Igbos are not attaching to anyone it's rather others that are actually attaching themselves to the igbos by doing everything to change the narratives and make them look as if their rich lands are dry and unproductive just want to make that clear bye.

Which part of SS is Ibo land ?

This madness of claiming SS as ibo land must stop henceforth.

isio1:
Let's not stir unnecessary controversy here, if you want to see a very significant improvement in the VAT collection from the SE and SS, the Federal Government should decentralized the "PORT" and allow the clearing of goods and services take place in this two regions.
Then you will see a significant drop in the VAT collected in Lagos and some other States where these big-time importers do their businesses.

Stop yoking SS into any conversation about your SE.

Moroccoguy:
U can't judge with this kind of assertion, Ogun state should be 1-3 if we are talking of the industry and production.

Must be a typo .

Because Ogun is supposed to be in third or fourth place after Rivers.

Stanna2025:
Congratulations to more looting ahead. Wike is the greatest beneficiary of this criminal government cause no one is scrutinize his projects and allocations

Your collective share of FAAC allocations for 8ys straight is sitting in a Panamanian offshore account and in shareholdings in a brewery and Fidelity bank.

JealousCobra:
Squandering tax payers money on non existing projects .

2027 is near

This is not Anambra and Wike is not Peter Obi.

LagosOrigin:
Tax payers money been squandered for rubbish reasons and they now rub it on our faces

Nigeria deserve this monsterous APC government walahi


Things like this don't happen in saner climes, only in Nigeria where thieves run the country .

Which tax do you contribute to the national purse ?

Ordinary VAT your entire region can not meet that of Oyo state.

Abeg go and sit down.

zinowealth:
Lol this govt have shown that once you lack Shame, you can do anything without minding.
It is good to build and develop and it is also good to be properly accountable. Especially a public servant.

What is this one spewing ?

I see Wike is looking more vibrant and energetic.

Thank God he is now recovering from the poisoning they inflicted on him for chasing Ipob out of Rivers.

Ride on Emperor.

Ttalk:
Succinctly state. No SE leader ever clamour for resource control
Gbam

They are against constitutional reforms and no other politician from the SE epitomises this more than Peter Obi who was videoed telling a gathering of northern elders and politicians in 2022 as part of his campaign that he will ensure the 1999 constitution remains intact.

Same Obi has been quoted saying that there's nothing wrong with the constitution and that Nigeria's problems are down to only "bad leadership" to which he said he is the only qualified candidate to bring good leadership which he never gave Anambra people during his disastrous 8ys as governor.

ultraviolet27:
But why are they persecuting traditional religion practitioners in anambra state?from akwa okwuko and so many others to this person now what is this native doctor's crime now? how are you now different from the other abrahamic religion people?yet you criticize them for being a fanatic!

I don't know why you can't tolerate other religious adherent apart from your own soludo instead of fixing the rot in anambra gully erosion, flooding,bad roads, insecurity etc he is busy doing misplaced priorities.very jobless imp yet if the mohameddans born your churches and houses you will start weeping what is the difference soludo should be on the government seat forever and shouldn't leave nah.

Because they are at the very core fueling all manner of criminality .

They have been fingered as being central to providing charms (whether effective or not) to armed robbers, kidnappers and terrorists which provides the criminals a confidence boost to carry out their nefarious activities.

They are also integral in recruiting drug mules as they provide fortification rituals which gives the drug mule a sense of invisibility.

In the area of money rituals, that involve human sacrifices, they are the main people providing such diabolical services that has seen to many misguided youths going about murdering innocent victims to be used in preparing charms.

Even yahoo boys are their main customers.

They offer nothing good to society but only fuel superstitious nonsense that makes society far worse

arantess:
they always post tax numbrs every 3 months yet, their regions are suffering more than others

Their region is suffering according to you but there's a net negative migration from your SE to their region that sees to 24hr one way bus movement from your SE to their suffering region.

I hear you.

If it was so good in your SE, why must all of you be scrambling to run away from it and having the SW as your number 1 preferred destination ?

Mrexcell:
That's false igbos will always support resource control because they also have their own God given natural and human resources the only people who are ready to go to war to stop it are the north and sw stop the false narratives and propaganda here.

Prior to Yaradua passing 13% this is how FAAC earnings was shared.


