Good development!
They should extend same treatment to those in the army and all APC politicians.

I support Wike on this, Umahi needs psychiatrist evaluation for being such a ridiculous sycophant and for talking without reasoning well.

If he thinks Igbos will defend him then he will be shocked when we will first throw eggs and tomatoes at him for being a source of unnecessary embarrassment to us.

Meanwhile, why is that former cheif of army staff and potential crimes against humanity criminal doing all over the East? Few days ago he was in Anambra now he is in Ebonyi, it seems he is trying to famz his way to our politicians. However, he should know that when it comes to the East, it is the masses that weild the power.

TEDHorsePower:
[s]Anuofia, we know about your veiled hate and envy towards Anambra. You parade over 200 monikers including galaxypropertie, ihatewike, etc.

Why would you ask the guy for the source if not because you doubted him out of your envy and bitterness?

I will keep exposing you ediots that hide within igbo unity to hate on Anambra due to your envy toward the progressive state.

Onye ala

You sleep and wake up hating on other Igbo states but whenever any Igbo state (including Anambra) is attacked by either North or West, the same Igbos you hate will defend Anambra but you imposter will go to sleep or just wait to see how you will conveniently side with them to attack Imo, Enugu, Abia or Ebonyi.

Go to threads about these Igbo states and your different monikers will be everywhere spilling bile against them.

You're not smart enough to pull off your impersonation, because anyone can easily see through it.

Stop decieving yourself and return to the North where you come from. Anambra people are not known to be foolish. Do you see real Anambra people like attacking other Igbo states? No! Because he is a real Igbo man to the core! But abobaku imposters like you from Kogi state will always be disgracing yourself and your entire generation.

Onye aburu onu!
Anumachobiri!!
Ezi ohia!!!

TEDHorsePower:
Shut up ezi, you are an Imo man but envious and bitter about Anambra. You think we dont know about your veiled hate and envy.

When someone in Anambra thread said that Anambra leads in VAT in igbo land, you quickly jumped in to question his source. Why would you ask for source if truly you meant well. Proeast, you cannot hide your colour.

Na me fit all of una.

[s][/s]

Nwa bingo from almajiri states claiming to be from Anambra. Look at how he is trying to reduce this to a contest between Igbo states when it's a national problem between North and South.

Only an ignorant fool who doesn't know you're an imposter from parasitic North.

I asked for the source because I have been searching for data on VAT generation among states. How does that indicate I'm not happy for Anambra?

Anambra is probably the most Industrialized state in both SE and SS, but you will always limit it to SE just to sow seed of discord among brothers and not promote SE.

Your hate for anything Igbo is known by all, you can't love Anambra and hate Igbos because only an imposter will do that. You with your 100 monikers and that guy that calls himself juliusmalema are hateful imposters using Anambra to attack Igbo interests.

Anu ohia!
Ezi Bida!!

TEDHorsePower:
[s]Proeast the envious bitter fellow, come and see VAT collection data source about Anambra[/s]

This igala boy again? I'm an Igbo man and I'm happy with any progress Anambra makes. Unlike you igala imposter that claims to be Anambra but always attacks other Igbo states without sense.

Coldie:
[s]This is why all of u shouting Biafra and restructuring should use your head, a lot of u are just talking talking talking without thinking then when it back fires u use your self inflicted problem to start another Biafra struggle and kill yourselves.

The north produces next to nothing according to u, but do u remember when northern youths tried to stop goods from going south, less than 1 day price of goods in the whole south sky rocketed, true or false?

But east has been doing back to back seat at home, even during the ESN problem no sector of Nigerians economy was affected, no single price of any goods went up not even innoson motors…


Analyse the 2 regions and tell me which of them is really contributing?


Reason despite me being Igbo I am always weary of supporting anything igbos support I discovered that alot of igbos just know how to be hardworking without much sense, igbos are scattered all over Nigeria, then we have a VAT system that collects tax from all the states in Nigeria and distribute it to all the states, and u I repeat u people are against it?

