the kind of corruption under buhari is massive. it would take the nex government to uncover them
Honestly, the next government and indeed Nigerians would be astonished out of their minds at the perversive rot.

I just hope it is not a rubber stamp successor.

The National Assembly Joint Committee has raised concern over Federal Inland Revenue Service’s (FIRS) 2019 projected estimate of non-oil revenue tax collection of N146.54 billion.

The co-chairman of the committee, John Enoh, and other members of the committee raised the concern at FIRS’s budget defence in Abuja on Monday.

The committee sought to know why the 2018 approved estimate was N153.85 billion, while the 2019 projected cost stood at N146.54, amounting to 4.75 per cent decrease.

On personnel cost, the committee asked why the service was proposing 14.6 per cent increase in number of staff from 7, 854 in 2018 to 9000 staff in 2019.

It equally demanded explanation for the “proposed N160 million meant to sew drivers’ uniforms, N825 million for refreshment and security vote of N250 million among others.”

The Executive Chairman of FIRS, Tunde Fowler while presenting the budget proposal, noted that the proposed increase in staff strength was due to recruitment of staff scheduled in 2019.

He further explained that N160 million was earmarked to sew uniforms for the 850 drivers of the service as part of effort to make them fit properly into the structure.

That means each driver’s uniform will cost over N188,000.

Also, Mr Fowler said the amount earmarked for security vote was meant to attend to some security issues, particularly those not receipted for.

“The achievement of 2019 budget will be driven by increase oil and non-oil revenue tax collection.

“The service in realisation of this responsibility and challenges of doing manual collection will continue to implement automated tax collection for the critical sectors of the economy notably telecommunications, airlines and financial institutions.

“The deployment of these platforms is at no cost to the service and the consultants will only be rewarded on increased revenue generation.

“There will be increased enforcement activities nationwide to bring more tax payers into the tax net and increase compliance level,’’ Mr Fowler said.

Hahahahahaah Yahoo yahoo nation, in other country Revenue collector department, Immigration, Custom remitted millions of dollars to governments account after they deduct expenses done. Ghana government is example. And in Nigeria government includes revenue department in budget where a revenue department driver uniform cost $500 per each driver, and their refreshment cost $3,000. now how much will be this drivers salary. please can the department employ me to work as car washer i know my uniform will be less than $150 but i can manage and my refreshment $500 i can manage too. everything about Nigeria is fraud including the president and his chief justice that change his birth date

If tinubu mistakenly becomes president, he would make atiku look like a learner.
See how much money his boys are wasting and embezzling.

Due to highly inflated projects, our national debt would be similar to western Europe.

let nigerians and beloved nairalanders wait upon the sordid response from the degenerated BMC or whatever they call him the vulture BBQ miscreant... He must tell us how his father or mum once sewed a uniform per piece for 188k...

Or perhaps he will tell us how PDP once had theirs for 500k whereas they came to abolish such fuckery but the truth is they are thieves and can't resist the Treasury either... Infact the cravings for the Treasury was the bane for all the coalitions to unseat the then government... Just like shaggy said... Stealing is motivated by greed...


They are all thieves the only difference in them is the driving force and incubation period.. Some are already matured enough now going to the next level to continue the higher scale looting...

Only in Nigeria the Government and staffs submit the same budget repeatedly in constant figures /quotations as it were year in year out or give u a bizarre shocker increase with frivolous excuses... And ofcourse they replace cabinets and appliances also but will never think if the masses also can afford or should be availed such ridiculous fuckery...


Bottomline is, stop listening to this guys and swallow their crap.. When they come, tell them to either make sense or shut up.. And perhaps if can't be compromised u could teach them a lesson at polls.. The only problem is u all av ur prices... Some greed induced price tag, poverty, ignorance, bigotry, tribalism, sheer envy &hatred, quest for unnecessary power..or you might possess all of the above..

We don’t have sense in this country. With our struggling economy which we keep acting oblivious to and the low and unpredictable oil prices we are increasing budget for frivolous reasons. Wonderful
