Please how are they making more money during the lock down? Can you throw more light? For a state like Lagos, the amount of money they make in a day as IGR when the state is at full function is far more than what they can get during lockdown. So I don't understand your point of more money

Dont mind the dummies, how much is Corona money compared to lagos IGR.

In another word, Only states with spikes like Lagos would be shutdown.

Lagos State Govt and NCDC would be happy with this news... More money to their account.

Do you know how much is Lagos state IGR?
how much you think FG will give them that they'll not gain if their economy was open?
FG wey don dey broke

Honestly I am taken aback with how some people reason and put out things here. It doesn't add up at all. The FG and state governments are loosing billions due to lock down and people keep saying they are locking down to make money. The more they make money the easier it is for them to embezzle. How much do they even realize from Covid-19 during lockdown compared to when everything was normal?

But how? I thought the more money coming to the coffers,the more the governor or others can embezzle. Without lock down, there will be more money coming, so I don't still get it

. just wait until some state governors start quoting how much dey have spent to fight covid19. then you can come back to me.

They can do that even more in the name of contracts award etc during normal activities. So I don't still understand. They are going to loose more money from FG allocation and IGR, so what's the point in deliberately locking down?

No need for another lockdown. Just use this measures;

1. Do more testing

2. Wearing of face mask and use of hand sanitizers

3. Continuous banning of large gathering,churches,mosques till situations improve.

I support this

Some states have taken over the lockdown orders from the FG which they dish out at will, Mr Boss need not worry again.

I just want to urge you all to please fear God or anything you hold dear.

The suffering occasioned by the lockdown is becoming unbearable. Only Government workers seems not bothered.

If you care to know majority of the workers in private establishments have become vulnerables.

Pls leave govt workers out of this... When the same government is owning the same civil servants 5 to 18 month salary areas nobody they send them.. Tell govt to give you palliatives its ur right

For me ehn, Lagos Should be lockdown if truly this thing is real. What does "Isolated Lockdown" mean? Are they crazy or something? Some parts of the State is gonna be lockdown while some parts are gonna be free? Awon Oloriburuku gbogbo

People are still going Inter-State despite their foolish claimed Inter-State lockdowns. So, who's deceiving who? Awon werey!!!

Despite the fast increase of coronavirus cases in Lagos, Isolated Lockdown is what you want to consider? Awon Oloshi

These bastards are coming up with different scam ideas all because they don't want to responsible while people will continue to die.

And for those who don't want to accept the reality of the virus, I pity you and your reasoning faculty.

Which states are still under complete lockdown? We have to distinguish between the effects of a ban on commercial activities and movement ( lockdown) and the slow down in demand for goods and service ( macro economy). They aren't the same. In the case of the second, the drop in FGN earnings has led to tightness in state expenditure and a fall in consumer confidence. This is economic. Even if covid 19 dissappears tomorrow the economy will take months to recover and jobs will still be lost.

Let's differentiate between the two. Its not lockdown that is affecting people now it is the slow down in the global economy.

There was never a nationwide lockdown.
The FG locked down 3 states.

More money...? It's obvious you are an Economics illiterate

You don't know anything about Economics.

Lagos VAT and Port charges goes to Federal Govt. No state in Nigeria produce Anything viable, same as Federal Govt.
That's by the way.
Nigeria runs psudeo socialism economy system... Oil money is not invested, it is redistributed and consume.
That's also by the way.

The pandemic crisis, just like war time money is raised and spend without due process based on emergency, health sector in Nigeria have received and spent in 3 month more than they have received in 4 years.

In US, if you treat a Corona virus patient you receive $10k, if they use ventilator, you receive $30k.
It's a boom for the health sector but like Margret Thatcher said "The problem with socialism is soon you run out of people's money"

Lagos has not yet run out of the donation they received both in cash and kind... They need the extension to justify spending the money already allocated for COVID-19

Lagos is yet to spend the billion allocated for COVID-19 response. The more the extension, the more the spending.
And everything done , the price is inflated.

Lastly, most state govt does not produce anything.

Civil service in Nigeria always run losses even NNPC.

Most state like Anambra that did not receive Bloc sum have since open up, no COVID-19 budget to spend.
German, Iran and co that is seriously been hit left and right with deaths have open up... Lagos with less than 3 daily is still planning to lock down.

Who send you this kain pay less errand? You that believe that when a state is (partially) locked down is when she makes more money dey even talk.
Inconsistent economist!

Please if you read news about our economy regarding IGR, you will know that your point is well of mark especially on Lagos. In the first half of 2019 Lagos generated 205.1billion IGR, i.e 34billion per month without lockdown.
In the period of lockdown, businesses were closed down, including markets, how much do you think they can generate? Now compare a meager 15billion given to Lagos to cover over two months during lockdown as against over 68 billion the state would have made on average over the same period.
So, whichever way you look at it, every state governor will prefer the lockdown to be lifted because more money will come in and it will even be easier to embezzle with more money than less money coming in.
I am sure even if you are the state governor, you will prefer to open your economy. Nigeria as a whole and each state government is loosing so much under this lockdown as compare to any kind of donations they are receiving

We are here expecting palliative like those developed countries do but one of the reason we can't enjoy most of the thing we see abroad aside bad leadership is that this is a country were we have more tithe payers then tax payers.

Yes, be it any disease who will die will die even with the cure. Se headache no dey kill person ni abi person no dey sleep and die. But the concern here is no cure, even when the cure is available that doesn't mean people will not die from it.
Something must kill person.
