If this VAT controversy that FG and state government are at loggerheads over who should be in charge of collection is to be use for the good of the people I won't be bothered.They will collect it and missappropriate it.What have they being using the ones that they have been collecting to do if not stealing it?

Fake SANS

Interesting case

People have been begging Wike to pay pensions, he has been deaf to their request and punishing Rivers people. Now to collect money, he is at the forefront.
The common shop seller who doesn't know VAT, will be tormented by Wike's tout from now on, I like this VAT ruling but Wike's not doing this for the state, he is just being selfish.

Carry flyovers deh deceive Nigeria meanwhile ask the common River state man, u will know Wike is not trying

A Rivers man is an enlightened mind so speak as such. Was the standard of life in RS better n when the FIRS collected VAT for onward distribution to Cows? The money is ours let's get if first.

Restructuring has commenced with or without the Federal government. More will definitely come through...

Lack of solid understanding of our diversity is the reason for the needless animosity and distrust everywhere. Alcohol is frowned at in the north and the noise is that revenue from alcohol collected from States that permit sales of beer should not be shared with the states of northern Nigeria. Very valid argument but we also forgot that the same north supplies the grains used in brewing alcohol oh . So las las every region is dependent on one another - we are mutual parasites! Mutually musing

I love my Hausa/Fulani academics & scholars!
They don't open their mouths anyhow in petty ITK 'foolish wiseness of the agricultural fowl' if i may borrow Zebrudaya's patented lines.

When we write, it's mostly in calculated response to misconstrued perceptions, provide additional lights on national issues or to state our own side of the story.
And when you read them, you will read knowledge, wisdom & invaluable insights.
But you see the academics & scholars from the South & some part of the Middle Belt.
They have opinions on every issue no matter how trivial.

When you read them, you can't mistake the bigotry, concieted arrogance & incitement to foolishness to their people hidden openly in their mischief they call opinion.

Yet, the South wonder aloud why with all thier vaunted intelligence, they are nowhere near the North in cohesiveness, aggregation of ideas, effective planning & organization.

From 1999 - 2015 (16 years) we did not hear Marginalization, Chritianization or Nepotism in Nigeria.

The Igbos, their cousins in South South & Christians were in total control of the Federal Executive Council, the National Assembly, the Army, Police at some point, DSS & office of the CJN etc.

In the 6 years of Jonathan, the Igbos alone where in total control of 85% of key federal executive & legislative positions as well as heads of strategic federal agencies & the Army.
The North & South West did not grudge them nor made cricket noises about Marginalization, Christianization, Igbonization or Nepotism.

They recognized that it's a party democracy that we are practicing in Nigeria & the party that wins share everything. PDP was winning for 16 years, so, Igbos & their PDP shared everything to themselves.
The North & West bidded their time without grudges, remained consistent with their smart politics in the opposition & by 2015, they succeeded in taking power at the centre.

The Igbos & their PDP, accustomed to power & looting of the treasury for 16 uninterrupted years could not believe they are out suddenly & could not imagine a life without the national treasury they enjoyed into emptiness for 16 years.

The Igbo politicians, federal ministers, Igbo hitherto heads of federal agecies, elites, federal contractors, Ohaneze & their looting Igbo Clergy accomplices with nothing to show their people the Igbos for their 16 years control of the federal government & the federal treasury;
their party PDP, with nothing to show Nigerians, with nothing to show the Igbos & campaign in the next elections as what they did in Nigeria or Igboland for 16 years in power controlling majority states in Nigeria & in Igboland, controlling the federal government & the federal treasury;
now quickly regrouped in a massive propaganda of lies & self-delusional campaigns of calumny against Buhari, his administration & APC claiming Marginalization & a hidden agenda of Islamization, Fulanization & Nepotism.
They regrouped from the pulpits, in Dubai, inside the bushes & forests around Nigeria with terrorists, bandits, armed cultists, IPOB & other insurgent militias to unleash terror & general insecurity in our land to cause mass discontent & insurrection against Buhari's APC administration because they have nothing as their achievement for 16 whole years to campaign with in any election in Nigeria.

The question then is;
at what point did the Igbos that own PDP, controlled the federal executive council, controlled the national treasury, controlled the army, controlled the police under Onovo, controlled the national assembly, controlled finance & the CBN, controlled majority of key federal agencies, controlled the Igbo states for 16 whole years & presently control over 50% of the properties in Nigeria including Lagos & Abuja, & till date control commerce in the 36 states of Nigeria become marginalised or enslaved by any other ethno-religious group in Nigeria?
Buhari's APC administration had something to show to Nigerians in 2019 as their 4 years achievements.
They will have hundred times more things to show Nigerians as their achievements come 2023.
In Igbo land, Buhari's APC have hundreds of achievements including multi billion naira ultra modern highways, bridges, interchanges, airports, seaports, railway lines, power projects, refineries (the one in Ohaji already completed & producing), agricultural projects, industrial parks & help to Igbo businesses to make them global players today (Innoson, Anammco, Choscaris, Air Peace, Oliserve just to name a few) & Ziks Mausoleum etc to show Igbo electorates as their achievements for 8 years.

