Godarz:
Which is why I stated in my comment...Ogun state has the highest tax to gdp ratio in Nigeria, at 3.4% or thereabouts ...as seen in this article


Below is a graph showing the states with the highest tax to gdp ratios in Nigeria....from the article I linked above.

Like you said "in the article "..

While in real life it's Lagos that has the highest tax to gdp.

Godarz:
State by state, the tax to gdp ratio is even less.

Ogun state has a tax to gdp ratio of 1.4% and that's the highest in Nigeria.

The problem is that Nigeria does not tax the informal sector adequately.

sauce

the problem is that you're using Nigeria instead of using the regions in Nigeria.

Godarz:
If you want a proper ambulance with all the trimmings....pay higher taxes.

Nigeria's tax to gdp ratio is 6.1%. Countries who have superior ambulances...have tax to gdp ratios above 25%

Nigeria's tax to gdp ratio is like that because of its inflated population figures..

reduce Nigeria's population to only southern Nigeria's population and you'll get the correct tax to gdp ratio.

FreeSpirited:
Nigeria has the brain, resources, population and innovation to lead in all sphere of life in the wordl Name it:, in sport, science, finance, business, medicine, invention? just name it..even in juju....but u know what...Your Fulani Herdsmen and Buhari will not allow us to be great.
.

go and research about cow head and goat head... people who worship cows and goats are s:atanists.

there is nothing like ritual killings.

what they call ritual killing is called organ theft...

Lie. Blacks always blaming others and never themselves


yes bro cause the white race always aggressive to any other race most especially to us black people go and out what they did to plo lumumba the first president of that same DRC.

nativefowl:
See evil of terrorism and aimlessly fights without a cause


aimlessly fight without a cause?

please go and find out what the congolese went through in the hands of the whites during king leopold the ii and then ask yourself if it's justified.
more than 10000000 congolese were slain in the hands of the whites and yet no one talks about it but a single spy died in an accident and they want us to sympathize with them.

Southerners are a letdown to Agriculture when God blessed them with the Rain Forest where there is Water everywhere.Let there be permanent shortage of beef and everything else.How difficult is it to produce any vegetables? Hunger will be the beginning of wisdom!

southerners are not a letdown to Agriculture, they farm a lot and that's one of the many reasons farmers are been attacked..

if southerners were not farming, will there be farmers to attack

it is the buyer that does the threatening and not the seller....

when U.K and U.S want to sanction Nigeria, they stop buying crude oil from Nigeria...

what you're seeing in the main post is called reverse psychology..

real777:
Beef....

I hate that stuff. You can go to hell with all the vegetables. If not for laziness I see no reason south depend on north for food supply.
Research have it that two local governments in Edo south can feed the entire Edo State without application of fertiliser but guess what? As I type those local government are under the siege of fulani terrorists....

Southern governors are the biggest evil bedeveling the people of the SouthSouth region. No innovation and human capacity projects. Basically wait for alert from Abuja and the next thing pay salaries. Damn

Kingdemmu:
You guys in the South should better get used to this scarcity cause it will be the new normal for a very long time. We are even planning to completely stop taking our products down south. If una want am, come to the North and buy. We can't be helping to feed you guys while you keep killing us and destroying our properties.

it is the buyer that does the threatening and not the seller....

when U.K and U.S want to sanction Nigeria, they stop buying crude from Nigeria...

seborrhic:
There was a time, about 3-4years or so ago, when tomatoes were not only very expensive,but even so scarce;it was that year I knew tomatoes were also grown in the Southwest with their own breed.
Though not as tasty as that from the North,but many people had to make do with that breed of Swestern tomatoes.
When push comes to shove,there would always be an alternative because the entire South and the middle Belt are thick in the rainforest zones,and this is always the best kind of climate for food crops and even animals.
It's just that the ready availability of these foodstuffs from the North has not made people in other zones to explore the vast potentials of their lands.

most of the food even tomatoes and beef are from fellow southerners, the southerners might want to create scarcity to increase the price of tomatoes and beef. there are private farms all over southern Nigeria who grow tomatoes and other foodstuffs.

sulaak:
The SW hasn't an army to stand up to the Northern army. The SW must start building security capacity and arming Yoruba youths

you're right but the quote below should also be added.. so that the legal security institution will be differentiated from the illegal security institution... you don't expect a legal security outfit to attack people.

