My comments: 1. N5trillion is about $33billion, about 8% of the value of Apple. It's chicken change, really, for a country of 160-odd million people. 2. There is need for the Federal Government to explain to us the rationale for further borrowing when its revenue targets are being exceeded. 3. If the FG can raise such monies from taxes, what are the states doing? 4. The government should extend the tax net to cover "luxury" items such as private jets, yachts, mansions and other items of ostentation purchased by the elites. There's no reason we shouldn't slam a 40% tax rate on private jet purchases by our politicians, businessmen and pastors, for instance. 5. Specific proportions of these funds should be set aside for infrastructure and savings for the future. I expect such excess revenues to be transferred to the Sovereign Wealth Fund to ensure that something is left for our children. |

Lankaline: How does this one concern me!!,,? It should concern you because taxes are a source of revenue for government. If our country is earning money from taxes and oil. It means more source of income and more money. More money should translate to more provision of social infrastructure and basis amenities. More social infrastructures would give rise to increased economic growth and better living for Nigerians. Also, we will could get our real sectors to be productive - that's is multiple incomes and more money at the disposal of government to provide the basic needs of nigeria. However, if these monies are stolen, it would only enrich the thief and the cycle is broken. I hope you understand now. 3 Likes |

HNosegbe: My comments: Thank you my brother. We need explanation on how these tax revenues would be utilized. Some economies in the world survive only with taxes. Nigeria can do better, we just have porous tax system. God has blessed this country. I strongly believe if we have a good structured government we can grow at a rate that will baffle the world in just 5 years. |

This is a prolific attestation to my premise that nigeria has a fast rising middle class and a growing industial sector, no matter what any simpleton or skeptic says, this country is on an upward trijectory..all that is left now is to fix our power sector and create a stable environment for investors who need virgin lands like ours to invest and make sure that all this new revenue is put into good use like creating a safety net for the poor and make sure more rise into the middle class. 2 Likes |
