Secondly I feel say diz kind of info no suppose drop for bitcoin discussion since dem don create a separate board for politics matter.

Well, e dey admin discretion to know whether make the thread stay here or to carry am go politics. But wetin make me drop am here na as I consider am wetin gambling matter that na why.



This will simply mean that all the gambling companies in Nigeria will be paying their taxes to Lagos State government where their headquarters are located.

I believe the states go know how dem go carry sort dat one out but if we say na head quarter states go dey tax them then what about the states wey dem dey operate on and use their resources like roads, electricity etc. That's why I say na states go know how to take arrange am.

So wetin we see for the matter?

And then, does it mean say federal government hand don comot from taxing game companies...
If federal say them no they handle anything way concern lottery again say eh they hand of the state to handle am the definition of the whole matter simple, eh just be like some business way exist within one state nah just the state govement they take tax for the business them no get business with federal so if this case also wan be like that, if state Nia go handle matter way concern lottery and their customers way be state citizens then the state government go be the one way give them license to operate for that place in the first place so nah them go resolve any dispute way come up Abi no be who give person right and permit to function for somewhere them they call unto when need arises?
This will simply mean that all the gambling companies in Nigeria will be paying their taxes to Lagos State government where their headquarters are located. Nigeria does not have the technology to know how many users of these companies are from one state or the other, what they can only use to tax them is the revenue as reported in their head offices thereby making it impossible for other states to benefit. So Lagos is the biggest beneficiary of this ruling. I don't know if this will pose any risk to the gambler as it might appear like it weakens the law surrounding gambling and related activities. This will indeed open new chapter in the business that will learn how it will operate as time goes on.

I just dey see this ruling now by the supreme court today...

Quote
The apex court, in the lead judgment delivered by Justice Mohammed Idris, held that the National Assembly lacked the powers to legislate on issues relating to lottery and games of chance.

Quote
The court also stated that such powers only reside with the state Houses of Assembly, which possess exclusive jurisdiction over lottery and games of chance.

By my own interpretation now with within them dey talk, e mean say no more national lottery parol again and say federal government don comot hand on top lottery matter, now e don enter state hand to organize or regulate on lottery.

Although I no sabi the gbege wey make the matter enter court in the first place but wetin we think about this lottery judgement. Me I no kukuma know whether that lottery thing still dey active self.

So wetin we see for the matter?
