Hahaha 🤣😂

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.

jmoore:
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.

mrvitalis:
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.

slivertongue:
Where did Enugu generate her revenue? And why didn't Anambra generate more or why didn't Anambra declare all?

Obi Gringory carried it to hero brewery & Fidelity Bank plc to hide

You will see the dividends by 2033.

aworatak:
Most of these IGR figures are concocted. If you want to know the financial details of any state, look into the debt profile.

Show us their debt profile, shame done catch u, so so nosie ordinary internal generated revenue south east is failing woefully.

U are looking 👀 for excuse for your failure abi?

Lagos this, Lagos that, na una get Lagos State, but your own region, nothing to show for all your chest beating.

Please 🙏 look 👀 @ Anambra’ state, shawarmagirl & Tochi360 no go let us hear word, Gringory this, President of Nigeria that?

Ttalk:
Most the states are just too lazy, unproductive and backward. How can you justify your revenue depends solely on FAAC and not what you work for.

Regionalism is the answer

Please can u explain what the difference is between regions & states?

athaboi:
This is really pathetic, and because of ethnicity, yoruba people will blindly argue in support of a new coastal road that benefits onlyTinubu Lagos.... that coastal road ends in Lagos, you can take this to the bank! it will never pass south west Nigeria. In all of this, the daft governor of Edo is bragging that he will give Tinubu 2 million unfounded votes in 2027....shamelessly deceiving himself.....I trust Tinubu to ignore that unrealistic jamboree

Desist from self hatred.

Jagaba & Umahi have abandoned the
major highways in the country and gone
to the coast to spend N25 trillion to construct
a highway for mammy water ( mami wata 💦🌊💧🌅 )👽👽👽


Jagaba don become king of the coast
and him wife, queen of the coast.

They should toll the roads, but people like u that don’t pay taxes, & want everything free, will refuse to pay.

SmartEnergyng:
Birds of the same feather don’t just flock together — they defect together.

In the Nigerian political zoo, Atiku Abubakar was long regarded as the undisputed king of party-hopping.
From PDP to ACN, back to PDP, then to APC, and now ADC — the man has changed parties more times than Nigeria has changed fuel prices.

And now? Peter Obi, the self-anointed “different one,” is proving to be just another Atiku in minimalist branding.
Let’s break it down.

Peter Obi’s Party Timeline:
2003–2014: Governor of Anambra under APGA

2014: Defected to PDP

2019: Became Atiku’s VP candidate under PDP


2022: Jumped ship again, landing in Labour Party


2024/25: Cozying up to the same “mega coalition” that includes the same old recycled elites.ADC

So what makes Obi different?
Is it the softer voice? The quieter deceit? The frequent market visits with camera crews?

Atiku has long preached the gospel of “anywhere the wind blows”. But Obi has now added “with a touch of piety.” They are both pilgrims on a restless quest for power — not principles. One with a loud convoy, the other with a camera-ready backpack.

They wear different robes but serve at the same altar: the Church of Political Prostitution.

Both men have no qualms about romancing the very systems they once blamed. Today’s opponent is tomorrow’s running mate. Today’s evil is tomorrow’s alliance.

So let’s stop pretending.
Peter Obi is no different from Atiku — just better at curating his hypocrisy.

They are twin sons of opportunism, proof that in Nigerian politics, the more things change, the more the defectors remain the same.

True Talk.

Christistruth03:
Apologise now, what are you waiting for.

He is waiting to become president first, every musa, olu & ejiro go just dey use Ndigbos dey play.

IrokoNewsTv:
If I become the president of Nigeria the first thing I will do is to apologize to Igbos.

Is he saying this to win igbos minds? Time will tell

Daddy is sleeping. 💤.

slivertongue:
Please show where I made such comments. You blind supporters were after dangote all this while until he spoke out and Nigerians backed him. That Nigerians stood up for him doesn't mean they will tolerate his attempt to dictate for the country neither will they support the union to dictate for the country. Both parties must act within the armbbit of the law.

Please gerrout.

Mrchippychappy:
At this point you might as well give him the entire country because "we owe it to him"

It is always the ones that add nothing, that will always purport to make the most noise.
