Eteka1:
what is the name of that local government?

Uptheante:
They receive one of the highest federal allocation in the south that's why they have enough finance to execute such gigantic & world-class projects.
You can't say the same about states like Abia, Imo, Bayelsa, Osun, & Cross Rivers which receive far less amount hence their low level of development

SHINJA:


Igbo's and hate ..

You see why other tribes don't like you guys .


God bless Southsouth and Southwest.

Babysho:


I'm not even from Akwa Ibom but I want so badly for those things to happen to this state. I only ever hear good news from there.

I pray to God and our ancestors and the motherland that something changes in the next election. Nigeria could be on the path of rapid development in the next 6-7 years.

saintkeppy:
.

Remove Bayelsa State from that list they ranked tops in terms of Federal Allocation with just 8LGAs.

Akilou:

Correction: delta received the highest while rivers have the highest IGR so rest

Topmaike007:
are you referring to this shopping mall as airport, you should be ashamed of yourself that Ebonyi is pulling this stunt from little to non Allocation compare to state that's in 1-4 in terms of Allocation from the Fg building Shopping mall calling it Airport..

God bless the salt of the nation

Akilou:
Don’t mind that guy

Uptheante:

But most communities in Bayelsa state are battling with effects of environmental degradation like oil spills, contamination of water bodies etc. They are also battling with insecurities like militancy & kidnapping.
So I believe that most of their allocation goes into tackling these issues.
Hence, they have little money left for developmental projects & empowerment programmes for their citizens even if their allocation may be higher compared to those states that lack these challenges.

frowland:


List the airport built by the south that is handed to federal government and list the airport built by the federal government in the north that is handed to the state? …… 1..2…go!

eebraa:
You typed rubbish. Which Airport did the FG build in the North?

Exjoker:
You must be very high on sambisa weed for this claim. How many airports in the North were built by FG?
You will just wake up one day and start making senseless claims just because of your hatred for the North.

Uptheante:

In the case of Delta State, most of their allocation goes into tackling insecurity hence, they have little left for developmental projects.
This is even coupled with the fact that the state is even larger & more populated than Akwa Ibom

Why are you complaining of imaginary insecurity up&down in South-South States, is there any news that we have steady insecurity issues, or is Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa giving you excuses that money mearnt for development goes to insecurity, when there's security votes(money) for all Governors nationwide?

What do you have to say about the miracle Prof. (Engr.) Babagana Umara Zulum is performing, I mean the developmental strides he has achieved in a Borno with Larger Landmass& population in the face of serious & challenging security issues??

If you were to be a leader entrusted with funds to develop or make life meaningful in your place, your excuses would have been worst than Buhari's own.

Uptheante:

But don't forget that Borno state receive massive donations from foreign NGOs (in millions of dollars), hence they have more funds than Delta State if u make the comparison.
Also, Borno state will most likely have less population to cater for ( remember that terrorism has killed much of their populace). Their allocation + foreign donations in millions of dollars coupled with their comparatively less population, definitely gives them an edge in terms of development if u compare them with Delta State. Remember that Delta State does not receive any foreign donation.

anonimi:


400 years of us blacks raiding, capturing and selling our brethren to Arabs and whites as the Jews sold Joseph (Yusuf) to the Egyptians

frowland:


This is federal airport just like Kano, Lagos and Enugu.
List an airport built by FG that will be handed back to state. Then list airport built by southern governors that will or was handed to FG. Thanks.

Ebubu:


dundee, akwa ibom monthly allocation from FG is over 30billion while Ebonyi monthly allocation is a little over 1billion.

have sense

Topmaike007:
didirin nothing will happen and moreover you should be ashamed of yourself because with the allocation Akwa ibom are receiving They should be competing with the likes of Lagos State and Abuja and not building this Plaza and calling it Terminal even Oshodi bus terminal and Lagferry terminal fine pass.

Come to Ebonyi and see schools and road built by one man no be this one wey Udom just use Black paint polish dey call road after 4 years it will be nothing to write home about .
