So OP, You cannot see that your Uncle is an Onigbese. He has been dodging the Ground rent forming Mr landlord. Now his sins have caught up with him. He has owed the govt since 1999 but you couldn't read to see where that was written. Just jumped into conclusion like someone smoking grass. Continue blaming the Govt and not your uncle for dodging his own share of his responsibilities. Coming to Nl to make noise over your uncles irregularities. see him mouth 2 Likes

thedondada:you are actually the dumb one. its because Nigeria doesn't enforce strict compliance with tax. Or don't you know that all lands in this country rest under the power of the state Governor where the land is located. You are nothing but a tenant even with your C/O. In saner climes, he could even be on his way to jail for dodging his property tax over these years |

LordAdam16: You mean your idea of restructuring? I support restructuring based on States and yes.. I am entitled to my own opinion. I am not scaring any one, in any case restructuring has become inevitable all I am saying is : restructuring just like democracy is not a magic wand that solves all our problems, If restructuring must work then our mind set must change. You can't be tax averse and yet scream restructuring, it does not work that way, the oil that was fueling the irresponsible. behaviour of looking to FG for everything is depleting and every Nigerian must go back to the time tested method of paying tax to government and ensure that they monitor the government to ensure that the revenue earned is judiciously expended. Nothing scary in that? or is there? 1 Like |

Where is the special form for Igbos? A special property tax form for Igbos will be part of the restructuring. |

chukzyfcbb: In saner climes, he wouldn't have to dodge his property tax, because there'd be absolutely no reason to. In the US, the government uses property taxes to fund public schools. And as a citizen you can easily find out how much was tax was generated and how much was spent per school district. In fact, during the elections, some states (Oklahoma and Washington for example) even put in on ballot for residents to vote if they would agree to a marginal increase in tax so they can pay teachers more. As such owing property tax isn't just civil irresponsibility but evil, because it would affect your child or child of your neighbor (if you dig private schools) going to quality public schools. Nigeria is a sh*thole, because no one knows where that tax would end up. So don't bring that saner climes nonsense to this place. The government knows why they don't enforce strict tax compliance with citizens (but do with companies), because they know at some point it'd be counter-productive for them as citizens get fed up and revolt because they are overpaying without accountability. That's why they're doing things in piecemeal fashion. -Lord |

huptin: You can't expect people's mindset to change when the status quo remains the same. People would pay taxes when the system works. Nigerians are living abroad in working countries and paying taxes. You don't expect ppl to overpay for electricity, source for water themselves, pay for their security (civil defense), ply unsafe roads, survive without regular salaries, and then tell them to change their mindset. That's an insult. Change your ways and they'll change their mindset. It's simple reciprocity. Because it is far easier for the government to change their ways. Far easier. You were talking about paying the price of restructuring, like increasing taxes was only going to happen under restructuring. Which is scary. And I'm saying, restructure or not, taxes will increase and compliance will become stricter. So, it's better to restructure so you can better monitor and demand accountability, than stay in a centrist, non-restructured, wasteful Nigeria where you wouldn't be able to monitor or demand accountability. |

huptin: I totally support increased state taxes. It will produce greater revenue as well as make people more willing to hold their state excos to account but in a restructured Nigeria, there will be no indigene/settler dichotomy in tax. The constitution outlaws discrimination. |

Re: See The New Outrageous Kano State Property Tax (pics) by TundeHashim(m): 9:41am On Oct 09, 2017 |
EazyMoh:Bro, I'll advice you go to Kano Inland Revenue Service to lodge a complain and ask them how they arrived at such bogus amount. If u find their explanations unsatisfactory, apply to their Tax Appeal tribunal or the state high court. The reason for this is that if you don't complain and take actions now, they may come up with a more ridiculous amount next year and the year after it ad infinitum...The way state governments are taxing people currently ehn, you'll think there's no tomorrow. 1 Like |

@embolden ...you may have a point there but his uncle signed and attest to the documents granting him the landed property from the state government to pay all these charges and others which will be introduced as time goes by ....until he is able to repudiate that, I don't see a case here. BTW see the list of approved taxes from the Joint Tax Board [url]http://www.jtb.gov.ng/sites/default/files/GAZETTE0001%20%281%29%20%281%29.pdf[/url] Pennywise: |

LordAdam16: Well this is like '' the egg vs hen" debate, which needs to come first? A change in people's mentality or a change in Government thinking? While it is might look easier for the government to change its ways rather than the people to change their mentality, pray tell me how many governments worldwide have brought change to their people without being forced by the same people. Even this democracy we have, did the military willingly gave up power? The people are the engine of change, has it not been said that the people gets the government they deserve? 1 Like |

LordAdam16:Thanks Lord for your contribution. The property isn't even rented. It's a six bedroom flat with 2 Bqs. Less than 10 people live on the property. The only thing is the location and the size of the land, about 2000sqm. |

Maduawuchukwu:I believe with loss of allocation from federal government sourced from oil producing areas, other regions would have to exploit what they have including taxing non-indegines. For example the main benefit for Kano state in Nigeria is oil money, that of Anambra is vast market for her citizens to exploit. So definitely there's gonna be indigene-settler dichotomy just like in the first republic. If citizens can be deported today from one state to another despite its illegality, what more for a restructured Nigeria with autonomous regional governments. 1 Like |

huptin: The answer to your question is every democratic nation in North America and Europe. Or would you tell me it's the Chinese people that forced the Communist government to change their economic policy also? To whom much is given, much is expected. Do the people have to hold the government accountable? Yes. Can Nigerians hold the government accountable with the current structure? No. That's the core reason for restructuring. Are the people in government id**ts? Do they remain in power forever? Wouldn't they become citizens afterwards? If a revolt happens wouldn't their heads be on the chopping block? Why then is it that they have to be forced to improve the conditions of living before they do so? Or don't they learn from history. There is no perfect government on the planet. But all the right-thinking ones know the best way to stay in control is to make things work. I assure you that if only half the money entering the government's coffers is being judiciously spent, Nigerians would be a whole lot less tax-averse. If the government wants more taxes, they should improve. If they don't want to, they can go f**k themselves until the sh*t they're doing blows back on them. -Lord |
