Nice one Akeredolu. However each of the Southern governors should devise a way of increasing their revenue source because it’s not a matter of fighting for VAT alone.

Below is the Current VAT system and I’m not impressed by the states figure in the South. Beside Lagos, Rivers, Oyo, Delta, Bayelsa and Ogun to an extent, the rest are just mediocres as their Northern counterpart.

Fake table

Premiumwriter2:
We need more of this review for the country.

The more we make the centre look unattractive the less abokis we'll have to deal with.

Now they think they can stay in FG and rule the country as they deek fit. Once we remove the central power, those who think they were born to rule will have to rethink

..
Simply put, they want to permanently remain as parasites.

Me! Me! Me! Me!

MISSNORA:
Nonsense FG.... Wow! Good to be back. Who missed me?

Akeredolu give out shocking treatment.

Fake table

I actually thought I was going insane...

Judolisco:
D only states VAT will favour is lagos and rivers and mayb oyo state..... If no b for dis VAT sharing some states can't pay salaries because instead of them to invite investors they organise mass marriage to increase the numbers of almagiris in their state... Ekiti and kogi 2 go hear am

Every State have something unique about them, and i see them being challenged by the development and spurred to self sustainability.

Even those eastern states needs to do something. Some northern states with the rate of insecurity are doing far better. Ogun state is kind of fair though but they should still put in more work.

Ppogbae:
The South has never been this bold before. The writing is on the wall and it's very clear that we are going to be in for a huge set of events this decade.

Civil War is coming to Naija.

I dont think there would be any civil war. This is modern era, Southerners are just too sophisticated to know how to peaceful achieve their goal throgh a peaceful dialogues.

Mainwhile, Nothern politicians and Elites are the problem of the North, they have both natural and human resources (especiall Agriculture and other natural resources), yet they wont do anything to utilise these God giving potential to their advantage. Aside Lagos, Oyo, Rivers, Delta and probably Ogun, no southern state should be generating more VAT than any state in the north if they make use of opportunity they have.

Restructuring has started

I now understand the fgn was reluctant about it

1. Lack mental ruggedness

2. Regional selfishness

3. To keep Nigerians poor

VAT will change the face of governance forever in Nigeria. This is one of the biggest shockers to some people so far

Honestly, it will...

Aketi is a courageous man.

I agree with Aketi. Even though Ondo is not generating plenty, but he's fighting the right course. All southern governors should support this move. But come to think of it, Lagos is generating crazy amount of money on VAT.

i understand you... I belive southwest will device a means to share the generated vat within southwest... And southeast and s. S. Should do thesame too... We share more or less thesame ideology compared to our almajiri brothers in the north

Oga don't reason this fake lists. This VAT revenue table is as fake as Buhari himself...

Correct talk. Even Aketi's own State is a beneficiary of the lopsided formula seeing some States collect far more than they generate at the expense of States like Lagos, Rivers, etal.

Brave and upright that Aketi seems dedicated to doing the right thing even at the expense of his own State's finance but I am beginning to feel that Akeredolu is pandering to populism too much these days, because he knows what 'gingers' Nigerians, whereas he remains a very average Governor who is not really moving Ondo forward.

We have to be careful with this. He appears to be fighting for the right course but that is mainly all we now know him for these days, i.e champion of FG versus State battles, and not laudable leadefship initiatives from Ondo

Yet what is going on in Ondo? Can Ondo folks enlighten us? I like what Aketi stands for per the fight for a fairer and safer Nigeria but I hope he is not doing this for populism that detract from personal failure as a governor.

To me Sanwo Olu is the real deal. Man does not talk too much but he is really dealing with the FG and fighting to improve his State. Sanwo Olu has got the balance right.

Moves like below is what I want to see from other SW States. I dont want Governors just famous and supported for fighting the FG. That is how FFK made his name and we all see where that has ended today.

Better to have leaders who lead by example rather than those who know, despite underwhelming at home, they can become very popular nationally by being an enemy to the enemies of Nigerians .

Most States of the SW, aside Lagos, are nothing to write home about and we Yorubas must face this ugly truth and demand more from SW Governors rather than let them divert attention away from their non-performance with populist antics.

Lagos, electricity firms sign MoU for increased power supply to residents

Akeredolu is just posturing. By the time FG "settles" senators and house of reps members Aberedolu and his group plus ipob miscreants on nairaland will know who wields real power in Nigeria. Even at the apex court FG will "show them pepper".
Btw, Akeredolu and Wike are trying to outdo each other - both eyeing Vp seat.

I see your points. Both Aketi and Sanwo-Olu types are welcomed, as far as Nigeria is moving forward in the right direction. What I hate is "barbar seat" kind of movement seen in many states and FGN. Besides Lagos and Ondo are not match. Neither is Sanwo Olu and Aketi, of the same mould. Aketi for eg cannot work well under a shadow of a God father like Sanwo Olu is doing meticulously. Different personalities!

Today's Southern Nigeria need a voice and Aketi seems to doing pretty well in that role.

It will also favour states with large population and high purchasing power.

Musa go back to your gate man duty, stop embarrassing yourself. The case is already in court, meaning the legislative arm of the government can’t interfere.

Only if Akeredulu can just b d president......I too love this governor walahi

See this Nnamdi Kanu boy taking on fake moniker. Isn't your oga's case in court and your people are begging up and down for political settlement?

Yes Southern Nigeria needs a voice but the SW must have a unified agenda of development every governor must be true to and must place above every other pursuit.

I am not comfortable Aketi is making so much noise yet Lagos is the only State moving forward appreciably while other SW States are glorified Villages. To me it still shows the focus ia not quite right.

Alongside Aketi's FG face off, I would love to see regionally cohesive policies to raise the fortunes of the SW. I want more SW States to be like Lagos i.e vibrant hubs of activity, oportunities and potentials and not sleepy and backward Villages.

Aketi did well and stepped up at the right time but it is now time, with gains already made against a repressive Fulani-centric FG, for SW Governors to begin pushing for a cohesive and joint agenda, as laid down by the DAWN initiative, for the unilateral development of the SW.

Southern leaders cannot be about fighting Fulani expansionist and oppresive tendencies alone.

They must start making moves to show they have cohesive plans for the development of their states and region that can be secured even with a repressive and ethno-centric FG centre in place.

Ipob miscreants are uncouth. This is how your oga was insulting northerners and boasting "no man born of woman can arrest me in umuhafia." Hahahaha, where is he now. Chai, captured by Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari's boys, kept in a "zoo" and being fed watery beans for breakfast and super dark amala for dinner- he may get soaked garri for lunch.

The APC are the majority in the house and will want to try their luck, if they succeed just know that the North will always be the majority.

So the earlier they stop it now, the better.
