I have come across several cases in which host communities to multinational companies request them to develop several areas of their communities from road construction to water provisioning for her people. Well, in the South-south part of Nigeria, that's pretty prevalent as host community leaders request such from multinational oil firms. However, what do you think when the host communities request that members of the community should be employed as part of the workers for the project? How about when they request that the contract for such construction should be wholly given to the host communities?

Is It that these communities are being greedy or they may actually be being intelligent economists? Note that with their people being employed or the contract being awarded to them, the host community does not only enjoy better infrastructure but the people also get richer and enjoy a better welfare.

I seek nairalanders opinion for my research.

It's the social responsibility of Companies to develop the communities in which they reside.

they are stoopid

they don't owe shitt after saying taxes

Federal Government taxes them, state Government taxes them and when you add the Local Government ridiculous levies and their methods of extorting and exploiting Companies to get them is actually too much. Local Government levies should be stopped. State Government should be restricted to PAYE on companies. Only the FIRS should be involved with taxing companies profits, capital gains, Directors remuneration s, Dividends

Hmmm. I used to think they were being greedy, but from an economic stand point, asking for employment or funds to develop such infrastructure themselves may just be good for the host communities prosperity
