Ha thankS for the bolded.

Hellooooooo Hellooooo Sarrki isn't the Op of this thread. See why I believed and said , you were and still confused " ?

totit:



What's these for earth sake? I am lost here, can somebody explain to this little girl that she's lost or confuse while trying but actually struggling to be smart ? Did you read the OP at all, did he provide any link to his aba made nonsense to start with, and who brougt that yeye link set, no be you?

Time and time I have corrected you but you won't just lean. Ha han now? Wetin nAh

Here and again, here is the recent and comprehensive table, and stop stressing yourself because it makes you sound lost and separate to prove none visible point there is not.

You may be lost but I'm not. This entire conversation is a spin off from the one initially started based on the "aba-made" stats posted by Sarrki with the sole aim of showing the SE as the least productive region, which both the "aba-made" stats and your "reliable" stats have debunked.

totit:



What converse with a troll that argue without facts? Whatever that was, the artificial table you provided that lack integral part is nothing but nonsense.

Now, let me ask you, is Ogun and few states missing or not in that news you called stat or not?

You are a joke honestly.

totit:



Lmao. Recent indeed. And where was Ogun on the so called " recent " link you provided? I have provided you with the recent and comprehensive table. Mind you, Ogun has been leading the whole of SE as far back as 2017.


Loll

Your line of argument actually sounds silly, Akwa Ibom and Rivers with 1/4 of Lagos state's population, huge allocations, and IGR are actually richer than Lagos state and they really should be far ahead of Lagos state, but they are not because it's not always about advantage, money or commercial capital, it's always about leadership talent and personal qualities of the administrators.

Commerce is all about money and the SS states have more of it and less population than Lagos regardless of Lagos state as whatever commercial capital you are talking about

You can have all the money and advantages in the world, but unless you know how to manage it for more growth, you are not going anywhere.

Abeg stop the weak argument.

Ma'am , you can't give what you don't have. If , the whole of SE couldn't raise some igr beyond what a state in SW (Ogun state precisely----which I belief have lowest popolulation of southwesterners when measure with the whole of SE) then the whole numbers and delusional maths is nothing but but a face-saving tactics for SE failure.

Una simply be parasite. Simple!!!

You just have to laugh at their infantile and comedic excuses.

sarrki:
The total revenue received by the Lagos state government in 2018 was higher than what was received by the entire south-east region.

The south-east region consists of five states namely: Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo.

Lagos generated total revenue of N501.2 billion while the entire south-east region generated N340.1 billion.

The state’s 2018 revenue was also higher than that of the northeast and north-central, which was N351.5 billion and N378.7 billion respectively.

This is contained in the Quarterly Review document of the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI).

The revenue of states was calculated as the sum of the internally generated revenue (IGR) and allocations from the federation accounts allocation committee (FAAC).



The total IGR generated by states in 2018 was N1.103 trillion while the total FAAC allocations were N2.849 trillion.

Lagos state had the highest total revenue of N501.2 billion while Osun had the lowest at N33.2 billion.

“This implies that the total revenue of Lagos State was 13.9% of the combined total revenue of all states. Also, if the states with the highest and lowest revenues are compared, the revenue of Lagos State was 15 times or 1,518% of the revenue of Osun State,” the report read.

“The total revenue of Lagos State (N501.2 billion) exceeded total revenue of each of three zones: North Central (N378.7 billion), North East (N351.5 billion), and South East (N340.1 billion).

“While the total revenue received by Lagos State is higher than the total revenue of each of these zones, the total revenue of the South-South is higher than the combined total revenue of all three zones. The total revenue received by Lagos State is greater than the combined total revenues received by nine states (N449.49 billion) – Osun, Ekiti, Zamfara, Ebonyi, Gombe, Taraba, Cross River, Nasarawa, and Adamawa.”



On a zonal basis, the south-south zone recorded the highest total revenue (N1.102 trillion), followed by the south-west with N877.8 billion.

