We want to hear the fall of fuel and Food Commodities for the common Man, you get the point now?

It's a gradual process.

😆 😆
Jokers!

Those bills are good as DEAD

SeriouslySense:
The President Tinubu has my respect, for bringing such a thoughtful bill . First time Mr Tinubu is making a lot of senses.

It is a wonderful bill, each state should be encolaged to exploit their resources and benefit from it, by thinking wisely and taking wise actions

How about oil and gas revenues? is the oil and gas producing states meant to "exploit their resources and benefit from it"?

MrBanner:
Why is the north bent on being a leech? Don’t they want to grow?

Not until fiscal federalism with resource control is introduced in Nigeria - as done in other federations in the world. For now, the dole system of going to Abuja every month-end for federal allocations rules Nigeria. Imagine US states depending on Washington DC capital for monthly doles to operate.

Kukutenla:

This is a commendable move and it will be interesting to see what their outcome will be

They already met before and outrightly rejected the bill for selfish reasons that do not serve the people but them alone.

Kaiser20:

Nigerians are not waiting for the 'Best President, we will never have it.
We just want a sensible visionary leader with integrity.
This present Tinubu -led APC government is corrupt and lacks integrity, can not be trusted.

Is Tinubu led APC government not visionary and sensible to undertake the necessary reforms the past leaders have shied away from?

His government might be ridden with corruption and lacks integrity. What about the past istrations that chickened out from undertaking and implementing the reforms the country needed?

As I saw it, he might not be able to stop the corruption in the subsidy regime because of the rots in the system but to remove it. Now he's gradually cleaning up the system to make it viable and healthy. At least, give him credit for the little achievements and success.

To all the Sycophants employed by Tinubu’s ers groups to defend Tinubu on social media with propaganda, shame on guys
If Tinubu is truly doing well, people will love his actions. You can not hide achievements

The way you people show your brainlessness on this app is amazing.

Yes the federal government funds the states in the US. Policies are generated on a federal level and left to states to implement same as in Nigeria.

When you stop being slaves your brains may finally work smh

Tinubu needs to explain the bill to the common man and how the funds - coming from people that are already struggling to survive will not end up in private or even foreign pockets as has been happening for decades.

ednut1:
Southern leaders nko?

Are you talking about elites who have been agitating for it over the years? No deliberating or unnecessarily delay the tax should be implemented straight. No food for a lazy man.

Comfyonos2019:
I don't understand, is it tinubu tax reform bill. So, after tinubu leaves office, it will still be tinubu tax bill ,so the bill is not for Nigerians but meant for tinubu. What kind of funny caption is this

Na you no go school it means tinubu was the one that initiated it which ex president didn't .

So he must be ed for that that's why his name was tagged to it

Shey those COWS !!!?
You think their lives matters.

Those wey prefer to eat undone rice with raw grounded pepper, red oil, and with plenty maggi.
Those ones no get sense.

POORverty wear them clothe.

MrBanner:

they're growing, they jst want free money.... Some oil producing states don't have some infrastructures some northern state have

crossbreedwears:
Can someone please explain what this tax reform means? I am really serious

The tax reform means every state of the federation should strive to contribute their quota by reason of the resources available in their States to the central purse. For instance, if in IMO state,the resources available to them generate 100% profit in a year,60% profit would be given to them for their state development while 40% will be taken by the central government. A state without any effort to generate resources available to them would just have a meagre % of national allocation. Not the present case where, whether you labour or not there's federal allocation for you to take from the center. In a way,every state is to utilizes the resources available to them since the resources are sparsely distributed across the nation.Recently, Kaduna state has just discovered, Quartz for making clocks and electronic devices. If she succeeded in exploiting it well sixty percentage of the resources will be to develop Kaduna and the forty percent to the nation purse. LOBATAN! CHIKENA!

See an afon calling some one a leech , what is afon land? U leeching on the oil and gas in the south south since 1970s , that’s all u live for

Gbogbowa:
can you grow in one year.if you are going to change sharing ration you need to communicate with the people and have an agreement of about 2 to 3 years so that the governors will start to work on how develop VATable company in is region

This is an excuse of a lazy man.

Tinubu does really cares for second term but his willingness to put Nigeria right outweigh any personal ambition. That's a stuff of a real leader. I'm not happy with his other reforms causing us to suffer but doing something that is confusing the entire Northern leaders leeches like this is a big relief.

reiddecuti:
Best way for them to go. I've never been a fan of Tinubu and I've never ed APC, not after Buhari successfully recked the country.

