Former Ogun state governor Olusegun Osoba in his arise TV interview yesterday has called for mansions in South east and "many parts" of the country to be taxed.

"This is the way to make money, in London I have a house. I pay council tax...there are many ways state governments can make money...all those of us building mansions, in South east mansions! In many parts of the country. They should be made to pay tenement rates, ...rent."

Did you notice how he raised his hand mentioning southeast in an expression of extreme jealousy and repugnance?

This indicates that he is fueled more by his annoyance with those mansions than by his desire for new revenue window for government.

He should first tax himself and his looting polithievians cronies.

Also ban medical tourism for public office holders.

Ban their children from schooling abroad

Nonsense

Laughable.

So, why singling out SE?

Ofu south-east nkea afushigo anya

Let yoruba miscreants like MC olu come collect the taxes.




Evil people because you can't demolish them like you're doing to buildings of none yorubas in South West.




Any fool that comes to East to talk that will leave with bullet in his bum bum.

All these to suffer the Igbos. Stvvpid fellow

Hehe

Not a bad idea. But the money should be administered by the local government

What nonsense are you talking about? Lagos charges Land Use Charge already. Land use charge or tax is an important revenue method for local government to support development, welfare and policing.

Tenement rates are paid already by these property owners, long throat just wants to finish Osoba. A normal intelligent and wise man would have advocated for an increase in production and exports which can be easily achieved and indeed have greater immediate impact but the clown is obviously more interested in punishing other people for having where to call home far from Sanwo baby's bulldozers. Why is tenement rates the problem of this man ? How has the tenement rates collected in your Ogun State improved infrastructure there ? It's still a shít hole sitting on a goldmine meaning successive governments don't want the state to develop for any reason whatsoever. Focus on Ogun and keep the east out of your mouth oga

Must Yorubas force others in their policy that have kept their people in Ebi npa wa oo.


FG and state should account for other revenue first.






We won't take that in East,We are not yorubas don't ask their politicians questions.



When see government working,we will be willing to pay more taxes.

This man is mad

Rather tax luxurious vehicles.
But, even if fg decide to tax mansions.
It won`t still deter Igbos from building mansions in their villages.
Building owners has spent more than double the normal cost of building due to high cost of building materials

Envy and Jealousy will kill Igbo haters one-day.
Thank God you can't come and demolish our houses in the village.

At least the lousy old Yoruba man believes that there are mansions in South East and brown roof in South West

So the developmental levy and rest they charge here aren't enough? If you want to develop your land here, you must pay developmental levy, to dig borehole or sucker pit, you must pay, and the rest. These ones are not enough, you want them to add more for having a mansion?
