Lol they'll won't get the votes at the state legislatures to make this happen. States aren't going to give up power unless you're offering alot of powers and tax incentives..

Most States are even alright with the status quo, expect a very few selfish states like Lagos State, Rivers State, Abuja beneficiaries that have a very high Federal Government presence, which gives them very high taxable revenue.

How can Gombe, Kogi, Ekiti, Nassarawa ie collect coordinated tax state wide, do you know where the FIRS or IRS in your state is?

Blue3k:


Mumurist I didn't change the arguement at all. Just admit you're too idiotic understand how the constitution works. In order to get the law change you will need the proposal ratified by the state which requires votes by the state houses of Assembly. The what I said rephrase.

Putting VAT on the Exclusive Legislative List needs approval from State House of Assemblies as claimed by your ignorant self, or are you denying what you said?

fergie001:

Go to the Second Schedule of the 1999 CFRN.

Ok, I thought you said it was not in the Constitution?

Blue3k:


The electoral bill isn't a constitutional amendment Mumurist. How about asking about the not too young to run bill the state houses voted on. The answer to that is yes they did.

Re: Lawmakers To Vote On VAT, Power Devolution, Others by Blue3k(m): 10:42am
The lawmakers will vote on the proposal to put VAT on the Exclusive List, which will take it within the purview of only the Federal Government.

Lol they'll won't get the votes at the state legislatures to make this happen. States aren't going to give up power unless you're offering alot of powers and tax incentives..

Don’t change the narrative, the bolded is your argument, not any constitutional change you are purporting to claim now.

fergie001:

So from the years you have spent on NL, including with your former moniker, you still do not know that the Constitution is the grundnorm and every other law/bill will derive its source from it.

You do not know that the decree/bill you are speaking about has been shut down by several Courts, including the Appeal Court in this Country for been in contradiction to the Constitution.

You also do not still know that any alteration (i.e. addition/subtraction of words) of the Constitution must meet the conditions set in Section 9 of the 1999 CFRN. That is to say, National Assembly and then State Legislatures.

When you hear Exclusive Legislative List, is it not talking about the Constitution?

Yet, you are calling me a Joker.....NL is for us to communicate & not go around calling names.

Which document is the Exclusive Legislative List contained in?

Blue3k:


Mumurist they're trying to move VAT to the exclusive list so they are altering the constitution. Again go be stupid somewhere else. Its not by force to argue.

One question did your state house of assembly vote on the electoral act about to be signed by the President?

Blue3k:


You're clearly mentally challenged. Please be stupid somewhere else Mumurist.

Ignoramus,
2. An Act of the National Assembly for the alteration of this Constitution, not being an Act to which section 8 of this Constitution applies, shall not be passed in either House of the National Assembly unless the proposal is supported by the votes of not less than two-thirds majority of all the members of that House and approved by resolution of the Houses of Assembly of not less than two-thirds of all the States.

It is there in print Mumu, where section 8 of the Constitution applies, VAT does not fall under section 8 of the Constitution, so a State house of assembly has no jurisdiction.

Blue3k:

For the alteration of the Constitution, are they altering the Constitution, go back to your initial post & don’t change the narrative by throwing In grapes with oranges, you were talking about VAT precisely not altering the Constitution.

onuman:
Nigeria needs a new Constitution, not amendment of the 1999 constitution made by northern Nigeria through its military dictators.
Too many states and LGAs proliferated in the old Northern region, yet no resource Control for the mineral producing areas is a fraud. Any amendment in the Constitution which allows the skewed and lopsided political structure to stay with sharing federal allocations is another fraud.

The present NASS is repeating the futile but money guzzling amendment that its predecessors made.

Nonsense, what resource control, with all the money given to Delta State is there anything to show in the last 22 years?

Rubbish why not every Local Government & ward keep their so called natural resources, why must the whole state share it @ the capital?

Obey the laws of your country, of the 10 wealthiest countries how many of them are resource driven? Of the 10 richest persons on earth, how many of them are natural resource billionaires?

Blue3k:


You're rambling like a mumu as usual. You do know constitutional amendments require state assemblies to ratify the laws. Anyway we'll see what they'll do when the issue is front of them.

Like I said earlier you do not know anything, go & read section 315 (5) & (6) of The Nigerian Constitution 1999 (As Amended). & see the circumstances or issues under which two third of two third state house of assemblies are needed.

Mumurist.

fergie001:

That's why I said unless they have Southern collaborators. I am happy the voting will be by names, so I know the Governors are carefully watching.

Your 3 Senators will vote against it been on exclusive list, Wike controls Cross River PDP.

Joker, It will only be ratified into law by the National Assembly that it is the sole responsibility of the Federal Government to collect VAT as intended by the creators of the law, The Military under General Babaginda when the decree was pronounced.

All Wike’s Noise was just much ado about nothing for the audience.

Blue3k:


Lol they'll won't get the votes at the state legislatures to make this happen. States aren't going to give up power unless you're offering alot of powers and tax incentives..

Quite obvious you do not know anything, Who told you that State House of Assemblies will vote on the VAT Bill?

Just be ranting showing your ignorance?, there was a lacuna in the law made by the Military (Federal Government), The National Assembly will attend to it, & put VAT on the Exclusive Legislative List.

