atlwireles: Numbers don't lie. I hope we never hear any kind of internet propaganda on IGRs on this forum anymore. Delta no dey carry last

ndu_chucks: Those are CBN numbers and they are not in conflict with your statement about lagos state.

atlwireles: You should be ashamed of yourself.

Abuja — Lagos and surprisingly Sokoto are the leading states in relative "fiscal independence" measured by internally generated revenue (IGR) as a percentage of total revenue.

Whereas Lagos' position has been well known over the years, the traditional assumption that one of Kano, Rivers and Delta States is second to Lagos is not supported by facts. Lagos powered home with 63.5 per cent in 2008, up from 51.2 per cent it scored the previous year.

[s]I am not disputing your numbers. I am simply adding that Lagos and Sokoto are the leading states in relative "fiscal independence" measured by internally generated revenue (IGR) as a percentage of total revenue. What is shameful about this, it is simply a fact that is indisputable.

Abi you are a slowpoke ni?

atlwireles: [/s]

Those are not my numbers. The slowpoke here are people like you ashamed to face the truth, you have to find ways to undermine it.

Sloan:

He is merely giving you a broader interpretation of the numbers you posted or are you a dumb ass, as per his question? Delta is not last, at least they are still ahead of Anambra but the IGR as a % of total revenue shows that Delta is not 8 actually but almost down in the dumps! It must really suck when more brilliant people take your own weapon and use it to put you to flight! LMAO!

The guy is very very slow..

, Keep it coming, how about Osun.

dayokanu:

Osun generates more IGR than Anambra which is good news

kettykin: What i see in the 2 different data sets e CBN and from the office of Statistics is abrazen barefaced attempt by northerner in the person of Sanusi Lamido to push up Northerner figures like the case of sokoto, where would sokoto generate N83.2 B from while allocating moderate figures to kaduna and kano which does not fit .

Comparing it with figures from NBS we see the yomi kale led team giving yoruba states moderate figures with Oyo doing better than expected while Abia state data was ominously avoided in what i am beginning to realise is a deliberate ommission by some fellow suffering from igbo inferiority complex and phobia.

Bringing the 2 data sets together and plugging the missing data from Abia state into yomi kales data set, I get the picture of an emerging fast growing economy led by lagos state followed by Rivers, Delta, Abia , Akwa Ibom, Ogun , Edo, kano, kaduna.
Surprisingly Anambra the giant of the rising sun seems to be the missing out state in the 2 data set could be that the IGR is not taken seriously by the state government
I it be a possible case of low taxes for businesses
Abia seems to be the joker in the report from CBN while Edo, Ebonyi and Enugu seems to be the gold mine in NBS data

Randerl: I nw declare the thread officially Open to e-Tantrums and e-Whining

iterator25: The war to be the biggest economy in Africa has just begun

pazienza:

The biggest economy or the most taxed people. Government in Nigeria is a failure, i'd rather have my money to myself to manage than be taxed to death by looting elites, only to come to internet and start beating my chest at IGR figures that doesn't reflect on people's standard of living or well being.
