VAT should be shared between the FG and the states!

Lagos was made what it is today by FG investments in Lagos!
I can even understand Rivers, because it has oil. Lagos had NOTHING if not for FG investments in the state that made it a commercial hub. Now, LASG wants to pretend as if they are the brains behind the current status of the state as a commercial or economic hub.
Revenue from other parts of the country (especially oil money) was used to develop Lagos. In the same vein, some of the revenue from Lagos (after it had been developed by the FG into a commercial hub generating huge revenue and VAT) will be used to develop other places. until when every other state is developed to a level

People should stop the crass ignorance, hypocrisy and selfish thoughts!
The VAT should be shared between FG and states. For instance, how could Lagos claim ownership of VAT from operations (e.g. import duty) at the seaports and airports that were constructed 100% by FG?
How many major roads in Lagos were constructed and are being maintained by the state government?

BLAISECAMPAORE:


Eye opener indeed.

Interestingly also, without Lagos revenue (contributed by Nigerians from all regions), South-West IGR would be just N142 billion putting it 4th below the North West, North Central and South-South.


It's same everywhere : Remove Abuja (All region), Kano (All region) you have same statistical effects.

You're so daft boy

We no beg Dangote to do business in Lagos state, there was a time unity bank relocated their HQ to Abuja, no one in Lagos gave a dam about it.

Lagos is in the South West, you can kill yourself if you're not happy with it.

Your wailings starts and end on Nairaland.

The SE dey drag position with the NE

Shame no even catch your useless sef

You guys in the South East are also a parasite. Without the FG, Igbo states will be in the league of Niger Republic and Chad

Naijabad:


If this is true, why not allow them leave Nigeria?
You guys have no brain. If Igbos leave Nigeria, the revenue you post in SW will drop significantly.

Go and figure this out.

Biafman:

CAN YOU PLEASE SUPPORT THE DIVISION OF YOUR CONTRAPTION CALLED NIGERIA AND THE CREATION OF BIAFRA SO WE WILL STOP BEING PARASITES TO YOU? IMAGINE ALL THE IGR YOU WILL KEEP FOR YOURSELVES ALONE?

You dull hypocrite, you remove Lagos from South West, but leave Abuja for North Central

Lagos is in the South West, so find another mumu talk, talk.

Without Lagos, let's compare the 5 South West states to that of the South East.

You guys keep celebrating IGR on paper


Serious I don’t understand the dumb logic over bloated IGR, please how does internal generated revenue in your state contribute to my state, FIRS tax Nigerians doing businesses in your domain not by tribe, trade is second highest contributor to Nigeria gdp, and we know Igbos are leading in that sector in Nigeria.

stanluiz:
Nonsense!!

IGR IGR yet you can't build roads. You can't pay salaries. Where is the IGr going to ? The IGr of a thing is a media paper propaganda.

The people of ogun state are crying that they don't have roads. All the roads in the state are death traps. Where is the IGR ?

Propaganda will not take you guys anywhere!

The worse thing that has happened to Nigeria is that all the different tribes have not realized that they have all failed.

LZAA:


You know the truth
Stop crying
SE practically run lagos
Abi na the agbo or owambe una dey do dey raise IGR

Newton85:
Even if they are celebrating IGR on paper, your region is still not attractive to non-Eboes na? I mean, even as I'm writing this, thousands of your people are trooping out of Eboeland to the South West like homeless refugees.

PROUDIGBO:


You’re really pathetic! That’s all what this thread is about.....comparing your sad self to Igbos! You gauge your progress in life by how well you think you’re doing against a people you have cheated, marginalised, stolen their hydrocarbon-rich territories and ganged-up to deny presidency....yet you still feel you’re ok!?

Gabkosh:
How much is abia owing her workers?

Coldie:

5states alone despite the marginalisation generating such money compared to other regions with 6 or 7 states?

South east try abeg

Dis okoro savage don come here again to dey cry...

See your region

YorubarLord:
Yet you rush to the Yoruba slums like the economic refugees y'all re. Keep wailing

Moferere:
Obviously, this is why a section of Nigeria is against restructuring.

I salute Wike for his courage

Newton85:
Sorry, which marginalization? Who's marginalizing you?

bayelsaowei:
either way I know bayelsa isn't doing well to grow its IGR in the best way..apart from oil companies within that state what else can bayelsa be proud of as related to aggressive revenue generation. Like I said Bayelsa can push to run state OMLs , build refineries, engage in non oil activities etc...

Summary is states can do well to compete with Lagos no matter what..why can't the niger delta states be safe enough to drag all headquarters of oil companies to the various states.??

winterfell007:

Guy you're embarrassing me seriously. You making it look like igbo people are silly and hateful. That guy you're quoting is right. More than 50% of IGR of Lagos comes from PAYE. Even LASG deducts salary from my payslip. Instead of you to fight the real enemies up north, you are facing yourself. How dumb can you guys be??
