Igbos Should Have A Rethink Concerning Their IGR by desmond122(m): 8:45am On Jun 08, 2017 |
*Now who should be afraid of break-up of this country* My igbo brothers need serious rethink. As the saying goes *figure don't lie* 2016 Internally Generated Revenue(IGR) by Geopolitical Region is out for all to see. You can crosscheck the figure with NSC. 1) South-West: N404 2) South-South: N198 Billion 3) North-West: N69 Billion 4) North-Central: N54 Billion 5) South-East: N49 Billion 6) North-East: N29 Billion Breakdown: South-West Lagos: 302,425,091,964 Ogun: 72,983,120,003 Oyo: 18,879,084,132 Osun: 8,884,756,040 Ondo: 8,684,406,573 Ekiti: 2,991,041,855 Total: 414,847,500,567 South-South Rivers: 85,287,038,971 Delta: 44,057,915,472 Edo: 23,041,425,599 Akwaibom: 23,269,750,752 C/river: 14,776,808,331 Bayelsa: 7,905,458,280 Total: 198,338,397,405 North-Central Kwara: 17,253,829,559 Kogi: 9,569,124,487 Benue: 9,556,495,064 Plateau: 9,191,372,277 Nassarawa: 3,402,616,062 Niger: 5,881,584,409 Total: 54,855,021,858 North-West: Kano: 30,959,027,531 Kaduna: 17,051,864,537 Zamfara: 4,777,169,537 Sokoto: 4,545,765,527 Katsina: 5,545,900,833 Jigawa: 3,535,349,908 Kebbi: 3,132,343,261 Total: 69,547,421,134 South-East: Enugu: 14,235,512,227 Abia: 12,694,839,539 Imo: 5,871,026,976 Ebonyi: 2,342,092,225 Anambra: 14,791,175,253 Total: 49,934,646,220 North-East Bauchi: 8,677,265,878 Adamawa: 5,788,979,592 Gombe: 2,941,438,110 Yobe: 3,240,867,567 Borno: 2,675,723,063 Taraba: 5,895,538,974 Total: 29,219,813,184 Please note that economic activities in the north-east has suffered greatly from the war against Boko Haram. Another thing that is clear from this statistics is that every region in Nigeria depends on oil from the Niger Delta. It is not as if they can't work harder to survive without oil money, but if you compare what they're generating currently to what they're receiving in federation account allocation, then you would understand why they're so lazy. Another thing from the statistics is that the South-West is the only region in Nigeria that can survive right now no matter what happens in the oil industry. Funny enough, they're also the only region making the least noise and focusing completely on development. No wonder the economy of the country is controlled by individuals from that region. Another thing to point out from this statistics is that the south-east has no superiority claim over the north. It is pure wickedness for those who clamour for Biafra to watch the economy of that region suffer while they preach about what would've been if they had their pipe dream. Why have all those who are promising to make Biafra heaven on earth not coming up with those ideas to improve the IGR of the south-eastern states, so as to at least improve the living condition of the people living there? Look at Lagos, look at Ogun, look at Kano, look at Rivers State and the high IGR they all command... Igbos are one of the biggest contributors to those IGRs, not by force but by choice, and they do so by freely associating with people from those regions. But Ogun State alone generates more revenue than all the south-eastern states combined, which means that on the strength of this statistics, it is arguable that the Igbos do better by associating with other people, and will perform woefully by staying on their own. |

desmond122: Afonjas...as usual. Thinks Igbos are their mate. I have told you people several times...Igbos are not ordinary black people. Igbos know why they want Biafraa. They can never be successful under Nigerian marginalization system. All these things you raised will be fixed under Biafraa...free of Nigerian marginalization, wickedness, evil and inherent useless, corrupt and criminal system. BTW...STOP TAKING OUR MEDICINE...LEAVE US ALONE! 5 Likes 2 Shares |

We OWN your stupid IGR... You enact stupid policies to make our region unattractive, stupid leeches, God bless the Northern youths for their gutless threats, at least other Igbos who still believes in the One Nigeria will have an epiphany that these rodents are ungrateful. 1 Like |

Op you lack common sense IGR doesn't measure well being of business operators in a state, no credible body by law monitor states IGR, Ogun state with over bloated IGR still ranked low in cash deposit by states in Nigeria which CBN monitor and was clearly said it can be use to measure economic prosperity of a state, Lagos and Rivers with high IGR also ranked high in cash deposit while Ogun state ranked very low, it's governors dish out figures they choose. Six states that control 90% of busines and cash transactions transactions in Nigeria. Lagos Rivers Anambra Abia Kano Ogun FCT 1 Like
