Omo lagos dey really help southwest ooo

And all the 35 states are helping Lagos for importing goods through it and allowing the major companies headquarters to be located there and getting all the tax at their own detriment

chigator2:


Yet they are not complaining of your tax reform abi. Reform am, infact remove us from the sharing formula, nothing go shake.

Go and find out the only region in Nigeria that built an airport through asusu ( private citizens money contribution ). No be by who tax citizens

chest beating 😂

naijacann:
The information is deceptive in a way and distorts the contributions of SE
It failed to for the percentage of South Easterners residing in various parts of the country and contributing hugely to this VAT.
Remove SE indigenes' consumption strength/ expenditures from Rivers(SS), Edo (SS), Lagos (SW), Abuja (NC) Delta (SS) and Kano (North) and lets see what their VAT would eventually be.
Everyone knows south easterners travel a lot and contributes hugely to wherever they reside.
This is why I believe the data is deceptive and does not give the whole picture.

How about the areas where the South Easterners are predominant?

The South East!

No dey cap rubbish oga.

All this na nonsense statistics jare. Person recharge him line for Sambisa forest, MTN come collect VAT pay am to Lagos state because the company headquarters dey there. Now how is that fair? Even Boko haram contribute to Lagos state VAT revenue

Omo lagos dey really help southwest ooo

comut lag... South West still dey top 2 states

yashau:
OYO State Contributed more than south east combined N272.41bn

This is why you lots should divide the country ASAP, let the parasites go , lets see something

Why the federal government sends down soldiers, police, security to the south south revealed

Smartcitizen:
I love the south east....

If you like contribute all your family we don't care.

After all, we have been telling anybody who cares that we don't like this useless country rule by a criminal again.


Let the south east eat their money instead of contributing any nonsense.


Useless people.

😂😂😂😂😂

if it was the other way round, u go dey gloat...see as shame dey make u dey act stupid 😂😂😂😹😹

Everybody dey use Monday dey hustle
One people turn Monday to holiday
How Dem wan take contribute.
Who go carry him money go where people dey sleep for house every Monday.....
Mtchewwwwwwwwww
Na una go tire.

Open Port Harcourt and Delta Port for importation let me check something.

VAT is not the main stay of Nigeria's economy. Niger Delta is running this country 90%.

Why are you guys amplifying the 10% contribution being shared by the whole 36 states?

You can see the geo-political zone that help this country at large ..
South west help Nigeria..
Follow by South South..
Others are just harvesting from where they did not planted ..

We go reform the tax by fire by force ..

which port dey kano? Why dem dey contribute other states?

LegendHero:


Okay Ronaldo, tell us why Oyo generated more VAT than the whole South East.

Is it MTN too?

Na olodo go believe Oyo generated more than SE. Jmoore clearly explained that the stat is wrong. Do you even understand the meaning of point of sale?

Pathetic to see so much ignorant people spewing rubbish.

The data was gathered and developed to solve a particular problem. It is more useful when you look at it from the point view of the agency who provided the information.

greenermodels:

Very correct, under a neutral president, even Lagos domination of shipping and airport activities would collapse.

What do you mean "under a neutral president, even Lagos domination of shipping and airport activities would collapse"?. Are you insinuating that the Portuguese and British that sited Lagos as the main shipping port into what is now known as Nigeria were un-neutral. Maybe the Azikiwe-Tafa Belewa government of 1960 were un-neutral as they did not move the main sea port from Lagos.
Lagos has numerous advantages for seaport over all other ports in Nigeria. It's faces the Atlantic directly. It requires little or no dredging to keep it navigable. It is the nearest Nigerian port to Europe and the Americas (where until recently were our biggest trading partners).
I am not saying we should not expand and upgrade other ports including the Onitsha port, but knowing how lazy and corrupt our government officials are, they just can't be bothered to do the wahala.

You haters have been saying this from time immemorial, while Lagos keep moving, you keep wail.ing

LegendHero:


Okay let’s remove Rivers from South South and see the real figures. Then we go ahead to remove Kano from North West and see the real figure.

You see how dummb that sound?

No problem. Remove them and repost the figures.

Try get sense abeg.. That's just tax.. Tinubu should also law that what come from ur region, u should hv 50%...Then u will know who is helping Nigeria.. Crude oil sales from SS is not included in this, so u should know. Lagos tax all oil companies head quarters that ain't operating in SW.. Import duties from Ports monopoly is also part of d tax . He wants to start what he can't finish

yashau:
Abi, Lagos dey really help Nigeria 🇳🇬 😑

Let us unite this nation so that things can move for better tomorrow...


Is getting worst everyday n we r taking it like is fun...


Nigeria was a very united country....

Potilics, tribalism and religion is causing us serious damage...

Pathetic to see so much ignorant people spewing rubbish.

If the statistics is wrong, why has the governors of the south Eastern states not provided their own statistics?

jmoore:
You guys keep recycling same post all over again because of sheer ignorance.



All mtn airtime, data purchase in Nigeria is under Lagos. Someone that lives in Aba making use of mtn phone line is having his VAT recorded under Lagos because MTN headquarters is in Lagos.

Until VAT is recorded according to point of sales, stop basking in the euphoria laid on faulty foundation.


It's pathetic to come online to see multitude that have been baptized in ignorance.

Oyo too is headquarter for compines abi?

BloomingDale:


No problem. Remove them and repost the figures.

I’ve removed them. Oyo alone still generate more VAT than the whole 5 SE states.

Should I remove Oyo too?

Oboy

I see saprophytes

Who is jmoore and how is the stat wrong?

For us to b using social media to promotes our individual biz

We r using it for fight for politics tribalism religious

fuckJones:
The data only came out to confirm what some us already knew to be true. An empty barrel makes the most noise. When we tell them that what brings economic growth to a region is its human capital and not access to the sea port. They'll say, "Just give us a seaport like Lagos and see what we will do." Now statistics have shown that Kano state, which has no single seaport , is doing even better than some states that have access to the ports.

Remove Lagos (which was built with the contribution of the entire country as the capital for 70+ years), let's see the real figures of the SW

babat89:




How about the areas where the South Easterners are predominant?

The South East!

No dey cap rubbish oga.

Then add up their contributions away and at home and then add it up.
You cannot chose one and leave the other. There is no other geographical zone in the country that travels as widely as SE and we all know this.
I can barely count the number of Hausas or Yorubas leaving or residing anywhere in the SE.

Cherrybae:
Imagine south East contributing the less and got the majority.

Billionaires my foot.

No wonder ipob and obedients never for one day criticise the Tax Reform bills.

We can now see the real oarasites.

Mtcheeeeew

You're jumping around this thread like a headless chicken spewing nonsense ignorantly. Let MTN and other companies start paying tax in the states where their customers are and see if these stats won't change. Someone in Aba will recharge airtime and it'll be recorded under MTN headquarters in LAgos. Besides, why do you imps masturbate about IGR? When has IGR been a statistics for measuring standards of living? GDP per Capita is the real deal, but I know you illiterates won't know this

Kreesxxx:
North is truly reaping the benefits of Amalgamation. North is supposed to have a date set aside to celebrate Lord Lugard.

LoL 🤣

yashau:
Na now we know the real parasite

Be clever always not sometimes. How can a region with 5 states devoid of federal presence, investment and at the same time marginalised be at par with regions with 6 states ?. Not logical.
