There's no growth there.

Four years ago, $1 = N470
Therefore, N70 billion = $149 million

Today, $1 = N1,600
Therefore, N147.8 billion = $92 million


So, the state actually DECLINED from $149 million to $92 million in 4 years, recording a mega loss of $57 million.

Don't allow them deceive you. The state didn't do well.

The same argument holds for the 5 East states which Ogun State's IGR dusted. That means the 5 Eastern states are not doing well too based on your analysis of the Naira/Dollar deterioration.

mrvitalis:
Firstly I said almost half IMO GDP


IMO don't have any gas industry... The two were just completed this year and haven't started production

IMO has gas reserves yes, but gas industry not yet but soon... IMO GDP comes from its hospitality industry mostly

Once the gas industry comes up IMO GDP would grow by another 50% minimum

IGR and uses.. - even with the increased IGR please what development index is Ogun doing better than IMO... Please tells us

Travel through Ogun State and trace their structural development for the past 10 years and you will see what their increased IGR has provided for them, greater than what has been achieved in Imo State within that period.

[quote author=mrvitalis post=132642914][/quote]So how does Imo's N8.45Tn GDP translates to twice of Ogun's N5.61Tn? Imo is only 34% above Ogun, though we all know this is because of Imo's extensive gas deposit industry.

However Ogun's greater IGR provides usable funds to their government than Imo higher GDP will ever do, since Imo gas deposit belongs to the federation and not only to the Imo people.

mrvitalis:
IMO GDP is almost twice Ogun

GDP and GDP per capita is what is used to judge an economy, there is no where in the world IGR is used to judge economy... That's that

If Ogun with half IMO GDP decides to over tax it's people to make 10x IMO IGR thats their business

But the question should be with the improved IGR is there any developmental metrics Ogun is better than the likes of IMO and Anambra with far far lower IGR?

Access to education? Access to health?
Infant mortality? Literacy rate?
Good roads?

So I think the citizens of Ogun should be massively protesting this rip off not celebrating it

Anyone can claim anything on the social media, even though it is a blatant lie. So bring out the evidence that Imo GDP is twice the size of Ogun (with all the industries doting its region), then we will believe you.

Read the story before you comment

Read read read. Nothing connects this to Nigeria at all. The 3 people whose mail in ballots were affected will get new ballots and vote

Read people

Why are you forcing us to read the epistle, the headline has captured everything, and we are satisfied enough to comment

US presidential contestants are starting to copy Nigerian politicians. Evil companions corrupt good manners.

Sack this failure of a man!

I have met irate customers on many occasions and with a very simple technique turned them into very very loyal customers that never ever fail to send me Xmas bouquet .

When you get your business to the billion naira turnover, you will know that customer is king.

Let the same scenario happen to a customer care staff or marketers of a tier 1 bank and see different approach to solving problems.

Fortunately for him, he is not a "customer care staff or marketers of tier nonsense banks" so he does not need to lick the feet of your hero before serving him as you implied. And thank God, your hero has profusely tendered his unreserved public apology to the person he offended, which I know your pride will not allow you to do if it was you.

richiemcgold:
Ondo people are too loyal to APC, yet there's nothing to show for it in terms of economic and infrastructural developments.

Ondo State people are not loyal to any party. Every different hues of party have ruled the state, from AD to PDP to LP and now to APC. When we see any person we trust, we vote for them. But the present crop of politicians in all the parties in the state are birds of the same feather, and untrustworthy. So there is no good choice among them all.

Aiyedatiwa is bad, with no convincing developmental vision for the state, except to be using the state money, distributing it to all politicians to secure his victory. Agboola of PDP has a bad image as a careless person arising from his erratic behaviours when he was Akeredolu's Dep. Guv. As for the rest of the contestants, they are mostly unpopular.

Yoruba and tribalism, 5and 6 that's why they don't have sense

Yet they are ruling you. When are you moving out?

Mrs Kemi Badenoch said she wouldn't want Britain to be like Nigeria she ran away from? CORRECT. TRUTH


Mrs Kemi Badenoch said living in Nigeria, she had tales of horror, with screams of neighbors every night being attacked, leading to fears whether their apartment could be the next. CORRECT. TRUTH.

So what's Femi Fani Kayode's grouse against Mrs Badenoch? It's either Kayode is seeking attention or he wants the truth about Nigeria remain buried in Nigeria.

Do you hear screams of your neighbours being attacked every night in your street? If not, then you should know that Badenoch is lying through her teeth, and has no right maligning us Nigerians.

This FFK must certainly be high on something everytime with his uncultured mouth.

comrChris:
So nobody can drop streaming link?

Download football apps on Google store. Many of them are now so good that they are driving DSTV from Nigeria cable market.

Chelsea put in another one mek my mind touch ground.

Game still on, we are still good to win with the present zeal of the players.

SocialJustice:
Nobody is enjoying. The rich can't eat as they used to especially the fast food and order in crew. Food that used to be 4k is now 13k.

Na true o. I wanted to buy chicken and chips from Chicken Republic two months ago and was told it was 7k, and I ran. The same size I used to buy N1,800 at most before.

I watched the match, and the US team were technically better than the Nigerian team, so they deserve the victory.

Same tactics Fayose used to loot the future of Ekiti state.

Fayose, though not my man, is still the best performing governor in Ekiti State till date in terms of infrastructural construction.

SKhanmi:
Enter ijebu-ode and you will leave with a downcast feeling, that place is in perpetual disarray/poverty. Spits!

We shouldn’t be applauding govt leaders for doing the basics required of their job roles

Liar!!

Ijebu Ode is a cool city.

Spits to all hateful Liars!

Tallesty1:
Have you been to the East on Mondays?

Pictures don't lie.

Audio achievements. Not reflected in the woeful economic degradation of the commoners.

Tallesty1:
I don't understand the obsession with sit at home in the South East.

It's just on Mondays right?


Edo, kwara, lagos and some other states adopted a three day work week due to Tinubu's harsh economic policies.

So while Igbos sit at home only on Mondays, Tinubu has forced civil servants to sit at home twice in a week.

Igbos work 4 days in a week, your people work 3 days in a week but your obsession is with Igbos?

Madness

But during those non working days in Edo, Kwara and Lagos States, are your brothers in Benin, Ilorin and Mile 2 not opening their boutique, electronic and spare parts shops in those states? But can they dare open those shops in the East during sit@home days?

The Igbos are choosing the indolent ways of life every week out of foolishness and self hatred, thereby injuring their own wellbeing.

And I thought they were the wisest among the tribes in Nigeria, but by following the dictates of a single inconsequential man in absentia, and his set of inland thugs, now I know this is far from the truth.

just2endowed:
I wonder why you guys think tinubu sniff drug. He was only charge for moving money for drug cartel. He didn't posses or sniff drug.

Wasting your time trying to educate unredeemable haters.

Edo go hear am. The goons are now in charge, with Don Oshio, the magician, directing the state heist.

What a tragedy!

Win or lose, Chelsea is proving to be a team to be reckoned with or feared in this season. The team is solid, with goal hungry and never-say-die players.

NobleStag007:
He's not striker nor winger. He's just like Lampard. We should not be expecting much goals from him

Cole Palmer is Chelsea's future, believe in him.

If care is not taken Chelsea is going to chop more penalty.
