Take jigawa state for example the state has no IGR but receives large sum from FAAC every month... the state has no policy to make business conducive for non indigenous persons....

As long as you are not a Christian they want you to leave like a slave in the state, so if the VAT can be stopped the government will try to make it convenient because we have businesses here and we are not valued

The only reason why we dont engage in online insults, inmorality and propaganda is because North knows governance, systems, policies and principles of tolerance and respect....

Stop deceiving yourselves because of your large shamefull numbers online insulting north and Islam.....


Nigeria is not an online nation!

Ibkhaleel:
When the North decides to act...it will be a sorry for the south

The North is the only region in Nigeria that practically have everything, yet its people suffer the most, because bof their patience and faith! They have allowed southerners every opportunity to dominate!

The North is the single largest supplier of raw materials in all Nigerian industries, from food through agriculture and cloths to shelter through cements and other building materials available in the Northern rocks, including iron ores and ceramics.
The North have Gold, Diamond, Tin, copper, gypsum, coal, magnesium, etc and even uranium all over the area.

A liter of groundnut/cotton oil is more expensive than a liter of oil, and it has long industrial chain value , from pharmaceuticals, detergents etc.

The cows that some few people condemn is over 20M in number in Nigeria, when properly harnessed and utilize, if a quarter of this number can produce a liter of milk a day, it means the North will have 5M liters of milk per day, each liter is N350, much more that a liter of fuel.

This notwithstanding the endless value chain of milk processing in different industries. A cow, from its feeds to all parts of its body including its dungs is a source of value, thus a cow is a wealth in all ramifications. All we need is to harness its value.

The north have river Niger, connecting all the way from Guinea mountains to, over Kebbi, Niger, Kogi and Deltas as it approaches the Ocean where it’s called the Niger-Delta. The North can still reach the ocean through Borgu to Benin republic down to Atlantic Ocean.

More students from the North studied in the Benin universities than the indigenes of Benin and more Northern traders travel to Cotonou than any other Nigerians, hence a trade pact will be easy for the North.
The North can dredge the River Niger through Benin and connect to the Atlantic Ocean or create a super highway through Niger Republic to Guinea down to Atlantic Ocean, thus the North have more ways to access the ocean than all other regions in Nigeria.

The North controls the flow of the river Niger. If the North chose to erect a barricade for the flow of river Niger to the east, all the rivers like Imo river, Onisha river, rivers in the delta with drinkable water and fresh fish will cease and the water flow will dry up.

The North have all the major forests in Nigeria, From Borgu Forests, to Felgore Forest, to Yankari Forest to Gashaka Forest to Sambisa Forest down, which have the longest stretch to Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya through central Africa. Thus the North have it all.


The North have rivers in almost all the states, from Dadin Kowa to Tiga, from Numan River to Yobe river from River Taraba to River Kaduna, all these makes a navigable and irrigatable river lines that can sustain agricultural activities through all seasons.

Out of the 78 million hectares of crop land in Nigeria, the North have 71 million, thus all food/cash crops can be produced from the North.

The North have global natural allies, from Middle East & Israel, including the United States and Britain, in addition to China and Russia.

I don’t know what the so-called secessionist guys are playing at, their hatred towards the Fulanis and everything North can be their greatest undoing once we pull out of the Union called Nigeria.



So much energy is been wasted by the people of the North trying to make one Nigeria instead of thinking inward and start building its own institutions, industries, media, financial services, professionals etc. If the North chose to do this, the South will suffer most.

Now I tell you this, in the North, after every other reasonable analysis, 90% of the present problems of the North will fizzle away once the North becomes an independent unit.

No single person from the North is afraid of break up of Nigeria. None whatsoever.

And I am not sure too many Northerners are happy with the union either. But as general believers in patience, understanding that in the long run, thing may turn out well in spirit of solidarity with majority true Nigerians within the South, the North chose to stay in the Union.

Trust me, if, perhaps we have constitutional provisions for referendum, any region, especially Biafra, if they chose Nnamdi Kanu @MaziNnamdiKanu than a union of Nigeria, the North will most emphatically welcome the outcome. With a huge relief.

The North have its source of Energy, both artificial and natural through dams, coal, solar, winds and even nuclear, including oil and gas deposits in Gongola Basin, sokoto basin, Lake Chad Basin, Benue, Kogi and Niger States, the North have its source of food, lands for housing.

The North have its own educational system, healthcare systems, political systems, its foreign policy with natural allies etc, all its need is proper economic system away from the cheap and very scarce, poverty inducing oil.

