Ok

Peppysco:
Stop making yourself the center of attraction, no one sees you. Nobody ever mentioned that the tax bill is about the Igbos. Rather, the Northerners are the ones claiming victims. Why do you guys have to think everything's about you?

I said i came across some post from one lunatic asking why the SE is not voicing out about the bill and that since the SE remits less,the bill will make SE poorer and I asked him where he got such information from and he couldn’t say..

Tell your fellows to always resist the urge to drag SE into needless convos,the SE careless what ever the bill entails and had seen worse but yet triumphs and succeeds.

MIKOLOWISKA:
Yet it's ppl run to other states to live?
No be only enough resources

Run to which states?are the Chinese not also everywhere in the world? Everyone is not as docile and less industrious like the Yorubas when it comes to exploring opportunities.. Do you know the population of igbos in north and outside Nigeria? It’s only Yorubas that are always making noise about being “ “accommodating” …can you name a place Yorubas have more population than igbos in Nigeria? Even outside Nigeria..


All of you from osun,ogun have all abandoned your holes and relocated to Lagos that’s why all of you are now lagosians,no one is from OYO or ekiti anymore.

Some lunatics think the bill will make SE poorer,these people still don’t understand how the average igbo man thinks..igbos careless whatever the bill entails,Being at the receiving end is not new to igbos!

Igbos have nothing to gain in Nigeria,rather,they have everything to loose in Nigeria.

They should also reform the oil and gas bill to allow states to generate and manage their resources…if it’s not working let’s go out separate ways!

phemray:
Sincerely I wish SE can go, but when I saw the 40 states declared by Ekpa guys then I know they are just joking and can't stand alone. Why dragging other regions to joining the 40 states. IPOB Na only 5 states. SS are not part of Biafra Republic.

Even the 5 states,trust me,Nigeria is not ready to let SE go,I careless weather SS joins or not,SE has oil and gas and every other man power to sustain itself,there are many countries that SE is bigger than in landmass and population.

Ogakokorokoman:
judging by your logic, since Nigerians have not heard anything about secession of south east from Nigeria from any state or federal legislator, govs or ohaneze that means we should not take the agitation serious?

Anyways, peace and one love to us all, we are better off as one great nation.

You may not hear from them because Nigeria has termed any attempt treason!

Lol

lucianohase:
Bro in as much as i am not from South East, but I v come to realise that those people have a way of surviving more than any other tribe in this country. They leave here with us in Rivers and their survival instinct inspire me alot. You said they don't produce much but I know we in Rivers have boarder with Imo and Abia and I know they have oil. With that little they have, if every one is told to go back to there region, u will marvel at what will become of their place. So don't look down on them oh .....Moreover, now we in festive mood, when they start travelling u will see how it looks as if the economic activities of Port Harcourt city has slowed down. So bro no look down on them oh, those people have high rate of survival instinct from my observation.

You didn’t get the sarcasm bro,since always claimed that SE is small and doesn’t generate shi shi,let them let SE go na but NO…they know SE has oil and largest gas deposit in Nigeria and mostly west Africa …but they keep inflating north and sw population and igr generation to make it look and sound like they generate more to the federal purse!!

One lunatic was even calling SE parasites,then let the parasites go na so you can save more,they won’t because they know the truth !

What have we ever gained from any of those BRICS countries? We get loans,weapons,aids from the USA.

And why did Nigeria support BRICS in the first place,what is our business there,they ecowas with its issues and went far away to support BRICS.

That is why Yorubas want to use reverse psychology by saying SE doesn’t support the bill while avoiding the north that rejected the bill.

DomPerignon:
Their silence is enough proof that they are working in the background to squash the bill.

If this bill will benefit them they would have hailed it .

This is just as the VAT ruling secured by Rivers and Lagos state met dead silence from your yeast.


The fact that obi is even playing dumb and deaf is proof that the SE is ashamed to admit that this bill is not in their favour as it will end the parasitic dependence.

Even Ndi IP0B would
have made a mountain of this but when they saw that their condemnation of the bill will only expose their duplicity in still wanting to benefit from other parts of Nigeria while seeking to leave Nigeria, made those ones silent.

