VAT: What states generated, received in past 8 months
September 18, 2021

•Lagos, Rivers, Oyo record highest in generation

•Kano displaces Rivers, Oyo in collections


•Zamfara generates N75 m, gets N4.5 b monthly

By Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief



As the Value Added (VAT) war rages, Saturday Vanguard has obtained details of collections made by each state and what it was allocated by the Federation Allocation Committee (FAAC), between January and August of this year, which indicates that the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Offices in Lagos, Rivers and Oyo states recorded the highest collections.

Lagos generated N429. 203 billion; Rivers, N90. 293 billion, while Oyo came third with N64. 646 billion.


However, in the allocation of VAT revenue, Kano came second, displacing Rivers and Oyo from the top places on the table, after Lagos.

Lagos received the sum of N139. 587 billion; Kano which generated N24 . 492 billion received the second highest allocation of N 47. 082 billion, while Rivers was in the third position as it got N 46. 270 billion.


Zamfara stood out as a peculiar state with the least generation of VAT revenue. It was the only state that recorded less than a billion in the eight-month period of review.

The state generated only N598. 133 million, an average of about N75 million per month.


However, it received the sum of N35. 716 billion (about N4.5 billion monthly), placing it at the forth position on the allocation table.

Kaduna which recorded a VAT revenue of N18. 262 billion, came after Zamfara with an allocation of N32. 726 billion, while Kastina which generated N3. 738 billion in the period under review got N31. 539 billion.

indadi:
My Dad called me this evening to tell me the essence of praying. The thing is that I don't believe praying solves anything Atleast to me. the day I stopped believing and started working more on myself, I found out that things started getting better for me than those who goes to the Church and Mosques.

When I think about a lot of things I have read and what I have experienced I feel like I have always been deceived all my life.

The Pastors and Prophets with their fake miracles or the Boko Haram and their suicide with the reasons of going to heaven to get virgins.

I currently live with them though I plan on moving to my own place by the end of this year or early next year.

I really want to tell them in a polite way so they can accept my way.

My Dad won't accept this, as he believes that it is God or nothing.
Just learn to pretend, when you have financial freedom they will cooperate. My late mum became less assertive after I became financially independent.

BusinessRe: Kuda Bank Is A Fraud! by starpower(m): 8:00pm On May 07, 2021
Eliazejike:
If you are banking with Kuda Bank or desiring to bank with them please DONT!

I am a student in a Nigerian University and as such was attracted to Kuda Bank because of their so called ease of banking and free withdrawals and money transfers. Unknown to me I was walking into one of the biggest scams in the country.

I have been banking with Kuda for months now and everything went smooth until I had to factory reset my phone because It was developing so problems ( normal to android users). After the rest KUDA hit!

I was expecting my rent money as well as feeding money that week. After the rest I tried to log into my account but it said my password was incorrect ( it wasn't oh!) After three trials I decide to use the "Forgot Password" option ( I must have forgotten the password I thought to myself ) I was asked to input the email address I had used to open the Kuda Bank Account which I did and it said they would send me a "password reset link" to my email. At least from their I can change my password and regain access to my account. The email never came! Its been over 2weeks now !

Not a day passes that I don't try to log into my account or do the password reset! Till today no email and I still can't log in !

My landlord is on my neck! And I have eaten any good food !

Now these are the things I've discovered in the past weeks that has lead me to the conclusion that KUDA BANK is a Fraudulent Scheme!

1. Their customer care line 09032200350 rings endlessly without someone picking it up! What kind of legitimate business doesn't attend to its costumers and just let's their phones ring without ever answering it ? Please Nairalanders let us call that number until someone picks up!...

2. I have sent complaint emails detailing my predicament and for two weeks I haven't received a reply! Kuda bank being an "Online Bank" shouldn't have any problem replying emails from customers if they had nothing to hide!

3. I left a review on the KUDA BANK app on google play store . stating my challenges using the app and within a few minutes my review was deleted. Most definitely by KUDA BANK in a bid to get more people into their net !

Using Kuda Bank has turned out to be my worst decision in life and this scam couldn't have happened in a worse time !

