This VAT of a thing will finally expose and humble the north. They have been living at the mercy of the south for a long time but deceptively adding cow and camel population to their number to create a wrong impression that they are the majority. Breeze don blow grin

We feed the South, in turn what do they contribute to Nigeria aside given us problems up and down.

Look, the constitution is the problem. All of these you have said cannot be done under the constitution that governs us. The constitution is a fraud and a pressure-cooker for injustice and we all have to shoot it down.

Lagos State will not carry last in getting VAT. In fact, FIRS will soon be abandoned. This is good.

More laws like .....let's go there. I said it before, and I am saying it again that there is no need for secession. Make SS and SE start strategizing how to cut off the crude pipe to Kaduna refinery legally. They should use everything within their power to fight FG. This is the way forward. There is absolutely no need to start fighting for any damn president of Nigeria..the Prime Minister of each region controls the resources. And let there be supreme court in each regions. Then, State police should take over.

When State police takes over, DSS cannot harass anyone. Military will be relegated to only war. Dem no norn dem well to maltreat civilians.

This is the way forward.

Wike of River, my guy. Nice one. Ortum of Benue....good one. Akete of Ondo...nice one.

And see...Jagaban is showing the north gradually that he that brought Buhari to power can also instigate and make the whole of the south leave the north.

Let's see how everything plays out.

Definitely, all the military grade weapons and ammunitions being paraded by the delusional fulani herdsmen for their nefarious activities are not gotten with the proceeds from cattle sales. Fiscal federalism is the way to go in order to teach these useless parasites some senses.

We told you initially that Buhari,with his senseless nepotism,will wake up some very dangerous monsters in the bellies of southerners ! Some times ago,some fools blocked all the major routes - highways to the southern parts of the country in their futile attempt to " kill southerners with hunger",lol ! Who is now begging who ? Bunch of cows; you've not seen anything yet !

Without the wealth from the southern part of Nigeria,would the north have been different in anyway from the likes of Niger,Chad,Somalia etc ? From the very rich like politicians,emirs,
corrupt military officers,etc to the very poor like the almajiris,all northerners depend on Nigeria for survival and that's a fact !

States can generate new sources of revenue they have not been exploring so far. Property tax, sales tax, road tolls, etc. If states implement tax collection aggressively, they can be self sufficient.

But that's not true. State collecting will bring in more revenue to any state cos what goes to federal comes directly to the state. Then the state can now remit same on percentage to the federal.

Northern governors need to open their economy and think. You can't be banning taxable products and service yet want the proceeds of what you consider crime

The Gombe State Government has appealed to Southern State Governments to reconsider their push to keep Value Added Tax (VAT) generated from their states.

There you have it. All that posturing and running your mouth that you are the economic engine of the country, are nothing but arrant nonsense. You FULANI ingrates and parasites have taken more than the indigenous people have come to realize. You stifle and destroy genuine and legitimate businesses that generate huge amounts of revenue with your stupid sharia law. And then you turn around and want to share in the revenues generated by the same type of businesses that you destroy in your state. Why NOT call on your ignorant and good for nothing hisbah police to make up the revenue difference? Why rely on the south?

Infact the humor of the situation is simple when you wake up to the fact that

1. All states in Nigeria have the same problem...low tax to gdp ratios, low percentage of the taxable population paying taxes.

2.Most state governors know what to do, ....tax everyone including the majority in the informal sector, the farmers, the laborer's, the herdsmen, etc.

3.They won't do it...because it means they all get voted out.

4.Southern state governors thus hit on seizing VAT...as a smart way of getting out of their predicament. It helps them in these ways

FIRST: they get some extra money for the state coffers without having to raise taxes on the majority who don't pay taxes.(even though long term it may not be enough, but that's not the point)
SECOND: it helps them politically; gives southern nigerians an enemy to focus on (the evil North)...and also shows them as defenders of the South vs the parasitic, evil, North. It also enables them to get voted into office forever and ever....after they finish being governors. (Just as one Alhaji Sani got himself a permanent seat as A SENATOR after retiring as a GOVERNOR because he introduced Sharia)

5.Northern governors are in a quandary

FIRST: They lose the extra income from vat..which worsens their allocation from Abuja...especially as oil is low...and still low.
SECOND: They then may have to do what their southern governor counterparts are not going to do...raise taxes on the majority of their population that like the South does not pay taxes. Which means they cannot have any polticial benefits...and anyone of them hoping for bigger things after governor is in trobule.


That's why when I tell people I don't like APC or PDP....they think I am lying. Well, this whole VAT thing is one of the ways both sets of politicians pull wool over our eyes. Now it is the turn of our Southern governors. Meanwhile....the money from VAT would not be enough long term. And the problem still remains....30% of taxable Nigerians actually pay taxes, and our tax to gdp ratio is 6.1% and we are still dependent on oil.

But hey, we have beaten those Northerners. Just like the North used Sharia to beat them Southerners. That's all that matters. Either way, Nigeria keeps on suffering.

Tomorrow...most of you praising WIKE will end up asking the same question.....where is the money going to? Why am I not seeing benefit? Why won't you..when the problem causing the lack of money was never really addressed?
NO ONE GOVERNANCE IS EASY. THE GOOD THING IS THAT 36 GOVERNORS WILL NOW HAVE TO SEW THEIR COAT ACCORDING TO THEIR SIZE. THAT MEANS PUTTING ON THEIR THINKING CAPS. NIGERIANS WILL NOW KNOW THOSE WHO HAVE HEADS FROM THOSE WHO ONLY HAVE COCONUTS.

So let me get this straight. You enact Shariah Laws, destroy alcoholic beverage businesses of southerners in your state but wants the same southerners to share their VAT from such businesses with you? Kano gets to keep 100% of its own contributions but Lagos, Rivers etc don’t even get 50% of theirs. Are these people even okay in the brain?

The North of Nigeria always claims to have millions of people when it comes to census & elections

When it comes to paying VAT those millions seem to vanish

Is that not a miracle?

Why wont the North beg when their millions only manifest to vote & be counted but cant pay tax of any sort.

Just common stopping sending food to the south & they cried.
Abi their millions can't buy the food?

Unless the millions in the North can only vote, they dont buy or sell.
Then I see reason why they cant raise VAT

If not then we need to revisit the Norths so called Millions in population


You feed who biko?
Is the North not the center of poverty, so ur feeding who when u cant feed urself?

The South gives you VAT receipts, Oil Revenue freely as handout

We buy Food from you, thats business not handout.

When we stopped buying food from the North , the North cried
