Economists in the house, pls is this a positive or negative development?

But to me, this sound good.

Though can't really say, I'm not an economist.

Lies.

You people will still complain say no money. God dey watch una

Are this people just naturally stupid or it’s just normal for African leaders

Under Buhari


Death and insecurity has tripled

One has to be alive first to pay tax

Economists in the house, pls is this a positive or negative development?

But to me, this sound good.

Yet there's no known tangible progress associated with it. Increment in tax payment out to be proportional with development

Shehu the good defender..... I shake bum bum for u oo... Your lie no get episode

If the tax payers have increased, why do we have a smaller collection compared to prior years.

G

Number of nigerians in poverty have gone up to a 150 million also

One day hot one day cold....

Fact remains that our debt profile has significantly increased with all the stories of improved revenue collection and swelling foreign reserves.

With all the focus on agriculture one would have expected a bag of rice to be 5k by now but till now we are still yet to see any improvements

And what is the tax been used for?

I wish the same revenue collected from the increased tax payers can be accounted for. Then life will be sweet in Nigeria

Na wash! Still Buhari runs around from country to country, borrowing money. Keep your story for the brainless Z*mbies.

Yes. Task masters!

BIG LIAR

Another day another lie . Government wey even their lies no get direction, na anywhere the wind blow, their mouth go open another lie, and the lies keep contradicting themselves Between Buhari government, GEJ government and OBJ government, abeg who tell lies pass? I lost count. In Fela's voice, Animals can't dash us human rights

Lie lie, I stopped paying.

See how they are roping themselves now by leading people to believe the government is recouping more money.

Call them to accountability over it tomorrow now and they will start blaming Jonathan and fallen oil prices

Yet the actual received is below 2014 figures.

Even with it been increased they wee still scam us as usual

Exactly my point

Scam at the highest level. Every thing about APC and their family is scam that is why if you type A just because you want to search something in Google it will bring out APC meaning Google has recognise them as scam. Beware of APC!

FRAUDULENT LIARS

How come tax receipts fell under Buhari?
