States do no collect Oil taxes, There is no such thing . That is an ignorant statement.

OK, if state is not collecting taxes from oil companies, all the oil companies headquarters in Lagos should be moved to oil producing states.

It doesn't actually, but you know it depends on so many factors!

First of all that city is not in Nigeria. It is in western Nigeria.

First of all, that city is not Lagos. It is call Victoria island.


There is a difference between Lagos island and Lagos state.

When they say Oba of Lagos. They are not talking about Lagos state, they are talking about Lagos island.

Lagos state is divided into cities

Victoria island is a city.

Lagos island is a city
Ikorodu is a city.
Ikeja is a city

I swear, I must admit u made sense with this ur post, without talking about the kingdom of western Nigeria. u re now beginning to change sir.

That guy is always burning in anger and frustration. Unfortunately it is inly Lagos (non yoruba making) and part of Ogun that is economically viable places in the SW, while the rest yoruba land is more or less rural.

The guy just dey deceive himself, Nigeria wey all us know very well, the cities that is doing well in nigeria are Lagos, Ogun otta axis, Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, PH, Kano.

Rayhut:

OK, if state is not collecting taxes from oil companies, all the oil companies headquarters in Lagos should be moved to oil producing states.

That is a widely held myth bandied about by ignorant folk. How can you tax what does not happen on your soil. Try and educate yourself a bit. At any rate. Oil companies are taxed under a different regime by the FG . They cannot be taxed twice.
The main accrual from Headquartered companies is Personal income tax of those workers domiciled in the Headquarter location.

Anyhow no one compels anyone to stay in Lagos they are free to stay.

What you should note is in 1999 when Tinubu came into power IGR in Lagos state was 500 million Naira. Today it is 20 billion. Have any new OIL Companies moved their headquarters to Lagos since that time. ?? That figure ,500 million should give you an idea of what if any the so called headquarters contribute .Avoid sentiments and use your brain a little

wiseoneking:
ibadan is not actually a ECONOMIC VIABLE CITY but civil servants oriented like Enugu coal. That it is large does not make it a viable one. The first 4 cities that sanusi of cbn started the cashless policy are the first tier viable city. They are Lagos, Abuja, Onitsha and Portharcourt. Others are Aba kano kaduna and ibadan. But the first 4 are the most viable economical. Nnewi is invariably included.

what a comic relief.
Ibadan isn't economic viable?

I have no dogs in this fight (I am neither an annoying amala-eater or a disgusting akpu-eating chest beater) so lets be honest:

The amala-eaters (especially Lagos, Ogun and Oyo) have cornered viable non-oil investments in this country. Amala-eaters, because they have always had visionary political leaders, had already set up their region up for the benefits they are reaping today. Awolowo started it all by laying an education foundation for the region with his visionary free education policy. I am not surprised that the Ogun hub is now the center of Nigeria's industrial manufacturing. The amala-eaters, hate them or love them, are the most visionary of all Nigerian tribes and whenever they play their annoying politics within Nigeria, they do EVERYTHING to make sure that the future of their region is secured. While the amala-eaters were investing in education, the akpu-chestbeaters were beating their hairy ape chests and Northern almajiris were eating gworo like imbeciles. Once again, true to form, the akpu-eating flattheads are beating their chests on this thread claiming that their kiosks in Nnewi and Aba are more viable than the industrial hubs of amala (SW) region. Port Harcourt alone is a senior brother of Nnewi and Aba so please stop talking nonsense.

Please MODS close this thread. I am tired of these amala-eaters flaunting their annoying success when the rest of Nigeria is struggling. Also nothing pisses me more than these akpu-flattheads beating their chests like apes - empty boasts nothing to show for it. Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeew.

Lol! Ibadan behind onitsha, aba and nnewi? These people no go kee persin with laff ooo. Na winch?

putting Ibadan and aba in the same sentence is a sin before God & man.

but since they are beclouded by ethnicity, let's forgive them.

The subject matter is ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF STATES let us not forget

And what did CBN say about Cash volumes?
And finally, after drop in federal revenue, which region was the worst hit ?
Abia with bad governance didn't even feel it like osun and co

In terms of economy, its far behind them

OkutaNla:
Ikeja, Ph, Kano, Ibadan, Otta, Onitsha. In that order. The only economically viable city in the SE is Onitsha. In fact only trading is viable in the entire SE and Onitsha takes the crown there for them them.

You are right bro, when it comes to trading, iboes are veteran in that aspect.
that's why I included aba & Onitsha, more like they are the biggest trading centres in Nigeria.
but in terms of revenue generation and industries, they are behind.
but they will deny the fact. why do you think they are not among the top five richest men in Nigeria?

I thought you are brilliant than this now?
the bolded cities were chosen to represent each regions (as in NSEW), for equity so that no regions will be left out.

