From source, the reason for the closing is not tax or any gvt taxation. Is the pump control team that came to onitsha so the stations are closed becuase they don't want to be inspected. What a shame and someone is already putting the blame on Jona. But gvt should act fast, this people are thieves. So they've been cheating us all this while with fake meters.

cjrane:tax that you pay and some so call leader we embezzle it, is that how they do in civilized societies. And do u know there is something call tax return in the civilized society you mention every first month in a every year all tax payer receive certain persentage from the tax they pay the previous year(the biger your tax the biger your tax return) can our leaders do like that the ans is no. Am not say people should not pay tax because all civil and public servant government do deduct tax from there salary before the money goes to each person bank account. |

b1327: [b]If our people pay their taxes, they will begin to hold bad leaders who embezzle government funds responsible. Which is what it should be. The possibility of corruption is not a reason for you to refuse paying your tax. Abroad, people may opt to pay even more than their stipulated tax so that at the end of the year, they can file their taxes papers and show the government that they paid more tax than required and therefore get the difference back. A typical person abroad that makes $2,000 dollars a month will pay about $600 dollars in taxes from that amount.A person in Nigeria earning $2,000 dollars does not pay up to $20 dollars in taxes! Igbo businessmen in Lagos, Kano and other places gladly pay taxes to the host state governments,but will resist paying taxes when they are in Igboland, especially in ONITSHA? The problem with Nigeria and we Igbo is that we want to make all the money, hide it away from the government so that we will pay zero taxes especially when operating in Igboland. Imagine that an elementary school teacher in Anambra pays more taxes than the owner of GUO transport company! What type of nonsense system will allow such anomaly? Yet, our people want good roads, electricity, functioning hospitals and schools? Where will the money come from?[/b] 3 Likes |

Because we had no empirical background and weren't subjected to forced tributaries in the past(majority of Igbo area) our people view taxation with disdain. We need total re-orientation from young age to understand the importance if taxation. 3 Likes |

tochukwuifeduba:It is not true. The filling stations went on solidarity strike after the State Government closed closed down some filling stations who were shortcoming customers by doctoring their meters. In fact, the strike was more or less induced by fear of impending similar clampdown on all the thieving filling station operators in the state courtesy of the new government no-nonsense policy. I'm just coming from Onitsha now and there is a rumour that some stations have resumed selling to the public. 3 Likes |

IPMAN to call off strike as Government Warns Marketers to stop Exploiting Consumers The warning strike embarked upon by the Independent Petroleum Marketers (IPMAN) in Anambra State on Thursday October 23, 2014 is expected to be called off today, Friday October 24, 2014 following the resolution of the immediate concerns raised by the marketers at a meeting held earlier today at the Government House, Awka. However, Anambra State Government has warned the Independent Petroleum Marketers (IPMAN) in the state to ensure that their members desist from exploiting unsuspecting customers with high pump prices and dispensing of products with maladjusted meters at Filling stations. The warning came in the wake of the “Weigh-and-Measure” spot-checks carried out on October 20 and 21, 2014 by members of the Committee on Petroleum at some Filling stations in Awka and environ. Speaking on the outcome of the exercise, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Oil & Gas, Ms Ngozi Okoye said that the exercise became necessary to sanitize the operations in the Petroleum Downstream sector in Anambra State, and further ensure that Ndi Anambra get value for their money whenever they purchase petroleum products. According to Ngozi Okoye, the spot-check was a warning exercise meant to call the operators to order and also remind them of their responsibility to the consumers. She said that “part of the oversight function of the Committee is to ensure that accurate pump prices and meter measurements are complied with by the marketers. The Committee, in the course of the exercise, inspected 22 filling stations and detected various sharp practices and meted out immediate sanctions like sealing-off pumps where necessary to deter further occurrence.” She explained that of the 22 Filling stations inspected, 16 of them had their nozzles seized because their meters reflected unacceptable readings ranging between 20.60 litres and 24.00 litres for a 20 litre measure. The implication of this action is that an unsuspecting customer who innocently paid for 20 liters actually got 16 litres instead, thereby being cheated by 4 litres. The customer has therefore paid more for less. She also confirmed that some unscrupulous operators made attempts to bribe the team in order not to take drastic action against them. These were rebuffed and appropriate sanctions applied. The Senior Special Assistant observed that IPMAN members embarked on a warning strike to protest the spot-checks, amongst other claims. She further stated that as a listening government, the Committee has held meetings with the marketers in order to understand their grievances and resolve the impasse amicably without compromising on the approved and accepted industry standards. She further confirmed that the consultative meeting with the Executive members of IPMAN will be a continuous exercise going forward. http://willieisworking..com/2014/10/ipman-to-call-off-strike-as-government.html#more 2 Likes |