The legal framework governing revenue allocation in March 2002 was established by the Allocation of Revenue (Federation Account, etc.) Act. Under this Act, revenue was distributed among the three tiers of government using the following vertical formula:

Federal Government: 56.00%
State Governments: 24.00%
Local Government Councils: 20.00%

The 24% allocated to states was then distributed among individual states based on factors including:

Equality: Equal share for all states.

Population: Based on population size.

Land Mass: Proportional areal size.

Terrain: Wetlands, plains, and highlands.

Social Development: Measured by education (primary/secondary enrolment), health (hospital beds), and water (rainfall/territorial spread.

So you can see why SE politicians were opposed to resource control for oil producing states.

So pls stop lying that SE never opposed resource control when they where at the fore front kicking against it and hid under Obasanjo's third term proposal to jettison the oil resource control bill that was being debated alongside Obasanjo's third term bill.

My friend, Wabara led a walkout from the red chamber when the issue of 25% derivation to oil producing states was being debated by the Senate.

Wabara will later state that the resource control bill for oil producing states getting 25% was not in favour of his people and region.

I will search the archives for the video of when he made that statement.

Prior, to 13% being granted, all SE states collected more from FAAC revenue that was based on population distribution only.

SE has progressively become worse off since Yaradua passed 13% to oil producing states.

Search annual FAAC allocations to states in the year 2000 and compare it to when Yaradua passed 13% in 2008.

The SE also sided with the north during the offshore -onshore dichotomy which was only resolved by the supreme court ruling

Without that ruling, Akwa Ibom oil and gas fields that were located offshore did not benefit the state.

But after that ruling which coincided with the tenure of Akpabio, the state began it's journey to where it is.

SE remains the greatest obstacle to Southern emancipation especially the SS.

obonujoker:
I hope you can see the Antichrist policies being pushed out on a daily basis in Nigeria.

Imagine a government trying to ban Bus preaching, and before we know it they will enter pulpit to ban more.. as we are aware, "give the devil a long spoon"... So I must ask as Christian, what do you really gain from this Muslim Muslim government?

You sell your fellow brothers and sisters because of political gain, and you also know and are aware that People who do such things just as Esau did, are already on the pathway to destruction.

So take a retrospective look again, and ask yourself, as I Christian, should I be supporting such a wicked government.

More Antichrist Policies will be rolled out in the coming days, and it will still affect both Christians and all...

Maybe the imaginary Pretribulation rapture is still Deceiving you

Shalom!

The bill originated from the House of Reps where it was successfully passed before heading to the Senate where it is under deliberation.


Where were your representatives when this bill was being debated and later passed by the House?

And for your information, this bill is even watered down version of what you have in Israel that criminalises Christian proselyzation and bans the circulation of the New Testament and Christian religious tracts.

onuman:
And you fight tooth and nail to have a group that contributes only nuisance to you in one country. Brilliant persons will quickly eject any group that contributes nuisance to them.
Lust for cheap cash from crude oil has turned off the brains of you lot.

My friend, no body is against you leaving Nigeria.

Your Kanu was not convicted by a court of law for secession but for terrorism

And FYI, there's no law that criminalises seccesionist agitation.

Because there's no provision for secession in our constitution all thanks to Zik does not mean that agitating to leave Nigeria is a crime.

You should vote in people who will agitate at the grassroot up to the National Assembly for your exit by ensuring an amendment to the disastrous 1999 constitution which your Obi said is perfect.

I bet that no one in the SS and SW will oppose any talk of including seccesion clause in our constitution.

When you have done that, and you are granted a referendum to leave , let me see who will stop you.

Even Arewa took the FG to court to grant you guys your Biafra but what happened? Did your Ohaneze not go and beg them to withdraw their case from court?

Abeg, dont disturb us with your fake secession agitation as we both know you guys are not one bit serious about it.

Richtaiwo:
Rivers State alone produces more than 10 times the oil in the entire SE, yet ranked second in the VAT generation. Stop this useless combination of SS and SE. They are not together. Talk about your southeast alone. The 5 SE should be merged as one state.

Don't mind that one.

He will lump SS at any given time to his SE and future Biafra because he knows the SE is dead and barren.

onuman:
You eat through divide and conquer and rule.

Since Tilumbu administration began, una begin de churn out fictional statistics to water your ego in the SW.

No be only.

Even your Obi is against resource control and he made it a cardinal campaign point to northern politicians and elders in Arewa House .

Why did no single SE state join Lagos, Rivers and Delta to take FG to court over VAT collection and sharing formula?

