Buratai is not a Fulani Man.

He is from the NE. All the SENATORS, REPS AND MILITARY POLITICIANS PAST AND PRESENT AND MOHAMMED YUSUF, SHERIFF AND SHETTIMA ARE BOKOHARAMS SPONSORS. BURAITAI IS IN THE COMPANIES OF ABACHA AND BUHARI. THE MILITARY OPERATIONS IN GUINEA AND MALI REPUBLICS ARE THEIR HANDIWORKS.

UMAHI HAS A BUSINESS IN BENIN REPUBLIC.

Over the years on nairaland I have read many times how some Igbo internet warriors accused the other region as betrayals but like every other things they accused other regions of it's have proven that igbos are quick to accuse or abuse others of the very things they practice and are guilty of.

The other a South East governor who represented i n a meeting with his other southern counterparts to take decision on anti grazing law declared that his state will not enact an anti grazing law. Again another Igbo governor is opposing states been in charge of their vat. It's clear now that Igbos will prefer slavery to the Fulani rules than independent control of their sovereignty yet they are the loudest to cry restructuring and etc.

You are so phatetic?igbos are só busy fighting their governors people Like you called us ipob terrorist.now you can see why we are doing all we have been doing.

Tinubuadvocate:
So you are among the EDTiiiii that wishing the incoming president AsiwajuBolaAhmed Tinubu death.

Hmmmm the incompetent former COAS

Lol.. I knew he will be among the people that will oppose it.

Afonjas said that Igbos no sabi play politics,I think some Igbo politicians are now playing the politics of Afonja.

This isn't politics. You don't play politics at the detriment of your people's lives that were lost. I think Igbo politicians should, as a matter of urgency move down to the South West to learn politics. No South West governor will do this!

Dave Umahi is simply displaying the real trait of a sellout that himself and his likes represent

If the Niger Delta states & their governments, their drunk mentally lazy bandit governors, their insatiable & unrepentant greedy elders, politicians & militant leaders cornering everything meant for the people had utilized the 6 trillion naira NDDC funds, additional tens of trillions of naira from statutory allocations, 13% derivation allocations, ecological funds, Ministry of Niger Delta funds, royalties & rents etc in the past 20 years to build the economy & infrastructure of Niger Delta, they won't be today shamelessly moving in & out of courts in Nigeria over VAT from beer & Lagos will be nowhere near Delta, Rivers or Akwa Ibom in IGR.
Now, they are instigating a VAT war with FG to cover the monumental failure in delivering governance to their people & the mindless terrorism on the people of Niger Delta recently uncovered in NDDC.
If we the citizens of Niger Delta are not already doped silly by ignorant primitive contrived emotions these leeches feed us daily, we should by now be asking them questions!
We should be telling them to give account of the trillions they collected at least in the past 20 years first before talking about collecting VAT revenue.
We should be telling them to implement local government financial autonomy first before demanding for fiscal federalism.
We should be telling them to respect & not interfere in the independence of the state houses of assembly & state judiciaries which are the two organs of government empowered by the constitution to check the excesses & misappropriation of resources by the governors if we are to trust their demands for fiscal federalism.
But sadly, we are applauding the bandits called state governors & their rapacious elders, politicians & militant leaders accomplices raping us front & back as they lead us by the nose once again as always in another wild goose chase distraction from the real issues of our underdevelopment, stagnation & destitution in the midst of plenty in the Niger Delta.
A pathetic shame indeed!

No, no borrow them sense abeg.
Na win win e still be for South West.

Slavery induced by greed for power of Azikiwe brought them this far, Umahi has now taken over from there.

This fool is still playing politics on this issue because of his dead ambition on being president

APCNig:


While South-Western politicians including Buhari's closest allies in the South-West have taken a stand to work towards VAT collection by States.

I give it to their boldness and firm resolutions of recents.
SE Govs r the real simps, such a shame.

. Umahi is doing everything to make them consider him for VP in 2023. That's why he is supporting every shit. Ruga, grazing routes etc. Singing Buhari's praises like a fool.

Azikiwe laid a very terrible foundation for the Igbo people. The man was just too greedy and crazy to think he could take over a region that wasn't his. That of Uzodinma and Umahi is on another level. Calling on outsiders to kill their youths, honouring the man who did and then threatening their own people for protesting by sitting at home. Things you won't see in other parts of the country happen freely in the East.

I have been seeing your wretched handle post often concerning the VAT move. It must truly be killing Northern Nigeria right now. Know this, the VAT move is the forceful first step to regionalism and true federalism in this country, that is if at all the parasitic North finds a way to glue the country together and we still pretend to live as one.

That said, it is the height of foolishness to empower Hisbah to have a field day in the North and charge them to destroy alcohols, clubs and social joints whereas your region depends on alcohol proceeds from the South alongside our oil. No one cursed you people. Play religion and perish, that's your business. This forceful union will no longer favour a parasitic region with no known contribution to the country.

One after the other, the South will wrestle its resources from you people. If it does not benefit you guys any longer, you will tearfully request to have the country divided.

yemmight:
I will understand him because how much is VAT Ebonyi State generating.

