...and Nigerians would gladly pay. Or grudgingly pay...the fact is that must pay...

Can you now see how useless Nigerians are? All the tax you have been paying, all the Nepa bills you have been paying, what do you have to show for it?

Useless people...

U are very right friend..Can u imagine dat wicked muscle head of a governor introducing different tax wit nothing to show for the once we have bin paying,and people will still rush to pay this one.

You can always leave Lagos and go back to your state or village.. where there are no drainage, hawkers on the main road, leave Lagos for us

Good initiative but in a bad ungovernable country and almost lawless state, let's just hope the job gets done after collecting the levy and not just levy collection without doing the job, we pay taxes regularly but our politicians use the money to enrich themselves... God is with us...

three:
The Lagos State is set to introduce a Public Utility Levy (PUL)

Whether tax or no tax, its still a tax. Lagos and tax are like 5 and 6....

gurnam:


Lagos is choked up with daily human migration from all over Nigeria, mostly by non-professionals that can only come to add more burden on the already lean resources.
The population is exploding, with more population, the more increase in crime rates, mostly by those coming from other states.
LAGOS MUST CONTROL THIS UNBRIDLED INFLUX ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

U just spoke my mind. Meanwhile I hope Ogun state govt step up their game in terms of infrastructural development so the overflow from Lagos will not meet her unprepared.

Good initiative,so far they can construct proper drainages and clean them up. But they should not charge an amount low income families won't be able to afford.

What exactly is good about this ? Are we not paying Land use charge already? Are we not paying taxes already ? Are we not paying Lawma fees monthly already ? Please what exactly sure good about this

The quote below is from a similar situation. Recession in the USA in 1982.. be enlightened, saner climes took better alternative. Not everything is a tribal, ethnic or regional comparison.

According to Keynesian economists, a combination of deficit spending and the lowering of interest rates would slowly lead to economic recovery. However, conservatives insist that the significantly lower tax rates caused the recovery. From a high of 10.8% in December 1982, unemployment gradually improved until it fell to 7.2% on Election Day in 1984. Nearly two million people left the unemployment rolls. Inflation fell from 10.3% in 1981 to 3.2% in 1983.Corporate earnings rose by 29% in the July-September quarter of 1983, compared with the same period in 1982. Some of the most dramatic improvements came in industries hardest hit by the recession, such as paper and forest products, rubber, airlines, and the auto industry.

I hope with this little words of mine, i have been able to convince and not confuse you on the need to increase the spending power of the populace

Moving to a cheaper state is the first thing to do. I am even considering AKWA-CROSS ...

You would never know the situation first hand until you break down your payslip according to your needs..

Rent of N500k - 42k monthly
Food of N1k - 31k monthly
Transport N1k - 31k monthly
Phcn - N10k - 10k month
Dstv - N3k - 3k monthly
Clothing - N5k - 5k monthly - starch/detergent/purchase
Miscellenous - N5k - 5k monthly - gift/household items
Security levy - N3k - 3k monthly - security dues
Recharge card - N1500 monthly - no data sub

Total - 131k approx - how many earn 131k/month (note this is for a very regimented lifestyle) - No savings, no car, no auto maintenance... no extra pure water or coke... if you buy beer today, you might not be able to pay rent tomorrow, no amenities (tv,dvd,etc).

Add PUL to it.....

If you are not feeling the heat yet... your parents are

You forgot to add LAWMA bill

so after I pay to drive Tru lekki toll gate, pay land use charge,pay psp,I go still pay for this?Nor problem, nah tenants go hear am.

There you go. . .more tax.
Eventually, only a certain kind of people will be able to live in Lagos.

Mega city status don't come cheap.

There really is no point to have yet another levy... I think 2 simple tax regimes VAT in sales, and tax on income should suffice. This levy is really another tax in disguise that will gradually make the tax situation more complicated than it needs to be, leading to various ways of siphoning off money.

The trouble is, with cheaper state, comes cheaper salary and less job opportunities...

Everything about Lagos is about taxation...at this rate it will be obvious that people who can't pay taxes will have to relocate to other neighbouring states.

Ha, ha, ha, Lagos will soon introduce 'oxygen tax'

ISpiksDaTroof:


So, move to a State with lower taxes why must you stay in Lagos and want to enjoy the limited amenities for free?

plz tell what the amenities are?

bantudra:


start with stoping the igbos from entering lagos....they contribute nothing and make the loudest noise...

You need hate counselling....seems something is about to snap.

So Igbo's are your problem in a country like Nigeria ?

They pay that in USA but it is part of the Water supply bill.
You pay for the water supply they have provided via a meter, amd they add on the waste water and rubbish collection fees which are standard rate for every house. Only the water portion is billed accorging to meter reading like they do with electricity.

But for Lagos to be supplying No water to most of Lagos and forbidding people from digging their own boreholes, it seems rather backward to then be approaching with this which includes waste water management. What water have they provided that they want to be managing the waste water return? Another revenue scheme for looters?
They have not yet mastered electricity supply or Water supply but they are moving in with fees for other forms of supply on top of the failed supply of paid electricity services. People pay for electricity they do not recieve and they are not seeing sense in this scheme to pay for other services they are likely not to recieve.

I beg make dem pay my mama her gratuity since 9years.

Another format to take dey collect the small money wey dey we lagosians hand

Nice analysis
The food, transport, clothing and miscellaneous are even just for an individual, imagine adding for one's wife and children in addition to the children's tuition fees plus Medicals for the whole family

You may pretend not too see it, but it's obvious out there for those with eyes wide open. Lagos is still one of those few states in Nigeria that you still can have some decent nice sleep without the fear of robbers breaking into your room.

This is like the remix of the land use charge.

Draw the lines here, please.

Now, there are Nigerians and there are Lagosians

Lagos is different from Nigeria...Nigeria is ruled by bubu while Lagos president is Ambor oo

Some low income families too have houses Now. Poor man too dey struggle build one room and parlour house.
