Why do you say so?

they the arranger of insurgency will tell their pikin to stop the drama

Buckeyemedia1:
No be National Assembly enact the Federal Tax laws? Isn’t it these same laws pdp used for 16 years? All these noise thinking they are doing President Buhari, cut your nose to spite their ears?

Same thing they did with Endsars, after everything Police didn’t change, actually they became more pathetic, insecurity is worse, they will look for a scapegoat & blame the President for their own ignorant actions. Tomorrow we will hear the Governor has stolen all the monies collected via VAT for his re-election,yet the President has refused to invite EFCC?

i guess the Terrorist and insurgency sponsored by north is preferable.

they should collect their tax and pay FG their own. Then they fight in collecting, and managing their natural resources

The 36 state government took the FG to court, that the FG is not supposed to collect stamp duty that it is the duty of the states to collect stamp duty.

Yet some of these 36 state government wants the Same FG to collect VAT on their behalf.

Who is fooling who?

bobowaja:

This shows further that you are ignorant. There is no law backing the firs or any fed govt agencies to collect vat. That was why the firs secretly sent a letter to nass to input the vat in exclusive list.

So you see there is no law your father and mine made to make FG collect these taxes nor was any agreement between us for the loopsides sharing formula. It is just an high-class fraud to start with and the feeding states says enough, only for the parasites to start crying bloody tears.

To me, every state can survive, either north or south. There are some northern states that will even fare better than southern ones. Example is Kano, Kaduna and zamfara (if this one can manage its gold).

You guys just want to be lazy and collect free money. Cos I don't see why you should be bittered about this....

At least northern states won’t be issuing quite notice up and down ...

Cuz they need human resource to generate vat.. no longer fed money for giving notice

The thing pain this one very very well.. aboki don't worry, una go make more money from HAT.. Hisbah antialcohol tax. Leave VAT for us mbok ette.

mecussey:


Don't mind that Fulani janjaweedd. Anything that will take the parasites away from the host is a problem to them. I am not surprised, even malaria parasite fights back when you administer anti parasite drugs.

Yes you re right on this. Parasite won't let go easily.

More accountable to who, how much IGR was realized by your state for the last 5 years, what was it spent on, can you tell me? Even if I gave you 3 months to provide evidence you wouldn’t? Your jargon response just reiterated my point you think all these your chasing shadows is hurting President Buhari?

Chasing shadows mocking yourselves? The States shouting we want to go it alone are the states in which the Federal Government has invested heavily in the past? Rivers & Lagos State most especially, NDDC just dashed their former HQ to Rivers State, What Federal infrastructures has the Federal Government got in your State’s capital city?

Selfish elements, what most of you ignorant peeps don’t know is that 85% stays with the state, 50% State, 35% Local Government, remainder 15% FG, What is the noise about, isn’t Nigeria one country?, don’t we have southern Nigerians that school, live & work in the North?, Lagos Kano, Kaduna Lagos are sold out flights everyday.

hahahaha, this man is so paind because of this VAT issue. Oga so you be want make them carry NDDC office go Katsina or Kano

Once Delta state join this matter, e Don finish.
The only state I know that is bigger than the FG. delta state is the Don! The senior man!
Make abokeys just run come here with their gold while signing the agreement to be our slaves forever... Maybe then we could reconsider.

Note: even if the abokeys give us everything they have including signing the agreement to be our slaves forever, it's only gonna push the probability of we deciding to do what they want to 0.001%

What has been exposed and brought to the public domain is that the central government lacks the constitutional backing to collect VAT on behalf of states.



Except the FIRS gets a Jankara judgement from our jujuciary, it would be a hard nut to crack because the central government has been collecting VAT on behalf of states illegally and unconstitutionally all these while.




Governor Wike has just opened everyone's eyes to this gross anomaly.

The point is, make the centre unattractive, let states have more funds, and let those that did not have work on themselves, then the rush to Abuja will reduce. That is restructuring, if banditry and kidnapping should continue in the North then they are likely to get a better VAT in Ransome from those guys.

I see freedom coming to the southern Nigeria

Stop crying. This is how a federal system is supposed to work. There is no honour in being parasites, from generation to generation.

shadeyinka:

Good, Restructuring has started small small

Yes oo

No wonder most lazy state governors run everyday to Abuja to say long live Mr Buhari, instead of serving the citizens who voted them into office.

