Idiot Emir. What is difficult in carrying your Lagos join to form ArewaOduduwaristan, live together while Biafrans and Niger Deltans go their separate ways? Hypocrites.

Eehhyaa and the Idiot that gave birth to you will say he has a son!
Hypocrite!

What is a fact? That they have headquarters in Lagos or they pay tax in Lagos?

Put it this way, they have the oil platform in the Niger delta but all their offices and headquarters are in Lagos, so most of the taxes goes to the Lagos state government. Some of the past governors of the South south try to fight against this during the Obj Era by insisting that they should relocate their offices and headquarters back to the region but only a very few did

lucianohase:
Though I believe in economy built on knowledge but Lagos wouldn't v been the way it is today without Niger delta. Present Nigeria without Niger delta but with Lagos equals economic woe. Besid es, Niger delta can v everything that Lagos has but there are things we v Lagos can't v. We Niger deltans can survive without lagos

Lagos has always been ruled by a different party from the centre except in 2015 till date. Tell me how the ND has helped Lagos?

How much does lagos state provide for nigeria every month? Useless emir biting the fingers that feed him.
A region whose resources have been sustaining this country for years.

Go to the seaports in Apapa go find out the import duties of vehicles alone and multiply them by the number of them that are cleared everyday.

2. Lagos was already a developed entity even before Nigeria's became a country and before independence.
3. Lagos as the Federal capital was confined to Lagos island and not anything beyond cater bridge. Learn some social sturdies..
4. All the industrial estates in Lagos from ikeja industrial estate to Apapa industrial estate to Mushin, Matori, and Ilupeju industrial estates that developed Lagos state and made Lagos the commercial capital of Nigeria and west Africa was built by the western region under Awolowo and these industrial estates are still responsible for major chunks of Nigerian's industrial activities, goods and services. They were not in Lagos Island or built by the FG and they were even built before independence and Nigeria as a country.
5. FG did not do anything special for Lagos and in fact, they built 3 bridges and some worthless and neglected places like the national stadium in surulere and last time I checked, the FG built bridges and airports in other states so what's special about Lagos?

Lagos is what it is today because the successive administrations took advantage of the uneven spread of development and made it what it is today.
Lagos has two ports that are functional, where as the other ports in other areas have not been given a upgrade in years by the government.
Lagos was once a federal capital with structures in place that you cannot find in any other part of the country except abuja.
So for me it would be unfair to assume that Lagos was a model state because of good leadership. make development evenly spread across the states and lets see if you can say that again about lagos.

Then why are your brothers still interested in Niger Delta? Most of the money used to build this nation comes from ND. How much does your region bring to the table? Go and sit down. you can't deceive us but you can brainwash your people.

What you are sayin is ignorant.
Go and find out about the laws governing company tax in Nigeria instead of repeting what you heard without veirfication.

The constitution in what governs how taxes are paid in Nigeria. COMPANY Taxes have NOTHING to do with where headquarters are located rather the individual taxes are what state government collects i.e PAYE based on where a worker is resident. Now how many oil workers are resident in Lagos?
The other thing is this oil companies in Nigeria are exempt from the company tax that applies to every other company in Nigeria, THERE IS A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT.

All said and done headquarters location is not fiscally beneficial to Lagos. Companies did it because it allowed them to relate to government from there.
Headquarters location is only relevant between countries internationally as far as taxation is concerned

An oil crashed everybody dey cry for naija! Sometimes too much of sense no gud

Blakjewelry:
That is what they keep saying but they wouldn't let ND region and the oil rest. The last time I checked their is port in rivers and delta why are the ports not working if the FG is sincere. Most of the oil companies are paying huge revenue to the Lagos state government monthly yet some fools will just wake up and talking rubbish

You are right. Lagos is nothing without FG policies. Virtually all oil multinationals have their HQ's dia. All other ports are not functional except Lagos port. Virtually all international flights take off from Lagos. Also FG developed the infrastructure of Lagos when it was Nigeria's capital. Lagos is over-rated.

rottenegg:

Yes! It may seem an absurdity but that's the truth. Do you have an idea of the taxes, fees, bills that are directly or indirectly billed those who engage in business importing and exporting(which is almost practically everyone indirectly). You think it's only the FG who gains via the ports? Why do you think every company has its HQ in Lagos? It's not for the bloody traffic or the serenity of Lagos. It's due to the only vibrant port in the country. Take the port out or reduce the ships coming in to maybe Calabar port or Onne port.... or like ...create a working port at Onitsha, Lagos is dead.
You have every right to disagree... but the facts are there. I don't have the numbers now on their monthly IGR but I will post them here later.

