Where are the Ndi billionaires from the East? Can you imagine, the biggest and most resourceful state in the East couldn't even beat Osun state not to talk of Oyo and Ogun .

Jealousy and hatred will kill Igbos very soon.

When it comes to igr developers of other regions are parasite. Mtcheeew!

Yet they want to go and you are holding onto them and crying like babies. Who is the real parasite!!!

galaxy2020:
Restructure the country and you will see all states working hard, all these figures are not the true figures.

I'm sure it would have been a true figure if eastern states were topping the charts.

Your brain must be paining you.

Nobody is holding you, you should rather blame your forefathers who sold you into slavery by removing the secession clause in the Constitution due to greed.

You think is all this fake IGR paperwork South that you SW media is dishing out.

If the IGR is true, you Yorubas will crying the loudest at the mention of Biafra.

Odingo1:

Nothing is wrong, you believe in those figures yet the states with highest IGR cannot pay workers salary or show the outcome of higher IGR in their state.

Kwaraption everywhere. They declare what they want us to believe I guess.

ManirBK:
What happened to Kano? Why Kano at
average not at high table.Kano just get population but no good IGR...what a
shame

Kano is at number 7, on top of all the SE states..

I don’t know why poor people are always the first to rubbish other people..

ManirBK:
Others do hide what their major IGR is. Even
lagos gets up to trillions in their Igr but they
won't say it all

Very true. Abia state in particular is case of "the more you look the less you see"

ManirBK:
In my opinion these states with high IGR
should no longer be giving monthly
allocation,instead let them make do with
there IGR, and remmit 10% of their IGR to
the FG.

And make the poor states and their leaders more lazy, less innovative and less competitive?

It's like rewarding lazy and vision less leaders while punishing competent and hardworking leaders.

Your idea sounds very backward and counterproductive?

You have to change the constitution to achieve that. Besides, I don't agree. I think those states should be the ones to get reward. We shouldn't reward laziness with monthly allocation

Your opinion is shallow. Is like saying you wouldn't give a particular son inheritance because he is wealthy.

Hahaha don't mind the cheat beaters. Empty threats and noisemaking is what they are good at. See how all of them rushed to do election after so much noisemaking

The North contributed the least amount of IGR, later na dem go take the lion share. Government dey bias.

GlorifiedTunde:
Wetin FCT dey produce?

Contract scams or what?

How is FCT generating this much?

Major IGR are gotten from paye"pay as you earn"tax and Abuja as the highest number of civil servant. I believe u now know why Abuja is earning beyond ur thought

Cherez:


See bro most of you need to gain understanding and not be deceived
1. That billionaire region was brought down by the other parts of Nigeria & Britain & lost but human capital and all & started afresh in1969 whe other states became like 10years ahead at least
2. The population of people generating this IGR in the SE is much lower do this simple maths; IGR/population by state and understand a little.
Albeit same Igbos are also in other regions contributing heavily to the IGRs of those states; in Lagos for example the #1 biggest/modern market if not in W/Africa by name trade fair was single-handedly built by the Igbos from scratch. Go there and even show me any where in the 2nd world such facilities are built by some ordinary merchants ooo!

Sabon-gari Kano is where every Igbo, Yoruba & other tribes run to during chaos in Kano. Go there and see what the Igbos did there.
Check academics today, and other indexes of growth this SE you beef are doing so good and be wary cos they are still coming so man your oars

I know people like you will come up with excuses and statistics from IPOB Bureau of Statistics.

So, are you telling me your 2*2 shops where you sell okrika wares are what is generating income for LSG? Your brothers and sisters are littered all across the streets of Lagos with their Fanyogo and gala selling business - and you think that is where the LSG generates its income?

Even Dangote with over $16B refinery company and another $2B fertilizer plant built in Lagos cannot claim to be the one tributing to the income of LSG. And let me ask, what is the population of Igbos in Lagos apart from the Yorubas who are indegenes compared to other tribes and nationalities in Lagos?

Stop saying trash about the 1967 civil war which you brought upon yourselves as the reason your region is lagging behind. Even Japan that was nuked by the US are a world power now.

Bunch of illiterates, always claiming what they are not.

Some things we need to consider, someone works with MTN and is based in Gombe, his pay check gets prepared in Lagos and he is payed from there. Which state does his taxes get remitted to? Lagos.
Most bank staff are outsourced and almost all outsource companies are based in Lagos. Who do they remit the income tax of their company to?

