The main hypocrites here is southwest when Buhari started this nonsense nepotism southwest supported him out of selfness.
If even when Buhari did his own , he carried the whole northerner regions along.

Now it's the turn of the south, southwest out of the selfish and greed took everything to their region.
I wish other southern regions will have sense and pay you guys in your coins.

Even the oil that you mentioned is it southwest that own the oil?

Very hypocritical and greedy tribe

dederocs:
Hypocrites any small thing dem shout...how much is north contributing to Nigeria?

Who have the oil?

Who have the highest VAT?

If north had all these things they would never agree to share with southern Nigeria the way we share with them.

Full resources control now.

Don't mind those hypocritists God will continue to disgrace them

overall90:
Oga nobody said IGR is nothing.
The point is that you can't claim to have the biggest IGR and at the same time be the most indebted.
I remember how you people used to lie during Aregbesola that Osun IGR is bigger than that of the whole south East but the moment oil price dropped and allocation reduced,we know what happened.

Yes because their gave her peace to concentrate on her studies unlike your people in the west

atobs4real:
Congratulations Omoluabi
You went to an unknown land to be the best and not just the best but the first.
Well done.

Don't mind those hypocrisy

christejames:
But I thought my fellow Omoluabi don't live in the land of the Omo Nna?





Ronu miscreants should travel and see!

No body is harassing her or telling her to go back to her region. if it were in the region of the self acclaimed accommodators they won't let her have peace. South West have really use media to deceive other Nigerians.

God will punish them for their hypocrisy.

When Buhari did his own he carried the whole northerner region along, it reached southern turn only southwest carry everything to their region ,is that not selfishness and greediness?

Racoon:
Buhari did his own but they kept quiet. Now Tinubu is doing his own now. The seed of discord has long been sown. Earnestly pray another fella would never try this evil on this nation.

Anambra is among the top five , Ebonyi is still lacking behinde and needs to work hard

IGBOPROMISE1:
What of Anambra and Ebonyi?

That's what you see when unprepared person forced himself into undeserved position

State of States 2025: Enugu emerges likeliest state to survive without FAAC allocations — BudgIT

•Lagos, Abia, Anambra, Kwara complete the top 5

Enugu State has emerged as Nigeria’s most fiscally viable subnational government, according to BudgIT’s 2025 State of States ranking.

The report showed that Enugu State is the most probable state to finance its operating expenses exclusively from internally generated revenue, IGR, and independent of allocations from the Federation Account Allocation Committee, FAAC.


However, whereas Enugu, Lagos, Abia, Anambra, and Kwara are the five top states likeliest to survive independent of FAAC receipts, Yobe, Benue, Jigawa, Kogi, and Imo are ranked as the least viable states currently, according to the report. The findings are based on Index A, which measures states’ ability to meet recurrent expenditure obligations using only IGR. The research methodology for Index A was the ratio of operating expenses to the state’s IGR. According to BudgIT, states that rank higher on this index exhibit greater financial autonomy and long-term viability.

“States that perform strongly on Index A have comparatively limited dependence on FAAC allocations and thus possess greater viability if they were to theoretically exist as independent entities,” the report stated.

The rankings show that Enugu State scored 0.68, implying that 68 percent of the state’s IGR would have catered to its operating expenses. The scores of the remaining four of the top five states are Lagos State (0.83), Abia State (1.56), Anambra (1.66), and Kwara (1.73).

In 2024, Rivers, Lagos, Ogun, Anambra, and Cross River made the top five rankings, thus the 2025 report represents for Enugu State a quantum leap in improved revenue collection and expenditure management and a major score for the Governor Peter Mbah-led administration.

Although Mbah met the state’s IGR at N30bn in May 2023, he ramped it up to N37bn by the close of the year and scaled it up to N180.05bn in 2024 by introducing technology, including e-payment, to plug leakages and sharp practices in revenue, as well as by widening the tax net to reduce tax and revenue evasion.

Meanwhile, whereas Enugu and Lagos lead in IGR ranking, fewer states meet the 50% threshold, as BudgIT’s 2025 State of States report shows that the number of states generating enough revenue to cover their operating expenses has reduced compared to 2024.

In 2024, Rivers (121.26 percent) and Lagos (118.39 percent) were the only two subnationals that generated more than enough IGR to cover their recurrent expenditure. Rivers is visibly missing in the 2025 analysis.

Thus, in 2025, this coveted group now includes Lagos (120.87 percent) and Enugu (146.68 percent), with Enugu taking the number one spot.

According to BudgIT, 28 states still depend significantly on federal transfers and other external inflows to fund their operations.

