Rayhut:

They can only go home when Nigeria divide. Kwankwaso have told you people to shut up, that anywhere you live in Nigeria is your home, Lagos is the home of Igbo people living it, currently occupying 45% and paying their tax for good of Lagos their home.

OBAGADAFFI:


The same 45% that couldn't give make JIMI governor with all their noise.

menabadoo:
lagos is not yorubaland, must we go through this again?

What's the Yoruba name for lagos? Eko is a Bini word

IGBOPRINCE:
I pray
Only time will tell. we re moving non stop.

pazienza:
Anambrarians here should not fall for the trap Ileke is setting.

The most important thing is that SE cumulatively trashed SW.
Who or who in SE that contributed most to see to this, is simply academic and an internal affair.

IGBOPRINCE:
we didn't add PH so you must not add lagos

bayulll01:


The yorubas is the least of your worries,hold ur leaders accountables and tell them to invest in their region,so that lagos can be deconjested abeg,lagos has been in existence even before nigeria,haven't you heard about the northern protectorate,southern protectorate and lagos colony,read gns 101 lagos and its environ,you will know better,but you pple don't read

pazienza:


Ide nnaa, don't be that way. Anambra mustnt always been in the spot light in the SE. For long, we are always in the spotlight while other Igbo states cheered us on, and even used Anambra achievements to take pride.

We must learn to do the same now. Ofu Obi! Be happy for Ebonyians and Enugu people, while we press on Obiano to work more to improve Anambra IGR.

ABEngine:


Ode! Move the ports from Lagos and see if one igbo man remains in your heaven. Mind you for political purposes the NPA in PH is "arguably" moribund. This is the the Atikus play with Intel to divert major port activities to Lagos.

Perhaps you have forgotten so soon that Lagos received inhabitants after its naming as the Federal capital coupled with the advantages of it being a port, so I expect the Bwaris and other Abuja locals to rant to your yoruba brothers in times to come.

Lazy ass

Rayhut:

Taa park one side abeg, the white people archives. Google it

Rayhut:

Taa park one side abeg, the white people discovered Lagos when only Egun, Aworis and ijaws was living in it, the white colonist sand filled it and make it what it was today, later the Bini king send expedition to Lagos and captured it and later hand it over to the white colonizers, then later migrant Yorubas started pouring in from the hinterland followed by the igbos and others, in the old western Nigeria, Lagos is not part of South Western Nigeria and that is what Nigeria constitution recognized, geopolitical zones is not recognized by Nigeria constitution, don't go and read books written by Yorubas to soot their interest, the same way they coined a fake story about Oduduwa, where as Oduduwa is one of the runaway banished Benin prince as well documented in Benin ancient archives. Google it

scholes0:


Lol
At least they have toned it down from 60%
Getting closer to reality.

FreeGlobe:

How much does yorubaland generate?

ABEngine:


Dear Historian, J. T Aguiyi Ironsi didn't fight the 1966/67 "One Nigeria" war. The all so important Nigeria which is apparently the north should have let go at that point if it was meaningless to keep a bunch of "non-entities" as non igbos now claim.

FKO81:

Oboy, once we bust their lies they will go underground

superstar1:


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.

SW : 333+B
SE: 61+B Now we know the real parasite Russia should just help us to wipe out SE+N from the face of this earth. unfruitful and ungrateful fellows. with the way iboes Bragg on nairaland, I expect there GDP/igr to be giving that of USA & China a run for there money. I urge the SW to start competing with Egypt/SA etc. we are no match to any region in Nigeria, they are just distraction.

FKO81:
And fools from west will ask what Igbos contribute? Lagos is collective efforts by all

omonnakoda:
Well sorry to burst the bubble of haters but Lagos state is in the SW and [b]the scale of revenue generation was done by Yoruba administrators. [/b]At the time the Federal Government left if 1991 Lagos was impoverished.In 1999 Lagos was generating 600 million a year and then Tinubu came in. and changed things around. To al large extent Lagos has been transformed since 1999 and is a more progressive state.

The real questions must be asked of states like Delta,River,Akwa Ibom and Rivers .They could have done a lot better considering al the money that has passed through those states since 1999. Those states alone could have funded a National carrier.Ultimately the ability to generate revenue is a reflection of employment and when some states have no jobs their people migrate and develop other places. What I find puzzling and encouraging is the performance of Kwara and Ebonyi ,those two for me are the shining stars
Finally we need to fight corruption.It is only when corruption is at a minimum that taxation has credibility

somegirl1:


It should then follow that other SW states under Yoruba administration would generate similar revenue figures. But none come close.
Lagos is in the SW, no contest but yorubas can not single-handedly claim to have built Lagos's economy. It's like declaring that the Gwaris of Abuja made it what it is today.

somegirl1:


Your reasoning would have been spot on if other SW states had similar revenue figures to that of Lagos state. If this report is true, it only supports the argument that Lagos state revenue is generated by the collective effort of all Nigerians.

biafranking:
bro am not here to quarrel with you..
not that there re no hausa on nairaland but how many re they?
How can you give me ten ? And in that ten figures only 4 maybe commenting on nairaland.
Ten is too small bro.. I thought you will mentioned 100..

omonnakoda:
We are not talking of the economy but the ability of government to extract revenue from the economy .This is a measure of administrative acumen and not a proxy for the economy. It would be foolish to presume that the list of IGR is a ranking of Economies by size
If your focus is the Yoruba thing why limit yourself to SW is Kwara not Yoruba?
No Yorubas did not single-handedly build Lagos or anything no one is claiming that .
The point is the revenue was there to be extracted but never was in Lagos. Why?
but those Yoruba states are performing Look at Ogun Oyo and Kwara. Ekiti state is in the PDP camp but we will turn it around . That is the poorest Yoruba state and the least developed.

agalamanyi:
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!