You guys contribute nothing but nuisance .

Mrexcell:
So u are not even aware that states in the 9 niger delta states that includes imo and abia states have been fighting for resource control? So u think they are all happy collecting only 13% of their God given resources while the rest 87% is used to develop other states without any natural resources?

You are liar.

At no time has any SE politician or group advocate for resource control and oil production in the SE is negligible when even compared to that of Ondo state.

SE only became marginally productive during GEJ tenure and this was after Yaradua had granted 13% to oil producing states.

Same resource control agitation that all SE senators staged a walkout when Obasanjo proposed 25% to oil producing states .

The only reason SE even has marginal oil production going on is due to after Yaradua passed 13% and SE politicians lobbied GEJ later on to grant drilling licence to local oil producing firms that are wholly owned by Ibo politicians/business men

At no time has SE ever fought for resource control .


Even your Obi swore to a gathering of northern elders in Arewa House , Kaduna that he will maintain the status quo if elected and not allow for resource control.

Who do you guys think you are googling with your lame lies?

floss:
Guy even in rainfall you're putting tribalism into it... everyone expects the best from Lagos because of everything it enjoys... Both revenue generation and federal allocation... Exchange that with Abia state, and watch if abia state won't be under constant scrutiny if performance is below expectations...

To whom much is given, everything is expected....

Carry your tribalism and go and roast corn or fry Akara...

So for pointing out the stinking hypocrisy from your side's refusal to put the flooding in Abia due to infrastructural failure as you do whenever it rains heavily in Lagos , I am not a tribalist ?

FYI, your tribalism trope doesn't work on me .

Abia is a failed state and needs to be merged with Imo.

onuman:
Because the SE wants a separate country from yours.

But will your dependence on crude oil and gas deposits in the southeast and southsouth allow you to let the SE go?

You de count VAT as if you understand how VAT works.

Which oil and gas production is going on in your SE?

Stop confusing the entire SS to be part of your Biafra .

Lol.

They are now manufacturing lambas that Giringori was protective of northerners when he was governor when this is the very opposite.

No amount of lies and propaganda can change the average northerner on how they view Giringori as a bigot and an Ipob sympathiser.

Okoyeeboz:
May ko, September ni.
He wants to use guesswork to calculate electoral outcomes.

No wonder he used 4 years to carry 3rd class in the University.

He actually spent 8ys according to his fake certificate .

greatiyk4u:
But VAT is all about consumption not production and how has una life been better with the assumed high production?
Beggars everywhere in Lagos, I was shocked seeing beggars in front of EKO HOTEL AND LANDMARK AREA

VAT in Nigeria is collected at point of production because of the inadequacy in collecting from the informal retail sector.

That aside, VAT revenue generation per states exposes that the SE is by far the least productive .

Even if VAT is collected at POS , it will not end collection at point of production, that means all other states and regions will still generate more from VAT earnings.

The issue isn't just that VAT exposes how unproductive and dead the SE economy is but the sharing formula adopted still relies on population figures and a paternalistic support from the FG to prop up dead states which is why the SE collects over a thousand percent more than it contributed .

aswani:
Kai, this is dissapointing to watch sha. Being fact checked by a foreigner, ouch.

Doesn't this man have (savvy) media advisers around him or does he just ignore them anyway?

I guess he is saying what Obidients want to hear as they will now go into another frenzy watching this.

His notoriety for lying and emblemishing the truth to fit his false imaginative narrative is going international.

Let him continue to drown in his own lies and hubris.

Self deceit is the most Darwinist thing anyone can subscribe to .

He will only go politically instinct by believing his own lambas .

greatiyk4u:
You know this but still celebrate ignorance, why didn't Tinubu succumb to the rejection of partial electoral act, . national anthem change, judiciary salary increment and the rest that benefits him and his cronies?

We are here to be putting the record straight

What is this one diverting to?

My friend VAT generation exposes that the SE has the least production output.

tanigororo:
Production companies are even exempted from paying VAT, VAT only applies at consumers level. Luckily for them the less it's being collected from your state, the lesser you get.

Wrong.

Companies pay vat on the electricity cost consumed during production and on every other sundry inputs of production


There are also custom officers on site to compute both excise duties and VAT for every commodity produced.

The reason for this was because Nigeria has a huge informal grey sector that makes applying and collecting vat at point of sale near impossible.

VAT then is collected at the point of production there by making SE the least productive region.
