DrGoodman:
Yorubass are boring in nature

2017 statistics is still being worked upon. The Natiional Bureau for Statistics is yet to release it. This is what decision makers have to work with for now.

DrGoodman:
Good for you, as for us we are not enjoying this country, we can grow and develop our lands faster if we have our people at the helm without the drawbacks in infrastructure and power.

If only Yorubas can become independent instead of surviving on oil and still lying about nonsensical IGR

Oil constitute less than 10% of the economy of about $500billion. Where does the other 90% of about $450billion comes from.

Even oil constitute 45% of our national budget today which is too high though it is shrinking. Non -oil sector finances 55%of our national budget.

The north and the southwest are working assiduously to free themselves from the high share that oil money represent in their budgets.

Saintsquare:
how are the Yorubas opposing it? what's our business with your restoration, must we be dragged with issue that only concern you people, leave Yorubas alone and do your thing... hian

Nobody is stopping Biafrans from emmigrating back to the east to defend their territory.

DrGoodman:
Blame Kanu, blame ibos, when will you declare Oduduwa Republic?

I expect you to start another round of yammering instead of answering this question

We love Nigeria despite the challenges. We believe in the future of this nation.

Sammy07:
Tell me what you have in the east...


let's table the mineral resources and agricultural products in the east. & I'll table southwest owns...

let's see the region that will suffer most

Ogun state also earns the highest from mining of solid minerals in Nigeria. It is therefore preposterous to assert that the SW exist on oil from the ND.

stev120:
Did you just say agriculture. .woow...!!! I never knew kola nut can give such huge amount. ..
far better than benue cassava or imo palm oil. ..what about crude oil money. .
should i say the post smells of lies am sure someone will shout. ..."that is an understatement". ..

Ogun state today has the highest numbers of green houses in Nigeria, perhaps in Africa and more are still coming up. It's a matter of time before Ogun state catch up with Lagos when the manufacturing companies on tax holidays in Ogun state start paying taxes.

DrGoodman:
Oga, stop the lies, South west economy depends on Ogoni oil Wells. You can continue to deceive yourselves till oil will dry up, then the north will surprise you and declare their own country as they will never allow you come chop kpomo with kilishi in the north.

Na that time ya eye go clear clear

SW had the biggest economy before oil. The Western region was the wealthiest then and still is. So, what are you talking about.

Sammy07:
I can see 2016


am I the only one seeing this?

2017 not yet out.

Even in 2017 , Lagos and Ogun are expected to show massive improvement in IGR collection as well as increase in the percentage of their less dependence on Federal Allocation Account.

DrGoodman:
Liars will die in hell fire, because if there is half a truth in this, yorubas would have declared Yorubanistan republic

Fake figures made up to measure your shrivelled dick.s and feel good online. But the truth is that yorubas are worse off in the quality of life index and a anytime. If you remove free things from the south west, famine will finish the population there.

I challenge you to support the division of Nigeria and see as the south west becomes another Togo

The economy of SW is not based on oil. It is based on Agriculture, Manufacturing, Hospitality businesses and services.

We've always had a good economy before oil. That is not going to change should we go our separate ways. I don't foresee the break-up of Nigeria though. Most Nigerians believe we are better together than disintegrated into smaller pieces.

Biety:
Lagos and ogun are doing fine.

Lots of commercial farms and industries are coming up in Ogun state. It is the reason why Ogun state IGR is bigger than FAA.

uglyafonja:
State sustainability index....

This post is about IGR. Its different from states sustainability index.

DEXTROVERT:
okay ooookay ooo



Op is high on cheapest liquor
how's Rivers 85billion less than Ogun 72b

meanwhile
lala and mynd4,
come and see something

There was a typographical error. I've corrected it. My apology.

The internally generated revenue for Nigeria's 36 states are out. Lagos comes first with N302.42billion. Rivers comes second with N85.28billion while Ogun State comes third with N78.92billion.
Of all the 36 states only Lagos and Ogun generates more IGR than Federal Accounts Allocation. Lagos and Ogun states 69% and 27% more IGR than FAA respectfully.

Ekiti and Nasarawa states are routed to the lowest wrung of the ladder. Statistics are shown below.

Ngozi123:
It’s amazing, really; nothing you’ve said here has actually challenged what I said in my previous post .

We have no regret that we took our own destiny in our own hands in the 50's election. Imagine where we would be today with an Azikiwe with Igbo agenda in Western Nigeria.

By the way, that Whiteman whose history book you've been touting is absolutely unqualified to tell us our history.

One of the worst thing that can happen to you is for an outsider to your issues to be the one to help you write your history.

That history book has too many gaps in it.

What I have written here about Azikiwe and Awolowo are more correct than what is in that history book.

Ofemannnu:
This was tabled down by a neutral white person who saw what happened and researched the beginning of tribalism which eventually fell on Azikiwe..

http://pcwww.liv.ac.uk/~dvdb/CH_7.pdf

Foreigners are not qualified to tell us our history.

That book left out a lot of important details. The white man wrote what he saw, but he did not see enough.