Lol endsars no more killing of rich youth in my hood.
It seems you don't know what started endsars

bobowaja:

@bolded. All these fallacious arguments of state govs stealing cos you lots don't want to let go of the feeding states you love to hate. What has FG being doing with the funds all these while if not stealing from the richer states to give poorer ones and corrupt politicians? Is it not better for my own brother to steal than for a stranger to do so and still spite me?

Moreover, this action will bring governance down to state level. We know who to hold responsible. My house to my gov house na N200 go come and it is within 10minutes of driving. Unlike all road leads to Abuja politics where no common man have access to the Aso Rock without getting shots by the trigger happy security agents.

This actions will make govs more accountable and responsible. And after this war, we will fight the LG war to further bring governance down to the grassroots.

That is how it ought to be.

Thank you jare.
I pray more states join.

Truthissupreme:
local government have a defined segment to collect revenue from eg parks, stores etc

Majority of the VAT you are expecting them to collect is not in their jurisdiction

State collects the ones beyond LGA yet within the state

FG has no law defining the VAT it collects in every state

Apart from maybe imports, shipping, exports that is external

The guy is not concerned about the local government, but pained because the zoo is falling and free money they make them quest for power is about to stop.

Don't mind the parasites who claim that they have a population of 150 million out of the so called 200 million population of LIEGERIA and could elect whoever they choose as the president. But yet that same huge population does not have the capacity to generate enough revenue to sustain themselves. This their false narrative tells us one thing, either that these FULANI TERRORISTS do NOT have the population that they have been claiming or they are just lazy ass people that want to depend on others for their survival. Let each state control the revenue that it can generate and for those who can't, then they do NOT deserve to be a state. WE do NOT need leeches.

Sir,

I beg to differ. This has nothing to do with Mr. Buhari.
The fact that existential tax laws were either misunderstood and wrongly interpreted has absolutely nothing to do with Buhari.
Are you inferring that because Buhari is president, we should ignore what the constitution says?
The constitution isn’t perfect. When Buhari, like any other Nigerian president is a public servant. He’ll leave by 2023. He won’t take the constitution along with him.
If the proceeds from VAT are misappropriated by the state government, there are agencies saddled with the responsibility of prosecuting such misappropriation.
Thus for now , let the constitution reign, until it’s interpreted otherwise by a competent court of jurisdiction.

Which North, are you not Nigerian? Can you mention one Nigerian that is a known sponsor of terrorism, even sponsors of ipob have still not been identified, Boko Haram & Ipob only Jehovah & Allah will punish them for their deceit & division, the revolution will not be televised.

Let them be ranting their mouths everywhere, when Supreme Court rules in FIRS favor, they will start again with Fulani Supreme Court cliche, my own is why should Local Government & state share joint account?

The same laws that FIRS is claiming, should be amended & the part of the constitution amended, Joint account separated, Local Government Keeps 60% of its allocations, revenue both Federal Allocation & IGR, States 25%, Federal 15%, why should the Centre collect 50%, Local Governments 35%, Federal Government 15%, what kind of cheating is that?

That's good.

Why are you making Federal Government about President Buhari? Was he the one that created FIRS? Isn’t it this same system pdp ran with for 16 years? Now those political Miscreants & their sympathizers want to imagine that it is President Buhari vs others, laws that they created by themselves?

In the long run, You people will wail profusely, keep deceiving yourselves, One thing I know for a fact is that the provisions of the Firs Act, finance-act- amended 2020 Which was enacted by the National Assembly, supersedes any law enacted by a state House of Assembly. Section 4(5) of The Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended) is unambiguous.


(5) If any Law enacted by the House of Assembly of a State is inconsistent with any law validly made by the National Assembly, the law made by the National Assembly shall prevail, and that other Law shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void.

Let those Mumu politicians be playing the gullible masses, lawyers collecting their share of the on going movie, that is what they do best, that is why they call wike & co politicians, Abubakar Atiku Makavelli The Don, The common third eye blind peasant, must be deceived by any means necessary. Las las much ado about nothing.

Good step in the right direction.The struggle for northerners to become president will dwindle.

Why should someone be bittered cos another man is trying to legitimately secure his finances? That was how u cried when SW govs wanted to create amotekun. Who cry when a house owner want to secured his house? Thief and looters does.

That means we are actually dealing with thieves in this sham republic.
