Omo I actually refrained from calling him an illiterate. I now see why the bill is having challenges. If he could articulate such rubbish in English language. Asides that car has nothing to do with VAT, how does the excise duties on cars be paid to Lagos instead of NPA? It's so tiring!!

Honestly am tired of reading people showing pure ignorance with so much boldness.

Most of them don't even no the meaning of VAT to start with, imagine him saying oil companies paying VAT.

Honestly people need to read more in this country cos it is appalling seeing an educated person writing about something he knows nothing about with confidence.

Macphenson:
One of the most controversial issues in this Tax Reform Bill is that 60% of VAT to be shared by states will be given to the state it was collected from, It seems by this it will only favour mostly Lagos and Rivers State to the detriment of the Northern states who are collecting more VAT based on population.

Here is my concern, Lagos state was deliberately made the commercial headquaters of the Nation to the detriment of other states the more reason it collects more taxes.

Practically, All the cars entering the country pays their tax to only Lagos state. Even the cars to be used in Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta and Cross River states. Now this is not fair to these states as they have their own seaports but cars are not entering them, the taxes they are supposed to get as a state goes to Lagos state.

Also, Telecom companies pay their VAT in Lagos because their headquaters are located in Lagos, If this new bill is passed, that is no longer fair to all other states where the Telcom companies operate. Telcom companies should now start paying VAT to each state they operate as you can no longer rob Peter to pay Paul.

Oil companies have their headquaters located in Lagos while they operate in different states especially in the Niger Delta. This will no longer be fair if the bill is passed becaused those states where the oil companies operate will start demanding that the oil companies pay thier VAT in those states they operate.

The truth is this bill if passed, is seriously going to open litany of issues which I dont think at the moment the bill captured or resolved it.

Another worrisome dimension, this may prompt the oil producing states to start demanding for 60% of the oil revenues from their respective states, once this happens, chaos will reign supreme in the country.

Most you are just educated illiterate honestly.

So duties paid on cars is VAT, oil companies tax is VAT??

Like do you know the meaning of VAT??

If you are an undergraduate or a graduate you are a disgrace to Nigeria education system.

Hmmmm.

They are even telling him to fire the gun.

ycat:
Thanks, the translation almost got it all except a few.

From what I'm hearing, the pay is 5k a day for weeding but no Yoruba would take it up for even 10k per day. Also security guard, what's going on? I thought there was nothing at all for people to do, not knowing that there are jobs people will never do even if they are hungry.

You are very wrong.

All you need to do is go to any bus stop and offer this job with a loud speaker and see what happens next.

People have been scam many times with this job offers that why is hard to see anyone take it online.

Personally, I don't believe in denying my man sex unless I'm sick or on my period... Maybe things might change in the nearest future, I don't know.

When it comes to religion, things can be different... That's why during fasting, one is required to abstain from certain things, especially if it's dry fasting.

There'll still be a time to have sex in the evening when the woman has broken her fast... It's like the man doesn't know the rules of fasting.

Please which Bible chapter and verse was that instructions given.

Secondly where was it written in the bible a woman shouldn't cook for her sick husband cos she fasting.



The issue i have with you women is you will never admit and own your shit.....there is always an excuse for every rubbish behavior.

Kukutente23:
They are fighting for the masses. The allocation to states is used to pay workers etc etc etc and not just loot. Southern govs are not better than northern govs when it comes to looting. They are even worse!!

Ehya.

KnowAll:
Governor Zulum said life on television “ politics today” the LG is currently collecting free 100 million for an empty land.

If he truly said that then he just shot him right on his foot.

So how did he conduct local government elections in those area?? How did LG chairman in those area emerged??

All of a sudden after FG stop paying LG allocation to him he realized some LG are empty ??


You see this governors are our major problems, they are in for there own selfish interests.

How is he abusing power??

This a man that has alot to lose if some rubbish is written about him if not true.

No top business man will smile at someone defaming his/her character.

He did the right thing by reporting to the authorities.....let dele prove what he wrote is true that all.

Kukutente23:
Brilliant take by Daily Trust!!
It is unfortunate that it is a northern newspaper that is intelligently contributing to the discourse from a dispassionate point of view while southern ones are simply joining the bandwagon and drumming platitudes and propaganda instead of intelligently dissecting the issues with insights and concision.

Zombies have been attacking me since yesterday simply because I have been pointing out incongruencies in the bill claiming I'm anti-progress. Meanwhile even they do not understand anything about the bills other than that it must pass because it was presented by their god and anyone against it is just being a hater or anti-progress or a parasite.