On Index A1, which measures IGR growth, Enugu again leads the ranking, followed by Bayelsa, Abia, Osun, and Kano. These states recorded the strongest momentum in boosting internally generated revenues during the 2024 fiscal year.

At the bottom, Kebbi and Yobe recorded negative IGR growth, while Ebonyi, Bauchi, and Benue also posted weak performances. This represents a notable improvement from 2023, when seven states recorded negative growth.

“While it may be too early to celebrate, as the uptick could partly reflect increased inflows from federation transfers, it is a much better performance than the previous year,” BudgIT noted.

How did you know that Anambra is the most developed state in the east? Is like you haven't been to Enugu?

0bjpmb:
Anambra is the most developed Igbo state. As for the IGR, what Enugu presented is bogus.

Obi get sense, he is not like you guys. He will wait until government officially confirm it before he reacts

yarimo:
Did he wait for TINUBU before he react to other issues? You guys must get sense in this nairaland by fire by force 😆

Tinubu has not come out to confirm the Alleged coup. When he does Peter Obi will react to it

yarimo:
Peter obi is yet to react or condemn the invasion of timi Sylva house by the army oo 🤣🤣

If you like keep fooling yourselves i just gave you my humble advice

buckeyemedia:
Because to you MEND & IPOB is the same thing abi?

Nigeria will build skyscraper stadium

greatiyk4u:
Nigeria my country see what are mates are thinking about while we celebrate prices of food stuffs slightly coming down.

This cro.ked in power has finished this country

North started west supported out of selfishness. I hope when the table turn to other regions the west will not start their propaganda and label it Igbo agenda

This one want to starve his people to death in the name of tribalism

madridguy:
No need to apologize. Yoruba should prioritize their health first by buying from Yoruba stores/traders.

Stop buying from fake sellers. Buy your medicines from only Yoruba pharmacy.

Buy your food items from only Yoruba and Hausa sellers.

Nigeria institutions are dead no thanks to the politicians the only option we are left with is to hold them accountable with social media tooks.
See something say something.

This one will think his brain is still working.

Saturnalia:
Igbos should think? What exactly are they thinking about?

Shebi they said Lagos is No Man’s Land? They should just go to Alausa and chase out the Governor and his cabinet members.

They should take the laws into their hands since Lagos was developed with the resources they brought from the South East.

Those who refuse to learn from history are likely to repeat past mistakes.

Nnamdi Azikwe and Ojukwu tried to annex Lagos but we all know how that futile exercise ended.

What is this one saying? Lagos what built with the nation wealth and still being built with the nation wealth and bo tribe has the right to tell any Nigerian will to reside or build his house.

What you guys is doing is terrorism and would pay for it in due time .

madridguy:
Yoruba don't share any land border with you so no one invited you here, if the Lagos government are doing this, other Yoruba governors should follow the same pattern.

Even a mad man will not make this kind comment you made. On what basis would Tinubu won the election?

His party failed woefully during the last administration and he didn't participate in presidential debate either did he allow himself to be interrogated on his programs by the voters

So tell me how a sane person would have voted for Tinubu?

Ayo25:
Always sounding like a broken record.

I am a Nigerian and I know that Bola Tinubu won the 2023 elections fair and square.

They attack you but you don't know it ,for them south south and south east are the same .
When you hear them mentioned Igbos they refer to both region

A south southerner who miraculously became present via Yaraduas death



And south westerners ganged up to dethrone him



I’ve been saying all these to every rivers brother and every other south southerner that these people don’t like u



The fact they don’t attack us online like they do to south easterners doesn’t mean it’s love



Wait till our oils dries up and we don’t power the nation anymore that’s when you’ll see their true colors



You’ll see them here shouting God bless the SW and SS


And I keep asking what’s the correlation between SS and SW?


Bro we ain’t brothers or allies so STFU

Tinubu legacies at work, Ndi IGR

They forgot to add breathing tax that one will generate more money for them since everybody breaths.

Congratulations to Oyo people your IGR is about to increase

You guys should simply mention the amount you plan to set aside for imbizzlement and stop beating around the bush

Brother don't God will see you through. Those supporting this evil act when surely experience it one day

With everything happening in this country and the lack of public outcry or condemnation, it’s beginning to seem as though there are only a few reasonable people left. For example, in Lagos State, the government—rather than fulfilling its duty to provide shelter for its citizens—arrives in the dead of night with thugs to demolish people’s homes, blatantly disregarding court orders.

I am beginning to think every man should be for himself and government should be scrapped and tax collection should be stopped let's know we are in animal kingdom

I wish those fooling themselves will read this

Even if it is , two can play the games not only Tinubu and reno have monopoly of characters assassination
