So, if there was actually a creator that cared, would he be there and watch those innocent kids burn to ashes, just because the parents didn't speak to him in the morning to guide their path huh

Since its not carbon monoxide/ generator fume, how can adult sleep inside burning smoke, it makes u cough u go wake up by force
Who told you the volumes of smoke(from partially combusted materials) pouring into the rooms from the burning roof did not contain carbon monoxide??

Can you see how bad half knowledge can be?
Carbon monoxide doesn't only come from generator fumes
Every fire in an enclosure(like in rooms, roofs, etc) generate massive amounts of carbon monoxide because the oxygen present in such enclosed spaces is not enough to fully burn/combust the materials present.

You are asking South East not to support the tax bill - a region that rests heavily on businesses. The tax reform will stop multiple taxation killing their businesses.

You well so ?
You're an ediot who can't making any convincing argument without throwing insults
We are talking about states here which are responsible for developments, not individuals and their small businesses, you selfish goat.
And you don't know that state govts will increase the taxes paid by those businesses if they can't get enough VATS/revenues as a result of this bill?

Currently, how much VATs are the SE states being raised from those businesses(which are mostly small small enterprises) you're talking about?

You haven't seen the recently released list of states and their respective VATS raised as welĺ as that of that of IGRs and the position of the SE states on the list?
Imo state, for eg, get more VATs from the centrally shared one than from the one it could raise from within the state. I guess you didn't know about this.

Can you compare these small small businesses in the SE with the plethora of big Igbo businesses scattered around the country where they'll now be generating huge VATs only for the host states?

If not that you are shallow minded, then you should think that it is one step at a time. This should give oil producing states the leverage to ask for more from their oil sales. They just need to wait for about three months after the VAT bills are passed and then ask for their own too
Shallow minded kiii you and your useless cunning and selfish people there!
Which one step at a time?
T!efnubu will do resource control that will not favour most SW states for you??
Why didn't he start with it??

PoliticsRe: My Honest Opinion On The Tax Reform Bill As A Igbo Boy by Free2Fly: 4:23pm On Dec 02, 2024
Oganigwe:
As for me as an Igbo man and Obi supporter, I personally don't like Tulumbu's government one bit, but I'm beginning to actually like T-pain as a person. It seems Tinubu is so far the only Southern leader who has the balls to stick a finger up to the Northern hegemony without fear or favor. For long the North have been allowed to get away with a lot of things in this country and our useless and cowardly Southern leaders would always suck up to their nonsense all in the name of currying Northern interest for political experiency.

I doubt even Obi would have the heart to take and implement some tough national decisions and measures that Tinubu is taking right now.

Nigeria must move on with or without the North, it's time for every subnational and state government have complete accountability for the running of its respective state's, it's time for state governors and legislators to actually stop being lazy by always depending on FAAC allocations from Abuja (which majority end up stealing without any evidential inputs and audits on how these monies are spent for the well being of the people).

It's time for certain states to stop leeching off on taxes generated from other productive states while they bring nothing to the national coffers of the nation, if this tax reform bill will force some useless governors, LG chairmen, and house of assembly legislators in the South East to sit up and start working knowing that there will be more visibility and consequences for their actions from the people since the excuse of "not getting enough allocation from Abuja" will no longer fly, then I think it's only smart for every logical thinking Igbo person to support the bill to be passed, and I hope our SE reps don't slack on this one.

Local Government autonomy, tax reform bills and the only thing left for Tpain to implement is state police creation and we might just be heading towards restructuring and fiscal federalism for the first time since regional government.
You don't know what you're saying with regard to the southeast
Igbos should never support the bill for any reason
There is nothing for us there; the gainers are the yorubas who already record high economic, high VAT-generating activities in lagos and ogun states because of the large concentration of companies and businesses there.
And these businesses are owned by Nigerians from every inch of the country.
Which investments are in the SE that will generate high VATs and taxes for you?
You don't know that an overwhelming majority of Igbo businesses are outside the region, especially in Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Abuja and Kano?
These states will have all the VATs from transactions done in these businesses, and at the end, they will still partake in the FG allocations generated from other states and regions.
So, tell me how the SE will gain
Our problem is taking knee jerk reactions without sitting down to analyse things, make consultations to determine how policies will favour us before deciding on which side to take.
We'll lose massively if that yoruba-sponsored bill is passed. You can see the level of joy they're having from your misguided post.
We cannot help them enjoy the lagos all Nigerians built alone, while they still receive monthly allocations from crude oil mined elsewhere
It doesn't depend on whether the north would be the highest losers or not. We will be co-losers with them, and we should oppose it just as they're doing.
Regional decisions shouldn't be based on such infantile sentiments, but specifically on how it will benefit your own region and her people.
If Tinubu and his supporters are serious, they should go for full resource control, so that they can keep their VATs and taxes while others keep whatever is generated from their natural resources.

My point is, show us the numbers let’s see and decide. Don’t pass this bill in such a hurry when it’s not fully understood.

From what you posted, you don’t fully understand it yourself, because you should be able to tell me that in August 2024, instead of N663 million, Abia was supposed to generate N7 billion if companies had paid VAT to Abia and not their headquarters in Lagos.

Show us the numbers before we decide, that’s my point. Don’t just confuse us with “states will generate more if this and that happened” and we blindly agree to what we don’t fully understand.

FIRS has the data, show it to us. Don’t be in such a hurry because it’s suspicious
Don't mind those guys; they know the game they're playing.
If they're serious, they should go for full resource control, and not just VAT/tax bill that will favour them.

Tinubu and his lagos boys are only focusing on VATs and taxes which will favour lagos and ogun states while they keep partaking in the other revenues generated from crude oil and others

If he's serious, he should go for full resource control so that all the oil producing states will keep their revenues, while lagos and ogun states keep their VATS and taxes

It's because they care about their own people and region and understood the game the yorubas are upto.
This is a yoruba battle being fought for their own benefits

That VAT bill will favour only Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, +/_ Delta, Oyo, which have high concentration of companies and business activities and thus generate large amounts of VATs, while the generality of states will suffer.
It's not by mistake that every yoruba man breathing is pushing for the passage.

I don't make stupid arguments.
Lagos and Ogun states get monthly allocations from FAAC, with the revenues generated from natural resources mined in other states.
Are you so dumb that you don't know about this?
If you are clamouring to keep all the VATs generated from the businesses within your states, you should also loosen your grips on the federal allocations which is generated from other areas

So, let there be full resource control.

Right now VAT is charged at source with this bill it would be charged where it's consumed not where it's produce

IMO has a GDP twice Ogun so it has more economic consumption activities so would get more VAT
Go and do your homework well.
VAT being charged where goods are consumed doesn't change anything.
A massive number of Nigerians and their businesses are in lagos and ogun states because of their strategic locations; so far more goods will be consumed there and more economic activities recorded there than in any other state in Nigeria.
This is what Tinubu and his lagos boys want to take advantage of.

Those states can't keep sharing from the revenues generated from resources in other states, while keeping the bulk of the VATs generated within their boundaries. And it's not like those VATs are being generated from mostly yoruba businesses!