Meanwhile, it is VAT we are talking about here. Even parasites have to pay VAT going by its definition! For the avoidance of doubt, the main points are itemized here:

1. VAT is presently being collected at point of production and not consumption which makes its collection disproportionately higher in urban and large manufacturing areas. Meanwhile it is a consumption tax that's supposed to be paid by the final consumer even if it is embedded at every stage of production.

2. VAT is presently being shared based on two principles. Point of collection and population of states. The first principle is the bone of contention the pro-South people have while ignoring the second principle. If VAT is truly a consumption tax, then it bears that areas with higher population should pay more of it than those with lower population figures not so?

3. The bill does not clearly define any new model for collection or distribution of VAT. It only changes the sharing formula within the units. With this, the North suspects it's a ploy to rob it of revenue based on derivation. Derivation is actually used ambiguously in the bills.

4. We all know that conformity with laws and regulation is higher in the South than the North. This might be a reason for the low VAT revenue from the Northern states. Anyone who has been to Kano or Kaduna will wonder how those places generate such little VAT with the very high commerce that goes on there. It is simply an administrative and compliance issue and not because they are parasites as most Southerners quickly conclude. If compliance can be improved upon in the North, don't be surprised if Kano starts to pull as much VAT as Lagos. Why should FG collect VAT anyway? Why not let the states do it and remit to the centre?

5. Among the items exempted from VAT is agricultural produce. Obviously, the aim is to keep food prices low. We all know that the North is the main farming zone of the country which means you have summarily robbed them of VAT in a bid to feed everybody. Why then do we summarily dismiss them as parasites? Just imagine VAT on tomatoes, peppers and onions alone.

I don't know why anyone will even have issh with this bill.

The governor against this bill don't mind if VAT is increased to 50% , all they care about is sharing formula.

Now tell me are they are fighting for the masses or there own pockets??

For your age, you are already making good progress. But I am bothered; are eggs this difficult to sell?

Sometimes is difficult oooo.

Location and having readily available off takers matters alot in this line of business.


Sometimes poultry farmers make huge lost if there is no buyer.

Fiyin123:
Hello all, I'm a 20 year old poultry farmer with a number of crates to sell. I actually have someone that collects them but the woman has been messing me up (she hasn't paid for about 30+ crates) and poultry expenses are piling up.

I have 30+ crates (all fresh, not more than 3 days) for sale. The eggs are small to medium size and are going for a discounted price of 4500. My location is Baruwa inside and if you would like to reach me, text me on WhatsApp 09050382831.

Thank you.

Hmmmm....business

givedemwotowoto:
We have both read the bill. I have a simple question and I asked this simple question. All I need is the answer. You on the one hand is supporting the bill but don’t fully understand it. So who’s being ignorant here?

People like you just want argue unnecessary.

If abia generate 600bilion at the end of the month it will get 60% back with the new bill.

Currently if abia generate 600billion at the end month it will barely get 20%.

This how low I can go and I truly hope you understand.

givedemwotowoto:
So you mean as a supporter of the bill, you don’t know exactly how it will affect revenue accruing to states, you just like the sound of it?

Is waste of time explaining to someone with a close mind.

You think the bill is bad.

I think the bill is good.

I don't need to convince you to change your mind neither do you need to do likewise.

God bless.

givedemwotowoto:
Do you understand the question? I don’t think so. If you fully understand this new VAT proposal and how it favors states more, give me numbers, I a not asking for sentiments.

Oooo I see.


I guess you know your way to Abuja.....you be attended to very well.

givedemwotowoto:
So far nobody has been able to answer this simple question but they’re all claiming the reform will favor states generating less in VAT like Abia.

This were answers lies.

The governors against this bills are only fighting against one thing......New sharing formula

Non is against the increase in VAT percentage...they aren't against citizens paying more.
They are only fighting for there own pockets and not you.

The more people in abia state consume goods that are VAT on it, the more money for abia government at the end of the month.....simple as ABC

Only naive people doesn't know governors are the major problems in Nigeria.

They call themselves emperors in there state, no one must challenge them.


Anyways this an eye opener for people who think Nigeria can be change easily, political elite will fight everything that doesn't favour them.

If no be say tinubu strong, by now this northerners would have threatened to make Nigeria hot for him.

Definitely the lady is an illiterate.

She should giving them money....at a point either her or the police will do the right thing.

When I tell people governors are the major problems of this country but we focus everything on the presidency alot of don't really understand.

This another clear case, the northerners are pure hypocrite. You destroy alcohol but want to earn from those who take it.

That bill is just an eye opener for everyone to see how messed up things are for anyone who things he can change Nigeria. This people will fight you over anything that doesn't favour them.

If it was a weak president by now this northerners politicians would have start threatening him.
