Ogun and Oyo can't survive!!! Lailai!!!

These states generate next to nothing most especially Ogun.

The question is can these states place it's priority right. In Rivers state for example civil servants haven't seen any promotion throughout the inception of Wike's administration. No employment work force in the state civil service, pensioners are dying of starvation because of non payment of their pension and gratuity.

And the man is bragging up and down.

i believe a lot of states will survive..

u see all these people were all surviving b4 oil money came to Nigeria..

it's just to go back to the grass-root..

we have several non-oil-related cash crops and goods that we are just allowing to rot away.. all because of free oil money.

The same ogun and Oyo state that is borrowing to pay ordinary salary you mean

The federal government under Jonathan also borrowed to pay salaries.

Let the money from the center stop first and let's see if ALL states will not look inward, create infrastructure and generate revenue.


Nah availability of funds to them dey make dem dey lazy.

They would resort to fleecing the citizens and businesses of the states. You will start seeing the state tax officials arresting citizens and closing down businesses indiscriminately to get money from them.

You don't even want to imagine what these states will do to get money if the federal allocation is stopped.

They won't resort to any brainstorming economic plan and development. They will just go the easy way of creating all manners of taxation like radio access tax, television tax, security tax etc. The people we have as leaders in this country are just daft

Some stats r so useless, so how will lagos survive if Mobil stop drilling oil in eket?
Akwaibom that contributes 55plus percent of forex earnings to Nigeria can't survive without fed allocation, can u imagine the insult to my dear state.
We have oil wells being drilled, and sold, monies shared to the entire useless states of the federation and also have power plant that was build solely by akwaibom state govt, but one fool is saying we can't survive without fed allocation.
When i advocate for restructuring and total control of resources by states where the resources r embedded, they shit in their pants.
What does lagos produce for God sake?
Without housing most of the oil coys headqrts and telecoms and banks headqrts, what do they produce?
Small state that isnt the size of akamkpa local govt area in cross river state...

There is a tree that has many branches with lots of fruits on it in the Eastern part of the country.

The tree is called stupidilae foolishilie.

Sleyk:
Federal government looking for excuses to continue milking state of their resources..... Stop distribution of money from center and let each state manage their resources.

a location have even stop from the center yet many state seeking for bailout from the FG to pay salary, what would u now expect from the state if the allocation should be stop?

Igbos control Lagos economy. Your guess is as good as mine.

Igbos should leave Lagos first and see. Lagos economy has been at the peak even before Igbo ppl started coming into it, as in before Unna start going to school. If it is truly Igbos that control Lagos economy why don't we have Igbo states in the list except Anambra? Does it mean the Economy of South East is difficult to control for Igbos?

They cannot....
The major contributor to VAT that FIRS Lagos and rivers state..Inshort Lagos contributes 55% alone.....every other states are just parasites that eat from it...once state begin collecting their own.only Lagos and rivers will have bigger share which over 60% of total VAT In the country...the rest of the other States won't be able to collect sufficient amount cuz their economy isn't as vibrant as rivers and Lagos.

NetValueFX:
Every state can survive without allocation from Fg

But they don't borrow to pay salaries

Ayomi90:

The same Nigeria that is borrowing nkor?

They are not daft...that will be the only choice for them to survive...once FG allocation stops..many states will begin to copy the western style of taxation.. Meaning that many businesses will fold up and probably relocate to Lagos and rivers state as they will most likely be the only states to take things because they have sufficient money and don't need to put businesses under pressure...

3 sw states. Lagos can spill over for osun, Ondo and ekiti. Easily the richest region in Nigeria.

Yet you are inherently cowered to foot the bill of Republic of Oduduwa. These craps about VAT are product of deceits. The taste of pudding is in the eating. Nigeria must be disintegrated so that the emerging nation states can ascertain which nation survives without allocation.

Keep deceiving yourself. Once states are officially allowed to collect VAT only then will you know the exact VAT being collected from each state.

otokx:
So Delta and Edo could not make it?

They are among the bread winners and feeders of this nation. Na them dey feed other states. Especially Delta and Rivers

ALL STATES CAN CONFIDENTLY SURVIVES WITHOUT FEDERAL ALLOCATION if they cut their coat according to their material.

I will not say cutting their coat according to their size as their size or taste could be bigger than their earning.

SO STATES IN NIGERIA SHOULD BE CUTTING THEIR COAT ACCORDING TO THEIR MATERIAL.

If you can not pay commissioner like Edo state, you can work with permanent secretary until you save enough to engage a commissioner or do not engage a commissioner.

Unfortanately what is being played out is a governor of poor Zamfara state, Yobe state, Jigawa state wanting to live like the governor of Rivers state or Lagos state with fleets of jeeps plus a host of personal assistant and domestic aides.

What for?

these allocations are small compared to their annual budgets

Akwa ibom, bayelsa and delta states is supposed to be on that list their natural resources is used as federal allocation and shared to some of those states listed above.

Ondo state doesn't need any spills from Lagos.it has crude oil,2nd largest bitumen deposit in d world,large scale cocoa plantation,timber,natural spots for tourism and Atlantic Ocean.
If that state is well managed to its full potential it would generate millions of dollars annually.
Majority of states in Nigeria can survive on their own if not for d useless unitary system of government Nigeria is practicing.

U are the one being deceived...
What the government (FIRS) Has been collecting from state is what state will. Still collect...
Lagos rivers and abuja generate more than 65% of the total VAT in the country ....d rest of the 34 state...will struggle to survive with just 35%....
Think am joking... Check this out..

You are correct, most of those people ignorantly shouting give us VAT, their States will collapse, what do they care, their only mission is to wail more President Buhari hymns.

It not enough to have oil...the quantity produced and the number of oil companies is most important...ondo's crude oil reserve is almost insignificant compared to states like delta ,rivers and akwa ibom...
2nd largest bitumen deposits but how many companies are actually mining it...are dey even exporting it..does it contributes to it GDP as a state..sometime ago Nigeria used to import bitumen for road construction...how much vat can u generate from cocoa..remember... Ondo states needs to generate vat of about 500 million dollars per annum about 207 bn naira to fund it yearly budget...
I honestly don't think ondo has what it takes to do that today...in short rivers state with all it resources generates an average of 90bn...which isnt enough to fund ondo recurrent expenditure....

The fact is every states have viable resources but it takes decades to fully develop those resources and attract huge investment before thinking of recouping VAT from it..this is something rivers and Lagos state have done years ago ...today it harvesting it fruits...so don't be deluded about untapped and underdeveloped resources..

A failure will always find an excuse, the people of Ondo State are no different from other Nigerians, nobody in Abuja stopped you people from prospering, for lack of vision my people remain behind, Silicon Valley & Wall Street are man made.

Yes, they borrow to loot.

I'm just seeing ur response.is like I don't know how d constitution make states handicapped?u need to lobby and beg Abuja before u can touch any of natural resource in ur state.
Abuja should handover d resources to d owners and see if they would be complaining.d regions does that when they control their resources and we are still seeing d legacy in western region till date.
Ordinary VAT Fg want to die and u are saying nobody is holding us back?
