If you make noise finish, you will still depend on Imo gas to power Lagos. Just a flip of the switch, you'll be in total darkness.

Again, IGR = Taxes.

Imo has bigger economy than any of your SW states expect Lagos. That is what matters

You guys are really delusional lol

Imo only have the highest gas reserve doesn't mean it is the only one, Lagos have its own gas reserve and even Ondo in south west have gas reserve.

You guys are clowns, which country in the world can survive without taxes, the developed countries you want to run to depend a lot on taxes.

Nigeria is already complaining of low revenues and want to find a way to increase taxes, if not that South East states are parasites and depend mostly on allocation from Federal government, you think if every states have autonomy without handout from federal government every month where would states in the East get the revenue to survive from ? from trees and by begging abi ?

Workch:
IGR does not contribute to GDP, I know you failed economics or passed it via special centre or some sort of malpractice but I can help you.

GDP is gross domestic product, it's means the value/amount of production happening in your state. Meaning, the amount of finished products coming out of your state which is an indication of the economic worth of your state.

IGR is a factor of how efficient a government can tax existing businesses in the state, whether or not they are production based businesses that add to the GDP of the state.


Did you skip economics classes? This is why we always preach that children pay attention in class else I wouldn't have to teach an adult basic economics that he would have grasp long before now.

IGR in Nigeria reflect the states that are more productive when it come to services and industrial sectors.

GDP in Nigeria favour states with more deposit of Natural resources and it is mostly estimate of the potential of the state and total value of the natural resources deposit of the state when fully invested on and explore.

IGR speak the current state and out put of the industrial and service sectors of a state but GDP include the natural resources deposit too.

Workch:
Well, IGR wise. It's GDP that later translates to IGR, and IGR is not a true indication of the economy of a place.
If a state has more GDP than another but the other has more IGR, it's an indication that the latter is taxing more than the former.
This is basic for anyone who attended a secondary school to grasp, economics was a compulsory subject in school.

You guys should keep deceiving yourselves in the East.

There are taxation and over taxation in the East, it is just that you guys are not that productive and can't generate much when it come to services and industrial sector.


GDP of states in Nigeria is mostly connected to the Natural resources deposit and potential of the state not the real reality but the prospect when the state fully explore its potential plus the natural resources.

The reason why Imo GDP is high is because of Oil and having the highest deposit of Gas which translate to a very big domestic product output when fully invested on it is not because of its industrial capacity or services.

Anambra

I can see you are a quack economy professor

How does foreign investment kill local currency and economy ? China is what it is today because of foreign investment, part of the reason why China can't easily confront the West is because their economy is tied together.


And Anambra economy is not really bigger than most south west state because Ogun, Ondo and Oyo is matching it bumper to bumper even without Lagos.

Nigercity:
Poor in which investment?
Anambra has more indigenous investment per month than any Nigeria state, Abia and IMO of recent is currently doubling up in investment

Unless you are talking about foreign investment, where Lagos,ogun takes they lead
And it's somehow bad because it's killing our local currency,
We should encourage local investment, local production and exportation to grow our economy!

For security
Insecurity in South East is overhyped by media, unknown gunmen only attacks rural part of imo and Anambra and have almost been flushed out of lately
Enugu and ebonyi, including ABA and umuahia part of Abia are one of the safest states in Nigeria!
Reason why different show and cultural festival are being held in Enugu of lately!
Then for i.g.r
Common sense should tell you that over 90% of companies in South East are indigenous, hence a little or no taxes are been paid
You can goggle it
Some years ago Abia state government announce 5 years tax waivers for there indigenous investors
Ask yourself why most south east states have more higher GDP (which is a real index for measuring development) more than most south west state
Despite south west having more i.g.r
They are still the most indebted region in the country!!
If you like giving yourself hope with I.G.R

Which south east state have higher GDP than most South west state apart from Imo state because of the Gas and Oil in the state

See your people here

These women were just the minority at the time.

Oyo palace during colonial era. Thatched roof

Which type of roof do you expect it to have at that time lol

isan:
You can log a dispute on the opay app

lol

El rufai is already gearing up to contest for president, El rufai may be the next northern president.