A tax system that enables somebody from ebonyi to benefit from his tax even if he is based in Lagos or Kano or Port harcourt?

Where una sense dae abeg? Una dae follow ikwerre people way no ready travel go anywhere do VAT war?

With the funds eastern states are receiving they have not been able to break even in a lot of things and to u, u believe that once the funds stop coming over night eastern governors would start seating up .

Am not surprised sha, when you people are done making wrong decisions I know all of u would leave the east and go to regions that made Decisions that would benefit their region and start dragging its benefits with them[/s]

You're a typical parasitic almajiri without sense.

Coldie:
SE got least cause both population and derivation wise it’s the least

You don't even get the point at all. The argument is about parasitism, states VAT earnings against VAT generation and SE is being short changed!

VAT is not necessarily about population but about purchasing power and economic activities. Northern states claim to have huge populations but brings next to nothing to the table. Anambra and Enugu both generate in excess of 20 billions which is in the top tier, while the other SE states generate close to 20 billion including the least Ebonyi. Non is among the least generating states yet you will find them among the least VAT earning states!

Once VAT becomes a state affair, just watch and see how all SE states will jump in the rankings due to competition among them.

SmartPolician:
This is the beginning of the end of the feeding bottle syndrome. Again, this is the time to know how smart or dull the northern and South East governors are. They must think out of the box to be able to run their states. For instance, el-Rufai is doing a great job with IGR improvement in Kaduna. Others have to take a cue from him.

After VAT, some other governor should sue for a total resource control and another should go for state police. We need to empty the so-called exclusive list. People who are not intelligent and creative shouldn't have any business with politics. The revolution has already begun.

Don't worry about SE, as you can see from the data, we actually receive less than what we generate as VAT. SE got the least from VAT allocations when we don't generate the least.

You won't find any SE state among the least generating states yet you will find them among the least earning states. Even Ebonyi generates more VAT than lots of other states.

SE will benefit massively once states are allowed to keep their VAT earnings.

This madness of robbing Peter to pay Paul must be stopped immediately. What are poverty stricken and barren states like Jigawa, Katsina and Bauchi doing in top ten VAT earning states when they generate next to nothing??

I repeat, this madness must be stopped now. Let everyone earn what they produce!!!

Both of them look stupid and Boko Haramic.

Benard5050:
He died a foolish death.

How did he die a foolish death? It seems you're sick upstairs or just naturally wicked and extremely selfish.

If you know how complex some huge skyscrapers can be and how people will easily get lost and going in circles while trying to find the exit, especially in obvious hysteria, smoke and falling debris then you will appreciate his sacrifice.

This man probably saved up to hundred lives that would have perished if he didn't continuously guide them to the exit. He wasn't the only one that made huge sacrifices, some others did too, especially those that fought the Al queda terrorists inside the plane when they where trying to use it as a missile to bomb the Pentagon.

Remember you could be a victim someday and at the mercy of others, I hope they won't be snapping you to upload on social media instead of assisting you.

Chai, so sad. May his gentle and selfless soul continue to rest in peace, and may the family he left behind never suffer because of his death.

It seems that Buhari's Visit was a cover for this.
And Oguta has a huge amount of gas deposits.

Agwọ nọ na-akị́rị́ká.

Where are the Igbo otelectuals.

After calling Igboland a dot, he wants to claim it. Uzodinma ga anwụ ọnwụ ọjọọ.

This is why you'll never see me criticise IPOB, because their madness is really needed to fight the injustice.

Don't mind the bastard supreme Court fraud, he is playing with fire.

I was once in Oguta lake resort when the community were protesting sometime ago. I asked what was going on and they said Mouka of Lord Chosen Charismatic Church has bought all their lands and want to use it for a university. I was flabbergasted and asked them what was wrong with that since it will bring development and they said their women no longer have lands to farm.

Now this is a university project that will bring development o, and Lord Chosen Charismatic Church paid the asking price for those lands yet the community were complaining. Now compare that to giving scarce lands to terrorists that bring nothing except deaths and destruction.

Forget it, those Oguta people will rather die than see their lands given to terrorists.

