💰 "They Give the Most, But Get the Least": Shehu Sani Sparks Firestorm Over Regional Contributions!
Former Senator Shehu Sani has set social media ablaze after claiming that the Southwest and South-South regions are the heavy lifters of Nigeria's economy—yet they are being shortchanged by the Federal Government.
In a bold post on his official X handle, the outspoken former Kaduna Senator and APC chieftain, Shehu Sani, addressed the elephant in the room regarding Nigeria's fiscal structure. Sani identified the Southwest and South-South as the nation's biggest financial contributors, while paradoxically noting they receive a disproportionately smaller slice of the federal pie compared to other regions.
📉 The Economic Divide: Insecurity vs. Contribution
Sani’s analysis went deeper than just numbers. He suggested that systemic disadvantages are holding other regions back, identifying the North and Southeast as lagging in contributions due to critical factors:
Persistent Insecurity: Violent conflicts disrupting trade and agriculture.
Geographic Disadvantages: Being landlocked, which limits direct access to international maritime trade.
🥊 Social Media Erupts: Fairness or Fact?
The post has ignited a fierce debate on fiscal equity and resource control.
Supporters of the Southwest and South-South have been quick to amplify Sani's point, calling for "Resource Control" or a total overhaul of the revenue sharing formula.
Critics and commentators from the North and East argue that regional contributions aren't just about cash, but also about human capital and food security, which are harder to quantify in a federal purse.
This renewed conversation touches the very soul of Nigerian federalism—questioning whether the current allocation policy encourages regional growth or simply rewards geographic disadvantage.
❓ WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
Do you agree with Shehu Sani that the regions giving the most are receiving the least? Is it time for Nigeria to adopt a revenue formula based strictly on regional contribution, or must we keep supporting landlocked and insecure areas to maintain unity? Join the debate in the comments! 👇🇳🇬💸
