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!

Hmmmmmmm, Delta state alone is almost equal to the entire SE. THE MOST IMPORTANT STATES IN NIGERIA ARE LAGOS, RIVERS, DELTA AND OTHERS.

Biosahal:

I had a training in lagos 2013. As a young banker. I was told the whole business in lagos rely on kano. Virtually 70percent. I believe kano should fit to survive.
Please if found not to be true cristicise me sensibly.

Go and do your Commerce very well...
You have been scammed

Is Kwara not in the North ? Which state in your region performed better than Kwara?

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I'm not one of these people who says terrible things about my Arewa brothers and sisters. I just think our country can be even greater if we would better develop the North.

Enugu did better than Kwara but that was never my point. This isn't a competition. WE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM! I'm praying for the day every state generates money like Lagos. The South is being underdeveloped just like the North which alludes to your point of Kwara doing better fiscally than most states.

When I saw the amount of mineral wealth in the North and how it dwarfed the south by comparison I got infuriated at the lack of mineral exploration we do. My people are in the North suffering for no reason. Our country should be paradise but our elected officials are lazy and corrupt. I'm glad to see Kwara doing well. Imagine how much better the state will be doing by the time we begin fully utilizing our blessed land.

ugnmezi:




they are in abuja sharing oil money.

Exactly. Agric and minerals can completely transform our country's economy. People forget it was the agric money that allowed us to explore for petro. If we get back to our bread and butter we can't be stopped.

xakakes:
One thing you need to know here is that Most multinationals that have their head offices in Lagos pays their royalty directly to the lagos state Govt. And other revenues that goes to the Lagos state Govt due to its highly commercialised status

Ohhhhhh! Thank you for clearing that up! That makes too much sense. I wouldn't have put two and two together like that but that explains it. I know traders and other small businesses were pumping out there but that number was too big to ignore. The multinational taxation more than covers the leap in revenue in comparison to other states. I saw that giant dot on the map and jumped back like daaayyyyum! Good looking out fam.

I HOPE THE BIAFRANS CAN CALCULATE THEIR ENTIRE REVENUE? IS THIS ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN A COUNTRY THAT HER SOIL IS NOT FERTILE FOR FOOD AND VEGETABLES?

Stup!d Nigeria politicians and military refuse to let igbos go. Why forcing them to remain in Nigeria? THIS PEOPLE HAVE NO ECONOMIC OR POLITICAL RELEVANCE FOR NIGERIA EXCEPT THEMSELVES, SO WHAT R THEY DOING?.

NO INFRASTRUCTURE, NO REVENUE, NO APC SENATOR.....

LoveMachine:
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 ot to manage.

They fold their hand wait for oil money, that was why buhari wanted to oil minister not defence minister.

Am too shock with result, I long I know the northerners are our problems in this country, generating highest of beggers in the world

aieromon:
How did Ebonyi generate more revenue than Anambra?

Rice and salt production

ushafe:

These governors have to step it up for us as a country.

Nah I can't rock with you on that one. I think Oga in the Villa is just making sure our most valuable resource isn't getting messed off like before. He even has experience in the field. I can put my trust in his integrity. I had my suspicions but seeing some of the turnaround has quelled most if not all of my doubts. Kachikwu is another reason why I trust the sector's new regime. Their no nonsense and transparent approach will make sure our petro development is optimal.

menabadoo:
conico, what the yoruba name for lagos?

Thieves

sorry to say you an illiterate,, what's the hausa name for Abuja, what's the local name for porthacourt and delta,,, what's the English name for Anambra and enugu

DropShot:
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.

sometimes people just write for writing sake. Tell me where the centre get its own revenue. Imaging if every state manages what comes from their state. State like Akwa Ibom would become Dubai.

You said only Lagos, Rivers and Delta can survive without Federal allocation, funny you. How many persons are being fed by Lagos? Do you think Lagos can survive without federal allocation? If you say yes... Check how many states federal government gave bailout loan few weeks ago... Tell me what you think.

Delta state with all that money is grossly under-developed. Nothing to show for all that money. No good roads, no drainage, no factories providing jobs, over crowded schools, very very dirty state.

IGBOSON1:
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!

bros this thing here na fake.
There is no way Ebonyi would be making more IGR than Anambra, even Enugu can't be more than Anambra...

Come back when you can differentiate IGR from monthly allocations.

Northern states are really sucking our oil money with their weak brain to generate more fund.

If Nigeria breakup today almost all northern states will be buried instantly.

