Nwokem, stop parading your foolishness for all to see.

Igbos are obviously huge employers in Lagos, from the various markets, super markets and blue-chip companies, car dealerships, film industry e.t.c.
so Igbos account for more than their fair share of the PAYE contribution.

Now taxes on levies and market traders, land registration e.t.c are heavily paid by Igbos in Lagos, and you know that.

Igbos are not also doing too badly in terms of road taxes.

So all the stuff you showed have huge Igbo representation. You have only just helped me in confirming the 50% IGR Igbos contribute to Lagos.

I think yoruba nation will favour us more. We are going to make more money by taxing foreigners who are doing businesses or owning properties.
I wish Awo had fought for independence of yoruba nation. I wish he had supported Biafra course.

OfoIgbo:
And the funny thing is that about half of the Lagos IGR is being provided by SEners, and about 70% of Rivers state IGR is being provided by SEners also.

Proper economic planning and the installation of seaports at Oseakwa in Anambra and Obuaku in Abia, will quadruple the IGR of the SE states.

Adding Igbo areas in the SS stretching from Obigbo, to Opobo and Ubani, to Ogwashiuku to the SE will further help the Igbo economy.

Igbos will automatically be bestowed with the title of states with the largest IGRs

Ngorbungor:


Do they think it's only Yoruba's that are responsible for the 51% VAT Lagos recorded?

They are not serious, I really like how the VAT thing is going, it will really help other state to sit tight and think outside the box, do you know that the number of banks inside Onitsha main market alone is more than the total number of banks in state capital like Lokoja, Ado-Ekiti,, markudi etc.

So the problem is tax collection, because the revenue is there and going into wrong pockets

cocolacec:
The North and some states in the East will oppose the new VAT Ruling.After Vat collection by state the next should be decentralization of the Army and the police.

OfoIgbo:


Nnaa see me, see me trouble.

They think it was just Yorubas that generated that 51% VAT Lagos recorded. I had to make them snap out of it.

Lagos/Ogun IGR are heavily influenced by Igbo business activities.

DonroxyII:
Stop wasting your time .... Big Igbo men don't like doing business in the east...... it is more of culture not because of lack of opportunities...

They are the ones that knows what is pursuing them from home ..... it doesn't have anything to do with Biafra .....

Average Igbo man don't stay Home no matter the seaport you build .....

WesternOligarch:
The leeches in both regions will oppose the ruling. We already saw who betrayed the anti grazing ban in the south first.....

The funny thing is that if northern leaders for a minute can actually get their acts together they'd see rapid development in terms of igr in their region. If an economic partnership that is beneficial to both parties in the south west and the north is entered into both regions will see development. Build a cargo railway that connects the north and south west, build more dry ports in the south west and invest in livestock agriculture in the north and creation of an arewa/odua investment company for both regions. Synergy is what is really needed.

Plus ogun states and Oyo states really need to work on their own igr and exploit the closeness to Lagos.

I personally really don't give them much attention when they say stuff like that, usually it's bereft of any facts or logic and simply empty statements to feed their ego.... they talking about having ports, lol last time I checked they were landlocked.

bencarson007:


Bros I am not Igbo but anything wey make seaports and a cargo airport to go any part of igbo land eh, Lagos and some parts of the south go hear word o...

And it will now be everybody working for themselves .... Decentralization is the way to go and the FG knows this but are scared of it... No more trillions to steal and give to their almahajiri foot soldiers

Grupo:


Lol. You are naive.

Without one Nigeria, most of the companies that are in Lagos boosting Lagos IGR will not be there.

IOCs will not have their headquarters in Lagos. Their headquarters will be in Biafra.

Most multinationals will not have their headquarters in Lagos.

Most importantly, Lagos seaport wouldn't have been the only one in the country.

Saltybear:
[s][/s]

This is why I dislike seeing you people in my state (Edo state) you guys are always tribalistic irritating, spread false under bridge data as facts the. Start bragging.

Make sure you leave the southsouth out of your rubbish analysis.

The only reason Lagos has the highest igr is because you people cunningly move all the oil company head offices to Lagos so they pay taxes there .

You steal resources meant for us in the Niger Delta and make stupid noise

Very irritating people

May god bless you dear. I have taken time to preach this to my people but the hatred they harbor on the Igbos is making them blind.



Had we taken the opportunity of the war to pursue our our own nation Yoruba nation would have been the envy of the world today. We have all it takes to prosper, the intellectual, the port, the agricultural land, the mineral deposits, everything but greedy men like tinubu will rather sacrifice our youths for his insatiable quest for power.

ThatFairGuy1:
, I thought Anambra IGR is more than that of ogun and Oyo State put together.
CHESTBEATERS

YorubarLord:
I wonder what you have to say about oyo and ogun state, even ondo is higher than Enugu . With all these dumb bragging your region is still the poorest in the region. Building mansions in village with fvcked up roads to stroke your weak egos don't generate IGR. No reasonable person would want to go invest in your region seeing how you people go about destroying people's business cos they refuse to follow you IPOB order. I can't wait for Nigeria to be divided so you can carry your businesses back to biafuro. Yoruba land needs to breath.

Besk:



Yours is probably one of the daftest ever comments one has read on Nairaland.

Now that the sh.t has hit the delinking, you’re trying to comfort yourself with some statements that have no data to back them up. Who told you that South-Easterners account for the most collection of VAT in those states? Do you even know the definition of VAT? How many traders in Alaba, Oyingbo, etc, pay/remit VAT on sales? Stop being dumb!

As per your so-called Oseakwa and Obiaku, do they just dredge rivers that lead nowhere? You just think they should dredge up a river and that’s it? Even if they dredge it from now till the next 50 years, how would cargo ships get there? Through what route? By coming through Benin-Ore Road?

You must smell the coffee. If Nigeria splits today like some of you Igbos want, economically, it’s going to be hell for that region. Where are you going to get the resources?

This data should be a big eye-opener for you. Your spare-parts traders & other traders earn most of their income from outside your region. Imagine when they now have further restrictions in terms of visas, residence permits, business permits, etc, trust me, the SouthEast will find it tough.

Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it.

"I wish Awo had fought for independence of yoruba nation. I wish he had supported Biafra course"

You absolutely right that Yoruba nation would have favored Yoruba ethnic nationality. But the one billion dollar question is why he did not support the Biafran cause or take a neutral stance and allow Biafra and Northern Nigeria to settle their political fight in the war.Instead he joined his enemies to fight against the long-term interest of Yoruba.

bayocanny:


Your first paragraph is false.
Nobody hate the igbos, do not use the constant tribal arguments on this forum as a yardstick.
The narrative is entire different out there.
No sensible yoruba will hate the ignis, and no right thinking igbo will hate the yorubas. We complement each other.

Awo fought for a Yoruba nation,the Brits never agreed so they settled for regional system of govt where each region control its affairs.The military coup of January 1966 destroyed all these arrangement.

YorubarLord:
From this chart Yoruba land is the one feeding these parasites from potopoto land and bandits land yet they come here open their filthy mouths to talk crap. I think it's high time we pass laws to start deporting these parasites back to their regions.

You absolutely right. Restructure Nigeria and see the explosion of revenue in SE. The current IGR does not reflect the true potential of the regions. Instead it reflects the fraudulent federalism in Nigeria and those benefitting from it.
