Muhammad Magaji, the state’s Commissioner for Finance and Economic Creation, made the appeal at the start of a Technical Workshop on the development of the state’s Medium-Term Sector Strategy (MTSS).

The Gombe State Government has appealed to Southern State Governments to reconsider their push to keep Value Added Tax generated from their states.

The demand came in response to Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos and Nyesom Wike of Rivers taking moves to begin VAT collection in their respective states. “The VAT issue will have adverse effects not only on Gombe State but almost all the states of the federation. I was part of the discussion few weeks ago by all commissioners of finance across the country.

Mumu! You think all Southerners are foolish like your senseless kindred. Ode!!!

How is it possible to be brother when the said brother is a pretender milking the other brother dry

The same brother you wished death on?

Use your useless population to generate your revenue. what did you say when Kano was destroying bears?

Now you have to be gainfully employed. And you know we have never been brothers ke? So what rubbish are you on about

Stupidity on steroids! Southerners to keep working and paying taxes for clowns in the North to sit back doing nothing but enjoying federal allocation funded principally from the South ábi?! Thank God that era is now over...If you like dont generate VAT urself. Hunger kee u dia!

Brothers ke

The days of cheap money are finally drawing out. There are no brothers in this story

Parasites that feed on others

I hate zoo

Talking from a lazy state in zoo

So we can be our brothers keeper, while you are our brothers killers?

Ogun kill my brother 😂

Rubbish

It has happened the cock as crown Eagle has landed Brothers keeper nil I honestly don't understand why Northerners think they are better than South we have been keeping quite for long is time for South to unite

We will be happy to be your good neighboring country, provided you're able to control your fool-ani janjaweed from the Sahel.

Na brothers keeper make Cain kill Abel

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 DeadAss

Thunder 🔥🔥🔥

But you don't want to be brothers keepers and end violence

Please, can someone explain what VAT in this context, I know but I can't relate it to the topic.

No be only keeper, na defender.

Keeper ko, goal post ni. You guys should for once be responsible for your destiny, this faac allocation has made many states so lazy and never creative, just depending on other. Fiscal federalism is way to go, create your wealth and give % to FG, this nonsense can't continue!

He should channel his brother's keeper energy to his hisbah brothers who have been distroying ppls business in the north where they can generate their own VAT. in the name of Sharia law enforcement

Every man (State) for himself. He should getat. Lost brother.

This one still de drink kunu for office, I'll be excited if this state tax stands even though my home state Abia will still be affected but every state will buckle up eventually.

All Oil company HQRs should be relocated to the South.

All the VAT una bin collect in time past, what have you invested it on in your respective states as governors to sustain your states?

Ogbeni brother man turn Jesus straight up be ur brothers keeper 😂

There's nothing like brother's keeper once fulanis is involved, fulani can not survive without violent, fulani can survive without shading blood of innocent Nigeria, so who is your brother? who is your keeper? Because a brother con not shades the blood of his brothers.

Beggie Beggie 😂

Brothers Keeper? Is he for real?

Oga go and start thinking for even twins maintain independence. Assistance is not forced. I chose to or not. Atleast no more free lunch. Hustle! Kill quota system and kill incompetence in your region.

Funny, are you really brothers now?

It's now they know we're brothers 😂🤣😂😂😅

The best way to help anyone is not by handouts but showing them how to make it too

another lazy man talking

Rubbish, enough of these Sentiments. Everyone should wake up and USE what you have to DEVELOP his/her Area. You can't continue to ROB Peter to Pay Paul. I Support WIKE 200%.

Hahahahaha this is a man that knows what’s up, free money will soon stop.

Despite being years in government, guys really don’t understand the business that is governance. They think it’s kporakpo sentiments. Which be brother’s keeper when the country is dying If it was their private business is that what they’ll say

Tell the Zamfara gold owners. They say the gold and all the income thereof belongs to them. They even went ahead to unilaterally sell to a foreign country. The South is learning fast how to get their due. And that restructuring will come sooner than later. Bunch of cheats.

You northerners think you can survive without the south… the handwriting is written on the wall. You owns the majority of vote and use it as a weapon against the south, the south owns the highest VAT generation. Let the game begins

Empty brains in government House.

Not only keeper na player

Oh wow Gombe still exists?

Which kind be our brothers keeper? This is real restructuring.

