Slowing down the economy

Tinubu MUST BE voted OUT

By April 2027 after the general election has been concluded, u would realize that u have wasted 4 years, chasing an illusion.

My brother, your destiny is in your hands. If you seat back, watch and keep wailing, it will be difficult to progress. We have thousands and thousands of young unprivileged Nigerian youths doing exploits in different fields, making use 9f different opportunities that presents themselves at every point in time. Since 1999 that we are back to democratic rule, I have been seeing online now and then wailing, complaints etc of different people during different government from President Obasanjo till date and trust me till the end of the world it would remain so. A lot of guys they were bitterly complaining online but have a rethink, work on themselves and today are doing great things have now stop wailing and enjoying. It all depends on your mindset, your vision and what you choose to make out of your life. No government will save you, not now and not in the future except you take your destiny into your own hands.
As bad as you say thus government is, I see a whole lot of people thriving and doing very well for themselves. If you don't change your mindset, even if the best government in the world is at your tip, you will still wail and complain and not achieve anything. Shalom

That same Bobloco a confirmed so called Obidient disciple wailed profusely under president Buhari 2015-2023, if I told u that I am not shocked that he has continued from were he left off, after Buhari would be an understatement.

O guy no wan help emself, he thinks posting only negative news about Tinubu on Nairaland will change his destiny for better.

Bobloco:
Future impossible tense"? My brother, the only thing more impossible than that grammar is expecting good governance from this administration. You talk about ‘taking advantage’ of government policies which ones exactly? The ones that have tripled food prices and fuel prices, collapsed the naira, and left millions in idps owing to insecurities ravage the entire country and in darkness while the President globe-trots and remain aloft


This country is bleeding, and no amount of motivational delusion can change the fact that Tinubu’s government has so far been a masterclass in failure. Nigerians don’t owe the government gratitude for surviving the government owes them results for the mandate it was given or claimed to have snatch, grab and run away with.

Can u please mention what state in the federal republic of Nigeria u are from?

But I know that shame, will never allow u to truly do so, so for u, it is best u mask under the Federal Government to hide your failure.

mascot87:
Future impossible tense. The earlier you start to take advantage of the several policies of this government, the better for you. You can't keep lazing around and then come online on a daily basis wailing on what you can't do anything about other than ranting

Your statement has been truly validated.

AMI3:
Tunubu is the president yet he is always scared of free and fair election.

Really?

unclejb2:
I checked the source of the news and I saw that it's Tribuneonline a newspaper owned by Tinubu and I stopped reading. Tinubu is so scared of Peter Obi

Tribune is owned by Tinubu?

press9jatv:
A plots of land now sells for over 400m in GOODWILL estate JERICHO.

Imagine o, that's when I come across some "ignoramus" denigrating ibadan as a "brown roof" city I just smirk 😏 at there ignorance...

Ibadan has some of the most serene and beautiful estates in Nigeria....

400 of 40 million?

ZombieDredd:
ndi IGR bigger than Jupiter, well-done oo

una never still understand say IGR shouldn't be the focus, what a pity

We know, na the external money wey federal government give u for the gas it extracted in imo state that u added to make up part of your Gross Domestic Product should be the focus abi?

Not the money u were able to generate by yourself, for yourself?

ZombieDredd:
Stop throwing tantrums and emotions all around the thread.

Argue intellectually.

you might to do IQ test sef

Your name alone done make me japa.

No need to waste my time, no words for u.

mrvitalis:
IMO GDP is twice that of Oyo
Bigger than Ogun
Anambra is bigger than Oyo and Ogun

IMO is the second largest GDP in nigeria according to world Bank

But digger between two to fourth is very small

Ok u believe GDP, but u doubt IGR abi?

Well I no blame una, na so nnamdi Kanu be, speak with one side, when dey catch am, no be talk am.

Isn’t the money collected from the Federal government factored into the GDP of the states?

IGR is the monies raised internally, generated without any external factors, homegrown earnings.

Kushites:
These are the words of a child.

By the way, the African Union has stipulated that Africa will have a continental lingua franca, most likely Swahili.

So English will not forever be the national language of Nigeria.

Even the name Nigeria is not sacrosanct.

I do not understand, na AI I take translate wetin u dey talk, write in your local dialect.

Yes o, na real akuko (story). That 1 year wey I do jss 1 for Federal government college Enugu for Independence layout, na run I comot that zone after my 1 year.

Kushites:
Because as the Giant of Africa, it should be NIGERIA leading the way in such a revival of black consciousness and heritage.

Nigeria will EVENTUALLY follow suit, and change that colonial attire, since the trend has started and will spread across Africa.

But why don’t we ever lead in such things?

Well sorry o, we do not understand what u are saying, please write in your local native language.

I cannot even say Nigerian language, because Nigeria as a word, is not indigenous to us.

Kushites:
Don’t you find it embarrassing that an African judge wears an English white man’s wig on his head to administer justice?

Is there no part of you that says “Come on….this is ridiculous”?

I wonder why u are writing in the English language, u should have written in your local dialect, for us to understand what u are saying?

Smartcitizen:
Just for mentioning Peter Obi the man who gave your hero a bloody nose in Lagos, your salary has been doubled.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same Gringory Obi wey I dey see for Ikoyi Club?

Na Lagos man be that, just like governor Otti? They only came back home to lord over you locals, after that. back to Lagos State.

Eko oni baje.

PHIPEX:
Do you know a company can generate same 80million dollars and still not pay tax legally?

Well sorry o, no company of such calibre will come to the south east to do business.

Even Gringory Obi’s greatest investment achievement was a South African brewery, the makers of your favorite hero beer.

