All going 2dia pockets

This is really huge amount to ensure good development in each statement.


But wait, did i see 68. 9 billion for one state?
Hmmmmm..... Thatd really huge amount o to compare my state, Enugu state that was given 16.12 billion o

Abia state 16.7bn still they owe workers up to 6months salary this state is cursed tufia!!!!!!!

Hugostores:
off course less than 10% are paying tax because the remaining are either jobless or can barely survive on their income.

Lol you don't understand taxing

navyseal2220:
Afonjas will be looking at SS allocations like this.....

Look at Anambra debt deduction...my Goodness. Love it!

Mr. Navy



savage u are




no chill u have

.

Osun gave more than it got? Guys over there must be wolves.

Funny enough in 2009 when I did my national service in Ipetumodu, Osun State, the Prince of Okuku was governor and Aregbesola wanted to take over. He looked like he was the messiah.

Its really funny how these things work and how peoples hope get well ruined by their people in government.

Over bloated and Lazy civil service gobble all the funds in the states and throw the states into huge debt.

moofukas

How come Osun state is always at the bottom of every chart? Enlighten me please.

This is actually very small to run a state

Imagine my state imo with over 3million people with 17bn in 6 months ??

If every individual is taxed 5k a month that's 15bn every month and with that we will get our desired development and we will have reason to hold our governors accountable

But no we decide to spend far more to achieve nothing

A typical car owner in Nigeria will spend 400k a years averagely to maintain his cars

But as him to pay a tax of 10k a month for road maintaince that will save his car he will protest

We have over 11 million cars in Nigeria ...if on average each pays 10k every month that's 110bm that's over 1.2 trillion on road maintaince

Say federal government takes 30% and states 70% of what you contribute tell me why we would have bad roads

globemoney:

How about state of osun with over 80% income deducted? If Bayelsa is a failed state what do we call state of osun? Afonjas and hypocrisy, propaganda, being silly, mischief are 5 and 6

Leave that yoloba he goat.

ritababe:
why deduct small amount from Anambra (the lowest I think) and then allocated heavy amount for them?

Go to romance section because your brain can't understand that simple arithmetics

A very good contribution,but think about it. Do we have credible leaders who will judiciously utilize the hard fetch tax payers money, when it is obvious that such money will go to a private purse, later you see them claiming to be the richest man in Africa.Our munmun don do

Chai Osun state is in mess.
That state is the most useless in the whole of Africa

PassingShot:
So, what business do some of the rich states have with owing salaries?

Bayelsa, is a typical example of a FAILED STATE if we compare her level of development to her income.

Is this also as a result of FG or failure to restructure?

God bless you for this comment. See the allocation Bayelsa state has yet most of her parts are still in a sorry state.
SMH for our democracy!

234ng44uk:
How can Bayelse with just 8 local governments and a poplulation of 1.7million people owe salaries and remain grossly underdeveloped despite earning more than states with 6 times its size and population?

Our problem as a nation is definitely not due to lack of resources, but corruption and bad leadership. Trust me, this will not go away even if Nigeria is splitted to different entities. It won't also go away by replacing the old crop of leaders with younger ones as the youths are as bad as it comes.

Is there a solution? There is no solution, at least not in this generation. We are bad, cruel, desperate and very corrupt inside out. There is no hope for Nigeria.

Talk about Osun state. Stop living an Ostrich life

Chai, see oil money flowing on the streets of some states yet no development. Taaahhh. Those leaders are caused!

Dickson!!!!! Dickson!!!
Gov okowa go talk say money nor dey......some govs can lie

Blood of Abraham See how much Akwa-Ibom is collecting, and yet there's so much hunger in the state

diana158:
you can use this to assess the performance of your state Governor.
Governors should be rated base on the resources avalaible, and how well they have applied the income to better the lives of their people. Because there are Governors with lower allocations that are performing very well but because they are not building flyovers and bridges, sadly nobody talks about them.

Abeg go siddon. What else are they doing apart from paying salaries. Oil revenue, VAT, duties, royalties, taxes all go to pay 5% of the population. The rest of the population pay themselves and provide everything else for life and living.

Where things work properly your idea would make sense. Road taxes are paid abroad. And govts are very accountable.

OBJ spent around $20bilion on roads and yet no results. Also consider affordability of 10k monthly to an average civil servant. In addition to having to fuel his gen and provide his own water, pay his kids' medical bills and others due to govt irresponsibility.

Govt needs to do things properly first with the what they have now. And citizens will pay if they can expect real goodies.

But while spending scarce resources on govt officials medical trips, people would be very sceptical.

na question I ask na

Dickson!!!!!!!!!!
. If any of una know Dickson abeg tell am say he dey fuvk up

Hier:


IS THE SHARING ACCORDING TO THEIR POPULATION

dont really think so, though population might be one of the criteria. what comes out of a state like VAT(value added tax), crude oil etc. influences the sharing higher

mrvitalis:

For most states this are minimal

Even if that is true, it is not enough to use as excuses.

Many years ago, during ex-Gov Attah's administration, he demanded for "resources control" for the states, few understood him or his vision and his efforts were frustrated.

Today everybody is talking restructuring and economic devolution, which is tantamount to demanding for resources control without using the phrase "resources control"

kokomaster3d:
The truth is the Igbos are not even contributing anything in Nigeria. The oil is hugely found in the South South. So afonja Kanu is greedy and selfish by misleading the Igbo people for self determination.

our sense of enterprenurship helps this country and mind u the south south are also igbos is the war nigeria/biafra which disintergrated us go check wella

Most of the state governors thrive on the local government allocation.

The would rather appoint caretakers to man those local councils and give them peanut.

mrvitalis:

Lol you don't understand taxing

pls enlighten me about taxing

Keneking:

See Anambra deductions...very small (if it were Peter Obi, that figure would be compared to Lagos)

wot do you mean dis nonsense

Yes. It is the failure of the system which only restructuring can address. And please do not call it income because it is not. States get grants. Income is the product of work or investmment and as far as I know Bayelsa has no investment in the oil industry so how is it an oil rich state. And since they are grants there is no accountability and since there is no accountability there will be financial impropriety manifest as poverty. Restructure and Bayelsa will find money to invest in oil production and the income from that will be managed properly. Why? Because those who give them the money will demand accountability just as they do from Dangote and other private citizens. It is the structure that matters. If Dangote was receiving a free 15 billion every month without anyone asking questions he will not be where he is today. Remember Dangote is not from an 'oil rich' state.
