Effect of the marginalization the east is currently facing....

SE even tried with the little govt presence in the zone.

Godons1:


You are probably Kaduna, Kano or Lagos Igbo. Who are enjoying good economy and peaceful environment in other Regions and decided not to ever visit the East. Go to the East and see things for yourself.

walefresh3:
mister man dis is not igr by state... But vat collation by fg.... Fir it's the Major collector of vat... No game play here ... East is doing poorly here... U can not give what u don't have....

nedekid:

Actually, I am from delta state.
I did nysc in the south east 1996 ie abia state.
Possibly things have changed since then.

vanbonattel:
Such a shame to Kano

Big for nothing state.

Is the desert encroaching even into their brains?

To be competing with states that were destroyed during the war and states where the FG refused to build any infrastructure is just very shameful.

Kano should be chasing and overtaking Lagos

caleboxylic:


And you have two firs branches in Abia state alone. One at Aba and one at umuahia.

We know what we are doing. South east is doing fine and growing faster than the other regions.

Compare ekiti with Ebonyi, ogun with anambra, Oyo with Enugu, osun with Imo, and ondo with Abia and tell yourself the truth.
We have recovered after 50 years and are accelerating. Ebonyi is a case study .

We are doing fine and growing at a rate we are comfortable with without FG presence . All the FG roads in east are bad but we aren't deterred by their game .
They have moved to media to discourage thé foreign investors but you know what, we will do it on our ways .
Shalom.

God bless Igbo land.

Ofodirinwa:
the pressure on this website for the se to increase taxes is high lol. I hope the region doesn't comply to the ignorance

Are you now saying there are "Agberos" in the East?

I thought nah only South West Agberos dey o, and nothing of such exist in the land of the billionaires

The VAT of Oyo is far more than what the 5 developer states generate. When we tell them no state in the East com close to Oyo, dem go start to dey show us private residence building

efighter:


Look at Mumu talk. You better increase your IGR which is basically drug trafficking, human trafficking, baby factory and fake drugs.

walefresh3:
I am not disputing ur notion... But nothing dey that place... my ibo friend wey dey Lagos here dey always tell say nothing dey happen for east.. even people wey dey dere want come to Yoruba land... I am not new to dis ... I married ibo woman from orlu...owerri fine but nothing wey dey there too boring...

Kinematics:
God bless Rivers State. So all the SW states put together besides Lagos can't generate up to Rivers?

[s]clown. Oyo state alone generated 62 billion[/s]

Add the rest of Ogun, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo. It's not up to 96 billion generated by Rivers alone.

Penguin2:
Tor!

This one na Aboki statistics concocted at a gworo chewing stand in Kano.

I kept reading to see if Daily Trust will quote the source of the statistics but it couldn’t.

How can you tell me that Yobe generated 9.2bn of VAT in the period under review while Abia generated 2.2bn? How? What is the market or industry or government workforce that generated such money?

This is some piece of trash that will only accepted by zombies as authentic.

Another thing we need to do is to study the history of VAT generation of these states and juxtapose it with this present report and get a clearer picture.

This people can lie about anything.

That’s how they went on Google after 2015 elections and changed the population statistics of Nigeria to state that the Fulanis are the second largest ethnic group in Nigeria after the Hausas.

But fools keep cheering them on.

Nisiw365:
[s]mr linus. Rivers generated 92 billion and not 96[/s]

Godons1:
It's official. AfghanEASTERN is now the PARASITE REGION in this Country. The only Region that contribute ZERO to the Economy.

vanbonattel:


Nooooooooo

That will mean states like Kano cannot earn enough IGR like 2 local government area in Ebonyi

You want to disgrace some states.

Asgard73:
All this propaganda NBS statistics.... bad for Nigeria

The earlier you guys start telling yourselves truth and accepting reality the better

Statistics is always different from reality always always .. used to massage the ego of gullibles and marginalization.

Nothing to celebrate even the daily that has the news know say Na gbo gbo..

.... no be today.

Just be say for sometime now government has not be fluent with this statistics of a thing .. as e no help.. unlike 2015 to 2019.. Na on A daily

Feelings79:
These are not mere figures, this is cash we talking about here.I'm not sure any agency would willingly overstate her collections given they had to also render accounts of it