The north-west zone came in third with N546.5 billion, north-central with N378.7 billion, north-east with N351.5 billion and south-east recorded the lowest with N340.1 billion.

totit:


Both

totit:




This is not about population ( I know not where you got your population figure thou) its about the igr and what each region generate.

By the way, if we are to focus more on population I should belief SE population is far and higher than SS. Ain't I right.

By the way, when we talk about igr in Nigeria and regional base forget numbers , it is all for the pride. Forget logic.

plaindealer:




Lagos as the commercial capital bah?

I remember when Fashola was the governor of Lagos state, Lagos state with all the commercial capital excuse you are talking about used to borrow nearly half of their budget from banks while states like Akwa Ibom budgets even larger budgets than Lagos/Fashola, but Akwa Ibom still achieved less than Lagos state across the board.

It is not always about money, it's always about leadership and talented people making the right decisions.

Commercial capital doesn't alter the fact that Lagos is part of the SW, ruled and governed by the people of the SW with their talent and ingenuity and the same talent and ingenuity that the same people of the SW are massively replicating in Ogun state.

Funny when Lagos was generating measly N500 million per month, it wasn't a commercial capital and Tinubu was corrupt and greedy, but his ingenuity and smarts turned N500 million per month into well over N34 billion per month. So, what was responsible for that? Brains, smarts, talent, and ingenuity or just commercial capital.

Lagos is excelling because of good leadership and sensible leaders, not commercial anything. You can have all the money and opportunities in the world and still achieve nothing.

Lagos is thriving and is the commercial capital that every Nigerian seek for survival is available today because their leaders in Lagos.

Lagos is part of the SW, commercial capital or not.

You people need to stop discounting and using Lagos as a rallying cry to justify and rationalize incompetence and poor performance in other places.

I thought the north is the region taken the large chunk of the country's development and all while SE are being marginalized ?

Peter Obi has neither shame or commonsense. The gay-voiced dwarf and his shiny-lipped master Atiku lost because of Obi's political worthlessness.

How would Obi be from Igboland and Yorubas give more votes to Obi than Igbos?

Maybe he was hoping to import votes from China.

But he is intellectually sound - there you have it.

It takes an intelligent person to write and sell over 10 million books in his life time(apart from pirated copy)

It takes an intelligent person to attract loyal church members from Ikoyi, Lekki, Ajah to join him in worship in Ota, Ogun state(a place with bad roads)despite tons of awesome, amazing churches like(daystar, house on the rock, elevation) along the way.

It takes an intelligent man to be one of the top 10 most prominent clerics in a country with a crowded field of about 200,000 clerics.

It takes an intelligent person to gather 400,000 worshippers under tutelage. If you say the Church is a business, then you must agree with me that one person gathering 400,000 customers in any sector takes a large chunk of the market share.

It takes an intelligent person to provide his church city with 24/7 light since 1999. A feat your govt has not been able to achieve for its own Nation's capital.

It takes an intelligent man to have created a university barely 20 years of age, now highly rated than over 70 years old University of Ghana and even UI.

chukxie:


This is an educative post. Kudos, sir.
I have two questions I'd like you to clarify on.
1: Why is "They are discussing about the weather" wrong?
Structure: discuss + about + sth or sb

Example:
The seminar was successful in bringing together local farmers to discuss about mechanized farming practices.

The clue is in the definition of the word "discuss". Discuss means "to talk about (something) with another person or group of people."
So if you discuss about a subject, you would be talking about about that subject.

2: You said 'mild' should be pronounced "mald". Shouldn't it be pronounced  / maɪld / with stress emphasis on the vowel 'I'?
Maild/myld is correct

P.S: often can be pronounced with or without the 't'
/ 'ɒfən, 'ɒftən /

Thanks.

Rapmoney:
Some Grammatical Blunders You Should Avoid

We make some grammatical blunders everyday in our interactions with others. I once visited a private school and was disappointed that the instructors in the school were not laying a good foundation for sound grammar for the kids. Children are very sensitive to copying what they see or hear. Teachers in schools and parents at home should be mindful of this because kids copy a lot and are greatly prone to accept what they hear as correct.

