coupled with bad governance, high IGR is a bad indices.

What's your point?

Christlike01:
What they're talking about is not valid,come on,man!

This isn’t rocket science: the southern states have more diverse economies, including sectors like oil and gas, manufacturing, and services. In contrast, the northern economy relies heavily on agriculture, which generally generates less revenue. Southerners tend to be more prosperous and possess greater purchasing power, resulting in higher sales in the south compared to the north. It's not just about population; that’s where you’re mistaken! It’s about the ability to purchase, which greatly favors the Southerners, while the Northerners have only themselves to blame for their situation. The region is mired in retrogressive ideologies that contribute to poverty and underdevelopment.

Can you compare the purchasing power of Swedes and Nigerians despite the significant population difference between Sweden and Nigeria? The point I’m making is that companies achieve more sales in the south than in the north, leading to higher VAT (IGR) revenue from the south. This imbalanced arrangement is not sustainable; everyone must consume what they produce—regionalism! This will foster healthy competition among the regions for the overall development of Nigeria.

The era of "monkey dey work, baboon dey chop" must end; it’s holding us back.

It seems you're not getting the point.

You people from the west like deceiving yourself. Travel and see

I've been to Enugu state before, the state is a civil servant state with nothing meaningful going on there. There's massive poverty in Enugu state.

Again you don't have sense.

You have not been to Enugu, and anyone coming to your state doesn't mean that your environment is better. Enugu as a state capital trumps Abeokuta by far. saying that Ogun under the fraudster Dapo Abiodun is one of the best run states is the height of hypocrisy and sheer foolishness from you.

Ogun state is better than Enugu, that's why we have Igbos relocating, living and working in Ogun state in large numbers compared to Yorubas going to Enugu.

A lot of you love arguing blindly. On what basis is Enugu better than Abeokuta?

iwaeda:
We can see it.

Yes, it's miles ahead of Abia, Enugu, Abia, Imo and Ebonyi

This is because companies remit VAT using the location of their headquarters and tax office and not where the services and goods are consumed.

Is the above their "valid point" ? That's laughable,you know ? So Northerners are consuming alcohol and that's why they are taking the largest share from its revenue,right ? How on earth would any company site its headquarters in a location where it is recording low sales and patronage ? The truth is that Southerners have stronger purchasing powers and that's why about 75% of IGR comes from the South.

It is only the northern elites - politicians, traditional rulers, military and security chiefs - ex and serving-, business men (with privileged backgrounds),and few others that are rich;the vast majority of northerners are extremely poor!

Let's face it; the Northerners only want the loopsided arrangement of reaping where they did not sow to continue! They enjoy destroying alcohols -bottles and contents- in the north but these same northerners take the largest shares from its sales revenue! No be hypocrisy and greed be that ? Wether they like it or not, it's regionalism,where everyone can develop at their own pace,or "to your tents, O Israel" !

Is it only alcohol we get VAT from? What they are talking about is valid. What they are complaining about should be look into by the lawmakers, and the lawmakers should also make sure states practicing shari'a shouldn't get 1 Kobo from VAT gotten from alcoholic drink

Alot of Nigerians have travelled out as in Japa to hustle and make things better for themselves especially now that T pain has messed up the country.
I have asked them if they intend coming back and most of them told me never will they come back to settle in Nigeria.
A close relative of mine who is aged and just came back from Canada told me that she can't stay in Canada because the cold there is too much that on the last day of her flight back to Nigeria she felt she won't survive as the cold that hit her was as if very hot pepper entered her body.
She told me that she does not even understand their hospital that during her stay in Canada you will barely even see Doctors as they will be communicating with you via WhatsApp call that unless it is emergency will they attend to you and if they even attend to you they will tell you no drugs for cold that you are okay.
My question is at what age should people that japa come back to Naija ?

As for me, it's when I want to stop hustling

Mrfixiit:
Some states like Ogun with high IGR but nothing to show for it. I can't live in Ogun for even a week

Ogun is miles ahead of Enugu. I doubt there's any part of Ogun state Igbos won't be found in large numbers living and hustling because of the better environment.

Ogun state is one of the best run state in Nigeria.

Not even one state from the south east is on the list, they can't survive without federal allocation, but they will open their mouth and be saying sheet about other regions/state.

I don't expect Channels to be posting this kind of foolish statement. this is not the first time there will be blackouts in the north because of saboteurs who destroyed power line.

False information by Sahara reporter

Allotrope69:
Firstly, I apologize for putting this on this Section.


I would like to ask, how many periods a Mathematics teacher is supposed to have per day to enable him have time to Mark students classwork and assignment.

I'm asking this because I'm already losing my cool. I work like an elephant and earn like an ant.
I teach JSS1-3 Mathematics and Teach Economics for SS1-2. I am having to teach Econs everyday in each of this SS classes. Most times, I have 6-7 periods per day. At times 8 periods. As a result of this, I can't mark students note completely cos you give classwork and assignment every blessed day, and the next day u have to teach first thing in the morning and Also do same routine.

In a day, you should have one or two period. I'm sure you're working at a private school

They are not talking about that, go through the OP article again, they are making a valid point

LandMann:
They have made their opinion known and if Tinubu uses the clowns in NASS to force the bill through the northern governors will not support its implementation.

How can a sane person say this kind of thing

Omo, a lot of people with low IQ, too full this countey

Villagesquare:
It is unfortunately that many Nigerians are always judging some cases from emotional standpoint.
First the HOR member choice of words are very crude and cruel. Probably he has anger issues and fails to control himself. The character he exhibited is not worthy of an honourable member of the green chamber.

Secondary the Bold Guy is seen to be very rude and lacks proper Customer care approach to business deals. If this type of people manages your business for You, they will drive away your customers with their rude attitude to customers relationship and approach.

So both of them are quite wrong but now you know an average Nigerian sees any politician as a potential enemy so You know the side that will win in the Court of Public Justice.

How much did he pay you?

masterfactor:
The bolt driver was rude. That rep fall hand, you suppose collect him phone, call your security men to give him the beating of his life, after that, send the fool out of your house, without evidence the fool got nothing on you and if the press men come, you tell them your political enemies are trying to frame you up, All press, including social media will calm down, las las the bolt driver go dey alright.

You will soon get this kind of treatment, no worry
