I don't really know why states are crying

The back bone of any government around the world is property tax

There are over 250,000 houses in each of these stated in city n towns

Valued at a minimum of 10 million to 500 million

Say average of 35 million

A property tax of 1% value of house is not bad 3% is ideal.. So let's go to 1.5%



That's easy 131 billion

But once u do this know u must work,
Know street have to be paved
Streets have to be clean
Roads must work
Know propaganda of tribe and religion won't work

Maybe these are the reason they don't go for it since they have enough to steal but not to work

You are funny

IGR is useless if the same people generating it are stealing and wasting it away. Nigeria does not have a revenue generation problem, we have sensible expenditure problem. If you like tax every living and non-living things in your state to death and generate the highest IGR, if same wasteful spenders and criminals are managing it, it becomes completely useless to the citizens.

How come the states with the highest IGR in the country are not the best in infrastructure development??

Sadly true, the part of taking care of the girl's family seems to be the worst of it.

Simply by marrying, a man takea care of his own nuclear family, extended family and now the wife's family. If he fails in any of these he's still seen as a failure.

Just small play Nathaniel don rush go court
Nathaniel is a gospel singer, he's expected to promote the teachings of Jesus Christ which has it's foundation in forgiveness and prayers to one's adversaries.

Some day someone will accuse you of rape, wreck whatever career you think you have and laugh about it.

Do you know how grave that accusation is to his Gospel ministry? Stop looking for Nairaland likes at the expense of people's lives

pacificom:
Look as far as I know, there were lots of individuals who acquired huge land in Abuja through inappropriate process during Jonathan regime. There were report of corrupt heads in FCDA then who were just selling lands illegally. It was when former president Buhari came that they clean up that department and seize back most of those lands.
Now, if igbo high chief has acquired his land in an unlawful manner, he need to put things right. My love for wike is neutral, but please don't blame the minister for doing his work. It is purely an official matters, not a tribal one.

Many of you will wreck every common sense in you through deceit. So fake acquisition happened during Jonathan but not during Buhari' tome. And you have already concluded this land in question was acquired through wrong means. I bet you didn't even listen to the man's complain

Image laundry that adds zero value to Nigeria.

What's the essence of this thread that's moved to front page with just 5 comments?

Next thing, they will hide my comment.

These political jobbers

That road has been too narrow and deadly. Only God knows the number of UNN students that have died on that narrow road.

In just 9months, Corn munchers no longer liter the Internet with pictures of Aba bad roads, is God not wonderful?

adamusuleiman1:
Like I mentioned in a similar thread.

Looking deep into the data:

That data is useless without the landmass. With the landmass included. Percentages are relative to something.

South East is 28,983km², 15.6% is 4,605km² I.e, only 4,605km ² of SE is built.

South West is 78,505Km ², 11.65% is 9,280Km ², I.e only 9,280Km ² of SW is built, thats 102% more built than SE.

South south is 85,315km ², 6.77% is 5,641km ²,I.e only 5,641km ² of SS is built, that’s 23% more built than SE.

North central is 231,677Km ², 2.99% is 6,927Km ², I.e only 6,927km ² of NC is built, that’s 50% more built than SE.

Northwest is 223,150km², 1.72% is 3,838km², I.e only 3,838km² of NW is built, that’s 17% less built than SE.

Northeast is 289,421km², 0.85% is 2,460km², I.e only 2,460km² of NE is built, that’s 47% less built than SE.

Therefore, Southwest, Northcentral & SouthSouth are far ahead of other regions.

Southeast, Northwest and Northeast need to buckle up

Next time when they are talking about how developed Europe is, tell them Africa has massive land in Sahara desert.

Development and builtup cities has.npthing to do with landmass otherwise Bayelsa state should be at the top.

Yes, it was Obi that told us only Muslim Muslim can win election for South West. Old men with infant memories. They think this is 1990 where they can twist the narrative as they like

youngrichnigga:
I don't support APC but this ain't a recent News, why bring this up now........what's the agenda

This is a recent news, been flying over the media since morning

Demystification of Elrufai

And no word on the exposed custom officers.

The journalist has become the criminal while the smugglers are now the victims. Welcome to Nigeria comedy show

South East with 5 states beating other regions with 6 states hands down. Abeg give Igbos their well deserved flowers.

Klass99:
When I first felt the desire to be child free and not have children I was in my 20s. Several people told me the feeling would change or I would change my mind as time goes by.

As the years went by my desire didn't wane neither did my mind change. The desire only grew stronger and my mind more convinced that motherhood is not for me.

I have no regrets so far and right now I honestly can't see myself regretting the choice. Home ownership and companionship with a good man, matter to me more than biological children do.

Will the man be OK with the decision too? Will you still consider the man to be "good" if he decides to seek for children or will your companionship feelings change?

They defended same Buhari for 8 years and called us wailers.

Now they got to Aso Rock and are criticising same Buhari as the worst and expect us to keep quiet.

Someone should help me define hypocrisy

Finally, no one hears people insult Igboland because of Aba roads on Nairaland, God bless Otti.

Aba's image has been sorted in just 9 months of good leadership. It shows Nigeria's global image can also be sorted quickly with good leadership

Enculer2:
You got their strategy.

Thanks for quoting me, they have hidden my comment

Where then is left for the Island axis? You have almost covered the entire Lekki Ajah axis. This matter is a big turnoff to serious buyers.

This is the time to think elsewhere

It is finished, a new kidnap industry has been created, Nigeria Bureau of statistics should take note.

Just imagine if the govt itself that makes a law banning payment of ransom turns around to say "it doesn't matter if ransom was paid" what is the hope of the common man if he gets kidnapped?

May they have no Mamoud.

This is when the power that be remembers the network can be turned off.

Congrats

When did they sew them this Aso ebi? Does it mean someone now has to have a standing contract for kidnapped kids Aso Ebi, this country is really a comedy zone

Starboytwo:
Dish washer
House help
Road sweeper
Cement carrier to third floor
Factory worker etc.

Out of 10 Nigerians in jand, you will see 9 doing these useless work.

He pay me make I no work Dan to dey clean a useless rascist old white woman yansh and mentally converting my money to Naira to feel better.

That mental conversion sum it up. Even though many remain "poor" in UK but mentally rich jn Nigeria, what a life

Once Bandits strike in the North, the next thing I see on Nairaland is IPOB news

Obi did not borrow, Soludo has not borrowed, so Obiano alone accumulated this kind of debt for Anambra and still spent Obi's savings?

Makinde is no longer seen with Wike

Okeona:
Do you expect it to jump down to 200 overnight? Appreciate the gradual development.

But you jumped to 1700 overnight

Cosbyrich:
Anambrafirs.tson,instead of sleeping,you are dick measuring with people that are better than you in most ramifications,your benefactors.


It is migrants like your people that increased the number of the SW.
SW still remains the most educated with the most lawyers,doctors,engineers,ICT people etc.
To crown it all,SW has 3 times the number of professors that the SE has according to NUC.
Even the North has overtaken the SE in professorship.

where is your source, stop regurgitating old men fables, this is social.media age

See how badly damaged we have become. We are now to celebrate naira at over 1400 to a dollar as improvement

E be like say dem wan finally release Nnamdi Kanu

I love this game of chess

FreeStuffsNG:
Labour Party was known before you guys went there. They had produced a Governor before 2023.

SDP will implode like LP too when it comes to who will be vp candidate between the two strange political bedfellows.
God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Labour Party had 4k votes in 2019 but over 6million votes in 2023 presidential election after all the INEC magic.

Going to school is different from ability to read and write. Stop arguing blindly
