Stay in your region, add value to it and stop unhealthy crying. Pikin fail exam, you dey talk say hin handwriting fine. No one is requesting you to cry.

-Python amaka

You can say that only when every other Nigerian stays in his/her own region. Do you know how many Yorubas are in other regions?

Lifestone:
The issue here is completely an economic one. But rather than speaking to the point and suggest options that can help leadership of the States in South East to address it, you have gone tribal and defensive. The report was to agitate Governors in SE to sit up and reduce their continuous reliance on Abuja for monthly allocations for survival. The same holds for other regions. There are so much to do.

You cannot get tax payers from nowhere. It is a matter of mathematics. Fewer states, low population, low taxation, low IGR. How does that not make sense to you?. Still, Igbos are less affected by poverty in a country with 90% poverty rate.

Gbam! So on point. Don't mind these children e.g. sarrki. they go about trying in futility to ridicule ndigbo.

It's that simple, really.

Re: South East (SE) had the lowest IGR in 2018

It appears that the IQ of the average Nigerian is very low. Hence, I read of and see scorn for the SE by others for having the lowest IGR in 2018

But a deeper look would have shown that things are not as straightforward as they seem. IGR is a function of taxing paying. And it is human beings that pay tax. Now, here are the simple issues that should be of concern:

1. Does the SE have low IGR historically? In essence, has there been a trend in the past years that warrants this becoming a sustained fact? If yes, is that linked to population change trend in the zone?
2. What is the population of SE?
3. What is the population of other zones with higher IGR than SE?
4. When the IGR of SE is divided by the population of SE, you get an idea of average IGR per person. How does it compare to that of other zones?
5. If SE has the lowest population and correspondingly lowest IGR why should there be any surprise?
6. How many people of SE origin live in other zones and how much do they contribute to the IGR of those zones?
7. Can you live in Jamaica on a permanent basis and still contribute to the IGR of Cameroon?

Evidently, the average Nigerian, especially those on Nairaland, has little ability to reason deeply. No intelligent argument or thought process for the most part. Shame!!!!

PS: most importantly when the Feds have established the habit of taking every development to other zones and none to the SE, how are you supposed to create the pool of taxing payers in the SE zone? Most Igbos are self-surviving individuals and it is human nature that self-surviving individuals will not readily give their money to the govt as taxes.

Again, don't forget, SE has only 5 States; others have 6 and even 7. IGR is directly linked to population. You cannot levy on one person two person's taxes - it's always one man one tax. Therefore, SE will always be lower in IGR, given its lower population. Hey! Don't forget that SE is not the parasite in chief in Nigeria. They receive the lowest monthly allocation from the federal government based on lowest population. In life you cannot eat your cake and have it. You cannot give SE lowest allocation based on population and expect higher IGR based on same population.

Does it make any sense to you all with low IQ now?
Who is deceiving who here?

Arda1000:
which other one?

You said you saw two Biafran names. I see only one. So I am asking you the other Biafran name you saw.

The thousands of buyers currently risking 100 per cent mortgages and borrowing up to five times their salary could be plunged deep into negative equity

Please what does the bolded mean? Does it mean 100% mortgage interest? If so, wow! That is complete rip off by the lenders.

See his Afonja face

tolijascro:
As he been found guilty already?

Not officially found guilty yet. But the charges against him are serious and it appears that there is enough forensic, cell phone, and human witness evidences to nail him. He should be in court by Monday, or sometime later this week.

Everybody is a doctor in Nigeria. Fake people, fake country

Those with actual MD degrees, or those with the revered PhD don suffer taya for Naija, as their efforts are thrown into the garbage by these fake honorary PhDs

"Someone please watch and gimme the summary,I dont have data to waste".. - if you're a member of this crew, please gather here..

My own summary is that this is crappy mysic. Motigbona, Poverty Die, and to a lesser extent, You go Love Lagos are the only songs of Olamide that are worth any hype. Motigbona is actually one of the best songs from Nigeria in recent years.

Arda1000:
Two Biafran names is what am seeing

Really? What is the other one?

I saw this piece of document somewhere and could not stop wondering: A Nigerian name in the midst of foreign names of panelists in a very unlikely geographical location.

You look right, left and center, and all you see is Igbo, Igbo and more Igbo. O bu gini na eme? Ki lo sele?

This is Igboland Nigeria. Enugu to be precise. We are getting there.

Yoruba analog drug traffickers

lilwetdick:
the op is an illitrate.

Another mumu. Why not challenge the OP more intelligibly by showing any public elementary school in Nigeria whose principal or headmaster is a PhD holder.

lilwetdick:
pls just shut up....phd holders are also principals of secondary schools in nigeria.

So stop hyping nonsense

5th Grade is elementary school, not secondary school. Did you at all read b4 posting? Indeed, so many fools on NL

Congrats. from Ndi Igbo to Umu Ndi-Igbo. Blazing the trail

That's not Ivy League Univ though

Indian University kwa?

The worst university in india is better than the best in Nigeria.

dollarsplenty:
Before you continue shouting afonja upandan, remember the people were arrested by the same Afonja army. 80% of crimes in the south west are bursted and perpetrators arrested by the indigenes (the Afonjas). That goes a long way to tell you that the people are strongly against this act.

And the crimes committed in Igboland are reported and bursted by whom? Foolish puppy

Learners, they need to study Tobechi Onwuhara.

9 Yoruba

Calculating:
Later, they will claim our brothers from the east are those known to commit crimes outside the shores of this country.

That is something every Igbo person needs to counter at any opportunity. Please post on Nairaland news on criminal activities by Yorubas and positive news on Igbos. It's a psychological war and Igbos gotta understand that.
