Actually north is not crying. Yall are just manufacturing your own delusion. Adamawa is already implementing the VAT judgment!

DubaiLandLord:
IGR is different from VAT

blackpanda:
It's like u aren't even thinking at all. On the contrary all thieves and looters will fight to be governor, since they now control all the assets of the state. People will suffer immensely because even the state houses of assembly are in governor's pocket. Who will question the governor??

Safyqueen:
Mr man everything is not VAT, every part of the country has their advantage. The north being the most populated in human resources has her advantage. Lagos was former capital of Nigeria hence those infrastructures that they still use to enhance businesses vis-a-vis IGR collection.
The Atlantic ocean belongs to entire country, why do I pay for clearance of my goods in Lagos ports when the owner of the goods that transact the business is in Kano?

GorillaApp:
Bros you harsh o

computer0810:
Stop dis ur madness of kanu dis kanu that all d time, tinubu fought FG on dis same issues when he was governor of lagos state even b4 u know about kanu

Let's speak in 1 voice so states can control its resources, u can't win a case in court with kanu agitation mantra
D north cannot keep reaping where dey did not sow

bayelsaowei:
What the FG can do as pay back to the governors that will favor the masses is engineering the senators to strip governors off their immunity. That will be a win win for citizens...we need total accountability from our fufu head leaders.

blackpanda:
Is Lagos the only state in the south? What of Oyo, osun, imo, enugu, abia etc. What did they generate You guys always reason everything based on tribalism. There are only 5syates actually contributing to vat. 2 of them are in the north.

PeaceJoyLove:
Thank God. Now, when FG and NATIONAL assembly realise they can just put in law which favors them only, and they know Nigerians are vexing, Nigeria will start getting better.

The way forward is to cut off Abuja. That it. Cut it off gradually. Later Abuja will be the one begging states. And before you know it, Abuja is a goner. Enough is enough.

Ballmer:
Lame excuse to continue the servitude of working monkeys while baboons feast.

Let everyone move to a working state so we can disolve banditry inflicted state for prosperous ones to take over that is another way to look at things instead of financing a cycles of redundancy, inefficiency n foolishness in the name of whatever disguise you are promoting that makes no single sense in the 21st century.

Imagine Lagos as at 2021 labouring to build seaport airport Lekki export zone Eko atlantic etc n so many others n in your delusion a Zamfara with an academy churning out bandits in the same 21st century deserves a cut of that hard work ?! I am not sorry to say this but individuals such as you deserve to be beheaded in broad daylight to serve as detterant to others plagued with same foolish sense of entitlement n reasoning.

Unjust hatred for people will consume you. We see the obvious in the very hilarious VAT battle that is happening. I just dey observe.
Many supported Governor Wike's decision to be collecting VAT because they say "the North contributes nothing and they want to be collecting". But if they know their facts they will understand that they are digging a hole for themselves. They will realize it is all of us that will suffer when States collect VAT.
First of all, after Lagos, the next place that contributes the highest VAT (20%) is the FCT which is in the North. Yes this is followed by Rivers at 6% but Kano is next with 5% and this is followed by Kaduna. So no, it is not as you have been misinformed. The only special case is Lagos. So your State will suffer. Even Lagos will suffer with much more people migrating there. When resources are shared among Federating Units, it is shallow to always think it is injustice. Give Lagos 100% of it's VAT, Mukaila from Sokoto, Chinedu from Aba and even Lasisi from Osun will all migrate there. So what is the point again?
Secondly, in the federal system, companies with less than 25 million were not VATable. You think you are doing Northerners but your company will become VATable once Wike's law is replicated in your State. Why do you think commercially massive States like Abia and Anambra do not top the list of VAT contributors? Because those boys in the market were not exactly VATable, wait until what you are blindly supporting takes effect. VAT will be collected like motor park tickets. Then you will see where hate has led you.
Third, people will most likely pay VAT twice across different states with different laws because Wike does not know what is input and output VAT and did not listen to Nojeem Olasubomi Yusuf and others who politely asked him about it.
Some have even termed Wike the leader of restructuring in Nigeria. A gullible people in search of heroes. Being used and misled by every opportunist. Stop allowing yourself to be used by politicians to settle their personal scores while they tell you they are fighting for your interest.
You need to first know what your interest is to know who is actually fighting for or against it

Ibkhaleel01:
Why must you lie

Ibkhaleel01:
When you see the Southern governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists, freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets & their hate doped retards on social media especially those from the Niger Delta talk about restructuring & resource control, you will think they genuinely love Nigeria & their region.
Sure No!
What they want is more money, more power & more control over the money without no one querying them.
Those governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that swallowed the 6 trillion naira in NDDC over the past 18 years meant to develop the Niger Delta in addition to squandering trillions of naira & billions of dollars that accrued to Niger Delta from federal statutory allocations, 13% derivation funds, ecological funds, Ministry of Niger Delta funds, taxes, royalties rents etc with only poverty, deprivation & backwardness to show for it every 4 years are the same governors, politicians, elders, elites, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that will manage a restructured Niger Delta controlling all the resources there.
If they truly want restructuring, they would have welcomed & implemented by now Buhari's executive orders granting financial autonomy to local governments, state houses of assembly & state judiciaries instead of rejecting it & going to court to challenge the orders.
Those that are fighting for restructuring don't want independent local governments, state houses of assemby & state judiciaries because these are arms & organs of government, that if truly independent, will effectively check the excesses of the state governors & those embezzling the resources of the states in the region.
Those governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that want resource control are not ready to invest the billions of naira & dollars they stole from Nigeria & Niger Delta in prospecting for oil & building the massive oil infrastructures required to explore, manage, store & transport crude oil & gas.
That's why at the expiration of the oil leases held by some Nigerians & foreign companies, Buhari refused to renew them but rather passed the opportunity to own them to states so that they can control the resources & use the huge profits to better the lot of citizens of their states.
Many states in the Niger Delta & their governors, politicians, elites, elders, cashivists, freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets rejected the opportunity because it involves huge investments & rather opted to sell this opportunity of thier states owning these oil blocks to private individuals & firms for immediate cash from 10% commisions, kickbacks & convenient taxes.
They don't want the restructuring & resources control that will give the states more responsibilities, that will benefit their people or promote transparency, growth & development in their region. What they want is the restructuring that will give them more powers, more control & more money to squander.
That's why they talk about devolution of powers to states that will allow the governors absolute powers to make decisions on a lot more wide range of portfolios presently under the purview of the federal government.
That's why they are appropriating to themselves through their zombified state assemblies the powers to collect all taxes in their states including VAT.
That's why they are rejecting financial autonomy to local governments, state assemblies & state judiciary so that they can have the additional local government billions of naira to squander, pass any selfish law they want & obtain any court order they want against their opponents while eliminating scrutiny from the same institutions constitutionally empowered to query & sanction them.
That's why they are bent on having state police to intimidate, brutalize & put away any opponent or dissenting voice.
Sadly, the citizens of these states have their brains & minds so wickedly twisted by the ethno-religious hate opium they are doped daily & can no more comprehend who their enemies are.
A pathetic shame indeed!!

Ibkhaleel01:
You know this VAT thing is like a basta*d child confidently demanding for DNA test in protest against sharing the inheritance with another child he or she considers to be undeserving.
If every State stands alone, you will realise that your bragging is on thin air. We have clearly seen that Lagos, Abuja, Rivers, Kano lead the pack.
If we carry out a simple VAT fertility you will see that your State is VAT impotent....and your much touted beer VAT are blank shots.
Na just gum body dey make una think say your state dey fertile.
