I'm curious. I'm always seeing posts about IGR. Isn't GDP or HDI the metric used around the world to compare regions. Nigeria is the only country in the world where I see people constantly brag about which state taxes the most.
I have been asking same question especially those from the west

IGR is the government stealing money from the citizens. IGR is one of the causes of inflation and escalation of the cost of consumer goods and services price increase in the country. It is another form of extortion.

Politicians live rich from IGR and the citizens get poorer.

Lol if I hear them brag about how Lagos has the highest IGR I just laugh because the it's not just about generating revenue. What about your Human Development Index?

Low standard of living, low life expectancy and low income per capita. So who is fooling who?
