Toketimt:But you forget all the services that they provide. The roads are tarred. Electricity is constant. You can drive your car for 4 years and it will still run like new. You cant tax people if you provide almost nothing. The govt is simply trying to rip where they have not sown. I consider that stealing. If i import a car and you collect 50% of it back from me in fees, you can as well collect the car from me after and start driving it every other day because you own half the value. 4 Likes |

Bear it in mind that there is no local production in Nigeria which has lead to unemployment, were there is no industries how do u expect local production to increase. This government need to checkmate some policys for possible alternative before implementing it. 1 Like |

idupaul: We can work together and do research on it's alternatives. Maybe we could test dogoyaro leaves and then extract any anti-malaria components it might have. How about that? 1 Like |

malele: Government will always refuse to do the needful, but keep making wrong moves, hoping to see good results. People will simpy struggle to adjust and keep up with the new rates in as much as the alternative to importation remains unachievable just as the govt makes it. A rather more holistic approach will yield better result. Wonder how much input stakeholders and manufacturers had on this? 1 Like |

VictorRomanov: It takes time to get this right , R and D for drug creation down to clinical studies take an average of 15 years .It means for the next 15 year Nigeria will need to import all the base it needs for to produce any antimalarial as it is s 1 Like |

12inches1: Actually I didn't forget but I understand that this is not as a result of this govt making. Expenditures are at all time high and income has gone significantly down. What do u expect them to do? By the way for the second consecutive yr, capital expenditure is going higher, that's a plus. Again they aren't taxing all but the high in the society in form of luxury goods. If u aren't comfortable with the ones they are taxing kindly suggest what they can tax because something just have to be taxed. What u call stealing I call it wisdom for the overall good. |

Toketimt: Are you still searching online for the antimalarial you and you grandfather are making in Nigeria ? You are not even aware of what's going on in your environment and yet you think you can argue on behalf of a bad policy |

Toketimt:How many times have we placed import restrictions and how many times did it work? Has Nigeria improved in spite of the bans and import restrictions over the years? The government is just clueless. The have no proper control over the economy. We provide our own water, fix our roads, generate power, pay for security and still pay tax. What does the government do? Spend the money while complaining that Nigerians don't do enough to assist the economy to grow. Mbok make we kill ourself? |
