DoggoneDogg:
The picture depicts Oyo state.
The incident happened in Oyo state.

The picture is of a village that had no relationship with where the incidence occurred.

I hope you understand sir..

I thought you were a bit rational, I never thought you are just one of them.

DoggoneDogg:
Oga that's Oyo. Follow the image address & see for yourself

Nawa to you oo

How does the picture relate to the story in anyway?

DoggoneDogg:
Didn't happen in Ibadan. Just Oyo

The picture is not even taken in Oyo town

That is a village Photoshopped to the story for the exact purpose of mockery.


Are you new to Nairaland?

Why take a random picture of an unkept village to represent Oyo State?

The picture is not even in the original story.

Blackfire:
You thought Benin empire is like your mushroom � empires



Like you said this is about vat, the FG should continue collecting the tax


North2023

Yes, it's actually a Six local government empire these days.

And how does Benin mushroom empire supports your argument for Fg to continue collecting VAT?

Blackfire:
Educated illiterate
Because Egypt of today is rule by arabs from the desert does that means it wasn't owned by blacks

Or Because the native Americans now live in conservation and the immigrants now becoming mayor,presidents does that make NA not the owner of there lands

Historically Benin names are still irremovable...like idumota, EKo,IDUMAGO , obanikoro and so on, I hope you know that oba rilwane akiolu has benin ancestry

You can just come from ogbomoso to claim lagos


Incase you don't know...North2023

Your argument even as half-witted as it sounds defeats the logic behind the argument.

So can the native americans now claim America from the Europeans that once were settlers as you claim?

Can the Blacks now claim they own Egypt without the Arabs throwing them out?

So what makes you think the original "Edo owners" can chase the "Yoruba from Ogbomoso" away from Lagos today?

Having said that, idumota is not the only place in Lagos

What about Abule Egba, Ikoyi, Epe, ikorodu, Ajegule etc..

What is the Edo names of those places?

OneTemplate:
Correct talk brother. In fact Lagos would thrive spectacularly once free of the repressive encumbrance of "one Nigeria" which, to me, is a term signifying a pathetic situation where a people exist to keep each other down and underdeveloped.

They don't know that the ports will not cease to exist once Nigeria break

They don't know Lagos can't be moved from the current location and will still continue to benefit from the populations surrounding it even after Nigeria must have split. It will serve as a major entrepot zone.

They forgot that without the large population in Lagos, Lagos in it self can become a tourist destination because of the numbers of beaches and other natural attractions in it.

OneTemplate:
Lol. I can tell you for free that the first sign of a loser is that he remains fixated on dubious past glory perhaps because he is nothing in the present and knows he will remain nothing. Hence the need to create fantasies about the past.

Even indulging your idiotic revisionism, why is an Edo not Governor of Lagos today and why no single Lagos State Senator or Rep who is Edo?

How many local Government chairman in Lagos of Edo origin? Why is Lagos State legislative house not full of Edos? Loser.

Even if Lagos belongs to cameroonians and filled with Germans..

The argument is not about Lagos ethnic nationalities but about the economic prospects of Lagos..

I believe Lagos should be allowed to keep atleast 50% of what it makes to further develop the State.

Blackfire:
First of all lagos is no man's land
By tradition and historical facts it belongs to the Benin ogiso dynasty ,not yorubas


Secondly, lagos is made up of all Nigerians including all that is inside


Thirdly all this noise about state collecting Vat is a ploy to a southern sinister...well let me tell you the status quo remain


Incase you don't know ...North2023

Even the ogiso dynasty no longer holds water in Benin city itself.

What they have is an Oba just like Lagos.

Nothwithstanding, the argument about Tax collection has nothing to do with the ethnic groups that makes up Lagos.

Enugupikin:
There is some sense in what he is saying ,Lagos can't stand alone without the rest of Nigeria. Those corporate headquarters too and the ports and all that stems from the Nigerian people

Just like the federal highway in your state and any federal building in your state.


Let's forget that Lagos was already economically viable before the advent of Nigeria for a second.

And Lagos can stand alone. There are lot of tiny island Nations around the world that are far Richer than Lagos.

only Lagos, Oyo and Rivers will truly want State government to collect VATs in Nigeria.

proeast:
Something doesn't add up in these figures. Ebonyi actually generated far higher than any other SE state How is that even possible?

This is only VAT now

it's not all the taxes.

Eboyin has more natural resources than most states in the southeast.

Kyase:
South east or south south should have it

If it’s coming to North then NC should have a go
But you see that south west
Make i see how dem go take win presidency

The only North Central that can ever rule Nigeria will come from Niger or Nasarawa state

Benue can never produce President under the current arrangement in Nigeria. Fact!

Southwest would have produced presidents twice over before Benue can be considered for VP.

Akeredolu much as I admire you, please just speak for South West from now on.




The South East has another agenda.

I don't get why some ipob members are shocked at FFK decision to the extent of insulting the great Yoruba tribe.

FFK always stood a better chance of winning elections in Anambra or Enugu than he did in his native ife township.

It's ridiculous to think FFK represents anything or anyone on Yoruba land.

