Ayomi90:

They don't need to boast, u know the truth, Igbos don't have IGR, we all know that and there is records that shows that.

kettykings:


Lagos has a very high debt profile of more than N500b , which has lingered since the time of Tinubu without getting liquidated . I don't see how Lagos can get loans or other means of funds to fund N1.38T budget, my check on previous lagos budget shows that they did not materialize. And was not above 75% budget performance.

But it is worth the effort to get state funded very well like they are trying.

Newton85:
Na you sabi. Just don't cry about "discrimination" or "propaganda" when next your inferior IGR and VAT are exposed.

SmokedWhiskey:
Is Anambra in a better off position than Akwa Ibom or even Kano? I seriously doubt it; This is one of those write ups that dances around in circles without saying nothing ; That you are able to fund your budget without borrowing does not necessarily mean you are in a better off position than those that borrowed. Some states are investing heavily in strategic infrastructure so In the interim their books may be in the red. You cannot argue that a man earning 5k a month who has not taken any loans , is better off than a man earning 500k a month who owes one million. Yes we know that several states cannot stand on their two feet, nothing new there.
; if however you must paint a picture of which states are doing well, let us compare for each state what the total revenue from federal allocation is, the IGR, the debt burden and the revenue to debt ratio and we can go from there, this would had served as a much better basis for comparison.

So What happened to those states with higher IGR and VAT than Anambra state? Even with lower budget, they will still depend largely on FG allocation to meet up with the provisions of their budget.
So what changed?

Restructure what? A Failure will always find an excuse for their failure, You have a National Assembly, it is their duty to give you a new framework for your country, if you truly so desire.

If there is true federalism, every State in the Niger Delta should be able to meet up with the required fundings.

IGR figures can be manipulated for propaganda and empty chest thumping.
But you can't manipulate not being able to fund your budget. You either can fund it or you can't.
No room for propaganda.

Simeonjoe1:


Well I guess you didn't read the article.
It's about who can found the budget conveniently. The budget proposed for anambra is about 148b and that of ogun state and Delta is almost twice. Which means it's easier for anambra to fund theirs since it's lesser. You'll well agree that if their propose budget is about 150bn both state will be able to meet up.

Our supreme court governor is busy praising Buhari for leading him and his godforsaken family right, not Nigerians like he claimed. Amadioha will soon kill the bleaching idiot since HIV is wasting time.

Gov Peter Obi's legacy still lives on years after his tenure as Anambra State governor.

Nobody is arguing with you..those that have should use it and change their brown roofs and end the end hunger in their region that have turned them to skull miners and head hunters
