Happy new month bro. Wishing you a productive and prosperous new month.
Today is 2nd. You engaged with me with this moniker just yesterday. Why did you omit this message of yours?

I am just hoping you are referring to yourself about the productive part because the current life you have been living on this forum is uninspiring with the years of senseless trolling

Without seeing the details of the bill in question, it seems Lagos is the one paying taxes.

Can someone please post the detail of the tax bill? Is it a tax cut or tax withholding?

Southerners have been heavily taxed for decades while the northerners have been evading it. This time around, no going back. The tax reform bill will be passed.

Infact, there are more reforms coming like quota system. North should be ready for what's about to come
Thinking about recent developments I now see reasons why people with good intentions also rig elections in other to achieve a greater good.

These developments I think will lead to what some regions have been clamouring for: separation or true federalism.

I fully support the president on this.
Re: Tinubu's tax reform bill only favours Lagos - Borno Gov, Zulum by MT:
Is it fair to spend VAT being generated in other regions on the Northern states who are not willing to stimulate economic activities in that region?

This tax reforms will stimulate healthy competitions among states. Governors will seek to attract businesses to their states by providing enabling environment, and thus earning increased VAT.

We need deep thinkers in Government, not silly individuals in their overflowing agbada, waiting every month for VAT from other regions to be shared.

Nigeria needs to stop double taxation on businesses which is killing them. These tax bills is good, if you want increased VAT earning in your states, vote in deep thinkers as Governors who can create enabling environment for businesses.

Zulum is making sense here.
Making sense for lazy northerners who want to maintain their large share due to population. The population cannot be used to produce more agro-products and earn more, allowing them to gain a larger share. Lol. And then, they are talking about equality. What is the point of equality when you have 25 million people in your state but pay 10 times less than someone with 5 million people? "Baboon dey work, Monkey dey chop". That's VAT.

Have you considered income tax? I bet you don't understand it. I'm sure you don't earn high, yet you are shouting. May God not let you use your hand to kill yourself before you realise it. Illiteracy is your problem. Go find someone to explain things to you in your native language, and stop pretending you understand everything Oloyede said in the Senate. I bet you did not even listen to him, and now you are shouting here. angry

You are a dead meat with this your attitude. Na your type politicians dey use every 4 years. Lol. If we research well, na this Tinubu you voted for na. grin

Illiteracy at its peak. Lol.

As an Igboman, i dont't support the bill because it won't favour the southeastern states.

If T!efnubu is serious, he should go for full resource control and not only VAT that will favour Lagos and Ogun states.

Those states can't keep sharing from the revenues generated from resources in other states, while keeping the bulk of the VATs generated within their boundaries. And it's not like those VATs are being generated from mostly yoruba businesses!

Anyway, I'm just happy how Igbos are not even taking sides in all these rubbish. Let the brothers settle their beef.
We should learn to examine policies and take sides!
We're not dummies.
Every policy will affect us positively or negatively, and we shouldn't always be on the sidelines
If we knew what we were doing as a region, we would be the first to do what the north is currently doing because the the bill is a yoruba-centred one that will benefit only them, and not the southeast.

How are Lagos and Ogun sharing from other place when we don't even get up to 10% of what we contribute to Nigeria. Do you just want to talk to feel alive or you actually believe what you just said? If he asks for resource control now, you will still have something against it as always.

Zulum is making sense here.
Not at all, he is being a complete idiot, states that are dynamic in their approach to revenue generation and partnership with investors will benefit and do so immensely. There is enough scope for every state in the federation to start thinking up ideas to do so.

Those that just want to continue to collect a huge amount of money allocation from funds generated from oyel producing states while doing very little to deserve or earn it WILL suffer.

Thinking about it, the North batted for and got their Sharia law which benefitted them, let's get this Tax Reform bill in that will benefit others (from their point of view), àbi?

There is a weird hypocrisy in state Hisbah police destroying alcohol and those same state governments accepting their share of income generated from the central pot arising from that same alcohol being sold elsewhere.

Zulum is not making sense.

Salewa97:
The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has clarified his position on the controversial tax reform bills, saying he was not an enemy of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Zulum, however, insisted that if the four tax bills currently undergoing review before the Green Chamber are passed into law, only one of the 36 states – Lagos – will be the major beneficiary.

The governor made the clarification when he was featured as a guest on Sunday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.

He said, “I am a strong member of the APC. If you are to count two governors who have been in support of Tinubu from 2019 to 2023, you can mention Prof Zulum. I was the first governor to come out publicly to say that power must go to the South.

“Unfortunately, the President was told by many that the North is against him. About 60.2 per cent of his votes came from the North. There are a lot of misconceptions about this tax issue. During the NEC, we advised the Federal Government to pause for a moment to have a deeper consultation with stakeholders. That was our own statement.

“But later on, people have turned it upside down. I want you to believe that our consultation is central to democracy, and in a democratic setting, we are begging for the right to be consulted. This is only what has happened.”

In the past few weeks, the controversial bills have pitched the 36 state governors against the Federal Government, with the former calling for the withdrawal of the bills to create room for more consultation.

But Zulum had called on his colleagues and Northern stakeholders to reject the bills, insisting that the bills would damage the region’s economy if implemented.

Similarly, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called for transparency and fairness in the ongoing review of
They should be ignored!

Tax reforms Bills is the cheering formula we have been expecting.

The North thinks they could be winning all the Time. A typical example of the Bill is the Vat on alcoholic beverages where shari'a states benefits from it but destroys alcoholic drinks in their domain.
Re: Tinubu's tax reform bill only favours Lagos - Borno Gov, Zulum by ycat:
I think I'm kinda getting an idea what the bill is about going by what I'm reading here, and I like the fact that president Tinubu didn't wait. He should consider an executive order if possible or go for resource control and regional govt that we've been begging for, so every region can do their money as they want.

The highest contributor should be taking the highest amount. In the US, Cali, New York, Texas and Florida contribute the highest and also take the highest. So why is Nigeria different? President Tinubu needs to right this wrong and let every region keep at least 85% of what they generate. The 15% can be used by the center for all. If anyone can do this, it's president Tinubu and I wish him success. If Nigeria can't be a federal system, it has no business being a country.

Nigerians don't know what they have entered yet.

This tax reform bill will be like the PIB, it will enable further state capture and impoverishment of the citizens.

The voices kicking against this can see ahead, most Nigerians can't.
