Wallahi, true!

Abia is most productive but their economy is largely informal.....high concentration of skilled labourers and very few corporate and industrial plants. Quite naturally informal markets are also informal in tax incomes. Therefore Abia looses chunk of revenue due to tax dodgers and lack of collection points.

They need to replicate in Abia what Lagos has done with its informal markets. Lagos appointed an Iyaloja that have subs at each market to collect revenue. There is NURTW Chairman that have subs and licenced operators that collect road levy.

I dare to say Oluomo is far more organized and structured in his street operations....and effective....than say Income Revenue Offices of states in East.



This is one and the only example you need per why Anambra os so fcukked up, I mean uniquelly fuccked up, there's no bleeped up state like Anambra in Nigeria.

Have you ever seen a bricklayer patch patch crumbling flyover bridge?

Have you ever seen this kind of flyover before in your life?

Have you ever seen any flyover bridge crumble less than a year after it was commissioned?

It is only in anambra you see this kind of gross mediocrity and abomination, no where else in Nigeria.

When your bogus and fraudulent IGR stats favour you like the nominal GDP rubbish from 2017, you applauded it, you post it on NL everyday, month after month, year after year, but now that another IGR stats from the same NBS doesn't favour you, you changed story to discredit stats from the same people that you love to quote everyday. grin grin grin

Btw, the discussion is about your poor and wretched anambra village going inside shalanga with 50% IGR drop, not about okonjo or whatever diversionary ipob tactics you're trying to hide under.

So, going by your ignorant and village square 2 year old baby analogy that some states don't report their true IGR figures, it is safe to conclude that your nominal rubbish from 2017 wasn't real, wasn't legit and should be discounted since other states did not release their true IGR figures? grin grin

See how dumb and rettarded your brain dead excuse was? grin grin

Never take that Anambla bloody fool serious... That's how he does, he condemns nbs poverty Stat that doesn't favor his tiny state but still ends up posting the same nbs Stat of gdp that appears to favor his tiny red mud erosion laden state. What a hypocrite!!! The same old fool who alway rant about his state spends most of his time on Twitter talking about Lagos and tinubu which is of hundreds of kilometers away from his erosion ravaged state, instead to exert his energy on his redmud state and their tiny erosion region of at large.

I try going to budgit to check what metrics they used to conclude the sustainability index and I am vindicated.

The below is what they wrote about what they used:

”In this report, Lagos leads the fiscal sustainability index, followed by Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Kano states. Access to audited statements brought out some facts on the true state of recurrent expenditure in focus states. We discovered states, such as Delta, running huge recurrent expenditure reaching N200bn. Bayelsa, despite its size and population, has a high recurrent bill as high as N137bn, compared with Ebonyi with a recurrent bill of N30bn, Sokoto (N38bn), Jigawa (N43bn), Yobe (N35bn), etc. It is a recurring theme to see states in South-South Nigeria running high recurrent bills, mainly driven by the high revenues earned due to the 13% derivation.”


Can you see what I said earlier about the sustainability index and how you shouldn’t bandy it around as a measure of economy like the Real GDP, IGR, and etc?

Check the second chart for monthly revenue for each state. Can you see Anambra has low revenue, very low revenue which showed the state is all hype. The only thing helping them is that they have low recurrent bills.

I am teaching you all this for free coz I know they won’t teach you in the mushroom schools you attend in upper Iweka.
Dumbos from West, states IGR figures are release by state governors, some governors doesn't disclose true state of their internally generated revenue, that's fact IGR doesn't measure economy, it's just revenue generated by states, some states tax high or low, there's no uniform system in collection of revenue from business operators in all the states, state like Anambra were business are driven by by indigenous, majority of the companies are owned by indigenous, same in services, trade unlike west were majority of the companies are owned by foreigners and non Yoruba, in Lagos major markets are controlled by Igbos, your governors don't look back in taxing them, I served in west, started my business in Lagos before I relocated my business to Anambra in first quarter of 2016, I know what we were going through in hands of Lagos state tax collectors, in Anambra there are union in every business areas, if state serve business permit or signage tax for example #5000 for small business, the union will hold meeting and agree on what they can pay and send some delegates to negotiate with the state government, we might end up paying #1500 or #2000 each such can't happen in Lagos or any southwest states, during recession Anambra cut tax to large businesses and suspend to small businesses, it didn't happen any where in your region, if during that period many states were in bankrupt including all states in west expect Lagos, Anambra, Kano, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and other states, You claimed your states generate huge IGR but they borrow to pay workers, serious I don't see any sense in IGR noise, Anambra with low IGR is lowest in debt doing more projects without borrowing, Anambra is currently building international Cargo Airport awarded the contract to four foreign construction firms Craneburg Germany , China railway construction company , IDC Lebanon , Niger Cat and KANUBEEN Arab, they are working day and night to deliver the project by next year and other massive projects Awka international conference center with 10,000 capacity, Awka millennium city project, new dual carriage from Enugu/Onitsha expressway to the Airport, building 29 bridges and many roads still ranked low in debt, so what's the noise over IGR when your governors borrow to pay workers salaries


Please kindly watch roads and 29 bridges projects under Obiano, we will soon release Airport project soon

He is Ikwere and Ikweres are Igbos. But here in nairaland and in the media generaly biafrans are always told that Ikweres are not part of Igboland. So if Nyesom wike misbehaves and he is now called Igbo in order to cast aspersions on the Igbos, I see it as double-standards.

APOLOGIES FOR MISUNDERSTANDING GOVERNOR WIKE.

I’ve been doing some thinking, reviews of the way our beloved Governor Wike operates. I blamed him for some actions before but now I understand. I never understood him. I was wrong in my criticism all along.

Governor Wike motivates, but not the usual way you read in books. He’s practical, and challenges you to rise to the top or lose it all.

Ever seen the trend ‘hustle o, make ...’? The negatives that can be created by your inability to obey the above are endless.

It’s usually in pidgin. Examples:
‘hustle o, make your plan no dey dependent on gratuity’.
‘Hustle o, make you no go do 50 biometric screenings just for money wey dem no go still pay’.

So much positive.
So much motivation.
But the list isn’t done yet.

Governor Wike motivates you to think big enough to live in the city, because if you can’t, and end up living in the rural areas, you’re automatically a second-class citizen.

Nothing for you.

Governor Wike’s idea of society is on the elitist end. Let’s take a roll call:

1- Buys cars for wealthy judges, but poor retirees are denied their gratuity.

2- Markets where the poor can buy from have remained shut but malls are open.

3 - Assembly quarters for lawmakers is to be pulled down and rebuilt but the secretariat where regular workers go is rotting away.

4- Medical facilities in rural areas are either in near states of abandonment or just painted without drugs while the bigger facilities thrive.

5- There are cries of bad roads in rural areas but our governor is building 4 flyovers on one road, and adding more granite to already good roads in the city.

What else should motivate you than the actions of our dear governor? But I know a lot of you still won’t understand.

You won’t understand.
