Can anyone here mention anyone he/she knows that got any part of the $300m abacha loot that buhari shared the poor

Honestly, this is one issue that gives great concern but surprisingly, Nigerians are turning a deaf ear to it. This $300m issue is a great lie to the face of Nigerians like a hot slap is to the cheeks. It's a broad daylight robbery greatly promoted & supported by our deceptive pastor cum professor of a vice president. Dem just chop $300m ( ₦108,000,000,000) clean mouth, no Nigerian fit talk like say dem use jazz cover over mouth. Na waoh! fear naija politicians. Democracy is not good for Africans. We shouldn't import a western theory and expect it to work perfectly same way it works in the Europe & America because we are a different race with a different attitude, cultural belongings, religious practices that influence our behaviours. Africans were not in the picture of democratic theory when it was thought-out. You don't give Africans a total freehand without some level of control because of our selfish and corrupt nature. We need to restructure the western type of Democracy to suite our African way so as to make it very effective because there is no African state that is practicing complete democracy. Rather, what we have over Africa is seizure of power by force, by tricks, by cabals, by sit-tight, and a bunch of corrupt individuals who run affairs in upper and lower houses to their taste and gains not minding the feelings or reaction of the masses. Look at China, Russia, Thailand, etc today, they restructured the American democracy to fit their cultural values which is going fine and they are succeeding among other great nations. Some structures are not designed to fit-all situation perfectly, but they have to be reviewed to effectively match an environment, same way it applies to some technological equipment that are regionally designed to match the varying global environment.

Other African countries are using technology to move ahead.... Our leaders still thinks good roads are our problem, the colonial mentality.

Basic infrastructures such as roads and rails are very important to the development of any serious country.

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) yesterday explained that Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax primarily designed to support poor people, and not to create hardship for them.

The Chairman of FIRS, Babatunde Fowler allayed fears that the increase in VAT may cause hardship for the poor, stating that VAT is charged on consumption and capacity to consume. He said: “When you don’t consume certain categories of goods and services, you are not liable to pay VAT charges on those items.

VAT is not charged on all medical and pharmaceutical products. It is not charged on basic food items. It is not charged on books and educational materials. It is not charged on baby products, fertilizers, locally produced agricultural and veterinary medicine. VAT is not charged on farming machinery and farming transportation equipment.

“VAT is not charged on all exports, plant machinery and goods imported for use in Export Processing Zones and free trade zone: Provided that 100 per cent production of such company is for export.

“Other services exempted from VAT are medical services, services rendered by Community Banks, People’s Bank and Mortgage Institutions, plays and performances conducted by educational institutions as part of learning and all exported services are exempted from VAT.
Fowler said some people misunderstood what VAT is. VAT is a consumption tax. If you don’t have money to purchase certain categories of goods and services and you don’t consume them, then VAT is not your problem. “VAT is used to assist the needy.

VAT provides support for the needy, not a hardship on them; 85 per cent of VAT collected is shared among states for them to provide free education, free health services, provide basic amenities among others. “We can see what the Federal Government is doing with the tax money. Look at the rail system, the Abuja-Kaduna rail is complete. Look at the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, look at the education system, the school feeding programme among others. If at the state level, your government cannot justify the taxes you pay to them, you have the right to vote them out in the next four years,” Fowler said, according to a statement from FIRS.

Fowler said if countries such as United Arab Emirate (UAE), Saudi Arabia which are rich in oil resources would be laying emphasis on taxation, Nigeria should also emulate them.
The FIRS Chairman also explained that Nigeria’s economy is only picking up in recent times because former administrations over-looked tax reforms and depended on the depletable mineral resources.

And what do you use to build the road if not technology? You think it's the hoes and cultlasses your mother is using in her village farm work? If you have the technology without good roads how do you think you will look like before the rest of the world?

It's people like this that will sit and accept a thing without knowing if here should be an improvement....

Take a picture of road construction in 1998 and the one happening now and tell me the difference.

There is more to development than good roads.... Even the power is till an issue here.
