On your mandate we stand

Oluwaseun

Deserved

Good

Thank you so much for your explanation and analysis. I know Tinubu will make the North to sit up. Enough of reaping where they did not show.

CodeTemplar:
The RMAFC man is obviously an ignoramus or tribal legend at best, parading as in intellectual. That it is called a consumption tax doesn't mean it is meant to serve the consumer or go to the consumer directly in anyway. It can still be collected at value addition location and reshared in Abuja, which is what Tinubu has done here. Let the ignoramus tell us who collects the VAT for good consumed outside Nigeria but within ECOWAS if the tax is for the consumer as they assume here.

It is a tax that should compensate whoever shoulders the burden of production or value-addition. It will be harsh to allow Lagos poach investors, create enabling environment, lost their land, culture, values to foreigners, suffer environmental degradation, provide supporting infrastructure like road, power, security and more, then you treat them equal with where the good are consumed because the textbook says VAT is a consumption (based) tax. It is collected from the consumer for consuming the value added unto the raw input but never meant for the consumer or her location.

It is like saying tolls collected in Kano for a road should go to Lagos or Rivers because the final destination of some of the passengers include Lagos and Rivers. The road is a service and is provided by Kano so why reward the destination of the passenger? What about passengers who end up in Ghana or Cameroon?

If we use this logic of the foolish and greedy RMAFC boss, states may be forced to collect it forcefully like that of a tolled road that serves interstate traffic and there will be chaos and rip offs because they will charge far higher than the flat rate FG is enforcing.

VAT is best managed centrally and redistributed to whoever is absorbing the impact of the value-addition within the value-addition chain accordingly. If nigeria must grow to become a hub where thing are manufactured and sold all over west Africa, this bill is good for rewarding value-adding states.

1/4 basin should be enough. 1 is too much

. Seconded........At least one basin would have been enough for a non virgin.

You are a mumu and lazy man your generation will suffer for your laziness. It is better you start cutting grass of your neighbour in order to sustain your miserable family.

ycat:
Lazy youth, you will have to beg or steal if you don't want to take any job available to you, and still die in poverty.

Lagos is investing now but bitter people will say they develop it or because it was former capital of Nigeria. More VAT will be generated now and some redundant and insecure states will want to take larger share. Lagos our home. Eko o ni baje.

Stay on your topic, how does begging and stealing take enter the topic.
Just take up one of the jobs you mention before your life become miserable.ole you don't wanna work

ycat:
The poverty in your future ehn!
You will either steal or beg las las! You are probably a beggar already if you're not making your own money and find certain jobs beneath you.

Can't you do one of those jobs. Stop complaining because you are one of them. Lazy youths

Better, but can he be deported? I don't think so

Unrepentant xenophobians.
Who want to come to your country self.

Ok we are watching

Oga this one no too much for the Dot children aka developers.

RecentHistory:
Continue with your folly. This how your father was behaving when the bridges and businesses in Lagos were being built. Today, they are using "I will take you to Lagos" to impregnate his daughters.

Your foolishness is a curse to your generations but you don't know. In 20 years, your children will ask you what you were doing when Lagos was doing all these things.
