war of akwaibom against the igbos and Yorubas, especially the igbos who are well know to migrate. This bill should be condemned by all well meaning Nigerians and let jobs for indigene be judge by merit. Imagine if Lagos passes this law for all Lagos indigenes? |

UncleJudax:Leave the hypocrites. I remember them screaming, Lagos is yoruba and yoruba is Lagos, others can go to hell! Forgetting that Lagos was once an FCT hence the entire nation pulled their resources to make Lagos work!. What's most hurtful about that dammed law was that it compelled ALL schools!(private and public). If Ambode is not part of Nigerias disunity then i wonder Who is! 3 Likes 1 Share |
