Atiku is still trying to play God and decide what should be in the bills.

Atiku is a rubbish talker.

Those who know this say I !!!
Those who don't know this say Nay!!!

The I !!! Have it.

In a real competitive economy, every State must have what they bring to the dinner table.

You can't kick against things that will fetch money and still eat from the proceeds.

All State must start working, that's how true development comes.

You can not continue destroying Alcohol and be benefitting from tax on it. The more you sell the more you get shikina

aribisala0:
Cow can be produced even more efficiently in the south

We have more water which is key to animal feed production

We have just neglected that side of the economy

More grass yes , more water no
North has abundant water

So the states that are destroying beers worth of billions and closing bet centres that is generating billions to Consolidated revenue account should continue to benefit from it right?

Let the region that the tax reform won't favour think out of the box.

“Nigerians are united in their call for a fiscal system that promotes justice, fairness, and equity. They are loud and clear that the fiscal system we seek to promote must not exacerbate the uneven development of the federating units by enhancing the status of a few states while unduly penalising others."

What is the fairness and equality in states with extremely large populations that have refused to contribute significant revenue but have been parasites since Nigeria's independence, to the point of constantly asking for more states and local governments so that they can collect more allocations, yet we see no progress? Is that fair to the states that generate enormous revenue for the country?

Objectivist04:
More grass yes , more water no
North has abundant water

I am talking about rainfall and round the year water supply
I have zero patience for stupid talk

We are talking about longer rainy seasons and 2 to 3 times the amount of rainfall

This is easily verifiable not nonsense like

"Abundant water '

They have had
water shortage in Kano for decades

There is nothing like that in the south

Where do you hear of. Fish farming in Nigeria

The north has been drawing Nigeria back for ages. It's time for them to test if they truly can survive without Nigeria or not.

Imaging giving us Buhari. See where the nations' economy is today.

odejimioflagos:
Atiku Abubakar, the man that is seeking to become president for the 6th time.
How can he be talking about fairness and equity when he is the most unfair to his own people?

Atiku can never meant well for the Ordinary NIGERIANS because,he has his own agenda - just to lean on the Northern States,while Others continue to feed them.
It all about Politics, instead of him to reason the Economics Potential of the Tax! Hear him ' it should be re- visited' as if he was in Dubai - when this was being passed!
Toh,make we wait for P.O Obi,for Una own opinion!
But this Una leaders de pay anything Tax Abroad,right away from the Airport o,as de no fit objects!
I pity Nigeria!

trutharena:
Atiku is always making sense.

Making sense as how? You see ehn people lije you can be very annoying and disgusting.

So your brain did not tell you the North ruined their region in the name of religion then want to suc-king the South to dryness and this is why they are against this tax reform?

So the North only want to be president and that is all ba? Who dies that?

Some states are not adding value to Nigeria

Zooposki:
To be fair, resource control should go alongside this bill.

You want the north to explode. Zulum, Udume, and now Atiku have been vibrating.......lol. a beg let Naija win this VAT issue before we move to resource control oooo. For now, it is the gateway to resource control. It is a win for top revenue generating states. No more Bamboo dey work, Monkey dey chop. Lol. Resource control will definitely enter.

To me, the north should start getting ready to work their ass and generate enough revenue.

I am not a fan of Tinubu, but perhaps he is the one who fits Nigerians. Lol. The north will never side with him again, but it's too late. Lol.

Let them get high blood pressure gradually so they can live long to see what is called real fairness and equality. We don't want them die of heart attack now. Let's pressure them gradually, systematically, and logically.

Foolish man. Calling the consequence of wasteful use of money penalty is tantamount to playing the victim here and that makes atiku extremely foolish someone.

Smithkafors:
Yes. Not after federal government borrowed billions of dollars to build structures in their state.

Billions of dollars was borrowed by both Buhari and Tinubu to site structures in their region thereby neglecting others.

This person must be a mumu

It's south-south people that has been too docile that i blame.
Tinubu want to enrich lagos more through this policy, forgetting that same Lagos was built from the collective resources from all geopolitical zones, as a former capital territory.

