Those aboki from the North, with big dirty bags everywhere do the same thing.

Birds of same feather

You expect them to treat a drug dealer like a prince

Drug dealers are scums

wiseoneking:
GDP is the measure of wealth of a state or country and not IGR. Most states like Lagos, port harcourt etc igr are high due to foreign coys etc and federal government presence and not basically taxable public population. That’s while a state like Anambra, Imo and Abia is far more developed than states you may be hyping for high igr.
Post the GDP of states nd most especially GDP per capital of each state: this shows how wealthy a state is

How can you get per capital of your state when most of your people can't live in your states. Make your states viable stop ranting.

Where are all the recovered loot?

Raf4:
We have the pictures, history and many more of Lagos for at least 50yrs before Nigeria ever came to existence. Nigeria, thru her colonial masters, beneficially selected Lagos as her capital because Lagos already had all what it takes to be a capital city, even ahead of some capital cities in Asia and South America. I'm sure many cities in your region today were just farmlands, hunting forest or waste lands as of 1850 when Lagos was already a blooming port-city, transacting with the likes of Liverpool City port etc.

Fact...the Benins, Brazilians, Portuguese all flocked Lagos even before Nigeria existed. Lagos has always had that attraction.

BENEAMATA:
one parasitic rodent is even up above your comments screeching and squeaking about if only major conglomerates and company headquarters are paying their taxes where their work factories and installations are based. All in their usual 'what ifs' and' if only ' lamentations and gibberish. I wonder when these loudmouthed pest will realise no one wants to bring a company headquarter to a place where it' s own people are moving out in droves and unknown gunmen have reduced productive hours by one important day !

I think it's too far fetched for them to realise this...no one will visit, live in or do business in an unsafe, bigoted, unfree and unprogressive state and environment, even their people won't stay.

Bahdguyishere:
Lagos: ₦819.62bn

All Other 35 States Combined: ₦661.67bn

Honestly, other states are not trying at all.

Poor governors and management of the states.

AustineE1:
Lagos is what it is today by the fact that it was the capital of Nigeria and hence,federal strength was used to fix most infrastructures there and until the federal govt decides to decentralized development,nothing will change.
If govt could invest half of what it invested in putting up the different ports in Lagos,in portharcourt and calabar,I bet you most people will relocate,dredge Onitsha port to accommodate huge cargoes and see what is left of Lagos.
Abuja used to be a glorified village until it was made the federal capital and now,it is beauty to behold.Would you give it to the gwari people that they built Abuja through their dexterity?

The new deep sea port in Lagos is by Lagos State government and private investors partnership. You people give these governors of your states too much lax and space to be lazy and corrupt. Your state governor can put up a port and promote a port, they have the capacity to do so, but they are interested in looting your money and spending money on politicking...but you people encourage their laziness...today power devolution have been passed into law, how many states are sourcing for investment for their power/electricity sector?

Every state for itself, look inward, focus on your governors and representatives.

Akwamkpuruamu:
I love my Governor Hope Uzodimma. The guy gets plenty sense die. Him no wan declare imo VAT

It's not within his control to manipulate VAT figures, unless you are ignorant of how VAT figures are collatted and remitted.

Marknsukabag:
After draining their crude oil, you still want to come and collect Tax . Tax kill you there

Seems you don't know what VAT means.

Betgold84:
We rich in nigeria.
But how can wealth spread around?

Some are rich, others no get head to coordinate their state affairs progressively and productively. This is a reflection of how things will be if Nigeria is divided, we know those that will cry.

AustineE1:
I'm sure that most of the 'we are from Lagos gang',dont even know what VAT means.

If your state is not peaceful, developed or stable, you can't attract people to spend, to gain VAT through their spending, payments, or demand.

We all should make our states stable, peaceful, developed and progressive not empty boasts and talks.

sagitariusbaby:
We have seen the real parasite states but they won't be quiet still.

The parasites are usually the loudest, but on this they will go quiet.

It's clear to see who the parasites and liabilities are.

No, public sector stealing and embezzlement by politicians is a national disgrace.

Nigeria should listen to Saudi on this, they know something about Gumi we don't.

When your own people deny you you know there is a problem...I thought Gumi is loyal to his brethren not Nigeria

Saudi Arabia knows, Nigerian security operatives and intelligence unit should work with Saudi authorities to get information on this man.

We gave the terrorists too much room to breed, spread and gain capacity on our turf and expense.

Quite rabid.

stonebil:
All this, na just to frustrate PDP!

Myopic thinking

Focus on criminal political office holders, they destroy Nigeria economy and makes us a ridicule.

Saudi Arabia knows him for who he is...I pity Nigeria always treating terrorists sympathisers like statesmen.

chidiokay:
I believe that push the narrative, " hold your governors" are deliberately being mischievous understanding how centralized Nigeria structure are.

Maybe academic purposes, i fit support your what you are facing But understanding the terresterial factor of naija ... nah

From our history, it is more feasible to hold FG accountable than governors sef.

It reeks of ignorance to hold FG accountable, even if the lay men don't know, at least you understand the concept of federal structure, and you know that state governors are given allocations monthly, not holding governors to account is a disservice to the growth of states. The governors are voted into power same way president is voted in, and the governors swore an oath to the people not the president.

chidiokay:
okay buh even at that, what meaning structures are in place or going on to enable or foster discentralized power generation system.

I see that many of you usually get carried away with academia prospect of this initiatives, you easily fall for it even when the politicians you dont trust say it .. but it far beyond that

Where are the workings, Nigeria govt is making everything i learnt in school sound like gibberish to me.

whatever goes up must come down so we learn, But in Nigeria even parachute wont cum down

Your state governor have the capacity, to partner with investors on that, state governors have the funds and the capacity to encourage private investment in their state power sector.

chidiokay:
Yeah i agree Dangote refinery is boosting productive and adding emersely to our GDP.

but you see All that Tinubu did this is a big lie for the gullible, lets take it one by one

The coastal road is yet to be completed or benefited from, you can quote it as an achievement,

The tax reform bill is yet to be implemented,when we are yet to see the impact that is not an achievement yet

Local govt autonomy,🤣🤣🤣🤣 you be 10yrs old boy abi you no get eye, The highest court gave verdict since august 2024 till date which state have implemented local govt autonomy ... is lagos state, baba sope is hand picking n imposing or Osun state where local govt don shut down or Rivers Tinubu n wike is dictating how local govt must run

Finally you mentioned devolution of power, are you a " Joke" where ?? in a baba sope regime that re impose Obasa on House of rep from abuja, devolution of power where a baba sope removed a sitting governor n suspended all the political structure in a state.
You dare talk about devolution of Power in a baba sope Regime, pls dont comment until you reach 18yrs

Devolution of power sector, meaning states can provide their own power/energy systems for electricity.

Faposky95:
Wrong...
Bitterness has not still answered the question possessed.
Why build a highway to steer clear of terrorists, like they're the only threat....?

Gibberish, incoherent.

Can't you just build schools?

It's a shame...these kids go to mosques why build Islamic schools for them, instead of normal schools and training institutes.

These elders are not showing northern youths the right way.

1mansolder:
Yes Igbos don't bow for anybody.it is not in our customs and traditions to greet elders while laying on the ground.The people doing it are not less human,it is just culture and everyone should respect the culture of another.

Gibberish, respect is good for a society and people, it breeds peaceful coexistence.

Politician can meet anyone who they think has influence to mobilise support or vote.

Let North transform themselves first.

Always talking to the gallery.
