I am highly disappointed in the SE region. Even NE that's plagued by Boko Haram did better

All these stats are misleading by the time you dig deeper.

Eg. An mtn consumer in Abia pays VAT which is counted under Lagos.

Not suprised at thos data. SW and SS are very productive. Other regions need to buckle up.
Monkey can't be working, while baboon they chop.

SE is flourishing because we know not to kill businesses with tax! All in the name of bat abi na VAT

Making excuses for failures. How come NE did better than the SE. Are there MTN forces in Borno too?

Toor

They don't have any natural resources they contribute zero to national purse yet they want to break up from Nigeria.
If not that we don't want Biafran kids eating red sand for dinner we would have granted them their biafra with farewell party and some grains as parting gift

This is not fair.

South East — ₦8.16bn | ₦29.03bn [356%]


356% and they contribute nothing to the progress of the country.
Bambiala of the South.
Parasites!!!

This is not fair.

Absolutely not fair.

Aside that, it would make lots of governors in less productive states lazy.

Watch how clowns would flood here to brag about how their region contributes the highest vat in Nigeria.

Yet more than 60% of the populace are still living in abject poverty. What then is all the billions for if it can't improve the standard of living of the common man?

How could this be true 🤔 just asking

We now know who the real parasites of Nigeria are. Chest-beating irritants who contribute nothing but make the loudest noise.

South West — ₦278.52bn | ₦73.09bn [26%],
South West received 26% of what it contributed

Just 26%? Why?

How come the region with less contribution receive more?

Epitome of ignoramus!!

Do you even know what is VAT?

Learn to keep quiet!! All these babablus always disgracing themselves.

Dont be disappointed.....it will keep improving

Nawa... parasitic human eaters😹

You could not have said it better.

They have no clue about what good governance is for their 356% VAT-receiving region. But they know what’s best for Nigeria. Their OBVIOUS love for Nigeria is second to none.

Burruchaga71:
South east really tried with ONLY 5 states

Delta is just one state, compare what they contributed with what all the five SE states contributed all together.

There’s no excuse for failure, just embrace it and get back to work.

Ozuor!!!! Being half smart….who is generating a high percentage of the Lagos VAT you are grunting over?

If the one Nigeria don tire una make we dissolve am make everybody go their side nah

But na dem dey make mouth .
Empty barrels leeching on other regions of Nigeria.

I apologize to the North for always yabbing them. 🤣

We need to understand that South East business is more outside of the 5 states of eastern Nigeria. We can see their businesses everywhere we travel to so we should stop acting ignorance. They are everywhere we go doing better than most tribes in Nigeria. I am not Igbo but we can't deny that.