Shut up your dirty mouth. Yes it is supposed to be flung into the dustbin because it deserves it. Now kill yourself

murphyibiam15:

why is it that u anambrarians are usually bitter when other south east states make good headline...chill for once...i stay in Enugu and i can attest to u that Enugu metropolis is highly industrialized.
must u Anambrarians always win all the time.
PRIDE GOES B4 A FALL.
it should be thrown to dustbin bc Enugu and not Anambra is first in south east and not even second or third in south east.
una Anambra guys too like noice....spits on ur comment

Don't mind my brothers. The report does not reflect reality so it's only fit for dustbin. Quote me anywhere.

with all these noise, some of you that have never crossed Niger bridge need lecture about South West, the former Nigeria capital only comprised the present Islands(except Leki, Epe, etc), parts of Yaba and Surulere, the rest are in former Western Region, Musin, Ikeja, etc. were built as industrial areas for western region. why detaching Lagos from South West? no matter what you built in Lagos, it amounts to nothing! in 1993, the whole Igbos in Lag ran away without chasing them, it amazed me why people like you don't bother to read history. it's even more surprising to see Ebonyi having more IGR than Anambra, I know these two states very well and I believe the op is smoking something!

why do you foolish yorubas keep making so much noise with lagos which by the way is niberias common wealth? Filthy, lazy yorubas did not make lagos what it is today, generality of Nigerians did with igbos contributing more than yorubas.

You ijiots should make your noise with oyo state or osun state, abi dem no be yoloba states again?

Daft cvnt! stick to topic you fool

IlekeHD:


Lagos is a commercial hub in Yorubaland, in the SW, controlled by Yoruba people, developed by Yoruba leaders.

Is this the problem?

yoruba leaders? lwkmd look at this b1tch

ilekeh you should be making noise about ekiti state where you come from, are you ashamed of mentioning ekiti? lagos is nigerias cmmonwealth-a no mans land, if you want to pride yourself of where yoruba laeders developed, look no further than oyo, ekitis or osunistan-perfect examples of yoruba leadership qualities

Well if you've been to the north, you'll know there is arable land, and other natural resources.
But the painful part about it is, their people don't want to work or learn how to do anything(aside cattle rearing, they're experts at that).

Bytch, I thought you died while sexing with 3 men. I just offered my condolences on that thread.

They are bunch of greedy and covetous people.

Be rest assured, if the real owners of PH do not nip the Igweocha nonsense in the bud now, they will regret it in 7years time. By then, Igbos would have lied and boasted to their children that they are the owners of PH and those ones too will be regurgitating innocently until they are jolted back to reality.

look at this lazy and treacherous drone

What was phcourt known as before it was christened? who are the real owners of PH according to you? what is the percentage of each ethnic group in rivers state?

ABEngine:
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.

stop trying to twist history. Aguiyi Ironsi was the one who introduced a Unitary System of Government, the Northerners were too afraid to try that until that guy showed it could be done. So blame it all on him.

NOBLEDANDY:
Do anyone notice the northern States??

I think the problem with the northern states is purely environmental, but Kano and Kaduna tried sha.

IlekeHD:

I thought one of your sp.erm donors butchered you to death for trying to force paternity of your bastad child on him?. Accept my sympathy

Back to topic, when are you gonna start making noise with ekiti state? aren't you proud of your state of origin?

Lagos, the richest in the country generates just about 1.4 billion dollars a year. Seriously, nigeria is under-performing. We need serious industrial revolution.

menabadoo:
Most of these yorubas claiming lagos are from ekiti state, the poorest state in southern Nigeria.

Y1bos and their greedy and covetous nature always walk hand in hand.

If the owners of PH are OK with the funkified name, what is the business of y1bos in trying to revert it back to one very funny name?

The answer is -- for them to declare PH has their a no man's land or call it their own. As if their forefathers were adventurous enkugh to conquer anything.

IlekeHD:
The whole Lagos covers the whole SE.

What happened to Onitsha, the "largest" commerce location in Nigeria?

Or Port Harcourt?

How can a whole Lagos generate more than the oil region?

Are u thinkin 4rm ur ass, is lagos a one tribe effort, igbo contributed immensely!

High tym u stopped this nonsense u pple do abi say and be objective in ur analysis ah


And don't get me wrong am nt igbo am just seeing without tribal sentiment!

Simply question and you are bleating like a sheep. Who are the so called owners? Which is the largest ethnic group in rivers state? what name did it go by before christened phcourt by the british?

What is the foot print of the y1bos on the places you mentioned?

If their figures are die to y1bos, are the y1bos in SE aliens? Logically, every state in SE should have been realising 500bn per annum.

Y1bos and their penchant for taking glory for what they did not contribute zilch to.

Y1bos and their mouthful boast of helping others to develop something, while theirs lies underdeveloped.

Bunch of clowns.

Why are you this dull? You need to upgrade your pentium 1 brain asap.

Let even assuming you are trying to say Y1bos have the highest population in Rivers, does that give them the right to revert the name of PH that belongs to Ikwerres and Okrikans?
