They are supposed to have 50% ,because of deliberate concentration of,and monopoly of Federal Revenue agencies.
Why will it be only in Lagos state that Nigerians will clear their containers?

PVision2020:

Pls show us statistics for GDP olodo. GDP means gross domestic product so how you get to have the highest gross domestic product with the lowest tax returns will be a professorial project... lol.

And also their are bushes every where because they have enough lands and are not as choked up with high population density as the total SE which is about the size of Oyo state alone. That you packed yourselves like sardines in confine spaces doesn't make you more developed than places with bushes. It only shows that your development and growth is limited.

Then you talked about population.... Aren't you concern that you guys embark on mass exodus from your so called wealthy regions to the regions you tagged poorest for economic survival hence the low population of the SE?

The joke is on you... lol

Augustenite:


Bro, why the lies.

I once work in Abia, IMO and anambra states. Bro poverty for that side is immense.

Na pride go kill nna. Empty baboons.

ntyce:


Yet your people keep relocating day by day to the Southwest in search of greener pastures.

marvinsync:



of course there's poverty there , there's poverty all over Nigeria , aren't we the HQ of poverty in the world , but guy enter SW first you'll know poverty pass poverty

marvinsync:



I've sent a pic for the GDP issue

, population equals high market its basic economics and we Igbos know fully well how to take advantage of that

marvinsync:



lol we are more in the north than in the south west
does that mean the north is a greener pasture?

greener pasture is in the eye of the beholder , as bad as Nigeria is there are a lot of people that want to come here and do business


and ps how is leaving the southeast a bad thing ? is it our fault that u guys are so stupid u can't take advantage of Nigeria and limit yourselves towards a zone alone

Guestlander:


20 years? No, even before Nigeria was created.

PeterKbaba:


Before it was Yoruba's don't own Lagos,
Then it was Igbos own 80% of Lagos,
Then it was why are Yoruba always talking about Lagos, what about other Yoruba States,
Then Ogun Started picking up (IGR of Ogun = All South East States).
Now it's Yoruba's don't own 10% of Ogun State,
When Ondo comes on board, Whats Next!!!!!!!!!!!
You igbo's are very funny, jealous and very envious.

Ovamboland:


Rivers has fully functional airport and seaport plus huge oil installations and highly paid oil workers, why is the IGR far from Lagos?

ObservantFellow:


I accept your opinion. Now tell me, when did Lagos become the commercial hub of Nigeria? Or you mean to say it has never been?
I'm interested in cementing my knowledge based on your opinion.

Oblang:


Are federal revenue agencies collecting revenue for lagos state govt?

solveprob:
The only person that made sensible comment so far. Nobody asks where such huge funds go to.

UfuomaUN:


what's their respective population size?

idealogical:


Lagos - 20 million people

Rivers - 5 million

With available resources and mostly less than 5 million people to manage, Rivers and Akwa Ibom should be the most developed states in Nigeria.

allthingsgood:
Eastern states have some of the lowest igr. Yet they are the biggest noisemakers about restructuring. People that have zero assets to restructure. Lolz

idealogical:


Lagos - 20 million people

Rivers - 5 million

HarryDuce:
Population of Rivers is more than 5millon. Same can be said for many other states.

ObservantFellow:
Lagos had been the commercial hub of Nigeria for over 20 years and will continue to hold a clear lead until there is a concrete plan by the FG to at least, create a fair playing ground for other regions; e.g wholeheartedly, test run other ports. Not to discredit the efforts of LASG to take full advantage of opportunities though

7lives:


Why not tell the federal government to RELOCATE the Atlantic ocean from Lagos.

mercyville:


This is how Lagos gets its money:

Guestlander:


Quite the contrary, Lagos has always been the commercial nerve center of Nigeria. That is what I said in my post.

trapQ:
The best "state" is Abuja but you can keep deluding yourself.

nanizle:


The IGR could be more but it's still enough to deliver basic infrastructure in Lagos (when combined with federal allocation).
