SS is still the hen that lays the golden egg in Nigeria, y'all pride yourselves too much.

saintandsinnerz:
At least he bravely made an attempt to break away his people against the whole Nigerian Army and he was able to stand up against them for 3 years. Can any Yoruba man do that? They killed Abiola, killed his wife, cancel his presidency and yet you do nothing. What can we call that? What about Illorin? Can Yorubas truncate the presidency of a Northerner and also kill him and his wife without repercussion? Like I said, cowardice is your forte and slavery and Northern ass licking is what you people enjoy most. Can't you see that's what you're doing here? The northerners that even have the problem with the Igbos are not even talking becasue they know they have their coward slaves to fight for them.

Dem dey generate IGR or pay VAT for inside for inside baba Ijebu shop Abi for omonile job? U must b deranged to think Lagos is about Afonja alone. Why Ekiti and Osun no get very high VAT and even Ogun when Lagos Don overflow enter.

Nobody dey claim say na Igbo get Lagos, na clearly Afonja land but by d effort of mainly Yoruba, Igbo and other tribes combined. Believe it or go n die.

In your dreams.
Take it or leave it, Yorubas control the critical economy of lagos. Using Agberos as a representation of us won't develop IsiAlangwa or do you any good.

That's where you get it wrong. How much is generated in Lagos as a result of the ports in Lagos and who do the bulk of importation there? Retailing serves the local populace and retailers are small players in thebscheme of things. Lagos is the trading hub for West Africa and when I tell you Igbo commerce contributes a lot to Lagos I don't include those retailers in my calculation. Igbos are the major importers of goods in Lagos and most if the imported goods leave Lagos via wholesale distribution channels.

It's people like you that were asking how those unknown Igbos people were able to afford $1M as ransom to Evans. I just laughed on seeing those comments. There are 100s of thousands of Igbos traders who can conveniently part with that in Lagos and I know plenty personally.

Let's look at the pharmaceutical industry/market in Lagos; the Igbos run this multi billion dollar industry almost as a monopoly. Some if them are;

Greenlife
Orange Drugs
Elbe
M & B
Neimeth
Embassy
Vixa
Richy Gold
Neros
Clarion Medicals
Geneith global
Beta Drugs
Jopan
Maydon (one of Evans victims)
Jubilee
Award Global
Agary
E-Chuks
Etc. These are all big time players in the industry so please when I talk of commerce, I make no reference to retailers.

[quote author=totit post=49273651]This is the list of major Nigerian imports and their worth -- before some people come and claim that their substandard imported merchanise constitute the bulk of the revenues generated via SW ports.

Refined petroleum- 15% ($7.83-billion)
Cars- 3.4% ($1.75-billion)
Wheat - 2.8% ($1.46-billion)
Packaged medicaments - 1.4% ($752-million)
Rice - 1.4% ($706-million)
Concentrated Milk - 1.3% ($679-million)
Raw Sugar - 1.3% ($668-million)
Malt extract- 0.84% ($441-million)

After billions received in bailout funds, paris debt refund, etc, our beloved ogun state that increased IGR by 500% according to one allrightsir is still begging for islamic loan.. What a wawu. Only in Nigera

Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu Applied For Islamic Bank Loan, Got Senate Approval[b]
The Senate yesterday approved part of the 2016-2018 External Borrowing Plan pertaining to the Lagos, Kano railway modernisation project (Lagos-Ibadan segment double track).

The upper chamber also endorsed the World Bank-supported reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Northeast at $1.806 billion.

This followed the consideration of the report of the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts on the proposed Federal Government 2016-2018 External Borrowing (Rolling) Plan presented by the Chairman of the Committee, Senator Shehu Sani.

Sani, in his report, noted that the committee resolved to consider the project due to its importance and urgency to fast track the development of critical infrastructure.


The committee received briefs from Ministers of Transportation and Finance, Director General of the Debt Management Office (DMO), Chairman, Fiscal Responsibility Commission and Managing Director, Nigeria Railway Corporation.

The projects to be financed by the China Exim Bank include Lagos-Kano Railway Modernisation (Lagos-Ibadan segment); Lagos-Kano Railway modernisation project (Kano-Kaduna segment) and Coastal Railway (Lagos-Calabar segment).

On the World Bank-supported projects, Sani listed polio eradication and routine immunisation, Community and Social Development project and Nigeria States Health programme investment.