Rubbiish:
Which bank will give u 20% on fixed deposit for above 500k in Nigeria? Not even the likes of opay. Do u have any fixed deposit paying u 20% and allowing u to withdraw monthly? Thought withdrawal is till full duration of term.

It may be difficult to get 20% at 5m but very easy to get 10%.

for maximum return I create plan with 7 institutions and always use the flexible plan that you can get return every months.

GT Bank and some other banks even have fixed deposit flexible plan you can get return per month

Angrigowt:
He was under pressure. Right now I'm having 5m and I'm depressed. I was havin 25m. I gambled it Al away till it got to 5m.plus my clients refused to pay.by April I wan japa. He died well. U can't become rich overnite. Ole. Rot In hell u baztad

Put the remaining 5m in fixed deposit of 20% percent per annum on digital app like Opay, palm pay or traditional bank. The return per month will be more than what some civil servants or workers earn per month to take care of their family. Manage the return till you get another earning opportunity and you will also have 5m saved.

It is lavish and frivolous lifestyle that destroy a lot of people or not knowing how to manage your finances.

Many people are poor today because they don't know how to manage money, it is not because they are not making money.


If you put 25m on fixed deposit in a reputable bank for 20% per annum. You will make 5m profit a year and collect 417k per month, tell me which job can you do to earn easily like that in this Nigeria ? If that is not enough for you to sustain, that's your problem.

Some people think they will keep making big money like that and lavish it all or are just born stupid and to die miserable.

Tinubu is becoming disappointing every day, if he keep up the disappointing performance.


I assure him there's no way he is getting a second time, rigging won't be possible because he will even lose in every nook and cranny of South West.

So many idiots on Nairaland that don't read before commenting.

This idea will actually make the Discos more effective, Nigeria Discos don't have the capacity to handle a region in fact the epileptic state of electricity in Nigeria require more localisation to improve electricity distribution, that's if some Discos big men won't fight against the idea and kill it.

Jennyclay:
Another post demonising single mothers . Just look at that nonsense man shouting “100% true” repeatedly!! Mtcheww!

Biko, Let her speak for the single mothers in America

Most single mothers here in Africa, Nigeria to be precise are doing great job raising their child(ren).

Let’s understand there are many situations that make one a single mother, situations like.. widow, irresponsible father, rape, deceptive boyfriend etc

The question we should be asking ourselves is Who is the better parent?? Is it the woman that actually stepped up and took responsibility OR the foolish, deceptive and good for nothing man who abandoned his child and his responsibility??

If a woman like you raise children alone there's no way you won't use the bitterness and hatred you have for men and you constantly display here to destroy their life and make them bitter like you.

If you have a son you will transfer the aggression you have for men on him and if you have a daughter you will teach her to hate men like you. It is better for people like you to not have children , any children bear by you is doom from the start.

Notatribalist:
Headless mob that are more sensible than your entire linage. They will be remember for not voting a druggie and certificate forger. But you, you'll be remember for voting a man with so many criminal record. Shameless people

Most of the gibberish you spew can not be verify, it is all out of emotions and hate.

Most of you guys are also delusional, you believe Nigeria can be change overnight with a magic wand by your favorite politician if he become the president.

So far Tinubu is taking the right steps even if it is not perfect , we can't continue to do the same thing and expect different results.


The free float of the Naira hurt Nigeria more than even the removal of subsidy but it is for the best, it will benefit Nigeria at the long run and the economy will stabilize.

If South Africa , Kenya and Egypt can do it. Nigeria can also do it. Peter Obi lack the ball to make the real changes that Nigeria need.

NaijirianKing:
Lagos, Kogi and Kwara is not Yoruba land. Kwara is Fulani, Kogi is North Central, Lagos is a mixture of all Nigerian Tribes, no one tribe can say they control the cosmopolitan city of Lagos Nigeria. It belongs to all Nigerians.

If Yoruba are not in control of Lagos then who are ?

Is the Governor of Lagos an Igbo man?

Are the commissioners and ministers in Sanwo Olu cabinet Igbo and Hausa?

Are the law makers Igbo or Hausa ?

All the kings in Lagos are they Hausa-Fulani or Igbo ?

You can delude your self to regurgitate whatever you like but reality say otherwise. Your generation can only wail bitterly online.

yahoodetector:
Smart meters that are in use inside water abi?

