Nigeria would have been a rich country if we change from exporting raw materials to Western makrets to being a manufacturing power.

Yes, it sounds fanciful. But the problem with selling oil , cocoa, palmoil, groundnut ,e tc, is that

1.We don't control the prices of these things

2.Prices rise and fall

3.Ghana a few years ago earned 2 billion dollars from cocoa. One company bought part of that cocoa and earned profits of 17 billion dollars.

The problem is, getting to being an industrial society involves a lot of hard work. And Nigerians don't want that...they want to chop money. That's why revolution, or Biafra or whatever won't change things.

I completely agree, but countries like Norway, UAE, Qatar etc also became rich on the back of the same resource fortune that Nigerians pissed away via embezzlement and mismanagement.

johnmattew:
good...soft drinks are subtle poison......Nigerians should switch to fruits and tea

what if the taxes move to fruit and tea?

Norway, uae and qatar have small populations and produce far more oil than does Nigeria.

Norway is no 5 on the oil list...and has less than 15 million people. Norway also has a strong industrial sector...which exports.

UAE has about 10 million people.....and produces just the same amount as Nigeria.

Qatar has less than 1million people, and produces far more oil than Nigeria.

You know a man who was brought up in poverty.

Na ordinary sparkling water you dey take pose again?

you need brain resetting

Officialgarri:
In my own opinion, I think the tax on alcohol, champagne and other luxury items should be increased instead of pondering whether to increase tax on beverages or not

U are not different from Buhari himself. Shey because u don't drink alcohol abi. See ur head like donkey own.

saaron:
After lying to Nigerians that they have recovered hundreds of billions of dollars in looted funds, they are now trying to kill everyone through multiple taxes. This is the only govt in Nigeria's history that slapped Nigerians with numerous taxes with nothing to show for it. From bank charges, Tollgates, VAT, data and call charges, cable tv charges, petroluem charges all in the mids of biting hunger in the land.
What happened to monies they claimed they saved in TSA? Useless regime.

I have never seen a govt of misery like buhari's devilish govt. For the first time in Nigeria's history, eating food, making calls, and drinking soft drinks is no longer a necessaty to survive, but a luxury that must be taxed?! The world's poverty capital!
No doubt this statement is very true; ''When the wicked are in power, the people suffer.''

Nigerians should brace up, it's either we resist this nonsense or sit back and enjoy the next level suffering never witnessed before!!

All these were brought upon Nigerians by the Yorubas.

I blame them for this...

Yoruba's would ha e even supported a cow instead of this fatal error....

If these set of vampires continue to rule Nigeria for the next five years then naija is doomed.

It has begun! Welcome to the next level

[color=#990000][/color] all they shout is oil, what happened to harnesing other natural resources, gold , Columbite, rubber to mention a few, what happened to
exporting agriculture, cocoa, plantain and the likes, what happened to exporting timber, well, like they say, when you vote for idiots you suffer the consequences. Now with all the taxes, there will be nothing to show for it, still same bad road, no electricity, no good health care, escape from that shithole, you deserve better.

Thanks for the explanation.

Donald95:

Our greatest energy we have is FG. They are seriously looking for ways to impoverish nigerians searching every nook and cranny to see where to deal with nigerians.

Greatest enemy

The best practice is to do soft money investment in Nigeria in this era. FGN is looking for tangible and fixed operations to tax.

Regrettably, the taxes just like pension funds, will be raided by a few fellas. The only progress made in Nigeria so far is by individual efforts. Government by true definition is non-existent in Nigeria.

Blue3k:


Lol They essentially want a tax on almost every drink. If you want to escape the tax, drink water and make your own smoothies.

Nah water only u wan serve on ur wedding day or wedding abi.

But ,can't this FG tap into our natural resources to get more fund ? Must this govt killed us ? I'm definitely having a rethink about Buhari led govt

greatdreamer:


One day Buhari will tax before we can fvck our wives, boyfriends and girlfriends. Na next level taxations

That's where we are heading to . Next level is achievable

Waiting for zombies to come do the damage control as usual.Clueless idiots.

Which of them, is it MANNABBQ SMELLING SUYA, you won't see them on topics like this

This baba 2nd term is to arm the common man,so we no longer eat rice,now it's soft drinks again,why now?

Hunger has finished them already, their hands are shaking as a result.

you cant be indirectly taxing a jobless population create jobs and that way you generate tax, 70% of the 2020 budget is going to be borrowed, there is nothing bad in borrowing but the question is re you borrowing for consumption or production

Just imagine the rubbish you're saying just to defend the useless FG.


Let them reduce their salaries and allowance by 70% instead of taxing Nigerians to death.

Change is here!?

heckymaicon:

Well, defining the problem assumes that the government has to do something about it.

Let them reduce their salaries and allowance by 70% instead of taxing Nigerians to death.

Good idea...but what happens when the money runs out?

You and your government have to change the economy from a raw material dependent to an industrial goods exporter.

Thank you

Air, water and land taxes

Tell them bro

There is nothing wrong with taxation but the working population has to be productively engaged, and optimally too, for these heavy tax policies to make sense or even work.

I can't believe our politicians and civil servants are this ignorant.

Tax to fund Ridiculous government and senator extravagant spending. Nice

This is what you get, when you go
& take one local Fulani Civil servant from
Kaduna service & make her finance
Minister in such challenging economic
times.


The only way she knows about raising
revenue is taxing & more taxing.


Dem go soon introduce tax for
child birth.


Nonsense!!

This is a welcome development. We die here together

But Jonathan warned us about these little men who had nothing to offer.
Who else remembered when this Yahoo government promised to pay unemployed graduates 5k?
How a slowpoke scammed Nigerians who are born scammers is the 8th wonder of the world

saaron:
Fortunately this could be a blessing in disguise. For revolution to occur, there must be an atmosphere of hunger, suffering and misery to a level that cannot be tolerated. Thankfully the useless regime is doing a good job in that area.

Are Nigerians interested in revolution? Sowore who called for revolution is in captivity & some Nigerian youths are trending Tacha as if their lives& future depends on it

If you are as smart as u sound then I expect u to understand that there is no such thing as revolution in this part of the world cos Nigerians are the biggest cowards ever and they know just how to adapt to any situation no matter how ugly!
