Giving free money to people is not the best way to end poverty, if you want to help people, give them money in such a way tha will help investments and productivity. But the bambiala culture is part and parcel of northerners, they will rather stick to the lopsided sharing formulas in the country than building capacity towards their own development.

Some of them might even think these VATs are their money which the government is taking from the south, not knowing it is just the magnanimity of the economically bouyant states to help the less economically bouyant states in the country

I disagree their skulls are not empty at least it is full of coconut water that should count for something right

only a Northerner will do this, trying to divert attention.

Even though South East is low in VAT, have you seen all of them, apart from that sellout Umahi, opposing it? Things like this does not phase a typical Southerner because they know there are ways to really cope.

Once the VAT war is over, then internal competition among Southern states will begin.

Good point
The last time we checked
It's the northern states complaining
Not the South East

As long as each states utilize the VAT for the development and progress on their people.
As long as it won't end in the foreign accounts of politicians in the states.

Maybe na military barracks de generate the VAT for Kaduna cos that na only wetin them get in excess

The Nigerians precisely southern youths, their online platforms, Tv & Radio stations with their Buhari hate obsessed producers, anchors, analysts & call-in listeners;
The Nigerian toilet tissue newspapers, their poorly educated readers running amok in public spaces with insane hate for Buhari on the useless, baseless & uninvestigated headlines they churn out every hour;
Self-hating inconsolable crickets on social media demarketing & dissing their own country & president based on the ignorance, hate & bitterness poison they wilfully swallow everyday...
Yes, none of them dissing Nigeria & Buhari has bothered to ask --
• Why Britain, a major oil producer, a world power, a major agricultural producer nation & an economic powerhouse is having a fuel & food shortage crisis & presently searching frantically for 5,000 truck drivers to help bring in fuel & food?
• Why Britian, a developed country is drafting in hundreds of military truck drivers to help out in what should be a normal civilian issue to tackle for the government?
• Why Britain, a world power, a major oil producer, a major world industrial & economic powerhouse has a
Government debt of 2.21 trillion British pounds as at July 2021.
• Yes, why Britain, a world power, a major oil producer, a major world industrial & economic powerhouse that already had a debt of 1.87 trillion pounds in April 2020 had to borrow in just one year additional whopping 340 billion British pounds bringing the total presently above 2.21 trillion British pounds to fight recessions & economic crisis which keep defying every solution by the day.
Finally, & most curiously, Nigerian media & their self-hating crickets should be asking -- why is it that inspite of all these embarrassing economic woes in Britian, a world power, & inspite of the fact that their is no hope for quick solutions, the Prime minister of Britian, his administration & his party are still on top of approval rating opinion polls conducted regularly?
Equally remember that Britiain is not fighting internal banditory, terrorism, militancy & a civil war with secessionist insurgents like Nigeria presently which is destabilizing our economic & political stability as well as gulping billions of dollars yearly that could have gone into economic, social & infrastructural developments.
It's ok to hate & be bitter with yourself to vent your contrived primitive emotions but quit infesting gullible & ignorant Nigerians with your learned hopelessness because as the authentic verifiable facts, figures & statistics by world acclaimed institutions show, Nigeria is doing remarkably well in the light of convergent global post COVID-19 world economic realities even far above many developed economies.
Be grateful because it could have been worse!
If you are in doubt, ask Venezuela!

The typical illiterate northern muslim believes all resources of the South is war booty cos the South was captured in battle.

You will be shocked

Go with your grazing land and VAT we dont need it!
No Northerner cares about it!

Southern Governors spoke emotionally.
Northern Governors spoke constitutionally.
Emotional people are getting angry.
What's the point of beating your chest as southern Governors when you can't apply intelligence in dealing with issues?

Southern Governors 0.

Southern governors have been issuing all sort of ultimatum for some months now. No one sees any qualm in them. Just one sitting and one declaration from northern governors, party don scatter.