What is he afraid of? You have been feasting on us yet we kept muted for decades. Now the true federalism is showing its beautiful head you are afraid. Many of you will leave politics and return to farm

😂😂😂

Imagine using beer vat to pay hisbah, haram haram haram, my brother let us start understanding from there

E n siere, just because you have mass you cant decide to be greedy and we watch you, you decide at polls, let us decide the economy, dead brother's keeper shit

Brothers keeper kill you there 😂😂

Hahahahaha, can't they take VAT from cows? Must we continue to spoonfeed these criminals?

Mr Governor No going back on this. This VAT thing is not going to affect the northern part alone, but it as come to stay.

What changed?. Grow your IGR or go. Wike exposed you all. I’m fully in support. We can’t be enjoying taxes from alcohol while we destroy same daily. Enough Is Enough!.

While these same brothers kill our businesses in the name of religion? Never. Our religion teaches us to cut off any thing that leads us to doom including our brothers. Y’all leading us to doom so will start with this. Also, hold your cows cos doctors advise against red meats.

Oh now you know people from south are your brothers? Kindly, keep that your brotherly love and face the reality with whole chest. 'Hustle your hustle, make I hustle my own hustle'.

Maybe, just maybe(i hope) this would discourage sycophants from running for elective position. The moment it hits you that the state you're planning to govern when you win election 'don't have money' you go kuku withdraw from the race.

This northerners are so parasitic ..parasitic in nature laced with arrogance and impunity

May thunder fire that your 'Brothers keeper' make una go to hell

It's a shame really. This exposes the fact that the North really is less productive despite being the most populated region in Nigeria. The south derive VAT from same things you destroy and condemn in d north. Kidnapping, terrorism and banditry won't generate VAT. Hope you learn

When northern local police is destroying alcoholic drinks made in the south? Is like you people don't think before acting. Nigeria is Nigeria. No place in Nigeria should practice something that directly affects the rights of another person.

All Northern Governors are lazy and wicked

Who are your brothers?

Awwwww ☺️

Imagine!! This people no get sense atall

This guy is literally begging, so used to begging that they can’t think of more ways to generate income for themselves. Others will suffer to generate income, idiots will relax expecting to get a share from what they didn’t work for. GovWike continue pressing their stupid necks.

No no no aboki no more free money

Make then dey destroy beer and liquors dey go.

Brothers you say?

That's not brother's keeper that is stupidity

The restructuring Nigeria has been dreading for long is gradually creeping in.

Truly, Truly i say onto you, the days of rubbing Peter and pay Paul are over. U guys created fake states & fake local government & lied about population of d norther. Start collecting VAT from your people & use it to develop boko haram. U guys have pushed d southerns to the wall

Should have thought about that when your brothers were destroying precious beer and killing people. You reap what you sow

😂😂😂 chickens have come to roost

Finally, Woke has restructured Nigeria

When your Hisbash are destroying alcohol you Know reason say we be brothers?

Monkey dey work baboon dey chop

How are we related? Brothers my black nyansh No be una fault, na Lord Lugard caused this mess

After fulanization ?

Lol 😆😆😆

Day don break for this one...

My elementary geography tells me that people in the arid/Sahel regions are less in population whereas those in the mangrove and forest are more in population, but here in zoo country the reverse is the case courtesy Lord Lugard arrangement. To your tent oh Israel.

We have played mumu for long. If beer is banned in the Muslim north why will you accept the VAT from the same commodity you banned. Why should Kano generate about =N=2.8bn from vat 100% given to them whereas Rivers state generated more and only 33% is given to Rivers.

Awọn werey. Sebi una sabi dwstroy beers? Go learn how to generate money bastard oeople

Haaa werey, wo una go suffer 😂😂😂😂

Mscheeeew

JajaPhD Naaaaah! We ain’t related and have nothing in common. Nothing whatsoever. Fend for yourselves. EAT YOUR COWS!

It is now you know?

But this is what we've been clamouring for all along 'true Federalism'. Moreso, it does not make sense that you ban alcohol in your State then somehow you want to follow back door and share VAT from the same alcohol.. really? are you joking?

Its better let our village man embezzle our man than a complete stranger .

Parasites

Shebi na u talk say if wonna block some places like tunfure, wonna go kill plenty people abi? Continue we are watching u from the higher places..

Sips Kunu... No, dear

ChibuzoUjam shey I told you restructuring is coming? Remember?

Lazy baboons you want free money to buy agbada

Ka m nukwa

Oga say brother's keeper Asif i don't know my mother children.

