Bobloco:


But the truth is that Otti have absolutely nothing to do with it

This is strictly a matter between the leadership of the market and shop owners

DestinyNigga:


Do I need to remind you that Isreal is killing every head slammer animal. I know you are one 😂😂😂

LeoDeKing:
Abia state?

I thought Abia state is being governed by Elu P governor.

Anyway, lemme keep quiet before pitobi people start crying inside my mention.

most of youhave never been to ariariai you stay in your houses and exegerate, you may have just visited one cluster in ariria and you think you are in the whole of the market, ariariai is not just one market square you know

seborrhic:

Oga,I av been to Ariaria.
The only thing you would tell me is that Ariaria extends beyond the area I know it to be.
Googled where it's said it emcompasses 3 LG areas!That is news and strange to me and if true,then the 10k estimate maybe true.There is even a survey that gave an exact figure of 37k shops!!I acknowledged and stated this in my other posts on this same thread.
I used to think it starts some metres after seven Decking then stops at that Cesspit or muddy or unmotorable area just after the last roll of section of shops.
Don't assume this has anything to do with one not knowing the place or anything to do with tribal fights that are rampant here.
My issue is that from the surface the original statistics looks well exaggerated from what I use to know as Ariaria.

seborrhic:

Ok.
There is an estimate I just googled that there are 37,000 shops!But it occupies 3 LGAs!!
I still doubt,unless the area I have known as Ariaria market extends beyond what I used to know,but there it is.

VEHINTOLAR:


Lol ! When we say Lagos,Yoruba,South West and Tinubu live rent free in your oblong heads, it's not intended to be an insult; it's a fact ! I'm not surprised though;it's your paranoid obsession with anything Lagos and Yoruba that's acting up again as I can't fathom any reason why you have to involve Lagos in this ! Your miserable life is never complete without mentioning "Ragos" (Lagos in cringey igbotic accent),Tinubu and Yoruba in a day ! I'm very sure that you will mention Tinubu and Yoruba in your next lame response,shior !

Difrent:


Shame on you.
If you have any sense you will delete this trash.

MEEVEET:


Would they prefer 40% of their revenue? Tax is important for development

Donchieli:
And u also know the reason many big companies leave Nigeria is because of too much taxation

One major disadvantage of third world countries like ours is that they collect this levies and no no development

jmoore:
A slowpoke that mentioned Alaigbo first doesn't want me to mention Lagos. First class dumb skull!
You said that Igboland can't contain thousands of shops, but Lagos that is the smallest state has thousands of shops. Ode!

jmoore:
Adamu Suleiman has not created any thread about bokoharam, iswap and bandits giving violent promo in the north but he is creating thread about southeast.

MEEVEET:

No body has left Nigeria because of two much tax..
If you don't want to pay tax invest the earnings

As long as you take personal earnings 40% tax. Is fair

You can form a cooperative so as to pay cooperate tax and pay 25% profit tax

IGBOSON1:


Even if you hear from 'pitObi' and others you mention, it still wouldn't be enough for your sad self! It's obvious you Tinubu miniotic dolts are desperately searching for any news from the south-east you can spin into a anti-Igbo/Obi narrative.....all aimed at trying to distract onlookers from the disastrous 6 months in Aso Rock of your emilokan mandate thief!

What has a gov't being in town got to do with the high-handedness of market leaders!? There's a gov't in town in Lagos, yet the place is overun with agberos and owomida touts! Can we now infer the gov't in town is part of the scam!?

MEEVEET:
Why would a market leadership be collecting tax in ariaria market

Any where you see bottle next know corruption is breeding there strongly

What would it take to give every shop a bar code
They pay directly from the bar code link

Once tax pepole come thay just scan the bar code of every shop

A simple app can tell them who have paid and who haven't paid

All this are forms of corruption

Ariaria has more than 50,000 shops some estimate say 200,000 shops

Say we do 100,000 every shop should pay a minimum tax of 300k per year. .. That's over 30 billion from this market alone

hopeforcharles:
. Oga it’s the market Union that is charging that not the government

Cjayboy:
Please,you knew nothing about this issue..ok?
Let me educate you a little that this #21,000 is being paid annually into Abia State Government account.

Gov Otti Alex, Promised the traders during campaign that he will not such levy from them, while past administration of Okezie Ikpeazu was levying them ₦18,000 annually, this short and brief man called Alex Otti added extra ₦5,000.

Ishilove:

At the end of the day the funds get looted by corrupt government officials.

Thievery knows no ethnicity

Bobloco:


Why are you dragging the governor into this

Didn't you read where it was stated that the leadership of the market is responsible for the increment

raskymonojendor:
When it happens in the south east.

Tito24:
🤣🤣🤣🤣 so governor no get hand for the matter 😂😂😂😂

Clowns

seborrhic:

Here we go again!
Do u know what 50,000 shops look like and the expanse of land it will take to occupy 50k shops?
Do you even know what 10k shops look like?
I always say Nigerians like throwing figures in the air without thought.
Even if you say there are 50,000 human traders in Ariaria I doubt.Then you are here talking of 10k,not to mention 50k shops.
Ariaria may have anywhere between 2k-3k shops at most and that's being generous.
For you to have a better understanding of how to arrive at a reasonable figure,do this:how many streets constitute Ariaria market or better put what's the total area of Ariaria market and using the smallest shop size,how many shops can fit into that area.
Stop throwing up arbitrary, exaggerated figures.

So why do you drag Sanwo Olu to everything that happens In LAGOS
