Politics › Re: What Some States Contributed To The VAT Pool And What They Received - Nov 2024 by Odingo1: 6:46pm On Dec 19, 2024
aswani:
I have answered this before.

With the Tax Reform bill, the headquarters of every single one of those companies, without exception, is now in play to other states VAR wise.

Their government just needs to give them, and their employees, nice "sweet heart" deals which might include tax breaks.

Those states governments will have to work harder to come up with something better than Lagos state and that includes some long term post-present administration stuff. Infrastructure improvements etc.

But would states prefer the current system of lazily folding thief arms and getting handouts rather than making an effort to take a bite out of Lagos state?
There is no bite out of Lagos here, federal might is used to force all companies to have their headquarters in Lagos. Regional government will force all companies to have their selling point headquarters in various regions and pay tax where their products are consumed.

I will only take Yorubas serious if they can support regional government. They know that SE have the potential to govern theirselves, with standard International airport and functional River ports, SE will survive. SW and North are hiding under centralised government of Nigeria to hide their incompetence. People buy a bottle of cococola in Anambra and pay the VAT to Lagos. Bunch of jokers

As if you don’t know how Nigeria system operates. MTN, oil companies, banks can’t relocate their headquarters because states don’t have power to do so. Regionalism is do that.

If everyone was controlling it's resources, how on earth would have Imo State with about N200m VAT contributions few months ago be able to survive 🤔

Smh. Lagos was already an economic hub over a century ago. It will take your state another 100 years to be where Lagos was 60 years ago.

That's a picture of Lagos in the 1960s o
Use one of the old western states to make noise, not Lagos that was developed by Nigeria common wealth since 1914. Lagos is not part of old western Nigeria. Very soon now Gbaji people in Abuja will start making noise on how they develop Abuja from time immemorial.

How can someone recharge a card and calm from kano then vat goed to Lagos? How can oil companies that operate in the creeks send vat of their employees to Lagos?
Are you new to Nigeria or what huh huh ?, that is the reality of Nigeria current tax system , VAT are paid to where the company are registered not where the product is consumed, the reason for agitation for tax reform. Lagos take it all, oil headquarters, Mobile network headquarters, Bank headquarters, only access to seaport and international airport and lot more.

Lateef73:
Nice one.

Asaba and Agbor people celebrate Benin festivals. They are all descendants of Benin Kingdom
Descendants of Bini that forgot their Bini language and be speaking Igbo, bearing Igbo names and practices Igbo culture and traditions. No single traces of Bini in them.
Culture › Re: Ikwerre Celebrate Their Bini Ancestry In PH Using Billboard by Odingo1: 1:00pm On Dec 18, 2024
The indigenous language you speak without external colonialism defines who you are and the tribe you belong. Ikwerre culture and spoken words are of Igbo ancestral descent, no matter how Ikwerres try to deny being Igbo they will end up speaking Igbo dialect of Ikwerre in their homes. So is difficult for them. Had it been their language is not Igbo but a close language to Bini language, people will take them serious, the argument whether they are Igbo or not will not even exist.

Some people are clamouring for Goodluck Jonathan to come back in 2027, someone that many part of Nigeria see his administration as a failure and fought tooth and nail to remove him in power by replacing him with Buhari.

For Nigeria to move forward, recycling old leaders that once had the chance to make Nigeria great but failed will not take Nigeria anyway but more hardship and deeper mess. Why not support the likes of Peter Obi or the chairman of African development bank Adesina and see what they can do

How many times do you hear about them in the news unlike the ibo vagabonds. They are quiet, seeing only to the cultural associations. But you see those iPods. Even in the SE, every 2km is a different monotonous community. Always looking for opportunity for chest beating
Focus should be on Fulanis that invade peoples land and grab it by force by killings rather than Igbos that only do business and are harmless but only chestbeat about their achievement.

Politics › The Reason Why Ikwere And Aniomas Will Remain Igbos Forever by Odingo1(op): 8:56pm On Dec 09, 2024
In the whole world, what defines you as a person is the language you speak and when you are indigenous to that language without colonialism then you belong to that particular tribe. For example, someone from some part of Togo who they call their language ife or Ewe which is a Yoruba dialect can say they are not Yorubas but in reality the language they speak is the same with the Yorubas of Nigeria, so wether they are not Yorubas their language is the same with Yorubas. They hear each other without any difficulties.

