They should Employ more HISBAH,to clam down on Bussiness..

Nigeria is not for the South.
North are the ones controlling the economy,yet their greed and inexperience kept dollar at 540 at black market.
North are not teachable, especially if the knowledge is coming from the south.
I pity Nigerians still praying for a peaceful Nigeria,they are currently the enemy of the state, sometimes when you keep on showing your advocacy towards peace building, others take you for being weak.
Nigeria has spoilt to the point where if possible the president should resign before the situation in Afghanistan will be better of.

Violent change is inevitable

One particular region cannot enjoy the monopoly of power for a very long time

Every situation and process has got it's elastic limit and when that limit is long over stretched an explosion is inevitable

Some of you are funny, which law is wike back on to collect VAT, this would not scale APEAL COURT, it is good for state to collect VAT but our law never empowered them, Federal government paid Rivers State 120billion because rivers government construct road in rivers state, restructuring is holistic, Federal government should allow state to collect VAT to construct their road, take care of their university, their state police. Not WIKE to collect VAT and still blame Federal government on their poor road... That VAT will not scale APEAL court, WIKE almost have his way in the high court, intimate them or bribe them but it will not scale superior court

Good for Southern States. After all, Northerners like Sani Yerima and Pantami think that Nigerian problem is Sharia. Let them feed their people with the Sharia doctrines.

The story of the real change start just a governor from the faraway south and the fire is moving around like never before. Kano go and generate your IGR and keep destroying where you will make it more.

Wine for president..

Like if you agree with me.

Lagos is a country not a state River state seaport would soon start to operate delta sea sport too even Akwa ibom so federal government should tighten up their belt power belongs to the people this is diplomatic restructuring and is healthy for the people .Northern state don't like Alcohol fine and good don't come and reap in the places you didn't sow if possible i will vote wike for president. All the governors knows the truth make presidential seat unattractive then corruption will reduce dramatically by the time the federal seat is devalued to a ceremonial seat then one dollar will be one naira.
i rest my case.

Bayelsa in the ND is one of the most laziest states in Nigeria.

Is it your laziness?

I am lazy but the little I am able to provide from. Y laziness you want me to share it but you don't want to share the one you made from hard work with me

When you see the Southern governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists, freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets & their hate doped retards on social media especially those from the Niger Delta talk about restructuring & resource control, you will think they genuinely love Nigeria & their region.
Sure No!
What they want is more money, more power & more control over the money without no one querying them.
Those governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that swallowed the 6 trillion naira in NDDC over the past 18 years meant to develop the Niger Delta in addition to squandering trillions of naira & billions of dollars that accrued to Niger Delta from federal statutory allocations, 13% derivation funds, ecological funds, Ministry of Niger Delta funds, taxes, royalties rents etc with only poverty, deprivation & backwardness to show for it every 4 years are the same governors, politicians, elders, elites, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that will manage a restructured Niger Delta controlling all the resources there.
If they truly want restructuring, they would have welcomed & implemented by now Buhari's executive orders granting financial autonomy to local governments, state houses of assembly & state judiciaries instead of rejecting it & going to court to challenge the orders.
Those that are fighting for restructuring don't want independent local governments, state houses of assemby & state judiciaries because these are arms & organs of government, that if truly independent, will effectively check the excesses of the state governors & those embezzling the resources of the states in the region.
Those governors, politicians, elders, elites, traditional rulers, cashivists & freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets that want resource control are not ready to invest the billions of naira & dollars they stole from Nigeria & Niger Delta in prospecting for oil & building the massive oil infrastructures required to explore, manage, store & transport crude oil & gas.
That's why at the expiration of the oil leases held by some Nigerians & foreign companies, Buhari refused to renew them but rather passed the opportunity to own them to states so that they can control the resources & use the huge profits to better the lot of citizens of their states.
Many states in the Niger Delta & their governors, politicians, elites, elders, cashivists, freedom fighters fighting for their private pockets rejected the opportunity because it involves huge investments & rather opted to sell this opportunity of thier states owning these oil blocks to private individuals & firms for immediate cash from 10% commisions, kickbacks & convenient taxes.
They don't want the restructuring & resources control that will give the states more responsibilities, that will benefit their people or promote transparency, growth & development in their region. What they want is the restructuring that will give them more powers, more control & more money to squander.
That's why they talk about devolution of powers to states that will allow the governors absolute powers to make decisions on a lot more wide range of portfolios presently under the purview of the federal government.
That's why they are appropriating to themselves through their zombified state assemblies the powers to collect all taxes in their states including VAT.
That's why they are rejecting financial autonomy to local governments, state assemblies & state judiciary so that they can have the additional local government billions of naira to squander, pass any selfish law they want & obtain any court order they want against their opponents while eliminating scrutiny from the same institutions constitutionally empowered to query & sanction them.
That's why they are bent on having state police to intimidate, brutalize & put away any opponent or dissenting voice.
Sadly, the citizens of these states have their brains & minds so wickedly twisted by the ethno-religious hate opium they are doped daily & can no more comprehend who their enemies are.
A pathetic shame indeed!!

