"The document listed the various 2021 definitive projects under the purview of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) to include the Nigeria Integrated Power Projects (NIPPS); Calabar, Geregu, Omotosho and Benin (IHOVBOR); Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN); Zungeru Hydro Plant; Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST); Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) and the Nigeria Film Corporation (NFC).

Others are the Federal Capital Territory Water Board; Abuja International Conference Centre (AICC); Save sugar company; Lagos international trade fair complex (LTFC); Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS); River Basins Developments Authorities (RBDAS); Bank of Agriculture (BOA) and the Nigeria Commodity Exchange (NCX).

Most of those in bold letters are regulatories institutions. Selling those is like exposing the whole of that sector to the whims and caprices of the buyers. For example selling River Basin Development Authorities (RBDAS) is more abrogation than delegation.

There's definitely some misinterpretation.

I think tracking of Bandits would be easier if the telecos service are available, unless the military grade tracking service subscription have been not paid as alleged.

Likewise the NIN wuru wuru is also a flash in the pan.

Zamfara is more or less in a total shutdown. All schools are closed, all markets are, farms deserted and now telecommunication shutdown. Something bigger than we could imagine is actually happening in that part of the country.

Politics / Re: States Government, Not FIRS To Collect VAT Federal High Court Declares by Housing(m): 5:24am On Aug 10, 2021
donaldwhal:
For companies resident in a state, it may be a bit easier to interpret but for companies that render blanket services like the telcos, it won’t be easy to know who to pay their VAT to.
The way it’s done in the US is: every arm of government has its own tax rate on every taxable item. Once such item is ‘consumed’ tax return (amount) automatically goes to each arm of government as per the rate set for such item. There’s nothing like sharing the whole VAT/tax centrally again. And some states have various taxes that are different from other states.

It is very easy airtime and data sales in each State are computed on monthly basis. LIRS do checks appropriate books to do that each months. Just little adjustment for States that have well structured taxation frameworks.

The Federal High Court in Rivers state that's in Wike's pocket. Let us hear what the courts in Abuja will say...

Going by the details of the judgment, it is very clear without any ambiguity that the FIRS has NO BUSINESS with collection of VAT and other related taxes.

Most Nigerians and States institutions doesn't know know their rights. You can see from the leadership qualities of few enlightened State Governors most of the unnecessary, unwarranted and illegal powers of the government at the center is being dismantled.

Politics / States Government, Not FIRS To Collect VAT Federal High Court Declares by Housing(m): 10:33pm On Aug 09, 2021
COURT DECLARES RIVERS STATE GOVERNMENT, NOT FIRS, ENTITLED TO COLLECT VAT, RELATED TAXES IN RIVERS.


The Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has declared that it is the Rivers State Government and not the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), that should collect Valued Added Tax (VAT) and Personal Income Tax (PIT) in the State.

The court, presided over by Justice Stephen Dalyop Pam, has also issued an order of perpetual injunction restraining the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the Attorney General of the federation, both first and second defendants in the suit, from collecting, demanding, threatening and intimidating residents of Rivers State to pay to FIRS, personnel income tax and Value Added Tax.

Justice Pam made the assertion while delivering judgement in Suit No. FHC/PH/CS/149/2020, filed by the Attorney General for Rivers State (plaintiff), against the Federal Inland Revenue Service (first defendant) and the Attorney General of the Federation (second defendant).

The Court, which granted all the eleven reliefs sought by the Rivers State Government, stated that there is no constitutional basis for the FIRS to demand for and collect VAT, Withholding Tax, Education Tax and Technology levy in Rivers State or any other State of the Federation, being that the constitutional powers and competence of the Federal Government is limited to taxation of incomes, profits and capital gains which does not include VAT or any other species of sales, or levy other than those specifically mentioned in items 58 and 59 of the Exclusive Legislative List of the Constitution.

The judge dismissed the preliminary objections filed by the defendants that the Court lacks jurisdiction to hear the suit and that the case should be transferred to Court of Appeal for interpretation.

Justice Pam, who also dismissed objection raised by the defendants that the National Assembly ought to have been made a party in the suit, declared that the issues of taxes raised by the State government are issues of law that the court is constitutionally empowered to entertain.

He declared that after a diligent review of the issues raised by both the plaintiff and the defendants, the plaintiff has proven beyond doubt that it is entitled to all the eleven reliefs it sought in the suit.

The court agreed with the Rivers State Government that it is the State and not FIRS that is constitutionally entitled to impose taxes enforceable or collectable in its territory of the nature of consumption or sales tax, VAT, education and other taxes or levies, other than the taxes and duties specifically reserved for the Federal Government by items 58 and 59 of Part 1 of the Second Schedule of the 1999 constitution as amended.

Also, the court declared that the defendants are not constitutionally entitled to charge or impose levies, charges or rates (under any guise or by whatever name called) on the residents of Rivers State and indeed any state of the federation.

Among the reliefs sought by the Rivers State Government, is a declaration that the constitutional power of the Federal Government to impose taxes and duties is only limited to the items listed in items 58 and 59 of Part 1 of the second schedule of the 1999 constitution as amended.

The Rivers State Government had also urged the court to declare that, by virtue of the provisions of items 7 and 8 of the Part II (Concurrent Legislative List) of the Second Schedule of the constitution, the power of the Federal Government to delegate the collection of taxes can only be exercised by the State government or other authority of the State and no other person.

