Reformed Tax System In A Structured Nigeria - Akin Fapohunda

[@TruthSeeker19908]

The type of people that need to be interviewed on regular basis. This guy is very honest and not afraid to tell it like it is…

[@jazzieade]

You are 100 % right. Nigeria is treading on the towards penury. If we don't change with a new reform we will divide and fall. Let's go back to the system of the 3 regions, that would work perfectly, I have never been to fan of the parliamentary system both the Senate and Representatives, they are all their for their selfish reasons and it's to make MONEY & to do what he can for his tribal people, I did not say Tribe, because even emptying your tribe does not mean money given to them to electrify, build roads, water etc would not be used for that purposes but will be used for their own self. Here in England if you go in to the Nigerian Embassy, what you see is everything that's wrong with the country, those employed there are not there for the benefit of the embassy or the citizens, they are there to milk any opportunities that come their way. Nigeria is best going back to the Nigeria of the 70's. Now we need that system if we want the Country to survive, why has the Northerners been the leaders of the Country for so long when they are the least educated citizens, there strangle hold on the armed forces is their hope cos they know that can be called upon, Arise o Conpatriots.. About time NIGERIA goes back to the way it was. That's my take on things in the Country now.

[@geraldudeaba6085]

As he the man goes out he will be blessed, and as he returned he will be blessed. Why should we be going to churches and mosques every Sunday and Friday but can't be this bold like this man to say the truth. May God Almighty bless him.

[@Sabrerattler007]

May God bless this Yoruba man! Naija, now you see, not all Yorubas are the same after listening to this man that does not pretend. Wole Soyinka used to be like this man. But somewhere along the line, Soyinka lost his soul to tribalism. Please, AriseTV, bring people like this true and fine Nigerian, Dr Fapohunda, to your show. He made my week!!!

[@aniokeogochukwu9994]

This man proposed a dubious regional government trying to curve out gas rich communities of imo state that has the largest gas reserve in Africa and second highest gas reserve in the world to South South particularly ijaws territory not even Igbo territory in Rivers state

[@renaissancetv6151]

Where is your prove. Table shaker!​@@aniokeogochukwu9994

[@dzemuus]

Soyinka used to be like this man untill he was led to become the professor of rice, beans and pans.

[@olusolaadesina4623]

Mine too

[@tescobar2001]

Watch what u say, don't disrespect Prof Wole shoyinka because u do not know what he represented. Tinubu aim @ achieving the same goal but in a more friendly manner. There several way to skinned a cow.

[@JessesonTestimony]

This man is sound and realistic in his submission. This is the kind of interviewee that should be brought on on regular basis. Simply speaking truth to power. I love this man.

[@olusolaadesina4623]

Even all the fulanis almajiris in the North will hear and understand him loud and clear

[@mwsschool]

This man is been fair in his talk I am a northerner

[@ashefaksmen131]

Oga, I doff my hat to you sir. Brilliant, on-point and practical solutions provided.

[@harmonykalu7074]

This elder statesman is dishing raw truth. Truth is always bitter to the ears.

[@egbebestamengialue7143]

This man has put a knife on the rope that holds Nigeria down for years. May God bless you.

[@uwauhumuavbi5739]

A brilliant articulate perspective. This is obviously the way forward for Nigeria. The current wasteful hydra headed system is not helping us. Thanks doctor.

[@nworiejoseph]

Truth be told this man is of the reality school of thought. Do exactly what he is proposing and Nigeria will be viable again. He's a realist

[@chineduonuoha3855]

Validated

[@zillamakilla8775]

Unless west unite with the East, Nigeria would soon be a goner. Unfortunately the West keeps playing double standard.

[@zillamakilla8775]

A region where a sizeable population of its youths still fancy jihad, more than 500 years after wars of crusade; yet youths in progressive places are about to visit planet Mars.

When Nigeria's brightest minds and wisest voices speak, the world has no choice but to listen. Thank you sir.

[@rickyifo4380]

This Doctor have really said the minds of many Nigeria southerners and few Northerners that are civilized.The earlier we stop pretending the better for Nigeria.

[@CollinsEnuwe]

What a great Nigerian. We must think fast in the right direction.

