Any body that thinks ADP,PDP,SDP,NRC would come to power in Lagos state and abandon an easy source of money-property taxes.is either naive or does not know what governance.

Nigerians welcome to the real world of TAXES AND BILLS

Bakynes24:

So tell me how it affects only Igbos? I put it to you again does the law say an increment of LUC for non-Yorubas only. I personally go to the bank every year for the last 4 years to pay my Grandmother's LUC for a 4 flat house in Shogunle. I know how much I pay for the house.The building is valued at 50 million and i pay 35 k every year. It's stupidity saying it's targeted to frustrate Igbos.

Malawian:

Lagos State Government Are the SOLE EVALUATORS of the buildings. We sabi Yoruba way nah.

AryaSand:

and majority of the people in Lekki kukuma dinor always pay the money at all. You need to see Notice on their gates.

madridguy:
This is serious.

fatymore:
I am begging you in the name of what you believe in. Get your pvc and vote Apc out..

LORDOFAFONJAS:
No go better for Tinubu and that useless Buhari

doctokwus:

Didirin

mokt:
I swear down If I don't kill anyone found bringing such things to my house, the person go nearly die. I HATE NIGERIAN POLITICIANS

profosa:
no insult please,we are discussing.

Agreed income is low.but I would say it loud again.NO GOVT WOULD ABANDON EASY TAXES LIKE PROPERTY WHETHER ADP OR ZPP.Lagosians should negotiate a better property valuation and better accountability of the taxes.two wrong do not make a right.pay your fair and reasonable taxes and stop looking for excuses.

If the tax assessment is high object and pay your reasonable share.

Angola is more in a shithole than us but they pay taxes.

oluoni:
I guess its time for Ogun and Oyo states to rise and shine..Ibadan used to be the new York of west Africa during the years of the oyo empire and then Lagos was just a slave depot and a commercial center but I guess Ibadan people went to sleep and woke up to see that they've been dethroned by Lagos.

Bakynes24:

Is there such thing as a Yoruba only Estate. The only places we can say Igbos outnumber Yorubas is the Oshodi/Isolo LGA that's why you guys won the seat of the National and state assemblies.

For the fact you can only see rich Igbo men because you guys like to boast to yourselves when you travel back to your villages in December doesn't mean you guys own majority of the the properties in Lagos. We don't see it as a big deal since we are building on our father land but you guys have made it a lifetime achievement to build a house in Lagos.

I thought they said it’s 0.076% WHY are they calculating it at 0.761% instead of 0.076%? There’s a huge difference na.

How in the world is this house worth N589.3M?

Dee60:


Will you buy that house at 598 million? That is about 1.5 million dollars?

Even in the realest of worlds that will not happen!

FabioPeter:


589,300,000 - 0.4(589,300,000) = N353,580,000

.076% of 353,580,000 = N268,720.80 if its occupied by owner

.76% of 353,580,000 = N 2,687,208.00 if rented

This charge may be considered fair if the money is properly appropriated. in residential areas like this you pay around 10k monthly security, cost of running your gen about 40k/month, water/borehole and other sundry cost all amounting to over N600,000/Annum as against N268,720/Annum.

If the government guarantees good roads, security, electricity and water. this property tax is worth every penny. Communities should engage government via town hall meetings, make their demands and extract government commitment. We got to be pounds wise.


*What I find irrational is the % cost disparity between apartment rented out and that occupied by owner.

AryaSand:

Seconded! Shebi the Governor wants to be mad ni? We can be mad together. I'll cash out and say Bye Bye to Nigeria. Rwanda is calling me.

Reference:
When we said, make sure political opposition is not destroyed, this is one of the reasons, but Nigerians are just too sentimental, too naive, too ignorant to be governed properly. It is no surprise it was so easy for the white man to enslave them in ship loads. Is this not modern day slavery. They believe in Hitler like rhetoric and Stalinist 'strongmanism'. This is the result. The result of totalitarianism. See the battles at the National Assembly without which the same things will have been operating nationwide. But who will the Lagos State house of assembly support....tthe people?....the weak willed, ignorant people?

Lagosians must pay. It the the dividend of their investment in a one party state.

FabioPeter:


You mean it’s a bad idea for a man whose house is valued at 50m to pay 23,000/annum for govt to use to develop his host community?

PrecisionFx:
In all fully developed and developing areas of Lagos, Igbos have more real estate than Yorubas.
