Nnaa, I tire .

It's normal.
They must hear the truth whether they like it or not

Without the sea port and airport in Lagos, Lagos state would have been a low grade kogi state

but there is a seaport and airport in Lagos

Without tools Man would just be another Primate

Nigerians are so predictable. I knew you would make this comment.
It's all propaganda still
and yet, everyone relies on oil to pay salaries.
Who is deceiving who?

Excuse me sir, the topic is not about oil or payment of salaries and if everyone rely on oil to pay salaries ,why is the S/East performing poorly in this Statistics on IGR?

IGR is low in the SE because most Igbo people are self-employed and pay next to no tax.

IGR is low in the SE because most Igbo people are self-employed and pay next to no tax.

Unlike in less developed states where everyone works in the public sector. That's why the SW, for example, struggled during the lockdowns in 2020, because almost everyone works in the public sector. Whereas in Anambra, Obiano removed all tax payments for the entire year. Because Anambra has a private sector led economy.

IGR is just revenue derived from tax. It doesn't reflect the wellbeing of the people.

You can't be in Lagos or Kano screaming Biafra, go back to Biafra if you want a Biafra republic.

History555:
If hausas says he wants to leave nigeria no body will beg him to stay or start telling him the disadvantages.

If yorubas say they want to leave nigeria no body will beg him to stay or start telling him the disadvantages

If middle belt says the want to leave nigeria no body will beg him to stay or start telling him the disadvantages

But once lgbo man says he wants to leave nigeria everyone starts begging him, telling him the disadvantages, online media cows start opening threads wailing and lamenting, print media starts wailing, politicians in other regions start wailing.

Now you know which region is very important.

That's why 120 persons are killed in sokoto on oct 13 and no body talked about it but let one lgbo man die and you will see 39 threads, 120,000 comments on it

In the context of Nigeria, IGR means nothing, as a nation that's criminally undertaxed where most Igbo people work for themselves (as self-employed), it makes sense that the SE would have a low IGR. In the North, the overwhelming majority of its working populace, work in the public sector, that's where, I'm sure the bulk of its IGR is coming from, the same is true in the SW.

melvinjames:

You're talking about the 60s but I'm talking about now. There's no region where the SE doesn't top the immigrant population. Go and develop Biafra.

ogbeni stop talking rubbish...

Declare Biafra today and deport any igbo person you see in your God forsaken Nigeria..

You wrote out of ignorance sir.

1) IGR also include taxes collected from self-employed residents of each State.
Taxes are leveled on markets which are collected by the traders associations and added up to be remitted to their States' Gov't.



2) Who told you that almost everyone in the S/west are Gov't workers?
All the people working with Osun State Gov't for instance aren't upto 20,000 compared to a population of over 5 million residents.

Do you know the number of quarries in Osun State alone? Do you know how many tonnes of timbers & planks, Kolanuts and palm oil that leave Osun State every week, to be sold in the North?

Do you know the volume of trade along the international borders in Ogun and Oyo States?

Is it their fult that you cannot make it in Lagos and ogun but they are making it anywhere they go. I believe you are a tenant of pa chukwudi even in your own village osogbo pa chukwudi is still your landlord. U will never get a free house they must remain in osogbo on till they get their Biafra, if e dey pain u drink snipper

I know it does, that's why I pointed out that Nigeria is undertaxed, and as I said before, Igbo business owners rarely pay tax. This is not conjecture, unlike the things you've written.

Virtually every state in the SW is heavily in debt. Unlike in the SE, where even the poorest state owes very little, and that's because of the private sector, which is more developed in the SE than any of the other regions.

You keep shifting the goal posts sir.


The topic is about IGR, so how does debt come into it?

Every State in the S/west is indebted to who? According to who?
And the S/East States are not in debt? Because of private sector?

Which private sector that doesn't pay tax but somehow make their States Gov't not to be in debt?





#These your theories aren't adding up sir, cook another theory.