Your leaders silence is out of shame that their region benefits more from Nigeria than it gives out.

It will put the SE in a more lowered negotiating position if they all come out to condemn a bill that seeks to end their parasitism

Why are avoiding the questions and ranting about ipob and obi,did I ask you about any of them?

Are you scared of facing the north that have openly rejected the bill through their reps? Address that first then you can find out if the SE cares about the bill or not..

You should also agree with me that thesame bill reform should be replicated in the oil generation industry and revenue sharing ..

Also I asked you,is it not better to fight for your own country so that SE won’t be a parasite to you anymore,OYO,ogun,osun,Kano,sokoto will all get to keep 100% of their generated revenue.

DomPerignon:
Several of your fellow Ndi IP0B here have been posting that fallacy against the bill claiming it specifically targets the disorganised petty traders of SE origin.

Did you hear it from the SE fed and state REPS?
Did you hear it from the ohanaeze?
Did you hear it from the governors?
Did you here is from the kings and chiefs?

So all these nonsense is simply because you can’t squarely face the north that is opposing the bill and needs additional support via reverse psychology?

Meanwhile answers my questions above..
Where did you get all those information from
And why can’t you fight for your own country so you can keep everything to yourselves and let SE go with their peanut …

Why can’t they review the revenue generated from the oil industry so each states get to keep what they have generated and send the required % to the federal purse..or is it because you have been lieing with fake figures? You don’t have the capacity to stand alone?

DomPerignon:
The bill is meant to reform the current tax and vat law to enable states keep 50% of what they generate .

Currently , the sharing formula considers population and landmass in distributing tax revenue .

For example, the SE got 900% of what they generated. Imo state generated only #325mil for the year ending 2023 but got #34bn from the federal purse. This represents an over 1,000% returns to Imo state.

The north is being openly honest that they will all go bankrupt if the reforms scale through but the yeast that even for some odd reason gets a much higher return are l spreading lies on why they oppose the bill citing that the bill specifically targets their petty traders that are scattered everywhere and who are considered outside the organised sector.

Note that Lagos, Rivers, Ogun, Oyo and Delta contributed the highest amount to the tax revenue base and all that money was gotten from the organised sector.

Instead for these ibos to be sincere like the north and tell us that if the bill scales through their parasitic states will go bankrupt, they are allover social media spreading lies on what the bill intends to achieve which is true fiscal autonomy and responsibility to states.

1)where did you get the information that the SE is opposed to the tax reform bill because it will affect their traders? It seems where you hear SE,all you think of is trade? Let’s all go our separate ways so we know who needs trade and commerce or who has the capacity to control commerce,but I am very sure you are not ready for that discussion!

2)in what capacity are you able to say that SE got presumably higher fro the federal purse?

3)since the most of VAT generated from your states will remain in your state,what is stopping you from having your own country and let the SE go their way and “suffer” since they don’t generate nothing to the federal purse?

4)why is the opinion of SE so important to you in respect of the tax reform bill? Na by force ?

5)since every state now has the opportunity to keep the bill of their generated VAT,why can’t the state collect all and remit fed % to the federal purse? Unless of course the govt wants to continue Robbing the rest of nigeria with over bloated fake IGR,and VAT to foot their bills!!

6)why can’t they also reform the revenue generated from oil and gas states,let osun,OYO,Kano etc use their generated revenue to run their states and let SE states use theirs to run their states?

Zionmdde:
We are responsible for the beasts we raised
Few years ago they were attacking only policemen and soldiers we were hailing them just northerners were hailing bh when they were attacking only Christians

Today the beast we supported is now biting us.

Let's keep blaming APC for trying to bring insecurity in SE, rather than join hands together with security to wipe off these criminals off our land

Nonsense,was there insecurity before killing of unarmed peaceful protesters? Was there insecurity before the unjust arrest and illegal detention of nnamdi kanu?

Ebubu6:
healthy competition for resources and improvement is healthy

You are the only one in competition with yourself,the earlier you realize this,the better for you

Ebubu6:
Exactly.

I wish Dave Umahi was governor of Ebonyi state when this census is conducted.

