if you have big GDP, but don't collect taxes you will still have low IGR. That's what the Op is saying. Tax penetration is low in the SE for various reasons.

IGR tells us how much income a government can extract from its GDP. It's not the GDP or its size.
It is an index of the performance of a government as it doesn't arrive by happenstance.
It can also be a predictor of the future GDP of an economy as it's the warchest to drive an economy.
Anybody that undermines IGR, undermines the future if it's economy/development.

Yet many of them don't want to stay back in their states to enjoy the IGR only to go to Lagos and refused to have connection with their states of origin.

With same IGR,u need to visit Ogun state and see why many of them aren't proud of coming from there.

The underliisted communities in Ogun state have never seen electricity in 100years dedpites huge IGR.

communities include Alagbada, Fayoyi, Ajegunle, Erinpa 1, Erinpa 2, Abule Babalana, Sunwa Ajegunle, Mokoya/ Ogbungiri, Abule Anila, Abule Alata, Aruku, Pakoyi, Lashilo, Oloje, Idi Iroko, Abotokio, Kajola, Kajola- Alaga, Ijaka-Isale, and Ijaka– Oke. Others are below

All are in Yewa North LGA in Ogun state.

This is a fact and that is why when u see them in Lagos or Abuja they hardly talk proudly of their states.

internal generated revenue from where. You governors are taxing you heavily and you are here jubilation. Taxing is good but what are they doing with the money. Southwest igr are mostly generated as a result of high taxation and levies from the citizens and not realy of government investments. That is why the government are getting richer but the citizens are becoming poorer

oga the south west governors are taxing you guys heavily without anything to show for it unlike other regions. A these your igr are mostly levies and not driven by production. South east governors are better human than the south west. South East Governors borrow less without much taxing. South West governors upon the heavy borrowing will still tax their people heavily with little or nothing to show

You know your onions. Let me just add an extra point. While IGR is not the size of the economy, it is a pointer to how well the economy is doing and how large or small the economy is. If there's nothing to tax then where will the igr come from?

This OP is just pained. If Oyo has an IGR double what Anambra has then it shows that in real terms, Oyo's economy is bigger, better and more organized or formal than Anambra's.

If you've been lying about your gdp to look impressive, then record of IGR collected will expose you because while people enjoy lying about the size of their economy no sane person will lie that his igr is large when it's actually small because he will be called to give account. So IGR figures are a better way of judging the size of an economy than GDP.

Ogun state is bad when it comes to infrastructure generally. But then in terms of access to electricity it's still ahead of states such as Enugu or Imo. Overall the South West enjoys more access to electricity than any other region in Nigeria.

Osun state has better access to electricity than any state in the South East. And if you know of anyone living in Osun State call them to confirm how stable their power supply is, it's even better than Lagos. This I know personally.

That is the same mentality they used in continuing to ruin Nigeria.

They told us how Lagos had the largest IGR under Tinubu.
