If you are so rich why are you scared of us leaving.

Since we are poor let us go in peace, abi una want poor people?

EMMAACHILE:

Imagine all this IGR and Lagos still looks a big slum in many areas.
The question should not be about IGR. Is Lagos/south-west standard of living better the south-south or south-east cities? I saw someone saying he and her landlady still uses Generator overnight from 7pm to 6am in Lagos and some of them are here glorifying IGR. Smh

Jiang:


I know you are from the south east, But remember if this figure was the opposite, You guys won't let people rest with Igbo amaka! & calling northerners Alm#jiri next level of suffering & Yorubas Af#nja slaves, You guys started this crap & now you are changing the time because it does not favor you?

franchasng:
It is so shameful that Nigerian youths don't understand what IGR is and how it comes about, you think Tinubu or Fashola or Ambode manufactured the Lagos IGR from their anus ba So bad. You should be more concerned with how the huge billions of Lagos IGR is managed and what it is used to do, not celebrating the figure which comes from Federal government's policies that made Lagos + all Nigerians' + foreigners' efforts.

Lagos is the economy heart and commercial center of Nigeria. It is federal governmemt policies that made it so since 1914, not Tinubu, not Ambode, not Fashola. Divide Nigeria today and Lagos will fall back to its real value.

...and for those that find it easy to say Igbos should leave their region, you know it is not possible so long as Nigeria remains one nation. Nobody has the right to do that. You will only end up causing chaos, riots, bloodshed and maybe ethnic clash in your land. If you truly want Igbos to leave your region without fight, then work with Hausa-Fulani and grant Igbos freedom to go form their own country as they have been agitating for, and then use your new nation's policies to make it impossible for any Igbo man or woman to come to your new country to live or do business and that's the only way to achieve it not by screaming & cursing online and attacking few women & unarmed people offline, because you will end up making Yoruba land unsafe and volatile to ethnic attacks and uprising. To make Igbos leave, divide Nigeria, allow Igbos to go form their own country in peace, it is that simple...so long as Nigeria remains one, any Nigerian have the constitutional right to live anywhere he or she likes in any part of Nigeria, it is his/her constitution right, not a privilege, it is clear and simple

Now, back to Lagos IGR, Nigeria with over 180 million population depend on importation and 90% of Nigeria's importation come through Lagos seaport. Why not make Calabar and Rivers seaports 100% functional and maybe make Onitsha seaport too functional and watch out the results after 5 years

Go to Oshodi-Apapa expressway, tankers, trailers and heavy duty trucks have blocked the road, close to 5000 or more trucks park there daily waiting to load DPK, PMS, AGO or carry containers from apapa seaport and these trucks pay NGN75,000 per day to Lagos state government for parking on the road to load.


Because of the federal government policies since 1914 Lagos became Nigeria's capital, most of Nigeria's commercial activities take place in Lagos and with the Lagos seaport taking 90% or more of Nigeria's import, majority of Nigerians and foreigners reside in Lagos to ease business transaction and lower operational cost of doing business and running their companies hence the reason you have the major Nigerian markets and trade centers in Lagos; namely Alaba Intl market, Computer village market, Trade Fair & Balogun markets, Ladipo Intl spare parts market, Lagos Island market.

The IGR Lagos generates from these markets alone is enough to fund most countries in Africa.

Now you go to industries who because of the need to reduce cost of running their industries and firms, have cited their industries in Lagos since most of their raw materials and machineries will come into Nigeria through Lagos seaports and also since majority of Nigerians come to Lagos to reside to also make doing business easy for them, thereby making Lagos have overpopulation, it is normal for industries to cite their plants and offices in Lagos and neighboring Ogun state for those that couldn't secure huge land in Lagos, Ogun is closest to Lagos, so the tax levies Lagos and Ogun state generate from these industries and companies runs in billions.

Now talk about shops, commercial transport operators who also operate in Lagos due to the overpopulation in Lagos, they also pay huge tax and levies to Lagos and Ogun governments.

I personally paid nothing less than NGN150,000 this year for my Lagos offices to Lagos state revenue collectors.

So my dear Yorubas, stop being myopic and tribalistic, I am sure you all know these truths but just trying to attack Igbos with every slightest opportunity yet you same people will attack and criticize Igbos when they make move to separate from Nigeria and form their own country.

If Nigeria divides, and Calabar, Rivers and Onitsha seaports begin to function fully, believe me, the population in Lagos will reduce with time and then, you guys will understand the great role the people you hate so much played in making your region a booming economy region but for now, you guys can continue to masturbate on it, but the wise and knowledgeable ones among you know the truth and that is why they fight and condemn Igbos anytime they make move to separate from Nigeria because they know without Igbos in Nigeria, Nigeria is doomed if not, tell me why you can't let them go their way in peace

Tell me why you can't let your enemy leave you so you can have peace of mind You all know the truth but continue, it will never last forever, Nigeria sure have expiry date and when the time comes, nobody can stop it, nobody! It is not possible for Nigeria to remain one nation forever because there is no common love, no common unity, no common goal, each tribe see the other as rival and each tribe mock the other with their progress, so Nigeria can never stand as one nation for too long, the breakup time is fast approaching with the renewed envy, hatred, disunity and stupidity of the younger generation and internet/social media will help to accelerate the break up of Nigeria!

Great!

I have always trusted the Lagos Financial Management Team from
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu who is an astute chartered accountant
to Babatunde Fasola and now Akinwunmi Ambode another chartered
accountant and administrator.

Lagos is definitely in SAFE HANDS with Governor elect, Babajide Sanwo-Olu
and his deputy on the way to making the state the 3rd largest economy
in Africa fro the 5th position she occupies right now.

Ogun and Oyo States need to take advantage of the closeness to Lagos
to rev up their own IGR as well.


Ipinle Eko o ni baje!

skales67:


SE: Terrazo Roofing or aluminum roofing... Business Acumen

SW: Brown rusted zinc sheets from the 70's...Skull mining, money rituals, online begging

No wonder they call Igbo's Igbos at any slightest thing. Eating grinded yam peelings meant for goats in the SE.

Poor omoluabeasts

winterfell007:


IGR is not the only way one can use to determine the viability of a state. I guarantee you that a state like Anambra and Abia can raise as much as taxes Kano and Kaduna did,but we chose to relax the taxes as a result of the recession so as to bolster the effiency of the SME and keep them growing. Never for a second think the southeast is poor, they aren't.
The wealth and viability of state is hinged creating wealth for themselves with help of Govt. stimulus packages.
Here's a link to prove my assertions:

those slums are occupied by economic refugees from south east.

they are running from poverty in south east and putting pressure on lagos infrastructure.
if they contibute taxes, lagos would be better than new york now. but atlast, what do fanyogo and gala seller have to contribute to lagos?


bring poverty index, you will still see that south east is below the ladder in entire south.

You're dumb. The revenue from the Lagos seaport goes to the FG.

The question should be what is the LASG govt doing with nearly 1 billion dollars generated that Lagos has no roads, or even housing for low income earners. My brother focus on the ball leave ipob, if Enugu with leads than 8 billion annually could have better roads than Lagos, then Lagos need to start asking question of what their IGR is being used for.
