Very soon, they will start comparing Lagos to Enugu. Lol. When they are part of people contributing to the success of Lagos. But why can't they also develop their Enugu? The whole of ibo land doesnt contribute this despite their oil.

Just read the comments and you see how the 6 states in ibo start comparing themselves. They are their own enemies. Always competing with themselves and destroying their works. I have not seen people with such character.

This is what sanwo said. Let the NBS bring its stats. I want to see what Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa contributed and other states not a governor.


Rubbish

The reason why we will guide Lagos jealously

Lagos is 50% of Nigeria

Thank you � to all former governors of Lagos

Most especially the architect of Lagos blueprint

This information is inaccurate. Data from NBS for 2020 FAAC and IGR states that LASG received 115bn as allocation from FG and IGR was 483bn. So how did LASG get 429 extra that they contributed to FG? Is LASG claiming they generated over 800bn in IGR? Which is practically, logically, scientigically and mathematically impossible.

I implore you to try and verify information which is publicly available rather than believe politicians that throw figures to gullible public to massage their egos.

429b is more than double what the combination of Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi and Imo contribute in 2 years.
When you add 'indigenes' behind all the states you listed now, your argument becomes tasteless grin

Lagos had been receiving so much for them to be expected to give so much as well.
History classes are necessary.

Why is it that you nyamiri people are too quick to attack when something good is mentioned about the south west, even the northerners don't show this level of jealousy and bitterness towards the SW, but the igbos that live all their lives in the SW will always criticize
Re: Lagos Contributed ₦428.98 Billion Into FG IGR In 2020 by pacespot(m): 7:12am On May 21, 2021
This is the first time I'm hearing this, I thought the states are meant to keep their own IGR for their development purposes. The senate president lawan said it recently when he was commenting on restructuring, saying "federal government did not ask states for their IGR, so what are they restructuring?"

Lagos is generating IGR for herself while FG is also separately generating revenue for itself. English hard una
Re: Lagos Contributed ₦428.98 Billion Into FG IGR In 2020 by spacechuks(m): 7:26am On May 21, 2021
pls sb should avail me the data of revenue contributed by the whole northern states to federal government account, the answer is approximately zero; thats is why they are against restructuring

Even the herdmens men activities that the northern elites are supporting is not adding any monetary value to the federal government account, so why should the government even thought of wasting tax payers money to building ranches for them; the herdmens are private businesses that dont even pay tax of any kind,

This country is a BIG FRAUD

You called that cement depot a cargo airport

Thats a project of local bricklayers
I’m awaiting when the airport will be commissioned but going by what I saw the day airpeace landed that cargo airport is far from completion and only comparable to asaba airport (asaba airport is far ahead and they didn’t make much noise )

Lagos has not reached reached 30% of its potential, they're busy comparing it with villages.
Are you calling all eastern states villages?

You are obviously myopic. You are comparing Lagos economy that's considered as Naija's defacto commercial nerve center to Abia and Imo economy? You are really cynical. Should Lagos be competing with cities who's population aren't even up to 10 million. Be there and forming 'Local Champion'. Lagos is a mega city and should be competing with the likes of Johannesburg, Tokyo, New York, Shanghai and London who are as well considered mega cities due to their population and huge economy. Lagos is a melting pot. Everyone comes down to Lagos and contributes to her burgeoning economy, just the same way London, Tokyo and Johannesburg are melting pots for their respective countries
Have you ever heard Tokyo competing with her sister region like Ossawa? Have you heard that London is competing with Leed city or New York competing with the state of Michigan? Give yourself brain. You should be
ashamed of making that comparism
. Lagos is punching far below her belt when compared with other cities who share 'mega city' status with her. Better give yourself brain
U can do that without atom of insult in ur words. He did not insult when giving his point. We must all learn to respect one another, no matter the circumstances.

Yoruba land feeding Nigeria for too long. Nigeria took over many Yoruba properties such as Our TV station, turned it to NTA, took over our radio station, took over our Western house and turned it to Nigeria embassy in London. Nigeria is a cancer to Yoruba Nation, we need to get rid of it.

Re: Lagos Contributed ₦428.98 Billion Into FG IGR In 2020 by chukxie(m): 10:23am On May 21, 2021
Too many dummies here. Have you guys asked yourselves how much of the money generated by the Lagos State government end up in the pockets of some northern governors whose states are contributing next to nothing into the federal government's account? If 70% of the money generated in Lagos is used for the development of the state, it would be standing head and shoulders with the best cities in Africa and I dare to say some of the best cities in the world.

Does it change the fact that those people contributed over 50%?

Lagos was the capital of Nigeria for decades, you guys tend to forget that status, Lagos was invested in with national money just like present day Abuja, no part of Nigeria would get national presence like Lagos did those years and remain the same.

If e pain you, hug transformer, anywhere there is federal presence would definitely have market for different products and once it does, you gonna have those people there but unlike others these people contribute to the development of where there reside.

Are you saying the state is lying against the federal government?

Who will scrutinize it, BTW?

What will it take you to congratulate them and walk away?
Why are you arguing with him and do you think they will ever changed? These ipobians guys have endemic and malignant biles in their hearts for Lagos. They cannot wake up to see Lagos advance as a city in Yorubaland. It didn’t start today, it don tey.
