Since the east is short on those aforementioned resources (natural, agricultural, human, industries n so on) and 3 out of 5 states still managed to generate more than #10b compared with 2 out of 13 core northern states that accomplished that feat, not minding d fact that north has some of those resources. if the east now have about 50% nko??

Don't you ever in your life call the north parasites because we feed you. All the grains and beef you eat is it being farmed in your village?

DerideGull:


Education from a garbage truck. Who is USA indebted?

DerideGull:


Omo Kanda, yet some folks in the shithole called Nigeria will run short of suicide when disintegration is mentioned. How humanly possible that people who erroneously flaunt themselves as IGR maker are the same ones to develop convulsion when disintegration of Nigeria is slightly invoked?

ocelot2006:


And all the oil thats this nation's MAIN MONEY EARNER and source of your infrastructural funds, where do you think it comes from?

newbornmacho:
The Igbos in other regions are responsible for the igr in those regions.

joeyfire:


Leave all this awada kerikeri. Ogun State is nothing without Lagos, Lagos is NOTHING without diversity

Truthcat:
You can't give what you don't have. If you can't do it in your house, you can't do it in your neighbors house. You ibos contribute nothing to your host communities, you are freeloaders.

CSTR2:

Two Niger delta states are in the SE.

what are you on about?

0monnak0da:
You are very intelligent


The point is a simple one what fraction of a state's GDP is IGR and what fraction is allocation.


The greater the latter is the more parasitic it is

That is very elementary logic When a state funds its budget by 90$ allocation then parasitism comes into the equation except for the major oil producing states non of which is in the SE . If it was it would reflect in the size of the allocation

OkutaNla:


Are you minding that ignoramus? We have asked them to show us these ibos that are responsible for the IGR of other regions coz most taxes aren't gotten from 2x2 shop traders. Even Lagos derives most of its IGR from PAYE which stands 'pay as you earn' and is personal income tax from employees' salaries and wages through deduction at source by an employer (and we all know those who constitute the bulk of that revenue stream, and they are NOT ibo traders). Ditto Ogun as well as Oyo. Leave them make dem continue to delude themselves.

joeyfire:


If Lagos was a house, Ogun State would be the cheap BQ. Ogun owes EVERYTHING to being next to Lagos.

joeyfire:
FG used oil money to build this. Pls show me what you people built with IGR biko

Na una be the chief parasites

DerideGull:


When disintegration of Nigeria is mentioned, you wail like a heavy rain.

GoroTango:
Don't you ever in your life call the north parasites because we feed you. All the grains and beef you eat is it being farmed in your village?

0monnak0da:
It is a tax but the parasite argument here is based on the premise that the core f the SE budget is based on allocations from other regions so without those allocations the SE governments are not viable

That is the point of discussion here

Compare with Ogum state where 70% of budget is IGR

so we are talking about how much of ths budget is Internally Generated and how much is allocation??

GoroTango:
How can you call the north parasitic when we practically feed this country?

PrecisionFx:





""without those allocations the SE governments are not viable""

Lmao, Na craze de worry una.

Same SE that cannot survive in Nigeria said ok let me carry my useless self n form my own country for the poor and the Afonja n Awusa scream heavy NOOOOO. U must stay wit us in Nigeria.


That's how to know who the parasites are in descending order.

Meanwhile SE is a geographic expression, or isn't the home of the igbos.

Igbo land spans to SS n in that SS, the most populated tribe is Igbo.

0monnak0da:


How does trying to take Ore translate into leaviing . Trying to take Benin? Trying to take SS?

Greedy and covetuous people!!


Truth is that you tried to take what was not yours and paid dearly for it.

Now you are free to leave and go anywhere you like: Libya Jerusalem etc

GoroTango:
As for you inyamiri there is no greater parasite than you, which goes a long way to explain the low IGR your region generates and what ten million of your destitute brethren are doing in mine.

shervydman:

U normal at all

newbornmacho:
The Igbos in other regions are responsible for the igr in those regions.

PrecisionFx:

Lmao, taking ore n ogbomosho to use it and coup which soup? As in Ofe Ora? Lol.

Now run along boy, join the other Piglets in the mud for a mud fight.

Cuz If u were a man, u would have understood what happened in ore.

Obi1kenobi:
Yes. The South East is parasitic. Short on industries. Short on agricultural output. It's the least naturally endowed region in the country when you look at the size, population, paucity of mineral or natural resources, landlocked location etc. On top of all this, it has easily the lowest level of Federal infrastructural or industrial investment. By far.

I wouldn't say we're as parasitic as the North. Only Kano and Kaduna out of the 13 "core North" states (i.e the real abokis in the NE and NW) raise up to N10billion a year in IGR, while 3 SE states out of 5 manage to do so. I'm surprised it's not 4 out of 5 as I'm shocked Imo can only raise just over N6billion in IGR in a year which puts them at the level of Ebonyi. Well done o, Okorocha.
