okoolori: Tell how much you guys contributed to the VAT and Tax from your region? Apart from propaganda and lots of shenanigans your region contribute one of the lowest VAT of any Nigerian region yet collect the heaviest from the central pot.
Ondo state produce crude oil than your region. Please don't add South South. Don't forget that crude has been discovered in Bauchi and other Northern state and soon now they will add to the quota as well. The North have the most richest man from Africa yet you are the developer of every region. You make so much noise about marginalisation but your governors has been collect big funds from the FAAC since 2023 and yet nothing to show for it. Security votes in millions to billions yet nothing has been done to the IPOB menace except for sit at home Monday and you all come here to spew nonsesn
Yet you rather die in one Nigeria and continue to share your humongous revenue with others rather than have every thing to your self. Empty chest beaters
WizardOfNG: Keep lying to yourself. No greater and more formally organised advocates (DAWN commission) of regional autonomy than the law-abiding Yorubas who know that secession is an exercise in futility as long as it is decreed an act of treason by the Nigerian constitution.
The Yoruba, through the work of the DAWN commission, have an impressive and well-illustrated 'road map' for the development of the SW, through regional integration.
This is in in contrast with you empty and insincere Biafra noisemaker yet to produce one articulate document about the precise methodology that will aid the socio-economicgrowth and development of Biafra. All you do is make empty noise.
Furthermore, Yorubas remain in their region the most of the four major ethnic group of Nigeria (i.e Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and Fulanis) showing they are happy with themselves and their land.
Whereas you lawless lot who make Biafra gaslighting noise daily, you know our constitution forbids, are the most parasitically dispersed Nigerians by far.
If hypocrisy and insincerity were a group of people on Earth then everyone knows who those people are.
Another worthless trash. Who gives a f..k how many documents you produce. My question is why don't the most productive region with highest revenue, igr, vat don't want to be on their own so that they will not be sharing their revenue with other unproductive regions. Empty drums
What makes you think us soldiers will step foot in Nigeria. When they have drones and fighter jets with guided bombs, precision missiles and satellites
WizardOfNG: Don't mind him. Their region, for example, contribute one of the lowest VAT of any Nigerian region yet collect the heaviest from the central pot.
I could give ten examples of their parasitism on the rest of Nigeria that shows the poster you responded to, and most of his ethnic kinsmen, are delusional and brainwashed with tales from infancy of how great they are and how they are "developers" and saviours of others.
No greater empty barrel on earth than those lot.
Yorubas claims to generate so much revenue and vat. Claims to be the most productive region. Yet Yorubas are scared to death of being on their own. They are scared of keeping all the so called revenue they generate for themselves, they rather fight to remain in one Nigeria and keeping sharing their revenue with unproductive regions. Empty barrels
WriteerNg: The 2 most important men in the Ukrainain military, Syrskyi and Budanov are currently in Pokrovsk trying to organize the city's defense.
If that doesn't tell you how important this city is to Ukraine then I don't know what will.
When Russia finally captures it, the clowns here will say it's just a tiny city with no value.
They're already beginning to say that it took Russia one year to do that, when we all know Russia only just entered Pokrovsk about 4 months ago.
After pokrovsk there is no major city all the way to dnieper River. Also its open marshland no where to hide from drones. Lastly no major rails to supply Ukraine troops
Swore might be right but again Nigeria govt has refused to end the killings because they and their families are heavily protected. If govt can't secure Nigeria then grant Nigeria the right to bear arms to secure them selves
Kemetian: You speak ONLY for yourself and your minority 'tribe', which is just one out of 300 ethnic groups in Nigeria.
You do not and cannot speak on behalf of real NIGERIANS, who constitute the overwhelming majority.
And no. We won't ''forget AI'' just because you don't like what it is saying.
The AI you are quoting is American invention but you are here claiming powerful. America doesn't need to invade Nigeria to fight terrorism. Just freeze the accounts and assets of Nigeria leaders, sharply they will sit up
zero8zero: Mike Arnold is a hustler, the money the enemies of state paid you will soon finish. He was embarrassed seeing Reno Omokri at the TRT World Forum where Reno Omokri was dismantling the ideologies of colonialism and exposing the corruption in Europe and America. Mike Arnold was embarrassed that his propaganda against Reno Omokri did not stop World's influencers from inviting Reno to talk to them. Bitter people and enemies of Nigeria will keep losing.
So after dismantling colonial ideologies of Europe and America. He decided to leave and raise his children there rather than come and leave in Nigeria. What a joke
DeLaRue: Lifting figures from several countries with disparate African economic situations and comparing as if they are like for like doesn't provide a credible picture.
