i feel its wrong, these people go on instilling fear of the lord in people by making reference to the Bible and Quran urging people to pay, i feel any one who would pay would, do so!

WHATS YOUR SAY

The Govt can use which ever means it's please to ask us to pay our taxes provided it will work! And we need to pay our taxes no matter how it is presented to us.

Iti is Ok if we can all pay our taxes. It is also the duty of the government to compel us citizens to pay taxes. But my grouse is what have they done for the citizens in terms of social contract?

yes, because evn Jesus was used.

Jesus where

In what advert

hmm

It's an advert - whether they use a goat or a cow, the message should be passed to the general public and not to a certain clique.

He said in the bible, give what is ceasar on to ceasar, that became the popular advert for tax payment and a meeting point for the state and the church.

When they stop embezzling the ones they are collecting then they can enforce payment of taxes by any means necessary

I never knew he was a celebrity

the govt needs to first demonstrate to its people how the  taxes would be utilised to change their lot. as it stands, the average nigerian has no faith in the govt (and for good reason too)
I mean if individuals are having to perform the infrastrucutral duties meant for the govt, why would they be willing to pay tax however the msg is put across.

Oh yes my brother Adeboye is a celebrity, no wonder he needs $20 million dollars to buy a private jet, only celebs do that