Felabarmudia:
Create your own bandits and stop complaining, that's the way to go now...by the time you create your own unknown gun men and behave like your enemies the equation will be balanced and the government will listen when you talk.

jaxxy:
All I see are lame excuses. After how many years if independence? Was 1Naira not equal to a dollar b4? Was America a world power and biggest economy in the word b4? They worked for it and Ure here saying other people didn’t make u become a great country?? Lol pls stop this mentality.

U are responsible for where u are. We all are. Nobody else.

so if an armed robber robs you and shoots your left leg and that leg ends up been amputated then according to you, you are responsible for the armed robber making you disabled..

I will not respond to any of your quotes anymore, your brain is wired to create negative ideology and see loses...

you're very intelligent and creative in creating negativity and seeing only loses in people and places..

jaxxy:
Lol Ure not being honest with these answers bt it’s fine.

If white where more selfish Europe and America won’t be as developed as it is and Africa backwards and even getting worse in everything after independence. Check urself well.

e:urope and U:S are as developed as they are because they robbed and pillaged other countries and take resources from these other countries to develop their own country.

e:urope and U:S also give themselves stronger currencies and use their organisations like I:M:F , W:orld b:ank to advise other countries to devalue their currencies which makes these other countries currencies lose value.

the biggest oil company in Nigeria is owned by b:ritish and N:etherlands.
the british still have companies operating in the countries they robbed and pillaged and they are still robbing and pillaging those countries.

some of br:itish owned companies in Nigeria:
shell
british nigerian tobacco
U.A.C
U.B.A
unilever
cadbury
P&G
PZ cussons
PWC

e.t.c.....

these companies takes profits from Nigeria and other countries they operate in and take the profits back to their country..
for a country to grow it or some of its private citizens needs to own the biggest companies in that country and not foreigners...

one of the reasons why most countries in Africa aren't growing is because most of the biggest companies are owned by foreigners most of whom are backed by their government.

jaxxy:
Who will arrest who? Who will be the leader of who?? U must be United and believe in unity and fair principles to achieve anything. It is not easy to achieve with the black man greedy and highly selfish mentality trust me.

Ask NDDC ur example of Niger delta oil management and leadership what it has done sofar.

the criminals will be arrested.

Nigeria is not united yet achieves a lot of things..

NDDC is an organisation that consists of different ethnic nations and its led by different ethnic nations..

If Nigeria separates NDDC will not exist anymore..

anything that consists of more than one ethnic nation will be difficult to manage.

don't put words in my mouth NDDC was YOUR OWN EXAMPLE not mine...

white people are more greedy and selfish than Africans..

hammerDK:
Zik was not a bigot like Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello.


Zik actually was pro Black and into pan Africanism, after studing in America, during the civil right movement.


He willfully, agreed to give the core North a MAJORITY in parliament, by seceding Benue, Kogi, Taraba and Kwara to the North.



I know they dont teach history in Nigeria but with the internet, you can actually read up on this things rather than lies passed on through oral history.


https://kwekudee-tripdownmemorylane..com/2013/06/nnamdi-azikiwe-great-pan-africanist-and.html

zik was actually a worse bigot than Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello.

kogi, taraba were created in 1991 while benue was created in 1976, kwara was created in 1967 by gowon, zik wasn't anywhere near power when at least 3 of the states were created.

its not bigotry when you don't interfere in regions that have nothing to do with your ethnic nation....

its bigotry to interfere in regions that have nothing to do with your ethnic nation and this is what zik encouraged because he wanted igbos to control all the regions in Nigeria, zik wasn't content with the eastern region.

what you call pro-black and pan Africanism is actually globalists.. and its a very bad ideology unless the participants don't interfere in each others politics e.t.c.

topboss:
OTI BERE Oooo...


