The generation of IGR is dynamic and not static.

Lagos has many problems and over population is a major one.

Most of the population in Lagos don't contribute to the IGR but are burden on the State. They will do better if they can try their luck's in other States.


So many people wrongly assume that they must be in Lagos to make it or live good lives but this is not true. There are economic opportunities in every State which we need to develop.

A 30 year-old graduate earning #100K in Niger, Ekiti, Kebbi, Ebonyi or Edo States are better than many people living in Lagos.

If you are saying most people in Lagos don't contribute to the IGR of the state is a big fat lie or maybe you don't see how LIRS aggressively harass them in the markets. Also if Oil companies relocate their HQs back to oil producing areas that would also hit Lagos as well.

Read the first line of my post you are responding to.

Generation of revenue is dynamic and not static.
Let me break it down for you in local parlance ,may be you can understand it better; water will find it's levels.





Street traders with some of them sleeping in shops, homeless people, touts and a significant number of the people you see on the streets of Lagos aren't making real contributions to the IGR of Lagos.

I repeat these people are likely to be better off if they relocate to Kwara, Osun, Nasarawa, Edo, Kogi or Akwa-Ibom States and try to replicate what they have learnt in Lagos State.

Apart from personal income taxes which every employeed adult pays, Oil Companies pay their taxes to the FG. Taxes from the ports are also paid to the FG.

Multinational companies and Corporate Nigerians, Petroleum marketing companies, Hotels, ICT coys contribute the major share of the IGR.

Bros saying most of them stay homeless is a lie and we know who the touts are. Again it is because of the high population concentration in Lagos that makes it an attractive market if 50 or 60% relocate that attractiveness would end and those multinationals would relocate to where the market is and same goes to hotels and petroleum marketing companies who by the way would relocate to where the oil is

In life, most things are really never black or white but there are often spectrum of grey in-between and everything comes with both positives and negatives.

If a sizeable portion of the population leave to other State, it will have both positives and negatives but the State will most likely be better off for it.

There are many ways that the State can generate revenues that hasn't been fully tapped. With adequate investment, Lagos can generate alot of money by investing in Water Transportation and chemical industries using raw materials from it's aquatic environment.

For instance, do you know that with good water transportation, Ondo and Delta States are 45mins and 1 hour away from Lagos?

Lagos, Ondo and Delta States can collaborate to build super modern Water Transport companies.




True Federalism will help Nigeria in so many ways.

If each State is taking care of itself without looking forward to the centre, many States will kick start economic activities that will attract and hold their population instead of every youth trooping to Lagos.
It will also help Lagos to control many of it's resources and opportunities.

They will collect his money and dump him later

For this we are in agreement. The problem is the current crop of leaders even in Lagos are not keen on pushing aggressively for true federalism

About 80% of the problems in this country are actually economic problems and most problems indeed have economic solutions.


For instance, Boko Haram and the Killer Herdsmen crisis result from decades of poor economic decisions.

Most Boko Haram members are young men between 18-40years (age of productivity) who are channelling their youthful energies in the negative direction.

What do Boko Haramists really want? What do the Killer Herdsmen really want? ...They both want to make their lives better!

Make no mistakes about it, Boko Haramism is not really about getting close to God or avoiding sins.
Many of the Boko Haram fighters can't read the Qur'an and they watch blue films, use drugs, rape and commit all kinds of sins/crimes like the rest of the people.

They have been brainwashed to believe that the 'corrupt' political system is the reason for their POVERTY and that if they fight to replace it with Islamic Gov'ts, their lives will be rossy and if they die in the process, they will be rewarded with great things in heaven including 72 virgins.
IPOB also use similar system to convince their members, supporters and sympathizers that a new country devoid of certain 'negative' tribes we have in Nigeria will solve their present predicaments.


Nigeria, like other African countries is poor because we are unable to dominate our environment (use what are available around us to make our lives better).

You are correct on that

sarrki:
Bola Tinubu is a done deal 2023

He paid the price

He’s the most qualified for the job 2023

Before you start insulting or casting aspersions on my person

Ask what your father is as doing why he’s not even contributing to your immediate community

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not the cause of your generational problem

You are validly valid

laughitall:
cuz u are from the bush

Moomoo talk... Tufieh!

danilmo:


That is what ipob miscreants want u to know, forget their blackmail and u LL see Tinubu is the needed Politician as he cut across Governance, brilliancy, leadership.

Check out pre and post Tinubu era in Lagos, u LL understand why they call him father of modern lagos

I care not

PentiumPro:



I will tell you something

There is no “big man” in Nigeria today that Tinubu has not done a favour to. Ask knowledgeable people of Nigeria

The biggest single train refinery in the world that Nigeria is looking forward to help with oil import bill savings, Tinubu secured the land.

Anytime could have secured the land, it doesn't change the fact that he has sinister intentions, it's even written on his face... Lol
