Christistruth02:
Oyo is being heavily over taxed
Oyo paid ₦272.41 billion in VAT

Entire SE paid N101.10 Billion in VAT

It is not fair


Oyo deserves Tax Refund and Tax rebates

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

WINON1:
Shut up, South easterners are the engine room of the sw economy .

rigid123:
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.

Onyiridike:
Foolish Analysis.
If all Igbo businesses are moved to SE, Anambra alone will be richer than the entire SW and North combined.

The VAT you boast of are contributed by Igbos. Your people do not pay tax neither do they do any lucrative business.

Any Yoruba landlord depends on Igbos to get good house rent, same in the North.

You think your forefathers who fought civil war for three years are fools? They know that without the industrious Igbos, Nigeria is dead.
Which tribe imports goods in Nigeria?
Which tribe pays business permit and tax to state government?

In the North, if Igbos are celebrating Igbo day, commercial activity in the whole city is dwarfed. It is as if there is a curfew until they resume back.

Please, I dare you to divide the country. Tell Tinubu to make the move.

Umuinyioku:
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.

gidgiddy:
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

Validated:
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.

codemaniacs:
businesses are established close to their target market so igbo businesses that move to the SE Anambra will spend more transporting their goods to their target which means they will lose money and gradually go out of business and close down the business.

which is also the reason your ancestors started the civil war because after independence Ahmadu Bello, Akintola were working towards replacing i:gbos who had federal jobs in the north and western Nigeria due to the British favoring i:gbos over other Nigerians...

You said Yoruba people don't pay tax but also call them landlords, Landlords have to pay property taxes every year so stop contradicting yourself.

Don't compare SW and the north. the north does not have the billions of $$$ diaspora remittances that the SW has which also helps the SW purchasing power...

if i:gbos were industrious then the i:gbos won't be living outside the SE and you won't claim to have job in Ogun state and brag about job in Ogun state... you will be bragging about jobs in Anambra not Ogun.

importing is a bad form of trade and it affects the balance of payment of a country.. so bragging about importing goods is pure foolishness..

Alaska90:
You dont know what you are saying. Go and check the figure properly and you will see that OYO state collected more than all the 5 states of south east.....just OYO state alone. so this not just about Lagos

ProudlyLagos:
keep that propaganda to your ipob WhatsApp group…you contribute to the IGR in Lagos but can’t do same in your shitty region that is predominately ibo? Pls make it make sense? And besides your petty trade and your 2*2 shops are not even up to what Adenuga Glo alone pay as tax and we have told you empty noise makers severally to locate your substandard wares back to your shitty region where they need the tax more or is it your tax that also makes oyo state generate more tax than all the state in your shitty region?

Sense is really far from you illiterate traders, this is really beyond you below is the list of companies that pay real tax in Lagos and not your okrika nonsense

ProudlyLagos:
keep consoling yourself with that stale nonsense… you lot over hype your existence, like the world revolves around you.

The last time Lagospedia ask you lot to leave Lagos and relocate back to your shithole, we knew how you label us tribalist you keep migrating in night buses on a daily to Lagos, and you expect any sensible adult to take you noise maker’s seriously? The joke is on you

franchasofficia:
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.

PresidObi:
As Nigeria is currently structured, I will urge South east states to stop declaring their VAT, hide and use it to develop the region, but collect as much as you can from the centre

It's not only them that knows the trick of mining our oil and gas and giving us peanuts in the name of allocations.

If you are not happy, let's do regional governments or full state autonomy.

Am sick and tired of people from parasitic states opening useless threads like this one to mock those feeding them.

Tinubuagbado:
Idiots that can't even travel

Most Yorubads don't travel at all. They'll be in Osu-n and tell you what's happening in Umuahia they've never been to all their life.

Yoruba travel and see...

gidgiddy:
You don't have to be in the same country with the South East. There are millions of Indians, Lebanese and Chinese in Nigeria, yet you are not in the same country with India, Lebanon or China. That people go somewhere to seek economic opportunities does not mean you must share a country with them

If anyone has a problem with South East, support them to go their way as a seperate country. But if you insist on 'one Nigeria', then take anything you see with South East

PresidObi:
It's a crying shame that Lagos couldn't generate at least 180 trillion dollars from our ports and all our company headquarters stationed there. I think there is heavy fraud going on there. They must be hiding some revenue.

Onyiridike:
I urge you to travel so that you will know that the world is bigger than your ewedu farm.

Igbos go to other parts of the country because south east is already saturated with SMEs and local industries.

Why not find out why FG has ensured that the ports close to SE are not functional. The same reason they joined hands with the North to ensure that Igbo man never becomes president.

ProudlyLagos:
😂😂mumu man, you left your shitty region for Lagos my father land, so I should be the one asking you to go fu*k yourself

No one migrates to your shitty region, you are the one that is leeching on us, we have called off your bluff severally, and asked you to return back home, or are we not audible enough? But you rather die in yorubaland than migrate back home. You need us more than we need you, and the trend of migration proves that fact

You lot are leeches and it’s quite obvious from the stats eat the humble pie nwokem…Yoruba lagba, both politically and economically, we no be mate

South Africa is saturated with SMEs and local industries and international industries which is why South Africans do not look for jobs outside of South Africa.

if the SE is saturated with SMEs and local industries as you claim then i:gbos won't be looking for jobs outside of the SE states because the saturation itself will create jobs to the extent that people from outside the SE will move to the SE to look for jobs so stop deceiving yourself..

All the ports are functional.

There's a port in Rivers state called "PORT Harcourt".

There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port.

An igbo man can become president..

Who be the moderator that pushed this nonsense online

ariesbull:
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
