Kukutente23:I am still reading it, and the few points have come across seems to be in favour of the mass and small scale business owners Am from Delta State, so I'll be glad if what is coming from my State VAT, at least a 60% chunk remains in my State instead of 100% going to Abuja and a meagre 30% come back to my State. Please Sir, I'll urge you to read it ![]()

eddychukwu:Nobody settle him, you people are just against Tinubu cos he defeated your brother last year. Everything to igbos after election loss in antagonizing the current government. We south south don't play foolish politics you people play. Only a fool will not support the tax bill. He said when niger delta through Yaradua proposed ten percent to host community with oil, it was same national assembly that reduced it to three percent and heaven didn't fall, so this tax bill will scale through too. If not that Tinubu has not be able to get the economy going but maybe his reform can yield result soonest. I support some of action taken. He is the only southerner president that can put the north were they belong to. You igbos are supporting the north against Tinubu and same you people always condemned the Yorubas of slave to the Northerns. Who is the really slave now, Obi who pride itself as saint was a guest lecturer to Atiku's university he built as a serving vice president. Atiku is one of the people he said he will dismantle the structure of criminality and now he has been hosted by same man. Under pdp, you igbos has been slave to Northerns since 1999 and only tears and sorrow you all got but the Yorubas been politically smart produced two president and a vice president same since 1999. We south south can't play nzogbu nzogbu politics. We play national politics. Don't be surprised we will produce a president again before you people. |

The North will never support it. Sharia states don’t tolerate Alcohol yet they get allocation from it. Seems the tax reform bill will prohibit them from getting allocations from alcohol as only states who produces it will get taxed via vat and get federal allocation as a result |

Kukutente23:Can you mention Southern governors that are against the bill? The bill is good for Nigeria. It's not about North and South. It's a bill of productivity, it's a bill that will enhance creativity for each state on how to utilize their human and natural resources. |

There should be an anticorruption bill to go along with this tax bill. We can't be paying money to government only for it to be looted and mismanaged. |

TOPCRUISE:Not only alcoholic beverages but also lottery and betting shops. They call it haram but allocations from lottery and betting companies are not haram. Their hypocrisy stinks |

Fuckyoumod:VAT WAR: REMOVE THE VAT ON YOUR ALCOHOL AND GET DRUNK TO STUPOR WITH CHEAP ALCOHOL. PERIOD! By Cham Faliya Sharon I have a feeling that the word stupid is derived from the word stupor, which literally means being dull to intellect or intelligence, or being numb and dumb and dull to one's self-awareness. But then, we are talking about VAT. Therefore, let's talk about VAT, and then we'll get to numb and dumb and dull and whatever. The North's chief occupation is agriculture, and governments don't charge VAT on agricultural products so that they can be not too expensive for you. That you have more VAT than the North doesn't make you more productive than them. Actually, there has never ever been any evidence that you are more productive than them in either entrepreneurship or agriculture or in any worthwhile venture. That's why a little strike by onion farmers or sweet pepper farmers or tomato farmers always puts you in a chokehold of hunger and lamentation. The breweries and soft drink plants, including other factories in your areas, that produce high VAT revenues use these same agricultural materials from the North that have not been VATed. In other words, if VAT were to be charged on them ab initio, the North will record huge VAT revenues solely from agriculture without mentioning other ventures. Therefore, it is absolutely absurd to gloat on purported high VAT revenues without considering all the factors involved in generating the VAT. And if you mock some northern states for receiving VAT earned from breweries while still banning the sales and consumption of alcohol in their states, then from where did you get the corn, sorghum, and sugarcane products you used in brewing it? If this VAT war is to continue as it were, with excessively garrulous pomposity and arrogance oozing out from those who seemingly know nothing about the basic elements of economics and production but yet derive pleasure in ascribing parasitism to those who truly earn the rights of being labelled as the most productive people in land use and entrepreneurship in Nigeria, then let VAT be charged on all agricultural products, including the corn, sorghum, wheat, barley, and sugarcane that are used as the primary ingredients for brewing alcohol. Of course, food prices will go up in addition to their current astronomical rise due to the unwholesome embrace of IMF diktats by the IMF surrogates in power, but the accruing VAT earnings will help raise the VAT profile of Northern states that are usually being ridiculed as parasites by beetleheads, and the farmers there in the North will also get huge (deserved) bumps in their financial earnings due to enhanced valuation of the prices of their farm produce, including cattle, sheep, goats, and other livestock. And if by charging VAT on agricultural products the prices of alcohol brands end up getting affected by becoming expensive, then the people in the states where breweries are located can beg the federal government to remove VAT on alcohol at their own end so that alcohol can become cheap, and so that they can be drinking themselves to stupor with cheap alcohol. In fact, by removing VAT from alcohol it will even help them to stop mocking northern states whom they accuse of "receiving VAT from alcohol" sales while subscribing themselves to religious conservatism. That way, we can all be spared the annual hypocritical noises of mockery from people who are confused about what they own and what they don't own, or what they believe in and what they don't believe in. When you don't know what you actually own and what you actually believe in, the quest for morality will either elude you or appear elusive to you, and that's the point at which you begin to mock those who are making genuine efforts towards attaining genuine morality because pride in alcohol has made you numb and dumb and dull to the realities of your own backyard. |

