They are mostly igbos.if you doubt it,stop by a popular holdup like ikeja and confirm for yourself.you keep shouting igbos are the ones moving lagos forward,how?

"The term indirect tax has more than one meaning. In the colloquial sense, an indirect tax (such as sales tax, a specific tax, value added tax (VAT), or goods and services tax (GST)) is a tax collected by an intermediary (such as a retail store) from the person who bears the ultimate economic burden of the tax (such as the consumer). The intermediary later files a tax return and forwards the tax proceeds to government with the return. In this sense, the term indirect tax is contrasted with a direct tax which is collected directly by government from the persons (legal or natural) on which it is imposed. Some commentators have argued that "a direct tax is one that cannot be shifted by the taxpayer to someone else, whereas an indirect tax can be."[1]


Features

1.Indirect taxation is policy often used to generate tax revenue. Indirect tax is so called as it is paid indirectly by the final consumer of goods and services while paying for purchase of goods or for enjoying services.
2.Indirect tax is broadly based since it is applied to everyone in the society whether rich or poor.
3.The tax payer who pays the tax does not bear the burden of tax; the burden is shifted to the ultimate consumers.
4.In the case of a direct tax, the taxpayer has to bear the burden of tax personally; in case of indirect tax the taxpayer and the taxbearer are not the same person.

Investopedia explains 'Indirect Tax'

Indirect taxes can also be defined as fees that are levied equally upon taxpayers, no matter their income. This is a primary reason why they are thought of as taxes that are passed on, as the price of the tax is compensated for by simply increasing the overall price of the good or service

you want more education? word ofadvise...before we talk...lets get informed opinion...pls

boladez: Fashola said anyone who is NOT ready to obey the traffic law should leave the state!....This is not rude in anyway especially as it came as a direct answer to a question and remark put before him, Most firm and good leaders are seen to be arrogant but I don't care about all that but most importantly for the governor to do his work well.

NAIJA! If President sleeps in ASO rock and cannot take any serious decisions without back and forth , we say he is weak , call him Ritadeeen, if Governor refuses to allow Okada's take over his state they call him rude and arrogant. I only blame Fashola's government for not completing the alternatives like rail and water transport systems before enforcing the ban on Okadas on major routes.

ACN is not a party of saints but one thing is certain , PDP cannot move Lagos forward. Unfortunately the ethnic card PDP is playing is only for states with dumb people. Lagos is a state of opinionated and discerning people. HATE ACN all you can but they are still better than a PDP.

I happen to be one of the strong supporters of Fashola and unapologetic about it cos the guy has a focus. Yes we might feel the pain today but I know and indeed convinced that it is for a better tomorrow. PDP should talk to their governors to do half of what Lagos is doing (Though not anywhere near perfect). ...or their don't give a damn president. Leave us with our FAshola who gives a damn. The 2015 elections in Lagos will test ACN's popularity again provided they provide a good product. I would rather mobilise for another GEJ (clueless) in Lagos than ANY PDP candidate....let's go there.

You should not be bothered about Fashola's statement except you are not willing to obey the traffic law. I prefer an eloquent, arrogant , self confident and determined leader than a stubborn thief with low self esteem without plans or vision or sense of responsibility.

This is not a political matter but it is about the well being of Lagosians. Okada's are gone for good on our major roads.....thank God

Then i will vote 4 another party,not pdp or Acn.

GARRI (x7):


It depends on how you look at it.....

iwanchop: They obeyed their govnors when d use of okada was banned in their respective states only to come to Lagos nd protest d partial restriction.Fashola gave a condition for his statement -'if u cant obey Lagos laws'

mbhs139:

I wish you come back to read this post. In as much as I agree to your expalantion about indirect tax and all that, I would not accept them because you used wikipedia. No, I wont take wikipedia. I accept investpodia but no wikipedia. Please look for a better referal and not wikipedia.

I'm quiet sure you know you can't use that for your law school assignment. So, change it. Thanks

seanet01: Ibos did you hear waetin fashola talk, if you cannot stand the heat, please fuc.k off!!!!

GARRI (x7):


IF YOU'RE A LAWYER, THEN YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO YOUR PROFESSION.....

FOOLISH WRITE-UP!!!......

WHO ASK YOU HOW MUCH YOU CHARGE??

SO THE STATE GOVT. SHOULD ALLOW BEGGARS & DESTITUTES LITTER THE STREETS AND KEEP CONSTITUTING A NUISANCE BECAUSE THEY BUY PURE WATER AND INDOMIE... ABI? UR HEAD NOR CORRECT.....

GARRI (x7):


Deportation of beggars to their states of origin is a practical measure in handling the issue. You can't rehabilitate them all. The morality or otherwise of that measure is debatable (just like the DEATH SENTENCE), but the practicality isn't debatable.

