Benue?

Where is Warri state there This is pure rigging!!

Where's Kano State for crying out loud?

The northern states are just
parasitic passengers on this
political contraption aka Nigeria..

That is why they are afraid of
a breakup, because in poverty, there will be
no difference between Niger republic
& Sultanate Of Arewa .

How OGUN State not in the top 5 still a mystery to me

AustineJohn908:
@ #MARSMAN can you see and read this?.

Do you see Oyo or any of your SW states ahead of Akwa ibom except Lagos?
This one is from The NBS o and it controlled by a Yoruba man I think

Check the list domdom illiterate monkey

So Enugu or Anambra belongs to South West because both are on the list. Ode

BeLookingIDIOT:
One South East state have finally entired top 10 at last. Shameless people.

Top Ten 10 States In Nigeria In Terms Of IGR In Last Quarter Of 2020

[/b] Akwa Ibom moves from 10th to 5th position[b]

Rivers State replaces Lagos as the new king on the block..

Apart from the monthly allocations received from the federal government, states in Nigeria also meet their financial needs from Internally Generated Revenues (IGR), that is, the revenues they generated in their respective territories

While some states with strong economic power have huge internally generated revenues to meet their needs, others have low revenues which make it difficult for them to meet their needs without the federal allocations.

A report by BudgIT Nigeria, a civic tech organisation, raising the standards of transparency, citizen engagement and accountability in public finance, shows the top 10 states with the highest revenues in 2019.

The topic of the thread is misleading. NBS report says the most improved States based on year on year that is improvement in total internally generated revenue in 2019 compared to 2020

IGBOSON1:


I find it incredulous that Rivers State collected more IGR than Lagos for the period under review!

In other words you are saying Lagos taxes went into private pockets instead of where we all can see.

That rivers state money na county money for America


Make una dey get shame abeg

IGBOSON1:

The same way i find it difficult to believe that the poor Osun state i knew dusted Oyo, Ogun ane even the two oil producing area states of Ondo and Delta. Infact, i'm amazed.

Mikehot:
You won't find quota people dominantly in this news.

In other news it is rumoured that Tanko son is now the one acting as cjn for his father like it's a jihad throne

they wont o but they will be there telling Biafrans about the large northern market that they will lose if they get freedom. Why can't the same population that wins them elections generate revenue for them? Where is niger state that is bigger than the whole se ? Why is two erosion states on this list while most of these non landlocked , 3 internatinal border states could not make the list?

BeLookingIDIOT:

you are blind? what's about anambra?!!!! You have nothing to say!!!

But all of you will accuse Lagos of siphoning money, but we are all quiet about Rivers State. Hypocrites everywhere.

Harrynight:

same here o i wonder where all the igr that is bigger than the 5se states

BeLookingIDIOT:

You should be ashamed of your zone. Despite southeast is the zone that received lowest federal allocation,yet two states from the side made it to top 10........
Am sure you should be the most shameless person in the whole world for posting this rubbish.

What is Osun State doing there?


Taah comot here with this fake list.


Osogbo wey be headquarters of begging, sometimes I wonder if those guys do shuttle between Lagos and Osun.

Where is Ogun state?

Even Benue sef i no gree

Chukwudubem0:
Zamfara?

I no gree

raker300:
IGR is revenue gotten from taxing a people.

These states are states that tax their citizens the most.

This is not a measure of growth.

GDP on the other hand is money gotten from goods/services sold..it’s a better measure of development owing to the fact more businesses/more money.

that's why Akwa ibom state is on that list cos majority of it's citizens are shuttle bus drivers and Keke drivers and a tax force team set to daily tax them heavily.
like you rightly said, this isn't a measure of growth.

Rivers and Co can do better if the fiscal regime used in ur citations are used here. Though there is a lot of room for improvement, it's just that we have visionless leaders else things would have been far better than it is today.

Accept his challenge or STFU

aribisala0:


So. Only. Anambra hides IGR in your logical world?
Or Anambra is the best hider?


Think before vomiting

nsiba:
So Ogun and Oyo no smell Osun state, when Dele de tell me say both governors are nothing but criminal I think say na joke

When I saw the topic, I definitely knew Ogun will not be there even though it has always been between 1-4 If not 1-3 sef. Unfortunately we now have a governor who seems unconcerned and unbothered with anything governance. Honestly, Ogun state has enter one chance

North 2 states
Middle Belt 2 States
Southwest 2 states
South East 2 states
South South 2 states

Total 10states of the federation!

Cashsteady:
How TF is benue on that list? Benue state in general is a completely useless state as big as the state is half of their people have already ran to south west due to the high rate of poverty and insecurity in that state.. the town where I live the Yorubas are competing with benue people in population.ijebu ode to be precise

You speak the truth but is bitter!
Ijebu-Ode should have been another great city but greediness of Politicians.
In fact,it should have been competing with Abeokuta.

LegendHero:


You people online are fond of saying rubbish.

If you can show me what Abia state and Benue Governor have done in the past 1 year more than Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State I will deactivate my Nairaland account.

Are you game?

That guy you quoted is a well-known Amosun fanboy who still resents the emergence of Dapo Abiodun over Amosun's candidate, therefore his bitterness never allows him to see anything positive about Dapo Abiodun's administration. His bitterness is personal and political and certainly not grounded in reality.

fxdee:
.. The report almost first confused me too. How can Rivers over take Lagos in igr?.. I m not sure any state ve the capacity yet to over take Lagos in igr in the next 20yrs..what Lagos made in land use charge alone pass the total igr of many states and they also ve the best structure in place for efficient tax collection.

Propaganda isnt posted to inform but to influence perception of reality. Lagos IGR is double rivers igr last time I checked.

RUBBISH

This is how fulani terrorist government has been extorting from us through their political slaves called governors

They are using the same revenues from our land to purchasing weapons to massacring unarmed innocent people of the land.


This must be the last revenues from our land to nigeria fulani terrorist forces

Some people will read what you typed and be impressed.

Tax their citizens the most? Wow! Do you even understand how tax works in Nigeria?

marsman:

You are not smart, i can now see that, what you are quoting is a year on year improvement,meaning there difference from last years own
The report clearly said Year on Year most improved and an intelligent person should know they are comparing the growth of those states relative to the past year growth.

U r correct, just the increase YoY. The total should still be Lagos.