This is not true. Do you know that there is something called residency rule in tax law? Gombe worker who resides in Gombe (even if he/she works in Lagos) gets his/her tax paid to Gombe not to talk of a resident Gombe worker working in Gombe. It doesn't matter where the head office is or where the tax is processed. Do not confuse VAT with other taxes like Personal Income Tax (PIT) like PAYE or Direct Assessment (DA).

Lazy State Governors should get to work. Do not make excuse for them based on the progress of Lagos.

You have started crying already. , hypocritical statement and laughable. Na human being remove am, so you can put it back and kick the parasite out. Who like living with parasite, the joke is on you guys. Keep on deceiving yourself.

No wonder the North are fighting for FIRS to continue collecting IGR. They feed from other states' IGR and will still be making a hell lot of noise. The North is simply parasitic and this has to stop. Let FG allow Rivers, Lagos and other states collect their IGR and pay to them. We cannot continue to baby feed the Northern part of Nigeria.

adamsmith914:
Abia State Home of ipob 7 billion Naira only? Mazi Kanu is a very stupid man, isn’t he aware that charity begins @ home?

divide Kano igr by her population and divide abia state igr by her population and you will understand that kano is more useless than abia state.

emmanuel4758:
are you a Yoruba Muslim?

IPOB go back to your country and stop disturbing the peace in Lagos. Enough is enough. Instead of you to question what your Governor in IPOB is doing with your revenue, you choose to poke nose in other peoples affairs. Lagos will soon secede from Nigeria. So be ready to apply for visa to stay in Lagos. And be ready to be rejected on balance of probability that you will become a miscreant in our new progressive country of Lagos.

That’s not true now. Bornu and Bauchi make more money than Abia and Ebonyi. Who is the parasite?

obynzo:


Are you this dense how is Tinubu gifted. We all know that Lagos is what it is because of it position from colonial times and the fact that it is the defacto commercial centre where import come first into the country. You say south east cannot survive without allocation for a year, but you forget easily that when Ngige was governor of Anambra state that Obasanjo also withheld Anambra allocation to punish Ngige for three years Anambra had no allocation from 03 to 06 when courts removed Ngige and replace him with Peter Obi. Guess what during that time the IGR from Onitsha alone was keeping the government going. Ngige was financing road construction projects with RCC and not the rubbish Hitech guys in Lagos. Again the riots over End SARS I really don't want to say you are a fool sha, but the rioters were clearly Yoruba the guy who led people to loot the Oba's Palace and steal the staff of office was clearly a Yoruba boy but in your foolish and dense nature you chose to accused igbos and IPOB because IPOB is clamouring for equity or let us leave the federation.

The same weak, baseless and lame argument.

All the things you people are lamenting over were there before 1999 when Lagos State was generating measly N500 Million until Tinubu came and make leadership changes and creative methods to get the IGR to where it is today.

IGR is not by magic, you have to work for it, you have to come up with sound and vibrant economic policies to generate investments, create jobs and expand tax base.

You can not say you are rich because you have oil in the ground, you have to work and dig the oil out of the ground.

Abi why is Kaduna competing with Rivers and their massive oil wealth?

Is Kaduna also the defacto commercial center where import come first into the country?

You people really need to stop with these childish and embarrassing comments..

Don't know why Ogun state can't come second or third considering it proximity with Lagos.My state is just blessed with unfortunate and clueless governors.To make matter worst they brought another clueless being PDA to steer it affairs.A good governor will focus on how to increase the IGR because a good road network between Lagos and Ogun will contribute to that.But it seems we no get luck when it comes to roads the matter don even tire Mathias sef.

Your tax is paid to the state of residence. Ok?

flokii:
Lagos State a.k.a Centre of Excellence..

Asiwaju Tinubu is gifted honestly, how he was able to manage Lagos when Obasanjo refused to pay Lagos State allocation for years from bad advice from his Igbo and Northern friends is commendable. How many South East states can survive without allocation for a year? None!

Professor Osibanjo, Fashola and others in his team are also gifted.. infact Lagos leaders are reliable, tested and trustworthy. Reason Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB urchins wanted to burn down Lagos last year. Oju ti gbogbo won, awon abinu eni.

So based on the above, how has the standard of living of lagosians improved?

If ogun state comes first, how will it benefit d people of the state?

The reason for the high population in Kano State is because men over there reasons with their "Madiga" than their head.

I think the Governor is fixing some important roads outside the state capital which are equally very important. The state commissioner for works needs to be firm with some road construction company expecially the one rehabilitating Imosan to CBN in Abeokuta south and interchange Abeokuta expressway. Newly tarred road keeps undulating. Proper work is necessary considering heavy duty vehicles (tippers with granites and sand loads) that are regular on the roads. Cities needs to be lightning up.
