Kudos to Wike for championing the VAT struggle for States. He'll go down in history as the father of restructuring for the new Nigeria.

It started first in Lagos

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a step.....

Kudos to Wike and Lagos Governor.

No more enjoyment of VAT from alcohol by states that ban sale of alcohol.

canalily:
They will still collect and embezzle it... Smiles this time with force

.

Better to embezzle at state level than take it to Abuja to chop and clean mouth, all those big men pikin for FIRS go find new work

It was Wike.
Lagos then applied to join Rivers in the suit.

It started in Lagos years ago but lost on technical ground ( suing the FG). What Wike did was explore the technicality & sue the appropriate agency (FIRS).

We are talking about addressing our own peculiar problems , sagay is talking about nonsense .in the present system, State Governments don’t take care of most local governments chairmen . Leadership should always be developed from the grassroots . Most local governments are just appointed by the the political party in power in the state and they always go cap in hand to beg the governor for funds for projects . That nonsense needs to stop . I applaud the passage of the bill .

well let Ganduje and his hisbah continue breaking bottles of beer

These people just wake up from sleep abi na 2023 campaign strategy be all these?

We will continue to destroy alcohol ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Hisba religious police.

This is example that you can fight the rich. Our law maker don collect bribery from state. Nice move from our southern governor especially governor Wike. I hail you sir.

What about the right for state to own seaport, this one the south will be divided because Yoruba people will never agree with other southern states to have their seaport

Now we don't have to be forced to enjoy from beer and wine VATs.

See this one

Even Wike himself gave credit to Lagos who started the battle for revolution.

States will be shouting .....na God win....a don get alert..God....win.... chai! Na Lagos go dey dance seriously. Chia. Apapa sea port. Chai. Lekki Sea port... Yeeee! Badagry seaport.... 3 gbosa for Lagos....Gbosa! Gbosa!! Gbosa!!!

Ibo, do not ever leave Naija. You weren't only the one cheated, Lagos and Rivers were cheated too. But I understand the pain.

At the same time, please, look at your own governors too. They are always your enemies. Please, fix that one first. Put people like Soludo there. Let me tell you, after oil, FG cannot control anytning again. You dont need to split now, the era of FG controlling resources is about to be over. You may not enjoy it, your children may not, but your generations after will. So, why leave Nigeria? It doesnt make sense again.

By 2050, most states will have more than 80% control of their resources. Then, oil and gas will have become less attractive to the world.

But I read somewhere on this forum that it was voted against.

I need to see a credible Nairalander to verify this .

FreestuffNg .

I thought this bill was voted against

Hahahaha! Do you think NL can run it's own report?

Do you want to know the truth, as LindaIkeji dey copy and paste like Xerox, na there NL dey pick some if the front page news. Like a dullard in an elementary school copying another dullard..lol. I'm not joking.

Hahaha. But NL should have invested in quality front page news. Imagine mods scouting for news on Lindaikeji, the queen of copy & paste. Queen of copyright violator. That one na juju? Nope...na incompetency. Yes, lifting news from lindaikeji and the likes of it is a high level incompetency rating.

Wike 2 - 0 FG

When are they going to propose part time legislative system to save us cost?

Admission is ongoing for Sept intake in universities/colleges in Canada, UK, Ireland and co. This is one of the legal and best way to relocate with your family abroad.

Wike don win! Wike don win.

It is also good that Vat from other states won't be used to pay bandits and organise mass weddings.

I believe FG is taking too many VAT from her Citizen. We now pay VAT on SMS, Calls, Bank withdrawal and Deposit...more Taxation

Lagos' case was the Locus for Rivers to build on.
Also, so you know, it wasn't Wike who won the first victory. A certain SAN sued the FIRS over VAT and won. It was on the strength of that Rivers adopted his brief of arguments and sued the FIRS.

Thats a good development

Hausa-fulani failed on this one.
The bloodsucking parasites and leeches won't let Nigeria breathe!