How come we haven't seen them?? How come they aren't in circulation by the National Electrical Regulations Commission for use?

Abi na ghosts dey use am?

Audio Smart Meters 🤣🤣🤣

So you don't know about popular memmcol metre ?

You must be living in a Cave.

There are at least 10 indigenous metre factories in Ogun state even Ibadan is not left behind

Many of you guys still underestimate the investment of Yoruba in Lagos lol

80% of Yoruba wealth in Nigeria is in Lagos State, many Yoruba from Oyo, Ondo, Ogun Osun, Kogi, KWARA invested heavily in Lagos to make Lagos what it is today, so even if all Igbo pull out of Lagos the vacuum will be fill by other tribes or neighbouring countries.

100years from now Lagos will still be the most industrial place in Nigeria. Lagos foundation is unshakable even In industrialization today no state in Nigeria can beat Ogun state, even Anambra can't match the industrial capacity of Oyo state. It is all futile endeavor.

LOL Coming from The same Ude that usually post propaganda on Twitter

Mbanda:
You are the one that is pained and frustrated stop pretending.

I did not contradict myself in anyway. Did I in any way say that binis colonized or ruled lagos? The problem is that, your brain couldn't decipher the examples I gave you. What I meant is that, yorubas governing lagos today does not mean that, yorubas are the rightful owners of lagos.
Lagos is former bini war camp what it meant is that bini owned lagos that's why it was designated as a war camp.

How can yorubas own the highest number of industries in Nigeria, when they (yorubas) are not known for investing outside of SW?
Most of the industries in SE are own by Igbos but, most industries in SW are not owned by yorubas.
So, where did you get that kind of lie from? Is that how delusional you can be?

You keep regurgitating that fallacy of benin owning Lagos even if it doesn't make sense to you, your brain must be working in reverse. Britain once established a company called the Royal Niger company to oversee Nigeria too does that mean Britain is now the owner of Nigeria even when they met people here?

A Benin Prince was the first to settled in Onitsha does that now make Benin people owner of Onitsha today ?

Benin having a camp on a part of Lagos does that mean there were no people there before Benin created that camp ? or does that now make them entitle to all the lands in Lagos even the part that they didn't camp on ?

You think you are discussing with a clown like you, using a post from nairaland through Google to back up your claim.

You are really delusional if you believe you have more indigenous companies than Yoruba .

ryloy:
Is Mark Zuckerberg Promoting Secret Affairs with this New Features on WhatsApp ?

Is this good for safety and security?

You think people like Mark Zuckerberg give a fvck? All they care about in the west is liberation and freedom to do whatever they like even if it is cheating on their partners.

But the fact is people that will cheat will cheat even if they have no access to the internet and social media and that feature too have its benefits.

rantingpigs:
CLIMATE CHANGE ??

WHEN 95% OF THE SUPPORTERS PRACTICE OPEN DEFECATION??

IN OSUN..OGUN..KWARA...OYO..LAGOS??

JUST HIGHLIGHTING THE OBVIOUS...

Anambra is the leader in Open defecation in Nigeria the real shit hole

Mbanda:
Stating the obivious fact has nothing to do with bitterness and jealousy. Britain colonized and still controls Nigeria, that does not mean they own the land mass that is known as Nigeria today.

Yorubas are governing and attaching lagos by force. That doesn't mean they are the rightful owners of lagos know these facts and know peace.

Ogun and Oyo states can never be like lagos because, those states has never been the capital of Nigeria and they don't have seaport like lagos. Secondly, Oyo and Ogun don't harbour multinational firms and head offices.

Your fabricated lies and propaganda you call IGR can't help and stop the hunger that is ravaging your region now. We have seen series of hunger complaints and protests in your region more than any other place in Nigeria.
And that brings us to the question, where is your IGR?

Lastly, the industries in Ogun and Oyo are not indigenous like the ones in Anambra state and other places in Igbo land. What this means is that, majority of the industries you are boasting of are not owned by yorubas, unlike the ones in Anambra and other places in SE.

I can feel your pain and frustration

You are so frustrated to the extent you don't even know what you are saying, to the point you are even contradicting yourself.

