The discussion about Ogun state and the deplorable road networks brings us back to the issue of Fiscal Federalism and revenue allocation formula. Look at what Ogun State got from the federal purse despite having over 500 companies that pay Company Income Tax to the FG. Ogun state contributes over 30% to Nigeria's non-oil economy.

Look at it's share of VAT and Ecological funds. Cement companies are blasting limestone in Ewekoro, Ibeshe, and construction companies are mining granite across the state. Ogun has Agbara, Ibeshe, Mowe, and Sagamu industrial hubs, what does the state gain in return? PAYE from underpaid casual workers. No % derivation, yet Limestone is mined continuously in the state. Why pay derivation for oil and not pay for Limestone?

Why would Yobe earn more money from the FG's purse than Ogun state? Ogun state is bottom 20 in terms of revenue allocation from the FG. This abysmal model of rewarding states based on landmass, population and needs instead of contributions and derivation has to stop.

See your reason

How can Abia state earn more than ogun state??

Also note that most these companies generating money for federal govt in SW are owned by yoruba and at the end of the day, they get scraps in return

What kind of sham federalism is this?

You done every travel outside South West before?

It's deliberate.
Designed to slow down innocent people and increase skull mining IGR.


The last time I was going to Ilorin to try and install an Oba by force, I followed Atlantic Ocean to Benin Republic then re-entered through Oyo State to continue my journey.

If you love your life, avoid Ogun State.

Abodiun Ogun State and ikepzu of Abia State
