The fact remains that the south is subsidizing the north.

Kemi Adeosun, minister for finance, says more than half of Nigeria’s value added tax (VAT) comes from Lagos state alone.

Speaking at the parley between the federal government and progressive governors forum (PGF) in Abuja on Tuesday, Adeosun said the 87 percent of Nigeria’s VAT is derived from four states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In other words, only 13 percent of Nigeria’s VAT comes from 32 other states in the federation.

According to her no country in the world with high tax compliance rate is poor, and no rich country has a low tax compliance rate.

“There is no poor country that has a high tax compliance rate, and no rich country that has a low one,” Adeosun said.


Quoting current VAT collection data across Nigeria, the minister said “55% of Nigeria’s VAT is collected in Lagos State. 20% in FCT, 6% in Rivers, 5% in Kano, 1% in Kaduna”.

“I’m hoping that one day Finance Commissioners will stop needing to come to Abuja monthly to share FAAC, because IGR (internally generated revenue) will be sufficient.”

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, on Friday justified the arrest of only suspects of Yoruba extraction over the recent clash in Ile-Ife, Osun State, which resulted in the death of about 46 persons. He said crime neither has tribe nor identity.

Idris spoke with State House correspondents shortly after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari of security situations in parts of the country inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The police had been in the eye of the storm for arresting and parading 20 Yoruba persons, including a monarch, over the clash while not a single Hausa/Fulani person was detained.

The pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere; and the Oodua Peoples Congress are among groups and individuals that have been criticising the police over the development.

Idris however said the police would not hesitate to apply the law once criminal cases are established against individuals, irrespective of their tribe.

He said, “You know we are police officers. Crime has no tribe. If you are a criminal, you are a criminal.

“Crime has no face. We don’t look at crime in the identity of where you are coming from.

“As far as you are a criminal and the police find you wanting, we apply the law.”

He said investigation had revealed that the crisis started with a disagreement between two people selling food along the road.

Collapse of Soviet Union

1. Collapse of Communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe (1989)
2. Détente: Cooperation between Superpowers - During the Cold War President Nixon and Brezhnez conducted SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) conferences and signed a treaty limiting the number of missiles each country can have.

3. USSR and Afghanistan Cooperation/Détente Ends • 1979-1988 • USSR backed the Afghan government; the US backed the Mujahedeen rebels • US boycotted the 1980 Olympics in Moscow • 14,000 Soviet dead; 1+million Afghans –Over 5 million Afghans fled (more than 1/3 of the population) –10-15 million land mines still in Afghanistan –Soviets withdrawal defeated
4. - Soviet economic collapse - Nationalism in Warsaw Pact countries - Tearing down of Berlin Wall - Breakup of the Soviet Union Collapse of Communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe

5. Nationalism in Warsaw Pact Countries 1. Gorbachev’s pullout from Afghanistan and his policy of Non-Intervention gave rise and momentum to Warsaw Pact nationalism movements. 2. Soviet/Warsaw Pact countries resented Soviet control and wanted to direct their own governments.
6. Tearing Down the Berlin Wall 1. East Germany elected a more moderate Communist government, but many not satisfied; allowed people to leave East Germany 2. November 9, 1989 – the Brandenburg Gate opened and people began tearing down the wall 3. Tearing down Berlin Wall symbolized and helped lead to fall of Communism in Eastern Europe; East Germany & Czechoslovakia 4. Gorbachev and President Reagan given credit for being most responsible for the end of the Cold War

7. Ronald Reagan: U.S. President 1980-88 “Tear down this wall”
8. Brandenburg Gate Fall of the wall news broadcast
9. Soviet Economic Collapse 1. Over-spending on arms race weakened government & economy 2.Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev tried to reform the USSR economy in two plans a. perestroika – restructuring of the Soviet political and economic system - Weakened Russian economy in short-term b.glasnost – “Openness” freed public access to information after decades of heavy government censorship 3. Gorbachev encouraged reform in other 15 Soviet Socialist Republics: new countries 4. Hard-line communists attempted a coup against Gorbachev – failed 5. U.S.S.R. crumbles; Gorbachev = the last leader of the USSR 6.Boris Yeltsin, with support of many who wanted continued reforms, becomes President of Russia Mikhail Gorbachev U.S.S.R. Boris Yeltsin Russia

10. Break Up of Soviet Union 1. Soviet Republics, one-by-one, broke away from Moscow and declared independence. 2. 1989-90: The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R) was dead.

He makes a very valid point but failed to extend it to themselves

Is it fair to use the taxpayers money to fund the lavish lifestyle of the President?

Is it fair to pay senators and reps such wages from taxpayers money?

Is it fair to use the presidential jet for your aides wedding funded by taxpayers money?

Is it fair to spend over 3 months in London for treatment with the jet on standby at taxpayers expense?

Is it fair to sink billions of taxpayers money searching for oil in the north?

Only when you have curbed the excesses of the president and political office holders can you push the burden on the people!!!!

This can not be correct, according to the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA) The salary of President, VP, Governors and Deputy Governors are exempted from tax.

Jonathan amended the law in 2012, which is the proper thing- everyone has to pay taxes.


President, governors now liable to pay tax on personal income
May 11, 2012

The provisions of the new Personal Income Tax (Amendment) Act now make it compulsory for the personal incomes of all categories of workers, including the President, governors and their deputies as well as ministers and other top political office holders to be liable to taxation.

The new law signed into law by President Goodluck Jonathan last June also reviewed income exempted from tax to include bonds issued by government and corporate entities.

“With the review of income exempted from tax, the President, Vice president, governors and deputy governors of state and other categories of political office holders will now pay tax on all their income as is done by every other taxpayer,” Chairman, Joint Tax Board, Ifueko Omoigui Okauru, said at a media briefing to formally unveil the new Act in Abuja.

Mrs Omoigui -Okauru, who doubles as the executive chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), said the amendments were coming more than 19 years after a similar exercise was carried out on the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA) in 1993, pointing out that under the new law, it is obligatory for all political office holders hitherto exempted from taxes on their incomes to pay.

How can anyone in his right sense attribute a substantial amount of revenue receipt from herdsman when we know clearly that the companies/ corporate organization and private individuals are the major contributors to tax revenue in the country. Who live in urban settlement and mostly power their economic activities on generators. What a shame! This govt is all about incompetence.

Does this fool knows commercial farming isn't possible without provision for logistical resources? Your herders need to move their livestocks too at some point. The farmers needs vehicles to convey their crops to the cities.
Everyone is affected except for you greedy politicians.

Don't mind the ugly fool..defending nonsense. They have made up their mind to keep impoverishing the masses so that they can keep doling out 1k to them when they need their vote after 4 years. ...
Nothing lasts forever and God controls everything...Buhari has the mind to increase fuel prices but he doesn't have the mind to create a workable palliative to cushion the effect of this surreptitious increase on the masses. .what a wicked and mean leader!