If colonizing Nigeria doesn't make British the owner of Nigeria then what make Benin the right owner of Lagos ? you see how delusional you sound.

When it come to industrial capacity no tribe in Nigeria can match Yoruba, we have plenty indigenous Yoruba companies across South West but you clown should keep believing whatever suit you.

Look at the kind of advice being given to our men on Facebook, advice on how to live a very miserable and pathetic life for women.

Men must always be the one responsible and tolerating the excesses of women according to the bastard that post this nonsense online, she said if you can't it mean you are not ready for marriage as if marriage is heaven on earth or some very big prize that's only valuable to men not women.

The most annoying thing is our men have been brainwashed to think this is normal and most of them even support it, there's no way a man that tolerate all of these things in the name of love and marriage is going to live long and die in peace. Men must always be the one staying patient and compose to keep the relationship while the women can throw tantrums as much as possible and get away with it because she is a woman.

Men must tolerate all these for Nigerian woman that hardly bring anything to the table, if i have a friend that support this kind of opinion, i will reconsider our friendship.

Mbanda:
Have you asked yourself, why yorubas always boast with lagos? You can't see northerners boasting with Abuja and kano the way yorubas always do with lagos. This their unending boasting has made people to dig out the history of lagos, And now everybody knows that binis are the real owners of lagos not the yorubas.

You guys should believe what ever naration you like to hide your jealousy and bitternes but reality says otherwise, Lagos is in the south west and in control of Yoruba.

Ogun State and Oyo state is becoming the new Lagos even Ondo should never be underestimated. Imagine Ogun state having more IGR than all the 5 south east developers land combined.


After Lagos today no state in Nigeria come close to Ogun in industrial capacity even Oyo is an industrial juggernaut.

ahaz:
My friend close your gutter mouth.. A bulding is not something that can be concilled from it's foundation stage to it's very completion.
There are indigenes living in that area, there are hoplesw Obas and baales that collected money regarding indigene royalties, the youths are there and then, the useless lagos state government officials do collect there's too.
So are you saying all this categori s of people where under spell when this buldings were going up? Well I don't blame you, I blame my brothers who don't want to reason the way the ought to reason as far as am concern, lagos state government are doing we people a favour, they should take it further by arresting anyone that speaks the language of the tribe they are targeting so that they can think home at last

Typical Igbo bush pigmy blame everyone without being able to take responsibility and accountability.

Common sense should tell you that you shouldn't embark on the journey of illegality even if there are currently no one to enforce the law. That place is clearly blocking the canal.

It is just like a thief that robbed a house and he's blaming the house owners of not employing guards or not putting adequate security in the house to guard against thieves. The thief may escaped but it doesn't mean he wouldn't be caught in the future.

Your people intentionally embark on illegality and hope to get away with it, too bad they can no longer get away with it.

Felimax:
The answer is in the question! The Igbos are not only in Yoruba land. They are all over the WORLD! Deal with it, it's a FACT!

The Igbos does not need any tribe to grow!
They only need a sizable amount of people!
They love themselves more before anybody!
Their definition of Education is different from the circular and still criss-crossing the circular. These are fact!

The average Igbo boy is more dynamic and functional than the average regular Nigerian that is not Igbo. I cannot take the fact away that they are blessed.

They come to a simple town and rent a store and in due time makes an industry out of that place.

Take the Igbos out of Lagos and the IGR of Lagos will reduce by 85% is a fact because Yorubas don't pay tax.


Consider these fact for a while and disprove it.
The top 5 industrial market in Lagos and by extension Nigeria is dominated by the Igbos.

Alaba International
Ladipo Spare parts Market
Computer Village
Ojota Chemical Market
Idumota.

These are literally the biggest market in Lagos built by those hardworking Igbos and you think Lagos will remain the same if you ask these people out..

Lastly, go and write it down nobody can take Igbos out of Lagos.

You are a clown

Yoruba don't pay tax but IGR of Ogun state is more than the IGR of the entire South East that pay tax?

South East is full of Igbo people but they can not even match Ogun state or Oyo state in IGR generation ? and it is Yoruba people that doesn't pay tax ?

You are very mad and you have no one to tell you, your brain is clearly flat and dull like your type and you think upside down.
