Not only beer self, Hair stylist cant just give you nice hair cut in kano , even fashion designers cant display their nice clothes in peace , you cant hangout with your babe at night in kano. all na haram. But they want VAT generated by southern state to finance their stupidity. Bubu will divide this country peacefully soon.

Moferere:
How do you explain these scenarios:

Beer is an Haram in the North, Hisbah will destroy any beer destroyable but VAT generated from the consumption of beer in the south is not an Haram to them. They even take a large chunk of it.

Lagos and Rivers contributed at least 75% VAT to the federation account in 2020 but got less than 45% from FAAC.

I am enjoying the steps taken by Lagos and Rivers. Let restructuring start from there.
This feeding bottle federalism must end

The VAT should be shared between FG and states in an equitable manner
Most of the business opportunities in Lagos and Rivers are due to investments by FG in those states(eg seaports, airports, roads etc.
Lagos for instance was the federal capital territory and investments by the FG alone is responsible for more than 80% of the commercial activity in Lagos.
The states cannot lay sole claim to VAT, and same for the FGN

eldoradoxx:
People often make reference to multi billion naira VAT from alcoholic drinks as though it is the the only product that attracts VAT. The items that attract VAT is uncountable.
All the soft drinks, juice just name, all the goods inside supermarkets and shopping malls u see all attract VAT. When you recharge your phone, u pay VAT. What about when you pay ur TV subscription, electricity recharge or bills, all banking transactions etc. The goods and services that attract VAT is inexhaustible.
That is why I keep wondering why the North feels that it is cheated whenever issue of VAT is mentioned. Actually VAT is paid on consumption of goods and services within a state as a source of revenue for the State to use to provide services like road, electricity etc for you the consumer. But due to our feeding bottle federalism where States converge at Abuja every month to share money from oil, States have forgotten that their secret goldmine is VAT and they have to do everything possible to collect it. Now Wike has woken a sleeping nation. I commend him. This is the quality of brain Nigeria needs to grow honestly.

People use alcohol as a reference because collecting VAT that include taxes from sale of alcohol which the northern state had banned people from selling or drinking reflect hypocrisy of the northern people. Meaning you want to collect VAT payments from FG even though the funds include money from items you claimed is an "haram" in Islam. It's hypocrisy that is currently destroying the north. People practicing hypocrisy normally don't progress in life because they always get paid back in full. Dubai was largely a desert without sky scrapper in the 90s. See where they are now. These northerners seem to have condemned themselves as people who can't move forward even though all the resources they need to do that is available to them. But they are busy holding others back.

This may not necessarily be factual based on information available to me at the moment.

It appears the Federal Govt has the largest earning capacity for VAT based on import taxes and multi branch corporate operations.

The entire VAT earnings and dispensation milieu is a outdated and needs to be infused with new ideas that best reflects present day realities with a view to encouraging an increase in IGR.

LegalWolf:


Looool. Where are u getting this bogus figures from? Even Lagos is not the biggest contributor to the VAT net but FG. Check your facts before you speak, please.

See, some of u southern lots are babies without functional brains. Probably, your lives are not going on well and one imaginary “North” should and can be the only logical explanation for the fiasco ur lives have turned into.

But we are not the cause of your problems, but yourself!

Yet the VAT issue is giving the north sleepless nights...
Aboki u have vast land mass, go and be productive. Ur population is more than china, go and be active and stop being parasitic.
We feed u, cloth u, water u.. Abeg make the north start being productive to them selves

No state in the North that doesn't have Gold and other mineral resources, they know what they are doing. Not poor as you think, FG allow them to mine those resources illegally.

If the south east governors where as brave as Wike, the igbos would not be treated as second class citizens in this country. Same for some of my south south governors

Coldie:
Ipob should learn from Wike, this is how u fight.

Join politics and fight for your rights through government.

If Ipob was the one fighting against VAT them for dae do VAT seat at home thinking it would affect the government.

Now we begin to see depend in the others for survival.

The major problem we have in the are economic rent seekers like Tinubu

Gradually, they will be forced to start thinking inwardly.

But the like of Lagos governor will need to man up to be serious about security. Because the northern terrorists will want ti play their game or blood sucking and flesh eating

I used to have a disdainful view of this man but recent events have shown that he is the real deal. He doesn't suffer fools and calls it the way it is. He has been commissioning lofty projects on a back to back basis.

He commands a lot of respect in the Niger Delta and is one bad ass, coarse and fearless bloke that doesn't care if Buhary's Ox is gored.

Wike is 'wicked' in a good way

On the flip side, Masari is a pitiful slow man who's enjoying free food in government house and whose brains has been harangued by extremism sheer incompetence; the only Governor without a B.Sc, a governor who lines his eyes with tiro.

I don't agree that the FG alone should collect VAT, but we have to be fair to other states who did not enjoy the kind of investments that FG made in states like Lagos and Rivers. The status of Lagos as a commercial city is due mainly to investments by FG when Lagos was the federal capital....the roads, sea ports, airport, headquarters of industries/companies, embassies, etc. So LASG alone cannot pretend to be the brain behind the commercial activity and transactions that generate VAT in the state. They already have PAYE tax to themselves.
VAT should be shared between states and FG.

Which FG investment are you talking about. The FG that can't even rehabilitate a single road in Lagos. Now they give companies like Dangote tax credit to construct road or indirectly force state to rehabilitate the road and collect refund for money spent by state is headache. Do you know what a federation mean? The northern states has all they need to promote business activities in their state. They should use their head. They want to continue to collect money from people they claim to be living haram. Hypocrisy!

It really doesn't require any argument. What does the constitution say? That's what the court used to arrive at this judgement.

WHO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HELP?

The sectional federal government that is playing the NORTHERN SCRIPT ?

Each states should work for its own money instead of FEEDING BOTTLE share this and share that !

if it is CHEWING STICK you can make in Katsina state to run government. Please go ahead and sell your chewing stick.

That is what federalism is all about?

They only know how to make noise online

The truth is that most of the states in the north are not economically viable. As big the north claims to be,it should not have more than ten (10) States in all if economic sustainability is used as a major yardstick.

I see buhari using tanko Mohamed (supreme court) to reverse this ruling , these I have seen

And you think the sit at home order by the ipob does not give the govt headache... You must be mistaken, if not why this uproar about ipob sit at home both in TV, internet and newspaper... Buhari was even discussing it with Ebonyi state governor

Abdul southern farmers can't go to farm again because they would be killed or kidnapped by Fulani northern Terrorists

Food stuffs cost and economy is crumbling thanks to Fulani Terrorist

Southernerns can't travel again because Fulani Northern terrorists have invaded the forests looking to kidnap

Businesses have crumbled thanks to foolanis Terrorists

Our governors don't control police, military, foolanis on jihad spree control them

South apply local justice system on the Terrorists the police and military supporting them gang against the locals to kill them


You can see how much the north is a problem to the south

You see these people, even if they have 90% of world gold deposit under their land, they can't prosper with their hypocrisy and religious zealot mindset. See how smart Saudi and UAE governments operate. Are these not the original Islamic countries? But these wannabes will be acting as if they are sharing an "apartment" with God. They even go around killing in the name of their God.

Wike, the only governor that knows how and when to release missile, if you send to him he will intercept and absolve.

God bless Governor Wike more power to your elbow. You have full support of all hardworking Nigerians to collect Vat in Rivers state, I hope that other states will follow soon.