Please you do not have to go through what I am going through! Be wise and DO NOT bank with KUDA BANK.

This is their address ;
Moore House, 151 Herbert Macaulay Way, Yaba, Lagos.

Please if you live close by do me a favour and pay them a visit to find out if they are still there. If you find anyone tell them the story of this poor Nigerian Student !
Thank you !

Those shots were fired at an angle not lower than 45 degree to the horizontal, and will only kill a person in the line of fire. People on the same plane as the shooters are 100% safe. If you don't know something, ask and be enlightened, instead of accusing someone of being ignorant.

The bold is also a big lie. There is no way an ammo will fall at the same speed with which it was fired. that's impossicant, if there's any word like that.

So sanwolu is not performing. So many clueless people just typing. Most intercity roads that were deplorable under ambode have been resurfaced. Many low quality construction being fixed. Although the tenacity in fixing those roads as dwindled but it wasn't the total shortdown of government we experienced under ambode. Covid affected all sectors. No government official is claiming victimisation. Give him 60/100. Ambode should be in pdp.

I am an introvert that is into programming and I work for companies from home. I became tired of all the gold diggers I was attracting because I discovered they are only looking for sponsors so for the first time I made up my mind to start approaching. I saw a young lady walking towards me so I decided to start with her. I greeted her and immediately she answered I didn't know what to say next thing I said was are you coming from the gym and she said no and looked at me somehow only for me to stammer and then ask for her name she just ignored me and was pressing her phone. It bad to be sitting indoors everyday I swear loneliness dey kill me
Lol, my first trial was worse, saw a pretty lady at Ojota Bustop, she was actually nice but i was too anxious. Told her my name is D...., she replied with her name and i couldn't hear clearly.

tosinntoyin:
Dear all,

I really need an advice. I currently work with one of the Nigerian banks. My monthly take home is about 450k and quite good. My major problem right now is that I have just been transferred from a Branch at one end of Lagos to another end of Lagos. All efforts to convince my boss to deploy me to a closer branch has proved abortive.

Going to work daily right now is a very difficult especially during this raining season and covid 19th period. I spend roughly 3-4 hours on the road when going to work and back home.

I am currently raising my kids on my own right now and dont know how I would manage when school resumes. Before now I drop them off on my way to work in the morning and my friend picks them up to her house in the afternoon till I get back.

I currently have a savings of 2million and would love to start a biz( I dont know what kind) as am comptemplating resigning and start a biz instead so that I can have time for my kids and not die due to stress

Please i really need advice for you all.
See 2m will finish in a matter of six month. Send your kids to your parent. Business is very risky now and efen6if you have a professional skill you might not have the network to gross 5m per annum. Start paying attention to your bank customers. You discover good niches from there transactions and quietness

I thought she loved me not knowing that she was just after my money. But I was not able to spend much because I am broke for now, but I have a land I am in the process of selling to start a business which she didn't know, because I didn't tell her cause I don't trust her that much.

Well we broke up because she has a guy that is the main boyfriend, without me Knowing thinking I was number one.

I just look back and imagine how much this girl will have chop from me. Though I love her and am hurt after the breakup, but I'm grateful that all the amount of money I would have love to spend on her, to show my love I can use it build my business and help those around me.

And it taught me how not to trust girls 100%, and to be very careful about loving while using my head. If she knew about the land I wanted to sell she would have continued pretending to love me.

"Guys be careful, don't trust these girls 100%"
Had one loser like that name was Dami. I actually liked her, not romantic way though as I suspected she might have a Stds but was too desperate after my money. I thank God her Evaluation of me was poor, pretend am getting very broke and insults, all manner of disrespect follows. A part was damaged I can't redeem. All tt he best bro.

People are starting to feel a certain vibe among us cos she smiles whenever she looks at me and even my workers do call her oga's wife jokingly.
In truth I like the girl but I don't know if asking her out might cause a problem to my business, advice me please.
It better she is relieved of her duty during the courtship. It not too good to be over-dependent on people. That way she can decide what she really want.