Unjust hatred for people will consume you. We see the obvious in the very hilarious VAT battle that is happening. I just dey observe.
Many supported Governor Wike's decision to be collecting VAT because they say "the North contributes nothing and they want to be collecting". But if they know their facts they will understand that they are digging a hole for themselves. They will realize it is all of us that will suffer when States collect VAT.
First of all, after Lagos, the next place that contributes the highest VAT (20%) is the FCT which is in the North. Yes this is followed by Rivers at 6% but Kano is next with 5% and this is followed by Kaduna. So no, it is not as you have been misinformed. The only special case is Lagos. So your State will suffer. Even Lagos will suffer with much more people migrating there. When resources are shared among Federating Units, it is shallow to always think it is injustice. Give Lagos 100% of it's VAT, Mukaila from Sokoto, Chinedu from Aba and even Lasisi from Osun will all migrate there. So what is the point again?
Secondly, in the federal system, companies with less than 25 million were not VATable. You think you are doing Northerners but your company will become VATable once Wike's law is replicated in your State. Why do you think commercially massive States like Abia and Anambra do not top the list of VAT contributors? Because those boys in the market were not exactly VATable, wait until what you are blindly supporting takes effect. VAT will be collected like motor park tickets. Then you will see where hate has led you.
Third, people will most likely pay VAT twice across different states with different laws because Wike does not know what is input and output VAT and did not listen to Nojeem Olasubomi Yusuf and others who politely asked him about it.
Some have even termed Wike the leader of restructuring in Nigeria. A gullible people in search of heroes. Being used and misled by every opportunist. Stop allowing yourself to be used by politicians to settle their personal scores while they tell you they are fighting for your interest.
You need to first know what your interest is to know who is actually fighting for or against it

MannaVultureGriller and his crazy Goons, helinius, Bosstrevor, seunmg, simplyleo, cilicmarin, etc will be Crying now..

U only see their Ugly selves masturbating on Igboho and Nmamdi Kanu matter!

Abuja pilgrims indeed. . lol

Abokis will die of hunger this time, dey no dey generate anything than fura, but Dem dey eat chicken and driving Benz and Honda. Now dey don break

That's why we need Fearless Governors in the South.
Unlike Weakmen like 'roadmaster' Okowa..
Dats how also, Alamieyesiegha and James Ibori gave FG tough time during their reign!

When those Kano Hisbah were destroying Beer, boutiques, etc..their illiteracy didn't make dem think of the economic angle..

This Hausa/Fulanis, we inevitably will have to separate from Dem, in the Future!!

Exactly. These governors and Senators can activate restructuring gradually. That's it. SS and SE should sit down and find a way to cut of oil going to Kaduna. Las las FG will negotiate with them again. And they start getting higher. But they keep asking more. If they do this continuous for 5 years, they will have about 60% of the revenue for themselves to build their community. And they wont stop until they control 100% of it. That's the way to go forward instead of just crying and shouting secession. No one will allow them go. But tlet them take back their own resources. Use every means possible to fight and get back your resources legally. How can they re.ove crude oil and use pipe transfer it to Kaduna to refine. And them sell back to you at high price. Rubbish.