The problems of Nigeria is foundational. Every past governments has shied away from introducing the necessary reform needed to set the country on the path of growth, success, prosperity, righteousness but Tinubu has decided to tackle the issues headlong without waiting to do that in his second term.

I've come to realization, Tinubu doesn't care if his policies will cost him second term though some of his actions and other government officials might show otherwise.


Hate him or love him, he might end up to be the best President of Nigeria so far.

Best where? How is much is bag of Rice, naira- dollar, other food stuffs, ,T- fare. The reality is the condition of living in Nigeria..Una dey think at all ?

Tflex01:


Incoherent as always. 😆

I know you cry everyday for coming from the generation of losers and you earnestly wish to be part of Yoruba race.

I be yoruba. We're all facing the hardships in the country. Are you buying cheaper goods in the market than other tribes?

For the 8 years wey T-pain go use. Na all of us no go ress

Hisbah will destroy beer bottles in Kano and want to continue enjoying d tax on beer and other be beverages from FG.

U want to keep benefiting from d tax paid by companies u destroy their products ,kidnapp and kill their staffs in your region.

That's not fair.

Pointless
Committee

Centrik360:
First to comment.



The north is not Left with any options.
With or without them the bill will be ed

So where will you get the numbers in various Houses to the bill.
You think ing a bill that requires voting is akin to going to Idumota to crack jokes?

Shawarmagirl:
Nonsense and ingredients.
If you are still in Nigeria and still believe Nigeria go better, you go wait tire and keep wishing until you kpai. JAPA if you can for the sake of yourself and children.

Must everyone leave Nigeria?
You that seems to have left don't you have loved ones here?

That's we are saying. If you like travel the whole, your Nigerianess is inate, no be wash.

God forbid if you are deported today, you will report in Nigeria, so one can't total do away with motherland!

So we won't stop wishing and expecting mother land to become better.

What is the point of having Senators and House of Reps from the North?

Way to go.
Check through the bills, review it with unbiased minds then come up with your resolutions to the government.
This will show you as serious minded than all these kicking going up and down.

Wetin they review again. No more free money from beer tax petroleum etc. ]ii8888988

This Tax Reforms Bills has really exposed the self-centred north lazy political leaders,their only interest is what to share from states' and local governments' allocations after that a shout of marginalization immediately anything threaten the infrastructure of feeding fat from federal allocations,no pyramid from north again because oil money.

Arobaga:



You are calling your slave masters jokers



Your Yoruba elders will soon deny you like they did to Sunday Igboho



Better respect the north that comes to your region and beat you blue black

You talk without thinking. If Azikiwe didn't present himself a slave to the north, we won't be where we are today. Have you Igbos ever sorted to collaborate with SW? No, you have also always tilted towards the north. Obi has been channeling a lot resources towards the north cause he knows how important they are albeit in the strength of their population.

How did Yoruba elders deny Sunday Igboho? Why is your memory so short? Have you forgotten that it was Yoruba elders that rallied round to make sure Sunday Igboho was not brought back to Nigeria immediately he was arrested in Benin Republic? Yoruba leaders were proactive and that's why Sunday Igboho is walking free today.

On the other side, Sunday Igboho was arrested just in nearby Benin Republic but the Nigeria government didn't succeed in bringing him back due to the moves made by Yoruba elders but look at Nnamdi Kanu who was arrested all the way in Kenya but was brought to Nigeria. What were Igbo elders doing? They looked on till Kanu was forcefully brought back to Nigeria and it is still an Igbo man that is claiming Yorubas deny Igboho. This obviously shows how shallow your thinking is, so abysmal. Has ability to read and write but yet very illiterate.

Kukutenla:
The north is being strategic and mature in its approach

This is a commendable move and it will be interesting to see what their outcome will be

Putting the cart before the horse
That what should gave been done earlier
Why condemn when what you've not critically analyse
It was when everybody was asking for their reason then they set up committe. Even renowned Prof Zulum couldn't pick up out a section but was just blackmailing the bill
Although better late than never

Lazy Northern governors. They should all sit down and make their states viable, the time for free money is gone. Let them stop all the illegal nd free mining then remit the money to the federal government for equitable distribution.

By the time these Northern people are through with this Bill, it will rather become Tax Meaningless Bill.
They will make every other region feel the north is vulnerable and should therefore be considered..
Or still better they'll make sure they delay this bill for another 20years

Kukutenla:
The north is being strategic and mature in its approach

This is a commendable move and it will be interesting to see what their outcome will be

The north are a parasitic beggars who believe they can't survive without money from other regions. The northern elders alongside the governors, past and present have only shown the kind of failure they are notwithstanding the fact that they have enjoyed resources in Nigeria more than others.