The North have never served as slaves because it has been independent. Thus the north cannot start from the beginning nor the North to ever tolerate some war lord parading as messiahs, because the North knows governance, systems, policies and principles of tolerance and respect.

The North may choose to remain Nigerian, in the meantime! In the meantime!!

So you have the gut to quote me?

Useless bigot

There's no parasite in this country only if you remove your bigotry glasses...

Oil is less than 10% of  Nigeria's GDP. They tell us we are the parasite and we are lazy and we are uneducated to instil a sense of guilt, self hate and inadequacy in us. We swallow all these falsehood uncritcally because we made our source of daily information their media and books. They over concentrate on our weaknesses and ignore almost completely their own weaknesses. An average Southerner having mild cold will almost by default blame it on Northerners and will not lack northerners who "speak the truth" to agree with him.


How can uneducated people have multitude of unemployed graduates? How can lazy people be producig the food of the nation? Why do millions of Southerners troop to the poor parasitic North and refuse leave?

The north will rather die than agree because this move is part of the moves that will nullify the excess children and almajiri they have stubbornly continued to produce in order to give Islam majority. So how can the south now put the burden of feeding their almajiri on their own head only? Day don break finally, the south must use all and every means no going back

Hehehehehe..It is now clear that Nigeria is polarized into Northern and Southern Nigeria..

olympianares:
Your brain cells are dead.. Just to look relevant on Social media,take a look at what your dead brain could cook up...Are they talking of production or Revenue Generation..How do you sleep?

What do the want to VAT? I don't want argue with death brain, these people does nothing like their counterpart.

BluntCrazeMan:
Hehehehehe..
It is now clear that Nigeria is divided into Northern and Southern Nigeria..

Not divided. But BACK to the normal two countries of Southern and Northern Nigeria before Mr lord lugard misfired with his almagamation.

The north just want to gulp on everything they no that money is cuming out from.

Their opinions do not count

ThankUJesus:
Lagos state does not produce anything aside Egbero, Rivers does not produce anything aside Cultist, they want to collect VAT from imported goods, turn your State to production state and collect your VAT, but wait for federal government to import and go back door to collect VAT is RUBISH, Lagos should VAT Egbero and Rivers their own CULTIST

VAT your bokoharam and bandits in peace and let others be.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!!!! FROM MALAMI..... QUOTA SYSTEM SAN... AT HIS HEIGHT AND POSITION does not know whether VAT is on exclusive , concurrent or residual LIST... NA WHAOO

Northern state should not be afraid of vat. Rather it will help them in realizing thier potential since they claim to be the real Nigerians with the largest state... You no want contribute your share but you chop other people's hardwork. In the name of one Nigeria.

Ibkhaleel:
Only Northerners truly believe Nigeria is one. The facts speak for themselves:
Go to Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria,Kadpoly Kaduna, Bayero University, Kano, University of Maiduguri, Federal University Dutsinma, Katsina, and other Federal and state government higher institutions in the North, you will see Yorubas, Igbos, and other tribes from the South and East as Deans of Faculties, HODs of Departments, Registrars, DVCs, Exams Officers, etc. And thousands of Southerners are studying there as students in different Departments.
But try and visit University of Nigeria Nsuka, and University of Ibadan and other Universities in either the South or the East. You will never see Hausas or Fulani as staff or student there in. In fact, you have to hide to pray in those mentioned places. We employ them and give admissions to their children, but they reject us in total. Indeed, Only the Northerners consider Nigeria as one.
In fact, I know many Senators and House of Reps here in the North, especially in Kano state who share Federal and state government appointments with Igbos and Yorubas living in their constituencies. Only northerners consider Nigeria as one.
You hardly see a Local Government in the North without a Church. You have the right to build your worship centres anywhere in the North. We give you land to build your houses and Churches. You observe your religion without any molestation. You dress the way you want. We buy from you, and we sell to you, this happen only in the North.
In return, what we get from them is genocide, molestation, and total rejection. We accommodate them here in the north, they pusue us out of their regions.

Southern & Northern Nigeria is ok for all. No need for unity begging !

Chigold101:
They should support the move for states to collect VATs.
Then they should propose that every state should control their mineral resources.
I believe this will help each state in Nigeria to develop with amazing speed, because it will produce healthy competition.

Because then the governors who were not thinking before now will start using their brain

You're right. But what would they do before they start generating money from their mineral resources?
Or you don't expect, they'll propose, mine and start selling their resources all in one day. It will take years before the start seeing their ROI.. So how will they survive before then?

