cstr1000:

That may also be a factor. Most of the industries there are indigenous.
Over-tax them and they may fold up, or deal with you during elections.
Anambra should focus on more export and trade-oriented IGR, instead of unnecessary taxation.
The government have not done much nationwide to help industries to then justify over-taxation.

amarabae


God bless your wisdom.

Anambra can also increase her IGR by establishing public private industries and encouraging her people to supply those industries, agricultural & natural raw materials obtained from the state.

OUT OF 10 STATEMENTS FROM OBIANO, 5 OR 6 R LIES. D REST CONTAINS SOME ELEMENTS OF TRUTH IN DEM. BUT WEN IT COMES 2 ROCHAS , OUT OF 10 STATEMENTS FROM HIM, 11 R ALL LIES N DECEIT.

Not true bro. Okorocha is a victim of conspiracy from Igbo elites who sponsor what you read about him or hear about him on radio Biafra. If you come a bit closer you will be amazed he is an exceptionally good man.

Blue3k:


You're arguing to different points. Taxing isnt over taxing. Is what you have enough? What is creative tax generation? Taxes come from people and business. (Business always passes on taxes to consumers but whatever)

If you dodge taxes that your business. I'm not the IRS. They just borrow or put tolls on road of something.

Taxation is one way of raising revenue and not the best way especially in Nigeria

Amarabae and CSTR1000 suggestions remain the best.

You can see my own suggestion above

Abagworo the old fool even imolites that are owed months of salary arrears conspired against the I.diot called Okorocha?

Even imolites that are yet to see the impact of his useless governance conspired against him when he wastes money building statues for people that does not give a Bleep in a poor state like imo where their IGR is not up to 10k/month?

The truth is that no one is interested in your useless Imo state and your fat one legged limping failure governor.

I DONT NO ANY GOOD MAN DAT USES MORE DAN 500 MILL TO BUILD A STATUE WHILE AT D SAME TIME REFUSE TO PAY PENSIONERS N OTHER WORKERS.

That's the crux of the matter. There is no statue built with 500 million and workers are not owed as alleged. They are fabrications purely conceived for character assassination. There is Ikemba Ojukwu center which houses the Imo hall of fame with several structures and statues of great Igbos and other Africans including Zuma. None of the statues is worth more than a million Naira.

Nwokem take your nonsense elsewhere, we are not interested in Imo state and it's people. Okoroawusa should take all your allocations and build statues, it doesn't concern us here in Anambra as we have nothing in common with you guys.

A whopping 500 million for one statue? Then capitalise it with over 50 statues this clownish governor built in the name of dividends of democracy in a very poor and worthless State LOL

skeptical

kettykin:


when should a performing governor release such strategic information , Obiano is a well experienced bank , most banks release earnings and promise dividends just before an public offer , same with other companies , if you are expecting the governor to release this kind of strategic information fter an election then it is you that has a problem and not the governor.

look @ this joker admitting that his worthless and scheming village governor is playing games with his future.

How ignorant and unintelligent can you people be? This joker is even equating private bank operation shenanigans and scheming with public service...

Official crookedness, scheming, deception and incompetence don turn to smartness in ipob SE villages. LWKMD


This is why you jokers are saddled with worthless and incompetent governors and zero progress and development.

Did you still need to know why you are dumb
? Read 2015 report from NBS, Ogun IGR was 17.5 billion 2014, while Anambra was 10.4 billion as at then, businesses and industries in Anambra are 98% run by indigenous people unlike your backward state were Igbos, Indians, Lebanese, Chinese, and other tribes control 98% of industrial activities.

Read 2015 report, mind you 2016 Anambra state cut taxes for Anambarians during nation economy clutch, that is the reason why the state didn't improve on IGR also was not published, Anambra low taxes to encourage and support indigenous business operators that control our economy unlike Ogun, that's why Anambra trashed Ogun on money deposited in banks for five years released by CBN, and we are low on poverty index.

11 Nigerian states record improved internal revenue in 2015

National Bureau of Statistics (NBS)


With declining global oil prices putting increasing pressure on states to explore alternative ways to shore up their revenue earnings, only 11 of Nigeria’s 36 states improved their internally generated revenue, IGR, in 2015.

The National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, in its latest IGR report on Thursday named Ogun, Anambra, Borno, Edo, Bauchi, Abia, Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger, Taraba and Sokoto as the only states that bettered their 2014 records of revenue generation performance in 2015.

The NBS, which relied on records obtained from the Joint Tax Board and states’ boards of internal revenue, said the IGR earnings in 24 other states declined from the levels attained the previous year.

Among the 24 states that performed poorly included Kwara, Imo, Bayelsa, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Ekiti, Enugu, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Lagos, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Rivers, Yobe, and Zamfara.

Ebonyi was the only state whose internally generated revenue records were not available.

Overall performance of the 36 states showed that the total IGR realised for the year dropped by 3.69 per cent, from N707.86 billion in 2014 to N682.67 billion.

Details of the respective states’ performances showed that Ogun State’s IGR records were adjudged best, with a 49.42 per cent increase, almost doubling the N17.5 billion revenue earned in 2014 to N34.6 billion.

