Tinubu's boy is speaking. Ben Akabueze, former Commissioner for Budget and Planning in Lagos. Yet, they say Tinubu wants to Islamize Nigeria. Is it that there is no qualified Yoruba or Muslim that can hold that position before Tinubu nominated Ben Flattino Akabueze as Commissioner for Budget and Planning in Lagos and later handed him over to Buhari as DG Debt Management Office and later DG Budget Office?

Ingrates die miserably

You re the problem we have got here in nigeria . He is working for nigeria and should hold accountable no matter where he came from. All we want is good leadership . You think if peter obi is not good leader igbo people will support him? Give us a good yoruba candidate and bad igbo candidate then u will see that all igbo will support the good yoruba candidate.
check records of 1999 when Ogbonnaya onu steps down for olufalaye because all nigerians agree its yoruba tenure. Because of what happen in June 12 1993. MKO abiola thing.
Stop being follow follow. Think and reason like one who is self developed.

This one is comparing tax to GDP ratio with other countries.
Why didn't he compare per capita GDP?
If the citizens had a higher standard of living, there'll be grounds for them to stand, all I see is just a greedy set of inhuman elements.

Nigeria has some of the cheapest data and call rates in the world.

We also have one of the lowest tax to GDP ratio's in the world.

I think I pay N6k for 50G of data per month, half of which I can't exhaust. A 5% tax will increase the cost to N6,300. I think that's fine.




6k for 50Gig? Which of the MNO offer this?

There is no contradiction.

The Budget Office DG said that the instruction to suspend the collection hasn't been communicated to the Ministry of Finance as it was only seen on the media. So this sensationalist headline is quite unnecessary.

He further said that if the suspension is approved, then they will need to revise the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) which is being reviewed by the National Assembly, as it would mean that the projected revenue for 2023 will drop and that there will be need to either borrow to fund the gap in revenue or they will have to cut down on expenditures.

Personally, I am surprised with the suspension by President Buhari. We need to boost government revenues and taxation is one of the fastest ways to achieving this. Our data in Nigeria is quite cheap compared to other nations of our development category.

We need to fix things fast.

Lol... This is a fast growing industry. More taxes will likely stunt the growth of the industry. Data need to be cheaper to encourage education and productivity of our teeming population. And this is same tax that will be looted.

Tinubu did almost nothing in Lagos, yet you are ran from your village to Lagos. Even when Tinubu's boys Fashola and Aregbesola abducted several of your brethren all over Lagos and Osun and dumped you at Upper Iweka Bridge Head Onitsha at 2:00AM, before 2:10AM, you have all jumped into the next available Mallam Audu's trailer moving Cows to Lagos?


Try get sense. e get y

Why is it that as Yorubas pray to go to Heaven, your parents pray to go to Lagos?

Hey zombie Lagos was once the FCT of Nigeria even far before Tinubu started nurturing an interest to become a politician… this is what many of you zombies fail to remember hence often comparing Lagos state to other states in Nigeria which were never FCT. Lagos housed the seat of power which in the first place brought about the expanse of development you see in Lagos compare to other states.
Just like someone coming out to compare Abuja and other places.

Now coming to lots of things you have in Lagos they where all established by the then military governments and some by the whites back in the days.

Well I dont know when you were born or when you moved to Lagos too but I advice you to ask people older than you are who have been in Lagos dating back from 70’s.

Tinubu only came in and started increasing tax here and there that was the only significant thing Tinubu did in Lagos which was the reason he maximized the almighty IGR which seems as the only thing left for his supporters (People like you who even does not understand what IGR really means) is using to campaign for the sicky old man.

You want the infrastructure and amenities of America and Europe, yet you think paying tax is evil.

How do you think these more developed countries attained their current level - predominantly by everyone paying their taxes.

Wake up. Development is not free.

In Buhari’s government, orders given the leaders over the media and in writing are usually not implemented at the grassroots. Only Buhari’s body language is obeyed.
mumu! This is true democracy at work. When MDA's are given room to express themselves, this is what happens. Not one man speaking from above as if he knows it all and his words are law. Positive disagreement brings about the best result.

They just want to use this naive one as the fall guy..
Now it's no more going to be Pantami and Buhari tax, it's slowly going to be termed Ben Akubueze tax.
Why the Akubueze guy will jump into the fray is what I don't know. Is he a Minister? From Igbokwe, Ngige to this one. They will always make themselves available to be used by their northern ogas