THIS WAS WAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME YORUBA TRIED TO CLAIM THEM.


A BUNCH OF MENSTRATING WOMEN DID THIS, TO A YORUBA MAN.

that's the story they want you to believe.

no ethnic nation will ever attack another nation bigger than it in population.

myami:
Ee hee! I use to think they migrated from the middle east.

if you look at the world map you'll see that north africa and europe are close to each other and its easy for anyone to cross over to the other.

even the place we call middle east is still part of Africa more like north eastern Africa but it will never be called such by the e:uropeans.

hammerDK:

The core North, should never have been added to Nigeria.


Zik should have rejected them, then we will not have fulani invaders in our forest today.


Anybody trying to join Nigeria should know we are full and have no space or vacancy yet.


Biafra will have to first exit and then, others can take the vancancy.

there's no way zik would have rejected them. he was a globalist/nationalist, who wanted igbos to control the politics, economics, education e.t.c. of the other regions in Nigeria.

if zik had limited his ambitions to eastern Nigeria, we will not have fulani invaders in our forest today despite been joined with northern nigeria.

jaxxy:
Tell that to NDDC pls. They are ur perfect example of what will happen. Who told u niger delta won’t fight over oil?? Ur fairy tale is as beautiful as u imagine unless u deal with ur greed mentality and hate for urselves. Fairly tales are not as easy as seen in the movies.

everyone has subtle hatred for another person.
everyone has greed mentality.

anyone who fights over oil will be arrested. its not a fairy tale and its very easy to achieve in reality..

you're the one who has been trained to see loses and negatives.

myami:
northern african? You mean the arabs in tunisia, libya, algeria, egypt and morocco

yes, those countries used to be filled with melanin Africans until the europeans invaded them.

the people you call arabs are actually descendants of europeans. europeans always give themselves new names or the indigenous names of the places they take over.

Farki:
I'm sorry but pan African unification is nothing but a fantasy made up by naive black Americans.

Africans have been fighting each other before these borders were made up, the fact that we all share the same skin colour is irrelevant.

Africans never fought each other... it was the e:uropeans who used african slaves from northern africa to wage war against other parts of Africa especially west Africa.

jaxxy:
And when oil becomes less useful and promising what will they do? Divide? Does Venezuela not have oil? This should tell u having oil is not a big deal it’s what u do with the revenue that matters. Oil won’t be like this forever don’t let it make u lazy.

And even oil producing states and local government will fight over oil and divide Since nobody can be forced to be where they don’t want. I see more loses than wins.

oil can never become less useful.
venezuela issues has to do with economic sanctions from the corrupt white countries.

apart from oil, they have fertile land, human capital, access to the sea, seaports, airports, universities, schools, labs e.t.c..

they will never fight over it because a sharing quota will be used and everyone will have their share and they will not need to share their oil and revenue with 35 other states, this means there will be more indigenous billionaires which means more revenue for each new country.

if northern nigeria was never joined with southern Nigeria, you'll never know anyone called d:angote, ibb, d:antata, i:ndimi e.t.c....

you see more loses because you're not intelligent enough to see the wins..

jaxxy:
If Nigeria divides everyone will be the loser because the division will be more than u think. Even Biafra will divide their own. Hate can only breed more hate not love. Division mentality will breed more division.

if Nigeria divides, the biggest gainers will be all the oil producing states and Lagos...

then the next gainers will be new countries now have the ability to deport and ban criminals that are not from the new countries...

no more people like you shouting strength in unity...

If u say there is no devil then who is responsible for a lot havoc we here daily ? And if u are saying God created an entity he cant control then it means u dont know what free will is all about , he has given us the will to decide and make choices that's why u have a choice to dicide which side u belong to , it's now very clear to me dat u are lost , u are not even siting on d fence, u are confuse , I pray u understand understand that dis life is truly deeper dan you thought, plz dont preach this ur quack philosophy outside , make dem no go use u do barbeque.

there is no devil, its your fellow humans that are responsible for the havoc you see on earth..