Keep multiying in numbers. Politics is a game of number Covert your numbers in VAT

Nah God Go Punish Am , Anything Him Dey Serve Nah That Thing Go Punish Am

Nollywood will be a blessing to southern states in terms proceeds that will be generated from the film industry.

Now you people want us to be brothers, God punish una there..

They never saw it coming..

Lmao WTMG

Abori nta yin😑😑😑😑😑

Our brothers have Hisbah destroying alcohol like maniacs up there. So, it's time let our brothers go out there and fend for themselves. Make everybody normal for once

More like saying let's pat our brother's ass when they are caught up in their own shit

Why should Kano state should keep all the taxes in their state but not in the south hypocrisy

Mad ass people

They are crazy. They should use their population to that they always use to rig election to also generate VAT. You are destroying alcohol all in the name of Sharia law.

Break up Nigeria now, it has expired.

Ekwensu kpoo unu oku

😂

Yeye the smell lazy people looking for who will generate revenue to fund for their states

Upon all our money you northerners packed to enrich una sef. No way

You people think we the south are foolish. But we are not. Una go soon hear am.

FGN being robbing Peter to pay Paul for too long. Federalism by fire by force.

Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We are not brothers! Your brothers are those herder terrorist from that north and the pit of Sahel. If U can manufacture millions of voters from turning sands into eligible humans,Oga U can also manufacture millions of tax payers. Monkey dey work and die, Baboon dey chop and kill

Look the way this people are advancing on us is unbearable, we have cried a lot, we have complained, brought our evidences to our fellow men who hold onto us as their colony. We are the people and demand our freedom from the zoo fulanisation. The saboteurs will never go free

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shey kano, kaduna and katsina dey pull one million plus in voting during elections, can't they also pull that kind of money in VAT generation. Or na only for election the kadarshains dey get strength. 😆 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂

No

Sounds like someone who's power over his statizens is fully dependent on FAAC.

Wikeforpresident

I should write a book on 'The hypocrisy of politics and religion in Northern Nigeria'

A brother working, another brother eating only?

This VAT thing by southern state governors should be sustained. No doubling back. The injustice against the south is so much. No more shall it continue.

If you like vote another Northern as president. I know Yorubas have learnt from previous mistakes. Southern President or Southern Nigeria! Simple!

Goalkeeper ni🙄

We're never brothers. Go back in history. That's why you people have refused the implementation of real and true federalism. Restructuring una no gree because of your parasitic nature.

You no want alcohol but you want the VAT that comes from it. Tanki Uu

Please you people should stay on your own Southerners have tolerated you enough please stay on your own BIAFRA NATION RESTORATION IS A MUST NOTHING STOP'S IT IT'S A MUST

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This headline is so funny 🤣😂😅

Once this new VAT judgment is implemented, then ban on open grazing is operational, if the so called Fulani herders still wish to operate in the south, they should embrace ranching which will be taxed and more income accrue to the state. Dem go get sense by force. Damboroba shege

Suddenly audio rice and real gold aren't enough ? All of us go dey okay.

Mumu talk, feeding off pyramid scheme.

The north should stop destroying beer

snaape101 😁😁

Funny people. I can now see who will suffer if Nigeria divide

You the craze?. Who be your brother?

Your brothers are in Niger 🇳🇪 and Chad 🇹🇩

Send hisbah and their atrocities away in order for you to enjoy from the alcohol and oil VAT.. Afterall, shebi una tell us sey una don detect crude oil for North, that one too is okay for all of una to dey share

😂😂😂😂😂😂

And hisbah police is destroying 🍺 in Kano! Rubbish

He should wait until True Federalism happens. The states will.have their own police

Brothers keeper keee? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am laughing in Chinese. Northern Governors and Hisbah should be made to pay compensation for all the goods of people that were destroyed. That's the only valid point to start this brothers keeper thing from. FreeMaziNnamdiKanuNow

So make monkey dey work and baboon go dey chop am abi.

After enjoying our VAT your destroy our businesses in the north name of Islam and no one pays . Sell your cow and keep your VAT

Okwa you people ate breaking bottles of alcohol, una go see taati. This is just the beginning. Una never see something 😂😂😂

Brothers what? 😂😂 Criminal! 😂😂😂

Quota system in the mud

Who is your brother?

Lmao

Hisbah should be given the contract to generate VAT for them

What FG should do now is to play the role of an umpire in these VAT issue they should only negotiate with each states to collect a certain percentage from every VAT generated with each state government while the remaining shoud be kept by the state other state will SIT UP

“One North” and “One South” nothing like brothers here. You put a food embargo on southerners without a qualm of conscience. Where were the brother’s keepers?