Ngor Okpala and Ohaji people should be wary and watchful too because once this treacherous attempt fails in Oguta, he will try his luck again in those places I mentioned.

They really planted this efulefu so they can use him to get at us.

tollyboy5:
Stop adding Yoruba to your stupidity please.

That nuisance is an almajiri from the North. Anything against Buhari or North always pains him yet he would try to claim and use it to attack Southern interests.

cheruv:
It was because of Bayelsa that I put the other caveat of neighbouring states with stable IGR kos i know that the Igboid majority of Rivers State won't want Bayelsa back.. this is a position that they've held as far as the 1958 willink conference
Bayelsa should be merged to delta state

And you think the Itshekiri and Uhrobo that are close to them will want that? It will be over their dead bodies The small Ijaw presence around Warri is making life unbearable for them and you think they would want more??

The truth is that ijaws are naturally lazy and economically unproductive. To worsen it, their areas are situated on mangrove swamps that make it difficult to utilize land resources effectively.

Parisian:
So SE states has more industries than Rivers state ? Nothing I no go see for this app

Where are the industries in Rivers State? Can you name up to 20 functional manufacturing industries in Rivers State?

It's oil and onne port activities as well as regional head offices of some establishments that makes Rivers State IGR high.

Anambra and Abia both have more industries than Rivers by far! Rivers State even relies on Abia for so many things like machine parts supply, engineering repairs and household goods.

They know Ihedioha is massively popular and proved he has the capacity to turn Imo State around same way Umahi did for Ebonyi and knowing that the incumbent is gravely unpopular, they're now paying some fools to write rubbish.

Look at the trash they came up with and see how stupid they are.

I can't wait to see Ihedioha return to power. And since I know he will come back, I didn't even bother to replace his picture in my office

[s]2024 Imo Guber: Owerri Zone Group Disowns Ihedioha

The Owerri Zonal Development Union has advised all gubernatorial aspirants from the Mbaise clan in Imo State to drop their ambitions and support aspirants from other parts of Owerri zone who are yet to produce a Governor.

In a press release signed by the Publicity Secretary of the group Chief Stanley Onyechere, the group stated in clear terms that although the people of Owerri zone are determined to ensure the emergence of an Owerri zone candidate as the next governor of Imo State, it is very important that such governor should emerge from other parts of the zone who are yet to taste the position. According to Chief Onyechere, the decision was taken at the General Meeting of the group held in Owerri the Imo state capital on Wednesday 8th September 2021.

"We resolved that the next governor of Imo State should come from Owerri Zone, in the interest of equity and justice. However, Mbaise should be honourable enough to stay out of the contest as the immediate past governor Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha has taken the turn of Mbaise".

The group insisted that other parts of the zone such as Mbaitoli, Owerri West, Owerri North, Owerri Municipal and Ngor Okpala should be supported in the next election. "If we will support any aspirant from Mbaise, it could be from Ahiazu or Ezinihite, but definitely not from Aboh where Ihedioha comes from". They noted that there are hundreds of qualified aspirants who can be Governor from Owerri Zone and wondered why Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha should even think of contesting again after carelessly losing the mandate at the Supreme Court.

The highpoint of the general meeting was the constitution of a Contact and Mobilization Committee to commence consultation with stakeholders from other Zones in Imo State and leadership of various political parties towards the realization of the Owerri zone agenda. The Owerri Zonal Development Union also instituted a scholarship scheme which will cater for the university education of indigent orphans from the zone.[/s]

Paid fools!!!

Emeka Ihedioha is the next governor of Imo State come 2024, and there is nothing efulefus can do about it!!!