If Tinubu is trying to restructure the tax system, why is he not using the same template for the resources generated from other regions? South south, you guys has slept for far too long. The entire federating unit will share the oil money, while lagos will take bulk of tax generated within their state.

Thewrath:
I came across a post from one lunatic saying that SE so against the tax reform bill..
He didn’t hear it from SE fed and state reps,
He didn’t hear it from SE governors or kings or chiefs,he didn’t hear it from ohanaeze or SE leaders!

Turns out it’s their usual insecure instincts because they can’t squarely face the north and now want other southern region to speak up in support of the bill via reverse psychology!

Since the bill provides for states to keep bulk of generated VAT or TAX,is it not time for us to separate so all states can keep everything?

They should also reform the oil industry bill so all states get to keep bulk of what they generated and let SE go and suffer since they don’t generate much….unless of course the fed govt has been lieing with figures that it’s been using to cheat the SE.

Let SE go,it’s resources is enough it it!

That must be that senile domperignon.

Baba is such bore

Now you are showing your true colours, you northerners will always want the south divided. Una time is here.

JAWBONE:

The only thing the Chicago Accountant knows is tax and propaganda

He did it in Lagos where he used every power within his means to squeeze every penny out of Lagosians.

That is why every bus stop you stop in Lagos, you must hear Owomida. They were even contemplating taxing Television, Radio and pumping machines at a point in time in Lagos.

Used stolen money to buy political power, rig elections, enter office and tax the shit out of even the poor masses, play tribal politics to divide the masses, hire hungry political jobbers and social media errand boys to do propaganda for you, then corner the wealth of the state into your private account.

The way of the Iragbiji "master strategist"
An incompetent, corrupt and empty politician

Keep quiet...
This is not a comedy thread...

Just admit that your brain can't comprehend the topic.

Atiku told southerners in all his campaigns that he will ensure fiscal
federalism, state police e,t.c . The south should take note that ATIKU can
never be trusted. He will be worse than Buhari

Bro in as much as i am not from South East, but I v come to realise that those people have a way of surviving more than any other tribe in this country. They leave here with us in Rivers and their survival instinct inspire me alot. You said they don't produce much but I know we in Rivers have boarder with Imo and Abia and I know they have oil. With that little they have, if every one is told to go back to there region, u will marvel at what will become of their place. So don't look down on them oh .....Moreover, now we in festive mood, when they start travelling u will see how it looks as if the economic activities of Port Harcourt city has slowed down. So bro no look down on them oh, those people have high rate of survival instinct from my observation.

I understand that a sane Federation should ‘help’ every state within its territory mostly by using resources from ‘richer’ states.

This is called equity.
Equity is fair and sustainable if only the federation is newly established or a new system of government just emerged e.g democracy in 1999.

However, certain states have refused to develop; attract investors and have embraced anti-development, anti-education and anti-western economics; mostly fueled by adopting backward religious beliefs, values and views.
Some of these states spend ridiculously, sponsor/ finance terrorism, run their minerals via black market syndicates and then rely on the national cake for running their main economy.

They take advantage of equity and now equality comes. Don’t cry foul as you can’t eat your cake yet have it.

Other landlocked and low-mineral states, however, can form partnerships with neighbouring states and launch joint projects to leverage each other's strengths. Many of them, like Ekiti, don’t even have an airport.

In conclusion, all states in Nigeria are time-matured enough to have set themselves on a path to greatness. This bill is here to stay.
The economy must be improved in every state.
This will push everyone to diversify their investments in several states rather than the big 3.


My 50 kobo

Tax reforms is a welcome development in Nigeria.
Only those who do not wish for equity and justice,
In each region in Nigeria,God has given us natural resources are we using all to the benefits of all?
Not only that, many other areas are well addressed in the new tax reforms

Last statement got me. The contents of the bills must align with interest of the vast majority.
The above statement rubbished all Atiku has been saying from the beginning of the article.
What should minorities do when the bills align with the interest of the majorities? They needs to wake up so do north. As a matter of fact,as regards this tax bill northerners are minorities.

NASS are too slow on passing this bill
By now I expect them to Ve passed it
Nobody be mumu