Below are some grammatical blunders we should avoid while speaking, especially, to kids:

1) 'Stop matching march me' (WRONG).
Instead, say ' Stop stepping on me'. To 'match march'
means to walk with quick calculated steps in unison
by a group of people, especially, in the military.

2) 'He is my junior brother' (WRONG).
Instead, they 'He is my younger brother'.

3) 'On my way to Lagos, I'll branch my sister's house'
(WRONG). Instead, say 'On my way to Lagos, I'll visit
my sister or I'll go to my sister's house'. There's no
verb as 'branch' in English which means the same
thing intended by the speaker.
( I will make a stopover or I'll visit my sister for a few hours/ days. Your correction does not capture the brevity of the visit that the slang "branch" is supposed to convey)

4) 'I saw your missed calls' (WRONG).
Instead, say 'I missed your calls'. The calls were
missed because you didn't pick or not disposed to
do that.
(The contexts are slightly different. Your recommendation would be correct if used as follows:- "I'm sorry I missed your calls". However, if you were explaining to someone that you've literally seen/ noticed their attempt(s) to reach you by phone in your call log, then "I've just seen missed calls from you" or "I saw missed calls from you yesterday" might be more apt)
5) 'He is drinking mineral' (WRONG).
Instead, say 'He is drinking mineral water or soda'.
Minerals are natural deposits, they are not foods or
beverages.

6) 'My car is more better than yours' (WRONG).
Instead, say 'My car is better than yours'. MORE and
BETTER are both comparative adjectives. Two
comparative adjectives are not used in same
sentence.

7) 'On the long run' (WRONG).
instead, say 'In the long run'.

8. 'Either Bisi or Ade are coming' (WRONG).
Instead, say 'Either Bisi or Ade is coming'. There are
two subjects in the sentence but only one person will be coming which makes it singular. Remember, 'IS' is a singular verb while 'ARE' is a plural verb.

9) 'Those are the men that caught the thieves'
(WRONG).
Instead, say 'Those are the men who caught the
thieves. 'WHO' and 'THAT' are relative pronouns
in this context. While 'who' is used for humans, 'that'
is used for things and animals.

10) 'They are discussing about the weather' (WRONG).
Instead, say 'They are discussing the weather.

The rest are more of Oral English, Phonics or Speech. That's speaking right.

11) OFTEN, LISTEN - Pronounce them without the letter 'T'. Such as 'ofen' and 'lisen'.
12) PERFECT - Pronounce it as 'pefekt pŭrfikt ' and not 'pafekt' - The pronunciation of ŭ is somewhere between o and a
13) ATE (past tense of eat) - Pronounce it as 'et' not 'hate' (It's ate as in hate)
14) MARKET, POCKET, BUCKET, ROCKET, etc - Pronounce them as 'markit', 'pockit', 'buckit' and 'rockit'.
15) BUS - It's pronounced correctly as 'bas'. (It's bŭs, which is neither bos nor bas, but is somewhere between these two pronunciations.)
16) SUITE (in hotels) - Pronounce it as 'sweet' and not 'suit'.
17) EXAMPLE, EXAMINATION - Pronounce them as 'eexample' and 'eexamination' respectively. (The British pronunciation is "e" not "ee"
18) MILD - Pronounce it as 'mald myld '.
19) NEEDED (past tense of need) - Pronounce it as 'needid'.
20) COME - Pronounce it as 'cam'. (It's kŭm, which is neither kom nor kam , but is somewhere between these two pronunciations.)

For those taking IELTS, TOEFL and other English proficiency tests, you need to pay particular attention to the LISTENING SECTION. You may easily misunderstand the speaker if you don't pay attention to things you think do not matter.

We all have an opportunity to learn everyday. Strive to learn new things everyday.

God bless you.
