Ignore the guy.

Look at the table.

Abia has grand total of 7.5billion IGR while Ekiti has 6.5billion but he chose to close his eyes on Ekiti and spew trash about Abia.

For Abia State to be in same league with Ekiti and generating less than Ebonyi is actually scandalous.

If Abia State potentials are optimized, it should be earning among the highest IGR in Nigeria considering the potentials in the state. However, it is not only Abia State that has defied logic in this IGR issue, I think Kano is equally doing terribly in that aspect, they're actually the worst because with all the federal government allocations, trade and commerce, industries and bloated population, that state should be in the first 5 states in IGR generation.

The reason why Abia State is at that embarrassing position is because of poor governance. There is almost non existent infrastructure like good roads and ease of doing business which is a disincentive to tax payment. If you own a business in the city and the road leading to your factory is impassable causing you losses in revenue you will never want to pay tax.

North will continue to frustrate people like you. North is your nightmare and you can't fight it.

North can only frustrate itself and they're doing a good job of it. The region has gone bellyup and lack of qualitative education is the root cause which I rightly pointed out

[b]Is Buhari or Babangida or Gowon or Abdulsalam or Atiku [/b]an Okada rider.

You made no sense. I'm sure if you could choose your father you would have gladly chosen any of the above.

Lol, all these ones are products of quota system na. On a level playing field that is based on merit, Buhari and the rest wouldn't have occupied those posts. They're the reason why your country is a sh1thole.

over 90% in Lagos and Abuja

Do you have a source for this claim or is it powered by high dose akpu? Hyperakpunemia?
Where is the source for the assumption that PAYE is from FG workers?


Please explain how additional states would mean more IGR for SE?

Why do the non-Lagos FIVE states still generate more?

How come SS with 6 states generates more than NW with 7

Logic has travelled far from you

You must be an otondo to be asking this sort of dumb question.

Every state in Nigeria recieves billions of naira every month from federal allocations. Out of it, all civil servants in that state will PAYE will be deducted from all their salaries, same with contractors that execute projects. Remember that PAYE forms bulk of the IGR of most states in Nigeria! Are you now getting the point?

If NW has only 5 states instead of 7, its IGR would have been much lower than it currently is. On the other hand, if SE has 6 or 7 states, its IGR as a region would be much higher than it is currently.

opigo,,,is that a name of human being?

opigo, that bloody traitor..... opigo almost sold Ijaw land to useless ojukwu and his cursed biafra if not Adaka Boro who came for our rescued

RIP English

Go to school, you all refuse and claim that drinking ogogoro and constituting nuisance as juvenile delinquents is better. Now look at the rubbish you're writing, even a primary one student will write better.

Shame!!

Based on their standard template for Southern Nigeria, I would expect the Nigerian police to retaliate by burning every house and arresting every young man found within a 10 mile radius of that community.

If they can't do that in the North, then why do they always do it in the South??

nazicartel:
Lagos should be made to stand on her own , That state is a very busy and beautiful state. They should be paying minor stuffs to the central govt and use the rest for it's development.

Lagos is nothing without the rest of Nigeria! It is the activity from the rest of Nigeria that makes Lagos what it is and not the other way round!!

Bulk of the so-called IGR comes from PAYE. Now federal government has almost all its parastertels and agencies in Lagos and Abuja, so you now know why they are earning the most.

Every day they keep peddling fake IGR yet hunger has almost finished all of them.

What they won't tell you is that PAYE i.e. pay as you earn is responsible for most of the so-called IGR. Now over 90% of all federal government agencies, ministries and parastertels are in Lagos and Abuja, with the remaining others in Kaduna and Rivers. That's basically why they account for most of the PAYE tax. Again, while all other regions have 7 & 6 states each, SE has just 5 meaning a massive loss PAYE tax that would have accrued to the region had it been they have 6 or 7 states.


Rubbish!!!

Education is critical in this life, that's why Igbos keep getting ahead of others. If he had been born in the North, he would probably be an okada rider or Fulani herdsman

You guys are not naturally intelligent and neither are you educated, that's why you think you can use intimidation and violence to seize your neighbors lands.

