What of SE.
A region devastated by 3years of civil war must deserve 10% of VAT then.
Yet no single senator from the SE has seen this anomaly!All they are interested in is embezzling money to go and build big mansions in their villages and be worshipped as tin gods by their marginalized and impoverished kinsmen.
Your senators what's their plans concerning your kinsmen in Kwara that have be living in bondage under fulani emir huh
They are busy dancing Owambe in Lagos while other western states are living in penury, instead of guys to focus on the topic you moved your problem to southeast, If Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff slap Tinubu una go blame Igbo, If Dino insult Tinbu's wife, una go blame Igbo, if Kwankwso give Ambode order not to relocate Mile 12 market una go blame Igbo, if Buhari teach Tinubu Bitter lesson una go blame Igbo, waiting concern Igbos for this topic ??

Are you this daft? AWOLOWO was against one Nigeria, he wanted true regions system and secession clause on the Nigeria constitution before independent but your father AZIKIWE want one Nigeria and form Alliance with the north.

When bill was sponsored to have 1% of national income to develop Lagos, the igbos legislature in the house go against despite the fact that it will also be beneficial to the igbo large community on Lagos.

Nigeria need to be rule base on a strong regional government or each region should go their separate ways
now a Yoruba man is considering going separate ways. y is it that u guys can't be stable and believe in something

When it will favour North you won't know when they debate and pass it to law but when it comes to the South it turns to National debate and won't even pass 1st reading... I am not tribalist but sometime the way this country is run is not fair. It just pain me that the yorubas were deceived and I just hope they learn the 3rd time (after Awolowo and Tinubu ).
Yorubas r too greedy n selfish to learn.As far as they r next in power they r ok.Their noise will continue n u might think of them dumping Buhari but they will nt.So leave them alone.They fail 2 realize dat these acts reduces d prowess n committmnt of it ppl.

That was after he failed, deceived and dumped by the North. Just like the way Tinubu is wailing and rebeling against them partially after been used and dumped. Too late
U are a poor student of history oga....go and learn....AWO only came close to the north after he was released from prison,to work with Gowon....which is not even a core northerner.....remember aguiyi ironsi failed to release him,and azikwe prefer to work with balewa,so he has the right ti choose who to partner with.

Why are the Lagos senators complaining?
When Niger Deltans called for resource control, they branded them as "lazy" greedy people for wanting what is rightfully theirs.
Niger Delta states suffer extreme environmental degradation and abandonment and in the end, 87% of the oil wealth is taken to the capital while they're left with 13%. Now the bloody hypocrites in Lagos are crying because of 3% VAT. Isn't that stupidity?
When it comes to oil, the black monkeys scream "Our Commonwealth". Now we're talking VAT and the numbskulls are crying. Your political agitations are never about justice or fairness but greedy parochial interests.

When Jonathan kicked off the National Conference, Tinubu attacked it (to serve his own selfish political calculations) and his Lagos lackeys followed him. They never envisioned a day like this coming to pass, but it has happened. They threw out the other fair government because they believed having their "brother" as vice president would help them sit at the table with their master. Now, kasala don burst. The Lagos Special Status bill has ended up in the sewage pit where it rightfully belongs, and now even their VAT is going to be spent on abbokis in far away North East.

Hurts, doesn't it?
LMFAO!!!

Awon oloriburuku! They want to use Lagos money to rebuild their dammed region, and they gat the mind to shout down our senators requesting for 1%. Na lagoon sure pass.
Is not Lagos wealth, is national wealth. Just like Lagos enjoys resources that belongs to Niger Delta people.

What the Lagos government is asking for is irrelevant and nothing to pursue nor right home about.

The NE is suffering from terrorist attack...
If I may ask what is Lagos suffering from?
What kinda greedy sw senators do we even have in our senate.

The other day was special status for Lagos, a bill sponsored by the wife if tinubu, remi tinubu. What kinda fuvk is that?!?!
For this economic recession? Do they think other states are fools or what??

I encourage all the States and regions to be reawakened to avoid a set of scavengers and parasitic entities riding on them. Ignorance is never an excuse. Fight for your rights, your states and your regions.

Is so sad this is the nature of things as some ingrates Are hellbent in ripping us of our collective Commonwealth through the Senate.
Let me quote this for reference.

Since after the civil war fought in Nigeria, has the government development the southeast? No! yet they are planning on developing the northeast that is still at risk with more attacks due to fuuucked up ideology and fanatical teachings of their youths. Rather Igbos properties were seized in various part of the country and when Igbos struggled to get to were they are now, some disgruntled Nigerians term them that "Igbos too like money", why won't they like money? Is it not money that they will use to develop their areas destroyed after the war? Now monies from Nigeria pocket will be use for development of those areas which is still at war. I have always said it that we southerners have no sense at all. OBJ, GEJ etc were all waste to the southern interest, rather they were forming good guys, good guys my arse! It's a lesson to southerners next time we'll reason with our functional brains. Hate and envy won't take us anywhere. Don't worry in few years time when all those people Buhari has fixed up in various government establishment will raise to the top and colonised the system then we go know wetin done hit us, by then it will be too late. Northerners are futuristic, while we down south just dey see only present situations. Goodmorning southern Nigerians. sad

I am also glad that this bill was passed. It is an eye opener to successive governments on how best to guarantee extra revenue to your region while sitting as president. Kudos to our abokii friends. They have demonstrated mastery of the Nigerian political landscape and I will gladly say, they are the jagabans of these era. For those self acclaimed jagabans who will be working their asses off to generate VAT and taxes for the northern development commission to share, your right title should be Afonja .