My thoughts exactly.

Like I submitted in the previous post, other states should challenge federal policing (thank God we have massive insecurity) and another state should drag the federal government to court for taking proceeds generated in states.

If an elder refuses to be responsible, children will teach him to be responsible.

Very soon the North will be the ones calling for a sovereign national conference to be held by the time the south is done with them constitutionally..

Southern states got unfair revenue allocation. They are the least employed in federal government jobs despite generating high VAT Revenue

This is a lie my man. Where did you get the statistics that shows that the least employed in Federal government job is the South?

No more beer money for kano..........

Separate beer money, we don't need it in Kano. Muslims doesn't take alcohol. Let those whose religion permits it continues with it.

History will be kind to Wícked Wike for championing this cause.

Revolution is about to start

If the northern brothers thinks the same way with him in this war ,restructure would start but I don't think they would buy to these course and they would start another propaganda that would kill it before it berth

Can Kano refund all beer monies collected in the past too.......

Myhusband:
with Restructuring, the evil 1999 constitution that put the rest of Nigerians in the hand of bunch of uncivilized Fulani will be discarded



let's go restructuring then referendum will fall in. it's unfortunate that Igbo that are championing for their own country are not keying into this proposal

that's best step to turn Nigeria tilde around ..

sokera:
I have said it and I will say it again … Ibo are the greatest beneficiary of this useless unitary system,try to check what ibo generated to the FG pocket and see what they get in return you will be shocked

Same igbos fought for biafra in 1967, massob in 2007 and now ipob yet everyone is fighting one Nigeria. We don't want to benefit again. Is it a must to benefit from you people? We want our country.

sokera:

Oga. I am not from the East but I have never seen one, one Igbo man who is scared of competition or is helpless in the face of his future. They are liberal minded and aspirational, the last people that fit into this unwieldly contraption called Nigeria, the least people who benefit from the status quo.

If it is so they will gladly raise the revenues to develop their communities. This has been their practice for decades. The reasons they ventured out in the first place after the civil war was the devastation to their communities and local economies and the fact that there Nigeria had no martial plan like the allies did to Germany, Europe, Japan and much of Asia to reconstruct and refire their economies a after the second world war.

That legacy is what has led to the under development in parts of the east, not the shortcomings in enterprise of the people as you can see all over Nigeria where they pay their fair share to the economies of states all over Nigeria.

Pilgrimage to Abuja is the problem. It's the easiest path: collect, share some, keep the rest.

By Dr Joe Abah - DG, Bureau of Public Service
Reforms". (C): Johnson Andrew, this is the Analyzed data based on population figures of each state.

From the wall of Akin Omoz-Oarhe:

THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF PUBLIC SERVICE REFORMS, RELEASED STATISTICS OF EMPLOYMENTS INTO OUR PUBLIC SERVICE.
THE RAW FIGURES PER STATE ARE ALL OVER FACEBOOK.

THIS GOT MY ORIENTAL BROTHERS TALKING AGAIN. KNOWING THAT NOT SO MANY LIKE FIGURES, I HAVE TRIED TO TIDY THEM UP FOR EASE OF UNDERSTANDING.

(A). EMPLOYMENT INTO THE PUBLIC SERVICE

NE with a population of 19.0m has 7,793

NW with a population of 35.8m has 8,806

SE with a population of 16.4m has 16,540

NC with a population of 20.3m has 17,661

SS with a population of 21.0m has 18,038

SW with a population of 27.6m has 19,620

To appreciate this figures, it is necessary to find out how many employees are taken from every 1 million people in each of the geographical zones.

The result is:

1st. SE has 1,009 Employees per million

2nd. NC has 970 Employees per million

3rd. SS has 859 Employees per million

4th SW has 711 Employees per million

5th NE has 410 Employees per million

6th NW has 246 Employees per million

Here we can see that South Eastern Zone has over 1000 people engaged in the public service of Nigeria in every 1 million Igbo people, whereas only 246 people are engaged in North West!
