Informative post

Mr. Election Monitor can you tell us your data on votes casted and figures of your phantom winner in the election?
Just a question was previous Anambra election also by the votes?

PlanetZero:
Utilise hydro, gas etc first, idiot

They always think of what they can't do just as an excuse for their nonsense. You can here that they have earmark 10 billion dollars on road map to nuclear energy and siphon the fund. Bunch of misplaced priorities

In power plant feasibility study is the first priority.
Hydro is virtually exhausted in Nigerian territory. Only gas can be feasible because it rely only on the fossil fuel. And as far as you can safely and securely transport fuel to the plant you can build thousands of power plants without limitations.
But will the criminal thieves allow such pipelines alone? Your answer is as good as mine

codemaniacs:
Idiot politicians.


Build a 500MW - 1000MW solar facility or windmill facility in every state and the electricity problem is solved.

Really?
By the way how many hectares of land will be wasted and how many batteries will one use to achieve only 1MW?
If you have solar installation in your house how much did it cost you for a meager 5kw? Assuming you are not using the mains supply ( you rely on solar for charging 100%) as you are proposing.
Solar power is the most wasteful and cost intensive system of electricity generation ever.

A recall under the current INEC voters is virtually impossible.
There is no single ward in Nigeria that the actual ed voters get upto 50% of the list. It was highly over bloated . So getting a 50%+1 is impossible.
There is need for voter revalidation by INEC to remove multiple registrations, Dead voters and other anomalies.

ok

Temp:

Then they should process their products into finished goods which would then be taxable cum encouraging industrialization in such states.

Solved!

I personally work in a agro processing company in kebbi state. I personally dispatched more than 14 billion naira worth of finished product every single month.
The companies are two in number. And I am only talking about the one I am working in. The other one is also having the same value of dispatches.
7.5% of 14 billion means 1.05 billion as VAT every month. Now if you check VAT of kebbi state it is in the range of 600 million naira.
There are 6 other similar agro processing companies processing same products here in kebbi state alone. So how comes the vat is so low?
The answer is that the headquarters of these companies are located in Lagos. And as such even though the company is here. Sourcing for raw materials and processing it here in kebbi the royalties and VAT are deducted at Lagos office.
If they can make decentralization of VAT such that every single state should have the full recognition of it's VAT nobody will complain. But look at how people are thinking that the north is a parasite. I want to see a scenario where it can be enforced 100%. Only then will people understand what is the real VAT of Lagos and Ogun states.

This is misleading. I work in a certain processing company in Kebbi. I dispatched more than 13 billion naira goods. That's a vat duty of about 1 billion naira in the month of August 2024.
The company is located in kebbi. It sources bulk of it's raw material from same kebbi State. And it only transport it's final products all over the country. The head office is located in Lagos. So all these accruing vat is cited as Lagos contribution to federation.
Thos is just one company in kebbi. And we have 2 branches. I only work in one plant. There are also 6 other companies in the same business in the same kebbi State.

Gambling is the worst social vice in society.
Gambling, alcoholism, fornication and stealing. Are the 4 vices in any sane society. The worst is if one combined the whole 4. It is possible for one to indulge in only one. But just not gambling. Anybody that indulge in gambling automatically indulge on the whole 4. There is no way a gambler can stay away from the other three vices

Good

This is impossible. The plane can reach Abuja or the required three emergency airports close to Abuja. This is a basic requirement. No aircraft can take off without fulfilling this requirement.
The scenario is the plane have plans of refuelling in Abuja and after taking off communicate with Abuja and was told there is a very long quee at ABV refilling point. So it may be easier to return and refuel at Lagos. Why doesn't it refuel in the first instance? It is possible that there a also a quee at MM of say 60 minutes. So the flight can think it is too much they can't wait only to be told that at Abuja 4 or more Boeing 747 are on quee to be refueled. That may be 4 or more hours on quee. Definitely the flight may decide Lagos is better or in extreme cases move to another airport with fuel dump for refuelling.
Since the aircraft returns to Lagos it means the time delay at Lagos is less than other places.
For those who think the story is true. An international flight can land in Lagos and about to take engers and return to Europe but due to that quee delay in refuelling the aircraft will just take off go to Birnin Kebbi airport land there just to refuel and go back to Lagos and pick engers to Europe. I witness this scenario multiple times.

What is the source of the generation stations?

CodeTemplarr:

Since we prioritize sharing of resources over production of essentials and the leaders are always taking lion's share of what is shared, we have to see some tough times. Production of what improves living standard is low and dwindling against growing needs.

The northern governor just rejected a tax reform bill that rewards states for progress made in VAT generation. In Principle, they are saying any state spending money to create a conducive environment for industrial scale value-adding activity or business is wasting her time to a large extent.
So therefore eat your Kosai, Buns, Yam and Potato like that.
Besides this pricing is like that of southern states some 18-24 months ago.

