People who are not intelligent and creative shouldn't have any business with politics. The revolution has already begun.

Iamgrey5:
The south west contributes the most VAT too

Lagos Ogun and Oyo(particularly ibadan)

But why is North West collecting more than the South South that contributes the next largest Chunk.

Northerners generally don't pay tax under the current tax regime.

Flexherbal:
Every state should control their resources, simple.

End of the money. No developments, floods everywhere, poverty. All politicians are now looking at 2023

Gross nonsense!
How possible Katsina, Bauchi, Jigawa got more Vat than Anambra, Ondo Ogun, Akwaibom, delta etc?

I challenge any Northern here to tell me the industries and economy activities wey dey there!

Cc: quotasystem, Arrewa, Buckeyemedia1

mac04:

Why the emphasis on Ibadan? Are we now looking at how much each town/City is contributing to the center?

Omoluabi1stborn:


Just imagine
Bauchi, Katsina, Jigawa receiving more vat than Ondo, Akwaibom, Abia.
What kind of nonsense is that?

greatiyk4u:
The VAT saga will affect everybody because states will now become serious with taxation which will affect all of us as everyone will be forced to start paying, besides, I am for states collecting the VAT so that only serious minded people will vie for elective positions

Tomahawk99:


Wetin you dey talk?

psalmistkakah:

Especially Jigawa that state na Local govt...

Matheusmartin:
.....
The north has always been backward.
Seeking every opportunity to leech the south...

It was their underdevelopment that prompted the colonial Marsters to join the two regions and admister them as one.

EagleNest:
The North rigged the system to their advantage thru military govt. Nearly everything is rigged.

Omoluabi1stborn:


How can Jigawa, Katsina, Bauchi Getting more Vat than Ondo, Delta, Anambra, Ogun, Abia, Akwaibom

Just tell me

techwaya:
Some states will just collapse because of this,i keep asking how can states like Borno and adamawa cope, Boko Haram ravaged state like Borno can't even go into agriculture as source of income let's restructuring shouldn't be about destroying our fellow country men..

SmartPolician:
This is the beginning of the end of the feeding bottle syndrome. Again, this is the time to know how smart or dull the northern and South East governors are. They must think out of the box to be able to run their states. For instance, el-Rufai is doing a great job with IGR improvement in Kaduna. Others have to take a cue from him.

After VAT, some other governor should sue for a total resource control and another should go for state police. We need to empty the so-called exclusive list. People who are not intelligent and creative shouldn't have any business with politics. The revolution has already begun.

Just imagine! How can you share vat money based on 50% equality while derivation is 20%

Population now 30% reason why the north keeps chucking out large populations after receiving 50% based on equality



The era of monkey they work, baboon dey chop is over.
They should use their population to generate vat

proeast:


Don't worry about SE, as you can see from the data, we actually receive less than what we generate as VAT. SE got the least from VAT allocations when we don't generate the least.

You won't find any SE state among the least generating states yet you will find them among the least earning states. Even Ebonyi generates more VAT than lots of other states.

SE will benefit massively once states are allowed to keep their VAT earnings.
