We have seen the real parasite states but they won't be quiet still.

The real parasite is the federal govt that is stealing the resources of states by not allowing them full control of their God given resources only preferring to give them a meagre 13%.

Betgold84:
We rich in nigeria.
But how can wealth spread around?

Seriously we are rich but mismanagement. This Q1 results show this administration has pushed the State to be proactive. If tax reform Bill is finally passed them with time States can independently finance Thier budgets without FAAC or unnecessary debts. Imagine Oyo with 70+B in 3 months

Lagos is what it is today by the fact that it was the capital of Nigeria and hence,federal strength was used to fix most infrastructures there and until the federal govt decides to decentralized development,nothing will change.
If govt could invest half of what it invested in putting up the different ports in Lagos,in portharcourt and calabar,I bet you most people will relocate,dredge Onitsha port to accommodate huge cargoes and see what is left of Lagos.
Abuja used to be a glorified village until it was made the federal capital and now,it is beauty to behold.Would you give it to the gwari people that they built Abuja through their dexterity?

We have the pictures, history and many more of Lagos for at least 50yrs before Nigeria ever came to existence. Nigeria, thru her colonial masters, beneficially selected Lagos as her capital because Lagos already had all what it takes to be a capital city, even ahead of some capital cities in Asia and South America. I'm sure many cities in your region today were just farmlands, hunting forest or waste lands as of 1850 when Lagos was already a blooming port-city, transacting with the likes of Liverpool City port etc.

PrivateSeal:
Ekiti has more VAT than Ondo,

Aiyedatiwa is a standard failure

The guy na complete failure, no single tangible project in Ondo state. Well I don't blame him, Most people that vote for him collected money b4 dey vote for him.

Were they forced to relocate to Lagos?;

planetbluz:
Why not support The motion for them to leave this Union so you can have ur lagos for your lazy ass selves.

SpecialAdviser:
I don't really want my state to generate anything Tinubu and his family will loot.

Kiss the Truth

Supported

Apel147:

Lagos is not the moon, people will always come to Lagos because it is a land owned by the Benis.



😎😎😎

All the states generating less than 5 billion should be dissolved and given to viable states

Why is Ogun state so poor?

I suspect a lot of VAT that should be credited to it has been wrongfully credited to Lagos.

Imagine Oyo state sum is about 10 times larger than Ogun state

olaolaking:
The first 10 on the log, no SE states despite their ever chest-beating attitude.

5 SS states make the list as expected but why not all the 6? These states wouldn't have much contributions in the absence of oil

SW State have 2 states - Not bad considering the absence of oyel.

2 states surprise me most. Benue and my state (Ekiti). I see these 2 states as poor and not well established enough to compete favourably with other states because of their sizes and age. Kundus

Cross River's position is embarrassing considering her as an oil producing state

Why will states in the south east even pay vats to the federal govt when major critical infrastructures like standard railways and international airports is denied the region when loans for such projects is collected by the federal govt? Let the south east use the vats to develop themselves instead of paying it to the biased federal govt and let the states that benefits massively from the billion dollars infrastructural loans pay the vats without any grudges.

Henix:
Anambra and Abia states suppose to be generating more than they are currently doing.

Though government lacks transparency and accountability when it comes to spending of the tax money, which usually discourage most people from paying tax

VAT is not the same as IGR.

RichBoy247:
And Southerners go to Israel to hit their heads on a Wall.

after working very hard and generating good VATs

The new deep sea port in Lagos is by Lagos State government and private investors partnership. You people give these governors of your states too much lax and space to be lazy and corrupt. Your state governor can put up a port and promote a port, they have the capacity to do so, but they are interested in looting your money and spending money on politicking...but you people encourage their laziness...today power devolution have been passed into law, how many states are sourcing for investment for their power/electricity sector?

Every state for itself, look inward, focus on your governors and representatives.

If you spread wealth across, and put all man on the same financial level, within a short time wealth will flow back into the hands of those that had them before.

Some states are just useless.

Them de make mouth for elections but have nothing to offer the country

Why not stop playing the victim's card and face the problems headlong? Southeast can do better than it is if they can stop the blame game.

ediko5:
I keep asking:

Why is a state like Anambra state's VAT usually at middle position despite the presence of big companies there?

There is no trophy for paying tax for politicians to share

pasol4real:
I hope this Yoruba ppl understand what VAT is?
This one they are celebrating up n down....

E no favour you, so you wan change am?

Lagos original Yoruba name is farm.

Lagos was a fatm

WhizdomXX:
Corrected.
NB: Cross River is not an oil producing state.

You are correct.

But Cross River is old and has history in its favor.

Karlman:
How much has the FG invested in anambra that they are want to tax?

Dumbest question so far

Yet some lunatics will still come here and start raining insult on Lagos state.

You can make your comment without insulting others or bringing in tribal bigotry, is that too difficult to do?

Seun nlfpmod this is a derogatory tribal comment that deliberately insults and provokes, and violates Rule 2

Because the list is fraudulent and false.

Karlman:

Which of the FG's investments is generating VAT for states?

anthobros:
Oyo state alone generate more than the five eastern state combine . Ndi developer, they will soon start saying they develop Oyo state. But they cannot develop their 5 plots of land.

Exactly.

[quote author=zoomzoom post=135537100][/quote]So your people left alaigbo to go and consume whatever in Oyo state Abi what exactly are you saying here?

How can kwara generate more VAT than Ogun state

Sibrah:
are you daft? How much is their total compared to Oyo or Rivers alone? What are all the souls there doing?

Okay. But they are in the first 12. How about the Eastern states? Or those have been cursed not to be successful?