Praxis758:
Great to hear that. Pro. Williams Alele of Uniben was the first female VC

Ibadan maja-maja to fi n k'arawaju leru
Ilu Ibikunle, Ilu Ojo, Ilu Ogunmola o wo kembe re 'bi ija
Ilu to ni oke n'pekun
Ilu ti n gb'onile ti n gbalejo.

Yes, Alele was the first but only by few months.

I don't know much about the oriki ibadan tho but I am omo Ibadan proper.

Praxis758:
What's her name?

Professor Jadesola Akande

The first Female professor of Law in Nigeria and second woman to be a VC in Nigeria.

Nigeria is something else these days

My late Aunt was the first female vc of Lasu and she is from Ibadan.

Positivepoint:
Lagos VAT inclusive of international trade like the VAT on custom duty, port dues etc.

Yes it does

But guess what! It's only the only state with port

And Lagos is not the reason your State doesn't have a functioning port, if it doesn't

When we are done with VATs, we are coming for a greater share in the tariffs generated in Lagos ports

Positivepoint:
VAT is has already been paid buy the dealer before the product is shipped i his where house in Kano or Enugu. what happens is the transfer of that vat already paid to the consumers in Kano or Enugu.

The fear of decentralization is multiple taxation because Kano or Enugu will also insist on collection of same vat already paid dir by increasing the price of products and making consumers pay double.

Do ur research or simply buy anything from jummia or konga. Even though u r in Kano or Enugu the vat u paid will be remitted in Lagos.

This is a very silly statement.


In that case, Ogun state should generate the highest VAT in Nigeria because of the numbers of manufacturers in the state.

So all times ShopRite charged 7.5% vat on my receipt, they are paying the manufacturers.

So Vat is paid to the company not the federal government

I am done arguing with you.

And Perhaps let's just assume that the VAT in Lagos has nothing to do with the large consuming population in Lagos.

Positivepoint:
Most manufacturers have distribution channel for there business.

If indomie company sold 1m cartoon of indomie to a dealer in Lagos or anywhere the dealer pays inclusive of VAT.

Wherever the product goes VAT is already paid to the company at the point of purchase and transferred to consumers at every level of the distribution channel.


I am a dealer of a manufacture in Lagos and I pay inclusive of VAT for their products.


Now these companies remit the same VAT through Lagos because they have collected VAT at the point of every sale to there distributors.

Most manufacturers have dealers in every state with large warehouses in every state or at least in every region of the federation.

Just like I said before, you have no idea of how VAT works.

The tax is collected directly from the warehouse in most cases, just like VAT is collected directly from ShopRite outlet and or other supermarkets in most cases.


The VATs of the goods sold in Kano or Enugu is not received in Lagos but remmited by the major distributor in Enugu through the FIRS in Enugu.

Manufacturers can't pay VAT before the final consumers buy their products.

You need to stop trying to sound like you know what you are talking about.

Positivepoint:
South West contribution to vat is as a result central report of vat collection by HQ of major businesses.

Examples all Telco, banks, manufacturers whom have there HQ in Lagos pay VAT collected centrally from there HQ.


If u buy recharge card the vat is not paid in ur state but paid in Lagos.

The vat on ur bank transaction is paid in Lagos. Etc


The huge VAT remittance in Lagos is as a result of central collection and of vats paid by consumers from all over Nigeria collected band paid through corporation how's in Lagos.

Vat is paid buy consumers of products and services.

Decentralization of VAT will see IGR of other states imporve and that of Lagos reduce.

You don't know what you are talking about


VAT is called value added tax or the tax added at every stage of production as value is added.


In reality the final consumers get to pay VAT and it's never centrally recorded.

Vat is a very difficult tax to collect and it's only collected in places where sales of goods can be captured.

Omoluabi1stborn:
Just imagine
Bauchi, Katsina, Jigawa collecting more than Ondo, Akwaibom, Abia.
What kind of nonsense is that?

I really want to know what is being done in Jigawa.

I can't recall any industrial activity of note in the state.

I am even willing to allow Bauchi and Kastina stand for the sake of argument but what's the rationale behind Jigawa if not for the rigged population census.

The south west contributes the most VAT too

Lagos Ogun and Oyo(particularly ibadan)

But why is North West collecting more than the South South that contributes the next largest Chunk.

Northerners generally don't pay tax under the current tax regime.

Kyase:
Buhari can't be redeemed

Southeast should brace itself for the presidency
I have 73 sure votes for them

Good luck to them

I am tired of Nigeria nonetheless.

Kyase:
Nobody did

So you have finally given up on Buhari?


What's your angle?

Kyase:
I'm not voting for any Muslim candidate again

And to any incoming Christian president, do as the current president is doing.

That tolotolo in aso rock should get ready to leave
Shey na next year only remain

Did someone hack your account.

hammer567:
FFK IS A TYPICAL YORUBA MAN.



TRUST THEM AT YOUR OWN PERIL.



NA ANYWHERE BELLE FACE, STOMACH INFRASTRUCTURE.

Umahni and co that now dance to tune of the cabal in Abuja are also yoruba too Right?

FFK is just like every shameless Nigerian politician out there

The major problem with the crackhead is that he talks too much.

Forgive him for what

bullshit

Na Im dey sleep with your wife