[@SmartC.Amaefula]

Give this man a gold award. He spoke the raw truth. These journalists always like to sound like good boys. We all know in practical terms that Nigeria is not united. Also, the NASS is considering regional government so why is this journalist trying to make this man look like he is plotting a coup’s

[@JMax7890]

This is the most candid man I have listen to for a long time ....let say it the way it is ...and move forward

[@olusolaadesina4623]

[@favourchukwu7838]

I like truth and this man has bristled my heart.

[@solaadesua1141]

Dr. Fapohunda, May God Almighty bless you. You are bold speaking to the nation the truth. Aso Rock must be rendered powerless while power giving to the regions. We need regional restructuring now.

[@Tade734]

This man makes me proud to be a Yoruba man..this is how a leader should sound, why should we be afraid of speaking the truth? why the so called Yorubas leaders and other representative from the souths cant speaks boldly about the North and call a spade a spade for God sake.. God bless this man

[@SAMSAM-ne7vv]

It appears they're playing politics with people's future... All for political relevance !

[@Tade734]

@SAMSAM-ne7vv but this man right here doesn't hold any political position ..correct me if I'm wrong

[@usamamusa3160]

he just basically insulted a region called them lazy , disorganized ,uncivilized, illiterate . and a liability . I mean will you as a Yoruba be happy when someone said Yoruba are the largest participant in the trans Atlantic slave trade across Africa , capturing other tribes and selling them to Europeans , sometimes giving away three people in exchange for one horse.(and by the way I am a southerner(south south) living in north and unlike you, northerners are more welcoming and tolerant and videos like this makes me ashamed of being a southerner. )

[@Tade734]

@usamamusa3160 they have called Yorubas all sort of names too heaven didn't fall, truth be told did he lie ? For how long we would continue to dance to the Northerners tone ? Saying Northerners are more tolerant it's a pure lies say that to those destroying other businesses because of Sharia, in anyway you're allowed to make yourself happy , video like this makes proud of being a southerner , you're not a southerner if you're you will support the notion of the man that everyone must say in their lanes, regional govt is the way or else everyone should goes their separate ways , we ain't the same ..ciao ..

[@samuelakinola6922]

​@usamamusa3160 if you're truly from S.south you better go back home before they will do to you what was done to Deborah

[@true-talktv872]

The best way to go. this man have said it all, every state should go on their own........

[@princeeade7227]

We are in January, though. But from the bottom of my heart, I will say this is my MAN OF THE YEAR 2025. He speaks nothing but the real TRUTH. Southern and Northerners parts of Nigeria have nothing in common, they are still dwelling in 17th century Arabian laws, while south are moving to digital age. For peace and progress to reign, let every region develop itself.

[@spider8760]

Very blunt and very apt in his submission. Nigeria is divided and cant grow with the present system

[@Kantz1]

Nigeria has never been once united. We just keep deceiving ourselves. There has always been a divergence of ideologies and no ideology wants to bow to the other. So like Fapohunda said, let everybody take his ideology back to his father's backyard and Nigeria's temperature will cool down. I support the regional movement he mentioned.

[@isaiahusman]

He is so accurate. Take care of the waste... the waste in Govt is too much

[@gcsdnhumanrights-charityor5375]

This is one of the best guests on AriseTV that I have listened to for a long time. Nothing more to add. Very impressive.

[@losuoha]

This is about the most brutally honest response from a Nigerian in matters of National importance that I have ever seen. Bitter truths, but we know how the North hates the truth.

[@celestialchurch6445]

Dr Fapounda thank you for being so bold on the truth. Remain blessed in the new year.

[@DicksonRoxy]

I think many people don’t realize that the north can develop faster on its own. However, our elites and elders are holding us to all this insults which is painfully true.

[@chillsproject4530]

We know they can develop and they have the capacity. They just need to pick up this challenge and make Africa proud

[@olusinaogunlesi1016]

Absolutely, the North has a lot of potentials but their elites are just a lazy set of people without vision

[@Kantz1]

People keep forgetting their history. They call everything "North" but its not. This is the only region in Nigeria that the indigenes are being held hostage and ruled by foreigners--the Fulani. The Fulani have held the Kanuri, the Nupe, the Hausa etc down, dominated them, changed their religion and culture and now they are the rulers everywhere. Emirs here, Emirs there and they don't allow the people or the region to develop. They hold the monopoly to the funds in the entire region and it is the majority of the indigenes that are almajiris--facing no development. The majority of the educated "Northerners" today are the Fulani. They are the so-called "Northern Elites". That is the real reason no other region is as backward in Nigeria.