Ngozi123:
People are agreeing with the op without actually asking him which "strategic positions" Zik was alleged to have filled with Igbos.

rlauncher do go on, we are waiting...

When Azikiwe became governor-general and later on president in alliance with the north, the Yorubas suddenly find out that it was extremely difficult for them to find employment in the civil service, while it was much easier for Igbo people, leaving the Igbo people in absolute control of the Federal civil service. We understood that to be the actual reason Azikiwe dumped alliance with Awolowo's party for Sir Ahmadu Bello's party-opportunity to dominate at the federal level.

Never believe it when some historians tell you that Igbo dominance in the 60's was on merit. There was nothing statistically or scientific in any way, going by the demography and social mileuo of the nation to justify or prove that assertion.

Probz:
It’s a term used for Yorubas.

By those who hate Yoruba people.

givbitcoin:
It's known of them to easily betray any trust reposed on them. Obasanjo did it in 2017 and we must learn.

We southwesterners don't hate anyone and do not consider any people group as enemy. We believe that together, we will take Nigeria to the promised land.

Before I forget, we did not pray for the President to die. This is a kind of fake and dangerous news that could spread hatred and animosity amongst our peoples .

I would love to advise you to not abuse the previledges of expressing yourself online again God bless.

igbodefender:
Lol. Which nonsense? The nonsense no get name? For instance, when Awolowo was arrested for arrested and prosecuted 1962 he was prosecuted for coup plotting. What was Zik's crime?

Zip's crime?

Nepotism. Using his power and influence as Governor general and later as president to corner most Federal civil service posts for Igbos.

Ioseph:

Afonja was the Aare-Ona-Kakanfo (military general and commander), stationed by the Alaafin of Oyo(Yoruba Emperor) to guard the northern frontier of Yorubaland (Ilorin) against Fulani invasion. He betrayed the Alaafin and the Yoruba people enabling Ilorin to fall under Fulani control. Google the story for more information.

Edu3Again:
Rubbish Post.
What the Niger Delta needs is resource control NOT university.

All those accounts are Daura based.

Every little progress matters

manuelzz:
What is even wrong with you lots? A northerner said something about your tribesman, all you dumbos can come up with is to blame Azikiwe?

What sort of cowardice and hopelessness is this?



Tufiakwa!!

To set the record straight!

T9ksy:
Yes o! Awo and his civilian colleagues in the AG were arrested for coup plotting by the coalition of the NPC and the NCNC govt.

Trumped up charges. This was supposedly against a northern led government. The northerners knowing what actually happened compensated Awolowo with the post of finance minister in Gowon's government.

igbodefender:
Don't jump to conclusions. Were you in the judge's mind?

What if the judge meant, "My hands are tied", as in, "No matter how how highly I esteem you, justice must take its course?"

You were not there, and the judge did not clarify his statement to you. So, stop trying to put your own spin on history. Seek truth instead. Yorubas were not fools to vote for Zik. Neither you nor I forced them to do so.

Was that what actual happened. Everyone in this country now's the truth including your very self.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
That's where you failed it.
Igbos dominated all sectors then.

Now, Igbos still lead in education.

That was a time Igbos nepotism and clannishness knew no bounds. They promote their own interests above that of other people groups. When a vacancy shows up anywhere, they work hard to fill it with Igbos. It was not uncommon at that time for them to threaten even their hosts with hostile takeover of their land.

The situation is still the same today. They generally employs only their own people while you can see them working freely in establishments owned by Yoruba people and other people groups.

Why didn't you people keep your distance away from the write-up.

gabinogem:
How can a country ever move forward when its people are still dwelling in the past filled with hatred, bitterness & disgust for one another... Such a backward mentality.

Tell Igbo people to stop writing BS about us online. For some time, we kept quiet thinking those BS things will stop. But the more we keep silent, the more of it we see.

Google the word Yoruba today, most of what comes up are BS written about us by the Igbo people .

We are tired. We can't keep quiet any more.

igbodefender:
Awo is the best President Nigeria never had. But for this your assertion, kindly provide proof.

During Awolowo's trial the trial judge said, " my hands are tied ", meaning that the powers that be wants him jailed at all cost. Don't you remember that. Of course you won't since all you've been taught are revisionists history.

igbodefender:

Awolowo was framed-up. Everyone knows about that.

DanseMacabre:
Bro, was it out of Awo's unconditional love for the Igbos that he brought about the infamous ten pounds policy to reimburse them after the war, even those that had millions in the bank?


Awo was a staunch tribalist, just a highly intellectual and stealthy one.

Where in the world tell me, does civil war end in a country and the government pay any money to the vanquished rebels.

Even the then head of state Gowon does not want Awolowo to pay the money, but he still went ahead. This is documented.

What else do you call this if not an act of kindness. We have always shown kindness to Igbo people but they are never appreciative of it.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Igbos dominate that scene even more.

We don't make noise about our achievements.

Marcelo290:
It's not about what I was told, but what I factually discern to be the truth after a thorough study of history. I'm not among those who carry falsehood around out of emotions and sentiments.

Be like me, it would help you make neutral judgements without tribal affiliations.

You've been studying revisionists history. I've come across them too!
