Its really simple.

Look at it this way.

1. By law, the total distributed is always the total from the entire country.
2. This thread seeks how much is generated from the country less two states.

That can never be the same sum.

Thats all you need to know.
Have you checked the thread to see total distributed with percentages or you just feel like typing?

I think most well to do Ibos live outside their region. Those one outside their region are what give false sense of importance.

South East as a region is so poor and have lesser economic activities in the real sense. Most economic attributes they attribute to them is from their fellow Ibo residing in other region and going back home for x y z.

Their consumption is actually outside not inside the region.

So if their official population is 100 for example, over 30 might be outside that region already and those 30 have more purchasing power than the rest of the 70 remaining at home.

I think I am now starting to believe Soludo statistics
If ibo people living outside their region are wealthier than those living there it means that the region is poor. Just like Nigerans living in the US are much more wealthier than those living in Nigeria on average. SE is truly a barren land. Ibos will surely suffer the most if there were to be a Biafla tomorrow and other regions chase them back to Alaibo.

Thats actually irrelevant. You are free to ask the question as to where they derive the distributive figures from - however that will be meaningless because it is impossible to reserve what is generated from 34 states only and then presume to calculate what is distributed from those states alone when the law only ever works with a distribution from what is generated from the entire country. Besides the fluidity of funds simply makes such a thought experiment entirely meaningless and even illogical.

Again: BY LAW - What is distributed comes from the entire country. By the premise of this thread, what is generated is what is sought - less two states - which can NEVER be the same as what is distributed by law - which is what you claimed. Seunmsg (who you called my master and who I have only ever had criticisms for on account of tribalism) was right when he said that as for what is distributed, you will have to add both left-out states. That is the only logical thing in light of the law.

And oh, what were you saying about VAT not being collected at the point of consumption in Nigeria? So at what point is it collected? And you talk about ignorance.

Joker.

One of the funniest things in this world is watching a midget imagine himself a giant.
Its actually hilarious.

Staying teachable is one of the wisest things in this world. But no one knows it all except you. You are even an expert in all fields of knowledge.

And the over 30 million ibos living in the SE are the poorest people in the country even more than Abokis and poorer than Church Rats?

You're the only one with common sense here
However, all these statistics about VAT cannot be deemed genuine as long as VAT collection is still being done at the point of production instead of consumption. That does not mean the statistics will change but the figure will definitely take a hit
You are the one that showed a lack of "common sense" from all that was being drilled in your head...once more the crux of this thread is simply to show what VAT each region contributed (minus Lagos and Rivers).

E no hard na!

The topic suffices biko but obviously you want to deflect from "this" and bring in some merry-go-round stats that has no bearing on the issue!

Abeg rest!

Nigerian education is being disgraced
So where are the percentages being quoted coming from
Is this how you were taught in school to cherry pick statistical facts
At this rate we need to declare state of emergency on our education

Do you understand the impact of this VAT on the lives of ordinary people in those regions? I mean 4 a struggling economy with 80 million unemployed people,you are happy that VAT is increasing the cost of living? Going by this VAT statistics that means its better for me to live in the SE than SW or SS because the cost of living is low. This is not something that should be celebrated.
You think these people even passed Economics in weac?

E tire person. The topic does suffice as you said. It clearly says - "generated."
How even an intellectual Lilliputian conflates that with what is distributed by law beats me.

Remove South easterners from all the regions quoted. Make them all return to the South east to do their businesses. After that make una call result. Only Christmas holiday and every other region dey dry for one full month. Check the revenue during those periods make we find out something.
Which place dry for Christmas holiday? Lagos, Ibadan, Ogun or where?

You can hide behind smiley emojis all you want but on this thread, I'm sorry to tell, you made your ignorance shamefully bare for all to see!

Stop conflating simple matters like this and asking irrelevant questions that has no bearing whatsoever on the topic. It's simple, read...e no hard!

Hmm...you're right about declaring a state of emergency on our education because if it took a bottle-feeding over-simplification of simple common sense by akpumping7720, for you to "get it" after what seunmsg, deep sight etc said then none in here can help you!

Once more like you've been told by a few on this thread, this is a faceless forum, swallow your pride, shut up and learn!

One Nigeria is actually for every Nigerian, there is nothing like neighbor within this territory.
Every territory belongs to the Federal government.

I mean, even if your people wake up one day and decide to evict the so called neighbors, they can't be able to, they would have the federal government to challenge.
grin I thought you clowns re crying that Yorubas are holding you hostage and not letting you have your biafla, why do you still want to be a Nigerian? This is why no one takes you clowns seriously…..so who re now the unity beggers? undecided

I'm teaching you how a federal system of government works.
I don't care about how you feel or what you think, they are shallow.

Criticizing Nigeria doesn’t erase Nigerian citizenship.
Rights aren’t begged for, it's not a privilege, they’re constitutional.
Confusing secession and rights is the real joke, because they are mutually exclusive.