Big lie. All Ports, Airport e.t.c revenue goes to the FG. Lagos receive nothing from it, why will they take there port out? Lagos will always attract investors, no matter how you twist it.

Nigeria imports most of its food so how exactly is the North anyone's bread basked?

Is it not in the North East where they are struggling to feed people in IDP camps?

Is it not the North that has the highest incidence of malnutrition?

You people can keep spreading your myths but with every day the truth comes out.

You can't feed yourselves, not to speak of the rest of the nation.

Which food? Can you mention another food we import majorly aside rice? Where is you beans, onions, pepper, yam, grains and the rest coming from? Those that import are the doing so for production purpose but those you see in the market are majorly from the North. You may claim they are hungry or couldn't feed themselves but the truth is they are still the food basket of this country. In case you are mistaken, I'm a Yoruba guy from Oyo- what we do here is to finish our farm produce once and we fall back to the North till another season.

I do not know how many staff are in the headquarters? Do you

One thing I do know is this when Tinubu took over as governor in Lagos state in 1999 the IGR in Lagos State was 500 million Naira a month out of which was the tax paid by those workers resident in Lagos. How much of that 500 million was from oil company workers. We know that oil company workers like bank workers ,civil servants and so on cannot escape PAYE tax because it it deducted at source. Any company employee knows this

Now Lagos State is generating 20 billion. Has the number of oil workers in Lagos grown.
Also by a similar token why don't we see similar figures from those oil workers based in the oil states in the IGR of those states

I thought we were talking about Lagos somehow you have shifted to "WEST" according to you most of the "KEY" oil workers from the west based in the oil states move there money to "their own place".
What is the source of this claim?
Is Lagos the "place" of all of them. Your logic is strange since you seem to be suggesting that it is only oil workers from the west that behave like this others elsewhere do not do this?

FYI Warri is not even on the sea. The terrain of Warri and much of the Delta means that establishing a sea port for deep water vessels will cost 10 X more in the Delta that in Lagos not to mention the added cost of evacuation infrastructure through or from the creeks. I am not saying it should not be done just that from a business perspective it is very costly and business go for the so called low hanging fruit rather than climb the tree
The coastal terrain of Nigeria is mostly mangrove swamps with creeks except for Lagos and to a lesser extent Ondo and Akwa Ibom states. Will anyone go and locate a port in those places without the road network for heavy vehicles.

I mentioned that to illustrate that oil worker revenue is irrelevant . It is not the jump that is the issue. How much of the original 500 million comes from oil workers or from workers of ALL the companies headquartered in Lagos in total.

The point is oil companies being headquartered in Lagos is irrelevant fiscally

The jump was to 20 billion NOT 2 billion and the same thing DID NOT happen anywhere elsewhere.

We are talking of an increase of 3800% . all the time you make ridiculous assertions without FACTS or DATA

bro.. Before oil was discovered Lagos was the pearl of nigeria.

Infact let me ask you something.. When was oil discovered in Nigeria

The Yorubas have a saying: ti won ba n din wo alagbafo, se o ye ko kan ato'le re? The Emir made some point though, but I can say without doubt that his very people are about the least productive in Nigeria...they need the lessons more.
Now, I am a proud Nigerian of Igbo descent, it is only a deluded person that will deny the fact that hydrocarbon(not just crude oil) built the modern day Nigeria (to a large extent). We have never really had a very effective economic model, cheap oil money built Abuja and other relatively ambitious projects all over Nigeria. It was the cheapness of the oil-money that made our dunderhead leaders looked somewhat effective and made our very elementary economic formula seem buoyant. Let's not be blinded by hypocrisy and sentiment, the story of post-colonial Nigeria is the story of OIL.
