Why Is High IGR Not Improving States And It's Citizens? by Jokerman(op): 5:36pm On Oct 30, 2024
Please before you attack me as usual to go back to my states.

Please I just need answer to the above topic above??

Take for instance, Ogun state. The high IGR that state generates, yet even Abeokuta is nothing to write home about, I was just there yesterday for a business at Oke Mosan, I was not happy, thought the monies generated could have been better.

What about Lagos state?? Some areas on the mainland still don't have good roads, good drainages, and water still floods some parts of the island too.. I begin to wonder, what is happening with all these generated revenues. Lagos state should be on the level of Johannesburg, Alexandria etc, in Africa

What about Rivers state, Delta and Bayelsa states? With all the oil revenues yet, poverty even in their state capitals?

When will citizens starts asking these leaders questions? Or is it a Black Man problem?? Because I know if Nigeria was a white country, it would have been one of the leading destinations in the world...

It is a black man problem bro.

Even Johannesburg you mentioned was built by Boers from Netherland (white man).

New York was already well structured, planned, beautiful, with high standard of living in 1600 that's 17th century.

Most of Nigeria was uninhabited then.

Black pigment is a curse not to develop, if you like say I'm insulting myself na your pocket e dey.

Because it is not enough.

At the end of the day, 30 trillion naira is not enough for a country of 250 million people. We kind of need at least four times that to get what we want.

And if we tell you Nigerians to pay the kind of city taxes that New York pays or impose the kind of laws imposed on New York to keep it clean, all of you will.shout poverty.

You think New York looks nice because Washington is giving them allawee?. Na taxes from the rich, poor and companies there and at high rates that makes those cities look nice


Same thing with Joburg.

But because you people think that awa oyel is enough.

You can call me batist but it is the truth, 30 trillion is not enough for a nation our size.

Plus it is an indictment on the government and party which came in on a manifesto to increase revenue. So far as you can see they have failed.

But pointing that out somehow makes me a batist.

Better change your thinking pattern. I am blasting the government for getting an f in revenue generation,and you are here calling me batist. Maybe this tinubu economy has afflicted your brain, brother

The issue why we don't want to pay that high is cos we don't have the confidence of the politicians to use it judiciously.

They've shown their uselessness in the little they get from Abuja, how much donating more of your pennies to a robber?

The citizens of New York were led by gentlemen who keep their words that's why they had no qualms paying more tax. They are not living in country where leaders lie that snake swallowed money

Number 2: the minimum wage there is high, so they can afford to pay high wage.


You dey mad to impose high tax on 70k minimum wage when no reach to buy 1 bag of rice without Maggi and pepper even?


With these two points of mine, I hope I've convinced you and not confused you that the moment politicians start to use Abuja allocations judiciously and not thieving, and also make minimum wage 250k, that we will become willing to pay more tax for the sake of overall development.

Na thief dey know thief.

Igr is for govt officials to steal. That's why a commissioner will buy a maybach for 450 million.

Abi why should some governors be budgeting above 100% of the IGR for office of the governor alone

Even though Ogun state is miles ahead of Anambra state, you should know what Ogun state is generating is still not enough.

Are we not holding them to account? You didn't see endsars? You didn't see the August 1st 2024 end bad governance protest? You didn't see the outrage against 2023 election? The only thing Nigerians haven't done is coup.

They(leaders) are not just sensitive to the legitimate means of holding leaders to account.

Lmao.

All those money are still not able to get us where we want to. Atleast not just yet. However, in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. It's not suprising that those two states are where alot of less privileged Nigerians from other states mostly migrate to, aside Abuja and maybe Rivers state.
