Owning a car is not a luxury,it is a necessity.
Sometimes I wonder why the Government of Nigeria do not consider the plight of the common Nigerians who are 90percent of the Nigerian populace.

Why is the federal government not increasing taxes on private Jets-that are mainly owned by corrupt politicians,Pastors and others that have manipulated the system.
It will make sense to discourage people from acquiring Private Jets because it leads to capital flight,money that could have been put into investment to create jobs are sent to other nations...this leads to further depreciation of the naira.

Why is the federal government not increasing taxes on luxury cars-i.e beast,G-class,Range Rovers,Lamboginis and other luxury cars bought with over 20million naira and above-corrupt Pastors,Politicians and criminal business men manipulating the system are those capable of buying such.
Nigerian economy gain nothing from the acquisition of such luxury.

Why is the government not increasing taxes on acquisition of luxury goods and items?
There are a million and one ways this government can make money.
The quickest way to Nigeria's prosperity is by empowering the majority,this will boost the real sector and increase our GDP.

The common man needs just one vehicle to move about,depriving him of this right is a gross injustice...and further shows the insensitivity of these ruling politicians to the plight of the common man.

Scrap and dead vehicles should be rejected at the ports,not clean tokunbo Vehicles that still have lots of mileage to cover.
1.2million naira is a lot of money for an average Nigerian,not every one is enjoying the National cake like you politicians...Nigerians are suffering-we provide our own light,water,housing is expensive because you politicians do not care about building housing estates for the low income citizens and food is expensive-there is nothing much to save after paying all these bills.

Mr President pls this policy will make life harder for us youths trying to come up...we have suffered enough already.

Nigeria has become a dumping ground for crap cars from america and europe.

bombay: Nigeria has become a dumping ground for crap cars from america and europe.

Read my post well,not all tokunbo cars are scrap...scrap should be rejected not clean vehicles,and what happens to recycling?

If you have money to buy a new vehicle,not every one does...why does the poor man have to pay the price for government inability to assemble affordable cars in the country.

We have iron ore,we have rubber-we have wood and leather-we have everything it takes to produce vehicles.
The government should give time,start producing made in Nigerian vehicles,restrict tokunbo vehicles to those not older than 6years and when the made in Nigeria vehicles are cheap enough-implement the ban.

If you have money to buy new cars not everyone does-i know Nigerians are selfish,not surprised by your myopic statement.

.The influx of "TOKUNBO" cars in Nigeria

The importation of fairly used cars into Nigeria's economy have been associated with the endemic global recession and poverty situation of the country. The low standard of these road-abandoned cars have caused numerous auto accidents. Also, it has led to environmental hazards in the country at large. An auto dealer based in Lagos said this is due to the inability of the people to afford new cars, nay low income.

Low income is caused by bad government policies-i.e minimum wage and lack of infrastructure such as electricity and high cost of rent.

Low income is caused by bad government policies-i.e minimum wage and lack of infrastructure such as electricity and high cost of rent for office spaces and accommodation hence most Nigerians spend 90percent of their earnings on food and rent.

Ride on Jonathan. Punish them. Punish the poor very well and hard for voting on sentiments, for voting a dummy as president. Why should poor people buy cars either second hand or fifth hand? Poor people should walk to their destination, afterall the route from Ikorodu to Jibowu in Yaba is a straight path, no corner, no turning, just walk down, no need to stuff themselves like sardines in BRT buses. Even from Breweries in Surulere to Abeokuta is a straight path through Ojuelegba to Oshodi, to Iyana-Ipaja, to Sango and finally to Abeokuta, it is walkable so there is no need to pay fares in cricket commercial buses.

You have banned importation of turkey, rice and fish, poor people shouldn't eat rice, fish or turkey. The price of Ijebu Garri has increased by more than 100% since you became president. So, the poor cannot even eat ordinary Ijebu Garri. Ride on, punish the poor more and more.

Thank you for giving us good statistics like increased GDP, CPI e.t.c. through your minister of finance, the poor masses will start eating statistics and GDP while you use over 1.3 billion naira to eat yearly and feed your animals with millions of naira.

The sad thing is they have ordinary poor Nigerians who will still go out and protest for them,prop them up on internet forums and praise them on the streets like heroes when they pass by.

Politicians are meant to serve us,they work for Nigerians-people within their constituency should demand better service for tax payers money and collective resources that generate these funds who they are custodians of.

Its all in our hands...we Nigerian suffering masses are our own enemies-we are not wise enough to understand that the "People" are the boss and the Governors,Ministers,Senators and all are our servant.
When we fully grasp this,then Nigeria will change.

God position me to solve this problem in Nigeria
