I've always tried to restrain myself from commenting on NL and just read through comments and refrain from commenting when someone types my mind but now I have to do this.

How is banking in Nigeria controlled by Delta Igbos?

You're just a fat lair and I've been following your irritating tribalistic and nauseating comments

FYI, Yorubas own and control most of banks in Nigeria from FBN to GTBank, Heritage, FCMB, Wema and Skye. Union and UBA are struggling in my opinion and Access still has a lot of Yorubas and Edos as owners

You can only lay claims to Zenith, Diamond and Fidelity

Now regarding the lies you posted as breakdown, you can click on the link below to see that Yoruba dominated businesses as well as foreign owned ones are the main sources of Lagos' IGR.

Note that the SW got over 95% of FDIs into Nigeria last year because we've made the environment ideal for businesses to thrive.

And Ogun State currently generates over N6bn monthly from an average of N2.7bn monthly in 2013. It will take your erosion ravaged state 15yrs to catch up. Besides the state plans to generate an IGR of N10bn per month in 2015 which from all indications is possible

http://dailyindependentnig.com/2014/10/ogun-targets-n10b-monthly-igr/

And note that when Amosun became governor, the state was barely generating N730m monthly and he's still in his first term.

This was how Lagos started in 1999 and now everyone is rushing over to enjoy the benefits

it would only get worse if t a orji's stooge takes over from him.

tomakint:

This old hag is sick upstairs...but which school did this to you Gbawe. Listen and listen well old one, if Lagos generates that much and it's still like that while Akwa-Ibom with that little is pulling the strings you are here spewing garbage with your old lying mouth!

patrickmuf:
Can you please do a little comparison before you start ranting? Do a check on the population as well as the budget of each state and come back here and apologize for this obvious display of foolishness

tomakint:

Na now you remember population abi? I will not engage you in your escape route towards 'population clause' the good news is, Akwa Ibom is putting her money where her mouth is and the indigenes are benefitting from the good works of Akpabio period!

Ehyah, pele.

You know what you'll do next? Call a meeting of all the people listed above who are "controlling" the economy of Lagos, and ask them to relocate to your village so you can reap from your investments.

Mumu!

They received N168 billion from Federal Allocation and generated N384 billion which is N552 billion to finance N499 Billion budget in 2013 yet Lagos State had no surplus rather debts.

Raiders:
Another reason why I think fashola should replace GEJ. 80% of Nigeria revenue is gotten from oil and we need to diversify our revenue and rely less on oil

Gbawe:


While waste time trying to educated the old, haggard and senile illiterate? Remember they say a fool at 40 is a fool forever. What then is the bum-like Tomakint capable of learning at his present age of 65? Bro, this level is far above his head abeg. that will be comparing Akpabio with Fashola. arison is how.

Gbawe:


[s]Don't mind the dishonest urchin and ragged old fool. Senility is setting in and that is why he sees one thing when the whole World, even beyond Nigeria, sees something entirely different[/s].

Egbon I know you are annoyed, hungry, frustrated and neglected but show some signs of maturity for the sake of the young ones here Uncle

shizzleStar:
SHUT UP!

You have being jumping up and down this thread like an overfed Cameroonian frog in your vain attempt to to tag your paymaster fashole as an enigma per excellence who every other state govt should model after, forgetting that the huge IGR is made possible by the multitude of Nigerians that reside and do business in lagos while paying their taxes diligently, your veiled attempt to pass off the success as a yoruba achievement is a failed one.

Stop littering the thread with our clannish and over-bloated ego filled comments, as you can only fool the gullible with your epistles and deceptive sermons. Every sane mind knows Lagos is our commonwealth, so there is nothing extra-ordinary in lagos having a very huge IGR, so get off your high horse and stop the hyping and display of arrogance of intelectual superiority associated with you and your ilks

Now tell us, should every government also embark on 'deportation' of law abiding Nigerians from the domiciled states?

Boss13:


VERY DUMP POST.

When the high taxes start rolling in - who will be the first to complain. Our leaders are inept. All of them. Everyone applauding Fashola should go back to the archives and find out how come Lagos started implementing its tax policies. It was the rift between Obasanjo and Tinubu on Local government allocations that made Lagos to seek taxes as a way of paying Lagos state civil servants salaries. Lagos was just the same as others - receiving handouts from Federal allocation.

Our leaders has failed us in every respect. They fail to think, they fail to inspire, they also fail to implement sustainable policies to will ensure good economic development. They failed to realised that countries compete against themselves for earth's natural resources and likewise every nation's intends to strengthen their respective economies.

Oil prices can never go up again regardless of whether OPEC cuts production or not and that is a major risk to us. Whether we are diversifying our economy or not, it is a risk of loss in revenue. Since we have failed to think, now we shall reap the pains.

We have elected leaders with intestines inside their brains, a reason why we hear of stomach infrastructures.

[s]Another angry bigot. What is your business with Lagos or does your anger stem from how I have shown your brother kettykin up for his lies? It hurts right ? I.e the truth, which is very far from the lies of you shameless braggarts, being revealed to your disgrace and bellitlement? You prejudiced nonentities are so predictable[/s].

shizzleStar:
shut up!

I pay tax in lagos so i have every business with lagos. You are obviously not only angry but also frustrated. I know your wish is to have igbos leave lagos, Nigeria is our commonwealth, deal with it...you egocentric dingbat. You refer to a younger and more reasonable and sincere person as old (Tomakint), where does that leave you?

Shameless, bigoted nincompoop

Ngwakwe:
If this article is not refuted, some people will take them as fact.

168÷499/100 = 33.7% hence the percentage error in this article is

33.7 - 23.1 = 10.6

Therefore 10.6 ÷ 33.7 * 100 =

31.45 percentage error

We are talking of IGR and this ethnocentric hack is talking of "deportation". What next? You will tell us Fashola committed atrocities against you during the civil war? Spare us your bitter paranoia and face the topic if you can which is that Lagos is moving towards becoming independent and self-financing.

What a joke. A jobless hack like you pays tax? Whatever next? You own Mansions, property portfolios, private jets and 50 multinational businesses? Keep deluding your paranoid self claiming anyone wants you to leave Lagos. It is prejuidiced liars and ethnocentric braggarts like you and Kettykin folks resent not hard-working and gracious Igbos who are happy to live and let live. Mumu, abeg go and sit down somewhere.

shizzleStar:
I said it before and i repeat, you are a very big FOOL. If you were not an IDDIOTT, you would see a correlation between between size in population and IGR. Would the IGR in lagos today be achievable if your clannish and ethnocentric governor and your hate-filled ilks succeeded in deporting every tax-paying non yoruba person?

Dont mind the haggard, hypocrite and frustrated old man referring to a far younger person as old
