NinjaMetahuman:
Those figures were from 2016 when Kemi adeosun was minister.

Its actually a possibility if you consider that Kano has very huge population hence enough money to be derived on vat.

But Wike was talking about every tax fg was getting from rivers, not value added tax.

Anything to distract folks from his non payment of pensions & salaries.

Mitsurugi:
I want to know the legal abracadabra the court will pull on this matter because the constitution clearly supports the States. The FIRS already shot itself by writing to the National Assembly for urgent constitutional amendment, so why are they appealing

RapistOnBail:

Please southerners,

On behalf of Northern Christians and Teenage almajiris of the north (TAN)

We beg you guys to tamper justice with mercy.

Let’s be our brothers keepers here.

You guys want us from the north to continue chopping grass for dinner and breakfast?

Haba, have mercy please!

Teenaira:


This VAT issue is not a Wike or Sanwo eko personality. This country is dying, don't mind those who are saying the country is already dead, but we must get all the constituent institution to know the party is over. We are dying in the mist of plenty. Let everybody go and develop their area. It will be tough initially because almost all states will not be able to pay salaries or any recurrent spends. If every state adds a little more IGR, it means the country has grown it's revenue invariably.
I know Nigerians can do it but they always wait for directions from the federal government and the federal government is encouraging indolence. If it is possible, they will borrow from the dead to satisfy their urge for recurrent spends or white elephant capital spends. That is our delima.

RolexOfGeneva:

You need a brain checkup. Comparing Kano to Rivers.

BafanaBafana:
So how will Benue survive? The have the land for agricultural but no unity and leadership.
Core northern states will be fine, very fine. They have enough land to go into agriculture on large scale.
South East will become a living hell as traders will be taxed mercilessly. They too are parasites.

You are here this morning again after your infamous Northern prowess history compiled under depression caused by VAT collection by States battle.

It is not about the record released by FIRS or any agency of the FG, but it is about the fundamental principle of Federalism that was handed to us at independence. Most records released by FG agencies on critical sector of the nation is political. Very political.

I remembered the Statistics released on vehicular traffic on some major roads in Nigeria. The Lagos -Ibadan expressway and 3rd Mainland Bridge exposed them when some roads were given higher traffic.

It is not how much VAT was declared or stated in the report but the potentials to be released to States to think strategically to generate more ideas and revenue for development.

The Military era is gone where the Kaduna Mafia controlled development indices and determined resources distribution . It was the collapse of the Kaduna Mafia control that made you to give a very derogatory comments on Obasanjo's Presidency yesterday as sent by your masters. You forgot Kano Airport and few other Airports were ghost cities as at 1999. We have spent two days at Kano just because of lack of flight to Lagos having bought tickets. The following day, towards evening, it was a tug of war entering the plane that came. People rushed to enter the plane (Nigeria Airways) irrespective of Airlines tickets (Kabo, IRS,etc) they bought. At the end we were packed like sardines to Lagos. It happened severally.

I think, somebody should extract your foolish summary on Obasanjo's Presidency and send it to him. Also, one of your brothers on nairaland said Obasanjo destroyed NEPA because of Industries in the North and built gas pipelines to industries in Ogun and Ibadan.

The truth of the matter is that the Military was breastfeeding the North while the South produced the milk. The change in system of governance brought about structural adjustments which were initially very difficult for North to comprehend. What your Captain of Industries enjoyed during the military era that made them what they are is just what IBETO cement enjoyed under Jonathan that Dangote complained. I was on the side of Dangote I just brought it for your attention.

You said you were outside Nigeria on assignment, which means, it is likely you are working in the presidency. Advise them, let the States collect their VAT as it is done in US and other civilized society. After all, Kano and Kaduna contribute more VAT than 14 states in the South.

Let us kick start the development in Nigeria. The VISION of the South is quite different from the VISION of the North. The Bauchi governor said your VISION is to use Nigeria's resources to promote and further the interests of Fulanis across West Africa. That's not our vision in the South.

Whats the point in the whole jaggon you penned?

Online tribalist hater you are just making empty noise here with no knowledge ONLY FIVE STATES CONTRIBUTE 87% OF VAT IN NIGERIA

Lagos state-55%

FCT. -20%

Rivers. - 6%

Kano. -5%

Kaduna. -1%

Where is your state?

WibusJaga:

Good. The more the merrier.
Hopefully the judicial system will do justice to this matter. VATs & Personal Income Tax collection should be the exclusive preserve of respective states.
Doesn't make sense for alcohol-destroying states in the North to expect share of the VAT proceeds from same alcohol businesses they are destroying.

enonche85:


Kano can never be 5% and Rivers 6%, it's impossible. Wike complained Kano generated 2.8bn from VAT and where given 2.8bn, while Rivers generated 15.6bn but were given only 4bn so how does that translates to 6&5 %s respectively?.

ibrahimsalam:
Stale! Is ortom the only state governor owing salaries? Let's hear word
If you witness the type of killings meted against his people the way he has witnessed ,you would have probably lost your senses by now.

Truthissupreme:
funny enough at the time they went to NASS rivers has already gotten a judgment supporting it based on the constitution and acting on it

Meaning the period the constitution existed is what is still guiding the judgement

Even if NASS fraudulently change it, the courts would still be judging based on the actual constitution before change

So much love how San woolu signed into law his own sharply before NASs makes a change

When NASS changes it, it would only affect other states that didn't meet this deadline

Either way Lagos and Rivers is all that's important

You mean this overall revenue?..
