Some will brand this write up “evil and a lie”, but facts and numbers don’t lie. Mathematics they say is a universal language.

LET’S SET RECORDS STRAIGHT

Out of the total of 360 House of Reps members, the entire South has 169, while the North has 191.

Here is the breakdown:

South East

Imo 10 Reps

Abia 8 Reps

Ebonyi 6 Reps

Anambra 11 Reps

Enugu 8 Reps               Total=  43.

South South

Akwa Ibom 10 Reps

Bayelsa 5 Reps

Cross River 8 Reps

Delta 10 Reps

Edo 9 Reps

Rivers 13 Reps              Total= 55 Reps.

SOUTHEAST & SOUTHSOUTH GRAND TOTAL =98 only.

South West

Osun 9 Reps                 Total = 71 Reps.

North West

Kogi 9 Reps

Kwara 6 Reps

Nassarawa 5 Reps

Plateau 8 Reps

Niger 10 Reps            Total = 49 Reps.

FCT  2 Reps.

GRAND TOTAL OF THE NORTH =191

The question is, how dare you upstage these people in a vote?

Even if Southeast, South-south, and Southwest joined together cannot upstage the North.

INJUSTICE OF OIL ALLOCATION IN NIGERIA (1)

North Central receives 20%;

CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.

North East receives 16%;

CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.

North West receives 21%;

CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.

Every month, the 19 Northern states receive a minimum of 57% of 100% of oil revenue to which they CONTRIBUTE 0.00%.

South West receives 16%;

CONTRIBUTES 3.97%.

South East receives 11.00%;

CONTRIBUTES 25.07%.

South South receives 15.00%;

CONTRIBUTES 70.64%.

More facts…

LGAs in NIGERIA:

Nigeria has 774 LGAs.

The North has 19 states, and the 19 states have 419 LGAs.

The South has 17 states, and the 17 states have 357 LGAs.

Working with the data from the office of the Accountant General as published by the Ministry of Finance (2013 April), the 357 LGAs of the 17 southern states receive 45.1% of what they contribute is 100%.

The 419 LGAs of the 19 Northern states receive 54.9% of what they contribute is 0.00%.

So those hoping for a hopeless hope for restructuring should wake up. The north will Never allow restructuring because they know that they can’t survive in a level playing ground.

Let me stop here for now…..a lot on my mind.

Now you see that the north is seriously draining and stifling the development of the south?

One Nigeria is the biggest fraud ever and MUST end.

What the people of Nigeria need is a referendum to end this evil contraption called Nigeria and the emergence of the stifled nations within.

We CAN NOT be silent about it. He that is silent in the days of the adversity of the oppressed is guiltier and has taken the side of the oppressor.