Emmani360:
Exactly my reply to people that accuse all this western countries of ripping off Africa. Blaming other countries for the incompetence of our politicians. We ourselves are to blame for whatever we are passing through. America was colonized but look at them today. With our resources, If our leaders from 1960 has be selfless, this country would not be as it is today.

you don't need selfless leaders for your country not to be as it is today...
you need big companies, hard-working youths ( for youths to have jobs you need companies especially big companies ).
you need big manufacturing companies.
e.t.c..

if states like bayelsa, akwa-ibom, rivers, delta, edo, ondo, lagos were independent countries they will be doing extremely well because they wouldn't share their revenue with 30 other states and this will make capital available for other projects within those states.

as for blaming:
If Nigeria or any other African country could build its own aeroplanes, fighter jets, warships, guns, cars, trucks, trains, medical equipment and supplies e.t.c. Nigeria or those African countries will not trade with the U:S and countries in E:U and Asia and this means there won't be wars in Africa because one of the reasons wars are created is to sell weapons like fighter jets, guns.... without wars weapons manufacturing companies will go broke.. without epidemics, pandemics and sicknesses pharmaceutical companies will also go broke...

if you own a weapons manufacturing company that makes you $2billion for the last 7 years and your major buyers are 3 countries whose war problems started 7 - 8 years ago... would you want those 3 countries to become peaceful?

fergusen:
I currently have over 50 premium names (both SH owned and seller owned) on SH. Description doesn't matter when submitting names on Squadhelp. I usually type the name in description box and that's all.
SH approval standard is tough now because the marketplace is getting saturated, and their portfolio of SH registered names is also getting bigger.

how long did it take for them to grant you silver status after reaching 50+ premium names?

Has anyone gotten "Afternic Listing Requests" on your domain names that are on SH?

Can't it be named after the gwari people.

uuzba:
Most of technology began around north Africa, and Europe. Due to Christianity, people were moving around from one place to another to preach and spread the Gospel. At the same time, they were carrying information about technology. Ceaser did this, Nero did that. When you hear about the technology, you learn it fast and adapt. That's why all European countries seem to be at the same level of development.
As for Africa, Egypt is where all the ghen-ghen started, far back even before Christianity. Pharaoh and Ramses and their pyramids and chariots..
But look at this map of Africa, Egypt is at the top, Nigeria is at the bottom of West Africa. There is a mighty Sahara Desert in between.
Without any vehicle, food or water, it does not make any sense for any technologically advanced Egyptian to cross the terrible desert and come down to Nigeria to preach or teach anybody anything. They cannot cross to Congo due to heavy thick forest and they can't get to South Africa due to more forest and Kalahari desert.
We that are living here are the descendants of our ancestors that managed to cross down to this area. They didn't have anything. No idea of technology and had to start everything from scratch.
Our Ancestors may have been here since the time of Moses. But they were disconnected from everything, just living inside bush hunting one antelope to eat. No city, no house. and very few. There was an ancient Mali civilization, but that one died off due to no access to European technology. Europeans that got there, just destroyed the place and the people could not compete with them and fight back. They were just villagers.
You know the level that we were operating at in our villages whilst the Europeans had already advanced seriously,
THEN,....
The Europeans used SHIPS and sailed along the water OUTSIDE Africa, to come here and colonise us and Educate us on all the "latest" technology.
That is what happened.
That is why Africa seems to be always backwards all over the continent.

1. Europe is north of Africa so the europ:eans only need to cross the ocean and get to North Africa.
2. West Africa was the farm for the rest of Africa.
3. Africans were peaceful people which makes them easy targets.
4. Most of what was used in Egypt was also used in other parts of Africa.
5. Africans had cities, houses they were called huts.
6. The Sahara desert wasn't always a desert.
