Tychost:
You have no data to prove SE and SS consume more milk and eggs, this is easily proven false by a quick google search.

It is possible that I am wrong. Can you share the results of your Google search please?

I am very much open to correction and wouldn't like to be caught sharing wrong information. Thanks in advance.

kedeojo:
keep decieving yourself that you consume more milk and egg than others. No be Abacha una dey eat pass, follow by akpu.

I have updated my original post to include the source. I used that example because I thought it was public knowledge.

I thought wrong now as I see.

What about Bayelsa generating over 26billion, is the headquarter now in Yenagoa?

Bayelsa is a region with high oil and gas activity. Did you read what you quoted to the end?

Boyewu:
Show the analysis how southeast people consume milk and egg than other regions in Nigeria.

I was referencing this stats attached below.

Okoroawusa:
Chike this your twisted explanation does not hold water. VAT is tied to productivity, purchasing power, high income, favourable business climate and the rest.

Bro, jiri ya nwayo sometimes...inugo?

Just say it's a lie. Stop patronising me with Igbo language like a tribalistic person. I don't roll that way.

yommen:
Oya, we don't actually know. Now tell us! Now! You seem to know much better. We dey await your lecture.

VATs are paid by the headquarters of the business, not necessarily the field of their business or where the highest consumption is recorded. That not withstanding, VAT is borne by the final consumer.

Take for example, Milk and Egg products. Most of the headquarters of these companies are in Lagos (possibly Ogun too), but the highest VATs on them are actually paid by the South Easterners who consume more of this, closely followed by South-South. However, the VATs remitted to the Nigerian purse through their headquarters in Lagos.

So while it counts as VAT remitted by Lagos, it was actually paid by other regions. This explains a bit of why Lagos (and possibly Ogun) have VATs that dwarves the remaining states. Another advantage would be states with high oil and gas sector activities, and government presence too.

Does that do a bit of justice?

adebowales:
yeah like something like this? Now isrealis are running away from the so called promise land! Why? Trump is really getting mad at the offenses iran is carrying out now, threatening like he always do which signal isreal losing badly, should this go on for another week, israel may be bygone, only three days devastations makes Tel Aviv looks like gaza which some isrealis were shocked that two days attack isn’t supposed to be this bad.

Get a job, dude. All these obsession as a Nigerian shows you have too much time on your hands.

Haha.. The reason for which he would give the President is different from the reason for which he would give Portable.

The President is for support/reach but Portable is a charity case.

Allen Onyema will miss you sorely. Since he founded Airpeace, you have won customer of the year, every year back to back.

adebowales:
is your brain aware of this comment? Or what do you mean by political enemies even when you see the evidence staring at you

Obsession 🤣🤣

Aren't you supposed to be busy with some Photoshopping?

Iran are fond of using such avenues as excuses to execute political enemies.

If this is one of Israel's own, trust them to hit Iran hard in styles never thought possible.

This phone did not even cost 100k when you bought it.

If nah lie, post the receipt 🤣🤣

Kushites:
Israel invaded Iran with an unprovoked attack with missiles and bombs, illegally under international law.

Who funds Hamas? Iran.

Who funds Hezbollah? Iran.

Who funds PIJ? Iran.

Maybe you don't know the meaning of 'unprovoked'.

hotwax:
Its a wreckage of israeli F35.

The problem is the F35 is as big a mothership.

Has Israel built another version of F35 as big as a super carrier jumbo jet

Dude!! 🤣🤣🤣

A huge plane this size can carry up to 3 F-35s in it sef 🤣🤣

Are you sure they didn't mean an F-355??

Keep them imprisoned for a long long time.

They're bad influence to our upcoming young ones!

UpaIweka:
You read from your ipob collegue.
Same ipob collegue no claim Tinubu as looted Lagos to oblivion so where did same Lagos get money to fix it own side of the road ?

You think you can argue senselessly to butress your foolish point.

How did Tinubu come into this argument, Sorry? What language are you even using??

You are not qualified to use the phrase 'argue senselessly', especially if you can't even spell colleague. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Go back to pre-K.

It's 'Upper' Iweka, by the way.

UpaIweka:
Go to the x account user and argue your point..

That's so weird. You brought a post from a user like you, if it's not yourself, and used it to make a claim. Someone countered you, and you're redirecting; why using an evidence you have no faith in?

Also, Dapo Abiodun is the governor of Ogun State no? Did we not read recently that the Lagos-Ogun road is only good on the Lagos side? That's a road from the commercial hub of Nigeria o.

You people are major jokers. Alex Otti's impact is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind. The one you are presenting has his administration always in the news for terrible roads.

If Iran put in as much effort into this war as they do in propaganda, they'd have at least done some damage.

80% of their top commanders all wiped out and all they have to show is 3 out of 150 missiles hitting civilians and lots of news reports, while the Israeli air force are parading undetered in Iranian airspace.

Jokers.

