There is no need for House of Reps or Senate to create an intervention where none is needed.

The authority to collect VAT had always been a power of the States. The military arm-twisted the states and forcefully took control of this resource.

The states, in turn, had always traditionally paid homage to the center. They looked to the center as a fountain and benevolent source of their existence, never questioning its authority, until now.

If Southern States will revisit history and tradition, as well the legal roots and processes for many of the statutes currently binding on them it will not be surprising at all that they will uncover and reassert their authentic authorities, and do so without ever a need to amend any law at the national level.

House of Reps is a law making office, it is not their job to interpret and exercise the law, that's a prerogative for the Judiciary and Courts. House of Reps is illiterate when it comes to its statutory duty, much more understanding or posessing the knowledge and skill to arbitrate between Federal and States on VAT.

It is time Southern Nigeria open the books from 1914 till now and reverse all the injustices and robbery perfected against its people under a false structure of union for Nigeria. The union is a robbery, and South is the victim.

States should tell House of Reps to hands off VAT. The law does not need a change. It is prerogative of States to collect incomes. Even custom duties at ports can be disputed and states can assert their rights on that as well. The ports existed before Nigeria was made a union. Who owned them and collected tolls at ports before Nigeria? The Kings of the coastal towns owned rights at their ports. There was never any treaty between the Kings and the colonialists to relinquish ownership of ports to the Tafawa Balewa government or its succeeding regimes. Like I said, power of gun and bullets stole the Southern treasuries and converted them to ownership under Islamic Sultanate and sharia.

The monarchs in South South creeks are less wealthy than Emirs in Sharia states. Why?

Displace this union of robbery quick quick!
