Lagos ilu owo

nanizle:
Now compare this figure to the sorry state of infrastructure in Lagos!


Where is all this money going to?

Ghana:
Population- 28 million, budget - 5 trillion naira

Lagos:
Population - 22 million, budget - 1 trillion naira, IGR 400 billion.

The money as big as you see it represents under performance, Lagos IGR should be in the region of 3-4 trillion.

New York state:
Population - 24 million, budget $120 billion, = 43 trillion naira.
That means what New York will do in one year, Lagos needs 43 years to gather the same money at current rate. They after all buy from same market, trains, vehicles, equipment etc

sirfemoz:
It should be 90% considering how much those trailers and tankers pay on daily basis. Not to talk of the agbero and population of the state. The question should be, what have the states done with their IGR to better the life of its citizens.

more than 70% of the igr come from P.A.Y.E. not all these petty traders with 2by 2 shops like the noise makers from east.
south east region igr is equivalent of ogun state jesus!!!

Lagos is over populated compared to available income and infrastructure. Hence, we can't get there in 10 years. It's gradual.

Tinubu did things, Fashola imporved, Ambode did what Fashola couldn't do. Another Governor would continue.

By 2027, Lagos would be better than what we have in 2018.

allthingsgood:
It is not Abuja infrastructure that's the problem. Its your useless state governors that keep siphoning your wealth and the lazy stupid youths that play the ostrich that's the biggest problem!

Some people don't know this.

lilfreezy:
Lagos was once the nations capital, so it had the advantage of gaining in infrastructure development from the federal government. Let's not forget about the availability of seaport as well as a fully functional international airport. If other states had fully functional international airports and seaport do you think people will be bothering themselves coming to Lagos to do business?

Let's not forget, with all that revenue, Lagos is yet to have uninterrupted power, don't have a proper waste management scheme, residents drill their boreholes as no waterboard management. Tell us again what's the usefulness of all that IGR Oh! I forgot, it's all for tinubu

Rivers has fully functional airport and seaport plus huge oil installations and highly paid oil workers, why is the IGR far from Lagos?

centurionpapa:
Ogun state igr is more than the sum of the five SE state

This one is bringing tribalism into serious economic dealings. Fact remains that Ambode suppose to be in jail if this report is true.

Just see the IGR of northern states and they are the ones with over 40 local governments per state and inflated populations. What does this tell u? They are living on the south

Ovamboland:
Rivers has fully functional airport and seaport plus huge oil installations and highly paid oil workers, why is the IGR far from Lagos?

The airport and seaport in rivers state isn't fully functional. They have very limited flight destinations and the seaport is basically for petroleum export while Lagos is receives refined petroleum products. Oga just tell yourself the truth.

Mehn! Lagos IGR is extremely intimidating o. People will now agree that Ambode is an abysmal failure considering the revenue generated against the infrastructure on ground in the state

High revenue with nothing to show for it in some areas in Lagos. Roads are bad,power supply still poor. Only those on the island are favoured. Roads spoil our vehicles yet we pay heavily on road worthiness. I attended a wedding ceremony somewhere in Ayobo n its as if i was in the village. We looked like time travellers. There is God oooo.

Lagos, Rivers, Ogun and Delta state.

Look at the sorry state of Delta.

solveprob:
The only person that made sensible comment so far. Nobody asks where such huge funds go to.

You just took those words outta my mouth.

Of course tinubu legally steals over 10% of that amount to keep his political machinery functioning. And the governor knowing this, will certainly help himself very significantly to that tune or more.

Beyond this, what has been declared is significantly less than the actual figures.

If the guys in power in Lagos are kind enough to steal only 10% of the actual amount being generated, Lagos should be in a much more developed state than it is.

Ovamboland:
Rivers has fully functional airport and seaport plus huge oil installations and highly paid oil workers, why is the IGR far from Lagos?

Fully functional in what way exactly?


The thing is, the states are not performing as they should. Over #300b looks big in the eyes of many, but it's really not compared to what Lagos is capable of. Same for Other states as well especially Rivers and Delta.

All these iPods sef. Always shouting ports, ports. Is port revenue part of state IGR?

davodyguy:
The question to who? Do you reside in Lagos?
How much are they making from trailers?
How much are they making from Àgbèro?

