Imo state last on the list? Lol

It is well o!

How many times would people post it? Go and check the previous post on FAAC + IGR you will see the figures in the comments.
Maybe then you can stop playing ostrich.

Oil/Gas Producing States:

“Imagine if states are fully allowed to control their own oil/gas resources and not distributed to other states based on population”.

yoruboid:
Just imagine states were allowed to collect and control their VAT

Apart from Anambra, which is just about N700m higher, Ekiti has more VAT revenue than all the states in the SE

Where many of you have since died and living those mansions desolate,we know many of your children who always say they would rather live and die in Lagos than go to the east because they have lived all there lives in the city and can't imagine living in those savage,dead beat villages.

Ebubu8:
Ebonyi Abakaliki generated more VAT than Enugu, Abia, Imo and 13 other states

Ebonyi Abakaliki is not the poorest state in South East truly.

Omoawoke:


Lagos, a southwest state still tops anything…

Or is Lagos a south east state?

Ebubu8:
Yeah not proud or loud. Ebonyians are quiet, humble and hardly insultive or agitational, also hard-working.

AwkaFinest:



Smallest in what sense? Because by landmass, Ebonyi is bigger than Anambra and Imo.

LastGiantAlive:


Very good . Now tell the amala of yoruba people eyes to divide the country since Ekiti vat alone can power the whole of Europe and south east asia combined. Let us yoruba muslims now go and govern ourselves. This is the right time. We can't continue to beg for unity despite having high IGR without toilet facilities

Seefinish:
is like if don't compare IGR generated by southeast with that of southwest, you don't have peace with your poverty.
Tell me the impact of IGR generated by Ekiti on Ekiti state.

Believeintruth:


The proof is all over. Human capacity index, GDP and Per capita income all have south east doing far better.

HDI has always been changing.In recent time,SW has gotten a lot more migration from both the SE and the North and they have contributed in no small measure to the poulace of almost no positive HDI but as for IGR and the other positivities,SW has always been consistent in being the leader of the whole nation because of their competence and versatility.

This is exactly why we want Biafra 💯 we are struggling for the best for our kids.

So that out children will later know that we have everything we need at home 🏡 🙂 and thank their parents for their sacrifice 🙏

You should wish them well

If those regions were conduceive for those oil companies to stay,they surely will,I bet you were to young or wasn't even born when shell was head quartered in warri,delta and mobil was in eket,akwa ibom before hostilities from the locals drove them out..... dangote refinery was also initially billed to be sited in the niger delta before he ran away with his capital to Lagos.

WorkTheTalk:


You don't know what you are talking about. Operational bases are different from administrative offices. Lagos state, being the administrative headquarters of Nigeria then made it attractive for all the the big companies in Nigeria to locate their head offices there. As we speak all the banks in Nigeria have their head offices in Lagos state. Does it mean that all the states in Nigeria are hostile to host banks head offices except Lagos state?

Lithiumite:


It makes no sense for any major commercial bank to have their hq outside Lagos and it equally makes no sense for oil companies to have their HQ outside the niger delta....the major reason that isn't the case for the latter is majorly due to insecurity and hostility of the communities in that region,dangote refinery being the most recent..... construction companies also bears the brunt as it cost more to work in the niger delta not majorly because of the terrain in some cases but the hostile attitude and demands by the commuinities.

WorkTheTalk:


Then let the government share the VAT proceeds equally to all the contributors (producers, administrators, consumers etc), instead of giving the lion share to Lagos state just because of hosting the administrative offices of these companies.

Lithiumite:


That's what the tinubu reform is trying to bring about but haters want the reforms discarded because it is coming from tinubu,the man they hate so much for defeating them at the polls.......not looking critically at the document to see it would benefit everyone better.....but they don't care,the country can as well burn to the ground.

WorkTheTalk:

Correct. However, "He who goes to equity must go with clean hands". The general fear and unacceptance of the proposed tax reform bill is as a result of lack of trust.

Currently, there is unrest in the oil sector, and fingers are pointing at Tinubu's family (OandO and Co) of subtly positioning to take over oil industry in Nigeria. Right now, important economic positions and appointments are giving to Tinubu's inner circle members. And Knowing Tinubu's antecedent with tax issues (AlphaBeta/Lagos state), the fear is that Tinubu's tax reform is one of the schemes majorly for himself, no matter how lofty it may appear now.

Therefore, there is need for thorough review and consultation before accepting a reform that would end up enriching one individual and his family at the expense of our common wealth.