Your region have benefited from the North for quite long...in case you dont know! History never lie...

How Herdsmen Paid To Educate Southern Nigeria.
By 1943, one of the highest revenue generator for the federation account was livestock tax.
Northern region generated £120,000
Eastern region generated £2,000
Western region generated £50
Lagos colony generated 0
The expenditure on education was as follows:
Northern region £2,341
Eastern region £47,000
Western region £34,000
Lagos colony £17,000
What this meant was that it was cow money from the north that colonialists use to send majority of Nigerians from Southern region to school at that time.
If you have no knowledge of Adams Smith rhetorics on "THE WEALTH OF THE NATION", then don't join the debate on VAT.

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.

What is VAT? How is it been charged? You guys think we are dumb in the North abi? Imagine this old fool comparing Lagos and Rivers with Jigawa and Yobe as if they are the only states in the south. The state with the lowest IGR is in the south!

THE SPAT OVER VAT: THE WRANGLING BETWEEN THIEVES AND CONFUSED VICTIMS
No single person from the north has written anything of practical import concerning the VAT battle between Southern states and Northern states.

It is clear that after systematically shifting all development and productive factors to the South, the North is at the mercy of the South.

While the North has the majority in consumer population who are the final bearer of the burden of VAT, the South has taken over the manufacture and other VATable services like import and export. It is only natural for the South to insist on states to retain VAT money which in reality both the Southern and Northern consumers paid for.

Northern traders and their goods were burnt and chased out of the South withing reciprocal response from the North. Southern terrorist received trillions as amnesty, but Northern terrorists were denied a farthing. Northern herders are denied pasture in the South in the name of a new fangled policy of ban on open grazing, while Southern drug dealers, abductors of children, gun suppliers, substandard and over prized goods retailers are having a field day in the North. And now they want receive all the VAT revenue of which in reality is paid for by all citizens across the country, besides media and physical aggression in the bid to wrest political power permanently mindless of democratic norms. What shall we say about the frontline VAT issue?

The South has masked the true nature of VAT and claimed its benefit to themselves.

Since the death of Sardauna, it has been one retreat after the other and the South has been capitalising on that. I am equally aware that the Northern leaders adopt their give and give attitude towards the South because they have been blackmailed. Like the Southern leaders, they have looted and stashed away billions; but unlike the Southern leaders, the Northern leaders are not in control of their booty.

The banks and other financial institutions in which, and through which, leaders of both divides launder their scoop is in the total control of the Southerners.

Governance and politics are now the last frontiers for the South to conquer.

I can assure you that the North has never felt the pain of being a Nigerian because their leaders who take it all in government keep pampering them. We the south have borne the burden of this country for quiet long. We have paid taxes, stayed jobless even when we are most qualified for the jobs occupied by the northerners.

For me the southern states should even be talking of how much the north is owing them and pushing for refund of the VAT they had been collecting for year.

You have the guts to destroy drinks coming from the south but you come with open arms to collect VAT from same people. The North should be ashamed to have resolved that the status quo be retained. It shows how the north has lost all her moral rectitude as country men.

Lazy governors with ignorant citizens.

The north and south have nothing in common. South is progressive while North is regrogressive. Disintegration will solve all these issues and bring a permanent solution to the criminal jihadist and fulani terrorists running the Nigerian gov't.

So what are you driving at? We should stick to the same system that has proven unworkable since 1960 not only for the South but for the North itself. North will also benefit from the restructuring bandwagon that has seemed to dominate political discourse today. With a large expanse of land they have huge resources to explore for their agrarian revolution, not to talk of huge amount of minerals that have found deposited in some parts of the North. The only people who are happy with the current system are the politicians themselves, and they cut across all ponds, forget about their political rhetorics and bylines, they are all the same. If we restructure this country and allow every region and state to develop at their own pace, this will spur competition for growths. That is the major benefit of restructuring.