Before 1967, Igbos were at peace with themselves, and with all Nigerians.
Igbo's in Nigeria, started having problems as soon as they started calling themselves Biafra. That name have no Igbo meaning.
What is the meaning of Biafra in Igbo language.
Why adopt a name that has continued to bring an entire ethnic Nation Sorrow, Tears, and Pains.
Igbo Nation haven't known Peace, since they adopted Biafra as an identity. From which evil coven, did Ojukwu bring this name, that have killed over 4M Igbos from inception?
Once you associate Igbos with Biafra trouble starts.
Why do we love a name that brings us, Sorrow, Tears and Pains, Please let us consult the gods (Afa) and find out the evil associated with that name before going further.
Bia- Come
Fra - Trapped
Even the man who baptised us with name, later dropped it, and became a Nigerian, and died, a Nigerian.
Chinua Achebe capped it all, by saying there was a Country.
Doesn't all these resonate something?
Just mention Biafra, everywhere in Igboland will be in disarray, and backwards will set, blood will start flowing, and there will be no more peace.

In as much as you're entitled to your lunacy, but your commitment to it is so baffling. Tufiakwa!!!

Chai, yet they keep pampering them. SMH

SWDude:
I stumbled upon this picture just now on Instagram. And it's damn funny. I didn't want to laugh alone so I thought of sharing it with my mates on Nairaland.

Back to the question, is this a new challenge?

Wow, this must be the lifeless challenge

Those drunks down south are the most deluded set of people I have come across. In their warped alcohol induced thought process, they assumed that any oil bearing community is ijaw land. They're currently fooling themselves in Abia, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Imo and Delta State. The most ridiculous of all is how they're lying to themselves and still believing it that Ndoki and Asa are their brothers just because they are oil bearing communities. These are Igbo clans that speak Igbo and all their culture and traditions are Igbo, yet these ogogoro people still fool themselves that somehow somehow they are ijaw.

It's indeed a comic relief

They have started writing all manner of bulcrap to justify their daylight robbery.

The fact beer and other alcoholic beverages are wantonly destroyed in the Islamic North, even when they're legal is enough reason for this VAT to be paid to states where they are generated.

These parasitic elements are now seeing the handwriting on the wall. All of them are now morbidly afraid of what life will be like for them post Nigeria. From Buhari to satan of sokoto and all of them. It's now wailing and lamentations

Anyways we must break up, your sob story is not our concern. If South Korea didn't leave North Korea, the North would have dragged them down to their wretched level and we won't have LG and those sleek Korean cars.

This is no news na. Is there any state in Nigeria today where the ruling party didn't win over 90% in local government elections?

It happened in Lagos, Enugu and several others. We know how they manipulate it to ensure only their party candidates win.

As for 2023 elections, the outcome will still depend on manipulation. It will be a Southerner if the North is threatened enough to believe South will break away if a Southerner doesn't succeed Buhari and vice versa.

List the industry in any South East state

Stop being a coward, tell me your state and region first and I will list the industries currently operating in Abia and Anambra States.

Diaspora Remittances into Nigeria dropped by $13.65bn in 2020 – CBN
https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/diaspora-remittances-into-nigeria-dropped-by-13-65bn-in-2020-cbn/#:~:text=Nigeria%20recorded%20the%20lowest%20Diaspora%20remittances%20for%20the,billion%20in%202019%20to%20%245.51%20billion%20in%202020.

Everyone knows the region that has more people sending money from diaspora...

Now when this money is sent, for withdrawals to happen there has to be bank charges, stamp duties, etc...this goes to the government.

Some of this money are used to buy shares in banks and companies like Dangote sugar, cement, MTN, etc...the pay taxes on dividends to FG which are shared to you in Kano, etc...

Also, when they build or buy properties, it goes to the local economy, etc, etc....

So how come you don't know these and you claim they contribute nothing to the economy?

Don't mind these ignoramuses ranting so unintelligently. Remmitances is the only reason why naira is not exchanging at 1000/$. Without remmitances, Nigeria would have been a far poorer country.

Remmitances is even more important than oil going forward since it is sustainable while oil income is not.

Now, who are the cheif contributor to remmitances if not Igbos?!

Even the oil they want to kill themselves for is found all over Igboland both in SE and SS.

