No government has divided this country in tribal and religious lines like this.

It's not entirely Jonathan fault ...the Ibos have contributed largely to that division.

The same thing that the late Sardauna and Akintola said about them generations ago....they are repeating it because they are very close to the corridor of power.

Even the Ijaws that own Jonathan are not this hateful..and more accommodating to criticism of the administration..unlike the Ibos.

The companies came to lagos as a result of lagos being the capital of nigeria with the view of being closer to regulatory bodies set up by the government.
The igbo business men and traders are there because of access to the deep sea port in apapa where they're required to clear their goods because of absence of deep sea port in the Niger delta and uncompletion of the onitsha ports ..
All that is changing with 2 deep sea port in Niger delta in onitsha , large scale infrastructure investment in the east, international airport, independent power projects, large shopping malls large scale industrial cities, relocation of regulatory bodies to abuja , relocation of LNG to port Harcourt and the future relocation of oil companies to Niger delta

If these companies came to Lagos because it was the country's capital, why was the HQs of Nafcon not in Lagos but Onne in Rivers State?

Awe You Poor Thing. I See Someone Here Is Mistaking Ibadan For Oshimili. Ndo Ooo, Damn What A Terrible Place You Grew Up In. Men Ibadan Sucks. I Pity Those From There. Now I Know Why You So Desperately Claim Delta In Which You're not Part Of. Damn.

Why can't you come with fact(s) to prove I'm lying? Asaba is the same with the SE in terms of lack of water. They both have red earth (sand) which makes them look dirty. To my peeps from other parts of the country, when it is January the trademark of Igbo people, whether Delta or SE, will be in their shoes and the weels of their vehicles. They are always red. They return to other parts of the country with heap of dirty cloths because no water to wash. Their streams are muddy.

How does telling the truth with hard facts and analysis translate to hatred, the fact is that lagos is running on borrowed legs and the real owner of the legs (Niger Delta) has woken up from its slumber and is coming for its legs

Did Lagos beg Nigeria to give it the borrowed legs, uhn?

Is Lagos responsible for making your SE caves inhabitable, uhn?

Was it the Yorubas in Lagos that coersed oil companies to relocate all from their bases in SS to avoid facing prolonged kidnapping, robbery, etc, uhn?

Was Lagos responsible for making your SE states undeveloped?

....

Look, Yell "Lagos" from now till eternity, those Lagos (Yorubas) is meant for will be meant for them till Jesus comes.!!!

Its just its only pitiable you Iboes, each day you wake from your beds, cant help but look at the place get BETTER & BETTER WITH ITS FAMILY STATES IN SW right IN YOUR EYES.......but MORE PITIABLE & WORSE that you cant just get any sense of belonging from the natives. !!!

What should be your major concern is how long Lagos Economy can continue running on the stolen legs of Niger Delta

how can u claim you are educated,your words are stewpid and naive,do you honestly think Delta and Enugu would develop as much as Lagos if the capital of Nigera was moved there,Lagos is called the Center of Excellence and the Comercial Capital of the nation for a reason.try to remove tribalism from the way u think cos it would hinder ur growth alot,even if they build seaport in all south east state,IGR of Lagos would still surpass it all and when did Rivers state turn into an igbo land,rather than to work on the states u have u are looking for a new state to give ur region a new image

As Much As You All Try To Derail The Topic, The Fact Still Remains, Despite All That Fake IGR You All Paraded Around For Awhile, Real Stats From The Federal Government Shows That Delta That's Gone Through Alot of Inward Fights Is Still Outdoing Una. Even SE That Started From Square One Is Neck To Neck With Una. What A Damn Shame Yet These Are The People That Desperately Want To Control Other Regions Using APC. I Think I Speak For All When I Say If You Guys Cannot Even Manage Your Region, How The F2k Una Plan To Manage Others?

If lagos was never the capital of Nigeria the lagos economy would not be up to Edo state economy, lagos would have ended up worse than a fishing community and would not have sustained state hood, but alas lagos became the federal capital and was built by all nigerians.
Would Abuja have amounted to any thing if not for its federal capital status?

Even the South East states as they are today 43 years after been flattened during the uncivil war are very much developed and better than any south west state that has never experienced invasion, war or destruction the exception of lagos state
You only need to know about the land use act and other quasi and superficially dubious decrees made after the civil war to understand how Niger delta foolishly lost their oil revenues and oil companies to lagos all in the name of one nigeria

Your plan is to derail this thread. who busted it? how? what parameters did they use? common sense should tell you, Southwest has the largest tertiary institutions in Nigeria. 60% of all the tertiary schools in Nigeria are owned by the yorubas, hence, for every single higher institution in southwest, 70% of yoruba indegenes are being admitted not only that figure out their GPs and compare with your glorified high schools you called universities.

what you people fail to understand is that, as a yoruba, we are supposed to defend every inch of our territory. no yoruba claims Lagos but they defend it cos its their own. same as other western states. I can say am from Oyo in the palace of Alaafin, can you Igbo say that in the palace of Alaafin if you won't be beheaded?

So on point! Ibos get mad because Yorubas tell them straight that because Nigeria allows them access to Lagos or any of our lands does not mean they will ever own a square cm of it! My dad is from Ife Ooye and mum is from Oyo Alaafin and with my Yoruba brothers, I will defend Lagos to the hilt until the last ibo land thief is put to the sword, we will defend it to the last man and we will defend it from the front starting in Asaba, from just after the Niger bridge so thieves and vagabonds have no foot hold even in the Mid West! We will defend our lands from the front as far as Ore and will patrol our borders with the meanest of machines and destructive weapons, and every land grabber will be turned back without visa at our border post in the most outlying parts of Western Nigeria.

Ibos are doing the same only they are defending their lands with tribalism, xenophobia and discrimination so none ibos will never even have any desire to go there and live! Their land is small, red earthed which makes it unattractive already but by the time you consider their unfriendliness and racism and how you could end up in a pot of soup to be eaten for lunch, you will do yourself a lot of good by just moving to Borni state or Sokoto state. That is why even their own ibos spend as little time as possible in Iboland and go quickly before they end up in another man's stomach!

Working with your figures:

PAYE...mostly from personal income tax of oil workers.....42.565 billion 93.34%

Others sources ( From other levies on oil related coys) ... 2.653 billion 5.82%

Direct assessment ( on what ?). .123billion. 0.30%

Road taxes. ( thugs setting up road blocks). .244billion. 0.54%

Total. 45.585billion

It clearly established that you are just showboating over nothing here...as the bulk of the IGR comes from oil and allied services and not from the ingenuity of the state internal revenue officials...

I can showboat all day long. My question remains, how can small delta overran Oyo, Ogun,Osun, Ondo and Ekiti in IGR. What you see from the Paye tax is more people working abi. Where is this industrialization noise in the southwest how come the numbers from your region minus Lagos don't show payroll effects.
Also, if you look at the Rivers and Lagos numbers, paye accounts for a very higher percentage.