How is the VAT generated now? It seems you know nothing about tax matters but you want to comment. All VAT generated from all the 774 local governments are always remitted through the headquarters of any company. Now most of the headquarters are located in Lagos alone. So in essence all taxes are from Lagos irrespective of transaction location.
Check your bank tax remittance it is never from the branch you are operating it is always from The headquarters of your bank. So in essence the consumption/service is only Lagos.
If the government can break every company/ service sector into individual states the issue will not even arise. But realistically it is virtually impossible to do VAT remittance state by state as the resources the company will need will be very huge.
Many people only alcohol vice in their thinking. But funny enough the northern leaders are clamouring for the same thing let the remittance be at the location of the transaction or services. So alcohol will not be part of their revenue as they don't have any transaction on that so nil vat

How is VAT collected is it at the headquarters or at each branch of economic activity?
It seems people are just talking without knowing their left from right

Lack of understanding from all those commenting dangote this and that.
They paid NNPC and now they want to lift as independent where is the payment? Definitely with NNPC. In that case how can dangote release his product without payment. how NNPC use to behave. If he dare release the fuel till 2026 NNPC will not have the opportunity or mind to pay him

We have a lot of ignorant people pretending to be educated but they knew nothing.
VAT is consumption tax. So it is deducted at the final point of transaction (customer).
Now Nigeria have 36 state + FCT. A single company located in Kebbi just processing Rice have an annual 800 billion naira sales that's 60 billion naira tax remitted to the federation just from VAT. Not to talk of other company and contractual taxes. Unfortunately the company producing these products and generating these sales is fully located in Kebbi state but it is under another services company headquartered in Lagos state. So all these 60 billion Tax will appear as Lagos state VAT collection. This is the crux of the matter not Alcohol issue. This is why Lagos state have huge revenue collection at the detriment of other states.
I am sure the Northern states will have no issue if alcohol taxes are removed from their state VAT as they know they don't allow sales or consumption of alcohol (legally at least).
And come to think of it all those talking about alcohol taxes are interestingly ignorant that they can't reason that what those northern caucus are seeking for is exactly what you are claiming should be done but because it is rocket science to them they are just talking up and down and disgracing their society
VAT is shared according to remittance so in a state that have zero remittance on alcohol zero amount is expected to be given for that.

ozo13:
hahaha.abeg check up that ur paragraph 1 , second sentence.u mean the difference between level 3 and 8 isn't up to 2k. If by this ur statement, there is element of truth, then that one no be salary scale nah.Please read what u wrote up there again abeg.so u are telling me with this 75k minimum wage level 8 may not get the 75k basic salary.
Also explain what's HARPSS-10/2 means abeg for us to get a better understanding because it's complex to believe someone on HARPSS 10/2 earning 31k as basic salary and u want to prove to us your state was paying 30k minimum wage.

I don't have to convince you on what you don't know about. Any civil servant of kebbi state they is earning less than 30k give me your computer number let me get your payslip and you can see wether you are earning the minimum wage of 30k or not

ozo13:
this payslip is it for entry level 1 or what

You don't even know how this scale is. The minimum is level 3. And the difference in salary between level 3 and level 8 in the state civil service is not UpTo 2000 naira.
Ask any civil servant messenger that really have offer of appointment to show you his payslip it must be above 30k
I challenge anybody that claims otherwise to prove me wrong by bringing his payslip. If he is too busy to give me his computer number and I will print out his payslip.
The above is for level 10 in the state civil service. The table is very lopsided. As those with lowest salary benefit most in any increments in minimum wage.

ozo13:
I swear.its now a challenge and commendable
Imagine kebbi firing straight from 18k minimum wage down to 75k .the last istration never paid 30k minimum wage to the best of my knowledge.

Kebbi has always paid 30k in the past. If you are a state civil servant go to gwadangwaji Ministry of finance second floor (computer room) ask for your payslip. Just give them your computer number they will print it out and give you within 5 minutes. And it is free of charge. No single Kobo from you.
On the payslip you will see your salary gross and net. Many people are just talking ignorantly

Great

Rubbish.
I believe SAN title should have a 6 months validity period. That is after every 6 month every lawyer should study, write and the law course to be eligible for the next 6 months SAN title.
Imagine this nonsense coming from NBA executive. It is a shame on the whole law profession.

Can one expect to earn wages from his personal property?

ArcSEMPECJ:


Yes coming from an Atheist that doesn't believe in God but can't point out how they were born or the day they will die ....lols

Or coming from a Muslim who was shocked and surprised about the birth of Christ, even adopted it in their suna and Qur'an but r fused to expand his teachings but rather started preaching about a carnal man....lols

Where can you run from the presence of Jesus Christ?

Muslims believe in Jesus as a man and a messenger of God not God Almighty himself. i doubt if jesus ever called himself the God almighty. so who is that author who coined the name to him?

I doubt this Intel in the sense it is trying to loop in Iran into alqaeda network operations.
There is no way Iran and alqaeda can work together ever. Even the adage an enemy of my enemy is my friend cannot work in this regard.
Shia and alqaeda can never coexist

Fishy arrangement. why will the NNPc became the middlemen?

Why is the pms only for NNPC? That means NNPC will be the middlemen here.
Something is not clear here

Thieves

LagosPrince:

Why not go to north and preach tinubu to confirm if it's fake or not

i am currently in the north. infact i am currently in kebbi state so which north are you talking about?
even in the north those thieves/robbers calling themselves protesters are not upto 2% of the population.

FAKE. Which ward chairman is this and which local government?

Fake reporting. Nobody with leg fracture can stand like that under 2 months
If it is a toddler it may be possible but never a full grown man.

are they out demonstrating or stealing and robbing people, shops and stores?
give us the location where this happened. or are you beaten for stealing and you want to lie here?

Useless unknown group.