So for Ikwerres, Igbankes in Edo and Aniomas, them and the Igbos speak the same language and hear each other. So whether they are Igbos or not, they are from the same language heritage and speak the same language with variations which they call dialects.

Seaport when there’s no SE state contiguous with the sea?

You have Onne and Calabar Ports which are functional

Enugu Airport is an international airport just like Lagos airport is

What exactly is your problem with comprehension?

Use what you have like the rest of the country has
Is a big lie, Onne and Calabar Ports is not working, there no commercial activities there, only oil companies use Onne ports. Enugu Airport doesn’t operate international flights without stopping in Lagos or Abuja.

If River Niger was to be in the north which is not too far from the sea, they would have dredge it to sea with oil money to be receiving big ships, you and I know that one, let’s stop lying to ourselves.
Politics › South West And The North Lock Eastern Nigeria Up And Claim Being Accommodating by Odingo1(op): 8:36pm On Dec 09, 2024
South Eastern Nigeria is totally locked up by joint corroboration between Southwest and the North and then turn around and blame people for flocking to Lagos the former capital of Nigeria developed with oil money.

No functional international airport or Seaport in the east. No FG presence. Everything in concentrated in Lagos and the North.

I wonder why you will seize everything to yourself and turn around to say people are coming to Lagos where you keep everything.

Who is interested in your land, let’s assume you have Niger Delta Republic, Ikwerre and Anioma will remain Igbos in your country as language they speak is Igbo dialect. There are indigenous Igbos in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, does been in those countries make them not to be Igbo or Yorubas indigenous to Cotonu or Togo are not Yorubas again.

You don't get my point at all. When rivers politicians tell you they're not ibo, that they're from rivers despite the obvious in their names, that's politics. They're ibos. Imagine wike saying he's not ibo that rivers aren't ibo or biafra, isn't that a joke? Deep down his throat, he knows he's ibo but for political relevance, he's denying his roots.

Same goes to amaechi when he was in politics. He had said it several times that he's not ibo meanwhile he's from the Igbo speaking tribe. But he's saying that for political relevance. The majority of rovers people speak Igbo. Hope you got my point clearly now.

Imagine itsekiri people saying they're not yoruba when they knew they migrated from our land. If an itsekiri person speaks,.I can clearly understand. That's what I'm saying.
The correct spelling of Igbo is Igbo not Ibo, stop typing British giving name of Ibo removing the g sound in Igbo.

That is perfect description of you people who came all the way from Israel. Amaechi is it an Israeli name?
You came stole and language and turn around that the original owner of the language copied your language.
We have been asking this question: what is Igbo word for YES? You couldn't copy this.
You are saying rubbish, there is no part of world where humans copy language. Your indigenous language defines who you are. Ikwerre speaks Igbo dialect and Igbo people didn’t copy any language from Ikwerre 2 local government of population that is not upto 2 million people and Igbo population of more than 50 million cannot copy language from minority.

It seems they have igbo roots. My aunty is ikwerre and speaks igbo fluently, also her native language that seems to have some igbo in it. My paddy maxi orlu okey is also ikwerre and speaks both igbo and the other native language discribed earlier.
Their language Ikwerre language is a dialect of Igbo language, it is wrong to say their language have some Igbo in it. Everything that Ikwere is speaking is Igbo but for political reasons some are denying not being Igbo. Other Igbo language spoken in different dialects include Anioma in Delta ( Ika, Ibuzor,Enuani,Ukwuani, Asaba, Igbanke in Edo State). Every central Igbo person hear what they say and they also hear central Igbo without any difficulties.
Politics › Re: Sanwo-Olu Presents Investment Strategy For Purple Rail Line Project by Odingo1:
Nigeria should be regionalised so that other states can also develop like Lagos. As it stands now in Nigeria, Lagos is taking other states resources, Lagos have oil headquarters that belong to other states, have seaports and international airports and block others from having through federal might. Bank headquarters in Lagos. All VAT paid to Lagos.

For some Yorubas this is right because it benefit them, that is why Nigeria is not working. Let’s every state and regions be given equal opportunity to thrive not only one state taken it all.
