Very funny set of people.

Northerners themselves can never attack the Yoruba's because of this Seyi's statement, I don't even think it's something they can reason, but those who the matter for no concern, involve already put it to head like gala

Shame oo

helinues:
What's all this incoherent for fcs? It's too early now

helinues:
Dumb gaslighting.

You will see other Yoruba's correcting Seyi on this thread. We don't support evil, we don't support disrespectful, we don't support arrogant and unmannered attitude.

Spade must be called what it is

helinues:
You are a disgrace to Yoruba's for disrespecting others . Where is your cultured lessons?

Shame on you Seyi

SmartyPants:
Which litany of issues? There is one core and very simple issue: he who generates the VAT should enjoy the lions share of it. It applies in the same way across all the industries you mentioned. Let telcos pay their VAT where it is earned. And so on for every other business.

Up until now the majority of taxes generated in Lagos have been shared across the Federation, so how do you justify an argument that Lagos was deliberately set up to be the commercial hub in order to attract these taxes - - when the State has never collected its fair share of what it generates??

And who would have been responsible for that anyway?? Who is this person or persons that sought to grant Lagos such an advantage? lord Lugard? Ahmadu Bello? Nnamdi Azikiwe? Gowon? Lol.

SMH.

What is it with all these oil companies brouhaha sef? Naaa only oil companies get money niii? You never hear of shipping companies, banking and telecoms, construction companies? Haba

That is a falsehood. Lagos makes the vat it does right now because the head office of moist companies are in Lagos.

Under the changes the vat will be credited to the states where the product was consumed.

An example: all the vat on Dangote cement, MTN, Glo, airtell first bank, Zenith etc is currently attributed to Lagos. If you buy cement to build houses or concrete roads in Ebonyi the vat goes to Lagos. If you make a call or bank in Ebonyi the VAT is attributed to Lagos. Under the new law if passed the vat on the cement, telecom and banking services in Ebonyi will be attributed to Ebonyi state.

So clearly the vat that was going to Lagos will go down, the vat going to Ebonyi will go up. Lagos and Ebonyi will keep 60% of their vat and the rest will be shared amongst all states so each state will actually get more than 60% of its VAT.



This will encourage governors to attract development to their states because they will get more money from VAT from activities in their states.

1. Jesus Christ of Israel is clearly reported to have said that He was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel, so your statement here clearly calls Him out as a liar.

2. All this is inconsequential since you are equally here calling the Jesus Christ of Israel and His Father, YHWH of Israel, out to be liars. You say you are disgusted by this Mohammed fellow but here you continue to invoke the mention of a man who you also deem a liar! So, what exactly are you on?