Which Prof Soludo has said is worth next to nothing.

jmoore:
You said you are from Asaba and you are shouting Lagos. If we check well na Kwara state fit be your state.

Sorry I have the best of both worlds. Ughelli south negro, born in Ikoyi, raised in Victoria Island Lagos State, presently in Asaba on business, please don’t hate, congratulate.

GDP is how u measure economy

Go to school boy

Whether IGR, or GDP Lagos & Delta State still pass all the states for the South East region.

The state with the highest GDP in Nigeria is Lagos State, serving as the nation's economic powerhouse due to its commercial activities, industrial hubs, and thriving entertainment and technology sectors.

The top three states by GDP are typically Lagos State, Rivers State (an oil and gas hub), and Akwa Ibom State (another oil-rich region).

Other states with significant GDPs include, Delta, Oyo, imo, Ogun, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja

PHIPEX:
You are just displaying high level literacy. IGR is a function of how much a company or individual chooses to pay as tax. It doesn't show who is richer.

Don't be surprised Aliko Dangote does not pay the highest tax in Nigeria.

Keep celebrating what govt is taking away from you. A civil service state can pay higher tax than a business oriented state because their tax is deducted from source and they cant run away from it while a richer business man can dogde tax.,
A big company can also declare losses and avoid tax, it doesnt make them poor

Internal generated revenue means revenue that was generated from within the state, or local government, if a company in your state makes $80 million dollars year on year, & the government taxes that company 15%, just imagine the amount of money the government made from the productivity of that company.

Man U no get excuse for your laziness.

jmoore:
Best in putting burden on the populace?

Are you not among those criticizing Tinubu for too much taxation?

The people of southeast are not complaining of low IGR.

Na why una get very poor development index.

All your industrialist, even your messiah Gringory Obi are mostly in Abuja & Lagos State.

They have deserted the barren south east region.

Ttalk:
You forgot Delta was carved out to form Midwest region based on the peoples choice through referendum.

Which referendum give birth to unproductive states we have presently

Guy na so I see am o, no be my fault say them born u for The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

jmoore:
Copy and paste.

U can’t run from your laziness, u will be exposed.

Go & copy & paste Lagos state formula on how to make money for yourself, instead of waiting for Federal government allocation from Abuja.

If you channel your energy from insulting to learning, you might learn 1 or 2 things.

Apart from Enugu, other south east states are not bothering the people with too much taxation. That's the only reason for the low IGR.

internally Generated Revenue (IGR) refers to the money a government, especially a sub-national one like a state or local government, collects from its own sources within its jurisdiction, such as taxes and fees, rather than from central government allocations or grants.

This financial independence is crucial for funding local projects and ensuring financial viability. In Nigeria, IGR includes sources like Pay As You Earn (PAYE), direct assessment taxes, road taxes, stamp duties, Local Government Area (LGA) revenue, and revenue from government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs).

Key Characteristics of Internally Generated Revenue
Source: Revenue is generated from sources within a government's own territory and authority.
Purpose: It provides financial autonomy to fund local initiatives and projects.

Independence: IGR is separate from statutory allocations or grants from higher levels of government.
Sources of IGR in Nigeria (Examples)
Taxes:
Pay As You Earn (PAYE)
Direct Assessment (for self-employed individuals)
Road Taxes
Stamp Duties
Capital Gains Tax
Withholding Taxes
Other taxes
Other Sources:
Local Government Area (LGA) revenue
Revenue from Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) Fees for permits, such as outdoor structures.

Why IGR is Important:
Financial Viability: It is a key factor in a government's ability to finance its operations and development programs.

Fiscal Independence: IGR enhances a government's ability to be self-sufficient and responsive to local needs.
Development: Strong IGR can drive development by providing funds for crucial infrastructure and services.

Very good excuse for your laziness.

If it was easy u would have been high up there with the best.

Region is natural God's given grouping that our forefather accept as basic for being part of Nigeria while state are military delianation for administrative purpose and means of entrenching Unitary and centralised government.

Don't be surprised if you don't see same meaning using AI. Just as won't see same meaning to the type of Federalism we presently practice

Dude with all due respect na just nonsense u yapped, when we had western region of Nigeria wetin concern us for Delta State today, with people from Osogbo under the same western region?

Wetin concern people from Plateau State today, from old northern region, with Sokoto man from old northern region?

aworatak:
I don’t recall mentioning your decomp0s!ng Lagos in my post.
The guilty runner where no one pursueth them.

Sorry, I’m in Asaba, nothing do The Big Heart State.

Na your brothers from Onitsha dey run come here come settle.

Anyone can raise igr if they choose to
Enugu has the smallest GDP in South East yet has largest igr is nothing special

U shall know them by their fruits, Tinubu is a failure see Lagos state no 1, Gringory Obi is the messiah see Anambra State No. 20, atiku is John the Baptist see Adamawa state no.31.

slivertongue:
Serious minds interrogate issues. Where did Abia and Oyo keep hers? Where did Jigawa and Katsina get hers? How come they generate much yet deliver very despite heavy borrowing?

I am ashamed of the south east of Nigeria, really big shame, yet na them brag pass, they beat their pigeon chests.

See a whole Anambra state, yet one fraudster from Agulu is talking about consumption to production?

Make em dey deceive emself. & una.

mrvitalis:

We know a failure will always look for an excuse for been a failure, we know internal generated revenue, it is nothing special, it just shows the level of productivity of each state.

What a big shame to the south east region, all the real industrialists have moved to Abuja & Lagos State, even your messiah Gringory Obi no get business for South East Nigeria.

Next headquarters is in Apapa Lagos state.