I stay in Lagos. I work in Lagos. I have tax card. There's agbero in each bus stop that collects money from all the commercial buses. All those trailers pays money to whoever.

Heheheee!

ObservantFellow:
Lagos had been the commercial hub of Nigeria for over 20 years and will continue to hold a clear lead until there is a concrete plan by the FG to at least, create a fair playing ground for other regions; e.g wholeheartedly, test run other ports. Not to discredit the efforts of LASG to take full advantage of opportunities though

Nigeria's youth; always fail in simple logic or is it simple English.

I'm not here to compare IGR. Those south eastern states performs better interms of development with their little IGR. Just to drive out of Victoria Island last nite, I spent more than 30mins just cos of a small pot hole. Lagos states makes a lot of money through IGR, but what is it being used for?

boolet:
Apapa no be small thing oo.

You should be talking about Victoria Island, Ogba, Ikorodu road, Ibeju lekki, the industrial clusters created by awolowo, and now Ogun state. Lagos is the INDUSTRIAL CAPITAL of Nigeria. 70% of all major companies in Nigeria (industry & services) are in Lagos & they pay taxes to the state & the federal.

Nothing in Apapa goes to the state coffers. Nothing.

[Tell them ? They should go and read the pre colonial histry i.e THE ECONOMIC HISTORY OF WEST AFRICA.


20 years? No, even before Nigeria was created.[/quote]

How's that contributing to LASG's IGR?

Akwa Ibom isn't doing badly.


Lagos here I come in 2019!
Fighting fears and trying to be brave and relocate to Lagos where my talents will be appreciated.

30 minutes driving around a pot hole or crater ?

allthingsgood:
Eastern states have some of the lowest igr. Yet they are the biggest noisemakers about restructuring. People that have zero assets to restructure. Lolz

They are hoping to corner rivers and akwa ibom to themselves na. They keep telling the SSners dt rivers is ngwocha & dt igbos rule most of the SS states. The brainwashing is in progress.

If the FG goes back to 50% allocation like the 1st republic, dt will be the best for everyone to compete. Then the SS states will have like trillions in IGR, dts when u'll see complete total claiming by igbos. This faraway Lagos own na small thing.

Buharimustgo:
They are supposed to have 50% ,because of deliberate concentration of,and monopoly of Federal Revenue agencies.
Why will it be only in Lagos state that Nigerians will clear their containers?

Clearance fee goes to FG purse, not state. FG owns the port.

you no Sabi anything. read this to clear your mind. Help me ask these ignorant people. Majority of what happens in Apapa are controlled by Federal government. The taxes are federal collected by FIRS. This add little to IGR. These kids needs to know that Apapa is even a disaster for Lagos. The customs, police and other government agencies at the ports are under federal government. The customs duties you pay to clear your goods goes to FG, not LASG. Atiku's Intel is working with NPA. NPA is an agency of Federal Government. Lagos makes no direct income from ports. It's federal government that makes the money and they share to all 36 states. Apapa port case should not be used
VAT and company income taxes are collected by FIRS and not Lagos State. Oil company pays taxes to FG, while staff pay taxes to LASG.
Lagos makes more money from
P A Y É PIT
Land Use Charge
Hotel and consumption tax.
Title documents registration/ perfection in Alausa
Sale of land in Government Scheme.
Physical Planning approval
Surveyor General
LASBCA
Petrol station taxes
Adverts
Vehicle license
Etc
Idiots should stop talking about income from ports or oil revenue. Without federal allocation, Lagos is doing so well. Ask Tinubu How he did it from 2003 to 2007.
It's the Governors of other states that are killing their citizens

No forget to Add Lagos State Gaming Commission where all the betting platforms pay their annual licenses.

Lagos should just buy like 10 states and be controlling

The difference is very clear.

The northern states are really underperforming. They are the big problem in the country

centurionpapa:
Ogun state igr is more than the sum of the five SE state

good observation. But for your info IGR is not GDP. IGR is taxes.

Now let me ask u...lets say enugu govt decideds to tax shop owners 1200 naira evey month whil ogun govt taxes shop owners 2500 naira every month...do u see why and hw they would have a larger igr?

Now am not saying that ogun doesnt have more factories than each SE state individually...but really do u think ogun has more factories than all se states put together? Really?
