South East has oil
South East has Gas

But guess what

Oil companies are all located in their Lagos

Paying VAT, PAYEE, Income tax etc


.ayne South East will disconnect the gas pipelines and oil pipelines from Egbema to Ohaji and Oguta ...then they will mandate the gas firms and oil firms in Lagos to come and open administrative offices in East

Good reason Nigeria needs restructuring. Let SE receive the VAT on imports at Ontsha head bridge and stop paying at Lagos Port, we want to check something. Then, they can also deduct the input from same collections.

Right now, while Lagos collect VAT output from imports, SE deduct input VAT from local output for VAT that was collected at Lagos port. That is robbing Paul and leaving Peter buoyant.

mumu man, is oyo state collecting vat on import too? Or how do you explain the fact that the so called brown roof republic generates more vat than all the billionaire state put together

You can’t give what you don’t have nwokem onne port is closer to you, pls make use of that and stop hiding under Lagos port for your failures as a people

lol


loud mouth people

with the Stay-at-Home policy,do they merit up to that amount?

Yorubas are finally happy they have succeeded in destabilizing and destroying Southeast economically and politically.


Your decades of ganging up with North to marginalize Igbos politically have finally yielded fruit for you guys. You can now celebrate.


The illegal boundary adjustments done by Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba Military Heads of States that took oil rich Imo, Abia and Anambra communities and placed them in Rivers, Akwa Ibom, etc to reduce Igbo economic power in revenue sharing have paid off for you Yorubas. You guys have won.


Your decades of abandoning federal infrastructures in the Southeast amid Igbo people's cries, and making sure every key federal infrastructure, government bodies, agencies and whatnot got concentrated in Lagos has paid off for you guys, you can now rejoice and jubilate, Southeast is forever gone.


Also cheering Buhari on to use heavy militarization, brazen nepotism and cheating to destabilize Southeast by foisting Hope Uzodinma on Imo people against their wish, turning peaceful IPob to a semi radical group and using state sponsored actors, including Fulani militia groups pretending to be herdsmen to cause unknown gunmen, kidnapping, insecurity in the Southeast have finally paid off for you guys. But hear me well, it is not yet an Uhuru for you guys.



Yes Southeast today has become a shadow of itself just within 8 years of APC evil leadership and you guys are laughing and mocking Igbos. No issue, God will keep us all alive to see how this movie will end for the whole Nigeria.


I keep repeating it, with the crop of Yoruba youths Bola Tinubu's APC have raised in Yoruba land, Yoruba's future looks bleak. It may look like nothing now, but time will bring you guys to reality. Your forefathers and fathers followed the path of peace, wisdom and justice which is why Yoruba land is enjoying some progress and peace today, but Bola Tinubu is turning you guys to treacherous, inhumane, unjust and lying devil's in the name of Emilokan politics, remember every action of man comes with its equal reward in time.


If you guys do not desist from this arrogance and senseless attacks and political gangup and instigation other tribes against Igbos for your selfish and devilish political gains, Southwest will pay a heavy price not from Igbos but from natural forces, it's a must, time will make you understand how life works.



You guys have used your tribal religious bigotry, treachery and gangup with the North to sideline Igbos politically for decades and still managed to use it to snatch Obi's mandate in 2023, instead of you guys to sue for peace, embrace peace, extend hand of friendship and call bygones bygones now that you guys are completely in charge, instead you guys are rather using the influence to intimidate, oppress, destabilize and ridicule Southeast and Igbos and you think you and Tinubu controls the affairs of this world? Time will shock you guys, continue with your arrogance and foolery, it will be too shocking, no man will comprehend when its ripe.

You need sense. Bend down select sense at Aba market and I will pay, bills on me. You took time to write lies backed up by cheap propaganda.

While the Southeastern states contributed relatively little to the VAT pool, the region received approximately 3.38 times their contributions.

Same Ebonyi they mock that it's village and has no Aba has proven to be 3 times more VAT-able than Abia, Enugu and Imo.
Smh.

Humility pays in this life because pride goes before disgrace.