And how many of federal government resources do you allowed to be in Ebonyi. They should start sharing project according to state not according to region. Let every State work on their own

Dunce, asslicker. slowpoke. Idiot. Slave

Ebonyi going the way of IMO.

VAT: This Jamboree Has To End.

With Nigeria’s scariest fault-line shaken by the brewing legal war over jurisdictional responsibility for collecting value-added tax (VAT), the reality of the long-avoided restructuring may finally be upon us. The debris already in the spotlight is the overlooked question of fiscal federalism, and we must thank Governor Nyesom Wike for the gathering storm.
Whatever the eventual outcome of the court case between Rivers State and the federal government, the wave has reached the slumbering policymakers in the North in a way it never did, and some of their reactions have been predictably embarrassing.

The South has had enough of spoon-feeding the North and the polarization that undercuts national politics in the past few years was powered by this disdain. If northern policymakers were paying attention to the countenance of their southern colleagues, and the indignity of being serially singled out as the stumbling block of Nigeria’s progress even by southern states that aren’t doing well, a roadmap for escaping this parasitism stereotype would’ve been long designed.

Despite the bad press and blame game, many northern states fare better than the very southern states quick to ridicule them and have demonstrated more capability in generating internal revenue. In its latest Annual State Viability Index (ASVI), the Economic Confidential developed the viability index of states based on each state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) as a percentage of its Federal Accounts Allocation (FAA) for the year and the results were interesting.
It’s unsurprising that only two northern states are among the top 10 most viable states, with Kaduna generating N50 billion compared to FAA of N124 billion representing 40 percent, and Kwara generating N19 billion compared to FAA of N77 billion representing 25.4 percent.

What’s shocking is that even terrorist-ravaged states like Zamfara generated more internal revenues than most southern states. Zamfara State ranks 12th, ahead of Ebonyi 16, Abia 20, Imo 21 and, unbelievably, oil-rich Bayelsa 36!


The North is capable of functioning independently. The example of Kaduna overtaking Kano in that ranking of viable states is a theory easy to analyze.
Before oil rents distracted northern political elites, the Native Authority system had far-reaching tax-collecting structures and a flourishing agrarian economy servicing the needs of the region. What the North achieved in that system is unfortunately still the high-point of the region today. Without oil rents, they built Ahmadu Bello University, which is still the largest in sub-Saharan Africa and Ahmadu Bello Stadium, one of the best sports facilities then. They also set up New Nigerian Development Company, the largest black-owned conglomerate in Sub-Saharan Africa then.
The North of that agrarian era was an industrial hub, as the policymakers built new cities, textile factories, hospitals and distinguished institutions, one of which was the prestigious Kaduna Polytechnic, which was also the largest of its kind in Africa south of the Sahara then. Their overly spoon-fed successors, unfortunately, lack this ambition and the reason is this jamboree bankrolled by the South which, evidently, is not sustainable.

MelesZenawi:
Lol

Why won't Ebonyi oppose vat collection by states...

The Governor understands better and not all these Ebonyi people running their mouth online.

But those fighting for VAT collection in the States level are only speaking for their States.
Or has any of River/Lagos State gov. enacted law for other States?

Ibkhaleel001:
If the Niger Delta states & their governments, their drunk mentally lazy bandit governors, their insatiable & unrepentant greedy elders, politicians & militant leaders cornering everything meant for the people had utilized the 6 trillion naira NDDC funds, additional tens of trillions of naira from statutory allocations, 13% derivation allocations, ecological funds, Ministry of Niger Delta funds, royalties & rents etc in the past 20 years to build the economy & infrastructure of Niger Delta, they won't be today shamelessly moving in & out of courts in Nigeria over VAT from beer & Lagos will be nowhere near Delta, Rivers or Akwa Ibom in IGR.
Now, they are instigating a VAT war with FG to cover the monumental failure in delivering governance to their people & the mindless terrorism on the people of Niger Delta recently uncovered in NDDC.
If we the citizens of Niger Delta are not already doped silly by ignorant primitive contrived emotions these leeches feed us daily, we should by now be asking them questions!
We should be telling them to give account of the trillions they collected at least in the past 20 years first before talking about collecting VAT revenue.
We should be telling them to implement local government financial autonomy first before demanding for fiscal federalism.
We should be telling them to respect & not interfere in the independence of the state houses of assembly & state judiciaries which are the two organs of government empowered by the constitution to check the excesses & misappropriation of resources by the governors if we are to trust their demands for fiscal federalism.
But sadly, we are applauding the bandits called state governors & their rapacious elders, politicians & militant leaders accomplices raping us front & back as they lead us by the nose once again as always in another wild goose chase distraction from the real issues of our underdevelopment, stagnation & destitution in the midst of plenty in the Niger Delta.

who released this goat from it cage?

Majority of the leaders in ND and SE are simply sellouts. Their lack of organisation, greediness, and the unnecessary arrogance they have towards their constituents are the key factors responsible for crippling the progress of that region.
