allrightsir:
Southerners are being fools! instead of you to focus on the fact that the majority of the govts revenue comes from the SOUTH whether ibo or yoruba you are busy fighting and abusing yourselves.....meanwhile the Northerners who contribute nothing get most of it. Samr thing with our brothers from the Oil producing region, they contribute all the Oil money and the North gets most of it, yet everyday we hear how they have natural resources in the North and every year it remains in the ground.


It is time we yorubas especially the youths join the call for restructuring as it was in the sixties.....let everybody keep 50% of what he generates. There are a lot of Ibos here with hate filled hearts but Yorubas need to look beyond their noise and realise that we are both slaves in this contraption called Nigeria and quite frankly yorubas need to understand that Nnamdi Kanu is doing us all a favour. We are both slaves in Nigeria, you cant win an election unless the north supports you and you cant change the constitution unless the North supports you (to change the constitution you need 66%) is that not slavery? Yoruba ronu!!!


We always claim to be the more enlightened race, it's time we use our brains and realise we have a common interests and whatever you feel about the Ibos, Kanu and IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu is doing us all a favour. I dont think Biafra will ever happen but the subject of the Northern stranglehold of the rest of us can no longer be ignored. Whether we like it or not, Nigeria cannot continue as is, let's be frank, it is a failed state. The SW of today is not where it should be considering where we were in the 50s and 60s.


We would all be better off (including the North) if every body has fiscal control of his domain and then contribute a portion to a weaker center.

Our Ibos brothers can be annoying sometimes especially with their hate speeches but let that not cloud your judgement....they are right at least in the sense that Nigeria is not working for them or for you and for that matter not for the Northerners, It is not working for anybody except the elites.


Yoruba people think o! Kanu is actually fighting your fight for you.

Quiet!!

When Yorubas are succeeding, they claim One Nigeria.

If it's to yab Yorubas, they won't write nonsensical epistle about one south.

BroZuma:


I get pressing work... it's left to those who the said data feeds to ascertain it's authenticity...she's "fallen" my hands on certain issues, statements and occasions.

Honestly, I don't understand this, bro.

ERockson:
The whole SE can not boast of 2% of the total VAT. I wonder which area they actually contribute to national growth in that region.

that's why they want out. Let them go u no gree

You Flattiess keep using this same line thinking everyone on NL are stupid and ignorant enough to keep swallowing your lies and propaganda.

These are pictures from the port at PH/Onne. There is nothing stopping Igbos from using it if they wanted to. The success of Lagos and the West is much more deeper than having just a seaport. What many of you don't even know is that the port in Lagos is MUCH SMALLER than what Nigeria actually needs, and less than half of foreign products in the country come through Lagos. Most come from the Cotonou, Lome and Tema ports in Benin, Togo and Ghana, YET Lagos is thriving just fine.

Use PH/Onne port Ndigbo. It is working and functioning just fine. No be by force to come Ragos!
Yorubas have told you to go, una no dey hear word. Lool













Those who are using this port in Onne are using it very fine! Dangote even uses it part time.
Go and develop your Villages and stop shouting Shuku Okuko Alabiabia and "Afonjas are holding us down" Up and down the dusty streets of Nnewi.

I did the supervision of the job you are currently seeing . why the port suddenly went dead is what I have not been able to understand till date.

And Yet, the same Ogun and Oyo states both generate more IGR Real Organic state Revenue than all the states in the South East put together..

Hhahaha the only thing Igbos have is MOUTH and constant online Rambling.
Awon Online warriors. Unfortunately for you lot, no be shouting and cursing on NL and Facebook dey generate money.

But bros, how could you be so wicked like this

This Finance Minister sounds so unintelligent to me... Why telling us instead of fixing the issue? Why are we paying her as Finance Minister.
Stop telling Nigerians and discuss it during your Weekly FEC meetings and explain to them why there is urgent need for Resources control....

kn23h:


You see the level of ignorance I'm talking about?

There are more young boys in Aba making fake gucci shoes, but why is the self-acclaimed JAPAN of Africa not generating enough revenue for the SE?

Why can't these so called 'industrious' characteristic reflect on SE IGR?

I've said it, one Yoruba company. Honeywell, makes more revenue than all these small small companies you're mentioning. These huge Yoruba companies pays more taxes to FG than all SE states.

The reason is that taxing the informal economy is difficult as everybody will avoid tax given the opportunity to.

Let me shock you a bit, do you think the huge IGR of Lagos is generated from taxes on companies? Go check the make up of the IGR for Lagos state and get back to me then we can discuss further.

scholes0:


It definitely wasn't generated by Gala, FanYogo and Lacasera hawkers in Lagos traffic.
Evans the only one Ibo "businessman" that was actually paying some tax in Lagos, turned out to be Just another Notorious IPOB Criminal.

Ah ah..bros. Maka why

totit:


Honestly, I don't understand this, bro.

It means my position on anything that comes out of her office remains the same until such a time as I deem it fit and necessary to verify said claims at my free time.



Capisce?

sunnyb0b0:


Lol. You see the ignorance I'm talking about. It is people like you that were wondering where Comet star, Maydon and Decees E international (relatively unknown traders) got more than $1M each to settle Evans as ransom.

