WHEN WILL IGBO HAS THEIR OWN NO MAN'S LAND AND STOP CLAIMING THAT OF OTHERS!!!!

Gbam!

allrightsir:
No this is why things need to change, let me explain:


Mineral resources: money goes to federal

Company tax: money goes to federal

VAT: money goes to federal


The only money you keep as a state is income tax from residennts and any other revenue like license fees, okada rider fees, market women fees, advertising fees etc etc.


So tell me what is the incentive for states? Let's take a state like Ekiti, you give hectares of land to an agric company they make billions but most of the employees are low level (because that's the nature of farming) so the income tax you get is not much. The company declares billions in profit but the company tax goes to the federal govt. Same with mining, you bring out so much gold or coal or gypsum from your soil and federal takes all the benefits, the company tax, the royalties, all the VAT and shares it with other states who have not even bothered to develop their natural resources and then gives you a pittance in return....is that fair? There is no state in Nigeria that isnt viable, youve heard it many times but there is no incentive to be productive because monkey can't be working only for baboon to chop.


Because states dont attract big companies because of this lack of incentivised environment, it means generally speaking you dont attract high earning big spending middle income people, so if you look at IGR, it corresponds with the number of middle class people you have in your state....simple as! How much tax do you want to get from a market woman or akada rider? One GM pays the equivalent income tax as 1000 Okada riders, so the question is how many GMs do you have in your state, which is a function of how many big compandies you have operating in your state.

On the issue of VAT how many people can afford to shop in places where they pay VAT, Does a poorman shop at Shoprite? is there shop rite in Ekiti? So even though the man in Lagos and the man in Ekiti are both buying fanta, the man in Ekiti is not paying VAT on his fanta and so you cannot remit VAT you didnt collect.

Nice analysis

The attrition rate for our military is quite high

kn23h:
Lmaoooo Jesus Ibos are diabolical liars.

They are good at propaganda

allrightsir:
Like i said to the previous guy stupidity clerly does not know tribe.


What is IGR? Nobody shares IGR so I dont understand what relevance east or North's IGR has to SW.



VAT is not IGR! You keep all your IGR you send VAT to the center. So because some states in the North have a higher IGR than some states in the south does not mean they are contributing....states keep ALL their IGR!!!!



Let me explain something to you. The reason why VAT is highest in Lagos and Abuja is because vat is paid by registered companies and most companies have their head offices in Lagos or Abuja even when their major operations are elsewhere...it's a simple as that. When did you buy spare parts from Emeka in isolo and saw VAT on your receipt, do you pay VAt when Jelili your mechanic brings bill for work on your car do you see vat, does he even give you receipt?

Those with the least IGR are least viable and less likely to survive on their own hence dependence of FG allocation

ERockson:
The whole SE can not boast of 2% of the total VAT. I wonder which area they actually contribute to national growth in that region.

Exactly, and they make the most noise. Out of all 6 zones, their IGR is the second lowest only higher than the NE for obvious reasons

TonyeBarcanista:
It is good that you argue intelligently and not unintelligently. You run to Wikipedia when nobody will accept it for intellectual discuss except there are facts to back up.

What does Ikwerre people Italk of themselves?

The Ogbakor Ikwerre Convention, a cultural organization of Ikwerre people, in a paper presented to the Human Rights Violation Commission headed by Rtd. Justice Chukwudifu Oputa on 10 October 2001, said:“Ikwerre ethnic nationality is not and has never been a sub-group of any other tribe in Nigeria including Ndi-Igbo. There is no doubt that the advent of the British and later regionalization put Ndi-Igbo at the helm of affairs in Eastern Nigeria. This brought Ndi-Igbo into Ikwerre land. In course of time, the Igbo took advantage of their position in the then Eastern Regional Government to grab land in Ikwerre and occupy political positions such as the mayor of Port Harcourt. In the process, Ikwerre along with other minority groups were marginalized and driven to the background.”