Considering that most of the VAT will be coming from Lagos based coys... I think it is right to say Lagos is a conquered territory, and has started paying tribute tax to their captors. Abokii wants a slice of the Lagos IGR to fund development up north.

If Lagos is not given the 1% they asked for, then please my NL e warriors from that region instead of focusing on IPOB and NDA issue, be useful to your generations and create threads on that. In fact, they should borrow a leaf from Mr. bourdillon, his media outlets have started their work...

The South south created militancy and have used it to get NDDC, amnesty and even presidency . The abokii have created boko haram and they are about to start enjoying the fruits of their labour. My SE people have started massob and ipob. One day, their turn will come. My people from SW, It is only you that waka come with no wahala to use make noise because me..I am not understanding . .


For those who supported the northern trojan horse called "APC" , while your region has not benefited from the APC LOOT, congrats, you typify the phrase "useful idiots" . Don't worry, you have a few ministers appointed to head numerous portfolios as your reward. Am sure those ministers wake up every morning with your progress in his mind

TheFreeOne:
Anytime I listened to this issue regarding NE development I just laugh.

These northern elites/politicians will end up embezzling those funds using their cronies to get contracts. Unfortunately those dudes don't want any development aside using their people/almajiris to perpetuate themselves in order to control naija resources.

Why do those who promised support to fund the redevelopment not forthcoming again? They understand the game hence their lukewarm attitude to it.

And isn't 3% over 10yrs crazy? I have said it severally and will say it again southerners are there own worst enemies and will continue to play second fiddle until we all have a serious brain reset and do the right thing.
It is the Afonjas in the South you will hold responsible

Now they are trying to use the taxes my igbo brothers pay in Lagos to rebuild their ravaged region
You people brought your current predicament to yourselves

Yea Igbos are doing great without much support from government. That oil being discovered in Lagos will b used to restructure the north east. That's good since them like Hausa/Fulani babes too much

yorubas should know that it is impossible for them to get what they deserve when the North has an advantage, This is a regime for the North, they destroyed a southern regime because it failed to marginalize igbos for them, now they have an anti igbo regime but they will only manage crumbs, so they should shvt up. Igbos will move en masse to the NE when the money start flowing there, milk the money and repatriate home
Una people they repatriate money? no wonder some of your money miss road brothers were desperate to sell a house of 50m for 5m in the tick of boko haram crisis.
If una wan talk this kain yeye talk no be for place like nairaland where eyes ears and brains dey open o.

so the igbos went against the bill? Are u kidding me? When the aggression was as a result of the comments made by one senator from osun state which made the Northern senators to shoot the bill down. Why is it when the sw has a confrontation with the North,all of a sudden the igbos come into the picture? Please what power does the igbo senators have when u have 19 Northern representatives.

yorubas will pretend they care about resource control on pages of newspapers but go to senate and HOR to shoot it down. Now they are begging others to support their 'special status' jamboree. Why don't you ask your Oba of lagoon to threaten all members of National Assembly if he doesn't get the special status. You slimy treacherous afonjas will continue to get served your own medicine.
Re: Breaking: Lagos Senators Kick Against Approved 3% VAT Deduction For Northeast by FakoMaybach1: 9:18am On Oct 21, 2016
Well i only have one line to quote from G.O.T

All hail Muhammadu Buhari, The king in the north

His trip to Germany was to source solar power plants for northern states, he asked for money to re-route water into chad basin, he wants companies to be set up in the north, he has made a deal with saraki to pass this north-east development commission so as to have his charges dropped,Bubu is planning to give northerners one meal a day with 5k for them to hold their side, Northern governors are now U.S special guests, The north will be developed in Agriculture, Power, technology, skill transfer, Information technology etc and after that they will break up the entity

i doff my hat to the king in the north, Long may he reign

P.S Igbo's have started massive investment in the east as i talk to you now plans are underway for huge companies that will manifest soon, the one in anambra is small watch out for imo, enugu, abia (i cant speak for ebonyi cus i have no data)
we will match them stride by stride, they have buhari plus obama and merkel, we have God and strong will power: when there is a will there is a way

An igbo man always pays his debt
Re: Breaking: Lagos Senators Kick Against Approved 3% VAT Deduction For Northeast by obailala(m): 10:50am On Oct 21, 2016
For issues where one expects southerners to speak with one voice, these are typically the times you see the idiotic yoruba vs igbo fights reach the peak and at the end of the day, the north takes away all the spoils. Then again the southerners go home wailing about how the north gets everything. Education truly doesn't guarantee wisdom or common sense. undecided
