I present you the details of how much was
contributed by each geopolitical zones to the
Federation Account:
1] South-South -N479 Billion.
2] North-West -N20 Billion.
3] South-West -N339 Billion.
4] North-East -N5 Billion.
5] North-Central -N15 Billion.
6] South-East - N10 Billion.
7] FCT Abuja -N 0 Billion.
8] Federal Government -N 0 Billion.
9] NCS/FIR -N 0 Billion.
10] TOTAL CONTRIBUTION: N1.6 Trillion.
The argument now is not how much was
allocated to each geopolitical zones of Nigeria or
how much was contributed by each zones, but
to know which zone(s) is at the receiving end of
our flawed unitary system. This brings us to
Contributions Versus Allocations.
1] South-South contributed N479 Billion to the
Federation Account. The zone was allocated
N285 Billion. It made a loss of N194 Billion.
2] South-West contributed N339 Billion to the
Federation Account. The zone was allocated
N127 Billion. It made a loss of N212 Billion.
3] South-East contributed N10 Billion to the
Federation Account. The zone was allocated N85
Billion. It made a gain of N75 Billion.
4] North-West contributed N20 Billion to the
Federation Account. The zone was allocated
N157 Billion. It made a gain of N137 Billion.
5] North-East contributed N5 Billion to the
Federation Account. The zone was allocated
N109 Billion. It made a gain of N104 Billion.
6] North-Central contributed N15 Billion to the
Federation Account. The zone was allocated
N105 Billion. It made a gain of N90 Billion.
We must demand for fiscal federalism

WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THIS VERY FLAWED DATA. THE SOUTHSOUTH CONTRIBUTED NOTHING LESS
THAN N8 TRILLION TO THE FEDERATION ACCOUNT.

alj harem: very good revelation

So we still have some parasites in the South

emmydeep: So you grow parasites in your farm? Thats good, no wonder your name is alh haremsite. Disappear from here fast.

homerac7: @ OP,

voodoo economists and statisticians like you must be reined-in in a straight jacket and kept in a whitewashed steel door fitted room. reason is because mis-tailored statistics bandied around like you just did with NO interpretation can cause incalculable damages beyond what your puny mind can fathom.

THE LESSON:

Please and please, the value of any (and every) statistics is in its INTERPRETATION - which your spurious conjecture lacks. Any number is plain useless without an interpretation, same with our statistics. Only mischievous or dangerously ignorant people play with numbers in the ways you just did. But if you still think you are neither as described, onus is on you to INTERPRET your figures based on facts.

TO ALL:

Please ignore this babalawo figures this guy is throwing around. It is a half-truth that are meant to capture the fancy of simple minds. Let him show us the breakdown of taxpayers along their regions of origin irrespective of places where they are living or working, and such other vital info that will help to explain the gaping imbalance in his figures. Didn't Dangote, Ishiaka Rabiu, Dantata & Sons, and many other big time importers and industrialists contribute to duties and taxes collected from south west? what about the yam sellers, onion sellers and other northern businesses that contributed to the revenue of their "host states"? what about countless Emeka chemist stores, Chukudi auto parts, Chigozie supermarket and cosmetics store, and Madam Ngozi isi-ewu joints contributing all over the nation? ...CAVEAT EMPTOR !!!

cjrane: The article has NO SOURCE!
Anyhow, isn't the best thing to allow the 6 zones to go on their own and manage their billions?

Sealeddeal: Truly South West contribute alot to federation account but could be less than the amount quoted;courtesy of Lagos.On the other hand,the amount quoted for SS is a lie;i believe SS contribute more that 2trillion annually.

geeez:


If you take away the contribution of Lagos from that of the SW, it is still higher than he contribution of the SE

ACM10:

Why do south-west clamour for one-Nigeria when they contribute so much to the federation? Aint that stupidity?