FACT!!!
How Herdsmen Paid To Educate Southern Nigeria.
By 1943, one of the highest revenue generator for the federation account was livestock tax.
Northern region generated £120,000
Eastern region generated £2,000
Western region generated £50
Lagos colony generated 0
The expenditure on education was as follows:
Northern region £2,341
Eastern region £47,000
Western region £34,000
Lagos colony £17,000
What this meant was that it was cow money from the north that colonialists use to send majority of Nigerians from Southern region to school at that time.
If you have no knowledge of Adams Smith rhetorics on "THE WEALTH OF THE NATION", then don't join the debate on VAT.

The problem with you guys is deceit and taqqiya...

The north was ever richer than the south....see below.

The British treasury initially supported the landlocked Northern Nigeria Protectorate with grants, totalling £250,000 or more each year.[75] Its revenue quickly increased, from £4,424 in 1901 to £274,989 in 1910. The Southern Protectorate financed itself from the outset, with revenue increasing from £361,815 to £1,933,235 over the same period.[76] (Wiki)

We can all see how it is politically with Nigeria, with southern and northern governors having different meetings and different opinions on how their regions must be administered. Is it not clear to us all that “one Nigeria” is becoming an illusion?

The judgement of the court is supposed to favour the states and kickstart economic growth, but some northern state governors who believe that money to run their states must only come from the center, will work hard to block it. Unfortunately our northern brethren cry more of poverty.

How can we have a minister of justice who seems to possess a different consitution from what others have? Is he afraid to confront other lawyers in court and have the matter thrashed once and for all? Or is he trying to leverage on the so called northern population advantage to keep southern states from moving forward?

Let’s wait and hear from the northern governors today after their meeting.

You have all these since 1914 amalgamation. More than 100 years and you have not done anything with them, but depend on the south.

What are you waiting for?

Please spare us this long sermon.

You could develop beef for export and others...but due to your intolerance (sharia), nepotism,and irritating born to rule attitude, you have used up all the good well of other Nigerians. And people are calling for restructuring, exit, VAT and resource control as well as state police, where you send northern police officers to head other region, they no nothing of the terrain.

If there were equity, justice and fairness to all Nigerians, these issues will not arise.

Northern govs know the truth and this evil government has bribed them but you can't kill the truth.

You are very wrong. The first work of he is even international matters. He is the one to defend Nigerian in case of any international case. Secondly, to make legal documents for the federal government in case of purchase and other agreements. he is in no way to work for the executive as he is doing, but to be a guru who is to settle any case as the one at hand now looking directly and strictly into the constitution of Nigeria without even 0.01 twist of it. But his work right now has been limited to attorney general of the executive.

The problem with southerners is that they are brainwashed and programmed into accepting the new word into their dictionary and applying it to every Northerner...

The problem is if you ask most of them the meaning of quota system, they don't even know it. They are just saying it because that is one of the things they were made to believe.

They're the victims of what Chimamanda Adichie called "Single Story" They're fed up with the story of negatives.


Ndi Every Northerner Is A Product Of Quota System, Chew On This ...

Do You Remember the Pacesetter, SARKI ABBA from KANO State

In the cold hamattan of 1984, a Kano Indigene from SCIENCE Secondary School Dawakin Tofa did the unthinkable!!!

He scored 9 distinctions (8 A1 and 1 A2) in his West African Senior School Certificate (WASC) Exams. This achievement seemed unrealistic and never happened that the authorities at Lagos assumed it was a cheat.

In order to prove their assumptions right, a car was sent to pick up 16yr old Sarki Abba straight from Dawakin TOFA where he was made to retake the whole 9 exams in the duration of 3 days.

After marking the rescheduled exams, he scored 9 A1 (the only 'A2' he had in English Language before the retake, became 'A1' resulted to 9 A1)

Faced with shock, the Lagos authorities saved face by apologizing and instituting the National Merit Award making Sarki Abba its first recipient.

In 1989/90 school session, also at 21, Sarki Abba graduated as OVERALL BEST Medical Student, OVERALL BEST Graduating Student at ABU, Zaria. Sarki was then invited to U.S.A where he continued his studies, work and lives there since then.

Sarki Abba is presently a Professor of Urology and Pathology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, USA. Also, MD, PhD, at the John T. Grayhack Professor of Urological Research.

Prof. Sarki Abba's research program is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive cancer initiation, progression and recurrence with the ultimate goal of developing therapies that interfere with these processes. His work has particularly focused on Prostate Cancer.