See this clown, whose brother?

VAT’s from sales of alcohol?

Northern leaders know the truth deep in their heart, they know that the North is sucking Nigeria dry under this fraudulent system.

Lol DFKM

Knee-down and Beg..!! 😂

U DEY MAD Brothers keeper kee U dia

We are the first in Giftcard and crypto currency trading for everyone that has ever tried us. We understand you have traded with others before and it didn't turn out as you would have hope. Allow us mend the broken heart.

Divide Nigeria now to save lives and talents

We have kept our brothers for too long and it's beginning to affect us. Biko, lett my brother do his part.

Which useless Brothers keeper..

These bastards are nothing without the SOUTH

Jide Sanwolu /jidesanwoolu of Lagos State/ followlasg will Soon Open Seme Land Borders with Benin Republic to Generate VAT. It's Game Over for the Fulani Oligarchs and Britain since Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB is going to IntlCrimCourt for Biafra REFERENDUM.

Never!

E don turn to beg… 😂

You guys haven't seen nothing yet. The seventeen southern states will toll the same line as Rivers state. Let each state own and control the VAT they generate. By this method the northerner govs will know it is time for Uhuru for the south.

These Nothern governors be behaving like slay queens. They just want to relax and be taken kiaroff.

While north are there brothers killers

We are not brothers 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No be only brother’s keeper na sister’s keeper,you see the southerners as second citizens and you even take control of their resources and now that they have the control over their VAT you remember them as your brothers

Let North consider beer in and work hard to develop their state.

Better go and work for your own VAT.. Get to work bro!!

Brother kee you there Brother ko, Brethren ni. Shebi na fellowship una dey so you can start calling ur fellow govs: Brother Wike, Brother Sanwo-olu, Brother Ortom, etc

Hypocrisy is a northerner

I've said it that if every state generate & spend their IGR internally, Kano will not dare to ban sale of alcohol. But hence this injustice of muddling state resources together at the centre for onward sharing among states, that's when you see this hisbah policy of alcohol ban.

I think Northerners were boasting they are better than south even without oil? Boasting with food and like likes, The likes of Adamu Garba and co was advocating for them

No more freeloading, this is why they are afraid of restructuring. Parasitic entities 🙄

Thieves 😂🤣

We are not brothers enough of robbing peter to pay paul

Those that cannot make the state they want to Govern economically viable should have no business being in Government!

Another one of my anointed ministers spitting out nonsense.

Help an undergraduate in need, I'm in deep hunger right now pls. 2216834875 UBA bank. Thanks God bless🙏

Story...I wish some clones in SE parading themselves as governor will emulate from gov wike

So Gombe still exist🤣🤣🤣 so many Nigerian states less or zero contribution to nation yet they enjoy same privileges… no be juju be that

Restructuring creeping in with style. I love this. If the southern governors put aside party politics, together with their senators and reps, restructuring will be so easy to achieve. The poor federal has is given to it by the states and so the states can take back that power.

Ori brothers keeper ti daru... Shey it’s until you kill us all abi...

Brothers keeper and yet you guys are busy killing business opportunities out there. Destroying millions of bottles of alcohol drink and yet your states shares VAT with states that allow sales of alcohol and even take more than the states that generate more funds

🙄🙄🙄... Remind me which brother again...

Ur brothers are in chad, Niger. Not south

Tell that to your sharia governors destroying people livelihood in the name of religion. Mind you almost all the southwest states will generate good VAT that can sustain them, check their consumption data.

The beginning of restructuring as it should be.... You have numbers for voting but not for working to increase your state revenue.... What a joke!!!!

Which brother, we ain’t brothers, brother don’t split brothers blood, we are just business partners in one company called country

Now he's your brother 🤷 Why don't you start by calling Buhari who he is and stop this nepotism and put an end to insecurity then we can call ourselves brothers

I am happy with the new development Wike really changed the game! Now this northerners know it’s game over economically for them. When their traders were stopping food from getting to the south there was no outcry from their respective governors now they’re crying wolf

Oga, hustle and develop your state

Lmao! Only the Northern states are shitting in their pants. Even the Southern states that don't generate enough, know that they can look inwards to catch-up with Lagos & Rivers. But the Northerners, are just parasites and want to reap from where they did not sow.
