Mo An Ikwerre man can here Igbo Language but the Igbos can't understand most of their words. After all the Igbos chased them out of ibo Land giving them a name tag called OSU (OUTCAST)

numericalguy:
BIG FAT LIES FROM THE PIT OF HELL
Ikweres are not genetically related to Igbos in any way. Ikweres are more genetically related to Yorubas

ALL THE WHOLE BASTARDS IN NIGERIA NOW HAVE PHD ON IGBO, EVEN WEN THEY CANNOT FIND THEIR FATHER VILLAGE OR KNOW HIS CULTURE.

flokii:
I'm still trying to figure out how a party with only 1 Governor out of 36 States and FCT can be claiming they won 2023 Presidential election.. una be wetey o.

Okupe should stop stressing himself.. no vacancy in Aso rock till 2031.

ben1daEbiri:
That means Germany colonised have of Europe since English, French and Dutch were derived from Germany.

You see how you're being clever by half?

Igbos born in Lagos that can speak yoruba are yoruba abi? Yoruba are Benin people since they share words and culture abi?

You're logic is very flawed. You guys always make claims without asking questions. Some of you always claim Omoku but don't even know any roads leading to Omoku. We just celebrated Nchaka festival, why didn't you come and witness it then ask questions to know a bit about the culture but you automatically declare that Ogba is Igbo.

You lots are funny

XXXOGBA:
Na by force to be Igbo?

We no be Igbo.

BondRiv:
And you guys call others unity beggars? Shame small na. Haba! It's not by force.

ben1daEbiri:
So that makes Ogba people Igbo? That means all Africans that speak Afrikaans are Dutch or all Dutch people are Germans by you logic.

You people should continue begging for unity, we'll have nothing to do with is people

Zik moved the capital of Eastern Nigeria from Calabar , a coastal city to Enugu all out of tribal sentiments.

Before there was Abuja, Enugu was fulfilling that role with all the resources from the region concentrated in developing an inhabitable Enugu.

Instead of developing Calabar to rival Lagos, tribal sentiments saw Zik move the capital in 1960 to Enugu from Calabar. If not Calabar why not PH? And after doing this , Zik went to Lagos to be dragging it with Yorubas.

It's really appalling that such a large city as Enugu can not fix the water problem.

What's stopping successive governments from piping water from Orji river or 9th mile and using the surrounding hills as gravity pumps to households? For where! Instead a cartel of water tanker operators were left to operate and this same cartel are composed of very powerful people connected to governments that will not let the government to invest in a very simple centralised water supply system. Just imagine the revenue that the state government can generate from simple water works.

VEHINTOLAR:
If you're looking for an argument on this,I won't even oblige you. What I know for sure is that the Ikwere are not Igbo!

XXXOGBA:
My language is Ogba, and it has three dialects.

VEHINTOLAR:
PH is not Igbo land, so what's your point?

VEHINTOLAR:
Beautiful Ikwere land!

XXXOGBA:
Lie. I'm Ogba. We are not Igbo.

XXXOGBA:
We are not Igbo

bigboa:
Very succinctly put.

VAT is a consumption tax. This means it measures the economic activities reported in each state.
Some states like Kano may have a higher level of commercial/economic activity but what VAT is telling us is that a large portion of that data is not being captured.
The idea is simple: State governors have the responsibility to improve their states commercial and economic levels which will then boost the microeconomy (ie standard/cost of living metrics) in the states. The federal government's responsibility is to manage the macroeconomy (security, exchange rate, foreign policy) which it is already doing.

For too long, the federal government has taken on the responsibilities of the states and local governments and while not being able to cater to those responsibilities adequately, the federal government continues to falter and fail while handing a free pass to the state governors who feed fat while doing nothing.

aswani:
Fine, who after Tax Reforms have kicked in, will stop Kano state giving MTN a good deal to set up their headquarters in Kano stae? Or some of their factories producing cards etc up there.

It is the laziness mindset of not thinking out of the box because we are guaranteed monies monty that we don't have to account for that nerds changing, and not just for Northern states.

ggood:
but anambra doesn't share boundary with Atlantic ocean

erico2k2:
SO Bornu with unrest contribute more than Imo State or am I reading it wrong

aswani:
The get other states making a play for the headquarters of the Telecomms organisation to attract the VAT.

What are they scared of, competition? Lagos seemingly isn't, why should anyone else.

If you can't work hard as a state government, you should remove yourself and let others that might or can do it. Instead of all this sitting around waiting for central government allocation.

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?

shiffynaani:
omorr i didn't see that o

Almost 5 times bigger sef

Make some states just keep QUIET where Oyo dey talk b dat o

Anyone stopping them from creating their own NTM Network?

FreeStuffsNG:
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

004gist:
. This is soo wrong.
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 ?
