All the tax they collected all these years, what did they do with it? So far as I am concerned, Nysom Wike is working more than Buhari, so they should pay the tax to Rivers state government. After all, Imo State and Abia state government are not doing anything with the money they give them all these years. Every state should learn to generate revenue and stop depending on other states.

Zooposki: Wike is not just ignoring them, he is upholding a Law Court Ruling.. There is a subsisting Court Ruling saying that Rivers can collect VAT, so what is the nonsense that the FIRS is saying? Until there is another Court Ruling which invalidates that Ruling and Supersedes it, everyone in Port Harcourt and other States (by extension) should pay their VAT to their respective State. The Citizens are not the Judge, their only Duty is to pay Tax to whoever is APPROVED by the LAW Court. Imagine, VAT on Beer Collected in Rivers will be given to Sokoto State or Zamfara who practice SHARIA and keep destroying the same Beer! What kind of exploitation of Southern States is that? These Northerners just wont stop being a Parasite on the South 26 Likes |

[quote author=perambulator post=105560999]They cant win. Federal VAT is unconstitutional. In fact many federal Government levies are unconstitutional (Witholding tax, education levy etc etc). This is the problem they created for themselves when they copied the American constitution. There is no VAT in America, only state sales taxes which are determined and collected by states. If Wike wins this (and he should because the law is clear), this is a game changer bigger than the way Fashola changed the narrative for Gorvernors and performance.[/quote It is about time to let people of northern Nigeria know that the people in southern Nigeria are well traveled and well educated by now. They should begin to look for money from other sources open to government taxation. Otherwise, many of those unviable state need to fold up and become appendages to a viable southern states. Islamic clerics has no place holding government positions. Thanks to wike, governor of river state. 7 Likes |

[quote author=Ellasure post=105561408][/quote] Whatever happens, Wike is a F**king Hero, It's amazing how all this time, all the Lawyers never bothered to check if the fed govt even have the legal backing to set the rate and collect VAT and all the other illegal taxes. I'm telling you with this nobody will bother with Abuja anymore. The money from Oil they are sharing is peanuts in a $500b economy, States will start to make progress!!! Think about all the VAT collected, the illegal witholding taxes, collected on state govt contracts, illegal education taxes etc Now we are entering true Federalism and competition because each state can set it's own VAT level as incentive to attract business and people. For instance, States with sea ports can set lower VAT to attract traffic away from lagos to their ports, which is good for lagos because Lagos will be less congested. Wike is a f**king Hero 22 Likes 1 Share |

They always make a southerner the spokesperson of all the organisations or agencies under their firm control. NNPC,CBN,NPA,NIMASA,FIRS,ARMY,POLICE,DSS etc all have a southerner as spokesperson. This is a case of house nigger. Mickiebrownkie: 17 Likes 1 Share |

aguiyi2: Before you start pitying corporate bodies in Rivers the Lagos state house of assembly is on the second reading to enact a state VAT law...incase you don't know, Tinubu's rapid health improvement started since the federal high court in Port Harcourt ruled in favour of the states collecting VAT...he is about to become a trillionaire. I wonder what Ogun state government is waiting for ...they are another state that will benefit massively from the VAT ruling ...the man in Abeokuta seem to be still sleeping. 17 Likes |

Terrence99:Word I really pity the north. Their leaders said they were educationally disadvantaged and introduced the quota system and federal character. They didn't know they were busy discouraging hardwork, industriousness and entrepreneurship from among their populace while the south was doing the complete reverse. They thought it was a show of power and lordship over the south. The smelly food they were busy cooking is almost done...they must eat it 19 Likes |

perambulator: Actually, it was a relatively unknown private law firm in Port Harcourt, Ukala & Co. that first took FIRS to court over the VAT issue when FIRS slammed huge VAT liabilities on them. When they won the case sometimes around June this year, that was when Wike saw that he could ride on the Ukala judgement to challenge FIRS statewide. So while Wike can still be considered a hero, he had some precedence to help him out here. The private firm is the bigger hero for starting the chain of events! 21 Likes 1 Share |

SweetiliciousD: But the same Supreme Court gave Bayelsa to PDP. You didn't mention that. Lagos has previously taken this matter to the State High Court and Court of Appeal, only for the SC to upturn it because it wasn't decided at the Federal High Court. Now, Rivers has taken it to the Federal High Court and the entire North is in disarray. 6 Likes |

SweetiliciousD: There is absolutely NOTHING Buhari can do about this. I just checked the Exclusive and Concurrent lists in the Constitution and there's no way the FIRS can escape this. VAT was introduced in 1993, it wasn't always with us. Once it concerns legal matters, the North always loses out. That is why you see Buhari running to the South to pick lawyers for his election petition. 4 Likes |

What's unfortunate is seeing brilliant young minds (the very few of them though) answerable to very mediocre bosses. Nothing kills motivation/drive like that. 3 Likes |
