Ngozi123: According to the same document you refer to, Lagos State generated 300bn in 2016 and received 2.3b in the month you gave So you can do the Maths and see that Lagos is a net giver to Nigeria and not a taker 8 Likes 1 Share |

Ngozi123: In any democracy, entire population doesn't make, pass and approve laws, they elect public officials inf orm of legislatures to make and pass laws for the governor to pass into law. In this case, the entire representatives of all the LGAs and regions in Lagos state crafted, deliberated, passed this law and the governor signed it into law. This is democracy, it worked as designed in Lagos state. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Ngozi123: Madam, from press reports, Anambra got 8.7 billion naira from federal govt in the 1st Quarter of 2017. FG, states, LGs, share N1.41trn in Q’1 2017 | ON MAY 22, 2017: In 2016, for a whole year - Anambra State contributed only N14.793bn as IGR, according to an investigation by the Economic Confidential Read more at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/igr-36-states-generate-n682bn/ Now back to your post: From the pdf files you made reference to, one of them dealt with IGR of states from January to June 2016. I was only able to see the following information: The National Bureau of Statistics released today the Internally Generated Revenue at State level for January to June 2016. In this report, Lagos State recorded the highest Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) figure of N150.59bn in Half Year 2016, closely followed by Ogun State with N28.15bn while Nasarawa State generated the lowest revenue for the period under reference at N1.05bn. It went further on to say: Year - Anambra State Now, this was stated on page 24 of the report. 5 Likes |

LaudableXX: I apologise, you're correct here. Still, the difference in what they give/recieve is not hugely disproportionate when you compare it to other states. They give little and they receive little. I will ask my original question again: how exactly is it profiting from immigration of Nigerians from other states on a large scale? 1 Like |
Re: My Message To Igbos Over The New Language Law In Lagos by omonnakoda: 12:51am On Feb 16, 2018 |
Ngozi123:Vague? What scale? Do you have any data What evidence is there that immigration is beneficial? Assumption What benefits did the desstitutes returned by Fashola bring? Too many unfounded assumptions By your logic Kano should be doing great. Lagos benefits from a tiny number of people the rest are nuisances 8 Likes 1 Share |

Ngozi123: There is a huge difference. In 2016, Anambra received a total sum of 60,100,345,047.16 billion naira from federal government. A whopping 60 billion! Compare this to the 14 billion naira the state is said to have generated as IGR in 2016.

LaudableXX: 46 billion Naira is not a lot for an entire state with a population of 4 million, although Obiano should be doing much more with it. Anambra State has still in no way profited from large scale immigration, as Lagos state has. 1 Like |

Ngozi123: For you to make 'immigration' your basis of argument, you need to have accurate census figures, appropriate data on the number of visitors each state receives annually, and a clear picture of the proportion of residents in Lagos who are non-indigenes, as well as facts, figures and data showing what they have contributed to the state. Do you have that? 4 Likes 1 Share |

USAbabe:Who says Niger-delta is not using their Oil "to do yanga?" I reside in Benin since birth till date. My father is Efik, so I am very much SS. Niger-delta has been holding Naija hostage because of its oil, it does what it likes and FG can't complain cause it owns the oil. It has 13 percent derivation and are calling for more. In fact South especially SE has supported them, but the SE refused to support Lagos when Lagos wanted special status, and even opposed the admission of Lagos into Oill Producing States. They only appreciate one Nigeria and claim Lagos when convenient, but refuse to support Lagos when necessary. 9 Likes 2 Shares |