He is a real politician, knows the implications and will do all necessary to ensure Ebonyi has highest population in SE.

You are saying he would have rigged it against other SE states,even if it turned out to be lower than expected?..

See,the SE is not in competition with each other over anything,no matter the type of hateful narrative you try to sell,it just won’t work,cause there is none!

membranus:
Your own conclusion. But I believe your Igbo brothers who have built massive businesses, investments and properties in all regions across the Niger are not supporting you in this.

Does having properties outside your home country stop you from having your own country? Must they loose their hard work over the years because they decided to have a country? Are you saying Nigeria would not be doing business with its neighbors if it splits?….the igbo nation is greater and more important than any single igbo individual.

ppogba:
You have been clever with your response.

" If Nigeria in it's envious and jealous ......"
" Igbos are not supposed to have problem with that........"
" Chinese in Taiwan........"

Thanks. I have made my deductions.

But if Nigeria agrees to let igbos go today,even if it’s just the five SE states,and that the requirement will be for all igbos to relocate back to the SE,all igbos will move their investment and be in the east before march next year….

ppogba:
Please don't be annoyed o. I have always wanted an answer to this question, does it means Igbos in all other parts of Nigeria will go back to the SE when the country disintegrates as being clamoured or what?

I just want to know

That is not what it is supposed to mean? But if Nigeria,in its envious and jealous nature wants that,igbos are not supposed to have any problem with that as long as it was a peaceful disintegration…

We have Nigerians living and doing business in neighboring countries including far away South Africa …we still have Chinese in Taiwan and Taiwanese in china doing business even after the desperation..

Putinofrussia:
What is survival if you cannot make your own money to fend for yourself except rely on another person?
All SE states rely on heavily FAAC.
Without FAAC,no existence..

I guess there is only one way to find out for sure,total disintegration!!

EmperorCaesar:
So, they shouldnt have gone after him at all?


I wonder how i get to share the country with you people

Most of you just criticize some agencies for the sake of it
See thinking

Why pretend like you don’t know he’s gonna be set free sooner than we all excepted?

richmond500:
This is exactly what happened when people complained about Ekpa, his supporters said we are crying more than the bereaved, but now that Ekpa is a bone in ur throat, some of u are accusing us of supporting Ekpa to distabilize the east

Ekpa might be going about it the wrong way,but one thing is certain,he is fighting for the release of Nnamdi kanu,and by doing that,he is a friend of ndigbo! So I careless what Nigerians think because they too don’t care about the plight of an igboman.

You guys can continue fighting for the release of repentant boko Haram members!

This fight will continue till the end of time,younger generations will continue until Nigeria is tired,it can only be delayed,but it is inevitable!!

madridguy:
They never see anything yet. I have earlier said this, millions of Ekpa are still coming. Na so we shout for the people of North East back then, don't allow terrorists to take over your land, they said no but today they're seeing the result of their hand work.

SE never see anything I swear.... From series of videos seen so far, any reasonable person will know a decade to this time those boys will still be causing havoc.

Stop the cheap emotional blackmail already, as if you ever cared!!

Alaigbo rather burn than for Nigeria to have peace,shettima,buhari all supported terrorism but later led Nigeria…what about the terrorists Nigeria govt released in the guise of “repentance” ?

Make una Dey carry all these una hypocrisy far away..
Shebi it’s not affecting Nigeria,leave the burning of SE to SE,don’t cry more than the bereaved!

That’s how agbado economics works,that’s how he tamed the Atlantic Ocean

Useless thieves!! They should just come out plain and tells us estimated billing favours them more because Nigerians pay for what they don’t use..

Beautiful,now let those with IGR people bigger than pluto and the Atlantic combined but without toilet for 183yrs start gnashing their teeth,while writing an 80 leaves explanation on why it shouldn’t be a priority

BadBradley:
I will never defend Yoruba, but you're of the Igbo lineage with awkward social graces, zero geopolitical sense and as dumb as a fallen meteorite.

The only zombies who worship criminals like Ekpa and Kalu who control you n social media and are citizens of a foreign country.

You see why you are meant to be dumb slaves?

This one pain am,see bleating! Scratched faced Goat on heat!!
