I love this bill. You can not take allocations from beer or Pork meat if you don’t want it in your your state. But then again if this bill came under GEJ a Christian,your guess is as good as mine as violence will erupt in the North. 22 Likes |

Nigeria tax system is unfair. Let assume we have two state. A and B. State A. Have sane population who are productive. Because of their level of education they have 2 or 3 kids and while a hand full of the population refuses to settle down because of fear of the unknown and as they live on budget. They pay tax and contribute immensely to the development of the country with a monthly IGR of 100 billions and their total population is 10 million. Majority of this money is used to subsidize electricity and petroleum product for the general public. While state B. Is the opposite of state A. they have a total population of 60 million, majority are in adject poverty. They contribute 5 billion to the country monthly IGR. They benefits from the electricity and petroleum subsidy. They also benefits more for the civil and public employment ratio. Now the country is left with 30 billions after other expense and need to be shared back to the state for projects and development. State B need the lion share because of her population. Does that make any sense to you? It only means people from state A which chose not to have more kids in other to control their budget are now funding the kids of state B which choose to have dozens. This unbalanced sharing formula can kill productivity and creativity 44 Likes 1 Share |

JAOS: The truth is Nigerians don't know how to punish lawmakers or any politician who deviates from their mandate. So saying that their opposition to the bill will DEFINITELY result in a wave of recall is just wishful thinking at this point. It's unfortunate that Nigerians are not willing to punish politicians. Hence the godfatherism and thuggery that have plagued our politics. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Beyond the pains that T-Pain is dishing to Nigerians, he is actually making some key reforms that will project the country on the path of growth. A Nigeria with mentality of the northerners will turn the country to the likes of Somali, Sudan, Afghanistan etc. Wait! Why are my even surprised? All the aforementioned countries are all propelled by the same force of the Arabs agenda to their slaves. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Mm... It seems Northern governors are against the bill because it would mean a lower share in VAT revenue, especially in the economically inactive states. Arewa Civil Society on the other hand are for the bill, but it seems their motive for supporting the bill is the potential of social reforms that some Northern states will have to do in order to generate revenue and welcome investments. Like sharia states will be forced to be reevaluate their stances on Alcohol and pork, or the entertainment industries, or the value and standard of western education... potentially. Either allow it and tax it, or stay puritanical and suffer. At least this is my understanding of the article. 1 Like |

The new formulae is one that puts more money back into the hands of whoever generates more money. Such a formulae is needed to kickstart the much needed production thats lacking and making the Naira tumble forever. By rejecting this obviously fair and productive sharing of VAT in favour of the old order, they have demonstrated they have no plans to boost local productivity. They are okay with the north versus south resource grabbing battle that has halted the growth of the country from the roots. A state like Lagos and Ogun will have less and less motivation to grow value-addition and the supporting atmosphere it needs. 2 Likes |

IMAliyu:The issue with the reality i bold up here is that for ages, these people have played the poverty and underdevelopment card to just flow of resources unto their regions but at the slighest chance, use the resources at their disposal for useless and unproductive things. Hajj, employment based on connection and not competence or value. Wasteful and inflated projects. 90% of projects they end up doing are useless. Save for short roads and water rèlated or lighting related projects, the vast majority of what they do is uselesss. These are just few of the useless things they engage in. They understand fully well that production is desirable but need to be sure the source of the current easy money is well exhausted. All out of hatred and bitter politics. |

President Tinubu's bold moves: Fuel & Forex subsidy gone, LGA autonomy in the pipeline much to the chagrin of the emperor-ish Governors, tax reform bill next; clear signs he's prioritizing Nigeria's progress over re-election threats. He's tackling Nigeria's structural flaws head-on, re-election threats notwithstanding. Let's be honest, what we want is definitely different from what we need: people's president or the brave president? Baba's got his eyes on the prize - a better Nigeria. No sentiments, just action! We need tough and thoughtful laws to push state govts and LGs to work hard and smart to attain self reliance. You can't be lazying around and using outrageous recurrent expenditures to feed fat on the hard work put together by some others. That Tax Reform Bill is in order. 4 Likes 1 Share |