Apart from approving the loan request, the committee’s recommendations adopted by the Senate included that the:

immediate negotiation for the Eastern corridor (Port Harcourt-Maiduguri) and same submitted for approval by the National Assembly; and that the
committee “do recommend for approval by the Senate the remaining segments of the Rail modernisation project as soon as these are approved by the Board of China-Exim Bank, namely (Lagos-Calabar segment) and the Port Harcourt Maiduguri line (the Eastern corridor rail project)”.
The committee also recommended that the Senate “do emphasize effective oversight by relevant committees on the implementation of all the projects for which the loans is being approved.”

It said that the projects, when fully implemented were sure to stimulate economic development and create both direct and indirect jobs for Nigerians, particularly youth.


On the World Bank supported loan, the committee said that the projects, which are mainly proposed for the Northeast region, will facilitate the much needed rehabilitation of the people and allow schools to be reopened.

The Senate also approved a $750 million Islamic Bank loan request by some states. These are: Enugu, Ebonyi, Kano, and Ondo states.

Ebonyi’s $80 million loan request was earlier rejected but following strident pleadings by Senator Obinna Ogba (Ebonyi Central) the upper chamber made a U-turn to approve the request.

The Senate also approved the $750 million medium term external loan requests for six states, out of the Federal Government’s request of $1.49billion for 10 states.

The states whose loan requests were approved are Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Kano, Ondo and Plateau.

The committee said there was a need for phased approval of the loan requests for the other states which are: Ogun, Jigawa, Kaduna and Katsina.

A breakdown of the approved loans are $70 million from African Development Bank (ADB) for Ebonyi Ring Road Project (to be co-financed by Islamic Development Bank), $200 million ADB facility for Rural Access and Mobility Project (RAMP) in Abia State, and $200 million IDB loan for Kano State Integrated Agricultural and Water Resources Development.

It also approved a $100 million request for Enugu and Kano from the French Development Agency for the third National Urban Water Sector Reform (NUWSRP-III).

“That the remaining four states in the borrowing plan be deferred,” the report read.

The railway project, which includes the Lagos-Ibadan segment double track is to be funded by China Export-Import Bank for $1.231 billion, while the Northeast rehabilitation is to be funded by the World Bank for $575 million.

The terms of the China EXIM bank loan include a maturity enure of 20 years with a moratorium of seven years at interest rate of 2.5 per cent. It also includes a management fee of 0.5 per cent, a commitment fee of 0.2 per cent, and a duration of three years.

The committee in its report observed that the railway project would link the North to the South by rail and promote trade, create jobs and also reduce pressure in roads infrastructure.

allrightsir:
you posted half year figures jan to june

allrightsir:
read the edit: corroborated by national bureau of statistics

ahh ok Rivers did not publish their figures, makes sense now

Actually he may be right. Rivers was N85B last year, Ogun was N72B, considering that Ogun was N34B the previous year (2015) and the governor said his goal is N115B this year and the fact that the interview was last month, the rate at which ogun is growing it's IGR, it may well be they have since surpassed rivers. But yes as at last year Rivers was ahead of Ogun.

The National Bureau of Statistics released today the Internally Generated Revenue at State level for January to June 2016.

 In this report, Lagos State recorded the highest Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) figure of N150.59bn in Half Year 2016, closely followed by Ogun State with N28.15bn while Nasarrawa State generated the lowest revenue for the period under reference at N1.05bn.

 For this period, seven (7) states are yet to report their H1 2016 Internally Generated Revenue figures. The states are Abia, Anambra, Bauchi, Ebonyi, Oyo, Rivers and Sokoto.

A total of N317.79bn was generated by twenty-nine (29) states that have reported their H1 2016 Internally Generated Revenue figure and the revenue was generated across the following types – PAYE, Direct Assessment, Road Taxes, Revenue from Ministries, Departments & Agencies and other taxes.

Afomjas are not happy
Anambra is fourth largest economy in Nigeria after Lagos, River and Abuja

1 Hausa. 2 Yorubas.

It sounds fair to me.

No Igbo. To God be the glory.

I would have questioned a legitimate business person whose wealth was stolen by Nigeria and handed only £20 to be on Forbes' list of billionaires. Granted the Igbo people have done well for themselves after the major set back. The wealth gap closed quickly that on family-family level, they fair better than other tribes.

If Nigeria seizes "ALL the assets and bank accounts" of Otedola, Alakija, Dangote, Otedola, etc and hand them N8300 (equivalent of £20), none of them will last more than a month. Don't underestimate the hatred Igbo folks bore after the war too. Every successful Igbo person today has all the right to beat his/her chest.
