Touts do not work for the state or federal government...most of them are NURTW members or LGA people...and the revenue they collect goes to the NURTW or the LGA...mostly to the NURTW.

Most Nigerians do not pay income tax, including the touts and the bus drivers...to the state and federal governments. Most of the levies collected by the touts does not go to the state and federal government. And the money raised is probably on a good day not up to 10 million naira monthly. Maybe less.

Throw in the fact that Nigeria does not run a diversified economy, and that APC , despite all its promises, runs an economy dependent on oil revenue that is not enough, forcing it to take even more loans, and that tax to gdp is still low...and you get the picture.

3.6 trillion naira is just 2 billion dollars...for the whole country. 230 million nigerians. Assuming we purged ourselves of corruption, it is not enough at all.

Vote a government that would diversify our economy, widen the tax net, get us off oil, fight corruption and end our dependence on oil revenue...and industrialze, we would get somewhere. After some years. Not this tinubu government, or the oppostion.

The agberos were made by the president and the government have their cut from what the agberos are collecting. If they don't have their share, then Agberoism would have become a thing of the past, because if the government isn't gaining from it, they wouldn't allow it to fester. Go and verify.

Agberos have existed long before tinubu came around and their activities have been known. Tinubu keeping company with them shows what kid of person he is. And there are agberos in non apc states. It's a byproduct of an economy that is heavily oil dependent, meaning no jobs or limited jobs.

Anyway, my point still stands. Should your side win in 2027, they should take it into consideration. Apc has failed

Lagos IGR alone is higher than the IGR of about 3 geopolitical zones combined together yet no commiserate development to show for such a huge IGR

With this huge resources available, any i.diot can be a Governor in Lagos and people will think the person is working..........

What this means is that Lagos one year IGR alone is higher than Anambra state 4 years budget yet Anambra is measuring up with lagos to a good extent

When corruption in Lagos state will be unvelied, it will be a bomb shell, and this will be done when a new president comes onboard and impose STATE OF EMERGENCY IN LAGOS, the Military Administrator appointed then will do the needful.....

Mark this date because Tinubu has set a bad precedent

Lagos igr is a sign of government failures and a sign of how poor this Nigeria is.

In dollars, the igr is not up to 900 million. Lagos state houses Lagos, a city as big as New York which spent 10.2 billion dollars on policing alone.

Nigeria is a poor country because resource dependency and because we import stuff we shld be making at home. That is why we have high debts and low jobs and that is why apc has failed and even all the government beforehand have failed.

Same response I get form the apc supporters and others who don't support apc

Most of you take sides.

Personally I don't because since 2011, I realized why Nigeria was poor. Resource dependency. Once I got that , taking sides was irrelevant. It's our greatest failing since independence and why we have a lot of issues.

We don't want to use our resources to develop goods for the world market because it means hard work and no palliatives.

Federal allocations are not IGR.

When you factor in inflation, you will know that it reduced drastically

Mumu people dey praise increase in IGR,what of inflation and devaluation rate, you triple the IGR your inflation rate and náírà devaluation also triple,tell me what u have been able to gain,what I buy for 100 náírà in 2023 now cost me 300 naira, when IGR was 1 trillion N100, now that IGR IS 3 TRILLION now cost N300 , what have I gained.
Has devaluation not killed the increase in the IGR,
U see the useless praise singers paid online but you will never see them exposing or raising these very valuable points
https://dailytrust.com/139m-nigerians-living-in-poverty-world-bank/

For the fact that there's inflation and high exchange rate should be the reason why state should increase their IGR to complement for the losses.

If the cost of the good you need has increased, isn't it not incumbent on you to equally increase your revenue?

Make you guys dey try dey make sense na

Tinubu is working.

Nigeria will be great again

How is hyperinflation a sign of Tinubu working and Nigeria being great again?

thisweekng:
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

Again ,like I said ,there will always be agberos and hoodlums so long as your government does not run a decent economy based on industries

Yeah in your dreams.
Lagos blue print and innovations was mastermind by mobolaji Johnson, Awolowo, jakande and Tinubu.
Lagos was developed with cocoa money.
And Lagos was made capital because of her seaport that it easier to move agricultural goods abroad.