1. Check the first picture.

2. Check this picture I just posted.

3. Confirm the date on this picture.

4. Say nothing else and move on.

Sibrah:
Provide renewable energy to

20,000 households at N1.95m per unit

OR

40,000 small businesses at N975k per unit.

Now that's a very progressive line of thought. 👍🏾👍🏾

WASTE OR PRIORITY? 🇳🇬

The Nigerian government recently spent ₦39 billion to renovate the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Abuja.

But here’s the shocking part:
The ICC originally cost just ₦240 million to build in 1991. Even after adjusting for inflation, this renovation cost is still disproportionately high — and deeply concerning.

What could ₦39 billion have done instead for the people of Abuja and beyond?

👉🏾 Build 100+ Fully Equipped Primary or Secondary Global Standard Schools (At ₦350 million each)

👉🏾 Upgrade Infrastructure in Public Schools
Over 100 classrooms renovated, toilets fixed, and learning materials provided

👉🏾 Upgrade & Equip 30+ Primary Healthcare Centres to highest standard (At ₦1 billion per centre)

👉🏾 Provide Clean Water Access to, at least, 300,000+ Nigerians (With boreholes and water projects in urban and rural communities)

📌 This is not just about numbers: It’s about priorities.
Instead of investing in education, healthcare, and water, which are the essentials for a better life, billions are being spent on buildings while citizens lack the basics.

It's time to hold leaders accountable and demand better use of our collective resources.
Let governance work for the people, not just for prestige, clout, and self-aggrandisement.

AdesegunSanni89:
in the mind of igbos. Can Obi endorse any candidate to win any election in Nigeria?

The ones that have endorsed, how has life been for the people they govern?

It is only desperation or idiocy that will make a person keep doing things the same way and expect different results.

Peter Obi has no business playing second fiddle to anyone. The youths desire him because they want a tomorrow that assures their efforts are crowned; he alone shows that drive to make tomorrow better from them. The old guard keeps frolicking with the old guards and their children; all of who make up less than 1% of the Nigerian population.

nairalanda1:
IN saner climes, they have good stuff, because they PAY for it. Nothing like selling oil and sharing money monthly as we do in Nigeria. .

I don't know about you bro, but I pay my taxes. That is a basic civic duty and gulps about 20% of my income, which is close to what the average american pays. That does not include property tax and I don't get any tax free income for personal care, spouse support, dependents or education. That's also how saner climes tax their citizens, No?

In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is King. Even if this number is stupendously low compared to the minimum expectations, they're possibly 100x better than their closest competitor in Nigeria. So, more grease to their elbow as they seek to improve.

That's how sad we are as a country.

Foremost Human Rights Activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, took to X to share his experience travelling along this route, following his arrival at Owerri Airport.

He landed at the Owerri Airport yesterday and proceeded to board public transportation from Control in Owerri, Imo State, heading to Asaba in Delta State. Along the journey, he observed a troubling pattern: Police and military checkpoints were stationed at intervals, and at each of these stops, uniformed officers were extorting money from commercial drivers.

According to the drivers, this was a daily routine. If payments were not made, drivers could face prolonged delays, sometimes lasting for hours. He was initially skeptical, but as the journey progressed, he witnessed the system of extortion firsthand. He documented parts of this experience on video, with the intention of releasing the footage the following morning (tomorrow).

He noted that the scale of this extortion is significant, with the potential to generate millions of naira on that route alone. Yet, despite the scale and consistency of the problem, the relevant authorities have failed to take decisive action to curb it. This unchecked extortion, he pointed out, is one of the factors driving up the cost of transportation in the region.

In light of his experience, he strongly recommended that the police and military leadership conduct a sting operation, beginning from the Asaba Head Bridge through Imo State, and then onward to Rivers State, to dismantle these extortion rings and restore accountability and dignity to the security checkpoints along that corridor.

Harrison is renowned for helping victims of police extortion and brutality get justice across many years to date. His security outfit, HarryTech Security, has also been involved in the laudable recovery of stolen properties, irrespective of their location in Nigeria.

SoftSport:
Big kudos to president Tinubu for honouring prof Nwosu, well deserved and long overdue, but let’s be real, naming the INEC HQ after him would be a great mistake; we can celebrate heroes without turning national institutions into personal monuments.

Is this selective amnesia or the default settings triggered by the name? For reference, you didn't have a problem with this or is the Army not a national institution?

SoftSport:
President Tinubu deserves commendation for spearheading these impactful projects that address critical national needs, from military housing to technological innovation and education. Naming the infrastructures after him isn’t out of place, as it reflects his administration’s commitment to these milestones. Ultimately, what matters most is the lasting benefit these projects bring to Nigerians.

I don't understand this government.

You decided to address National Assembly instead, your choice unprovoked.

Peter Obi decided to address the nation, and your sycophants are talking up parallel government.

Take responsibility not?

I have a student I teach. He has this bare patch on his head; his classmates call it fingerprint sensor. 🤣🤣

It's a tricky thing telling the learners to stop because they damned well will continue seeing the attention it's giving them.
