plaindealer: The guy is very very slow..

Come on omo yorubas produce your fake IGRs you dump on this site all the time. liars ,

Sloan: He is merely giving you a broader interpretation of the numbers you posted or are you a dumb ass, as per his question? Delta is not last, at least they are still ahead of Anambra but the IGR as a % of total revenue shows that Delta is not 8 actually but almost down in the dumps! It must really suck when more brilliant people take your own weapon and use it to put you to flight! LMAO!

, Keep it coming, how about Osun.

ndu_chucks: [s]I am not disputing your numbers. I am simply adding that Lagos and Sokoto are the leading states in relative "fiscal independence" measured by internally generated revenue (IGR) as a percentage of total revenue. What is shameful about this, it is simply a fact that is indisputable.

Abi you are a slowpoke ni?

[/s]

Those are not my numbers. The slowpoke here are people like you ashamed to face the truth, you have to find ways to undermine it.

[s]

ndu_chucks: Those are CBN numbers and they are not in conflict with your statement about lagos state.

[/s]

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[s][quote author=ndu_chucks]You are absolutely correct, numbers don't lie. According to Central Bank's data, Lagos is also No. 1. when you look at IGR as a percent of total revenue. This is quite commendable. Other states don't maintain their ranking when you look at both data. See below:

So desperate to create your own numbers you people are simply laughable. Go pick your fight with FIRS and National Bureau of Statistics

Numbers don't lie. I hope we never hear any kind of internet propaganda on IGRs on this forum anymore. Delta no dey carry last

Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics has shown that Lagos state internally generated revenue for the period of 2010-2012 was higher than any other state in the country. In the report which was signed by Statistician General, Yemi Kale in collaboration with the Joint Tax Board, Lagos State generated N185.541 billion in 2010, N202.761 billion in 2011 and N219.202 billion in 2012 making it the state with the highest internally generated revenue(IGR).
“First of all, we see patterns. Lagos stands out from the rest of the country, totally in a class of its own. Two, the south is totally different from the north and generally the economies in the north evidently lag behind,” Opeyemi Agbaje, CEO of RTC Advisory Services told CNBC Africa.
According to Agbaje, the data showed the impact of the major population and commercial centres especially in Southern Nigeria.
“So we see that the top seven or eight states are Lagos, Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Oyo, Enugu, and Cross River. Relatively, the South West stands out even from the rest of the South region. All of these give you a sense around the state of economic development in the regions,” he added.
Rivers State came in behind Lagos state with N173.047 billion and a breakdown showed that the state generated N49.585 billion in 2010, 57.187 billion naira in 2011 and N66.275 billion in 2012.
Data on internally generated revenues of state governments recently released by Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics reveal major disparity in revenues.
Delta ranked third with the most IGR, the data revealed that 26.087 billion naira was collected in 2010, N34.750 billion in 2011 and N45.566 billion in 2012
“It also reflects the social statistics in terms of education, entrepreneurial activities, the development of businesses, the development of commerce and industries across those regions.” - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/12/lagos-tops-igr-report
