Where is the lie in what I said !?
Most imports from Lagos ports end up in the east. Close to 70%. Yet the most favoured ports are in the west, while all administrative measures to subdue and denigrate the eastern ports are fashioned and implemented from Abuja, ofcourse with the tacit support from the over mischievous southwest.

Explain to us how the region that accounts for the highest port related businesses in Nigeria, ended up with all their ports effectively grounded. And if you think I was bluffing, show me any federal government success stories as it regards the modernisation of seaports in the former Eastern Nigeria. Just one example of a thriving port will do... Do remember that when most of the ports were developed, port development was in the exclusive list, so..

I'm waiting ..
And you will disappear..

70% of imports end up in SE as how? As consumers or manufacturers/Value addition?
Stop deceiving yourself, SE doesn't possess the capacity for any of the above.

I do not support IGP illegal staying in the office he should resign just as the law has stipulated. However, MURIC the Islam terrorist find his voice because Egbetokun is not a Muslim had he been that Egbetokun is a Muslim MURIC would have become mute. Let MURIC getat!

He is a slave to sätan of Sokoto led fulani jihädists.

We see people open beer parlors few feet from a mosque, see people disrespect the name of Prophet Mohamad SWAT, see women walk past mosques with their hairs and parts of the body open, we see people steal and commit adultery but we kept quiet for fear of being tagged extremists but how long are we going to stay silent in the face of dishonor of prophet Mohamed? We need our society to be sanitized so that righteousness in the wisdom of Allah will lead us to have a better society

All those things you listed aren't crimes. It's part of our culture. Now that you're saying people shouldn't drink beer because it's very close to the mosque etc is clearly showing your level of intolerance. We cannot eradicate our culture and other religions because you want to practise arabs culture. You're free to move to wherever they practise your sharia, from Zamfara to Kano, sambisa or even Afghanistan or Somalia.
When you're in Rome you behave like Romans and not that you impose your culture on Romans.

The practice of political cross-carpeting, infamously introduced by Awolowo and condemned as the most shameless betrayal of political principles, is now being embraced by the outgoing ruling party APC , let's see how far this will take them.

If Nnamdi Azikiwe hadn't shamefully crossed carpet from his region to another man's region, there wouldn't have been political parties cross carpeting today.

If it's your right to abandon your barren region and cross carpet to a prosperous region for your economic survival, then politicians also have a right to abandon a dieing party and cross carpet to a bubbling one for their political survival.

Sharia courts an Islamic civil service court resolving operations it has no criminal systems operations even back in Britain there are several Sharia courts civil legal services operations. The court has nothing to do with Christian cases operations.
So all anti Muslim systems operations should stop all their systems against Islamic systems operations.

I hope you'll be happy to have Ogun court beside your mosques and egungun court right in front of your mosques and praying ground

Just calm down madam. Sharia panel/arbitration has always been part of us in Yoruba land and it will continue masha Allah. No one is stopping it. Its my inalienable right as guaranteed in the Nigeria constitution. Live and let us live

Are you Yoruba muslims not ashamed of yourselves? Today, Yoruba Christians are leaders in Nigeria, Africa and world at large. In your own case, you dismantled your platform and forever placed yourselves under sultan of Sokoto. For how long will you remain the slavės of sätan of Sokoto, getting instructions from him (without sätan of sokoto you cannot commence your ramadan, without him you cannot break your fast, placing himself on you as the direct descendant of alläh) and seeing yourselves as inferior to him and entire fulani race? Shaaaaame!

They called themselves Omoluabi, who could not face fulani headers, but they can kill themselves because of the land. Omoluabi my foot. Can Omoluabi kill themselves because of land issues? Is either one is Omoluabi while the other is Omo ale? Which one is Omoluabi? Let's ask Ifa or Oromiyan or oduduwa, Ifa Oromiyan asoro dayo, let's hear you, the Orisha allele of Yoruba, the land of idol worshipers.

A judge at state county level like this in US is more like a civil servant and no kick backs from bribe like in Nigeria. Most bench positions in the US are open and very hard to fill as most attorneys do not want that job . Starting salary for an attorney in US starts from upper $200k in a big law firm but it will take you years to make that from the bench so that’s why it’s not attractive to most US attorneys

Just go straight to the point and tell us that you're pained. All this beating around the bush shalayeism is a facade to cover up.

Seriously do I have to be the one to remind you that VAT is already paid at the distribution stage? Distributors, retailers, and customers buy the product with VAT included, and each stage in the supply chain charges VAT until it reaches the final consumer which they don't have to remit again."

Go and argue that one with any distributor or major retailer you know. They school you about their experience with FIRS tax audit. There's a reason for input VAT and output VAT.

EasternActivist:
Companies file tax remittance from their headquarters. Go and ask

I told you their distributors, retailers, customers etc who are separate corporate entities on their own.

EasternActivist:
Then is it not the headquarters where the company is domiciled and taxed in a state is the assumed point of consumption?

