Lagos State government collect 66% of its income from taxes. If you look around Lagos there is no sign that the citizens benefit from this heavy taxation. No water infrastructure, no electricity, no healthcare, no good schools, no road, no jobs, really their is NOTHING the citizens get for this huge tax burden. The polititians eat well, drink well and send ALL their children abroad while the children of Lagos suffer. The reason why we pay taxes is to develop infrastructure, improve economy and the lives of citizens. It's kind of obvious, isn't it ?