What is $1M revenue per annum? Are u just kidding? Young boys in Idumota, Alaba, Trade fair etc who are not even known generate revenue more than that per annum.

This is what you refer to as revenue right?

I have been wrecked after borrowing money from banks to pay the ransom. What we are trying to do now is to start paying debt to the banks.

Abeg Mechionu.
Oyo and Ogun states are the second or third largest non oil GDP in Nigeria after Lagos. It is between one of both, we still arent sure because Oyo used t be number 2, but Ogun has risen profoundly of recent.
What do you mean how many people in Oyo or Ogun can boast of a disposable income, Lmao. The SW remains farrr richer than your SE region no matter how you want to dice it, be it Bulk GDP, Disposable income, Number of Rich people, State generated incomes, Multidimensional poverty, etc. Data has shown that the SE consistently remains the poorest region in the South of Nigeria as provided by several Global and National indices over years..



And another:



And yet another Indices

Bros its official, you wicked. Thats a brutality.

Agreed.

Ibo traders avoid paying taxes. Ibos don't pay taxes.

Most taxes are retrieved from government-workers. The SW makes up majority of those posts.

Sunnyja:
I did the supervision of the job you are currently seeing . why the port suddenly went dead is what I have not been able to understand till date.

Aha. I wonder too. Could it be the FG didn't want it to succeed?

5DMindset:
The Oil companies that contribute to the IGR of Lagos have no business being at Lagos.

When you close all airports and allow only Lagos to function, are you surprise ?

When you shut down all the sea ports and allow only Lagos to function, are you surprise ?

When you do not allow banks to accept houses in the SE as collateral for bank loans, but only for Lagos, Abuja and your favorite states, are you surprise that we have to come to Lagos to buy assets in other to qualify for loans ?

Now the Polytechnic Accountant, now Minister of Finance wants States to survive on IGR while Federal Govt will do what with the Oil allocation that they steal from Niger Delta ?

She is stupid, if you ask me.

you fooled me on one thread like that thinking you are rational unbiased fellow.

now I know you are just a useless closet OSU tribalist too ashamed to come out straight.

look at the trash you wrote. so much hatred in you.

omohayek:

Actually, even this figure overstates how much Lagos relies on the FG. Remember that LASG gets none of the business taxes paid by Lagos-resident companies, or the levies raised from the Lagos ports, and if those were accounted for, they would be far greater than the 178 billion the state gets in allocation money.

Now I see why Ibile holdings was created. We need to be able to keep some of those monies, but we really can't complain anyway, ND's situation is worse.

scholes0:


LIES..... Majority of IGR comes from people working traceable Jobs like Gov't employees, ad local SMEs
And from the nigerian chamber of commerce and Industry, the SW has by far the largest number of small and medium sized enterprises in the country.

Who told you things like Import duties are part of IGR? When did Nigerian Port Authority become a state owned parastatal?

LOOL!

You know what ? I won't argue with you
You even helped butress my point

Those insulting south Eastern states are ignorant and f00lush
Cause my point was if you take away all those you call Igbos you think this IGR will be where it is ?

You think 90% of those workers you claimed pay taxes are only yorubas please let's learn to think and not talk for the sake of it

Igbos should tell us 10 igbo companies that generates more than $1m per year


Yorubas are ready to name 50.

Ngokafor:



....Are you an illiterate??..my 'parasitic' there was simply sarcasm.....It is only in Nigeria where one will find the providers fight tooth and nail to be attached to their providee,by hook or crook
Keep deceiving yourselves..sooner or later we shall know who the true parasites,opportunists and free-loaders are..

..very soon.

I'm more in a hurry than you.

Can't wait for your empty chest beating lot to return to your CornTree home in the yeast.

Ordinary VAT SE cannot pay. Always evading taxes

Oga080666419419:


do you think it was generated with lazy yoouths crowding all betting centers in Oyo and Ogun States.

Lagos is a no man's land.

Lol! If it's a no man's land then I guess an igbo person or an Hausa man would av been governor at least for once. It's ur useless brothers and sisters that run from their God-forsaken villages and come to Lagos to make a living that are fond of calling it a 'no-man's land', always wanting to claim better thing, u left ur stupid villages undeveloped.

You're not a Yoruba. Awon romance section omo ales claiming Yoruba.

Tell us which Ibo company can achieve this


This is the Yoruba type companies we're talking about.

Lol.. These flattties are one funny bunch of people. Are igbos the only tribe in Lagos? Why are they the only one shouting 'lagos is no man's land'? You were allowed to do business and pay taxes just like everyone else. So is it anyone's fault that the region you chose to do your business is developing better than your own abandoned' heaven '? If the region does not provide an enabling and conducive atmosphere would you be able to stay there?

Well, it's good you are helping to develop other peoples region while your own region is left barren. Keep on shouting ' no man's land 'until you get the biafra you're agitating for, and all your years of stupidity dawns on you

kn23h:


So tell us how many taxes are generated from SE states and why Ibos need to travel to the SW to make money.

Ask the ibos I am not one, but if I have to guess it's because humans by nature migrate where they see greener pastures

Trust me it's nothing special or specific to the south west it's everywhere in the world

Just like someone asking why there are so many of us yorubas in Kent or Brixton

Does that question make sense to you?