SlyDev:
Oil and gas lol
Trade and commerce..... 2by2 shops and hotel is trade and commerce
There are more industry in kano than the whole south east combined
When did igbos start farming lol
You contributed nothing significant

The more you talk, the more you show how empty you are upstairs. Anambra and Abia States each have more industries than Kano. It's not hearsay and I get am before no be property. Kano is no longer an industrial center like in the past. Aside Lagos/Ogun region, no other place in Nigeria is currently more Industrialized than SE. Let this VAT take effect and watch us move all our headquarters to Igboland while oil companies will relocate to the Niger Delta.

The game is about to become more interesting. Go and ask questions, Igbos thrive very well in competition and fairplay.

Modified*** So you still lived up to expectation as a coward? I challenged you to name your region since you claim to be doing better than Igbos yet fear no gree you

Hiding behind Nigeria vs. Igbos to throw shades shows how timid and cowardly you and your likes are.

Solsix:
[s]The way we igbos are going about it it will be difficult to have anything in the future. Come to think of most ethnic groups in Nigeria don't like Buhari and his fulani brothers but they are solving thier problem diplomatically. Ours is shouting and making empty threats. The earlier we know we need other tribe to trust and support us the better for us. Even our igbo speaking brothers in south south are denying thier igbo heritage. Nobody wants to align with losers. Our methods are not working, nobody will trust you if every time u claim to be the wiseset of them all. Is time we go back to the drawing board otherwise we keep losing. Enough said. BTW Deji does not live in igbo land he does not have any investment in igbo land and he is leading igbo youths to destroy igbo land[/s]

Trash!

SlyDev:
Not only North, South East too... Shebi North produce food..... Help me ask igbos what their region contribute because they like hiding under Southern Nigeria..... South East is the same as North East..... Contributed nothing except terrorist and crime.

You're so ignorant and deluded. You're asking what South East is contributing? I will educate you for free.

1. Oil and gas
2. Trade and commerce.
3. Industry and manufacturing.
4. Agriculture.
5. Remmitances.

Can you be bold enough to tell me your region of origin so we can compare with Igboland? I know you will run away like the coward you are!

Let every state control its resources and watch how we would move all our facilities in Lagos/Ogun and the rest of Nigeria back home. One of the reasons why we haven't done so is because it offers little or no advantage since the federal government still takes everything. But let the states be in control and see how all our head offices will be moved to the East so our home states will benefit since it's now winner takes all.

Whether you like it or not, Igbos naturally will always be ahead of you!!

Truthissupreme:
I was just thinking about a regional system and how each state today would fair

Let's forget about the oil from the south south that undoubtedly fuels this nation

From the expose of Gov Wike Rivers brought ₦15billion and got ₦4billion in june

If it decides to share that as a region it can comfortably give ₦2.5billion to Cross River, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and still be ok

Mind you this ₦2billion is the same one the king of the north kano with its huge population could manage let alone less populated states

In the West Lagos can comfortably give times 2 of that amount to Osun, Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo and i have not added Ogun that is reliable on its own and can help

In the East I won't argue with you whether they can survive on their own, i would simply say just give them their region and watch part2 of how a grounded levelled region in the 70's can be thriving today

In the North unfortunately the king of the North with all its quota system prefential treatment could muscle up ₦2billion a month

Meaning it is going to be sharing ₦90 million a month to 18 states and it still won't be enough to go round

The North no doubt have been a perennial parasite on South since the 1800's. However, you're biased in your analysis above. They don't have to rely on Kano alone since Abuja is also in their domain and FCT generates more than Rivers State. So, if Lagos as a former capital will be allocated to SW, why won't Abuja be allocated to North?

Having said that, I believe that all states in Nigeria must collect VAT in their respective states and use it for themselves. However, certain sectors like seaports and interstate transportation must be exclusive to ensure fairness. You can't build seaports in two states and still allow them to pocket excise duties/tax. If that should be the case, then Abia, Imo, Anambra, Bayelsa, Edo, Ondo and any state with access to the ocean should be allowed to build and manage their ports. Also, states should be allowed to establish international airports if they want and have the capacity to do so if tax from airports like MMAI will go to Lagos State. Also, all oil companies both major and minor must have their head office in the oil producing states.
