MadamExcellency:
Get off the internet and go and run a business to see what works. Most of your people just depend on a government job or patronage in business to survive. They open a business and voila, the government throws contracts, grants and subsidies. That's how they become millionaires. Outside that, it's all failure.

South East states fighting for Biafra

Their population didn't reach half of Lagos population

It is becoming clearer with every passing day, who the real leaches are.

States like Oyo deserves to keep 20% of what they generate. States generating VATs are not going to be taken care of in the new sharing formula

If oil producing states are getting 13% states that are generating VATs also deserve at least 13%.

Oyo and Lagos state lawmakers messed up jawe.

MIKOLOWISKA:
20 abi 90%

Bigotry will not be the end of Nigeria.

I hope while you rub this Statistics on the face of others you remember that not all those businesses are owned and operated by SW indigenes.

Please be careful how you treat people so they don’t run away. We will all lose. This is not how to build a country.

So you want to claim businesses in other regions yet your region is in flames?

MakindeHassan:
Which region do you think I’m from and which business do you think I’m claiming?

Q1 2025 VAT — OYO STATE generated ₦79.78bn in VAT but received ₦35.34bn after sharing.

[b]Oyo State generated more in VAT than four Zones:

Dangote refineries VAT are collected in lagos, but consumed across the whole nation.

That sharing has not even done justice to the consumption pattern in Nigeria. Lawmakers and governors should push for this VAT to be collected at the point of consumption.

Abegi..... We know una type
That format don cast tey tey


They will go online to register names belonging to other regions claiming those regions all the while spreading their usual hate and bitterness.

MakindeHassan:
So every Yoruba man has to think like you otherwise they are catfishing. Na una type go finally scatter this country. Good luck

BENEAMATA:
how Tinubu take enter the matter of all the " billionaire states" of southeast combined generating less tax than one southwest state that is not Lagos . Look closer to home for whose sense is less than the 20k they pay him to be an on-line troll because it is definitely not the guy you shamelessly called out . You must be one of the many entitled people from one of the leeches' states Generating next to zilch but always shouting marginalisation and " Biafra oil " on top South south recourses . Imagine robbing the so-called brown roof Oyo state to feed the billionaire south East Region ! And You think say you wise .

More reason why the FG should allow the Biafran people to go! Nnamdi Kanu should be released too. If this stats is correct the FG should be happy that the Biafran people have decided to go.

There is no trophy for paying tax. Oyo should tax their people more. South East should pay less and receive more from oyo . Wailers can't do nothing than wail.

Let them have their moment
Maybe the delusion helps them forget the stomach bursting hunger

MaliCampus:
EweduLogic keep shouting Tax tax tax, what is southwest doing with the Tax.Olodo like President Tilimbu...

BENEAMATA:
Damn lies and statistics . You mean Anambra's trade and Education getting it's funds from a percentage of Oyo's higher IGR as well as other states like oyo paying higher taxes to spoon-fed a billionaire state . Oyo that uses it's IGR to make living there Affordable , subsidising transportation and establishing the state as an Educational hub while still playing big brother to Anambra and Imo 's only on paper's over $2000 per capita GDP . Anything to make you feel important bro , roll in the stats .

Leave all this excuse that does not hold water. Oyo is more prosperous than the south east. Economy activities in Oyo state alone dwarf that of the south east

lexy2014:
how has he played his Cards well to improve the living standards of the people of oyo state?

caleboxylic:
Keep deceiving yourself. Travel and see.

Ikaeniyan0:
There's nothing in the south east for me to see. The fuel consumption in Oyo state alone is far far more than what is consume in the states in the south east.
