Can we tell TInubu to allow states collect their VAT? Please?

Overall VAT Is very scanty really...7 trillion naira doesn't do much for the budget, and it doesn't raise overall tax to gdp. Yet people talk about it as if it raises over 100 times more than it actually raises.

The drug kingpin and his evil associates will be disgraced soon,

This I have seen!

Why is FCT never included in VAT?
This is robbing NC of much needed funds

The drug region and their Lamba Lord kingpin will be disgraced soon


This is inevitable

Kukutente23:

The NC region received 198% more than what they contribute

What else do you expect? 300%

Remora regions, what yah say?

While some are generating more to earn less, some are just leeches. Nigeria needs to be reorganised.

They will tell you to remove ogun state because its closed to Lagos state

And then ?

Next please, na statistics we go chop ?

VAT that it's generation process transcends state and geopolitical zone boundary is your new propaganda against South east.

You started your propaganda with education claiming southwest were ahead. We digraced you with WAEC, JAMB and NYSC data showing southeast ahead and southwest only struggling with northern states sometimes. They started hiding and denying education statistics.

You moved to economic performance. We used GDP data to prove that Imo and Anambra is bigger than all southwest states economy except Lagos that enjoys economic monopoly. They resorted to systematically hiding GDP figures.

The jumped to IGR, publishing every IGR figure they believe paints the east in bad light, even though IGR is almost an inconsequential and unreliable parameter. Enugu grew it's IGR past Ogun and even Rivers state and Imo has also started growing its own. They have now started discrediting IGR figures they promoted.

They started promoting claims of that south east is "barren". We again proved to them that the natural gas in the East is bigger than the crude oil in the Niger Delta.

Their lastest obsession is VAT that is generated in multiple locations and ascribed to a single location. They live in constant fear and psychological insecurity of being exposed for the le*ches they are, that's why they constantly attack southeasterners to confuse people .

Dangote cement in ogun state, ogun state has a lot of companies too

IGR bigger than jupiter.

For the umpteenth time, you lots keep bringing this topic to make you feel good

You generate revenue for tinubu to loot and you are happy while crying ebimpawaa

When they check the people who generate the revenue, the picture changes.

Remember Agbero & thugs don't generate revenue.
It's why many dey fear break up of Nija.😄

Sensible people can see through their shenanigans.

After paying VAT and IGR they still dey suffer.
Whats the point?

The chest beaters received nearly triple of what they contributed.

If the exchange rate is well balanced, then it would make alot of sense.

keep quiet and see the discrepancies and imbalance in VAT distributions to states.

helinues:
Remora regions, what yah say?

What do you do for a living?

Tax should be collected by state

We all know who runs Nija economy.
We all know that if they leave, many regions will be empty.

If not why are they scared of igbos leaving ❓

that has always been the question


WHY

Southeast is the richest billionaire region in the world 🌍!










They are so rich that they don't have to work on Mondays

Hmmmmmm, some people are just leeches... why can't they just leave this country

ariesbull:
that has always been the question


WHY

It's obvious the reason.
Igbos do business not loud noise.

Noise can't generate revenue , business does .
And we all know whom the business people are 😎

God bless U for this revelation about containers

Imagine the loss of revenue to that region, when igbos start using the ports in the East .

It's becoming clear why some regions dey fear igbo exit

Southeasterners contributed over triple that amount in other other zones of residence