The State government had further asked the court to declare that all statutory provisions made or purportedly made in the exercise of the legislative powers of the Federal Government, which contains provisions which are inconsistent with or in excess of the powers to impose tax and duties, as prescribed by items 58 and 59 of the Part I of the Second Schedule of the 1999 constitution, or inconsistent of the power to delegate the duty of collection of taxes, as contained in items 7 and 8 of Part II of the Second Schedule of the Constitution, are unconstitutional, null and void.

Lead counsel for the Rivers State Government, Donald Chika Denwigwe (SAN), who spoke to journalists after the court session, explained that the case is all about the interpretation of the constitution as regards the authority of the government at the State and Federal levels to collect certain revenue particularly, VAT.

"So, during the determination of the matter, some issues of law were thrown up like, whether or not the case should be referred to the Court of Appeal for the determination of some issues.

"The court noted that the application is like asking the Federal High Court to transfer the entire case to the Court of Appeal. In which case, if the court so decides there will be nothing left to refer back to the Federal High Court as required by the constitution."

According to Denwigwe, the court refused that prayer and decided that the case was in its proper place before the Federal High Court and to determine it.

Donald Chika Denwigwe, SAN (middle) lead counsel to Government of Rivers State and Ken C.O. Njemanze, SAN (left) briefing journalists after the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt on Monday declared FIRS collection of Value Added Tax in Rivers State unconstitutional.

Speaking on the implication of the judgement, Denwigwe said it is now, unlawful for such taxes as VAT in Rivers State to be collected by any agency of the Federal Government.

“In a summary, it is a determination that it is wrong for the Federal government to be collecting taxes which are constitutionally reserved for the State governments to collect. The implication of the judgement is that the government (Federal and State) as an authority under the constitution, should be advised by the judgement that it is the duty of all government authorities to comply with and obey the law so long as the court has interpreted it and said what that law is.

“So, in other words, the issue of Value Added Tax (VAT) in the territory of Rivers State and Personal Income Tax should be reserved for the government of Rivers State.”

Counsel to FIRS, O.C. Eyibo said he will study the judgment and advise his client.

Family / Re: Mother Or First Son, Who Is Entitled To The Late Father's Property by Housing(m): 9:39pm On Aug 09, 2021
Your friend only assisted his father, how can a son giving support to his father in completing a building project now become right to claim ownership.

That building belongs to all the acknowledged children of his father include his father's wife who happens to be his mother.

He should use the money he intended to complete the building to invest in a good business that will make that property insignificant to him.

He needed his mother's prayers and blessings more than he needed that building and marriage.

He should appear to his mother and seek for her forgiveness.

With God's grace through his mother's prayer and blessings he will be able to achieve even more than he could ever imagine.

I don't wanna take my life because my life is what more than that but what do I do..Help pls

If you continue to borrow from one loan app to pay another. In less than 3 months you will be indebted up 500k.

Try to avoid any interest attached loan for now. You equally need time to regain your sanity. Don't borrow to pay back loan. You can borrow only to do business and make sure it is without any interest.

You can start paying back when you are financially stable.

Thank you.

I’m a mom of 2 beautiful girls & would love to have a son next.

1. Sex at the beginning of your ovulation

2. Let your man cum first. Your husband doesn't need extra effort. Time to procreate is different from time for sexual enjoyments.

3. Most men that usually cum late use to have females.

God blessed me with 3 boys.

I pray God answer your prayers.

That one is in power today shouldn't be an avenue to make hateful statements, kill innocent freedom agitators and label them terrorists. If Nigeria is working who will call for balkanization of Nigeria? Why will a reasonable person be rejoicing for killing innocent children but you pray to God to keep your own children? Posterity will not forgive those who are promoting genocides. The same rudderless government is giving amnesty, ruga and changing the dictionary name of terrorists to bandits but can't send these hardened killers to God but are searching for freedom agitators to send to God. God is not a partial God. In no time, the rewards for your actions will return to you.

I proposed to her and she said yes...I plan going her house next month next to start official martial rites but I'm afraid.
Here is my reasons

I we

Most of the people saying you are not matured for marriage got it wrong. You are in a good age for marriage. Even if you wait till you are 54 and her your fiance is 52 before getting married you will still experience marriage issues, and life challenges.

Marriage experience can't be bought nor learnt in abstract. You can only get it when get married.

I am in my mid forties, most of our friends that got married their mid and late thirties are now facing what we that got married in our twenties had been able to overcome.

You can report to the police and get her arrested. Then press for charges. At that stage you may involve a lawyer.

But if you just want them to warn her. It is equally possible.

It is highly commendable that you didn't retaliate. Next time try to avoid such fellow and be at alert when dealing with known troublesome individuals.

It is equally Bidia for Sultan to be declaring day for Arafat. Why did he waits till Saudi Arabia authority's declared sighting of the moon before he declared his own?

Every Muslims knows that Arafat and Eid-Adha day can only be determined based on sighting of the moon in Saudi Arabia alone unlike Ramadan and other Islamic months.

This is not within his prerogative, Arafat Day and Eid-Adha can only be declared by the Saudi Arabia authority as it is the Arafat Day and not any traditional ruler.
