You never get update bro. They are now asking you to remove Ogun state too.

Funniest thing be say, after Lagos, na Oyo be the highest. Even higher than Ogun state.

When the guy know that reality, he go change mouth say make we remove Oyo too.

What I don’t understand is that how exactly is North East generating more value added tax than South East? Is it that bad in the South East?

Lol. The best is the reply from guy who said they should remove South West from the South west to balance the equation lol.

He knows the losers just can't accep that ,factually, they are nobody in the Nigerian hierarchy.

I don't know what this thread shows other than poor reasoning ability of the Cable crew

The amount recieved and the amount contributed does not match so what is responsible for the mismatch if you are considering regions with Lagos and Rivers excluded?

The mismatch shows that there is a factor not being considered in this analysis

What do you expect from people that will prefer to fight alongside Burkina Faso against Nigeria. Is anything good expected from such people?

The only thing that will solve this parasitic advantage of our lousy neighbors is to cancel the feeding bottle arrangement and allow everyone cater for itself and give certain percentage to the centre.

The same lazy region are still the one that put pressure in other region's infrastructure yet they won't appreciate the kind gesture of the benevolent neighbor

Isn't it obvious that the guy is trolling?

Na wa o

Bigotry has fried some people's brain

The noise makers will never stop changing the goal post as usual They are just dragging the south backward.

Without Nigeria that particular region will be a dead zone.

Walahi he is not trolling.

That his line of thought have been used on Nairaland multiple times before where they say Ogun is this and that because of proximity.

There are other takes on that twitter thread that is more nauseating than that guy’s take.

Be like you no know how Obidient people brain work.

Wait o. Almost 30% of our budget goes to defense, waste money for bandit and BH enabler and sponsor.

SS and SW need to wake up and do something

When Nnamdi Azikwe was shouting *One Nigeria is non-negotiable* , una think say him no know wassup?

Him know say Ibo land is nothing without one Nigeria..

There is no real record of VAT by states in Nigeria.

Nigeria hasn't adopted a method of capturing VAT data at point of sales/consumption.

Indeed.

You said your neighbour is stealing from you. The neighbour wants to leave you and you refuse.
There must be something you're gaining from that man. You may be the one stealing from your neighbour.

It is what you produce and sell that you pay VAT from. If you produce in Oyo, VAT paid is credited to Oyo. Hotels pay VAT for instance, can it be credited to another state?. It is only the telecoms companies especially that people say the VAT should not be credited to one state

It is to do with population. The NE is far more than the SE in population and population is what brings economic activity

Dot the i's and cross the t's.

Remember these billionaires don't patronize local products. They order everything they use from abroad. That's why they have the lowest VAT contribution.

I agree with use, their internet usage data reveals they are tokunbo, they subscribed to foreign network that's why the are at the bottom

Very funny thread.

North also buys around sixty percent of cement produced in the country and I believe they are not up to that percentage of the total population. NIN registration data says they are around fifty five percent. The more you look the less you see. Poor people are building houses more than rich people

But you are all billionaires na.

Have you ever seen any Ekene Dili Chukwu heading to the East from Lagos that was stopped, and the driver told to turn back to Lagos as the Lagos people would miss those on the bus?
