Everybody is shouting and cursing Nigeria government,
If Nigeria ask you for tax now you will start to hide , don't
Be jealous of those that tax when they receive some like this

DexterousOne:


Answer this two questions

1) Is Nigeria rich enough to support the profligacy of the national assembly?

2)Is Nigeria rich enough to support the lifestyle of wasteful political appointees and the executive?

The answer is NO

You see where you get it wrong

If Nigeria is a poor country as you all are saying

Let it reflect from the spending pattern from the top all the way down

There is NO EXCUSE whatsoever for the govt not giving a comprehensive bailout to people no matter how small while at the same time servicing the lush lifestyle of criminals in Abuja (the green chamber got sharp nee cars for themselves, people who already have a retinue of cars at home)
You see mad country?

Thank u for telling them ,half of my salary in Europe goes to rent,I have got to pay bills which I have signed a contract to pay monthly.some folks even said they gave everybody in Europe money for corona.i don't know where they got that from.i didn't get any food at my door .I only know govt help only those who lost their jobs or affected and not everybody.a tiny percent.when u are working some taxes are deducted from your earning.it is called unployment tax,when u lose your job.u get the money back.this is what this people get ,tax payers money .I pray Nigerians get to that level.it is highly misleading to just display paycheck without explanations what the money is meant for .

Canada giving out $2,000 per month is equivalent to Nigeria giving out 15,000 Naira per month.

Average house rent in Canada for one bedroom is $1000 per month (including utilities, minus internet and electricity). Tax is collecting between $500 and $1000 from that $2000. What’s left? This thread is just misleading.

DEADALIVE:

Tax has nothing to do with a working system....If a system is working and laws are strictly obeyed nobody will want to evade tax...mind you nobody loves paying tax even the devloped countries that is why you see celebrities who innocently evaded tax still get punished once revealed.
So if you look at south Africa their system is working in few areas only where blacks are majority you get to see violence multiple times why they want everything free.
Black man black heart.

TruthinAction:
Nigeria money is only meant for a few thieves. This country is very rich but our polithiefians loot our monies. Even the revenue we generate is more than ten times what they declare. Over 80% goes to private pocket. This will be confirmed the day we have an honest President.

gotnel:
The consequence of the Canadians people actions is what they are actually reaping.
The problem with us here in Nigeria is that both the government and the people are problematic.
No miracle is happening in Canada.
People pay taxes as an when due. Government officials carried out their responsibility accordingly.
There are many reasons why their success stories is palatable.

Here in Nigeria, we are all cutting corners in every way.
Government officials are rogues.
The man on the street is a major rogues than the man in government.
Everything about us here is for cheating.
We are all to blame in this country.

Olusheyi1:

Well, nobody should put the blame of the failure of this country on me. Maybe on someone else. But not me. I will confidently put 95% of the blame on the government and the remaining 5% on the voters who blindly vote in times of elections.
If I may ask, who's to maintain law and order? Is it me? Or is maintenance of law and order all about pursuing thieves and Boko Haram up and down?

Leave human being in any country to do what they like, everyone can never go the same way of obeying the law without being guided or forced no matter how little. Even God as mighty as He is, realises that the heart of man is desperately evil(not differentiating white man from black man). As a matter of fact, government exists to regulate all human's affairs and our own government really seems not to care about that.

Talking about tax payment, I've been working since at least 2015 and would always hear that tax was removed from my salary on a monthly basis, yet, no tax card or number till date! You mean I should go and query the HR of all the companies to ensure they remit the tax?

Our government is yet to do enough almost at every level to get things working properly and so how do you blame a common man for that?
When almost all the processes of tax payment are done with almost paper and pencil and almost on a monthly basis(especially for businesses) not to even mention the unavailability of infrastructure that ought to bridge the gap for the tax payment. The same government wants tax and electricity that companies can hardly do without is being left aside by same government.

I am even very sure that if we were paying tax like people in foreign countries, the case might be that Companies would be taking loans to finance their operations since infrastructures are not visible. Common portable water is not in many places.

Later they'll say we don't pay enough tax like people in other countries and that's why there's never been enough fund to fix the myriad of infrastructural deficits all over the nation! What about all loans? Why not take new loans(even if the old ones have been swallowed by snakes or rats abi rodents...whatever) to fix many of them and take tax and other revenue generating sources to repay gradually?

What about the recent popular burial attended by many of those that have locked us down at home for almost a month and nothing has been done to them? Is it still Nigerians' evil nature?
Or is it me that said cash palliative should be taken to North when lockdown was/is in Lagos, Ogun and Abuja? Or what could I have done to avert that? I even remember Osun State governor saying about three weeks ago or so at one of the COVID-19 briefings(while answering a question from a journalist who asked about how the cash relief would get to his parents in his village) saying that people in villages shouldn't expect palliative since they could still go to their farms simply because lockdown isn't affecting them.

Small time again they'll say oh, federal government had given Lagos State government #10billion! How has that reached individual Lagosians pocket to cater for lockdown effects...or was that fund given to the state government to share to its inhabitants?

When someone is not doing good, it's good to say it as it is. Our government is doing poorly and that's it. Enough of all this you pay tax, you don't pay tax gimmicks.

Especially in this Covid19 era, they're not trying at all on palliative matter.

Hmm

Canada's budget this year is $355 billion for 24 million people.

Nigeria's budget this year is $26 billion for 200 million people.

And you expect Nigeria to give palliative of N626000 naira per person or per family?

Nigeria is a mess, but we are not up to Canada's level. Vote for governments who would make us an industrial nation, then we can talk.

To all those people cursing Nigeria up-thread...yes, we have had corrupt governments. But there is no way our government can afford to give stimulus of N626,000 naira to everyone. Not on our budget,without taking even more mega loans.

Modified

Even giving 100million Nigerians N50000 each a month would involve spending the equivalent of our budget for the year in one month.($26 Billion)