Anambra followed closely, with its IGR rising by about 29.32 per cent from N10.45 billion in 2014 to N14.79 billion, while Borno came third with a 21.8 per cent improvement from N2.76 billion the previous year to N3.53 billion.

Anambra cut taxes in 2016 during nation financial turmoil to encourage and support our people.

Your ignorant and unintelligent rubbish and irrelevant nonsense can not alter the fact that OGUN state collects more IGR than all your ipob SE villages combined. FACT. FACT. FACT FACT FACT FACT.

Is there any developmental news coming out from abia state?

MXrap:



I think this 1.5b/m is even 2016 returns. 2017 IGR should be up to 2b/m by now.

Obiano is still the Governor 2016.
So, what was Peter Obi's figure?

1.5 Billion a month means 18 Billon naira per annum, and Lagos earn an average of N20 Billion Naira a month .Men! With all the ranting of these guys. Na wah oh!

Another ignoramus, bailout funds from FG,isn't a free gift all states must pay, add it to huge loans Ogun took from domestic and foreign banks, mind you Ogun is indebted to Anambra through bond, if they make so much IGR why asking for bailout twice to pay salaries?

Mumu!
They pay it back as deductions on their windfall from the center. A windfall thats insignificant in parity to the huge IGR.

I owe you 20naira but every month you deposit 100naira in my account. Beside, without your 100naira, on my own my business brings in 300naira every month.

Do the calculation....

Abi you need Obiano to come help you map base and do aerial photography so you can get the gist?

This is major problem with average Yoruba youth. Bailout given to your state is load not free, you guys should stop deceiving yourselves. Ogun was given 10yrs for repayment.

Bailout In 2015, a Salary loan of about N338bn was disbursed to states. The term of the loan was 20-year and the purpose of the loan was to help states facing fiscal strain meet outstanding salary obligations. Interest rates of 9% approved by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Stop arguing over what you dont know. Yoruba will always dominate any argument on any topic that can be backed with facts. We dont spread rumours, we share facts!

Look at the following report (screenshot attached) released few days ago.

1. The money shared to states from the center is a windfall. The money comes from (a) oil, (b) IGR, (c) custom fees at borders.

2. Debts owed by states (loans and bonds issued) are first deducted from their federation account, the balance is what is given to the states.

3. Salary bailout and any other bailout are loans, and are part of the deductions.

4. For a state like Ogun whose IGR is already higher than federation disbursement, the net distribution from the center, even if it was 0naira, has no real impact. Therefore Ogun State is at priviledge when it goes into debt, whether external or internal, salary bailout or city bonds, to fund urban development.

5. SE states do not (a) produce oil for export, (b) generate significant IGR, (c) have border states that remit revenues collected via customs and excise duties. These are three areas from which money is contributed to the center. Your net contribution to federation account is a deficiency.

SW has oil export, leader in IGR, leader in Custom duties.

SS is leader in oil export, it has sigificant IGR and contributes custom duties.

NC, NW and NE has no oil, insignificant IGR but high custom duties.

Our people find it difficult to pay their taxes, Anambra economy is run by indigenous people, you tax them they lament, our situation it's just like flies that perch on scrotum you need to apply wisdom to kill it they believe its their state, you tax them they go,against you during election.

Paying taxes is one thing, using the funds appropriately is another. Obiano just Peter Obi is clueless on how to generate revenue. Revenues to a state comes from economic buoyancy which is dependent on economic infrastructures... FACT. For instance, some cities here in Texas have industrial centers/business parks, etc. that are built/supported by the cities, not states but cities. For these cities, they put infrastructures in place that drives the economy. As economically buoyant as Anambra is, generating a paltry sum of N1.5 billion is very shameful. IGR shouldn't be from tax sources, states can actually invest in infrastructures and render services that generate revenues.

cstr1000:

Work with what you have. Be more creative with revenue generation instead of going the easy way of over-taxation..
Improve the infrastructure first, then you can tax me for using it.

Honestly, our governors aren't creative at all with revenue generation. They all think it's about taxes when it's not. For instance, states like CA depend on Agriculture and Silicon Valley for a bulk of their revenues. States like TX depend on Oil & Gas, Florida is Tourism, Nevada is gaming, etc. Let Anambra put infrastructures in place first and watch and see how things pick up.

obailala:
The Yeske guy may or may not be from anambra, I have no clue who he is, but basing your evidence on the fact that he referred to anambra as 'THE STATE', that is extremely daft and infact imbecillic logic.

I'm sure you certainly fall in one of the two categories I described in my earlier post; probably in the latter category. So biko puo m n'uzo kam soro ndi ishi ha dimma kpa nkata.

If this is the same person in the early days of NL, as in back in the days of Onlytruth and Eze Ndigbo of NL, as in couple of years ago known as Yeske, dude is a pure breed of Anambra state.

You have seen the economic light.


Nigerians especially Yorubas on Nairaland don't know the dangers of Taxation.

A little extra and the economy collapses.

The most annoying part is that no economists can easily predict how little that extra tax should be without it collapsing the economy.
