Many of you guys still underestimate the investment of Yoruba in Lagos lol

80% of Yoruba wealth in Nigeria is in Lagos State, many Yoruba from Oyo, Ondo, Ogun Osun, Kogi, KWARA invested heavily in Lagos to make Lagos what it is today, so even if all Igbo pull out of Lagos the vacuum will be fill by other tribes or neighbouring countries.

100years from now Lagos will still be the most industrial place in Nigeria. Lagos foundation is unshakable even In industrialization today no state in Nigeria can beat Ogun state, even Anambra can't match the industrial capacity of Oyo state. It is all futile endeavor.

Ofodirinwa:
Nigerian governors are full of stupidity.
Imagine you struggle, build a business from nothing, that business opens a factory, it grows from your hard work, you open your second factory. Then one mumu governor that arrive yesterday will come, cut a ribbon infront of your factory and their lackeys will report that the governor 'commissioned' your factory.

telkevog:
So the thuggery continues, right?

Lagos is a former FCT and British colony and was never developed with Yoruba taxes but oil money.

Let's compare our tax haven with Ogun.

MadamExcellency:
Stealing by the Government to enrich the politicians while keeping the middle class and average Haruna, Dike and Tope impoverished is the definition of high IGR.

Socialist and Liberal Governments are known to tax the people and corporations heavily while Republican and Conservative Governments cut taxes. Conservative and Republican Governments substrate donations to charity and schools from taxable income. These are different policies by different governments.

A high IGR is the opposite of a good government in Nigeria.

IamAtikulate:
IGR = Taxes

Anambra is a tax haven, in case you don't.

Again, SE leaders are more economically sound than their SW counterpart.

For instance, Alex Otti recently said that "Taxes are government share of the prosperity it creates."

Do you really understand what that means?

Have you wondered why SE Governors, especially Abia and Anambra keep lowering taxes?

You won't understand because you guys suck at economics.

Keep celebrating IGR which is not an economic indicator while your debts keep mounting.

You claim to generate the highest IGR in the country yet SW has the highest debt ratio.

It doesn't make sense.

If Anambra State government is tax-obsessed like Ogun and SW Governors, only Onitsha Main Market will generate the whole if whatever IGR Ogun gets.

You are making noise because of 120 billion.

FYI, 12 million daily transaction happens at Onitsha Main Market. The market annual transactions sits at around $3 billion, with 40% of this circulating as unbanked transaction.

You can verify these claims with a simple Google search.

If Anambra government taxes just 1% of these transaction, it'll generate $30 million annually, which is approximately 21 billion naira.

If government taxes 5%, it'll generate 105 billion from the market alone.

But Anambra has 48 markets.

So, trade and commerce in Anambra can generate more than Ogun IGR.

If you are underrating trade, then look at the evidence below.

Trade is the third largest component of Nigerian GDP, far ahead of manufacturing

otosa:
But don't forget that Nigeria systems is not working in that way, the more you look the less you see.

1999 & 2003 elections: Southeast voted for Obasanjo. Memory loss at this age? Nawa.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
So Igbos have voted Obasanjo in the past,when would Yoruba ever support an Igbo man for President? After using and dumping Okorocha, and Umahi

PDJT:
-So this man is from Ikere Ekiti? That place is an epitome of poverty. When I last went there, the only storey building was a mud-house built by a photographer from Benin.

-Yoruber people should stop abandoning their villages. What I saw there was an eyesore. No toilets in most of the "houses". School self mchew!
