SW Nurudeens shall join the northern Forum in opposition.

Northern Nigeria holds southern Nigeria at the scrotal sac. Northern politicians decide what can be or not to be in Nigeria.? Southern regions are most divided and even betray themselves. SW govs led by the last gov of Ondo state betrayed southern governors Forum meeting when he used the forum to launch presidential power to the SW, knowing full well it's the turn of the southeast.
When Obasanjo was seeking 3rd term, he sent late Aneni to Enugu to host a conference of southern politicians. The communique of the conference was Nigeria was not developing because resources have been managed a long time by leaders hailed from areas where the resources are not found.

VAT should be localised; if a group of people, states, or otherwise are not patronising a product or not aligning with the consumption, such people have no right to share in the distribution of VAT.

“In some parts of the North, alcohol is forbidden, and there are several instances where it was openly destroyed

“It would be abnormal for such states to benefit from the sharing of VAT accrued from the consumption of alcohol.

Therefore, it should be on the basis of consumption.

Well said! VAT should be localized. I support that. You pay VAT at the point of consumption.

Vision less northern governors.

I'm sure you didn't read the article, but those Northern governors who rejected the bill are 100% right!

There should be proper tax reforms whereby businesses pay their VATs to their state of operation, not their headquarters paying their VAT.

If the legislature passes the current VAT bill, it means Lagos, where most companies' headquarters are located, will be enjoying all the VAT revenue.

Clearly show that the man doesn't know what he is saying, Drinks like Martina,Malta Guinness,Fayrouz and many more are products of some breweries companies in Nigeria,this companies don't just devide based on product the pay their tax as an entity,the Northerners consume this product as well and other non alcoholic drinks.
Why then will they capitalize on alcohol only?

The North has a point though, if fairness is the objective, then goods and services must be distributed based on where the goods and services are consumed! If that is done......lagos share will come down drastically o! As for your tribalist vituperations against Ndigbo, you are just envious of Ndigbo....if the southeast is a parasite on the union, then let them go and form an independent nation!

Re: Fresh Controversies Over Northern Govs’ Opposition To Tax Reform Bills by tuoyoojo(m): 2:01pm On Oct 31
It is extremely sad that the north is bringing this up

I dislike this tilumbu regime but this singular bill has the propensity to change Nigeria if it is followed thru.

Imagine all the vast resources in the north but many northern states refuse to look inwards. Look at the vast Arable lands just wasting away but they are waiting for oyel money

What happened to the oyel that buhari found in bauchi, can they not develop that.

What about the gold in zamfara. That one na bandits they share that one. They are hiding or refusing to develop their own and are waiting to eat other people's own

No be juju be that

If they said the headquarters of production site is not domiciled where production is happening, they make ur place comfortable for them to come. This wrapped argument does not only affect north but some south south states.

Most oyel companies have their headquarters in lagos so it's up to those states to make their land habitable for companies to come. I remember how most oil companies left the south south to be domiciled in lagos.

If this bill flies, states would be falling over themselves to woo investors, making sure the place is suitable for investors, by encouraging better security, provide working amenities and everything required to make those business thrive

Where is the oil well they claimed they discovered during the time of Buhari.

After drilling it they capped it to be drilled in their next world when Buhari's ghost would come again.

The entire northern states with the exception of Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba states are pariah states. They have nothing to render this country but poverty and destitutions.

Do you remember that in the past, the Western Region gave loans to the government of the Center?

The Northern leaders are not coming to this with clean hands. You talk about HQ, I talk about production. They are currently hiding under one Nigeria for their poor performance. If they have no place to hide under, they will be forced to produce instead of relying on prodcution revenue from other places. Remember Oyo and Rivers have once fought FG over this VAT

Make your states conducive for investment and see investors troop in ...
