Aboki99: 1.) Obajana, one of Dangote's cement factories based in Kogi State, is the biggest cement company in Nigeria, nay Africa.
However, all VAT payabale from Obajana (which sells the bulk of its cement products in the North) are captured under Lagos because the parent Dangote Cement Company Plc was REGISTERED in Lagos.
2. ) Savannah Sugar Company based in Numan, Adamawa state, is the biggest cement maker (not processor). It converts raw sugarcane planted, grown and cultivated in Adamawa, Yobe, Taraba, Jigawa etc into final-user sugar.
However, simply because Dangote Sugar Plc was REGISTERED in Lagos, all the value added (planting, growing and cultivation of sugarcane etc) tax (VAT) that Savannah Sugar Company, Numan pays are recorded for Lagos.
These are just two examples of how Lagos SHORTCHANGE other states.
Yet Tinubu wants to increase the share of LAGOS's VAT because he thinks northerners are stupid and cant understand elementary economics of VAT.
That is exactly what Tinubu want to correct saddists and damaged soul. Because of your hate, Tinubu want to correct the failures of 42 years of Northern Presidency of nothingness. Have some shame and let retracted wisdom flourish
eldoradoxx: If the President does not have the powers to suspend a Governor, then i wonder where Governors derive the power to suspend elected Local Government Chairmen. It is illegal
Lack of quality education is the problem with many of you. Otherwise, you would have realized that the State Houses of Assembly have the power to suspend elected LGA Chairman
Validated: Mr. It is confusing me is the worse governor in Nigeria checkered democracy. Even with the supreme Court ruling on LG Autonomy, one would have expected the Edo State HA to be learned in Law Making and not Law Breaing.
My ask is that NASS should urgently suspend governor Okpebholo for groo misdemeanor and misappropriation of funds.
Apart from lamentations, nothing good ever comes from you. Like father like son
The Federal Government should please deploy this project to Abbi, Ndokwa West LGA, Delta State. We have enough land to accommodate all Federal Government projects please. I am pleading with all the concerns. They don't actually need such in the East
Atuero: Appointed man threatening elected LG chairmen
Put body naaaa. Yeye Nairaland brats like you. You lament about everything. Even when you see solution, you are blinded by hate because of your defeated mentality. Put body first
Whatever cures your schizophrenia on Tinubu, is welcome. So long you can bear the burden of your wereyism till 2031, everything you do is welcome 🤗😁🤗😁🤗
OduduwaNow: How did this man that can't pronounce 605 Billion became a Senator talk more of Governor.
I am sorry but your daddy and uncles that can speak Queens English couldn't even win the head of family contest let alone town union Odogwu. Unfortunately, your chances are becoming slimmers as you daily roam in the mud of social media.
Next time, contest or support your father to win elective positions. All these born bitters. As Una hate Tinubu reach, today he is the president of your life and generations, so shall Okpeblo rule over your life.
Bebigiby1: Tinubu is a highly corrupt dubious individual that has no business being the president of any country.... he remains a threat to Nigeria's progress and I will comtinue to call him out for the damage his government has done to the country, who gave the order for IGP to file fresh charges against Farotimi?.... Your shameless tribalist posts here only exposes how empty you are....
If he can be the president of your parents, your land, community, State, tribe and nation 😁😁😁, the shamelessness should be worst with your lineage that he governs. All these yeye children roaming about like Ekpa and MNK/IPOB
Tinubu removes all doubt he wants Dele Farotimi incarcerated....?
Tinubu's grand children don't even have Dele Farotimi time let alone Seyi talk less of the likes of Iyaloja abi na Remi. Abeg, Dele should face his cofighter. Na Babaola stooges dey even deal with Dele, not even Afe chamber SANs abi A'fé himself.
You can hate Tinubu just the way you disliked your parents, but kindly accord him some respect as the president of the whole Nigerians home and away plus their territorial residents
Says a man who could not concede peacefully when he lost woefully. Apart from Jonathan, more than 90% of Nigerian politicians are fake and hypocrites. The polarizations is what boost their networth as they farm on the ignorance of the mob supporters. See Obi of yesterday "I no go gree" and ATIKU "since 1996" presidential conundrum speaking and inferencing.
MadPolitician: There is nothing in this case. Absolutely nothing. A good lawyer will not just get Speed Darlington released, he will also get him a handsome amount for inconveniences and breqch of his fundamental human rights by the police. So because he asked Burna Boy if PDiddy did to him the same thing Diddy was alleged to have done to his other visitors, that means libel?
Asking a question is now libellous offence in Nigeria?Just because he said Burnas mother must kneel the same way his mother knelt before he stops antagonising him, that is breaking the law. Is there any legal injuctions preventing Speed Darlington from ever mentioning Burnas mother name? Was that statement even an insult? Or is Burnas mother the mother of Christ that she can never be mentioned in any conversations by ordinary mortals?
Ahbegi..
Why don't do the same thing you are encouraging Darlington to do? Or, why don't you do the exact thing you hailed others for? Na who follow Una be nzuzu
Is it free, abi there's a paucity of Nigerian schools ni?
🙄
My dear, sometimes, our people just like creating problems where none exist. It is called Indian, China, Hausa or Japanese school for a reason. Everything, just looking for excuse. Pathetic
JohnMo2: Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, on Thursday, gave the Federal and Ekiti State Government 48 hours to release a human rights lawyer, Dr. Dele Farotimi from remand or face mass protests.
Frank who made this call in a statement in reaction to the remand of Farotimi, called on Nigerians to occupy all police stations and formations in the country should the government fail to release the rights activist unconstitutionally within the stipulated time beginning from when he was remanded.
An Ekiti State Chief Magistrates Court, Ado Ekiti Division, had on Wednesday, ordered the remand of Farotimi, in the state’s correctional centre.
Farotimi was arraigned in court over alleged defamation of character following his book, ‘Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System’ where he alleged, among others, that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Afe Babalola, had compromised the Supreme Court.
However, Frank said there is more to the arrest and remand of Farotimi than the alleged defamation alibi.
He said the remand was a way by the Federal Government to intimidate and harass Farotimi for often criticising the anti-people policies of the President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
He condemned the arrest and remand of Farotimi even as he condemned the police and the judiciary for turning themselves into the oppressive arm of the present administration.
According to him Farotimi doesn’t deserve his current travails because he is a man who believes in and respects the rule of law.
“Farotimi is a man of truth, a man of principle and a defender of democracy. If they believe he has done anything inappropriate, they should have invited him peacefully and he honour their invitation rather than the way he was arrested and subsequently remanded on an alleged offence that is bailable under the Nigerian law.
“This shows clearly that it is not because of the petition from Afe Babalola that is making them to give Farotimi this highly dehumanizing experience. There is more to the arrest because Farotimi is known to be a vocal critic of the government.”
Frank, who is the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) Ambassador to East Africa and the Middle East, called on Nigerians to join in the fight to free Farotimi from remand and equally stop the government from using state institutions to oppress and suppress Nigerians speaking out against their dictatorial and hardship-inducing policies, saying, it is Farotimi today, it may be another Nigerian tomorrow.”
He quoted a German Pastor Martin Niemöller who said: “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
So, Timi don't have any other useful positions in life since he left APC as deputy whatever? Nawaaaooooo, Everytime, "former deputy publicity secretary of APC....".
