Do you know that prior to Yaradua's intervention and passage of the 13% derivative to oil producing states , all SE states got far much higher as federal allocation than oil producing states in the SS?

Obasanjo proposed 25% to oil producing states but SE legislators in the NASS aligned with the core north to kill the bill while hiding under opposition to Obasanjo's third term agenda.

Have you heard any of their elected officials wade into the VAT issue?

I rest my case.

Lagos VATs belongs to Nigerians. Stop wasting your time.

paramakina202:
SE aligned with the north to kill 25% oil derivation when SE is an oil producing region?
When will you guys stop this your devilish propaganda against the east?
It is on record that SE delegates has to walk out together with SS delegates before Nigerians accept to pay oil producing states 13% during Abacha constitutional conference.

EmeeNaka:
Terrorism has weekend Igboland. So we need a lot of Federal support to recover. Federal government must support the restoration of security to South East and wipe out all criminal elements making life difficult.
IPOB-ESN and BRF terrorism are crippling businesses, so we are not able to contribute to VATs as much as we take.

Bobloco:
All you do every single day of your life is come here just to spread lies, falsehood, and propaganda against the Igbos.

The truth is that they are not the reason you are frustrated. The Igbos are not responsible for Tinubu's bolekaja economic policy prescriptions that are causing your frustrations and anger.

Channel your frustrations and anger appropriately towards Tinubu and leave the Igbos out of your frustrations

AntiChristian:
Why not talk about the VAT and what your appointees have being contributing to the bill developmental process as he said?

All these una diversion tactics is stale!

Stay on the lane!

Yoruba Media cooking up rubbish to hide the amount of cash being funneled into the South West.

Lagos gets VAT from where? From MTN and GLO whose subscribers are scattered all over the country? Feon banks head offices who customers dwell in order states. Tariffs from tincan ports with over 70% of the containers heading to the East.

How much was given to Osun and Ekiti, and how much of the oil and gas earnings report took care of the crude gotten from slant engineering near Imo borders with Rivers state and Anambra borders with Delta State which has been reported here?

Lagos generates a substantial amount of Value Added Tax (VAT) due to two primary reasons:
1. Many multinational companies have their headquarters in Lagos, and as a result, they remit their VAT payments in the state, despite their goods and services being consumed nationwide. For instance, all major telecom companies pay their VAT in Lagos.

2. Lagos is also the primary hub for clearing imported goods, which generates significant VAT revenue. Although these goods are eventually shipped to other states for consumption, the VAT is still paid in Lagos.

This raises questions about the underutilization of other ports in the country. If these ports were developed and utilized, it could lead to a more even distribution of VAT revenue across states. Moreover, companies might be incentivized to establish manufacturing industries in other regions, further promoting economic growth and balance.

The VAT issue is complex, and a revision of the law to ensure that companies pay tax in the states where their goods and services are consumed could help achieve a more equitable distribution of VAT revenue among states.

paramakina202:
You lied again it seems lying is your hobby.Abia and Imo state have been members of Niger Delta oil producing states since OBJ time and in fact Onyema Ugochukwu was the first executive chairman of NDDC from Abia state.
13% derivation sharing formular for oil producing states was approved by Abacha in 1995 and this is what a Niger Deltan delegate at the conference have to say about the role Igbo leaders played in helping their Niger Delta brothers to secure the 13% derivation and how Yoruba delegates and the north refused to support it.
In this era Yoruba ronu can no longer lie and get away with it.

DomPerignon:
See this one.

Obasanjo embedded 25% to oil producing states in his third term executive constitutional amendment bill.

Why will SS senators oppose such and stage a walkout ?


Take your ignorance ouy of here. You are empty to learn.

How can you even say that under military dictatorship with unelected military administrators who mostly were not indigenes of the state they governed, that there was anything like 13% to oil producing states?

The sharing formula under military dictatorship was purely based on population and landmass and this saw SE states with high population getting more than any state in the SS.

Also, OMPADEC which later transformed to NDDC was formed by the military to address the cheating by directly setting aside funds for infrastructural projects in the SS oil producing states.

How do you know he is Yoruba?

The way you people talk on social media? You better be careful before you build enemies across the Nigerian nation.

I don't see how any region will progress without others' support, including referendum. Don't be a Sennacherib.

owobokiri:
Lol,
And some people liked your post? You are unbelievable. This means that the South East voted against the South East interest to spite the South South? Do you know that the South East states have oil deposits? So how can they vote against a bill that will give them more money? Looks like you're a lying machine. Relentless revisionist.


Actually it was the South West that voted with the north against the proposal for derivation funds for oil producing states. Your slippery South West. You started this during the Abacha National conference". The whole South met. Led by Ekwueme, it was agreed amongst the southern delegates that the South should argeu for derivation funds. The South West agreed to this "on principles".

The South moved in as a bloc but when it was time to vote, the perennial backstabbers from the South West went with the core North and voted against the bill. That was how only the South East and South South stood for derivation funds. Militancy will ensue in full force later and intimately helped to reset some brains and the rest is history.

Just look at what you said because this one favours you.
You would have cried us a pool of Lava if the reverse was the case.

Stay mute when it favours you, cry like Bush babies when it doesn't.

Hypocrites everywhere!