Where is our Igbo brothers run PDP & government achievements in Nigeria or Igboland for 16 years they were in charge?
For the past 8 years, we Igbos & our diabolic PDP have no logical, clear nor cohorent intelligent strategy to win back power at the centre or at least get ourselves back into the mainstream of Nigeria's politics.
We are busy doping ourselves with infantile idiocy, making ourselves a stench in the nostrils of other Nigerians with our juvenile insults, abuses & swearings that smacks of lack of home training.
We have taken the most stupid self-defeating & self-annihilation path of killing oursleves & our SouthEast economy with the IPOB/ESN/Unknown Gunmen monster we are feeding, paying, equipping & covering.
On the eve of 2023 crucial elections that will define the next 50 years of Nigeria, we are "sitting at home" while the West & North are strategizing.
A sad shame indeed how a once thought intelligent people have allowed a selfish elite & their hired opportunistic conman - Kanu lead them by the nose into self destruction with lies & propaganda from the pit of hell to cover their 16 years of total failure & betrayal.

I heard a commissioner from Kogi State saying Kogi will not be a party to calls for states to callect VATs, hearing these things sometimes breaks my heart, Why are people Soo daft? Even those in postion of authority who should know the right thing to do, would supporting FG give Yahaya Bello Apc presidential ticket?

Bro they are not daft.... You see those states that are saying they are not part of the judgement of the Federal High Court are those states that are lazy and can't even fend for themselves without subventions from federal government who keep stealing from productive states under the FIRS nonsense.

Now all to his tents and these parasites go hear word.

What does Kofi produce and how much is their IGR and VĀT... This is Yahaya Bello fighting back from here because his money to spend on frivolities will be cut by more than half...

Bros we die here

Status quo or Status quo ante?

If supreme court ruled in favour of the states, Will the F.G refund previous VAT since 1999 to the states?

I am curious to know the implications

Rivers state pays pensions and gratuities to all deserving retirees who are captured by the state integrated payment system backed by biometrics...if your folks don't get their pension simply means they were ghost workers and by extension ghost pensioners who should be behind bars.

It is obvious you know next to nothing about what VAT means because if you do you wouldn't have written that rubbish up there about touts harassing shop sellers.

Nigerians way of rating performance of government is infra structural dev,they careless about man power and human development so to say.That's why our useless leaders keep deceiving them with useless fry over. Shry hungry man go see energy take drive pass fry over?

Good

They can't find efficent tax systems to maximize their revenue, they are using consumption tax to milk the masses and the fools are celebrating, transfer 1 million to a client and see how much enters their account

Stop misleading people, no body will deduct your transferred funds, VAT means Value added tax, which will be deducted from VAT vendors (company that are tax compliance).

Too bad, Yahaya Bello and Ben Ayade are the most useless Governors in Nigeria.

U forgot Uzodimma, Umahi and Obiano. These ones are the epitome of the word, useless.

VAT- Value added Tax is being paid by the final consumer of a particular goods not directly borne by market women rather it's added on the selling price of goods purchased in the market. You order for a phone, VAT is included as price to be paid. So be guarded.

God bless you. I have said it before that more revenue does not necessarily translate to better service delivery. Imagine, Wike is wasting hundreds of millions all over the place but is refusing to pay pension and gratuities to elderly people who served the state all their youthful years and are now helpless!
On VAT, many people are being misled into thinking only northern states will suffer if central collection by FIRS is stopped. But that's far from the truth. FG will immediately rake in over 50% of the present collection by taking all of collection on imports. At present there is only one percentage point difference between rivers(6%) and kano (5%) contribution to Vat collection. Kano, kaduna and fct contribution is more than that of SE states combined.
Wike is just dancing to the gallery.

What myopic view...So Abuja is now a northern state...even have the temerity to compare Rivers and Kano VAT input at 6% to 5%. Better wake up to reality and recheck your data source.

Next online is complete resource control...by then your current tears will turn red.

The injustice of the current VAT system where FIRS collects is so apparent in the example of Kano state generating 2.8 billion and receiving 2.8 billion in full while Rivers state generates 15 billion but is given 4.7 billion. It is evil and must be rectified.

I'm loving this show the sleeping wounded lions are now waking up

Lawyers can so much make a simple case unnecessarily complicated.

What stops the judge from stating it clearly in unambiguous language like:

" I hereby order that River State and any other state should stop the process of collecting VAT until the appeal is determined."

Spot on.

The breweries buy the grains from Northern farmers. The North share from VAT on alcohol. Shameless people.
Let the North stop selling grains to breweries and let the North stop sharing from VAT on Alcoholic drinks. Dirty VAT beggars.

Yes, it will. At least they won't carry your VAT to Katsina and be using the money to buy Hilux for bandits and Boko Haram.

So in your myopic mind you think you have made a point. The so called grain used in brewing alcohol was supplied to the companies brewing alcohol for free abi?
Were they not paid for? So why should they now benefit from the VAT on it if they don't drink alcohol.

Educated Almajari. Go and say this nonsense to your fellow Almajaris.

Go and keep VAT from your Grains while we keep VAT from our Beer.

Mai gworo, you haven't seen anything yet. All Southern States will soon ban okada riding. Then, we will build ranches and when we are self sufficient in meat production, we pass health regulations that cattle to be sold for public consumption must pass state health checks.
Dan Fodio will cry bitterly by the time we're done.