kedeojo:Can you just shut up with your ranting about igbos? Who told you the person you quoted was igbo? On a faceless forum ? Most you lack critical thinking,the ohanaeze ndigbo has declared support for the tax bill,where did you get information that igbos are against the bill? You claim to play national politics but was only able to get 3% from the PIB bill.. You or the yorubas are not any smarter when it comes to politics,you are only banking on the brunt of the civil war,which y’ll use to cheat and marginalize the igbos,if not,what is that special thing you are doing that the igbos are not doing? What do you have that the igbos don’t have? Has any politician built bridges more than Peter obi in recent times? has anyone gotten more organic support than Peter obi in recent times? Every true south southerner knows Peter obi won that last election,unless your definition of national politics is rigging!! You may claim to be from south south but you have yoruba blood in you, trying to blackmail others into supporting the bill,I have seen your likes a lot ! |

gbengene1234:Well, even Tinubu depended on the audio population to enter govt. He won in only 12 states, mostly rural while Obi won in 13 and Atiku 12 as well. So if not for the audio population, he probably will not be on that seat now. But we'll see sha |
| Re: Seriake Dickson Supports Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills by Kukutente23: 8:11am On Dec 03, 2024 |
Amumaigwe:We do not need increased taxation now. We need tax reliefs as the economy is slowing down obviously. Also household income is already struggling with disposables taking over 60% of income so this is the time for tax cuts not more streamlining. What most don't realise is that this bill will make Federal government which has been mostly inefficient at income tax computation and collection to become more stringent with it and the effect will be seen on the streets. Most states that have been tax lax will take a cue and start enacting stringent tax laws which will further exacerbate the situation. Most do not understand that these bills are only for federal only. Imagine having to pay federal, state and LG taxes in this dwindling economy. |

Kukutente23:Only some South Easterners are against the bill. The majority of those in the SS and SW are for the bill. |
| Re: Seriake Dickson Supports Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills by bitbillionaire: 8:26am On Dec 03, 2024 |
seunowa:Hmmm! Talking about oil and gas, (correct me if I am wrong) consumers of oil and gas and other related products are those in highly populated industrial/commercial affluent cities of the country, not necessarily the host community or states where the oil and gas is gotten from (unless they have high population and industries). I think it is a big mistake for Niger Delta people to allow anti-north sentiment make them over-rejoice and support the proposed VAT law blindly. In the whole south and by extension the whole Nigeria it is Lagos that will benefit massively from the proposed VAT law then followed by Rivers State and Abuja. Majority of other states will suffer for it. It's not only northern states that will be affected. But states in SW, SE and SS will be affected. Na only Lagos the bill go favour massively for obvious reasons oooo. Let's think twice and think deeply about this matter before joining the bandwagon of those supporting it. |
| Re: Seriake Dickson Supports Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills by Amumaigwe: 8:30am On Dec 03, 2024 |
Safyqueen:The above submission is a no-brainer. You claim that the North is a productive geopolitical zone, yet they resists every attempt made at restructuring using their overbloated and disproportionate representation in the NA which they justify using their large unproductive population. Why then would a region with a population size that determines who wins election in Nigeria be depending on a less populated South for VAT revenue that is generated from a consuming population? That should be the conversation and not threat of withholding their farm produce that they readily offload on the south at premium prices. It is equivalent to a country like China threatening to stop exports to important markets like US or India as a means of pressing home their importance. Can they consume all their finished goods? It is the buyer, not the seller, that holds all the aces in commerce. Rather than throwing tantrums like an infant that was just weaned off the mother's breasttmilk , the North should put their population to work. |
| Re: Seriake Dickson Supports Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills by AwkaFinest: 8:31am On Dec 03, 2024 |
Kukutente23:Bayelsa with the least population generated more VAT than over 30 other states. Only Lagos: N249.77bn. Rivers: N70.54bn. Oyo: N20.11bn. FCT: N18.17bn. and Delta: N13.09bn generate more VAT than Bayelsa. This tells you that Bayelsa has been milked for too long. To answer your question is, if the bill is passed it will favour Bayelsa as things stands today. |
| Re: Seriake Dickson Supports Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills by Kukutente23: 8:49am On Dec 03, 2024 |
AwkaFinest:So how much was allocated to Bayelsa. It's not only about generation but also allocation. Bayelsa from 2021 data I see online got more than it generated. Meanwhile, like I said, if Bayelsa with the least population is generating more VAT than a state like Kano or Kaduna, that shows that something is wrong with either the collection or the computation of VAT |
| Re: Seriake Dickson Supports Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills by thriz: 9:03am On Dec 03, 2024 |
Kukutente23:Have you asked yourself, do you consume what is not produced? Most of those states in the north destroy breweries and collect from the proceeds of the ones in the south. Those years in Kano, there was northern breweries a big industry, where is it today. The north should stop being lazy |
| Re: Seriake Dickson Supports Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills by Kukutente23: 9:09am On Dec 03, 2024 |
thriz:You can consume what you do not produce. Nigeria does that a lot which is why we are described as an import dependent economy. You guys hang so much on alcohol. Of course destroying it is bad and the proceeds should not be shared with those who do not consume it. But I bet northerners also have their own consumption patterns that is different from the South. Consumption is a function of spending power and then numbers. The south have spending power obviously but according to the statistics not the number. So there is still a disconnect somewhere in the VAT proceeds. |
