Dull ipobians, to you Internal generated revenue is just taxation money, then what do we call export receipts for palm oil exported from Delta State?

Dsalvo:


Indeed why do you think, as seen below, Yoruba leaders are the only one's in Nigeria today demanding that everyone go and control their resources, fortune and future under regional governance?

We now know we are being horribly short-changed and held back by 'one Nigeria' mainly benefitting the barren SE and the human resources-deficient North.

Yorubas know they can have a region similar to at least Turkey in 5-8 years and the UK in 10-15 years if free of the encumbrance of 'one Nigeria'.

This is why Buhari's own APC Governors were willing to fight him to gain that advantage for their region.

Contrast with Igbos who are the worst in Nigeria. Vapid and hopeless busy bodies who are always malevolently in the business of those far better off than they are while their house is on fire.

They made noise for years but when Yorubas moved with purpose they hid their face like Obi always does.

Amotekun, Yoruba uncompromising precedence through their State houses of assembly when security crumbled in the South. Nothing was heard from Igbos.

Ban on open grazing, Yoruba led also through their State houses of assembly after Fulani herdsmen were going on a rampage across the South. Again, nothing from Igbo leaders.

Agitatation for resource control and return to regional governance, solely Yoruba battle. Igbo leaders, expectedly, completely absent and silent.

VAT challenge against FG, Lagos-led. I could go on all day.

Yet the pattern is clear. Only Yorubas are fighting impunity because they know their worth and do not believe they are slaves to anyone.

Unlike Igbos who will naked themselves shouting they are not slave and are "Freeborn" yet their cowardly silence and absence when Nigeria is highly troubled speaks volumes about who they really are. Let us all agitate for regional governance. It is best for Nigeria if separation cannot happen.

See all the gibberish you vomited.
Tell me, what less do expect from capital city of a country? Ogun state is benefiting due to it's nearness to the capital.
Moreover, Ibos contribute to over 50% of the assumed IGR in these states.
FG creates bottle necks in eastern development because of their fears. Like the Calabar and Warri sea ports.
Let FG make one of the eastern states capital of Nigeria and see what they will become in 10 years

What is there to restructure, you should start by restructuring the local government system in your state for it to benefit yourself & others, instead of just chasing shadows.

Charity they say, begins @ home.

You are wrong. Having a big IGR is nothing to celebrate. The only important question is how you spend your money. Ogun has a super IGR, yet it has much more poverty than Anambra or Imo with very little IGR. The same goes for Kaduna. Clearly, your governors are over-taxing the people.

Be honest for once.

Anambra ought to be in the list. But was painfully omitted. Ditto Abia State.

Aint you ashame of yourself. No one will come and take a risk by investing there because you're NOT accommodating. If your own people come from outside your state you will kill them.

nakaman:
if na by investment, which people or tribe have more investments than the people of Anambra.

70% of the transportation companies
paint manufacturers
tile industries
the Shoe industry

oga, Real estate,
all are dominated by Anambarians ,make ur research.

Normally, Anambra don't even depend on federal government.

Actually, there is much more poverty in Ogun than in Anambra so clearly, the huge IGR is not making any difference. Which is more important to you, high IGR or low poverty? Maybe you should stop over-taxing your people. You do not need a huge IGR you only need to use the little you have.

Pls what is the serious business we are talking about here?

This is because governments at all levels do not know how to create jobs.
If they can gear 50 percent of their capital expenditure as investment towards job creation, within a few short months these jobs can be transformed to small businesses, enterprises and industries and in a few years these will return investment by way of taxation on a lasting basis.

But the model we have here is geared towards contracting where 100 percent of government's capital expenditure goes to very few individuals and corporations many of whom are not even domiciled in those states or in the country for that matter thus leading to jobs being created offshore and thus taxation potentials lost.

For example at the Federal level, the government borrows 100 billion dollars to build a rail line or bridge or road, how much of that money remains in Nigeria to create post project value.
In Rivers State for example how much has been expended by the Wike government in building those 'flyovers by Julius Berger plc and how much of that amount is retained in the state to create jobs and businesses that can be harvested for taxation on a longer term basis.

These should be the thoughts of governments when planning and budgeting.
These should be the criteria the Legislature at state and federal levels should use in weighing and approving plans and budgets.
And quite frankly these should be the criteria for citizens to elect their leaders.
For in 'sane societies' when government comes with the threat of taxation, the people also have the weapon of jobs and business creation demands.

But here they know they are not creating jobs or businesses so they cannot directly and boldly demand for taxation and so they resort to borrowing which is indirect taxation.

Are those figures correct at all or the person that typed it already taken weed alongside gegemu?
Lagos state generates 554billion against 254billion he gets
Ogun state collected 1.6billion against 100billion they generated. While,
Kaduna state got 79billion against 89 billion it generated.

My concerns here is that is Ogun state mad or the data collation was error..

Restructuring would have better

Lol. Check this hateful clown out. When the SW elected leaders of all the States in the region demanded what is shown below, far better than and superior to restructuring , where were your leaders?

Yorubas are sick of all you Taqiyaah bullcrap that are mainly excuses you make because you cannot gain ultimate power over others and their resources.

If sure you want autonomy, why were you missing when Yoruba Governors, across Party, line were demanding regional governance and considering your participation may have made the agitation unavoidable for the FG?

No one takes you lot seriously again. You are divisive and duplicitous jokers who never say what they mean and never mean what they say.

3.8 million people from Ogun state are living in poverty and yet you have one of the highest IGR in the country. You have sick leaders. We are talking about 68% of the state living in poverty but you evil politicians are boasting of IGR? What have you been doing with the billions from IGR? Criminals.

Kaduna is even worse. 3 out of every 4 people in the state is poor yet they have one of the highest IGRs. Madness.

I was expecting Lagos, Ogun and River

There are other states with potential to generate IGR that are not on this list

Not surprise to see Kaduna amongst the three states cos we can all attest to when the governor visited Lagos to learn how Lagos makes money from taxing the people. Of cause ogún state is our next door neighbor no surprise they made the list. Oya the rest 34 states should come to the school of Lagos taxation. And Lagos will tax them for coming to learn under Lagos. Las Las more money for Lagos. We care not what those lunatics making noise here says. Tax everything taxable to construct that 4th Mainland bridge. Lagos must continue to work to be seen as the envy of others and the world