We will like to have all the data of how much oil and gas that you scooped from the whole igbo speaking communities of the former Eastern Nigeria, and how much of that ended up in allocations for Lagos and Oyo. Ofcourse from independent sources. You know why? We want you to keep your VAT, while we keep our oil and gas earnings!
Deal?

Softmirror:
The essence of the thread is to exonerate the North from all the bashing they have received calling them PARASITES.

But the north opposed the tax bill and defeated your asiwaju. Ass licking in the mud

Going forward the agitation will focus on total resource control. All earnings must reside with the states or regions. And all seaports must be given equal opportunities. Take away earnings feom Lagos porta, the loquacious southwest contribute ls zilch to Nigerias revenues coffers and they're desperately trying to gaslight and blackmail the east.

Customs VAT is not added to Lagos state VAT collection.

You can see them, liability to the National Wealth

lexy2014:
why particular about SE?

is it the only region that received more than what it contributed to VAT?

SE is the least habitable and most parasitic region. No amount of foolish questions will invalidate the facts.

Liability set

That doesn't change the fact that Niger Delta oil is what is sustaining the Nigeria economy making up over 70% of Budget revenue and 95% of foreign Exchange revenue.

Is anyone surprised why the yoruba people suddenly started shouting about VAT and the North suddenly shouting about how they're feeding the nation when Niger Delta is the one feeding everyone?

Niger Delta has been conquered. Shame on Tompolo, Asari Dokubo and the rest stomach infrastructure militants. They caused this

SW and North are human beings like you.

Why did SE cowardly allow fellow humans.. fellow Nigerians to colonize them after the British left ?

Tell me the sense that will be there, if Lagos where the port are can not generate tax from it. Assuming it's cotonou port it arrives, won't they collect their own tax? Sea is a natural resources God bless Lagos with, they need benefits from it

IGBOS ARE PARASITES 🪱 🪱 🪱

SHAMELESS IGBOCRITES.

Nigeria has to go back to REGIONALISM, we cannot continue to rob Peter (the South West & South South) to Pay Paul (the South East).

Please, can u tell us how much the fraudulent federal government of Nigeria made from south eastern states crude oil and natural gas sales.
Fraudulent country!

Please what is there to argue in this factual news?

What is there to argue about?

Princess Faith is screwing some sense into you. You have been weirdly sensible these days

I am not against them making money from it. But Rivers state, Akwa Ibom state, Cross River State, Bayelsa and Delta states, all have long sea shore and need to start earning from theirs too..

How much was taken from Imo, Abia and Anambra oil and gas? Don't be mischievous, tell the whole story.

Lagos wants to keep their vat despite being built with coal and oil money from Enugu and other states. The north has kept it's gold, now Lagos wants to keep the country's collective vat.

Remember, once this vat succeeds, full resource control will be pushed and activated. You cannot keep the nation's collective vat, turn around to also take the natural resources from ss and se.

Then let southwest declare Oduduwa Republic to stop association with the southeast.
Bayo Onanuga propaganda is wining up Agbadorians.

Southeast and southsouth contribute the crude oyel and gas that fuel the economy to create VAT; Bayo Onanuga would not tell Agbadorians this.

Stop your negative yarns. In Lagos, who are the major contributors to the tax regime that swelled up the IGR you are making noise?

Do your research and let us know. It's not Ronu businesses that swelled up the IGR.

Why didn't they also add the revenues from mining, oil and gas the south east generates daily? I don't take all these their vat gibberish serious.

And yet if they tell you people to allow the South east to exit Nigeria as a seperate country, you people will be ready to fight civil war, or start calling Zik and Ironsi.

Since you guys cannot do without South East in your useless 'one Nigeria', stop complaining

It up to their Governors, they should invest on sea port instead of airport run away they are wasting money on

Return to good school.

Southeast and southsouth hold the economy of Nigeria. Your region refused to give up to crude oyel and gas deposits from the southeast and southsouth regions. Why?
If you take southeast and southsouth out of Nigeria, the economy of the sw and northern region will be worse than those of Niger and Mali.
You are a semi-illiterate in Economics.
