The manipulative and parasitic North is at it again. Hopefully, the notoriously stupid South will not fall for this again.
The South has sacrificed too much to keep this rubbish union. The South forgets that we are ONLY brothers & sisters when the North wants to cheat the South out of something.

airminem:
I agree with the governor but i don't agree with Sahara reporters.

This Status quo is limiting the realization of the potentials of this country, including the North.

Gombe should look inwards and starts collecting tax from her citizens instead of relying on the taxes collected from Lagos, FCT, Rivers and Kano.

Buckeyemedia1:
Thank Wike for helping APC sweep the 2023 elections.

With their FAKE huge population & votes. If they allow technology and honesty to be used for census & elections, you will realize the North doesn’t have the population and votes.
Nigeria is the ONLY country in the world where population increases astronomically MIDWAY as you leave the ocean shorelines. Isn’t that strange?!

Interesting times are up ahead

Who is whose brother in Nigeria? Like we all have suddenly become brothers.
Odiegwu.
We will give your cattle that pays no vat grazing land land and still share vat from other people's businesses. What kind of brotherhood is that?

Ololade1999:
He who comes to equity must come with clean hands.When buhari was busy giving all the the juicy slots to his brothers, they didn't say anything.

When hisbah police were breaking bottles, they were hailing them. Let each state generate her revenue abeg. Let them prove to us that they aren't parasites.

You mind these imbeciles.

festacman:
Stop begging and think inwards. With high youthful population and arable land mass, Gombe State could rake in more money from food production and processing than what VAT gives. Sitting on goldmine but begging for pittance simply means IGNORANCE and LACK OF VISION. Smh

Who will secure the farm investment from bandits? You? Hahaha

osuofia2:
can you deny the obvious,?

The obvious is that folks upnoth now eat grass to survive.

Lol

You have Islamic terrorists brothers in Mali and Niger republic, awon eleribu dedee

osuofia2:
Fake news, in real sense, the South needs the North more than the North needs South.
We feed the South, in turn what do they contribute to Nigeria aside given us problems up and down.
Lord Lugard shouldn't have joined us with those bunch of noise makers called southerners.

No wahala VAT no more to d north....

PrinceOfLagos:
Brother's keeper Kill you there idiot

All this year's you've been milking the southerners dry, you didn't remember to be brothers keeper

Mad people

God bless Wike for me .

You spoke my mind. Oil revenue is on exclusive list. VAT is a state thing just that we have been blindfolded all these years. We need more lawyers to go thru all our Acts to see if there are some other sources of revenue that are for state to generate and spend. I know states too will steal from the VAT o but let it first of all go to the rightful owners.

Can we check what the law sales on Withholding Tax too, especially for limited companies and corporations? May be everything is supposed to go to the state o and we have been paying to FG since except for enterprise businesses.

Let’s check legislation on other taxes too. We will still see more. Small by small, we go dey decentralize many things and with time, we will achieve that FEDERALISM they are talking about.

It's nothing whatever success you think the yoruba's have in tech can be squashed by the igbos if they put their minds to it, we have the human resources to do that, just like we did in 1920 the igbos came out from their forest homes to squash the education of the yoruba's in just within 20 yrs , let this country be restructured and decentralized watch the igbos beat you yoruba's to what you think you lead in, the igbo sons that will turn things around in igboland are living abroad cause they don't believe in Nigeria

Again you are unnecessarily boasting.

The Yoruba has as much people abroad as Igbos have. You are being myopic Sha...

All this attitude without strategy is our undoing. You don't have to announce to anyone about your might. If it's there, people will do the announcement for you.

People know we are very industrious. Talking about crushing tech, stop making it look like they are competing with you. They are just living their life. It's you who is making it about competition.

My friend you yoruba's should live your lives and let the igbos live theirs the way it pleases them, that myth of yoruba's are more educated more sophisticated than igbos ended in 1920 , restructure Nigeria, and watch an exidos of igbos from all over the world, there is no place on planet earth you won't find igbos in their numbers doing great, our human resources is so large if we all channel it home, the so called Lagos/yorubaland will be empty


Leave us igbos to our boasting and the mindset to compete , yoruba's and igbos are two different people, we look our fellow man in the eye while greeting them, you yoruba's lay on your belly prostrate face down to greet your fellow man , we can not be you and you can't be us

My friend get out of here and go suck your mama breast. Idiot. Once someone disagrees with imbeciles like you, he is automatically not Igbo.

If we check now, you are nothing offline but posturing and superimposing on the successes of other Igbos. Go make a name for yourself before I take you serious.

Brothers? What brothers?

Calm down my friend, I haven't heard of you either, who are you?

ibechris:
We have contributed to the economy of every regions of this country especially Lagos and Kano without fear of even losing out. But let me ask u,what have u contributed to this country as an individual. I am igbo and I am very proud of my tribe same way others would claimed. But what have u added to boost the country's economy other than shouting Eko oni baje?

At 38,I have contributed soo much to Nigerian economy,I have infact,lifted families and businesses from its moribund states to its productive state by virtue of what I do, I have directly and indirectly paid enormous taxes to both Federal and state govts.
And that is why we are noise makers as u called us. We can't be paying ur Lagos and Kano states humongous taxes and u end up treating us like idiots. Without igbos,most states in Nigeria would have even collapse beyond redemption,yes because we are into service businesse in Nigeria and we pay more import and export taxes more than any tribe and region in this country. We have also provided more self employment jobs in Africa than any country in Africa. Go to Mozambique,Republic of Congo,Kenya,Cameroun,Zambia and Gabon,Ghana Liberia and Botswana u will see what our people are doing in motor and machine parts in those countries not to talk about hotel and super market businesses altogether.

So,I am saying what I know and not what I don't know.
And that is why we will keep shouting to fight for what belong to us in this country. During Christmas times in Lagos,can't u see the igbo effects in Lagos,that is to tell u that we are what we say.

Shut up
