Call him the harbinger of doom. They're in a catch-22. Change will come they have to adapt. Become more pro business and advocate for more state autonomy on setting rates and discarding taxes all together. You would basically get the United States where 50 states compete for business and people. Look at how income taxes are different between states. VAT and Sales are no different.

How sure it will work considering open corruption that is the fears menh

Abia state is setting the pace others states should follow if you all love Nigeria

DeLaRue:
The President didn't mess up anything. The current arrangement of allowing the Federal government collect VAT on behalf of the states is better.

Under the military (Babangida or Abacha), each State was allowed to collect sales tax (VAT). However, no State was able to collect much of the tax, probably because the technology and knowledge was not available then.

After 1999, the new civilian government reverted to central collection by the federal government.

As you rightly said, VAT is not on the exclusive list, which means each State can enact its own VAT/Sales tax law. River State under Mr Wike took the matter to court and won. I recall Northern Governors were pleading with Wike not to continue with the case 'cause they know it would be to the disadvantage of poor states.

Yet, some of them are now trying to frustrate a reform of the current outdated arrangement.

No problem, it just needs one Southern state to return to Court, and if as expected, the Court rule that each State can collect its own sales tax, then the poorer States will be in much deeper trouble.

If each state collects its own VAT, states like Lagos, Oyo, Kano, Rivers etc will be rolling in unprecedented revenue, while several poor states will go into abject poverty.

If that's what the Northern Governors want, that's fine.

The tax bills are even still considerate, setting aside more money for distribution to poorer States. So, I don't understand the extreme stance of some of the Governors.

The bills will pass anyway. Nothing to worry about.

You are educating them and the same time threatening them on how they cannot survive even if they accept to try it.
What should I call you now?

Maybe this why almost all the Yorubas I have do business with always claim Lagos first before letting you know the real state they come from.
Every states have the right to be their best including other Yorubas states not Lagos alone

Look out what a reasonable human being like you is saying

This people and religious law
What we should be talking now is something high that will make us all happy

See the kind of brain Nigerians is under their rules

The truth is as long as this collective interest that Igbo must never rule gave bath to all this looting and we can't help it so the circle will always continue unresist except God almighty intervene.

Ok now
Let us continue the circle

Even the Nigerias like the suffering
Just mention Igbo and see them justifying the suffering

Biafra is the only hope of Africa when it comes to technology is quite unfortunate that are they are under Nigeria boundage

Hmm

Fake sats

May God dissolve this kind hunger leadership

That is why the south east is pushing for Biafra day and night

Onicha may not be the best neighborhood in Nigeria but it's a key economic hub. I don't like comparing cities because they have different dynamics

I concon without proudness

ANSMEDIA:
Envy and bitterness is your problem. How does a people posting their city now a source of hate and jealousy? Is this the first time people have posted their city? You want people not to show Anambra so that your age long lies can continue. You people have failed.

Wanna i as an Igbo man like you admire onisha and other igbos cities but the way your types proud about it is what I don't like even God hate proudness take note🙏

Nothing special in onisha stop attracting jealousy and hate to igbo tribe we are not competing among ourselves rather we should be corporating among ourselves

You people should think beyond language and corporate with other tribes to achieve the living standards we all want for ourselves
Corporation first before tribe is the 😍simple solution in Nigeria problems

This the real interest of holding power in Nigeria even if they didn't do the job that the money was deducted for, no body will ask since everyone among them have gotten their own share
We most hold power by all odds

This is the languages of those cashing out from this government not surprise 🤔

Mention southwest .. not southerners ..

Learn to carry your cross.. which of the south is enjoying this Yoruba government with Yoruba people

When una wan rock.. na southerners .. as soon as una get am .. na Yoruba ronu!

Na the Igbos that supposed to push harder with obi .. that allowed you guys systematically killed their vibe .. through steady propaganda against Obi.. and the Igbo people

No one can cry on their behalf . Cos they’ve allowed Yoruba control their narratives
…
Yoruba says .. hate north .. they hate north
Yoruba shouts Biafra.. they all rush to shout Biafra
Yoruba shouts southern unity.. they scream southern unity..

Latest is now they’re about pushing osibanjo over their obi.. while calling them tribalists and securing their spots

South south and its minorities has never fallen to this antics

They always know where their bread are buttered since 1970..

God bless Nigerians

Be a man and talk your feelings live igbos alone