[@paschaluzoma5028]

Apt and truth well spoken. This Yoruba man will live to see the new Nigeria .amen

[@KingsleyTochukwu-eo4yr]

this man is really speaking from his inner mind on vital issues

[@stanleyigboko2599]

The best interview so far. Frank talk,and sincerity best of all.

[@Geeconcept1]

Honestly, this man hit the nail on the head but it's quite unfortunate that those that benefits from the crooked system will not like to hear this but this is just the truth. May God bless your days Mr Faukponda for saying the truth. Let's stop pretending, we are not just one and until we are bold enough to call a spade, a spade, we can never move forward.

[@true-talktv872]

North never like the truth

[@vocallocal7824]

This man is spitting raw truth.

[@Unclechosen_Tv]

Fapuhunda is on point. He is sincere with the state of the nation.

[@sammesamme-nlar2829]

As a Cameroonian I love ❤️ listening to this man whenever he is invited in the show. He says the most realistic and rational thing about Nigeria 🇳🇬 😂. Nigeria 🇳🇬 needs to be disbanded in the current state and either move to a confederation or federation system with even other African countries in the union. Cameroon 🇨🇲 has this same problem with its regions of north-south, anglophone-francophone 😂😂😂

[@modrikisadopted6337]

Surprised to know. Are the Fulanis ruling you there too?

[@Iphie24]

The whole truth and nothing but the truth.

[@bobmanuelecheonwu2271]

Such mix of honesty and intelligence is a rarity in present day Nigeria. Kudos to you Dr. Fapohunda. You earned your PhD. Not all those that were awarded honourary doctorates but will not let us hear word.

[@renaissancetv6151]

The man spoke well. He knows what he's talking about. He has also done his home work well.

[@LekanFaromika]

A very valuable contribution. I am in full support of the restructuring of the country into viable regions and subregions. Excellent and brilliant ideas. Unfortunately, I see a President who is fascinated by power and who may not be well-disposed to devolution by any means.

Better wake up.

[@chillsproject4530]

Lolzzzzzzzz. Sounds like We are not lying down but we are sleeping

[@adeniyithompson4632]

@ADE-of-LAGOS I guess it all turns on the use of the word divided. You can only divide a whole. However, the word is often misused to describe a situation where there was never any unity.

[@sundayhezekiah5002]

Your perspective is even making the doctor's message compellingly understandable!. Our difference is the pointer to what is feasible and what should be our priority i.e urgent fundamental restructuring failing which we should go our different ways.

[@amotoadaaja4828]

Out of everything this man has said what I respect the most is when he said Regions should be based on Common interest. Who made it a law that if Nigeria revert to regionalism it most be thesame as the old regions or the present 6 zones or that the regions must be the same size of land and population.

[@harmonykalu7074]

Tinubu knows that the Yorubas, will be badly dealt with by the Fulanis should leave them in Nigeria after his tenure. The best gift he can give to everybody is to divide Nigeria and let the components go their separate ways and become good neighbors as this man has rightly said. This man made my day. What a brilliant mind!!?

[@babbiesolomi7964]

[@FlagWaverFlagBearer]

​@@shd94 I dont get what does that have to do with what he said?

[@sundayhezekiah5002]

Whereas the Fulani Caliphate is the heart and soul of the north traditionally, politically, economically and in everything else. Since the beginning of the 19th century, they've ingeniously used Islamic religious tactics to hijack and dominate every segment of the region. Therefore whenever you're talking of the north, you're essentially talking about the Fulani caliphate. The dominance is so deep that no significant position, project or program can be established and or sustained in that region without the consent and approval of the caliphate.

[@EvilcrusherOsas]

@sundayhezekiah5002 You are very correct and that's why they are feeling a sense of entittlement to power. Am happy President Tinubu is gradually making them irrellevant and above all, the Hausas are gradually waking up from their slumber.

[@ray-df8bq]

In 1967 this was what people went to Aburi to discuss. We have realized we can't be one, so let's discuss how to exist separately but still be allies. Eventually the Aburi accord was dishonored and a war began. Millions of Easterners paid the ultimate price. Many were displaced that till today nobody knows how they went. And then decades after, Nnamdi Kanu came out and started saying the truth about this so called oneness. Today he's languishing in prison and many are happy. I'll advice that Easterners remove their hand and be watching the Presidency handle their matter with the North. Anyhow it comes out we will see it. Because we have spoken out for too long.