You can compare data from various European countries with one another, because the fundamentals in one country are usually similar to those in the others.
In Africa, the differences between Nigeria and Morocco,or between Nigeria and South Africa are to wide for a simplistic like for like comparison.
Also, as the economy improves and salaries increase, the minimum income tax threshold will increase from the current N800,000 (I think) per annum.
Let's start from here.
After 2 years or so, labour unions CSOs, and workers themselves can start mounting pressure on the government to increase the threshold.
The economy needs to be on a stronger footing first.
We can't compare ourselves with Morocco, South Africa or even Kenya in terms of per capita income.
It is not just about a large population and size of GDP. Nigeria is not as rich as most people think. But it can become a lot richer if we do the right things.
Did you even read what you typed. Let me help you. According to you let govt tax people earning 67k a month. When the economy improves and salaries increase, govt should tax less. If salaries increase should govt not tax more
Psiyohos: Now that it seems that Nigeria is now on the path towards autarky and true sovereignty and dumping the dollar in the economic bin were it belongs.. Mr Trump sees us as a country of Particular Concern. ha! No, Thanks J. trump we don't need your help, Just like Palestine doesn't need your help the United States is an agent of disarray, Nigeria has finally gotten it right don't become agent of the devil to sell your guns we are achieving our independence and secession by peaceful means. He might come and rile the gullible Igbos who will buy into his idea of a forceful separation and cause violence in the East again
There are peaceful means of resolving crisis and we are working it out
Everyone knows you are a sales boy for Lockheed and you need Nigeria to become violent so that you can sell weapons. Obama haven't yet come clean about his involvement in Boko Haram, you want to bring another "aid" to us.
using your own words stay In your Country
there is no longer genocide in Nigeria we are governing ourselves, we are quite living besides it.
Oga you want to dump dollars in refuse bin. Abeg no vex in which currency would Nigeria receive its crude oil sales?
WizardOfNG: I have noticed it is you, OP and your ethnic co-travellers supporting the so-called coup with all manner of excuses. You even ignorantly cite a "toxic tax policy", trying to make the crime fit the man (Tinubu) by force, to describe beneficial tax reforms you know nothing about expert globally have endorsed .
If I recall correctly one poster, Maxymilliano, even praised those locked up for planning the said coup as "heroes".
Even long before now, you have begged for a coup desperately to remove Tinubu. Your pastor advised Remi Tinubu to poison her husband so he would not sworn in.
You guys never learn. The Igbo coup, and the inital revenge coup it precipitated, plus the many that happened afterwards once your fathers and grandfather had set the precedence, is the cause of virtually every negative thing Nigeria has become today.
You should take note of what Kperogi wrote, repeated below, which is the reason many wise, responsible and critical-thinking folks , including Kperogi himself, have not been saying much about this coup because they understand the grave consequences it portered for Nigeria if indeed such an incendiarily ethnocentric coup had been planned and succeeded.
Unlike you immature lot who, like toddlers, don't think of long term consequences of actions once you want a certain outcome badly.
Personally, I have not said anything about the alleged coup and won't say much beyond this post. We make our beds and lay in it, as men, after the consequences arrive.
Although that is never the case with you 'cut your nose to spite your face' lot who, for example, followed Kanu and co blindly, thinking you were taking the battle to Fulanis, yet you have now destroyed your own region and done damage that will take decades to repair.
You want Tinubu out so your Igbo Presidency dream can materialise? Embrace democracy and achieve your objective that way. Lies, propaganda and support for what will potentially destroy countless lives, so you get your way, won't lead to your Igbo Presidency ever.
It's amazing how you waste your time typing this long rubbish. Who do you think has time to read this bumkum
How did he bow. This is diplomatic language. There is a Chinese saying we judge man by his actions not his words. The Chinese are watching his actions closely ready to mirror him tariff for tariff
PigTormentor: As usual, projecting your miser. able lo w life on others. I know that you guys are experts at projecting your life on others. Same way your brothers and sisters dealing drugs in India are the same group calling others drug baron when in fact that's their entire life. Stop projecting your life on others, it only exposes you for who you are.
This tells you that the north and south west will battle it in 2031. The north will want power to repay the sw. The sw will be scared of losing all these positions tinubu has given them to the north
Imagine if every minister, governor, head of parastals are carrying their children on official assignment. It means defence minister matawelle will carry his 35 children with him if he travel for official purpose
Who valued these companies for this amount. Sabi for 300 million dollars. Andela that is struggling for 700 million dollars. Some of these start up should release their 5 year statement of account.