Now let me educate you how you all going to lose all those stolen lands.

1. Onece Bini people completely take control of Gelegele as they're currently doing, it will totally cut off your settlements in Ondo state and the Yorubas will claim it fully using logic and diplomacy.

2. Okrika people knows that Ikwerre and Ijaw can't possibly live together, so they will eventually distance themselves from Ijaws fully so they can integrate fully in P.H

3. Ubani Igbos in Bonny and Opobo knows that ijaws have nothing to offer them except violence, instability and underdevelopment so they will naturally team up with their Igbo brothers to become the new "Lagos" flush with peace, stability and progress.

4. Oro people in Akwa Ibom will naturally go with their Akwa-Cross brothers.

5. With the loss of Gelegele and Ondo Ijaws, the Itshekiri and Uhrobo will isolate the Ijaw settlements around Warri.

Ultimately, ijaw will have few local governments in Bayelsa and maybe Delta to form their republic with.

Ogogoro landgrabbers thinking they could steal their neighbors lands through intimidation and violence.

Don't worry, when Igbos are done settling bigger issues in Nigeria, we will face you guys squarely and ensure that every single bit of land you stole from your weaker neighbors are fully returned to them.

Ijaws are too small and insignificant to pose a threat.

Ebi2233:
Your mumu no tell you say Epie no get one Ancestor talk more of Atissa.

Amarata and Agudama have never shared one Ancestor.

Agudama-Epie say their ancestors came from
Okordia clan.
Amarata Epie say their ancestors came from Tarakiri clan.
Edepie say their ancestors came from Gbarain clan
Epie that is made up of different people that came from different Ijaw villages to form Epie.
How can people without one Ancestor form a tribe.

Continue decieving yourself. They came from other Ijaw communities as you claim yet they speak Edoid language totally different from yours?

Ogogoro landgrabbers!!

Ebi2233:


As u mumu reach, them no tell u say anybody can write anything online.

If they are not Ijaw why are they in all Ijaw socia-cultural organizations?
If you think these organizations are just for anybody, oya go and join now.

You're a dunce, those groups are just cult groups that give cover to juvenile delinquents so they could profitably get involved in criminal activities such as oil bunkering. It doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things.

GreatBoss:


Mumu.
Who are the original owners of Yenagoa.

Itiboribo landgrabber, the Eppie-attisa people own Yenegoa. Just because they're small in number doesn't mean you can claim their heritage.

Ijoh:


Atleast we don't do 419 worldwide like Ibo.
We don't do prostitution worldwide like Ibo.
We don't use family for rituals lie Ibo.
We don't carry hard drugs worldwide like Ibo.

Ijaws are too insignificant to be noticed and even in the next 100 years, you guys will never achieve 10% of the exploits Igbos have made in diverse fields!!

The only things ijaws are noted for are all nuisance activities, like militancy, oil bunkering, landgrabbing, oil pollution, and cultism. Because you're incapable of evolving as modern progressive humans, that's why you can't even develop a moderate sized town but instead will be dragging other people's lands.

Ijoh:


Okrika part of Port Harcourt comes with Ijaw Republic.
YENAGOA is another very fast upcoming city.

The first picture is some part of Yenagoa the second picture is some part of Okrika part of Port Harcourt.

You think the original owners of Yenegoa will allow Ijaws to steal their city?

Okrika is just Ijaw, stop all these landgrabbing! Let's even assume that they're Ijaw, so how do you intend to carve out a section of a city and put in another country? How possible is that?

So, in essence, you can see that ijaw republic is still a fantasy since it doesn't even have a capital.