Construction works have begun on the Anambra State Government and African Capital Alliance-sponsored Onitsha Mall and will be completed by the second quarter of 2015. According to the promoters, the project is motivated by the need to drive retail business in the eastern part of the country and the recent trends in retail market growth in Onitsha in particular. They added that there was a growing demand for modern retail outlets in an underserved market with a budding population of over 1.5 million people as well as the presence of oil and gas firms owing to the recent discovery of oil in the area. The investors said despite its growth, the city and its environs had no world-class retail centre. The representative of ACA, Mr. Obi Nwogugu, stated at the Onitsha Mall Retailers Forum held in Lagos recently the mall would attract private capital into Anambra State. Nwogugu said the mall would be anchored by popular South African retail outlet, Shoprite, with 52 inline shops, and would offer a serene shopping experience to retailers and customers. According to him, the Onitsha Mall will feature 12,100 square metres of net lettable space, 24 hours electricity and security, parking bays that can accommodate 500 vehicles, six local and international restaurants, central air conditioning, Automatic Teller Machine gallery and space for banks. “Anambra State was ranked second in telecommunications disposable income and highest in commercial and microfinance banks branches Nigeria, and attracted investment worth $120m from South African Breweries, which is currently planning to double its investment due to the success of the business,” Nwogugu explained. According to him, the Onitsha Mall is a development project sponsored by African Capital Alliance and the Anambra State Government, with Diamond Bank Plc as the debt financier. “In terms of safety of lives and property, the state has recently made significant investment in security equipment and personnel in the city, which has created an enabling environment for business to thrive,” he said. The Project Manager, Pro-M Limited, Mr. Chuka Okoye, said the construction work was being handled by Akiota Works Limited, which took over from the former contractor, Technics Construction Company. http://m.punchng.com/business/homes-property/anambra-aca-begin-construction-of-onitsha-mall/#sthash.MP0KlgTw.dpuf

Viability means that it generates revenue for government to perform its functions. On that score ,Onitsha is not reckoned with.

Enugu is more viable . The facts are there.

Let us not resort to thiss mentality that if Nigeria is playing Zambia we must win. That is self deception. Let us face the facts.

After 16 years of democracy what is the IGR of the WHOLE ANAMBRA STATE

It is 1 billion Naira a month!! VIABLE INDEED

The TRUTH is bitter,the STATISTICS is there to show that ANAMBRA state is the most economically VIABLE state in Nigeria,the least debt profile in the whole of Nigeria,Civil Servants salary paid up to date with numerous projects going on concurrently,so unless you're not prone to empty chest beating ,why don't you show us a more thriving state?

They were chosen because of the volume of cashflows in those cities.

I've culled the meaning of economic viability and wish to appeal to youths on nl to approach serious topics intellectually.This is a thoughtful topic and should be critically examined:
viability means that market operation is sustainable regarding current and projected revenues. The revenues will be greater than or equal to all current and planned expenditures. In simple terms, any project or activity that can financially support itself is economically viable. Using farming as an example, economic viability refers to the ability and capacity of a farm to 'make a living' annually.

Part of the concept of economic viability is the implicit recognition that the enjoyment of ? and effort put into ? a project determines how a project or business grows and how often workers are replaced.

For economic viability to work, it must often span generations. Workers must stay on top of best practices and share that information appropriately. In the farming example, this would include sharing with other farmers in the region as well as the community.

I will like to look at viability based on the balance if production, consumption, market size, incomes, expenditures, current investments, institutional supports(e.g. training availability) and infrastructural developments.
Let me not flog my position with data already mentioned like market size where I will mention cities and metropolitan areas as Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, Porthacourt, Kaduna and Abuja.The size of purchasing power is however different as Kano may come last due to poverty gap followed by Kaduna and Ibadan while Lagos, Abuja and Porthacourt are at the top.
Viability in terms of production in terms of industrial output, SMEs, and services sector will see the expansion to include other cities like Sango Otta-Ifo in Ogun state, onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, warri, Akure, Enugu,and Benin Zaria, Jos , Ilorin and calabar.
How much do these cities generate in terms of economic production? In industrial outputs you can obviously put sango otta ahead,while economic outputs of most cities outside Lagos, Ogun, kano, porthacourt and ibadan are largely based on services sectors and trading. The question is for example, compare the industrial outputs of Ibadan, kano, ibadan and onitsha.Also compare their their services sector, trading, the purchasing power of their populations, institutional trainings and workforce sustainability.
if any state were to be a country today what will be the size, volatility, and sustainability of that country?
Today, Lagos, Ogun, Rivers can be given considerations. When oil is not in the equation and when real sector economic activities are involved, I think cities like ibadan, and kano can be very viable because they produce, have institutions, and markets(consumers) but when you bring in trade volumes not considering capital volatility onitsha can come in.

Anambra state
Third in deposit mobilisation by CBN
most Indigenous industriel state
host the biggest markets Onitsha markets and Nnewi
Anambra State was ranked second in telecommunications disposable income and
Second commercial and microfinance banks branches in Nigeria,
least indebted state

Here's the list here, according to none oil IGR

1. Lagos (technically not a city)

2. Onitsha

3. Aba

4. Nnewi

calabar no dey?headquarters of witches and wizards in Nigeria

The fact is there that as of today,there are few states in Nigeria who have been ABLE to pay their workers salaries and also carry on other aspects of governance without resorting to all sorts of borrowing to FINANCE these PROJECTS,neither owing their workers nor saddled with HUGE DEBT PROFILES,ANAMBRA state is firmly among these ELITES,now if that is not a mark of VIABILITY,I CHALLENGE you to come up with your own NOMINEE on which is a viable state..