Issue closed.

Federal government should stop wasting taxpayers money...The same cow that rustlers will steal.

Chairman of APGA? Na Deputy senate President Pdp will zone to the South East.

Nonsense Alibaba Criminals.

ShaqFu:
A very stupid man. This is how you know someone who has absolutely nothing to offer.

Let them tell us how the South East is being marginalized. Like don't they have senators and federal and state house of reps members? So what's all this noise about being marginalized.

The South east should step up their game and start playing politics. Atleast since Rochas declared he wants to run for president, which politicking has he done? Even Orji Uzor Kalu, what manner of politicking has he done so far?

Atleast they can take a cue from Asiwaju who has been traveling here and there meeting people and canvassing support. Enough with all this nonsense about the South East being marginalized.

Don’t mind those shameless majority tribe Wailers.

No different from a 10 year old crying, whilst his 3 year old baby brother comforts him.

PrinceOfLagos:


You're not in government, so allow people that are in government talk and stop crying .

Is Iyorchia Ayu in Government?

jrusky:
I had said long before now all agitations we are seen today its Buhari and apc that caused it.

Buhari is a nightmare to this country. You can not be a die hard nepotic president in a complex society like Nigeria and think there would be peace it's not possible.

Nonsense Wailer, Shameless things, with all your majority tribe status, be wailing like infants because we no dash them President of Nigeria.

419 Pdp will address their grievances but will not give them the hot seat?

FERNANDEZISBACK:

Proof pls..
Cos as far as I know The U.S. dominates with $21.44 trillion in nominal GDP and makes up one-fourth of the world economy. ..

As far as I am concerned United States
GDP – Nominal: $20.89 trillion
GDP per Capita: $63,413
GDP – Purchasing Power Parity (PPP): $20.89 trillion..
So where is your statement Coming from? kindly drop a proof for that statement you made..

What concerns you with America, they could careless about you in Nigeria?

FERNANDEZISBACK:

I thought you said the world is moving away from them..you are only speaking out of anger without any point. .
I clap for you..haha..

You didn't even prove any of my point wrong..why is the ruble not used as the international trade currency instead of the dollar since you say America is useless..

And can you stop using your alternate to like your comment?

Even Joe Biden is begging Congress for $3 trillion dollars to build America back because China has left them behind.

Republicans say that they do not have the money, Democrats say borrow, our children will pay it back.

Ojiofor:


Already Biden have warned all US citizens to leave Ukraine before Russia invasion because they won't be sending any military into Ukraine for a rescue mission, they should escape now there is still time.That warning came since last week.Russia is dangerously armed to the teeth and US and her allies know this.

Putin knows Biden we’ll from the Obama era, weak man, Boris Johnson is a Joker.

Nothing they can do, bunch of cowards EU & NATO.

IhateYouMan:


What a clown

Even poor Romania will deal Nigeria a heavy blow.

Slave mentality, na malaria fever go kill more than half of the Romanian Soldiers in the Ipobian forest of Biafra. Mumurist.

America, NATO including Australia with all their might, ran away from Afghanistan, like Yankee did in Vietnam.

You wan fight war wey no dey end?

Ojiofor:


And you think technologically advanced country like Russia is a third world country that can't be able to penetrate enemy airspace if they want to.Nato won't be risking their soldiers for a non Nato member like Ukraine.

Don’t mind the wolves, they only have power as a group, which member of NATO can fight even an African Country by itself?

They will use economic sanctions to finish you then attack you, like Saddam & Gaddafi, that is why North Korea forever will never give up their nuclear bomb program, just Incase those Oyibo want to try any nonsense in the Korean Peninsula.

useni1:
I chased him out of the other topic. He couldn't debate me. He met his match with a brutal force and ran away

I read your other comment, you are on point. Putin will out stay all those other leaders from the West, their policies will change, Russia & China remains the same.

China is watching, Taiwan is next.

Karmaisme:
Ukraine should stand their ground, they need to stand up to the expansionist agenda of Russia.

Stand which grounds, no be today Yankee & Europe have been looking for a way to bring down Russia, they will fail woefully.

Russia & China are preparing for them.

useni1:
How come you can write this long here but run from me elsewhere? Cuba and North Korea are brutal regime? Brutal cause they refuse to lay down their economies for capitalist vampire America to devour. Murderous because Venezuela nationalize their common wealth (oil) so they expect ordinary man can feed and take care of his father. You are so outdated to notice the change around you. The world has moved on from America and this is a desperate attempt before they close down their over 800 military bases scattered across the world while retreating to their crumbling empire. You are a small boy..I need to lecture you

Don’t mind that fernandezisback, what is wrong with Cuba & Venezuela?

Mooh247:



If they like let them call Amotekun and ESN... Nothing is stopping Russia except Ukraine comply fully with Minsk agreement

Donbas region remains recognised by Russia as Autonomous , independent region

Ukraine doesn't want it's country invaded by Russia, yet it is invading and occupying Donbas after they said they want to be a seperate Nation

.

Ukraine can never be part of NATO, if Yankee & EU think they can come & lay their weapons next to Russia all in the name of NATO, they are completely joking.