RUMUOMASI Deceleration of Ikwerre People


" … in their meeting at Rumuomasi in 1965 the Ikwerre had, under the umbrella of a highly promising new body that was to get the Ikwerre together as a people of new and clearer vision, they had declared themselves as a people of the distinct identity of Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality - not Ibo, not Ijo, not anything else but Ikwerre, Iwhnurọhna. This was the historic Rumuomasi Declaration of 1965 (G.O.M. Tasie, 2000).


Just like Ogoni people have Ogoni Bill of Right, Ijaws have Kaiama Declaration, Urhobo have theirs same with Efik ans Ibibio, so is Ikwerre.

I'm not aware that anything has changed.

So which group in Rivers claim to be Igbo?

It was the same thing in sapele before the civil war where igbos acquired properties and had streets with igbo names but sfter the war the names were changed.If the war had not happened they would have been laying claim to sapele. It is their way.

What revenue record?

kjsunday3:
i got the planted stalk though its 4yrs ago at 300 naira

How does one get it?

Where is this and how much did you get your seed for?

What is the total cost and how many kg/tons per hour will be produced?

Also price for one cashew seed?

How long does cashew take to fruit and what is the yield like?

Propaganda people, the commentator claims 3m came out,what I see is not more than 10000 miscreants.He said rivers state is the biggest oil producing state in the world when Akwaibom is largest oil producing state in the country

rusher14:
So can you explain how Uyo, Calabar, Yenegoa are by any stretch of the imagination Igbo?

I have not seen a people like this,very troublesome

Hausa/fulani,the problem of this country.As it was 8 years ago,so it is today.

Have you produced the fruits yet?I expected to see you near the fruits on the tree

lyricalz:
let Nnamdi Kanu go to Benue for rally and also visit delta state (not delta Igbo land o, d real delta. places like warri, sapele, koko n others) if he is not stoned to death in those places then I know brafia is for real. he should stop sitting in his home and making noise.

If he dares come to Effurun, warri ughelli,sapele or Oghara he will be stoned to death

Only rivers? Well it is left for the rivers to decide what they want.

Rorachy:
I thought the said they are separated.

Thought so too

Jobless, naive and ignorant people

Why will someone invest all his money in one source, doesn't make sense

Why don't we have such in the south?

There is already a solution ;make it compulsory within a period for every Nigerian to be registered with the NIMC and the population will be known. There will be no manipulation. India with a population of over 1b registered all her citizens in 5 years using biometrics including iris scan.

yomexp:
Why is everybody running away from Biafra? yyy

nobody trusts them,If the SS joins them, they will takeover and dominate

NtoAkwaIbom:
Truth is, this is what we should have done from the Beginning.
The North are aligned togeda..
but The minorities will not side with Igbos as they keep playing the Biafra card anytime, something happens. But the truth is, no one in his right sense will trade being a servant to master 2. when he could get his freedom.

However, Shelfin The miscreants away,
the South can align to form a force against the North in National Issues...

#I stand for a United South. #But I will forever fight against the South South being joined into slavery 2, Under Biafra.
Even

oya Ipob Miscreants... take ur shots.. I am the Bullet proof Citizen of the creeks.

God bless you, these people are funny, they made a ss man chairman but we know their intention, we can never join biafra

Stop wearing hijab

ESDKING:
Your first answer shows you don't know Biafran territory and I have answered that as of the quoted you first. Biafran territory didn't stop in five states. Go and check the map of Biafra.
On the issue of civil servants, I didn't the number of civil servants each state has.
You asked question on what will happen to civil servants serving under Nigeria govt, ie: those serving outside Biafra land and I answered that one too .
I don't know how you want to me to explain it for you to understand.
Read my ist quote again, I answered all your questions there and you are still repeating it.

You igbos should forget about rivers,akwaibom,delta and cross river as they can never acccept biafra. If the south south states join biafra, the igbos will be at least 40 percent whereas others will be 50 to 60 percent and so igbos will dominate so it will not work meanwhile the mainstay of the economy (oil)is in their land.Igbos should forget them and think of other ways of generating revenue and negotiate acess to port Harcourt ports and the. Charges they will pay for their use.

If you say the profit is 350k. And investment is 350k,what will be the yield and how much will a ton be sold for?
