Nice write-up sir and we get the point. But let's take a minute and sincerely answer this question. Is non payment of tax Nigeria's real problem. Do you sincerely believe that if every single person in Nigeria paid their tax that the excess money won't go straight into some people's pocket instead of doing what the money is meant for. Think about that for a moment and u will see that non-payment of tax is only part of the strings of problem Nigeria has..it's not an excuse for the mediocrity in governance we face everyday. 2 Likes |

And this is where...(I hate using this comment)..change begins with you.
Democracy is hard work. Yet, many of us don't hold our polticians accountable. Many of us even defend them thoroughly, and many of us even talk of revolution...when all they want is their own share of the cake.
Lagos, they pay taxes there well well. So much so that Bubu brought the Fowler to come and do his magic on FIRS.And they have an effective first response/firebrigade// ambulance service.
In Nigeria? Many of us don't pay light bills, water bills, etc....even taxes. And we complain when these things don't work and we have to go and spend billions on generators and boreholes.
Lagos has a lot of corrupt politicans. YET....see what their taxes do. We have to face relaity in Nigeria. Either we pay the money needed for a good working ambulance service that would be well maintained...or we continue with what we saw in the picture.
And I hate saying that...but facts is facts. You canna get much out of a health budget of $2billion. A single ambulance costs $10000-20000. One ambulance for every LG in Nigeria would cost .....and then there are maintennace costs, fuel costs, trained worker costs...etc... well said.....but have u made your own change.....its an honest question and am not tryin to be rude:/ |

Modifed...
This is my last comment on this matter tonight.
The truth is, we are a poor country. And the stealing is not corruption crew in both parties are making it worse. We have a budget of $22bn, while one state in the USA has a budget of $160bn and we are demanding a level of care similar to that state...and we have a much higher population to boot.
Either we work harder for our money....or we accept we are poor and live with it.
Either we stop tolerating corruption, because many of the Nairalanders here, prefer to defend corruption so long as it is their side...or it continues.
Lagos has the best emergency response in Nigeria...because Lagosians...the vast majority of whom are POOR pay higher taxes than the rest of the country.
We cannot pay N200 for a N200000000 service. The minute we wake up to that, as well as to the hard work we need to to as a democracy to hold all leaders to account the better.
One final thought....I think that it is high time we toned down the toxicity and tribalism on this site. Nairaland has become a venue for toxic tribal wars and hate. Hate has already nearly wrecked us as a nation. Let us not go that way again
Thank you and goodningt. Gbam!!! May God bless the wonderful person behind this moniker.

Please, let's be guided o Eyah but I think if there's no rapid response then the state government is at fault. Lagos has it sha. Another thing I observed is that the hospitals provide ambulances, we don't even know if any hospital was contacted and refused to give their ambulance to these victims. 1 Like |

OK...
What if I told you guys that we could have MODERN AMBULANCES, ETC...like the ones we see aborad....IF WE PAID MORE TAXES.
Many Nigerians cry about how bad things are, and then port to countries like Canada, UK and US...where they pay municipal taxes as high as N30000 monthly or more....and in return, ambulance service is among the stuff provided.
Does Bihari pay tax before he was been flew out of the country for check up?
Our health care budget was N800billion out of N8 trillion naira...that's 2billion USD. In the USA...the state of New Youk has a budget of $160BN USD.
And we expect miracles from our scanty budget of $22billionn naira.?
And corruption is eating our budget as well...meanwhile PDP and APC supporters are defending their corrupt politicans well well...
If you want nice stuff....PAY TAXES. If you want increased funding..PAY HIGHER TAXES. Our tax rate is 0-24% In developed countries it can be has high as 50% per annum.
MODIFIED
Guys....YOU CANNOT EXPECT TO BUY A CAR OF 8 million for just 8000 naira
Yet you guys want USA , UK , EUROPEAN level of CARE for a fraction of the amount they spend there for health care??
By the way, anyone who quotes me to insult or abuse me would be reported to the mods. I have made my point without insults. You can do the same too. Uncivilized remarks would be reported.
Modifed...
This is my last comment on this matter tonight.
The truth is, we are a poor country. And the stealing is not corruption crew in both parties are making it worse. We have a budget of $22bn, while one state in the USA has a budget of $160bn and we are demanding a level of care similar to that state...and we have a much higher population to boot.
Either we work harder for our money....or we accept we are poor and live with it.
Either we stop tolerating corruption, because many of the Nairalanders here, prefer to defend corruption so long as it is their side...or it continues.
Lagos has the best emergency response in Nigeria...because Lagosians...the vast majority of whom are POOR pay higher taxes than the rest of the country.
We cannot pay N200 for a N200000000 service. The minute we wake up to that, as well as to the hard work we need to to as a democracy to hold all leaders to account the better.
One final thought....I think that it is high time we toned down the toxicity and tribalism on this site. Nairaland has become a venue for toxic tribal wars and hate. Hate has already nearly wrecked us as a nation. Let us not go that way again
Thank you and goodningt. 1 Like |

You can make your points without cursing.
Good evening, and grow up, little baby. Old man, weldone... Mods aren't as dumb as you think. I won't join words with someone who can't understand the difference between 'I feel like cursing you' and 'I will curse you'... Good night old man and rest well |

Thank you and goodningt. Oga, I want to start by saying that I salute your write up that is devoid of insults. For your information, the provision of ambulance services in America is not about tax payment. If you have any reason to use the ambulance, it's the individual that pays for it. Pls let me ask, do you need higher taxes as a government to provide emergency services in an airport that is own and managed by same government? The incident goes to show how we as a people lack the ability to plan. How many Nigerians have insurance on their properties and belongings? The answer is less than 1%. That is why at every life unplanned event we start calling on government. Peoples house go up in flames in America every day but they dont call on government, rather they run to their insurance companies. They only call on government when it's a natural disaster. My humble submission is to for us to put elected officials under scrutiny so as to force them to apply the available resources to good of all. |
