Naija used with good history?? Is there anything like that? I don't think there's a credible way to get a vehicle's history in Nigeria.

You may know the owner and quite familiar with his maintenance habit. When I bought a new car a few years back, a guy who knew me kept begging that I sell the old one to him because he knew how I had been taking good care of the car.

We are coming for our ports. Don’t worry. You will tell us if it is your papa that put the port there or it’s our inheritance as Lagosians. At least 60% of people working at those ports should be from Lagos.

We know you guys like to dey make mouth- yoruba thugs.

FreedomArmy:
you know its detrimental to health yet you want to collect vat proceeds from it. Oga the average life expectancy of an average southerner with all the alcohol that they consume is far higher than that of a northerner.

You can keep on drinking away your life - nobody in the north begrudges you on that.

Chai, Buhari has practically stopped this igbo man, what's his name now, OK i remember, Ned Nwoko, from marrying yet another 18 year-old kid. Let him reign in his virgin-seeking diick for now.

ojsmscom:
Another problem you fail to mention is that the nothern controlled firs will collect 5billin and declare 5billion and use the undeclared sum to support terrorism

The same way south-south domestic terrorists aka militants are perpetuating terrorism.

Triangles1:
I don't know why this people are running away from their religion to another Man land.

Christian is a peaceful religion always accommodate, no any Muslim country help this folks, they abandoned them like trash.

Yes o, don't you see the way naija Pentecostals used to love tb Joshua. Very peaceful indeed, in fact world war 1 & 2 were caused by non- Christians. Even the English anglicans love Irish Catholics to the death. Peaceful Christians from US imposed war on Afghanistan killing thousands of innocent civilians - yes o, adherents of peaceful religion perpetuating murderous violence!

AmazingELixir:
You see why after 5 attempts you are yet to pass your O Level exams... an obvious case of too much ingestion of cow urine ..

Now I repeat the question again with a little more clarity since you're cerebrally very weak "Is Abuja a Northern state or a territory carved out and administered by the central government?"

Carved out of the south, abi?

Redcrafton:
SE are parasites?

Pic 1. NBL beer factory in Enugu...

Pic 2 . HisbaI/slamic police destroying bottles of beer.

...and yet Kano and Kaduna takes more from VAT on beer produced in the East than the SE states...and you say SE are parasites?

How are you able to walk along the road?

Yes, some states are full of drunkards while some have a only a few. Nobody is quarrelling with that.

PeaceJoyLove:
A don talk am. Lagos will die there. The brain that Asiwaju (Jagaban) and Prof Osinabjo used to box OBJ to corner when he was the president legally with law to collect taxes is still there. I am telling you, since Lagos has joined Wike, FG has lost VAT. Forget it. Lagos will die there cos they know how much they are making from taxes. Oh! All VAT from Tin Can Island, and Muritala Muhammed Airport.... Yee Paaaa! Lagos don win lotto. Jagaban and his warrior will die there. All VAT from oil companies for River alone...jack pot....lol. Dem no send Buhari and Abuja. If this will break the little friendship remaining btw Buhari and Jagaban, I know Tinubu will not send. All other SW states have joined. Dem no send Buhari. I keep saying it that SW is the fore runner of this Nigeria. Only that Igbo should wake up too. Igbo Kwenu. Let's go there. E no go better for anyone wey say Naija no go get better. Let's go.

Are you serious?Tin can, MM airport and other key federal establishments pay Vat to Lagos govt? That won't ever happen - and Lagos govt can nothing about it. All this VAT noise is just dancing to the gallery ahead of 2023 election. Hahahaha, Wike for president!
Truth is, central collection of Vat is even more cost effective. The only issue is distribution formula- 20% allocated to contribution and whopping 50% to equality. Without resorting to dishing out stupendous bribes to corrupt judges for favourable judgement, sanity should prevail by reviewing the distribution formula, giving more priority to contribution. Simple as ABC!

franktech:
You must be a Northerner no doubt. Let Lagos money remain in Lagos, Yobe money remain in Yobe and Anambra money remain in Anambra. What is bad about that?
Even all the pill Money should remain in Niger Delta and all the importation money should remain in Lagos.
I am from South East but want Lagos to keep their money for themselves. The north is not contributing anything to the purse and still want to call the shots.

Work hard and earn your money. Stop being a parasite

You're a joker, no doubt.

AmazingELixir:
What myopic view...So Abuja is now a northern state...even have the temerity to compare Rivers and Kano VAT input at 6% to 5%. Better wake up to reality and recheck your data source.

Next online is complete resource control...by then your current tears will turn red.

In your dysfunctional ipob brain Fct is in the south!

Militant30:
Let the states collect it and let it end in the their pockets and not someone who will ban alcohol and other essential products and still want to benefit from the largeese that comes from alcohol.

It's a great injustice to humanity.

Why are you guys obsessed with alcohol. God didntcommand you guys to be drinking alcohol, something y'all know is detrimental to health.

Buhari is really trying as regards security
in SE - see how armed hoodlums are being taken out ruthlessly.

Men, truth is bitter. I know the north is silent calculatively. Let Wike and Co make all the noise, the silent north knows how to play the underground game. Hahahahaha, you just have to give it to north willy- nilly.

AroleOduduwa2:
South East leaders will seat and fold their hands when other region are working effortlessly to make a meaningful impact, but wonder why no body takes them serious when it comes to national issue

SE states are parasites - they contribute next to nothing to the national Gdp. North produces agricultural products, south-south produces oil. Without the north everyone will starve. Now you know why SE governors have to be silent.

richmond500:
As a Rivers man, this VAT sweet me but is the common man going to gain anything?

