Is this not one of the analyses adeyinka grandson has been presenting in order to make gullible Yoruba see how the Hausa Fulani have been robbing the south especially the SS and SW. Taking large sum of money from the south to fund their unproductive and parasitic regions and to fund the luxurious lifestyles of Abuja politicians. But the yoro muslim - loyal and humble slaves of the caliphate would rather insult the hell out of him and report him to authorities. I wonder if these people are cursed. I just don't get it. Or could it be that they're just imposters disguising as Yoruba Moslems. I don't get how some people could be so daft not to listen to the voice of reason. Now that Ambode has said it, let's hear what these head slammers have to say.

It's embarrassing that till date no single govt official knows what VAT is ..VAT is nothing but a Tax borne by the last consumer of a product or service , the fact more VAT initiated in Lagos state because it's the gateway of our import Based economy doesn't mean the Tax burden is terminated in Lagos state as it can only be terminated at the point of the last consumer which can be anywhere from Lagos to Zamfara depending on how far goods imported through Lagos go ..Yes Lagos state will initiate most VATS but doesn't terminate most of it ..

TimeMod3:
Lagos VAT contributes 70% of Federal revenue, a much larger contribution than oil. Moreover, the recklessness of the SS governors makes people call for caution, although it could be argued that SS deserves much better share.

You are the ignorant one but you think you know it all. Please stop talking nonsense. What has VAT got to do with imports?

What is the meaning of initiate and terminate. VAT is the same as Sales or Consumption Tax that means it is paid by the final consumer.
The person who sleeps in the Hotel room,the person who drinks 1000 Naira tea ,the person who watches a movie at silverbird and so on.

Not everything is subject to VAT. There must be Value Added and there is comprehensive guidance. It has NOTHING to do with imported goods which are levied import duties and so on.

VAT is Tax paid mainly by LAGOS RESIDENTS.
In the states they call it Sales Tax and it is not levied by the Federal Government

Jetleeee:


You and who insulted NDeltans? I've never been against resource control. I've always been in support of the ND having 100% control of their resources. From day 1. Go through the history

There are 2 things I've never spoken against on this forum. Biafuro and ND resource control

Heck! I don't even mind if they come together to form a country. All I care about is SW

Biety:
A verry good one from Ambode.

50% is too much.
somebody who is not supporting you in your strugles cannot be sharing your profits equally with you and expect you to keep quiet.

You reject special status for lagos but want to continue sharing equally what is being generated from there. Its unfair.

This fight should not end on the pages of Newspaper. It's a legit fight that should be fought till there is changes.

erico2k2:

DOnt forget he was not talking of sales Tax rather VAT.Also they End consumer of Lagos products might not reside in Lagos every state pays same %50 Im afraid I see nothing wrong.The only situation I would find weird is if he (Ambode) is talking of all products and service that passes fru Lagos being subject to lagos state VAT contribution!

seunmsg:
Correct. It's high time Yoruba's come together and fight out the issue of VAT sharing once and for all. If oil generating States are getting 13% derivation, the same rule should also be applied to sharing of Vat and company tax. Lagos is the most marginalized state in Nigeria and this unfair treatment to the state must stop.

masseratti:
did you read what you wrote?vat has nothing to do with importation, like u said its borne by the last consumer, vat is not only on import items,its on goods and services, don't confuse Nigerians

seguno2:


Why is your trusted governor not ever ready to fix potholes on roads instead of commissioning bus stops upandan?
Maybe he is not smart. Do you agree?

maxzzo1:
so is painful nigeria should b grateful to niger deltans.

free2ryhme:


They ar enot ready to work for others to share yet they want others to work and they share

awon rag heads northerners

FTrebirth:
ambode is smarter than i had imagined him.

i just wish he could present this issue to the house and let the negotiations begin. though, i expect the northern caliphate to tremble.
E
useless parasites!

erico2k2:

Care to explain that? cos from your write up it seems, you have no clue to what VAT is.
I import say One 40 ft container of Smart phones and Smart Tvs, pay my duty at the port and load my cargo unto waiting truck straight to PHC,
I offload at my warehouse and begin to distribute as whole seller. Akpos buys 10 units of tv and 20 units of smart phones , takes it to warri to retail,He now sold one to Efe, who in turn pays N40k of which %20 is VAT.
Lets test your Brain, betw lagos, PHC and warri, where was teh VAT generated??

Jetleeee:




TFOH with your religious bullocks

Most Yorubas, irrespective of religious affiliation agree with Ambode on this one. There is nothing you and Adeyinka grandclown are saying that hasn't been said.

It's not like shi.t has changed since you've been making noise about the so called hausa parasites. All you clowns do 2-4-7 is make noise.

Everytime, Yoruba Muslim this, Yoruba Muslim that.

Na them say make you never pass WAEC?

SalamRushdie:


Mumu I have remitted more VAT than you have earned in Ur entire life so I know what VAT is , I used imported products as a guide so an idiot like you could get a quick grasp . Are you aware Traders from all over Nigeria come to buy most of their Goods from Lagos and it's at that point that the VAT is initiated and passed on and on till the last leg consumer terminates it's...I recently supplied a diesel Generator to a private hospital in Nassarawa state, I got the genrator from Bhojonson here in Lagos and initiated the VAT which I have remitted here in Lagos but passed that same VAT to the good Doctor that owned the hospital in Nassarawa state , a shallow fool like you will now say that VAT was generated by Lagos state while in truth it was actually borne by Nassarawa state ..Please I hate discussing with shallow minded people because they never understand how things work but keep arguing

TimeMod3:
Your academic analogy is very shallow. Let me help fix you;
Your information of the 40ft container was incomplete, to begin with.
How many units of Tv & Phones have you in the container altogether?

Here is it; More than half of the total units of both products STAYS in Lagos while the rest leaves for other destinations.
Whatever goods you may decide to import, as a profit- driven & sensible investor, Lagos is considered your major market, and you know why!. Need me say more.

if u don't knw abt Lagos state plz don't talk trash abt it beta u keep quiet

saints2:
Ever been to Idi-Ara when the Lagos state University Teaching Hospital is situated? Then you will know that this calls for immediate and urgent call for action. LUTH is a reputed to be one of the best in the country, but this is definitely not in terms of infrastructure given the pathetic state of the access road to the hospital. From the first gate to the second gate, it is in its deplorable state. This same road is where vehicles which are bringing in emergencies will pass through. I know some will argue that this road is still good compare to other roads in the state, but what's worth doing is worth doing well. These are visuals we are able to get courtesy of YNaija Monitor!

aribisala0:

this is where ego takes over you do not know me and will not know me let us agree that you have remitted more VAT than me.How is that relevant?
Why calling me an idiot ? Is your mother an idiot? She must be?Just like your father too? If you want to talk about VAT do so and if you want to start abusing your mother and father I am at home for you.


VAT is not a one off/ If Value is added to the same goods then additional VAT is payable When they are taken outside lagos.
The fact that VAT is paid on Juice bought in Lagos does not mean no VAT is paid when it is served cold in a hotel in Abuja.

Why is it that Abuja is at the top of VAT generating regions? Do people go there too to buy goods to distribute across Nigeria?
Those goods bought in Lagos have VAT charged on them up to that stage of processing or Value addition.


The VAT law is clear VAT is borne by tthe End user.

Foreigners come to Nigeria and pay VAT too So what ?? We don't rebate the VAT to them and it is attributable to where they purchase