If you start rehabilitating ALL the beggars in a place like Lagos, expect trailers full of beggars to start heading to Lagos from all states of the Federation..

In conclusion, I'm of the opinion that all elements who have nothing to contribute to a place, yet keep constituting a nuisance should be DEPORTED..

take dat: PDP who has been in power for 13 years should take the blame cos if they had provided good governance people won't think it necessary to leave other states in search of a better life in Lagos. Lagos state receives allocation just like every other state, if the other states had catered for the welfare of its people Lagos would have had fewer people trooping in on a daily basis. There should be even distribution of wealth all across the federation so that people won't take Lagos as their Nigeria and Fashola as their President

afam4eva:
You guys should stop twisting events. he never sent anyone parking from the state. he only drove non-indigenes from the civil service.

afam4eva: ^^I asked you a simple question and instead of you to answer you're telling me that the FG is doing it too. Does that make it right?

whitecat007: Go and hit your head on the wall, ODE! true lagosians will continue to protect its interest while you Atounrinwas will keep gnashing your teeth in vain. Who asked you not to develop your homeland?

bashr8: that is why governors should work together, if you deport those people to their states they can easily take the next bus or trailer back . if all state governors agree on setting up rehabilitation centers then you can send them to the center in their state of origin rather than dumping them on the express.

PDP vs FASHOLA:Gov is rude to non-Lagosians – PDP

BY DAPO AKINREFON

THE Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has asked the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Raji Fashola to adopt a more diplomatic, civil and honourable manner of addressing residents of the state.

In a statement by its state chairman, Mr. Tunji Shelle, the party berated the governor for threatening non-Lagosians to leave the state or be ready to face his manner of governance.

The party stated that “it is very unbecoming of the state Governor to be quick in asking non- Lagosians to leave Lagos State whenever such persons seek redress or demand their rights as Nigerians.”

It will be recalled that Mr. Fashola had warned that Lagos State traffic law and other laws must be obeyed and that those who are not ready to obey should leave the state.

While faulting the remarks, the party said “we are taken aback to hear a governor, lawyer and indeed Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, threaten or make statements suggestive of ignorance to Nigerians.”


Gov. Fashola

It added that “under no circumstance can anybody, not even the president, deport any Nigerian from any state in the country. The right of a Nigerian to live and not be discriminated against is guaranteed under the constitution of our great country. No law can thus be made to frustrate or erode such guarantee. The Governor ought to know this and remain civil.”

The party, however, called on The Presidency and the National Assembly to call the Lagos State governor to order to respect the “sacrosanct right of every Nigerian to live in any part of the country,” adding the he should be advised against taking steps that can expose Lagosians outside the state to hatred.”
…They are playing ethnic politics – ACN

IN A swift reaction, the state Publicity Secretary of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, said “PDP is playing cheap ethnic politics with the hope that it will wake their dead party from the grave.

“There is no truth whatsoever in the allegation and it is typical of PDP to relish in manuf- acturing and spreading gossips and falsehood about Lagos, hoping they would hoodwink Lagosians with these.”

In addition, he said “For the avoidance of doubts, Governor Fashola is accommodative of non-Lagosians in Lagos and has many of them in his government in high positions. He therefore cannot be threatening non-Lagosians.

“He meets regularly with non Lagosians to interact and rub minds on how to enhance peaceful co existence because he realizes that Lagos is a melting port for every Nigerian and he works to uphold this tenet.

“If Governor Fashola ever warns Lagosians who constitute menace to others, such warnings are within his constitutional powers as the Number One citizen of Lagos State. Such warnings are to all Lagosians and never restricted to non- Lagosians.

Igbokwe continued: “But Lagos PDP, desperate for straws to anchor their miserable political hopes, will go viral and twist these facts with the hope they will con unsuspecting non- Lagosians.

“It is a tragedy that a party that should be advertising its strong performance with power in the centre and majority of Nigerian states is not doing that because PDP has wrecked Nigeria…”
…Pleads with lawyers

LAGOS — Meantime the governor has also emphasised how important it is for lawyers to collaborate with government to provide free legal services for indigent persons living in the state.

Fashola, who was a guest of honour at the Lagos Public Interest Law Partnership Stakeholders’ Meeting in Lagos, noted that without the support of private legal practitioners, the dream of ensuring adequate access to justice by the state government may be unrealistic.

This was coming as the state Attorney General, Mr. Ade Ipaye disclosed that the Lagos Public Interest Law Partnership Stakeholders’ Meeting was aimed at improving access to justice and promoting law and order through the collaborative effort of the ministry of justice and private lawyers practicing in the state.