BluntCrazeMan:
[s]Congrats To Ndị Anambra.
..
Even the Supreme Court Judgements cannot bring in the candidate who came third to become the winner this time.
..
The early analyses of the individually computed results by the separate parties tallied closely with what INEC is declaring Officially.
..
The discrepancies in the computed results and the announced results are not much, and can be easily ignored.
..
Save for that cooked-up Ihiala LGA Result, which was cancelled all the same.
..
Generally there were no elections in Ihiala LGA, so there are not supposed to be results from there.
..
From the early analyses, it can be concluded that INEC did a good job.
..
(Meanwhile, that would not stop us from doing some deeper analysis of the whole results later, when INEC must have released the whole results and then release their breakdown of the results and their own INEC’s official analysis of the election)[/s]

Stop talking rubbish!!
Hope was rejected by Imo people at the polls, he lost woefully by coming 4th! Andy Ubah even came 3rd in Anambra!

Only for Supreme Court to impose Hope on Imo State from far away Abuja. What would Imo people have done in such circumstances??!

Instead of gloating with your senseless comparison, you better pray that same madness they imposed on Imo State is not contemplated on Anambra state. Because you will still be helpless just like Imo people.

Senseless people everywhere!!

Ebi2233:
Ijaw don reject other South South people.
Ijaw Republic we stand.
E suprise them well well.

Ijaw republic indeed, with how many local governments? You don't even have a single town talk more of city yet you're dreaming of having a republic.

Ogogoro is not good at all.

They lost the moment they made "Hopeless" the face of their campaign. They're so stupid to have used one of the most hated Igbo governor of all times to campaign for another failure.

Even Andy Ubah looks clueless most times. Contesting against Soludo is like a dullard going against a first class material on a scholarship contest.

Good news. Security of lives and property in Igboland should be their priority.

IPOB can't be a terrorist organization even in the least sense of the word otherwise they won't be listening to the people and protecting lives. Terrorists actually do the opposite.

Allen102:
I am an ijaw man from Rivers State,so type what you know son.

Trash!

You're a settler living in Rivers state, that's why indigenes call ijaws like you bayelsans.

GreatBoss:

[s]
They did not calculate most Bayelsans.
Because of fear of crossing Rivers because Rivers seperates Ijaw towns from the next in Bayelsa.
In Rivers State alone, Ijaw have 12 LGA.
I will not answer you again.[/s]

Stop telling lies while hoping that people will believe it someday. There are no Ijaws in Rivers State except those that are living there as non indigenes.

Indigenous Rivers people always refer to Ijaws as bayelsans. Ask yourself why they do that? Also ask yourself why Wike threatened ijaw youths to go back to Bayelsa when they tried to protest at NDDC office.

Your IYC and the rest are just cult groups juvenile delinquents in niger Delta like identifying with because it gives them cover to be perpetrating crimes such oil bunkering, extortions and other juicy criminal activities.

How can you say that ijaws in Delta are up 1 million? That's impossible!

Igbo speaking aborigines of Delta State are the most populous in the state and makes up about 40% of the state's population. Followed by Uhrobo, then Itshekiri before isoko and ijaw taking up the rear. Mind you emphasis on "Igbo speaking" i.e. entire Anioma as an entity.

Meanwhile, I doubt ijaws are even up to 3 million when you consider that Bayelsa is the smallest state in Nigeria yet there are different ethnicities there aside Ijaw. Also, in Rivers, Delta, Edo and Ondo where they are found, they constitute an insignificant proportion. It's just that they make the most noise and also like to use violence to intimidate their fellow minority neighbors.

Madness!!!
But you got me there, the way I rush enter the thread eh

Heartbreak for zombies

Amunaotutheory:
Just look at APC. I hope they don’t do the same Supreme Court rubbish they did in IMO state. APC can only win In owambe land.

Judging by the wide margin Soludo won in Awka South shows that the overwhelming majority of people want him. Any attempts to rig this election in favour of APC especially now they are saying it will drag till Sunday will lead to more crises.

Part of the reason why Imo State became a hotbed was because an unpopular candidate was foisted on us against our collective wish.

Wow, I hope the good news continues to the end. Anambra needs competent hands like Soludo.

PaChukwudi44:
Meat sellers were killed.Whats tribe doing here

Even the fact that both Igbo and Hausa men were victims couldn't stop the bigot. SMH

Na wa o, who are those killing people like this?
All these killings are not part of our culture. Igbos value lives of human beings regardless of who or where the person is from. Only armed robbers are openly killed like this.
