What is survival if you cannot make your own money to fend for yourself except rely on another person?
All SE states rely on heavily FAAC.
Without FAAC,no existence..

Oga are you naturally stupid or daft? can't you see that Anambra was mentioned as following Rivers in the list of independent states in Nigeria. Also as you said they rely heavily perhaps it may interest you to know that Osun, Ondo and Ekiti are heavily reliant on FAAC as well.

Every state rely on FAAC , no be only Rivers .
Na the same thing wey happened to Lagos through OBJ , na im dey play out so on Rivers ..I hope Rivers take care of themselves because the Abuja men will likely work for themselves...

And as much as I'll want rivers too to work on themselves too ..

I guess there is only one way to find out for sure,total disintegration!!

Please don't be annoyed o. I have always wanted an answer to this question, does it means Igbos in all other parts of Nigeria will go back to the SE when the country disintegrates as being clamoured or what?

I just want to know

If truly this States are fiscally independent let's see how far they will fare without the monthly FAAC for a period of 12 months.
Let's see how far they will go with their IGR.

If they don't go who would build their land for them? It will they allow those who are still there to build it and probably when it's good they will likely return to get the benefits?
Is it the Akwa lbomite that will build it for them who would not relocate to his territory?

That is not what it is supposed to mean? But if Nigeria,in its envious and jealous nature wants that,igbos are not supposed to have any problem with that as long as it was a peaceful disintegration…

We have Nigerians living and doing business in neighboring countries including far away South Africa …we still have Chinese in Taiwan and Taiwanese in china doing business even after the desperation..

You have been clever with your response.

" If Nigeria in it's envious and jealous ......"
" Igbos are not supposed to have problem with that........"
" Chinese in Taiwan........"

Thanks. I have made my deductions.

But if Nigeria agrees to let igbos go today,even if it’s just the five SE states,and that the requirement will be for all igbos to relocate back to the SE,all igbos will move their investment and be in the east before march next year….

Your own conclusion. But I believe your Igbo brothers who have built massive businesses, investments and properties in all regions across the Niger are not ing you in this.

Does having properties outside your home country stop you from having your own country? Must they loose their hard work over the years because they decided to have a country? Are you saying Nigeria would not be doing business with its neighbors if it splits?….the igbo nation is greater and more important than any single igbo individual.

Governor Sim is an ant

This implyes he will be good with numbers and proper management of things


Very big kudos to him for leading by example

Good for them, they should just let go of federal allocation so others will share it.


Story

With the big contribution they bring to the table via oil earnings

With this fiscal discipline
Rivers State can go better in development growth putting a lot of resources to curtain age modern infrastructure of the future


Good financial footing is good for any State or institution

America, China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore etc are what they are today because of cash made available for infrastructural Development

Abeg oo 🙏 my hand no dey am oo

Actually I know that Gov Sim was a practicing ant till he was drafted in for Rivers State governorship election

Our Baba has been out of practice for decades
Maybe that's the reason

Coming from a Management background I have known sound ants to be very good with numbers, structuring and aligning Things very well

That's not a reason 4 him to bastarzie Nigerian economy

He is simply clueless and incompetent

But to be honest

I still am surprised at how the economy really went

Because he actually added a lot of value to Lagos

Personally I blame Buhari and Emefiele for how things turned out

The only blame I have for the present government is that they shouldn't have announced subsidy removal from Day 1 and CBN monetary policy

These 2 issues messed the economy up

They should have been introduced gradually

The sudden immediate introduction summersaulted and exacerbated the whole issues

Let me see how the whole issue will be by 2026 to know whether they can reverse the whole wahala


But presently we have never had it like this

The ordinary Man is going through tough times
Even big Men are not exempted
It touched all things

Stop falling for that propaganda.

He did nothing reasonable in Lagos.
Tinubu is a total failure.