People have been begging Wike to pay pensions, he has been deaf to their request and punishing Rivers people. Now to collect money, he is at the forefront.
The common shop seller who doesn't know VAT, will be tormented by Wike's tout from now on, I like this VAT ruling but Wike's not doing this for the state, he is just being selfish.

God bless you. I have said it before that more revenue does not necessarily translate to better service delivery. Imagine, Wike is wasting hundreds of millions all over the place but is refusing to pay pension and gratuities to elderly people who served the state all their youthful years and are now helpless!
On VAT, many people are being misled into thinking only northern states will suffer if central collection by FIRS is stopped. But that's far from the truth. FG will immediately rake in over 50% of the present collection by taking all of collection on imports. At present there is only one percentage point difference between rivers(6%) and kano (5%) contribution to Vat collection. Kano, kaduna and fct contribution is more than that of SE states combined.
Wike is just dancing to the gallery.

fourboys:
so why are they running away?

The ones running away betrayed their country by aligning with the crusaders.

Ogaga87:
I disagree with you completely.. I live in Lagos and drive also.. Our reckless driving is number one in the world.. If everything is well organised then govt can now look into that..


A country where people sleep at traffic light or those that get carried away because of too much thinking and they are about to hit you, you must call their attention with something and for me in Lagos, I don't joke with the horn.. Behind some trailer you will see HORN BEFORE OVERTAKE

What you have now is a babel of noise. How does every car blaring horns all at the same time help any one of them?

motayoayinde:
WHO ELSE HAS NOTICED THAT THE MODS HERE HAVE CONSISTENTLY REFUSED TO PUSH ANY THREAD ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE TAKING SHAPE IN AFGHANISTAN TO THE FRONT PAGE EXCEPT WHAT IS RIDICULOUS AND FAKE?

NA DEM GO TAYA.

ISLAMOPHOBES.

The mods have fallen to the propaganda against Afghanistan. Fact is, Taliban muslims have inflicted a crushing humiliating defeat on western Christian forces led by the Americans. The only thing left for the humiliated crusaders is try to undermine the gallant forces that chased them out of their beloved islamic homeland so disgracefully. For 20 years Afghanistan was held captive by disguised missionaries, but the people didn't fall to the false propaganda of the crusaders.
Moral of Taliban victory:
1) Light will always overcome darkness.
2) Even if a lie had been travelling for 20 years truth will catch up with it one day.

The govt should order horns to be disabled in all vehicles. That will help reduce noise pollution considerably.

Exam malpractice used to be the exclusive preserve of the south, especially SE. Now they have exported this evil practice to the north. Investigation may even prove that the perpetrators are non- indigenes from yonder.

Commentor:
There's no conclusive evidence it was an inside job.

Thats not to say it couldn't have been.

They obviously have no evidence to charge Khalifa Sheikh Mohammed but they're holding him in detention to save face. If the govt releases him that will amount to unwittingly admitting the formidable inside job allegation.

God bless Buhari for ending the #Endsars rascality so decisively. Look at the lies the mastermind of the needless mayhem are cooking up. Useless nonentities!

That's razor bumps. If you love yourself stop using razor to shave your genital area. If you don't like it bushy, trim carefully with a nail scissors( take your time, though).

Patrioticman007:
The illiterate pastors that failed to teach you about Jesus son of slamming his head on the floor are to be blamed not you.

Bros, don't be surprised that the next revised edition will twist mathew 26:39 or even delete it.

why do people come to nairaland to exhibit utter idiocy. Americans arrested Ksm as the mastermind of the 9/11 attack. Under the law he is absolutely innocent until convicted. Now, Ksm has been held by the Americans for 20 years allegedly being tortured and has never been tried. Yet stewpid people come here to call him names. May God save his servant Khalifa Sheikh Mohammed from the hands of his tormentors, most of them claiming to be Christians.
Most of these mumus do not even know that leading American experts have shown conclusive evidence that the incident of 9/11 was an inside job. Google "9/11 doubters" and learn more.

Nodogragra4me:
Yes. Right from their website

Can also use their app to do same..add channels, drop channels and buy vouchers

Thanks

ChiefSosa:
The carpenter that constructed Buhari's trousers needs to be whipped with barb wires and then banished forever into the wilderness. That carpenter is a wild animal

The trousers are igbo made; it's appropriate for Buhari to wear it in the heart of igboland.

Thinktwicemybro:
Covid 19 is a scam. People dying of other causes are blaming it on covid 19.

Obesity on its own can kill. You spend all your time on tiktok and you are here blaming covid.
If I kick you with this trouser now.

Buhari wore the igbo-made trousers to the heart of igboland to make a statement.

Nodogragra4me:
Buster, I have never been to any office to subscribe...i remove channels and add and buy vouchers while sitting in front of the television..... Not for one day have I have cause to visit any office for anything apart from the day I bought

Did you pay online for the vouchers? I ask because they have never introduced it to me at their office.

CR777:
They already know they won't be getting free money again from Lagos and Rivers state VATS.
They are just trying to create more avenues to generate money.
Next is to unban alcohol and even cigarettes. Religious blinded fools who has failed to realize that Islam aka religion of piss has done more harm than good. Bunch of terrorists.

Who said aboki can't think when put under pressure?
Kudos to Wike.

Ipob miscreants always exhibit ignorance - kano and kaduna states contribute more to Vat collection than SE states combined. BTW, there's only one percentage point difference between rivers(6%) and kano (5%) Vat contributions. The issue with Vat in Nigeria is not the centralized collection by FIRS, but the formular used in distribution - states like Lagos, kano, Rivers, fct who represents 87% of collection ought to get a fairer share.
