State IGR contest today data and presentation from nbs, I have always been of the opinion that Enugu is one of the most developed city in the South East and South South Region,if not the most developed,this again proves that the abundance of natural resource or heavy allocations from the federal government is not enough to kick start the ground,states like Akwa Ibom get 3times more than what Enugu gets get federal Gov,but take a visit to both states and see which looks richer,comparing adult literacy,access to basic amenities,hospitable and general workabilty of the city. Enugu bu Obodo Oyibo!

It's a big shame that most governors are not thinking with their brain. I wonder how many states will survive without monthly allocation from the center. Only Lagos, Rivers and Delta can realistically stand on their own without the money from Abuja.

OP, abundance of natural resources and/or heavy allocations from the center should make many of these states paradise on earth already. Just that most of the administrators have been wicked, lazy and generally unfit to be leaders.

Sai Lagos State

Sai Ambo

Good information. Tnx op.

My state try sha

Do anyone notice the northern States??

i wan comment

Na Abia own pain me pass!

By the time we get the figures for 2015 i expect Anambra to be 4th or 5th on the league table! Anything less would be unacceptable!

Good to know.
The states can do better than this.

What is going on in the North? All that arable land just sitting? All those minerals just sitting in the ground? Questions need to be asked because these past administrations have been paymasters collected money for nothing. I never knew just how big Lagos was doing it. I see why Fashola has a head of gray hair after 8 years. That's a lot to manage.

Lalasticlala ........

This is interesting ...I think the richest states should have more say in the politics of their region.

Imagine Ekiti with less than N4bn and their noisy governor...this Jonathan PDP led opposition sef...

Lagos, Rivers, Delta. All there is to see.

See Kano state with its acclaimed center of Commerce and Population equivalent to that of Lagos and see the IGR almost equal to that of Ebonyi state, one of the smallest state. Northern Nigeria is a parasite and fraud to this country.

And fools from west will ask what Igbos contribute? Lagos is collective efforts by all

Edo 17.0bn? Edo generates more than that.

Ondo oil production covers Imo, Abia and Anambra.according to Oluwale niggas

Ekiti is richer than Ebonyi

Osun economy is bigger than everything that is happening in southeast
Ogun state the Heroshima of Nigeria

Ndi Ofe ekene mu nu! Una to good wif propaganda

And you know this how? As their chief generator I suppose?

spanishkid:

Anambara looks too low oh...Even Abia..

Northerners cheating the whole Nigeria since time immemorial..
Monkey dey work bamboo dey chop..........
With the rate boko haram is booming, they will soon be generating 30k per year

From the statistics it shows the North relies so heavily on the monthly allocation because what they are generating internally is so very abysmal as what the entire north generates is no where near what Lagos alone generates and the entire North is about 220 times the size of Lagos! This is a call for deep conversation!

How did Ebonyi generate more revenue than Anambra?

I see the foot prints of the igbo merchants in Lagos, Kano and Kaduna. Let's even look at Ondo which is heated with south-western nepotism at the moment and fiery hate for the igbos.

I would kindly suggest we have a rethink if we must survive this union called Nigeria. Someone rightly noted the poor spate of the Northern contribution to our purse and yet they yearn for a centralised government even with the endowment of solid minerals. Is the case to deplete the south and enrich the North?

I swear Gowon knew exactly what would become of the contraption, Nigeria if they had let go, his current statement "With Biafra, it is finished!" would not have revealed any better why he exerted extreme efforts to destroy the Biafran struggle.

I think at this point the Nigerian agenda should be pacifying the igbos to remain in Nigeria through whatever means.

^^^It boggles the mind walahi!

Can't wait for the 2015 figures to be released! Abia will definitely get the sharp end of my tongue if they're not in the top 10 at least!

LordMecuzy:
Anambara looks too low oh...Even Abia..

Anambra during Obi was generating 600 million monthly internal IGR now Obiano is generating 1.5 just one year of his adminstration, by the time the malls, international markets, and industries and other investments start functioning we will be targeting 3 to 4b Internal IGR to state

Blame it on the FG that has continued to spooned feed the state and do not allow them to explore their internal revenue! !!!

Of all the states in Nigeria, you didn't see any to compare Enugu with but Akwa-Ibom, nawa for you o! That comparison was totally unnecessary.

^^^Bros, some on here would sooner have their dicks (or tiits) chopped off than agree to your suggestion in bold!

Do any one noticed what's up with the almajiris states

Imagine Ogun state IGR yet the grammar-speaking governor has no tangible thing that will be pinpointed to his credit

this is why fiscal federalism is the answer. let the country federate according to the geopolitical zones where existing states shall be part of the provinces. in that way federal units will look inwards and there shall be healthy competition

FKO81:

Exactly God bless Obiano if only My Governor Rochas can start looking inwards to increase our IGR..

So ENUGU is ahead of ANAMBRA, even Kano. Wow!!!

that's surprising though
May be its because of d administrative skills of Enugu indigenes.
