They won’t talk about their alambla where the hero invested state money in beer factory and his bank with no returns

The government designed it this way..
Can south east go their separate ways so you can enjoy your vats and revenues?
No and they know the truth...

You are quite apt with your inference,however, we still have one of the lowest tax to GDP ratios on the continent.....a state is free to choose what it taxes as that as always been the case,if a state is comfortable with it's paltry allocation from faac,no problem.

It's a states ability to develop and retain human capital that would determine it's economic development and sustainability...... states in the north are earning nothing from direct taxes while a state like Lagos is benefiting enormously from it's location and commercial hub of the country.

Our tax to GDP figure is not correct i can boldly say. There's a bigger taxation that occurs in the informal sector and of course there's a huge amount of indirect tax in the system that's not captured.

Agric based states should be allowed to tax agric products if we want just taxes. If not, agric derivatives should be taxed and shared with agric inputting states. That's what I think so be fair and just

Honestly,am ashamed of Ogun state.The state should be in Number one to five.

Which kain statistics be this? Lagos alone get over ₦200bn and the total of all the states displayed ₦44bn.

Ebonyi is the smallest and the youngest state in the east. However, it had proven to be above all when you check things "relatively". I want to assume it because they generally are not proud as many other eastern state

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

You completely miss the point. A huge percentage of the vat paid in Lagos and Rivers state is still paid by the people You hate,the Igbos.A single importer pays more than 4m as vat on a 40 ft container

Did you read what I wrote before your hateful bigotry push you to reply? I was talking about other states beside Lagos and Rivers States, and asking why are there VAT greater than the Eastern States which have large commercial centres?

This analysis is wrong. The total VAT collected is less less than Lagos and Rivers State. Check your figures correctly before posting

Believeintruth:


Just as Anambra and Imo have GDP higher than Ogun, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti.

A GDP that is not generating higher revenues for their states and people's use is nothing to be proud of.

Why would Benue State be generating more VAT than Ogun State even though Ogun is the second highest industrial state after Lagos in Nigeria? De tin still de shock me.

chigo32:
Make a research, igbo tribe are the people paying VAT in dose states remiting big VAT. Without igbo men in those states, nothing will be working in the said states. Take it or leave it, igbo man developed 50 percent of all the states in Nigeria.

Yet can't remit in Igboland... Mmmmmn

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

I'm happy for the south west and I just pray that they will use it to build good toilets in their region.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why can't our brothers pay this VAT in the SE?

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

Your TPain tax collector governors are draining you people dry and you are here rejoicing about it.

And by the way, Igbos are possibly responsible for more Lagos VAT than yorubas who are constantly deported from Lagos to their states for non productivity

Just imagine if States were allow to control their resources too.

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.

Shut up. Mobil has never been headquartered in Akwa Ibom. Yes Shell West was headquartered in Warri, Delta State, before leaving. They didn't leave to Lagos, rather they closed their Warri office and moved their workers to Shell East which is headquartered in Port Harcourt.

Even Ebonyi is higher than almighty Ogun.
Very shameful.

membranus:

The same with IGR

Dogalmighty17:
How can Ogun State generate only 1.7billion as VAT? With all the industries there?

Most of the industries in Ogun State are crooks. Chinese, Lebanese, and Indians - they cook books and under-declare their revenue and profit.

Omoawoke:


Prove it!

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

But you abandoned your deliverable to come to nairaland and constituted yourself a nuisance in spreading bigotry.

South south states tried oh. See small Akwa-Ibom State on the same level with a whole Kano and even doing better than Niger State that is like times five its size

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