Unfortunately, i don't trust the sit down and look mumulike people we have @ National Assembly. They might approve this.

even if they do, they will need state houses from the south to also approve it.

This is getting interesting

Economic restructuring by force. It is happening. Next is political restructuring. The centre must be weak to have a true federation.

Ayo2004:
So e dey pain them like this

They should better their northern lazy counterparts to work hard and start using their brain
They don't want alcohol or betting in their states but they want to collect the income other states derive from theirs

These Northerners are illiterates and backwards.The only reason why they have rich people over there is because of their control over the national Treasury and FG

They are fools

Hehe

I READ SOMEWHERE, THAT A NORTHERN STATE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA ORDERED THE DESTRUCTION OF 200M BOTTLES OF BEER WITH THEIR LIQUID CONTENT ON ACCOUNT OF RELIGION !

But this particular state shares from the monthly proceeds of VAT ( value added tax ) accruable to the Federation Account.

It is ungodly to ban the sales of alcohol in your state and still go ahead to collect/receive vat on the sales of alcoholic drinks from other states.

This sharing formula is unfair.

Ndi oshi. Check the Constitution well,you will discover that we don't even need any new Constitution. You will be shocked to discover that the states have all Constitutional backup for resource control and restructuring many are championing without them even knowing that these laws are there

Once this VAT is finally laid to rest in favour of the state,a new Nigeria is born. No more banditry,no more terrorism because he who plays the pipe ,dictates the tune.


This will break the power of the FG over states

Useless leeches

Abokis are suddenly on red alert! Leeches!

Let every state manage his own resources! You cannot be given food on your table yet your people (herders) are on a killing spree!

Let every state mange his resources and policing structure and see if the north will not have sense!

Useless Ipob terrorists will soon jump on this thread and say rubbish as usual

Seeks Exclusive Power On VAT??

But they said that it's not FIRS that seek this decision or rather development in the first place,
So why are they looking for exclusive power on the VAT, means to punish the a comon Man on the street.

May God almighty safe us in the hand of the regim. People can't even eat 3 square meals a day and everything of These people is VAT

U see them....very fast when its important to them.....but the southerns hmmmmm

OlujobaSamuel:
Lol, they are free to go ahead if they can. If they should, then I will know that the southern governors are truly useless with the respective state houses also incapable.
This is a constitutional review, so it's beyond a case of simple majority, so let see how the fg and the north will go about it.

This Mallam, they can die because of Nigeria money. If Babatunde Fowler is still at FIRS, he can never do this. He can never be threatened because of VAT. This Mallam is just fighting for the continual exploitation of the South.

Mallam, Aboki, please, let States collect their VAT.

It was Obasanjo's Presidency that allowed States in the South to win Derivation and Onshore / Offshore dichotomy abolition battles.

Under this Aboki, the Southern Nigeria should be prepared to defend themselves. However, the Senators love dinners at Villa. The governors should be determined to fight it out.

They are fools

U dey mind them
Saudi Arabia and co are Muslims breaking Barriers in all areas but Northern Nigerians are only interested in backwardness

Imagine River State generated about 15billion in a month but was only given about 4billion while Kano generated about 2.5billion yet they retained all
Is that not daylight robbery?

This move will teach the northerners to sit up from their laziness and religous stupidity
They should better start begging bet9ja,nairabet,guiness and co. to come and set up there

If you can lay your hands on that letter, I am 100% sure it will be signed by a Southerner. They always use very useless Southerners to achieve their demonic purposes

Restructuring is about to commence

Can house of assembly temp the power of any state? Abi dis people daft ni

It's getting to the climax. Now we'll know how much the south will be sold to the Fulani through federal lawmakers from our part of this land.

They want to make the tether (or bondage, if you like) more unitary.

An ex governor from the SE voted NO to electronic transmission of election results citing that his constituency lacks power and network coverage. This is the same place he built his country home. So he went on national TV and Assembly to disgrace himself.

What do you think such L unatic will vote on when the time comes?

Are they benefiting from VAT from beer and alcholic drinks in the south even though the states have Sharia

what if the parties are dictating what and what to say or what to vote?

fior the tinubu senators at the floor, he might tell them to maintain one nigeria by voting in favour of the amendment of the bill

The Revolt will be massive if this request is granted.

Wike and his likes will sponsor a very strong opposition should FG attempt to give-in to this desperate move to continue robbing Peter to pay Paul.

The North really has no shame!

Na lie now

Una wan divide country?

Lol

Firs will soon become useless.

The implications of the River state law is that if the law is allowed to passed .Lot of staffs in firs will be jobless because lot of states will copy the river state law, also the commission will only have jurisdiction in the FCT which is bad for revenue generation.

That's not correct.
There are other taxes and levies accrued to the federation.

This is just VAT and Income tax.
So many other taxables still goes to the federal revenue service

A drowning man will clutch to anything.

The question is whether the reeds he's latching to will save him.

Yes, only via CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW...the constitution is sovereign.

This is going to bring blood to Nigeria. The Fulani positioned themselves in all the Northern states and are now using that scuttle every good thing sought by other Nigerians. Nigeria has many hurdles to overcome in her journey to nationhood.

Arrant waste of time and gross abuse of Court process. It is grossly disrespectful to Court to have written to NASS on a matter already before the Court. Nigeria purports to be a Federation and should be run as a Federation.

PrinceOfLagos:
The northerners won't give up so easily

Parasites

What about their gold,why aint they sharing that amongst the south

The locals won't take up so easily worms

The cheating is too much.

I observed something about the Internally Generated Revenue compared to Federal Allocation report, but I kept quiet, because it is political.

They should allow States to collect their VAT. That is how it is done in the US and other places. When the VAT is collected by States, their secret would be exposed.