Not always. If a product is manufactured in Ibadan and was sold to their distributor in Benin, the goods will be invoiced to distributor with VAT (here, the manufacturer will deduct the VAT on material Input from the VAT on sales to the distributor, the difference will be remitted to the FIRS, oyo state office)
To the distributor in Benin, the VAT on goods bought from the manufacturer will become input VAT. He sells to the retailers or consumers with VAT, which now is his own output VAT. He will deduct the input VAT from his own output VAT and the difference will be remitted to FIRS, Edo state office)
Note that VAT is not remitted or paid to the purse of any state government, but only to the federal government thru FIRS.

christopher123:
the type of education they dish out in that una SW schools are terrible! VAT for Christ sake is consumption tax...I can't believe that people can be this shallow


High Value Added Tax (VAT) does not necessarily mean high production because VAT is a consumption tax, not a direct tax on production. Here’s why:

1.VAT is a Consumption Tax VAT is levied on the value added at each stage of the supply chain, but it is ultimately borne by the final consumer. High VAT rates increase the cost of goods and services for consumers, but they do not directly incentivize or disincentivize production. Production levels depend more on factors like demand, technology, labor, and capital investment.

2. Impact on Demand: High VAT can reduce consumer purchasing power, leading to lower demand for goods and services. If demand falls, producers may reduce output, which could lead to lower production levels rather than higher ones.

3.Production Costs vs. VAT Production costs are influenced by factors such as raw materials, labor, energy, and technology. VAT does not directly affect these costs. Even with high VAT, if production costs are low due to efficient processes or cheap inputs, production can remain high.

4.Tax Burden Distribution: In some cases, businesses may absorb part of the VAT to remain competitive, which can squeeze profit margins but not necessarily reduce production. Alternatively, they may pass the full burden onto consumers, which could reduce demand and indirectly affect production.

5. Economic Policies and Incentives: High VAT might be part of a broader tax system designed to generate government revenue. If the government uses this revenue to invest in infrastructure, education, or technology, it could indirectly support higher production in the long run. However, this depends on how the revenue is utilized.

6.Global Competition In a globalized economy, high VAT in one country might make its products less competitive internationally, potentially reducing exports and production. Conversely, countries with lower VAT might attract more investment and production.

7. Informal Economy High VAT rates can sometimes encourage the growth of the informal economy, where goods and services are traded without VAT being collected. This can distort production statistics and reduce the effectiveness of VAT as a revenue tool.

In summary, high VAT affects consumption and pricing rather than directly influencing production levels. Production is more closely tied to factors like demand, input costs, technology, and economic policies.


But to make you feel good....HIGH VAT means that you are producing fantastically...if that makes you feel go..so be it


Ignorance is bliss

Mr man, stop arguing blindly. Consumption doesn't mean when you munch okpa in your mouth only. Let me school you a bit:

As a manufacturer, all the raw materials, w-I-p, spare parts and other components you bought from the suppliers are paid with VAT element (this is called input VAT). When you used any of these for production purposes, it is consumed already. Those goods you produced are sold to your customers with VAT element (this is called output VAT). At the end of the month, the calculated VAT input (raw materials, WIP, components) you consumed on production is deducted from the VAT out on finished goods sold to your customers. The difference (when VAT output is higher than VAT input) is what you remitt to the FIRS (FGN)
The more your Consumption both at raw mater or Finished goods stages, the more yor VAT payable.

There is no organisation that is involved in legal manufacturing/production/value addition that will not register with CAC and other regulatory bodies. There is no way a registered company can evade VAT. You must file your annual returns. Tax authorities can trace all your inputs (RM, WIP, spare parts, equipment etc either imported or local) to your business without even engaging you. A single tax audit of your suppliers or customers can reveal this.

Don't think that anybody is manufacturing in the SE and evades VAT. It is either they engaged in VAT exempt items (eg pharmaceutical, LPG/CNG gas, medical services, baby products, sanitary wares, basic food items, educational materials etc) and all these are more pronounced in the SW than SE
OR you are talking about those concocting adulterated hennessy, champagne, drụgs etc inside latrins in onitsha, aba etc.

christopher123:
Go and pay VAT on Iya Biliki Amara joint at Bodija Ibadan....tell me how you can pay VAT on a plate of food there ..yes she is producing good but you can't pay VAT on this

If you get this simple anology then you will understand while tons of people producing goods in Aba that you erroneously call IBO MADE that you buy in Lagos can be made to pay VAT cos they aren't captured

Iya Bili Amala joint line of business is exempted from VAT. But if you consumed a bottle of beer in iya biliki alamala joint, you have already paid VAT because iya biliki bought those beers VAT inclusive from the distributor and you the final consumer bear the cost. The distributor must remitt the VAT element to the FGN. This is being monitored from the manufacturer (the brewery) down the supply chains.

Yorubas are cowards.

Even IBB said it 🤣🤣

"If I am sleeping and I hear the Yorubas beating the drums of war, I would go back to sleep"(**IBB**).

Your lord and savior Nnamdi Kanu said more than this ............that he would enter Abuja and bring Buhari's head in a calabash, that Nigeria would burn down.......but you know what?........it was a common Jubril from Sudan that bungled him from Kenya to Nigeria inside a Ghana-must-go sac..........today, he's celebrating his 4th year he was turbanned as eze ndikuje gburugburu 1 by uncircumcised fulanistines

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Looking at the cases of ritual killings in the SW, I think Sharia Law will go a long way in eradicating such criminal murderers

How about taking it to the SE where ritual kíllings, drụg biz, baby factory, fake products and other vices are more common?

ZombieDredd:
You go weep till forever.

Sharia must be implemented and nothing you go do.

Sharia can only be implemented inside your anụs and not anywhere in SW.
